COOLIDGE ACTS
TO AID FARMERS
500, 100000 Pool Planned for
Use of Cooperative Mar
keting Agencies.

Paul Smiths, N. "a move Of ex-
traordinary significance is being
made by the Coolidge administration,
to put into effect, privately and un-
officially, the farm relief program
Endorsed by the President in the last
session of congress. If this project,
which is said to have been conceived
by Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover, proves successful, powerful
banking groups, insurance companies,
and mortgage loan concerns will
form pool of $1O0,000,0OO or more
to be loaned to agricultural co-opera-
tive marketing organizations for
financing the marketing of farm
products at increased prices. Some
of the preliminary negotiations in
volved were disclosed by Charles S.
Barrett, head of the National Farm
ers' Union, who came here to confer
with the President at the latter's in
vitation on the present aspect of the
agricultural problem. After two
hour conference with Mr.. Coolidge at
the executive office here, Mr.. Barrett
accompanied the President to White
Pine Camp as weekend guest.
It is understood here tonight that
the Coolidge proposals provide for the
following steps: 1-Creation of a
$100,000,000 pool. made up of banks,
insurance companies and mortgage
loan concerns to extend credits to
agriculture for cooperative storing
and marketing on large scale. 2
,Apportioning loans which would per-
NIT cooperative marketing organiza-
lions to buy and hold farm products
for a price Else. 3-Organizing a
central marketing agency of cooper
atives to handle loans and supervise
regulation of production and market
ing of products. 4-Reimbursing, at
an agreed rate of interest, the finan-
cial interests which supply the need
ed marketing funds.

270,000,00O or about $55,000,000 In

Plan to Maintain Dairy
Herd by Raising Calves

An excellent method Of maintaining
the herd is by raising calves to supply
the place OF old COWS that are no
longer profitable. Such a herd will
always contain a considerable num-
Der OF young animals that have not
yet reached full development, and.
therefore, such a herd will seldom
equal in average production per ami
NAL a herd that is maintained wholly
by purchase. At the same time,
greater degree Of uniformity of type
may be maintained where the animals
are raised. II land is abundant and
cheap, the cost Of raising a calf. up to
the time that she becomes a fully de-
veloped COW, will be less than that OF
purchasing a similar animal outright.
Through force Of circumstances by Tar
the greater number Of dairymen must
rely on raising the calves necessary TO
maintain the herd. This being the
case, the ordinary dairyman win need
to provide himself with the services
Of a bull suitable TO produce useful
dairy cows. In most cases he will
need 70 own this bull. as the question
Of the selection and care OF the breed
ing bull has an important bearing upon
the maintenance OF the dairy herd.

Bacteria Chief Factor
in Changing Milk Odor

The chief factor In changing the
taste and odor OF milk is the bacteria
which are introduced from many
sources and which grow the more rap
idly as the temperature at which the
milk is handled rises. In order to limit
the change In the milk TO the mini
mum, II is necessary to limit both the
number Of bacteria Introduced and
the growth thereof. In seeking to ac-
complish the former, the milk produc-
er is faced with the question as to the
relative Importance OF the various
sources Of bacteria, for upon the an
swerA to this will depend the place
where Improvement should begin. I'm
portance is measured not only by the
number Of bacteria a particular
source may supply but by the kinds as
well. Some kinds grow well in MIX
as usually handled, others very slowly
or not at all. Since bacteria produce
results only as they grow, It is evident
that the latter will be far less Inn
pOrtant In their effects. although as far
as original numbers introduced, one
might be led to regard them as more

Farmer Who Balances His
Poultry Ration Gets Mot

Laying hens need q balanced ration,
This fact is demonstrated by an ex.
pertinent completed recently by the
South Dakota State college poultry
department. In which two pens OF 20
hens each were fed under the same
conditions but with different rations
In one case the hens were given all
the corn, oats. wheat and bar@y they
would eat The hens IN the other pen
received these same grains but In ad.
dition were given q 20 per cent meat
mash in order to make the ration bal.
anced.
A summary Of the results OF this
experiment indicates that the hens on
corn, oats, wheat and barley averaged
27.64 eggs per bird FOR the two-montha
period The hens that received the
meat mash In their ration averaged
$3.50 eggs per hen. The cost Of the
feed was practically the same in both
cases because the first pen ate enough
more grain to balance the cost OF the
meat mash, thus proving that the
farmer who will balance his poultry
ration win receive q greater profit

Mortality Loss in Baby

than Will the average farmer. The
chief causes of these losses may be
summarized as follows: Weak chicks
diarrhea, crowding, leg weakness, can
niballsm, coccidiosis and intestinal
worms.
A great deal may be done in pre-
venting these losses By adhering close
" to the i've essentials Of chick rails
ing advocated by the University OF
Missouri. These are:
/. Hatch early.
2. Brood each hatch separately for
four weeks.
3. Range on fresh ground.
4. Feed a balanced ration constantly

[ D([ILIIB]T
COCCIDIOSIS IS
FATAL AILMENT

One Of the most serious maladiea
which ponltry-farm owners have to
combat Is coccidiosis, q destructive
disease, especially prevalent on poul-
try farms where large number OF
birds are raised on q limited area.
Chickens between the ages Of four
and fourteen weeks are the most like
" to contract the infection, and suffer
the greatest mortality, according to
B. A. Beach Of the veterinary science
department at the Wisconsin College
OF Agriculture, in a recent circular
published by the college. He says
that although adult birds often con-
tract the disease, they seldom die d.
rectly from 1t.
The disease is the result OF infec-
ton by 4 small parasite, known as the
coccidium, which is spread In the
droppings Of infected birds Beach, In
outlining the symptoms Of the trouble,
says that the first to be noticed Is the
appearance OF blood In the droppings;
following this, the chick usually be-
comes listless; It's feathers become
ruined, and its wings droop. Contain
mated soil and water are the chief
carriers of infection. as are certain
adult birds, which are infected, though
showing no outward signs Of the dis
ease. Such hens are a continuous
source OF infection and a menace to all
chicks that are permitted to run with
them.
'No medicinal treatment has yet
been found OF sufficient value TO war
rant its use" Beach declares. ''Sani-
tation Is both the preventive and the
cure" he says
AS soon as coccidlosis IL diagnosed,
Beach says the steps TO be taken are
to remove all OF the apparently
healthy chicks to clean quarters-feed
the chicks inside brOoder houses--re-
move all litter from the brooder house
twice weekly-withhoid all mash, and
feed light on scratch feed, and keep
sour milk before the chicks at all
times.
