a new vaccine for chicken pox, de-
veloped in the last two years by
the Western Washington Expert
ment Station at Puyallup. DR.. c..
E. Sawyer, who has been largely
responsible for the development of
this vaccine is cooperating with
poultrymen of the state in q wide
test of the vaccine this year. These
flocks vaccinated in this commun-
ity were those of Edwin Albrecht,
B. Kempe, W.. Ranlett and Frank
White. Three more flocks will be
vaccinated later, those of George
Anderson, H. C. Powell and Ray
mond Schneider, making total
of a little more than 2100 pullets
to be vaccinated.
This vaccine is an active virus
and actually gives the birds mild
form of chicken pox at about four
months of age and in this way the
birds are over the disease before
winter sets in. and thus are not
slowed up on egg production dur
ing the heavy egg production Pc
Rod. This voccine was tried out
on over 1000 birds last year with
very good results. We understand
that the flocks around Kennewick
are the only flocks east of the
mountains on which this vaccine
is being tried out this year. Re-
suits Of this vaccination will be
published later.

look over the situation. While Mr..
Nicholaus is centrally located in
the Richland community, yet there
is quite stretch of sage brush
land near him. There was no ques-
ton but what he was having con-
siderable damage done and the
next day we prepared the strych-
nine salt bait as recommended by
Mr.. Couch and also the strychnine
saccharine syrup solution bait. Mr..
Nicholaus and the county agent
prepared teh alfalfa bats, using
the strychnine saccharine and sy-
rup on the alfalfa and distributed
this over about three acres of land.
Inside of the line of distribution
of the alfalfa bats, Ia blocks were
distributed and staked II h e
blocks containing the mixture. The
field was visited the next afternoon
by the county agent and Mr.. Mich.
CLAUS and he wondered whether the
bats had secured results. He re-
ported that near one of the blocks
and where a few bats of alfalfa
had been placed. he got Is rabbits.
The county agent then went over
pretty much of the territory COW
cred by the bats and counted up
wards of 100 rabbits that had been
killed. Just ocheck the results,
selected circle of 100 foot radius
and the rabbits from this picked
up and counted. There was total
of Al rabbits in this area. On
another area where the cheat and
sage brush had been burned off,
we stopped in one place and count

as to the efficiency of these bats.
And these formulate are recon-
mended to anyone having trouble
with rabbits. These bats were dis
tributed on land adjoining growing
farm crops, yet they were very
effective. Lumber for the blocks
was donated by the John Dover
Lumber Go. Anyone wishing the
formulate may secure them from
the county agent.

MUCH ROOM FOR IMPROVE.
MENT IN HAY HARVESTING
METHODS

Some farmers in the United
States store an acre of hay with
TOUR hours Of labor. Other farm
ers use more than eight hours Of
labor or the same job. Such vari-
atoms of efficiency in hay pro-
duction Indicate; says the Uuited
States department of Agriculture.
that much room exists for i'm.
phovement. An example is the
fact that many farmers are still
using small one horse rakes
which are economical only on
small acreages. Farmers should,
if growing 40 or more acres of
hay, use 1O-foot or 12-foot rakes.
Investigations made by the de-
parment have shown that the use
of side-delivery rake and hay
loader commonly effects a saving
of about one and one-half hours
per acre of man labor and half
hour per acre Of horse labor. as
compared with the cost in human
and animal labor when the dump
rake and hand loading from the
windrows are employed. His saw
ing, with wages at 40 Gems an hour
represents saving of so cents
per acre in man labor alone. That
would amount on 80 acres Of hay
to more than $18, or the interest
on approximately 1915 at 5 per
cent, q sum more than sufficient
to pay the interest and deprecia-
tion on the necessary investment
in side-delivery rake and hay
loader.
When a loader is used q hay
making crew can handle consid-
erably more hay in an easier man
ner than they can do so by hand.
Sings will unload hay In about
two-thirds the time required by
the use Of the double harpoon or
the grapple fork. It saves labor
to take two or more wagons to the
fields. especially when the haul is
long. It is economical to use the
large-sized mowers on farms
where q full acreage Is to be cut.
In the East the 5-fopt mower,
which will cut 10 acres IN 10
hours, is the size most commonly
used. But q 6-foot mower will cut
12 acres in 10 hours and . 7-foot
mower will cut IA. Usually the adj
ditional power required Tor the
larger implement is available on
farms where the acreage to pc
cut justifies the use Of such mach
ines.
