Bad Housing Conditions
Cause Various Diseases

Colds Of poultry which are similar
in many respects to the colds of the
human family, should be regarded
critically as they may be the forerun-
.ner of more serious trouble, such as
nasal or ocular roup, diphtheria or
birdpox.
Poor housing conditions cause many
fiocks to acquire colds, especially in
the fall. Chicks should be trained to
roost as soon as possible, as this al
lows circulation of air around their
bodies. Dampness in houses should
be particularly avoided Chickens that
do not have sufficient feed or the
proper kind of food acquire colds
easily. A balanced ration consisting
of approximately equal parts Of mash
and grains, supplemented with plenty
of succulent green feeds, is one of
the best representatives..
In preventing colds from develop
ing into more serious trouble, where
whole fiocks are affected due to ex-
posture, it is often advisable to admin
lister epson salts at the rate of 1 to
Ia pounds to 100 adult birds, say
poultry men at the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
Unsanitary pens as compared with
clean ones result in death loss of
80 per cent, experiments conducted
by the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege show. Proper sanitation includes
all measures that are conducive to
good health, but is probably more con-
sidered in connection with the clean
liness of houses, yards, runs and gem
eral quarters as well as the feeding
and drinking utensils. 1t also includes
the control Of both internal and exter-
nal parasites.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-11-12

may cause considerable damage to the
rest of the crop If stored. Careful
handling of vegetables often prevents
much Of the loss in storage, since it
prevents the bruising of vegetables.
Root crops, such as beets, carrots,
rutabagas, winter radishes and tur-
nips, require similar storage condi-
tions. They keep best with large
amounts of atmospheric moisture and
in temperatures near the freezing
point. When storing, it is well to re-
move the tops without injuring the
skins Of the vegetables.
If there is difficulty in keeping root
crops in the cellar of the furnace
heated house, Moore suggests the fol-
lowing plan: Place the vegetables in
boxes or piles on the cement floor in
amounts of one to one and one-half
bushel lots, and cover with gunny
sacks. Sprinkle the sacks with water
TO prevent the vegetables from wilt
ing. Water may be sprinkled on the
floor to keep the atmosphere moist.
The temperature may be controlled by
opening the window.

EARN, NOTES

A little paint on farm implements
will prevent lot of rust
Keep the boy on the farm and make
him better farmer than yourself.
The road to successful farming is
bordered with clover and alfalfa and
paved with limestone.
Keeping good fences has a lot to
do with keeping good friends, and
every farmer needs both.
The good farmer owes it to his COM
munity as we'll as to himself to ex-
hibit his best products at the fairs.
One way to increase the years and
pleasure of the farm housewife is to
decrease the drudgery of her work by
installing labor-saving conveniences.
Avoid selecting corn which shows
signs of mold or which is extremely
rough and starchy. Off-colored ears
or ears with discolored shredded butts
make poor seed.

Rodents Destroy Great
Deal Of Farmers Grair

The saving of grain from rats and
mice and other rodents is of vital i'm
portance in making the farm pay a
maximum of profit. Every farmer
knows that rodents destroy a great
deal of grain, even though he may not
know how much. The United States
Department of Agriculture estimates
that every rat eats or destroys at
least 50 worth of feed in one year.
Proper storage of grain in strong
corn cribs and granaries which have
been so built as to resist the en-
croachments of rats and mice will
save the farmer a large sum of money
each year.
Concrete corn cribs and granaries
are being built by many farmers now
adays because concrete construction
is proof against rodents. They can
not gnaw their way into a concrete
granary, nor are the surfaces in these
structures such that they can climb
the walls and enter.
Added to the fact that concrete
granaries are rodent-proof are the
many other important considerations
in connection with this permanent
type of construction. Concrete struc-
lures are fire-safe; the farmer need
not be fearful that his grain supply
will be destroyed by fire. Such con-
structiOn is proof against weather,
thus eliminating the danger of the
grain being spoiled by dampness.

