The early bird gets the worm, and
the farmer who matches his chicks
early is laying the foundation for
profitable egg production next winter,
according to the 1arrowe Institute of
Animal Economics. November now
brings highest prices for eggs in
stead of January as in former years,
and progressive farmers are finding
that it pays to advance Matching for
merly done in May and June to Feb
ruary and March.
While winter is normally the season
of dormant reproduction in poultry,
the farmer who applies the few basic
principles of poultry culture will find
that he is able to get satisfactory pro-
duction from his flock during the cold
months, the Institute states. The use
Of good blood is the first prerequisite;
early Matching is important; third,
there must be constant growth from
the time the pullet pops out of the
egg until she lays one, and plentiful
feeding of egg-making food during
the laying. Especially important is
the matter of proper feeding, for
without the right kind and quantities
of feed the other factors will be of
little avail.
The advantages of early Matching
are enumerated by the Institute as
follows: Early Matched chicks are less
susceptible to the common poultry
diseases, make good normal growth
during spring and summer and come
into laying condition when eggs are
in excellnt demand at satisfactory
pride. Under average brooding ard
rearing conditions, chicks with an ear
ly start make much better growth
and attain a larger size and develop
ment than do late Matched chicks.
Another advantage of early Matching
chicks is that the surplus cockerels
can be marketed as broilers when
eight to ten weeks old on very salts
factory terms, but if this is not desir-
ed, they can be put on good green pas
ture and grown to rooster age, when
they can be marketed advantageonsly
in October or November. Then, too,
early Matched pullets, if allowed to
neck-molt in November and December
will slow up production and, if allow
ed to come into production again,
make ideal breeders.

Livesay Brothers, Of Bend, Oregon,
made net profit of $1450.40 on their
flock of $50 White Leghorn hens for
the year ending December LIST. They
found that their eggs, which sold for
an average of 45 cents a dozen, cost
them Is cents to produce; the total
receipts for their flock were $7.98 per
hen, and the cost was only $3.50 each.
The flock average was 212.5 eggs per
hem.
The Livesays buy their chicks ready
Matched, and they sell no eggs for
Matching; they run an exclusive egg
producing plant They propose to in
crease their flock to 1000 hens, which
at the rate of the present flock would
make theirs the most famous egg
farm in America.
They have not asked for new laws,

AGRICULTURE

An added income Of $44,14O year
is enjoyed by Worcester county farm
ers indirectly as result Of Keeping
cows, according to the Larrowe Insti-
tute of Animal Economies. This in
come is in the form Of a more fertile
soil due to manure Of the dairy cows
in this county.
Manure is a source of the most
valuable plant food obtainable, says
the Institute, but to preserve it at it's
highest value or efficiency, it should
either be put directly to the fields
each day or conserved until such a
time as the opportunity offers itself
to spread it. Feeding trials have prov
en- that an ordinary cow, while put
ting from Is to 18 per cent of the
total energy Of the feed she consumes
into milk, actually returns to the soil
go per cent of the elements of soil fer
tility in her feed in the form of ma
nure. This had led many dairymen
to discover that the purchase of good
concentrate feeds for their cows not
only more than pays for itself in in
creased milk production but that it al
so supplies necessary food to farm
crops that are expensive when bought
in the form of commercial fertilizer.

Department Of agriculture estimates
give rs billion as the probable num-
Der of birds in the world. about 40
times the number of people. They
estimate five billion birds in the u. S.
alone.
Birds are mankind's best friends.
Practically every bird is costless,
automatic, self-perpetuating bug-and-
worm-killer, without whose aid the
country would soon swarm with in
sect plaques like those of Egypt in
the times of Pharoah.
It is perhaps good business for the
nation that gun and ammunition prices
ar SO high that comparatively few
people can buy them for bird-ldlling.
There was time when the household
shotgun was desirable, even necessary
to fill the family larder; now the
kitchen table is supplied best, by the
absence of the means to kill the birds
that save the crops.

RAIN PREVENTS

Bismarck'S First and Second
Teams and Prison Nine
Idle Yesterday

Rain interfered with all scheduled
baseball games in this vicinity yester-
day but the moisture was so badly
needed that no one was particularly
disappointed because the rain pre-
vented the games.
The Bismarck city team was sched-
duled to play Washburn nine at
Washburn. and the city second team
had arranged 4 game with Baldwin
at Baldwin. but both games were can
celled. the grounds being too wet.
The local clubs were notified to this
effect early Sunday morning and did
not make the trips to The two towns.
The game between the state prison
All stars and the Jane town state
hospital team. which was to have been
played on the penitentiary diamond,
was also cancelled.
The Bismarck city team now plans
to open the season next Sunday with
a game on the Bismarck diamond
against the Washburn nine. Every
man who has ever played baseball is
urged to attend the practice Tuesday
evening at G:30, as no definite Lineup
has as yet been decided upon and the
directors Of the team want to try out
every available player.
