POULTRY
RIGHT FEED WILL
STOP SOFT SHELLS

AT this time of the year no COM
plant Is much more common than that
hens are laying soft-shelled eggs. This
means considerable loss through
corresponding reduction in the guam
tity Of marketable eggs produced. The
causes of soft-shelled eggs are we'll
known to the well-informed poultry
man. He understands that the ap-
pearance of such an egg is an indica-
tion of improper feeding and he gov
erns himself accordingly.
The yolk of the egg is fully formed
when 1t breaks from the hens Ovary
and drops into the funnel-shaped
mouth Of the oviduct. 1t is at this
point that fertilization Of the egg takes
place, If the egg is to be fertilized, and
probably within few minutes of the
breaking loose Of the yolk. In about
three hours the formation of the
thicker albumen Is completed, this
taking place in the upper and central
sections of the oviduct.
The third and last section of this
organ secretes the shell membrane,
and 1t also requires about three hours
for the shell to form therein. By the
expansion and contraction of the walls
OF the oviduct the egg is forced for
ward into the shell gland, where the
lime Is deposited, and within II to
"a hours the egg is laid One can
readily see that anything that would
have a tendency to make the egg pass
too rapidly through this portion of
the oviduct would cause the hen to
lay soft-shelled eggs.
The first and usual cause of soft
shelled eggs is that the bird Is too fat.
The muscular movement of the oviduct
Is hindered by layers of fat, and in
stead of the egg being controlled by
firm muscles it merely slips through
a f1abby mass without getting it's she'll
on. The difficulty will vanish if the
birds are made to scratch hard in q
clean, dry straw litter for all their
grain,- and the ration fed is not over
fattening. Sprouted oats will be a
valuable food, as they are less fat
tening than either wheat or corn. In
a few days all mashes, especially
moist mashes, If many soft-shelled
eggs are coming through.
The second source of soft-shelled
eggs is lack of lime in the hens ra-
ton. In this case the shell-secreting
part of the oviduct fails to do its
work because Of lack of material.
Oyster shell broken fine enough for
the hens to eat or dry granulated
bone are good sources for the lime
required. It Is claimed by some poul-
trymen that the use of limestone grit
also helps to supply material to the
hen. 1t is often recommended that
old plaster or mortar be broken or
ground fairly fine and thrown into a
box in the pen for the birds to eat.

Keeping Records Shows
Profits From Hen Flock

The year 1925 was a good one for
the poultryman who kept close tabs
on his flock.
Profits for the year ending Novem-
Der l ran slightly higher than a year
ago in most counties l have visited so
far for summarizing records" writes
q. S. Vickers, poultry extension spe-
cialist at the Ohio State university. In
letter sent to the 1,O7O Ohio farm
ers who keep flock records in cooper
atlon with the university.
Indications are that these poultry
men will average 13O eggs or more Der
hen for the year. The state average is
about seventy eggs.
In Medina county the high flock
made a net profit of 1888 on each hen
housed at the start OF the year, while
the low flock made forty-two cents a
hen. The low man cannot possibly
maintain the same standard of living
the high man can. He has a problem
to meet II he wants more of these
worldly goods.

Factors on Which Money
in Dairy Farm Depends

Profitable dairying is primarily de-
pendent upon:
l. Good cows and the reproduction
of better COWS through the use Of pure
bred dairy bulls.
2. Intelligent feeding of COWS and
calves.
8. Adequate care and attention to
details.
The COW that cannot produce IT'S
pounds Of butterfat a year in Colo
radO under average conditions, cannot
make any income over feed cost for
her owner. In other words, the COW
that cannot average two gallons of
milk a day, testing 3.5 per cent for
80 days in the year is not making the
owner labor income.
Intelligent feeding does not consist
merely Of balancing rations, but rather
OF balancing the feeds available in
your locality and those feeds that can
be obtained at a price which Is not
prohibitive.
Adequate care is not the shelter of
barbed wire fence, neither Is it of
necessity, a $4,000 establishment. but
dairying is like lot of other things.
Extremes are not what we need-we
need medium.-H. r. Lascelles.

