MAGPIEs SOMETIMES RoGUEs

MAGPIES SOMETIMES ROGUES
Magpies, found over much OF
the northwest quarter of the u. S.
have bad reputation among the
farmers. fruit growers. poultry
keepers, and stockmen. Unlike
many birds with unjustly bad rep
utatlons, the magpie deserves
commentator. At times it be-
comes a serious pest, and in such
cases shooting or poisoning may
be the only remedy. The ymagpie
has no particular aversion to the
bitter taste Of strychnine so for
bats this poison is recommended
by the biological survey of the u.
S. Dept. of Ag.
Magpies have been known to
steal eggs from chicken yards to
carry to their young. They some
times kill chicks. They also show
great partially to cherry or
chards. Perhaps their worst Of
Tense is marrying weak or wound
ed animals, and even occasionally
sound and healthy creatures. The
magpie attack is torturesome. A
magpie has been known to keep
pecking and charging a wound
of an animal. finally resulting in
death of the animal after days of
suffering.
On the other hand, the magpie
is often beneficial. It's diet includes
great number of injurious in
sects, in particular grasshoppers
and caterpillars in the spring and
grasshoppers later in the summer
and autumn. The grain the mag
pie eats is largely waste in the
fields. for the bird prefers insects
both at planting time and during
the harvest season. For these reas-
ons magpies are useful and should
be protected wherever the evil
they do does not overbalance their
good services.
Whenever it is desirable to Grad
icate magpies the task is not diff
ficult. for the maybe is a year.
around resident. and it's elimina-
ton in a neighborhood where it is
a pest does not cause a diminish
ing Of numbers in areas where
conditions make the magpie a good
servant to the farmer.

GIVE COD LIVER OIL TO Lay
- ING PULLETS

An insufficient amount of green
feed and sunshine may cause pull
lets to develop leg weakness dur
inc the winter months. Feeding
cod liver oil to the pullets should
remedy this difficulty in a short
time, says County Agent E. B.
Stookey, of Thurston county.
The cod liver oil should be fresh
and not more than two-day sup
nly should be mixed at one time.
Some feed it in the mash and some
in scratch, mixing the oil with a
small amount of scratch and al
lowing the birds to clean this up
before feeding the balance. This
method makes sure that each bird
gets some of the oil.
A few years ago a western

Washington flock showed serious
leg weakness and investigation
showed that bones were practic-
ally decalcated. In other words the
calcium in the bones had been APP
propriated for egg production to
the detriment of the pullets body.
This condition followed a period
of dull weather, with little sun
shine. Cod liver oil, used at the
rate of one pound to 100 pounds
of mash, soon brought the pullets
back to normal.
If a sheep or lamb dies from an
unknown cause make an immedi-
ate postmortem examination of
the fourth stomach intestines to
look for stomach worms.
Calves and yearlings should
gain from so to Is pounds head
during the winter.

A flock of SO hens in laying con-
dition requires from four to six
quarts of water a day, supplied
preferably in several containers.
One of the introduced parasites
of the codling moth, Ascogaster
Carpocapsa, seems to be well es-
tablished in the vicinity of Yaki-
ma and increasing, according to a
report received recently by the bu-
reau of entomology of the u. S.
dept. of agriculture. During 1927
a block of So unsprayed trees a
bout a mile northwest of the point
of original introduction of this
parasite was kept banded and ex-
amined weekly. From these bands
24,SO0 codling moth worms have
been taken during the season. of
which 1000 or 81 percent, were
parasitized. Last year parasit-
ism of % percent was found. APP
proximately 1900 of those recover
ed recently have been shipped to
British Columbia for introduction
there, and about 1900 more have
been distributed to various places
in the state of Washington. The
rest are being held until spring,
when they will be sent to various
apple growing districts in the Pa
cific northwest.
