DIVIDE HEN FLOCK
FOR BEST RESULTS

Separate pullets from hens, say
poultrymen from the New York State
College of Agriculture at Ithaca. Old
er hens Dire apt, if allowed, to keep
the pullets from their feed and boss
them around so that they do not get
a fair chance to develop as they
should. Separation also lessons the
risk from disease spread.
Skim milk is one Of the biggest
known aids to egg production, and
should be used to the limit. Every
pullet should always have all the
milk, sour or sweet, that she can
drink. Cleanliness is big factor in
handling poultry successfully, and the
college poultrymen suggest not only
washing the milk dish every time be-
fore use, but also cleaning the roosts,
the floors, and the self-feeders fire.
quently. Some men clean the drop
ping boards every day, but this is not
absolutely necessary.
With plenty of milk, the hens do not
need so much water, and a few farm
ers claim better results when no wa
ter at all is given if the hens always
have access to milk. The milk gives
them not only water, but also much
needed proteins and minerals.
Whole cabbages hung in the scratch
pens make fine green feed, but other
greenstuffs are also good. 1t is Sc
rious mistake to throw any large
nf %
floor where it is apt to be wasted by
getting moldy and dirty.
For the mash which pullets should
always have before them, equal parts
of bran, middlings, yellow corn meal,
ground heavy oats, and beef scraps
generally give the best results. If
the chickens have all the milk they
can drink, the meat scrap allowance
can be cut in two. The house itself
should be dry and well-ventilated.
Every poultryman knows the impor-
tance of keeping his stock free from
lice and mites. Litter in the scratch
pens should not be too deep at first,
as the pullets do not know how to
scratch deep yet. Yellow cracked
corn is as good a scratch feed as any
one needs, but one-third Of any other
wholesome grain can also be added.
Add to these aids and precautions
good culling program, say the state
college men, and any poultryman
should be able to get both pleasure
and profit from handling his flock.
The little things count in egg pro-
duction, they say. They believe these
practices, if followed, will increase
Goticeably the production of every
hen in the state. They are not, of
course, in favor of a greater total
production Of eggs, but less hens and
more eggs is the combination that
means money in the poultryman's
pocket

Good Roads and the TouUn

Beyond question the extensive build
ing of good roads has brought about a
new status for the town, big and little,
as it has for the country generally.
What this status finally shall be is not
in the nature of a problem so much
as a process that is bound to take its
own course to a large extent. Good
roads extend the commercial reach OF
every town. Whether that reach may
be made profitable depends much on
the town itself, for the reach Of other
places has been extended similarly.
Better roads bring into or near the
towns greatly increased travel. Wheth-
er that travel shall be made profitable
or negligible from a business point Of
view depends again very much on the
invitation the town affords.

Milk House Is Decided
Advantage to Dairvman

milk house on the dairy farm
properly fitted with separator, tester.
hot and cold water and ice box with
sink and drains is a decided adyan-
tage to the dairyman, but many of us
are unable to afford such equipment.
Many Of us have milk houses supplied
with well water but may not have
ice An ice house with ice supply Is
a thing to look forward to but without
one it is necessary to keep the cream
at low temperature until it is made
into butter or taken to the creamery.
If no milk house is on the farm. a
handy place can be fitted up for tenn
porary use in caring for the cream by
enclosing the windmill frame. The
four posts make a good framework
for support and an opening can be
left for the rod to work through at the
top. This will keep the sun off and
the running water will keep the place
quite cool. The door should be kept
closed either by a spring or weight
on rope so the wind will not whip it
open. This little precaution will also
avert the danger of leaving it open
by carelessness and will help to keep
out the flies.
With a good floor and troughs ar
ranged for drainage it can be made
quite sanitary. A tank can be OBJ
tanned having lid, and large enough
to set two or four large cream cans
in, and by running the pipe directly
from the pump into this tank then an
other pipe from there out into the
stock tank the water will be kept cir
culatlng and cool and keep the cream
at reasonably low temperature. Such
an equipment as this is quite cheap
and will answer the purpose very
nicely until milk house can be built,

