guarding contributed largely to the out

some difficult shots. Clara Rich, Eu-
reka's tallest player, was dwarfed by
her opponents but she retaliated by
besting them with her extraordinary
technique. Dot Raber deserves praise
for her work in the quarter in which
she capably replaced Ling Scouten.
Emmy Gael and Edna Peltier did their
share toward upholding the morale of
the team through their lusty cheering.
They were ready on the spur of the

BOHEMIAN, March 16.--How and
when to dispose Of surplus cockerels
frequently spell the difference between
success and failure in the average farm
poultry flock, says Miss II. E. Cush-
man, extension poultry specialist at
Montana State College.
II cockerels are to be marketed at a
profit considerable time must be spent
preparing them for sale. Miss Cushman
recommends that they be separated
from the pullets as soon as sex can be
distinguished The most common way
of taking care Of them after separation
is in a brooder house.
The same housing, heating and feed
ing conditions should be provided for
the brooder-reared cockerels as for the
pullets IF they are to be sold locally
or dressed on the ranch, it is usually
advantageous to place the cockerels in
a fattening crate for week or ten
DAYS before killing to get the proper
finish
A fattening crate is easily construct
ed. The floor should be made of wire,
Stats or half inch hardware cloth. Sides
may be made of Stats or wire. A re-
movable trough in front for feed and
water and tray or shelf to catch drop
pings is all that is needed
A fattening mash composed of any
combination Of grains and small
amount of shorts or low grade flour
should be mixed to the consistency OF
thin batter. Fat-producing feeds such
as corn or barley are important.
Ground oats or oat meal make good
addition. Sour milk, butter milk or
skim milk are the most popular liquids.
Feed them all they will eat in 10 or Is
minutes four times daily. Darken the
crate between feeding periods but pro-
vide plenty of ventilation