Soy Bean Oilmeal Is an
Excellent Poultry Feed

Tests at the Indiana experiment
station covering four years and in
volving 900 single-comb White Leg
horns and Barred Rocks proved soy
bean oil meal equal to tankage or
meat scraps for laying hens. Mineral
matter must be added to the soy-bean
oil meal, however, to make up that de-
ficiency.
The Purdue standard basal ration
was used in the tests 1t consists of
grain, 100 pounds of corn, 100 pounds
of wheat, so pounds of oats and mash,
30 pounds of bran and so pounds OF
middlings To this was added 80
pounds of tankage or 35 pounds of
meat scraps or 45 pounds of soy-bean
oil meal plus 10 per cent of minerals
or 47.5 pounds Of whole soy beans
plus 10 per cent OF minerals.
The mineral mixture consisted of %
pounds of steamed bonemeal, "a
pounds of finely ground limestone and
Is pounds of sale. The addition of
mineral matter is necessary to pre-.
vent a great growth of fat.
The United States Department of
Agriculture considers soy-bean oil
meal an excellent feed for growth and
egg production

POULTRY
FATS
FATTENED POULTRY
BEST FOR MARKET

1t is well known that during the fall
months there is relatively little fresh
killed young poultry on the market,
because the season for broilers has
passed and the great bulk of the roast
ers has not yet reached the market
Therefore, prices for well-fattened
young stock are excellent.
Farmers and commercial poultry
men should never think of disposing
of their market poultry in an unfat-
tened condition, says the Department
of Agriculture This is true whether
the birds are sold live or dressed, and
is apparent since much better prices
are paid for well fattened stock than
where the stock is taken directly off
the range. Farmers throughout the
country lose many thousands of dollars
through not properly fattening their
stock. The birds to be fattened should
either be placed in boxes, stalls, open
pens or in fattening crates where they
are kept for a period of two or three
weeks The size of the birds is an i'm
portant factor, because bird that
weighs from. three tn four pounds usu-
ally fAttens more readily than the
smaller bird. The larger the bird when
the fattening period starts, the short
err the time required for fattening.
three-pound bird can be fattened quite
well in three weeks, whereas a bird
weighing four pounds when put in the
fattening crate, coald probably be fat
tened in about two weeks.
Birds are best fattened on mois-
tened ground grains. Several good fat
tening rations have been used, one OF
which is as follows Equal parts, by
weight, of cornmeal, ground buck
wheat and middlings. Another good
fattening ration is composed of Two
parts cornmeal, one part crushed pats
and one part middlings. A variety of
grains is good thing, although corn
meal is particularly valuable for fat
tening purposes. Whatever fattening
mixture is used, it certainly should he
moistened with sour skim milk, using
enough milk to make the mash into a
thin batter which will run out of the
Pdl1 WHEEL Lie dlC OC4AS LEU. Min
not only improves the palatability of
the mash, which induces greater con-
sumption, but it also improves the
quality Of the flesh. 1t should be used
whenever possible, for it not only has
good fattening properties but also
tends to keep the birds in good health.
When the birds are properly fattened
they should each gain about one pound
in weigbs; therefore, there is not only
larger bird for market but the price
per pound will be considerably higher
than where the birds are not fattened.
There is no excuse, therefore, for not
fattening cockerels and culled pullets,
and this year it should be done early
because of the increase in grain prices.

Hints Suggested to
Prevent Calf Scours
Cure Will Be Simpler if Ami
NAL Is Treated Quickly.

Indigestion or Inflammation in the
stomach is the common cause of scours
in calves. If the calves are watched
closely and treated at the first indica-
ton of scours, the cure will be much
simpler Always begin the treatment
by cutting down the ration, thus CIV
ing the calf chance to rid itself of the
irritating material.
In slight cases, after one or two feed
ing periods have passed, the calf will
appear normal and full feeding can be
gradually resumed. In more obstinate
cases, however, it may be necessary to
give physic of two or three ounces
Of castor oil in a little milk. Forma-
lin, one-half ounce in fifteen and one
half ounces of water, as a stock soln-
ton also is recommended. This should
be given to the calf at the rate of a
teaspoonful of the solution in each pint
of milk fed.
But, since the "ounce of prevention
is all important, the following hints to
calf feeders are suggested by dairy
specialists at the New Jersey State
Agricultural college:
1. Always have milk at the same
temperature when feeding. Different
temperatures will cause scours. The
correct temperature is blood heat, or
SO degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Keep all feeding pals clean and
sweet.
3. Do not overfeed. 1t will cause
scours.
4. Keep calves in a bright, airy pen.
Sunlight is essential to the growth of
vigorous calves.
5. Always supply clean, fresh water.
8. Salt aids digestion. Keep it be-
fore tne youngsters at all times.
Z. Pens should be warm but not hot
and damp.
S Do not crowd too many calves
in ore pen.

Pillow Under Residues
to Help Fertility
Supply of Organic Matter Is
Very Essential.