Community Joins in
Shdde-Tree Plantine

Residents of Polytechnic, subur-
ban district of Fort Worth, Texas, are
conducting a tree planting campaign.
Carried to a successful conclusion, it
will result in the parkways alongside
every street and avenue in the suburb
being lined with shade trees of uni
form size and variety.
The movement is a result of the
effort of a resident of Avenue NJ to
improve the appearance Of his imme-
diate neighborhood. News Of the Ave
nue. NJ Identification project spread
rapidly to other streets in the suburb,
and its sheer merit awakened the
public conscience, with the result that
now there is hardly a street In the
district on which some self-appOinted
committee is not trying to put over a
similar program.
Indications are that each street will
select different variety Of tree. Thus
a mOtOrist in few years may be able
to drive through the suburb In the
shade of trembling sycamores, return
by another route shielded from the
summers sun by stately American
elms-a pride of Texas as well as
New England cities-thence to Great
er Fort Worth on a boulevard lined

Home Judged by Outside

While It is desirable to keep both
the interior and the exterior Of your
home in good repair, do not expend
all your efforts on the inside, as the
greater wear and tear results on the
part Of your home that is exposed to
the elements.
In addition to protecting your in
vestment in the home by proper care,
your efforts will tend to stimulate in
terest in the upkeep of their homes by
all your neighbors, who will usually
not wish to be outdone. This is ans
other way of adding indirectly to the
value of your own home, as it is to a
certain extent judged by the quality
of It's neighbors.
And in the event that you are at
any time forced to dispose of your
home you will find that a well-kept
home will sell easier and at a much
better price than If allowed to run
down to such an extent that it would
require costly repairs.

Building;
Small TotUns' GrotOth
SholUn by Statistics

For many years we have witnessed
N this country the phenomena of pro-
bounced population shifts from the
rural districts to the cities While this
movement still may be in progress, the
development of Semi-rural environment
has been carried to the place where
the big cities of the first magnitude
are now growing seemingly no more
rapidly than are the small cities and
large towns, and we even may be on
the threshold of a reaction from the
traditional pro-urban migration.
From the most complete and reliable
source of building information avail
able in this country, it is found that
during the first nine months of 1925
the % leading cities of the country, in
point of housing construction, enjoyed
a building gain of about II per cent
over the same period of 1924. From
the same authority it is learned that
344 cities and towns, exclusive of the
R6 metrOpoliSes, showed a combined
increase of substantially the same per-
centage. Included in this list Of 344
centers were some places with only a
few thousand population.
While these figures are not cOnclu-
sive, they are enough to the point to
arouse the interest of the student of
current economic conditions, and to
justify the hope that the small town
is beginning to come into it's Own.-

Boost Home TouUn

There may be a great many features
about your home town of which you
cannot be justly proud, lots of things
going just the other way, the way you
didn't want them to go. Just the same
when you go on the outside to speak
of the affairs and the progressiveness
of your home townsville. You never
see families with any degree of intel
ligence displaying dislil1es and hatreds

Grinding Hay for Dairy
Cows Is Not Profitable

Experiments conducted by the dairy
husbandry section of the Iowa expert
ment station indicate that it doesn't
pay to grind alfalfa hay when it is to
be fed to dairy cows. At least it
wasn't profitable in these preliminary
tests. Eight cows were used in the
experiment.
The use Of ground alfalfa did not
increase the yield of either milk or
butterfat in these tests and, in addi-
ton, there was a greater amount Of
ground hay refused by the cows than
of the unground hay.
1t cost $3.50 per ton to grind the
alfalfa and there seems little likeli-
hood that this figure could be reduced
on the average farm, those in charge
of the test say. The grinding cost,
they state, represents from 20 to 25
per cent of the market value of the
hay on the farm In the average year.

FARM NOTES

Lice and mites cut down winter egg
production. Your county agent has
directions for dipping and spraying.
Every possible encouragement should
be given to the production of home
grown feeds so far as this means
cheaper feeds.
Pasture undoubtedly aids in fur
nishing some of the nutritive factors
which make skim milk such a super
lative feed for young pigs fed in dry
lot.
Every farmer plans to keep his en-.
gine busy as many days as possible
throughout the year, because work
ing tractor is dividend payer. while
an idle engine Is losing investment.

