Wide Market Opened for
Capons of High Quality

On the Eastern market buyers are
bidding from 80 to 35 cents per pound
for capons. This opens up a wide
market for breeders of heavy chick
ems. Capons are making strong COM
petition for turkeys on many of the
markets on account of the high quail
ity of their meat Then, too, some
consumers want larger bird than the
ordinary fowl.
The capon is more easily raised on
most farms than turkeys. The birds
grow rapidly and the caponizing op-
GRAFTON is not difficult to learn. The
instruments can be purchased from
$3.50 up, depending largely upon how
much nickel plating there is on the in
struments. The cheaper sets will Go
the work in a satisfactory manner and
will last If they are given proper at
tention.
A capon will usually grow two
pounds heavier than if left in the nat
ural state. The selling price is con-
siderably stronger so that the total re-
turns are generally from three to four
times that of ordinary cockerels sold
on the market. There does not seem
to be much danger Of an oversupply
of capons, so that it forms market
outlet that a good many breeders
should seriously consider.

KEEP FLOCK CLEAN
TO REDUCE LOSSES

Farmers of the Badger state are saw
ing thousands of chicks this spring
which might otherwise be lost because
they are keeping the poultry yards
cleaner, according to J. g. Halpin,
poultry department, Wisconsin College
of Agriculture. A healthy chick is
much easier to raise than diseased
chick. Chicks frequently get disease
through dirty litter or through the
eating of moldy feed. Trying to cure
chicks with medicine after the dis
ease has foothold is expensive and
many times ineffective.
Cleanliness should be one Of the first
things considered around the chick
yard. A clean brooder house starts
the chicks out well and if it is kept
free from dirty litter there will be
little chance of contamination from
the litter. Next to the brooder house
the yard is most important. Little
chicks should not be allowed to run
with the old hens for they run over
the chicks, eat their feed, and spread
disease to them.
There are diseases which the hens
carry that do not harm them yet are
very harmful when the chick becomes
exposed. More labor will be required
to care for the chicks if they are
brooded away from the buildings, but
the farmer will be repaid for this ex-
ira labor. If large number of chicks
Sc,
very important that they be raised
away from the rest of the flock and on
clean fresh soil, Halpin points out. If
the chicks have always been raised
on the same ground it is especially i'm
portant that they be gotten to fresh
can be raised on the same soil for five
or six years and then the seventh year
all sorts of trouble will follow.
A movable orooder house is great
help in this system of cleanliness. Each
year it can be moved to a different
location merely by hitching team of
horses to it. The chicks are then
turned loose on clean soil away from
the rest of the flock. The edge of the
corn field or the orchard are excellent
locations for the brooder house. Among
other things location of this kind
provides plenty of shade, which is
necessity during the hot summer
months, Halpin explains.
Worms and coccidiosis are two COM
mon chick diseases which can be kept
down through cleanliness around the
chick yard. Chicks which run on the
same ground as the old hens are very
likely to get worms. When chicks run
on the same range year after year even
though they do not come in contact
with the old hens they frequently con-
tract disease called coccidiosis. This
disease is very deadly to the young

Mineral Supplements Is
Subject of a Bulletin

Mineral elements are not to be re-
garded as medicines to be fed in doses,
but as foods to be supplied daily" says
l.. S. Palmer Of the Minnesota agricul-
tural experiment station in special bu[-
letin No. "a entitled Minerals for
Farm Animals"
Five mineral elements are ever like
ly to be lacking in farm rations so
dunn, chlorine, iodine, phosphorus and
calcium. Common salt supplies the
first two. Iodine can be supplied by
feeding sodium or potassium iodide, or
as sea salt from which the iodine has
not been removed by refining, or as
commercially iodized common salt. For
phosphorus and calcium deficiency the
mineral supplements must be bone
meal, spent bone black, or raw rock
phosphate floats. Spent bone black is
not a uniform product; only that which
has been used by the sugar refineries
should be fed Fertilizer bonemeal is
not recommended.

Fowls Need Protein to
Keep on Producing Eggs

Many farm f1ocks get little or no
protein in the winter and as result
are overfat and make poor produc-
ton. Farm hens are often given a
whole carcass to feed in one month
and no meat the next. AS result they
are thrown out of condition and often
are poisoned by spoiled meat.
There are three ways in which anil
NAL protein can be secured. A steady
supply is essential. Rabbits or dead
farm animals when available can be
cooked and ground or chopped up,
dried and put in box where hens can
eat when they want. Skim milk or
buttermilk can be put to no more prof
liable use on the farm than in produc-
ing winter eggs. Where box of meat
or supply of milk are available all of
the time, it may not be necessary to
put meat scraps in the mash, but If
there is a shortage Of these it will pay
to buy meat scraps.

