Stricken City AWakes

CANTA BARBARA, CAL, June 3O.-Beautiful San
~ ia Barbara, sleeping YEARLY but warily among
the ruins Of Mondays quake, was shattered and
shaken by another and devastating earth trcmor
at 20 a. M today.
Again, at 4:42, jolt of less violence swept the
city.
And then violent shock, equaling in intensity the
original quake at 6:45 a. yesterday, seized and
tossed and ratified the city at 5:55 a. m an hour when
inhabitants and rescue workers alike had believed
danger past.
For several minutes following the initial crash, the
earth continued to tremble violently.
The din, as walls collapsed further and build
ngs came down, was terrific Then followed cries,
shouts and screams of the people who had thought
to snatch brief respite from the terrors of yester-
day.
Out from houses and from tents, in which many
had taken the precaution to sleep, poured Santa Bar
bara, to view the fresh destruction.

Sudden Change Of Feed Causes
PulIet to Mott

Any sudden change in feeding or
care of flock of laying pullets is
likely to induce partial mott and
check egg production. For this rea-
son, any needed changes should be
made gradually. If the Kind of feed
is to be changed, gradually substitute
the new for the old, not Immediately
disseminating one thing to give an
other of a different kind. Do not
change suddenly from wet to dry, or
dry to wet mashes. or make great
changes in the amount of meat scrap
fed. It Is of course necessary that
changes should be made in the man
agement of flock at times, but avoid
the shock to what appears to be a
hens that ensues from quick changes.
I know of no way of helping a flock
through it's mott, other than by good
care and feeding, says q writer in the
Rural New I-orker. Do not change
the accustomed ration, with the idea
of helping the mott along, providing
that you were feeding a suitable lay
ing ration before the mott began.

RECOMMENDS
INDIVIDUAL
EGG RECORDS
By Peter A. .Thaanum of Winthrop

By Peter A. Thaanum of Winthrop
Pedigree poultry breeding requires
considerable time but l find it very
interesting and have also learned
much about my birds which / could
not have found out in any other way.
Pedigreeing poultry involves the use
OF trap nests, but these are very
simply made and I use one tran nest
for every three or four birds. Tend
ing these trap nests Is the part which
increases the amount of labor because
they have to be tended every day in
the year. I tend them about once
an hour in the forenoon but not so
often in the afternoon
Il do not trap nest all of my birds
but l pick out one or two pens of
those which I consider my best pull
let's. These are leg banded with
numbered aluminium bands and each
egg that a hen lays is recorded. Trap
nesting furnishes the egg record of
each hen but is only one step in the
process Of pedigreeing. During the
breeding season each egg is marked
with the number of the hen which
laid it and then when the eggs are
incubated it is necessary to identify
all of the chickens which hatch from
given men. TO do this I put the
eggs from any given hen in a pedi-
gree wire basket and mark each bas-
ket with the number of the hen which
laid the eggs in it. The eggs are in
cubated in the usual way until the
18th day when they are put into these
baskets.
after the chickens hatch and are
taken from the incubator each chick
en- is marked to distinguish it from
every other chicken by placing a
numbered aluminium band in the
chickens wing. From this time on
the chick is identified by this wing
band number
I'm order to do pedigree breeding
work system of records is very i'm
portant. l am using the pedigree
record system furnished by the Ex-
tension Service and as soon as I got
familiar with it 1 found it to be very
simple and accurate.

Basket Making
Work Popular

Basketry work has fast become one
of the most popular pieces of extern
sion work among the women in Zen
nebec County. Meetings have been
held in practically all communities
in the county where free instructions
have been given the women in the
making of wicker baskets and trays.
In addition to these. training classes
have been held, where representa-
tives of different communities would
get together and receive instruction
in the work from the home demon
stration agent. These women could
then return to their homes and give
similar instruction to the women of
their own communities.
During the month of July alone,
five such training classes were held,
the first on July is was composed of
eight women from Mt: Vernon, Bel
grade, North Belgrade and Sidney.
At this meeting four trays and four
baskets were made. On July II the
representatives from Winthrop and
Litehfield received similar instruc-
ton and made three baskets and two
trays. On July 16. six representa-
tives from Benton, Winslow and
Oakland held a training class while
on July 81 seven women from East
Augusta, West Augusta, Weber
Pond and Farmingdale received in
structien. South China, Windsor and
Vassalboro were represented in the
last training class held July %.
At these training classes, the wo-
men are taught how to make the
simpler kinds of baskets and trays
which can be used to good advantage
in the home. They are given such
a clear understanding of the work
that they can. then return to their
own communities and teach other
women who are DESTROYS of learning.