Transplant Fruit Trees
in Spring Is Best Plan

Fruit trees can be transplanted in
the fall, although spring is the best
time. Greater care is required when
the trees are planted in the fall than
when set out in the spring. 1t is best
to dig the hole plenty large and fill
with water, allowing it to soak away
before planting the tree. 1t is also
beneficial to place an ordinary drain
tile upon end near the tree so that it
can be filed with water occasionally
during the summer time. Care should
be taken not to injure the roots but
to pack the soil firmly around them.
Arizona state miner., 1926-02-13
Horticulture Facts

Spraying must be done to control
insect and disease pests which would
otherwise destroy the major part of
fruit crops.
Look around carefully and make
sure that all tools and equipment are
placed under cover. Much money is
lost every year by having valuable
tools exposed to the winter weather.
Because Of the unusual drought of
last year in the West, more timber
has died from the attack of the
western pine beetle this season than
during any previous time during the
past Is years

EAST AND WEST
TO STRUGGLE in
KENTUCKY DERBY
MANY COLTS TO BE ENTERED
N TRACK ACTIVITIES DUR
ING PRESENT YEARS
EVENTS
my Associated Press)

LOUISVILLE, May 11.-Famed
in song, story and Cal.fornia-made
movies, the Kentucky Derby this
year will be the same traditional
struggle of east and west, with the
east better represented than it has
been in the past few years. Earl
Sande got the eastern colt, Flying
Ebony, to the wire first in 1925,
and the year before a western colt,
Black Gold, was the winner of the
Golden jubilee Derby.
Now, for the Rubber" year, a
mighty invasion has begun. Pom
pey, champion two-year-old, is
due here today, and other eastern
colts which ran in the Preakness
yesterday are scheduled to be
shipped west Immediately.
Failure Of Canter and Bagen-
bagge, two of the best liked of the
Derby elig.blea, in the Preakness
yesterday, makes the Derby a
more open one than ever. 1t is
true that Pompey and Bubbling
Over, two fast ones, are very much
in the running, but the unexpected
showing Of some of the others has
brought them also into the lime
light.
There is much speculation
among horsemen here as to what
Il. X. Bradley, master of Idle Hour
Farm, will send to the post next
Saturday. Bagcnbaggage will not
lose his chance il he came out of
the Preakness in good shape, and
1t is presumed he did. Trainer r.
j. Thompson likes the colt and
considers him a handy one to have
around at the finish. Bubbling
Over will go, but of Babenbag-
gage, Barcolo, Banco Suivi and
Boot To Boot, the trainer has not
disclosed his Intentions. That
two, and possibly three, OF the
Bradley horses win be in the run
ming seems certain. 1t is hardly
likely that more will be started.
Louisville will entertain the
largest Derby crowd that has ever
thronged to the city. Already
hotels are being filled and thou
sands of visitors are here, but the
influx does not begin in earnest
until Friday. Railroad and other.
transportation officials estimate a
crowd Of 125,0OO. Chicago, with
an estimated 10000, will lead.
Fifteen special trains have been
scheduled by the Pennsylvania
alone.

CHICAGO CUBS
MAKING GOOD

NEW YORK YANKEES SOAR
BACK TO PEAK UNDER
BATTING BARRAGE IN
GAME WITH TIGERS

ASSOCIATED PRESS HEAD
QUARTERS, May 1.-THE Chi
cago Cubs, ,pennantless for eight
years, today were within striking
distance of the National league
pinnacle.
With a smashing offensive
against the Robins and Pitcher
Jess Petty, yesterday, the Cubs
qualified as the Vests miracle
team Of the early season. The
Brooklyn Cubs, propelled on the
shoots Of brilliant pitching, had
been setting a dizzy pace, and
Petty, Robinson's southpaw ace,
bad won five straight games.
For seven innings against the
Cubs he pitched as masterfully as
he had from the opening day Of
the campaign. Then a base hit
storm broke and triumph by nine
to nothing advanced Chicago to
within half a game of the top.
The New York Yankees, unseat-
ed rs American league leaders by
Washington a few days ago, soar
ed back to the peak under bat
ting barrage which subdued the
Tigers, 10 to 0. Home runs by
Ruth, Gehr & and Combs figured
IN ihe Yankee offensive.
Washington fell with thump
to fourth place as the result of a
shut out, 2 to 0, from Thurston,
White Sox hurler, while three hits
proved sufficient for Cleveland to
keep Tsce with the Yankees and
sharls the first place berth. Two
bingIes, punched with errors, gave
Speakers men three runs in the
eighth, their winning margin.
Uhle, exposing Ehmke, hurled shut
out bali.
While the four leaders were ex-
changing positions, the Athletics,
baked by d slow start. picked up
little ground by scoring their
sevenii, straight victory at the ex-
pense Of the Browns, 3 to 2. A
triple and home run by Simmons
were telling blows in the Mack
drive.
The Giants suffered their eighth
defeat IN ten starts, when Cardinal
extra base blows administered to
Jack Withcr his first defeat Of the
season, 5 to 4. Blades and Bell
added home runs to the winning
attack.