REASONABLE CARE
IN PRUNING PAYS

Pruning now occupies the attention
of fruit growers, and questions arise
concerning the best procedure under
certain conditions. Experience shows
that orchardists prune too much, with
out regard to the real need Of the tree
1t is pointed out that with trees which
are we'll selected when the orchard is
set out, it is necessary to remove only
occasional branches which start out in
the wrong place, and to remove dead,
injured and crossed limbs
If the trees are bearing small fruits,
If the tops contain many dead
branches, or If the seasonal growth
is short and scant, judicious pruning
Is recommended as a means Of reju-
venation. This usually consists in cut
ting back many branches, and in en-
tirely removing others. The following
general rules are applicable under
such conditions: Prune weak growing
varieties heavily strong growing kinds
lightly. Varieties which branch free
ly need little pruning; those with many
unbranched limbs, much pruning.
Prune trees in rich, deep soils lightly
in poor, shallow soils, heavily.
The cutting back Of all the branches
of tree is practiced regularly only
with peaches, and some plums. This
Is attributed to the fact that, with
these fruits, the wood of the past sea-
son, and therefore the crop, is borne
progressively further away from the
trunk, SO that it is necessary to head
in these fruits by cutting back the
branches in order to keep the bearing
wood near the trunk. On the other
hand, apples, pears cherries, and most
plums are borne on spurs from wood
two or more years old, and with these
heading-in Is not so desirable. Expert
mental evidence indicates that winter
pruning has no special advantage over
summer pruning, except that the pres
sure of other work Is less during the
winter months.

Mosaic Disease Causes
Trouble With Raspberry

Raspberry growers have within the
last few years become acquainted with
q serious disease known as mosaic.
This is one Of the sO-called virus dis
eases which Is carried in the sap Of
the plant and Is spread from plant to
plant by means Of sap-sucking in
sects, the principal offender being a
large green aphid or plant louise This
disease has become so serious in most
of the raspberry growing states that
drastic efforts are being taken by
nursery inspection forces to hold 1t
under control. 1t reduces the vigor
Of the plant, and consequently the
yield. The fruit is smaller and more
crumbly on mosaic plants than on
healthy plants. SO sweeping in it's
effect has been the mosaic disease
that in some states entire varieties
have been discarded because of the
prevalence of infection. Nurserymen
and fruit growers cannot be urged
too much to make every effort to Sc
cure and maintain disease-free planta-
tiOns. If mosaic-free plants can be
secured and planted in beds isolated
by at least 20 rods from any other
raspberry field, they can generally be
kept free from the disease It will
require watchfplness and immediate
digging and destruction Of infected
plants whenever they appear.

Carrying Unproductive
Sows Is Very Expensive

Pork producers go to considerable
expense in carrying sows and gifts
that fail to return their owners
profit, according to records gathered
by the farm organization and manage
ment department of the college Of ag-
riculture, University Of Illinois, from
25 Mclean and Woodford county
farms. The records from these farms
for one year show that only 85 per
cent Of the sows and gifts which were
bred weaned litters.
The 25 farms from which the rec
ords were obtained averaged nearly
19 sows and gifts a farm, or 40 in all.
OF this number, 16, or 3.4 per cent,
died between the time Of breeding
and the time the litters were weaned.
Twenty-eight sows and gifts, or per
cent of the total number on the 25
farms, proved to be barren or aborted.
Between farrowing and weaving time,
26 of the sows and gifts, or 5.5 per
cent Of them, lost all their pigs from
various causes, leaving 400, or nearly
85 per cent, which produced pigs for
the feed lot.
"While a 100 per cent pig crop can
hardly be expected, the overhead cost
Of carrying unproductive breeding
stock may be greatly reduced" R. c.
Ross of the farm organization and
management department pointed out.
1.-THE early removal OF nonbreeders
from the herd and the practice Of
feeding them out for an early market
reduces feed cost and takes advantage
Of market which Is usually favor
able. The greatest saving, however,
may be made by, reducing losses after
narrowing and thus securing profitable
litters from larger proportion Of the
sows bred"