1.-THE hens which I pedigreed this
year all laid more than two hundred
eggs during their pullet year. These
were mated with a cockerel from a
three hundred one egg hen. In mat
ing each hen which is used as a
breeder Is given a mating number
and this mating number Is recorded
on a record sheet which also contains
the number of the male mated with
her, the wing band numbers Of all
the chickens which are Matched from
this mating together with other in
formation necessary in tracing the
pedigree of any Individual from one
year to the next. Keeping these rec
ords increases the amount of work
during the incubator season but after
the chickens are once recorded there
is no additional work in taking care
of them until the pullets are ready to
lay in the fall, then leg bands are
placed on these pullets and as they
begin to lay they are in turn trap
nested for their egg production and
the process is continued during the
next year. AS soon as I get started
l hope to have fair number of
pedigreed cockerels of high produce
ing birds to sell each fall. My aim
is to develop this line Of poultry work
rather than to raise large numbers of
hens for commercial eggs"

WINTHROP MAN SUCCESSFUL
AS ALL ROUND farmer

A. w Black of Winthrop is a real
all round farmer. From looking over
the various enterprises he is con-
Quoting on his farm, one can readily
see that he believes in diversified
ton.
Mr.. Black is primarily a poultry
man with a large flock of White
Leghorns. He also owns a small
dairy herd, owns and manages three
large orchards, keeps rs to so
swarms of bees and plants each year
two or three acres Of strawberries.
Mr.. Blacks poultry enterprise is
largest and most important. Last
spring he raised from three, to four
thousand chicks, at the same time
keeping more than a thousand hens.
This winter he plans on housing
around 1900 birds. All of Mr.. Blacks
chicks are White Leghorns bred
from a hen that produced 304 eggs
her pullet year. They came from
the Johnson plant at Waldoboro. Thus
he has high producing strain which
he keeps up to rigid culling and Sc
lection of breeding stock. --
One of the practices to which Mr..
Black accredits much of his success
in chick raising was the feeding of
semi-solid buttermilk and charcoal.
Il fed them semisolid buttermilk
and charcoal mixed good and black"
said Mr.. Black. Into this l put cod
liver oil. 1t kept them healthy and
l did not have to go around picking
up dead ones. / kept it in front of
them all the time and when the
chicks were a week old fed them
all the mash they wanted. 1t GER
tainly worked out fine with me-
- Mr.. Black gives a great deal of
credit for his success to what he
learned at poultry schools and at the
meetings of the Winthrop poultry
club of which he Is a member. In
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-10-03

speaking of the instruction he re-
ceived in this way, he says: ut GER.
ta1nly is great. 1t will help a fellow
raise chickens if anything will. l go
to the meetings when l won't go any
where else because l figure it worth
my while and money in my pocket
to do So" Mr.. Black is a member
and strong supporter of the Maine
Poultry Producers Association. He
keeps general farm account under
the direction of the Extension Serv-
ice and in this way is able to keep
close watch of all expenses and in
come from his poultry plant and 9TH
er enterprises. pm
He houses his laying hens in an
open front poultry house $50 feet
long and manages his flock along
lines recommended by the Extension
Service.
Mr.. Black is also a real dairyman
with a herd of eight cows. He has
served the last year as dairy project
leader in the local farm bureau He
has three large orchards which are
we'll managed and a source of con-
siderable income. Mr.. Black is a
strong believer in the use of nitrate
on his trees.
His bees keep him in ample supply
of comb honey and strained honey
which he sells largely to local trade
Each year he has two or three
acres of Strawberries of the highest
quality. He has originated a very
promising Seeding strawberry plant,
which is strong, vigorous and heavy
yielding. He also raises ever bear
ing berries which he picks until the
ground freezes.
In addition to these various farm
enterprises, Mr.. Black is the man
ager of the winthrop Farmers I'm
ion, a cooperative buying associa-
ton.