SUNLIGHT REQUIRED
FOR FARM ANIMALS

"Give the hen, the COW and the
hog as much sunlight as possible"
is the motto for the farmer who would
have. efficient live stock.
Following closely the findings of
various European clinics chat sunlight
will cure ricketts, in the child, the agri.
cultural chemistry department of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture re-
ports that sunlight is equally valuable
in animal nutrition.
The value of sunlight as a medicine
both in preventing and curing dis
ease-is now firmly established. Lack
of sunlight produces poor bone struc-
ture. Leg weakness in the chick, stiff
ness and paralysis in the winter pigs.
loss of lime in milk-producing animals,
brittleness of bone and loss of teeth
are indications of a lack of sunshine
All of these troubles can be prevented
if animals get sufficient sunshine
However, this sunshine must be direct
inasmuch as the ultraviolet or the
short rays are the active agents of the
sunshine. Window glass filters out
these short rays.
On warm days when the sun shines
the poultry house windows should be
opened to admit the direct sunlight on
the hens Little chicks, of course, need
all the sunshine they can possibly get.
therefore they need to be outside
whenever the weather permits. The
hog and the COW are in just as urgent
need of the sunshine.

Pure Bred Animals
Not Prone to T. B.
One Breed Is as Susceptible
as Another.
prepared by the United States Department.
Of Arrri fnarnN

prepared by the United states Department.
of Agriculture)
There is no relation between the
breeding of cattle and their suscep-
tibility to tuberculosis. One breed is
as susceptible as another, and grades
are as likely to become infected as
pure breds.
These are conclusions of veterinary
specialists of the bureau of animal in
dustry, United States Department of
Agriculture. based on several years
experience in eradicating bovine
tuberculosis. In support of the con-
clusion the bureau veterinarians have
compiled 9 large number Of statistics
arranged according to the various
br@ IDS and whether the animals are
nLfe breds or grades.
From July l, 1921, to April 1, 1924.
ruberculin tests were applied to 1,424,-
3O2 pure bred cattle, of which At per
cent were found to be tuberculouS.
During the same period 4,456,439
grade cattle were subjected to tho
test, Of which 4.8 per cent reacted.
Among the pure bred and grade cattle
representing the various breeds the
federal specialists have been able to
find no evidence that any breed Is
more susceptible or resistant than any
other These conclusions apply to
large groups representing conditions
for the entire country. 1t is well
known that certain localities have
more infection than others, but the
management Of cattle, extent of buy
ing and selling without paying proper
attention to health, the control Of SAM
tary conditions, and the individual re-
sistance of the animals appear to be
the principal factors that determine
the degree Of infection. Breeding APP
parently has nothing to do with the
extent Of tuberculosis.

Results Expected
From Pure BREEDS
Information Based on Aver
age Experience of Many
Owners of Stock.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A report just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture on
the progress Of the better sires, better
stock campaign for the improvement Of
domestic animals states briefly why
pure bred animals excel other kinds.
The information is based on the aver
age experience of hundreds of stock
owners who have been in position to
make comparisons. 1t thus points to
the results which other farmers who
are considering the improvement of
their live stock may expect from pure
bred sires and also from the combined
use Of pure bred sireS and pure bred
dams.
Summary of Points.
Following is a summary of the
points in which pure breds excel:
Based on utility alone, pure bred live
stock has an earning power from a
third to one-half greater than scrub
stock Pure breds excel other stock
in: Superiority and uniformity in con-
formation and type, greater sale value,
early maturity, and economy in the
conversion of feed into meat, milk,
wool and work.
Surplus pure breds are salable at
satisfactory prices in majority of
cases.
The progeny Of pure bred sires has
practically so per cent greater sale
value than the progeny of sires not
! pure bred.
Better breeding, combined with
proper and adequate feed, practically
prevents runty live stock, Of which the
average farm has about per cent.
Well bred beef cattle, sheep, and
swine yield from to 10 per cent more
/ meat than inferior animals of the same
live weight, and the meat is of better
quality.
Improved live stock makes about 40
per cent more profitable use of feed
than common stock. Pure breds excel
| grades, and grades excel scrubs.
The use of pure bred sires leads to
the ownership and use Of fully six
times as many pure bred female ami
mails.
Points of Pure BREEDS.
The foregoing brief conclusions are
based on thorough analyses of large
numbers Of reports. The movement
for better live stock which the depart
ment is conducting in cooperation
with the various states, has resulted
in. gradually increasing recognition
/ OF the many points in which well bred
animals are superior 70 ordinary live
stock The study and control of anil
NAL breeding are among the most i'm
portant and practical means Of making
live stock enterprises more profitable
to farmers and also Of improving the
/ quality of meats.