WASTE MILK GOOD
FOR BROOD SOWS

There is no feed better than milk
for the brood sow during the two
months or six weeks before farrow-
ing. The size and strength of the
pigs will be determined by the kind
Of feed the sow gets during this
period and she should have some pro-
tein feed from animal sources. Skim
milk, buttermilk, fish meal or tank
age furnish such nutrlments.
"In the absence of milk, either the
fish meal or tankage may be used,"
says Prof. w. w. Shay, swine exten-
sion specialist at the North Carolina
State college. Experiments con-
pertinent station staff show that the
difference In feeding value Is small.
It Is mostly question Of cost. The
same is true of skim milk or butter
milk unless there is too much rinse
water in the buttermilk.
However, unless milk can be
bought at about 38 cents per hundred
pounds, it would be profitable to buy
the fish meal or tankage; otherwise,
the feeder would be giving the milk
producer a share In the profits from
the feeding. On the other hand, when
the milk producer sells his milk for
hog feed at 38 cents per 100 pounds,
he is letting 1t go for A cents less
than hogs would pay him for the same
price. This is based on corn at 81
per bushel and the price Of fish meal
or tankage at $40 per ton.
"Here we have a situation where
skim milk or buttermilk Is worth 81
cents per 100 pounds to the producer
and only 38 cents per 100 to the
hog feeder and that much only when
the ratio and high level Of corn and
hog prices obtain, and he feeds the
milk in the proportion Of three
pounds of milk to one pound Of corn"
Mr.. Shay states that the man who
buys milk must also consider the
greater weight and poor keeping
qualities Of this product as compared
to fish meal and tankage.

Strawberry Root Louise
Feeds on Tender Parts

The strawberry root louise passes
the winter as shining black egg,
which, in early spring, hatch wingless
summer females that mature and give
birth to living young. These are all
females and give birth to young
throughout the season. Winged males
and females appear at the approach
Of cold weather in the fall.
At first the summer females feed
on the young, tender parts of the
plants above ground, but In the latter
part of April they move down to the
roots of the plants, where colonies
are established. The little brown field
ant is responsible for the moving of
this aphis to the roots. The aphids
multiply very rapidly, one generation
following another about every four
teen or sixteen days. At the approach
females appear. The females deposit
their winter eggs on the leaves and
leaf stems above the ground.
Loss caused by the strawberry root
louise can be avoided by setting clean
plants on uninfested land by adopt
ing a crop rotation and by turning
under abandoned beds as soon as the
crop is harvested
The plants for new beds may be
freed of aphids by waiting until all
the eggs are hatched and then dip
ping them-rOots, plants and tops-in

EXTRA MILKING IS
GAINING IN FAVOR

Is 1t profitable for the average dairy
farmer to milk three times a day dur
Ing the winter months if he can find
the time to do it? The New Jersey
College of Agriculture, Rutgers uni
versity, says it is and offers two re-
cent experiences to support the state
ment
A few weeks ago, when the herd
at the college farm failed to supply
the demand for Rutgers special milk,
it was decided to milk nine of the
COWS three times a day, with the idea
of making up the shortage In spite
of the fact that these animals had all
been milking from three to six months,
the average daily production per COW
increased four quarts under the three
milkings. If these cows had been
fresh, the increase would have been
greater, the college dairy specialist
asserts.
The other example is that of D.
Morton Davis, Marlboro, Cumberland
county, breeder of pure-bred Hol-
stems, who had the most productive
herd in the Salem Cumberland -Glou-
cester association last year by milk
ing three times a day. The average
of his cows was 12,421 pounds of milk,
and 415 pounds of butterfat for the
year. Mr.. Davis states that by milk
ing group Of ten COWS three times a
day, instead Of twice, he can ship an
extra 40-quart can of milk.
When HOIstein COWS give 60 or more
pounds of milk day, Jerseys and
Guernseys 10 or more, they should,
for humane reasons, be milked three
times, continues the college of agri-
culture. When any cow Is giving 40
pounds a day, Is to 20 per cent in
crease can be expected from the extra
milking. 1t is also thought by many
that milking a two-year-old heifer
three times a day tends to increase
her future as well as her present milk
giving capacity. By feeding a bal
anced ration according to the amount
OF milk produced, the increase In feed
cost will be very small
Most dairy farmers now realize that
the price of milk cannot be advanced
very much without reducing the
amount of milk consumed by the gen.
'eral public. With this idea in mind
they realize that only through more
efficient production can they get more
profit per cow.
