Health and Vigor Are
Important in Culling

At least once during the summer or
early fall the poultry flock should be
culled to get rid of the birds that
are not paying for their keep. Health
and vigor are Of first Importance in
culling poultry. Hens in good laying
condition have bright red combs and
wattles. Good layers have combs that
are very waxy in texture. In yellow
shanked breeds, the beak and shanks
of the heavy layers are. ordinarily
pale yellow or white. The public
bones of a good layer are thin and
flexible and when the hen Is in lay.
ing condition they are wide apart.
The skin of a good layer is soft, Pill
able, and Of good texture and the
back is wide and long. Another inn
portant point is the time of melting.
Poor layers usually mott earlier than
good ones. Heavy layers generally
do not begin to molt before Septem-
Der or October. Culling not only inn
proves the breeding quality of the
flock, but if done early enough will
save feeding costs and spread the
marketing Of surplus hens over a
longer period than if the CHILLED hens
are all marketed late in the fall.

Dehorning Cattle Is
Favored for Feeders
Bruises Detract Greatly From
Appearance of Carcass.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
"Feeder cattle having horns do not
feed out so well as dehorned CATTLE"
say w. H. Black and v. v. Parr of
the bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture, in
Farmers Bulletin 1600-F, Dehorning,
Castrating, Branding and Making Beet
Cattle. just published for free dis
tribution by the department. "Badly
bruised carcasses," they 60 on to
say, "are usually found in shipments
OF horned cattle. Bruises detract
greatly from the appearance of the
carcasses, thus lowering their sale
value. Besides the damage done to
meat, the hide is frequently dam
aged. Dehorned cattle usually bring
from 25 to IS cents hundredweight
more than horned cattle Of similar
quality and condition"
The authors also make recon-
mendations as to castratiOn, spaying,
branding and earmarking of beef cat
tie. The bulletin also includes SIM
pie plans for construction of dehorn-
ing and branding chutes, including a
chute with a movable side, known as
a squeeze" for holding the animal
securely.
On the range it Is common to brand
calves while still small enough to be
handled by ropes, but the authors sug-
gest the advisability of constructing
corrals with a chute adapted for
working with yearling or older cattle,
and a smaller chute for handling
calves. Under such an arrangement
it is possible to dehorn, castrate or
spay, and brand the animals at
single operation.
For dehorning, the authors mention
the application Of caustic to stop the
growth of the horns on calves, and
saws and dehorning clippers for more
mature cattle. They mention precau-
tions for preventing infestation of,
wounds, by screw worm flies.

Increased Production
With Egg Prices High

Poultrymen, by careful attention to
the breeding and management of
their laying flocks, have effected a
definite change in the egg market.
According to 81. L. Shrader of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, this is evident as to both
seasonal and annual production.
"The market receipts of fresh laid
eggs during the late summer and fall
months have been increasing the last
few years." he comments. "This
means that the pullets are being
Matched and are maturing earlier, but
it also denotes improved efficiency,
because the birds are laying more
eggs when prices are highest"
From the standpoint of the con-
sumner this tendency is of definite
value. ALREADY we have noticed"
Mr.. Shrader says, that the increased
production in the season when eggs
were formerly scarce has prevented
prices from soaring to extremely
high levels"

Agricultural Squibs

The woodland enhances the value Of
the entire farm property.
Potato aphids may be controlled
in the field by the use of contact
sprays.
OF course it costs more per acre to
get high yields, but then it costs less
per bushel or pound.
The white grub, differing offspring
of the ordinary, laundering June bug,
Is due again next year.
The Japanese barberry does not
carry rust, hence it Is perfectly safe
to plant for shrubbery clumps.
Sodium chlorate has proved to be
successful method for the eradication
of wild morning glory and Canada
thistle.
Practically all of the coal-tar prep

High protein wheat usually COM
mands q premium. The premium may
be secured by farmers under condi-
ton they know the protein content
of their wheat.
Stop smut losses in wheat by treat
ing the seed with copper carbonate
dust. The poison chemical disinfects
the seed by killing the smut spores
that may be cllnging to it.
The wheat weevil will be one Of
the farm problems for next winter,
for there are thousands of bushels
Of wheat going into the bins on the
farm. The season has been such that
the common weevils have had an OPP
portunity to lay their eggs on the
grain while standing In the fields.

Spelling of Silage in
Winter Can Be Lessened

Spelling of silage during the win
ter can be lessened by treating the
inner walls of the silo with a solu-
ton which keeps out air. The mix
ture consists of one pound salt, two
tablespoonful of alum, one teaspoon
full of Iye and four gallons of water,
plus enough cement to make it the
consistency of paste.
In some cases, the inside Of the
silo doors are lined with paper or
the cracks filed with clay to keep
out air.
Another scheme is to sow oats or
cane at the top of the silo. These
grains sprout quickly in the warm
silage and the matted growth serves
as an insulator excluding the air.

Supers Should Be Added
Often as Bees Require

Supers should be added just as
often as the bees require this extra
storage space for honey. Usually the
beekeepers find 1t necessary to add
the first super during the latter part
of June. The second super is usually
added along about the end of the
first week in July. From then on till
the end of the season the supers
should be added rather frequently. If
1t is a poor season for honey pro-
duction, then it may not be necessary
to add any supers.

Puzzling the courts in France is an
odd situation where a man is accused
Of hoaxing experts and public by
burying so-called prehistoric relics fHy

for the fraud so it is probable the
hoaxer will be arraigned under
charge of Outrage to the police" as
they were guarding the field where the