Good Varieties of Trees
to Plant in an Orchard

Much disappointment has resulted
In many sections from the planting Of
inferior or second-grade trees, often

peddlers who had no other interest
than to dispose Of bunch Of Gull
trees. Considerable misinformation as
to how trees should be grown is cur
rent.
First-grade nursery trees suitable
for average planting will consist of
well-grown trees Of sufficient size for
their age, free from disease and insect

should be rejected. Gnarly, misshapen
stock seldom develops into satisfac-
tory trees

Set Strawberries Early
in Spring Is Best Plan

AS a rule it is best to set out straw
berry plants in the spring quite early,
and give them good care throughout
the season. They give their maximum
crop of fruit the second season after
planting, though they will give more
or less fruit for several years; but
after the first crop, the berries are
likely to be small.
In the fall after the ground is about
ready to freeze a mulching Of bean
straw, clover hay or some other kind
Of straw should be applied, to give
some protection during the winter and
keep the fruit clean at bearing time.
The mulch should not be applied very
heavy, however.
Strawberry plants may also be set
out in August if good plants can be
secured and provided the ground Is
not too dry to get them started. But
August planting will not give as much
fruit the next year after setting as
will the plants set out in the spring.

Root Crops for Poultry
Reduce Feed Expenses

By feeding more roots and vege-
tables the average poultry raiser can
reduce his feeding expenses very much
and also increase the egg yield. The
cheapest feed is that which will make
hens lay and the way to make hens
lay is to keep them in good health. 1t
is quite impossible to have the flock In
good laying condition when only grain
is given.
Such foods as carrots, turnips and
potatoes are not rich in egg producing
elements Yet they perform service
which renders all the other foods used
considerably more valuable. Let the
farmer or dairyman give his cows
nothing but corn and his supply of
milk would soon be reduced. 1t is the
same with hens, and the egg yield as
we'll. From a standpoint of dietary
principles the use of roots is recon-
mended and this will enable one to
feed more hens and get greater egg
yield with little or no extra cost.

Sodium Fluorid Useful
in Treating Poultry

Sodium fluorid is an insecticide used
in treating poultry for lice by plac-
ing just small bit of it at different
points in the feathers Of the fowl
where lice are usually found Al
though it is poisonous substance, the
poultry do not seem to get enough of
1t into their digestive system to cause
trouble. If used on cattle there would
be more danger of poisoning, because
cattle would be more likely to get it
into their digestive system by licking
themselves.
For cattle a mixture Of one-half
powdered sabadilla seed and one-half
sulphur is favored. This can be spread
along the backs and necks of cattle
where the lice are most likely to be,
and will be found quite effective in
keeping them in check so that they
will cause very little trouble to the
cattle.

Price Quite Important
in Cattle Feed Venture

The cost Of gains alone does not de-
termine profit in cattle feeding. Sell
ing price is equally important. Selling
price is determined very largely by
finish, hence the problem Of the feeder
is to produce as much gain and as
rapid gains as possible as cheaply as
possible Most gains cost more than
is necessary, but on the other hand
the cheapest gains are not necessarily
the most profitable. This emphasizes
the complexity of the cattle-feeding
business and the absolute necessity Of
using definite information relative to
the comparative feeding value of diff
ferent feeds and how they may be
combined to make the most profit in a
cattle-feeding venture.

Many Farmers Overlook
Potato Patch in Spring

Many farmers forget their potato
patch until the weeds force them to
give the crop thorough working with
the ordinary cultivators. BY this time
the weeds have secured such foothold
that they will be trouble throughout
the season and If there have been
rains, the soil has become hard and
crusted. To prevent this, and to start
the young plants off right, our best
growers are cultivating their potatoes
Immediately after the field is planted
with an ordinary weeder or a spike
tooth harrow with the teeth inclined
backward so as to prevent dragging
out Of the seed pieces and later the
young plants. This practice is usually
followed until the rows can be plainly
seen across the field, when the only
deep close cultivation is given.
