ELLSWORTH COOPERATIVE
CREAMERY IS PROVING
VERY MUCH DF A SUCCESS

At the Ellsworth Chamber Of Com
merce monthly meeting held last
Wednesday evening County Agent
Harry A. Bickford told Of the growth
and success of the cooperative
creamery in Ellsworth. Starting
with something like 500 cows less
than two years ago, it now had
cream from more than 500 cows and
ready market for it's product at
good prices. He emphasized what IT
meant to this county, and to Ellis
worth as its trading center, to stop
the ebb-tide Of COW population in the
county and turn it to a food tide.
This means Improvement Of agricul-
ture generally; the building up of
farms to greater productivity, so thar
they can support still more cows in
stead of the running out Of farms
and the decadence of agriculture.
This the creamery had done.
Concerning the mooted question Of
canning factory, Mr.. Bickford ex-
pressed the opinion that such would
be a success when it would fill an
economic need. as the creamery had
done. and not until then. He in
clined to the belief that co-opera tive
control of such a cannery would be
best, but that, if the need existed,
private ownership could also make it
a Success

IMPORTANCE Of
SCRATCH LITTER

Scratching, properly taught, is
absolutely essential. Abdominal
muscles play an important part in
the production life of any pullet
Do not think that because your
young stock is on good range that
they do not need to scratchi This
Is one Of the habits that Is needed
when placed in laying quarters, and
must be learned during the growing
period II maximum results are to be
obtained.
Foraging for bugs and worms
stimulates an appetite, but does
very little toward developing the
abdominal muscles which are a
controlling factor in size of eggs
laid, after maturity is reached. I'm
less these muscles are developed,
fat is stored up instead, which must
be worked off, after they are placed
in laying quarters-a delay that
is expensive and unnecessary.
We once made an experiment to
determine the value of scratch litter
for birds on range. Two units of
Leghorn pullets, same breeding,
same age, were fed and handled
alike, with the exception of method
of feeding grain. One unit was fed
their daily allowance of grain on
the ground, the other unit dug
theirs out of deep litter in an
out-of- doors scratch pen. When
placed in laying quarters. both
units had scratch litter-one unit
took to it like duck to water
the other had to learn what it was
all about. They also had a layer of
hard fat on their abdomens which

Two Successful
Alfalfa Growers

The alfalfa plots of w. ]. Rand.
North Arson; and Everett Hilton
OF Starks, are looking so we'll that
no one who visits them at the time
OF the auto tour can help feeling
enthused over the possibilities of
this splendid crop. The piece
seeded by Mr.. Rand while not a
large acreage had two tons of lime
and 10 lbs. of seed applied in the
spring of 1925. Mr.. Rand is so well
pleased with his crop that he is
making plans for quite an acreage
IN 1927. 1t Is also of passing inter-
est to note that he has an exception
ally fine piece Of sweet clover. His
land is well adapted to the growth
OF this crop and SO are a good many
acres on other mems farms in the
same territory.
The farm of Everett Hilton in
Starks and one of the show places
OF the town, Is the home Of another
man not willing to accept the idea
that alfalfa could not be grown,
This year he will cut his third crop
from as fine a piece as can be
found any where. Lacking 80 rods
Of an acre, the piece cut in 1925,
July 1. 1900 lbs. the second crop in
August 1400. Instead of cutting a
third crop 1t was pastured heavily
in October. Contrary to all ideas
concerning pasturage, no harm was
done to the crop. On an acre basis
the two cuttings would have pro-
duced 1900 lbs. Of alfalfa worth in
food value at least $500 a ton.
1t Is expected from the interest
shown that a good number Of farm
ers from Cornville, Scion, Madison.

Improve Appearances

The farm that looks well is far on
the road toward being what it ought
to be. Many people would say that
clothes are half the man. This is
more true with those whose bust
ness brings them into constant per-
| sonal touch with the people. In the
case of a woman, appearances are
all the more important.
All sorts of stores pay special
attention to appearances. Things
are kept clean and bright and at
tractive. Such conditions draw
, trade and are a constant and pow =
erful advertisement. The same is
true on a poultry plant When
prospective customers come to look
the stock over they are strongly
impressed, faVorablY or unfavor-
ably. by the way things look about
the place. If the buildings in which
your fowls are kept are in good re-
pair and beautifully painted and
are neat and clean outside and in
side a wonderfully good impression
is produced by the first approach,
This means a good deal. More than
many of US may think.
There is another reason why we
should keep things cleaned up. fixed
up and painted up. Its influence
upon ourselves is powerful. Many
a man is weakened in his business
morale" by a neglect just along
this line When a man gets dis
gusted with his surroundings it is
very hard for him to keep going
with any degree of courage. But if
he keeps things looking "spick and
span he will be quite likely to
grow more and more interested in
the work. This means money in his
pocket and JOY in his soul.
Things about a poultry plant have
a tendency to sag, to go bad. Re-
pairs must be looked after at fire.
quent intervals or in a few months
the entire plant will appear to have
gone largely to pieces. This is bad.
1t is quite strange how wonderful
ly a little needed repairing will
brighten things up and make a man
feel the worth whileness of his
business. Paint is wonderful
heartener A we'll painted building
improves the value of the place
from five to ten times more than
the paint and the labor cost. When
all the buildings are nicely painted
and the yards are kept well cleaned
up and repairs are we'll looked after
the battle of the business is we'll
nigh half won already.
Fixing and painting and cleaning
are also a strong factor in warding
off disease and insects and animals
that kill Many a poultry plant is
out of repair to such an extent that
skunks and rats and dogs and cats
can roam thru the fences and the
doors at pleasure. So there comes
some awful night when destruction
walks abroad. One goes out in the
morning to find a score or more of
his most promising birds dead and
half eaten by some prowling animal.
II fences and doors had been kept
we'll repaired and we'll closed this
awful tragedy would not have hap
pened.
Let's attend to these matters. 1t
will be worth while just for the adj
ditional pleasure we-Till take in our
business.
