BIZ FLORENCE LA GANKE.

During the meatless days Nancy
found need for all her ingenuity, all her
inventiveness. To make bland foods like
macaroni, spaghetti and noodles into
havorful foods or to temper the strong
flavor of sea foods so they did not be-
come tiresome was not an easy job.
She discovered that there were many
ways of treating macaroni so that the
finished dish was rich and creamy and
not a mass of dried sticks.

An Illinois farmer wrote the fol-
lowing prayer and sent it to the Illi-
nois State Journal for publication:
"Oh, Lord: l am thankful l am

non-layer in June or July is loss,
regardless of the price of eggs or
the cost of feed. She has been a
poor layer and will never be any
different in months to come.
Poultry meat prices are higher in
1881, in proportion to feed and egg
prices Thanh they were in 1880.
These will become lower as the fall
months approach. 1t is, therefore,
economical to sell unsatisfactory
birds now so that money may be
available to buy egg mash for the
better birds to keep up summer pro-
duction, or to buy mash for growing
pullets. In many flocks it will be
practical to eliminate about 25 per
cent of the birds in June, this figure
increasing to about so per cent by
September or late August.
Many farmers are faced with the
problem of financing the growing of
pullets. With a short chick crop in
1881, there is every indication that
the pullet crop will be short this
fall and that those who have pullets
ready to lay in October, will be able
to profit handsomely from the eggs
which are produced. When the pull
let crop is short, prices of fresh
eggs should be higher. All of this
means that it will pay to push pull
lets with good feeding and manage

ALFALFA POINTERS

What is the best time of day to
cut alfalfa? is a question often
asked. Tests by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture show that the
time of cutting has little effect on
the quality of the hay, provided it
is cured properly in the swath before
being raked. A period of from to
hours in the swath will cure al
falfa sufficiently to be windrowed
when it is cut in the forenoon or
early afternoon. When cut in the
late afternoon, delay raking until
the following morning. Don't cut
the hay until the dew has dried from
the plants but rake it before the
leaves dry enough to shatter much.
If alfalfa hay has over-curcd in the
swath for any reason, leaf shatter-
ing may be decreased materially by
raking early in the morning while
the hay is tough from the dew.
Milford chronicle., 1931-06-19

ment so they are ready to lay in late
September or early October. In Or
der to do this, growing pullets must
not be denied mash or stinted in the
quantity which they are fed.
1t is economical to keep mash and
grain in hoppers in front of the pull
lets through the entire summer so
they may have opportunity to con-
sumo all they desire. 1t may even
pay to feed a wet mash in the late
summer months whenn consumption
may diminish due to the hot weather.
The sale of poor or nOn-laying
hens now will provide money with
which to finance the expense of
growing the pullets. Every State
Experiment Station has available
printed bulletins or circulars de-
scribing the correct way to Gull or
the undesirable birds.
Egg production, good or bad, can
be determined by examining the
physical condition of the birds, and
a little experience in following the
given in the State Expert
ment Station bulletins will enable
any poultry keeper to Gull his birds
with reasonable accuracy.
