Rat Hing Campaigns
in Different Sections

In a good many sections rat-killing
campaigns are now in progress. These
are an excellent thing and poultrymen
usually are boosters in the work of
eradicating these pests.
The best method of eliminating rats
is prevention. In order to do this the
buildings must be constructed with
high foundations. rat will not try
to build his nest under floor that is
high enough off the ground so that a
cat or small dog can get under.
A good many old buildings can be
repaired so that they are not har-
Dor for rats by doing some excavating
with shovel so that a small dog or
cat can get under them. Where this
is impossible the owner will have to
Join the rat-killing campaign and elm
mate as much of the trouble as pos
sible by killing off the rats.

Candle All Eggs Before
Shipping to Anv Market

Egg dealers who are not certain, as
to the freshness of their eggs should
candle them before shipment, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which is planning close watch
over eggs shipped into interstate COM
merce during the warm spring and
summer months. Under the provisions
of the federal food and drugs act, eggs
with yolks stuck to the shell, moldy
eggs. black spots, mixed rots, and
black rots. are classified as adul-
terated
Investigations have shown that it is
commercially practicable by Gambling
to eliminate the eggs liable to be
graded as adulterated. The dealer
who candles his eggs before shipment
runs little risk of violating the law
or of having his eggs rejected at des-
tination. A number of states have
food-control measures providing for
the Gambling Of eggs before sale.

Green Color in
Hay Aids Price
Usually Has Highest Feed
ing Value and Is Given
First Grade.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
The amount of green color present
IL usually the most important grading
factor in hay. Other factors being
equal, the hay with the best natural
green color usually brings the best
price, has the highest feeding value and
should be graded highest. This color
has been described by such indefinite
words as bright. good, fair. and poor.
These terms can be variously In
terpreted, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, and are not
definite as to the amount of green in
the hay. The nature of the color must
be determined by the eye alone, but the
department required some method Of
checking the accuracy of these deter
limitations SO that inspectors and others
using the grades might be properly
trained.
MunseII Color System Used.
A satisfactory method for determin-
ing color in timothy hay has been in
use for some time, but this Is not salts
factory for alfalfa or many other kinds
of hay for various reasons. Recent
ly, however, after considerable investi-
cation by the hay, seed, and feed divi-
sion, it has been found possible to ap-
ply the Munsell color system to the
measurement of color in alfalfa. and
most other kinds of hay. This system
Is one by which every kind of color can
be definitely measured by spinning
disks of known color value together
and calculating the resultant color. AS
a mass of hay contains many shades
and colors, it Is also necessary to spin
the hay so that the colors are merged
into one blend of color which is meas
ured by comparison with standard
color disks of known color.
Spin Sample Of Hay.
A machine has been devised which
spins sample Of hay and Munsell coli
or disks at the same time. A repre-
sentative portion of lot Of hay is
placed in the machine and spun at the
rate of about 1900 revolutions per min
ute. Munsell color disks are placed
on the same axis as the hay sample
and both spun together. The color
disks can be adjusted until they ex-
actly match the composite color of the
revolving hay. By this method the col
or of any lot of hay can be accurately
measured.

Fighting to Extinguish
Dangerous Corn Borer

The corn borer is getting a great
deal of attention from farmers and
college experiment men in Ohio and
southern Ontario. Every conceivable
method is being tried in desperate
attempt to put stop to his ravages.
A burial experiment was tried out last
year at the Ohio Agricultural college
in which 1900 borers were covered in
stubble and stalks to a depth Of FIVE
or six inches by the pillow and then
the soil received ordinary cultivation.
All of the borers persisted, not single
moth having been taken from the
cages placed on the plowed area. This
experiment would indicate that thor
ough blowing and covering of stubble
will be one of the big factors in the
fight to extinguish this dangerous pest.

Sanitation Needed
in Raising Calves
Clean and Scalded Utensils
Are Most Important.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
In the raising of calves one of the
most important requisites is good SAM
tation. In discussing this timely mat
ter, veterinary specialists of the bu-
reau Of animal industry, United States
Department of Agriculture, point out
that adult cows may tolerate certain
organisms that will cause serious dis
turbances in the digestive tract Of
calves. The main constituent of a
calf's diet is milk, which also is q
favorable medium for the development
of bacteria.
When faulty sanitation exists. some
of the bacteria that gain access to the
milk intended for calf feeding may be
of the disease-producing type. For
this reason, department specialists
say, sanitary measures must apply not
only to the quarters where the cows
and calves are kept but to the calf
feeding equipment as well. Clean and
scalded milk utensils are needed to
safeguard the handled calf against
possible disease. Ventilation and SUM-
light also are essential to the we'll
being of calves and should receive the
most careful attention of those en-
gagged in the rearing of calves.
In addition to the daily cleaning Of
the calf quarters, periodical disinfec-
ton is advised. By so doing, infection
has very little chance to establish a
foothold and many of the more COM
mon ailments of calves will be avoided.

New Ground for Chicks

The most important aid which the
poultry keeper has in fighting worms
and coccidiosis in their young chicks
is the use Of new ground for the brood
coops. Too many producers keep on
using the old runs year after year with
out change and then blame their in
ability to raise a large percentage Of
healthy, thrifty chicks to poor luck.
Very often the remedy is simple and in
good many cases the moving of the
brooder houses and coops is all that Is
needed.

Best Soil for Rhubarb

Rhubarb Is not particular as to soil,
but it thrives best in soil that is mel
low and fertile to considerable depth.
Soils that have high subsoil or hard
pan are to be avoided. AS the large
leaves and succulent stems require an
enormous amount Of soil moisture. ir-
rigation is sometimes advisable for
this crop. Warm exposures or soils
sloping toward the south are desirable
when earliness is the chief considera-
ton.