Don't rake off or burn the trash left
on the fields after the crop is har-
vested Plow it under 1t contains
plant food of value from So to SIS
per acre and will increase crop yields
the following year.
Even where we use summer and
winter legumes for soil improvement,
the main crops have larger acreage
and therefore the cover crops planted
are not sufficient to maintain the sup
ply of organic NATTER" says w. f.
Pate, fertility agronomist at the North
Carolina State college. "This being
the case, it is necessary to pillow under
the crop residues such as corn stalks,
cotton stalks, tobacco stalks, peanut
vines, grasses and other vegetative
matter. This will help to keep up the
supply Of organic matter"
Professor Pate states that the sys-
tenn of farming generally practiced in
North Carolina tends to deplete the
amount of organic matter in the soil.
This causes the soils to wash and the
crops to suffer under abnormal grow
ing seasons as a late cold spring, too
little rain or too much rain In most
cases, where soil has yielded smaller
crops from year to year, the reason
can be found in that the supply of or
ganic matter has not been maintained
Then, in nearly all cases where the
soil is increasing in crop producing
power, the supply of organic matter is
increasing.
Years ago when our farming i'm
plements were crude or inadequate,
there was some reason for burning the
crop residues but not now" says Pro-
fessor Pate. with heavy plows, disk
harrows and tractors available, it is
crime not to turn under these val
liable crop residues. BY practicing fall
and winter blowing, the crop residues,
sometimes called trash, will be COM
pletely Incorporated into the soil and
no trouble will be had in the spring in
preparing good seeded"

Storing Seed Beans to
Keep Little WeeYil Out

A problem that often confronts the
farmer and housewife who wishes to
keep some of the seed from the garden
is. how may this seed be stored to
keep the bean weevil out? If the
beans are kept only for eating pur-
poses, one may heat them before put
ting them in box, sack or fruit jar;
or boiling water may be poured over
them. However, for seeding purposes,
neither of these will work. In this case
the beans should be thoroughly dry
and put into fruit Jar with camphor
gum. A small amount of the gum is all
that is necessary as it is strong and
lasting. Usually the eggs are laid in
the beans before they were hulled and
the gum must be used to help in con-
trolling the young weevils when they
hatch. If the seed is put into an open
container the beans may become con-
tamfnated or infested. So they should
be kept in a jar or something that is
tight enough to keep the adult beetle
or bug out.

1925 APPLES HAVE
EXCELLENT QUALITY
Recognize Temperature and
Moisture as Big Factors
In Storage.

Overcoming the handicap of a severe
drought, the Wisconsin apple crop is
of exceptional quality. Paul Nyhus,
state crop reporter, reports that al
though the lack of rain cut the yield
it left the quality of the apple unim-
paired.
The important, or commercial, dis
tricts of the Badger state grow three
classes of apples:
/. The summer apples consisting Of
such sorts as Transparent and Duchess
which comprise "a per cent Of the
states total crop.
2. Fall and early winter apples in
Guiding Wealthy and Mcmahon varie-
ties which constitute 45 per cent Of
the total yield.
3. And the winter apples, among
which are the Northwestern Greening
and the Russets, providing 81 per cent
of the crop.
Although summer apples did not
bring high prices, it is expected that
the growers can look forward to better
prices for his apples this winter. In
no slight degree the price of apples is
determined by their condition as they
come out Of storage. The problem Of
storage concerns both the large com
mercial grower, and the farmer who
stores a few hundred bushels for coun-
ty consumption.
Inspect Apples First.
Wisconsin growers appreciate that
before apples are stored it is important
that they be carefully inspected to see
that none are kept that are not ma
tured, or that are wormy or diseased.
They recognize that Immediately after
picking and grading the fruit should
be stored in cool place where the
temperature is constant. The ability
of the apple to stand cool temperatures
will permit the grower to keep them in
the open, protected by only an oilcloth
or roof Of boards, until late fall.
In the opinion Of G. L. Kuehner,
fruit extension specialist, Of the Wis
consln College Of Agriculture, better
storage place than the old-fashioned

Where you find scrub sires you
usually find a scrub farmer.

Seed corn should be selected in the

ventilated place for drying.
Field selection of good seed corn
should be attended to. If the work is
well done, no other farm operation
will pay a bigger dividend.

Fall Is Best Time for
Spreading Ground Lime

The fall of the year is usually the
best time for the hauling and spread
ing of ground limestone. The stubble
fields are usually hard and the roads
mostly good and the field work not so
pressing as in the spring. Some farm
ers have used hydrated lime at the
rate of about 200 pounds to the acre
and received good results with it.
Where the haul is long from the rail-
road siding, this type of lime treat
ment for soil is worth trying, because
Of the reduction of labor. Some men
have hauled the crushed limestone in
contractor dumping trucks and then
dumped the ground limestone at the
end of the fill and then spread with
lime spreader.
