Raise Egg Production
by More Rigid Guiding

CBy H A. SEATON. Extension Poultry
man, Kansas State Agriculture CollegeD
It is possible TO make 81 mole per
bird on focks averaging 100 eggs than
on focks laying 40. The increase in
returns is due to high average egg
production. Culling is one factor re-
sponsible for the higher average.
AS practiced by poultry men Gull ng

and undesirable Matching eggs, chi' ks,
pullets. cocberels. hens and breeding
males. Good poultry men practice
rigid culIing from the egg until the
hen is Improbable as producer. The
greatest emphasis in cullins is cen
tered on the hens not only TO elimi-
nate the non-layers but TO determine
when and how long the remainder
have been laying.
Summer culling is carried out to
eliminate the low producing hen and
fall culling 70 select the desirable
breeder for the coming year.
To carry out a successful culling
program on a lock ii is necessary TO
have a flock that has received reason
ably good care as to feeding housing.
and general management. Feeding
must come first and then be followed
by culling.

RATIONS FAVORED
FOR DAIRY HERD
Cows on Pasture Need Grain
for Best Results.

Even though the milking herd Is on
excellent pasture 1t is necessary TO
feed grain if the best results are to
be obtained, states c. L. Blackman,
extension specialist in animal hus-
bandry at the Ohio State university.
Sometimes, he says, the amount OF
gram need not be as large as when
the cows are in the barn, but very
often the grain allowance should De
the same. The most practical method
of providing a grain ration for dairy
cattle is TO determine the kind OF ra-
ton necessary and supply this to the
entire milking herd.
If certain COW has a tendency 10
become fat and decrease in milk pro-
duction too early, he points out, it IS
well to add a little extra high protein
feed to her ration. This tends to slim
ulate milk production rather than fat
accumulation.
If another cow, milking heavily, has
tendency TO get thin, It is well TO
add extra corn and oats or other hlgn
carbohydrate feeds to her ration. 1t is
not practical to make a separate grain
mixture for each cow the herd.
When alfalfa, sweet clover, soybean
hay, or pasture Is fed with or without
silage, Blackman believes good results
may be obtained by feeding grain
mixture consisting of 800 pounds OF
corn or corn-and-cob meal or hominy
or barley, 200 pounds ground oats. 100
pounds wheat bran, so pounds Of cot
tonseed meal, and 80 pounds Of lin
seed oil meal or soybean meal. An
other good ration contains 200 pounds
of corn or. corn-and-cob neal or hon.
my or barley, 100 pounds Of ground
oats, 100 pounds of wheat bran, 80
pounds of gluten feed. and so pounds
of cottonseed meal or oil meal

RANGE SHELTERS
HELP CHICKENS
Protection Afforded by SIM
pie Covering.

Summer range shelters for pullets
make it possible for the flock to obtain
the advantages Of open range condi-
lions and at the same time offer the
birds protection from summer heat
and rains, says c. NJ Ferguson, exten-
sion specialist in poultry at the Ohio
State university.
In builJin- such a shelter, he points
out. il is best to follow tested plans
In general, the lew gable roof type OF
range shelter hSs proven to be the
most satisfactory. It is close to the
ground. resists t1e wind much better
than the high type, and is of such
shape that it casI be made from light
material.
Plans drawn by the state university
show a shelter 8 feet, 10 inches wide,
IS inches high CT the caves with an
even roof span and a 5-fOOt 1919
inch rafter. A plan of this kind per-
mits use of l irth by three inch mate
rial for the frame and the use Of build
ing board for 70, ding. The closely COM
pressed type OF building boards are
best, he states. They should. how.
ever. De treated with coat Of asphalt
roofing paint.
An S-fOot shelter will accommodate
from 100 to rs birds. The ends.
sides. and floor Of the shelter are con-
structed of wise. This protects the
pullets from tie attacks of skunks
and weasels, asd the wire floor aids
in getting the pullets to roost early.
They prefer getting on the roosts next
TO the roof than to sitting on the wire
floors
By placing skids under the shelter.
II may be moved easily, Ferguson
states. This Eakes it easy to clean
and TO transfer TO new locations on
the rGnge.

Find Cod Liver Oil Not
Needed in Calf Ration

Do calves actually live without vi
tamin D?
To answer this question, Bus Bob
stedt, E. B. Hart, and l. w. Rupel,
of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture, have been conducting expert
ments with growing calves to which
they fed a ration markedly deficient
in vitamin d.
Experimental results published two
years ago tended to show that cod
liver oil when added to normal calf
ration containing clover or alfalfa hay,
adds no value to the ration.
The results now indicate that vita
min D is needed in the normal growth
of calves. The ration used in this
trial, which is presumably free from
vitamin D, consisted of yellow corn,
corn gluten meal, linseed meal, wheat
middlings, calcium flour or calcium
carbonate, and salt, with ground wood
shavings for roughage.
In June, 1929, two calves were start
ed on this ration and two on the "a
ton plus cod liver oil. Those receiv-
ing the cod liver oil grew to splendid
condition and showed no indication of
ricketts,.
The two receiving the ration only,
after six or seven months of feeding,
showed marked disturbances. The
calcium content of the blood was
greatly reduced. Symptoms of rick
cts were apparent and the investiga-
lions concluded that calves need vita
min D, but it is their opinion that the
normal farm ration fed young calves
probably carries a sufficient amount of
vitamin D.

Turkey Producers Are

Turkey producers are able to reach
consumers through roadside markets,
retail routes or by mail in efforts to

Limits of demand are usually the
only factors that hinder the unlin tied

Where silage fills a definite and Inn
porrant place in the feeding system,
as In feeding dairy cattle, or where a
succulent feed is needed to supple
ment pasture In the summer. the use
of the silo may be advisable or neces-
sary.
When one to two weeks old the calf
should be taught to eat grain and hay
and should have free access to salt.
Experiments have shown that corn
and grain are suitable and economical
supplements to ski,nmilk.
Silage Is used as a substitute for
pasturage in winter and as a supple
ment to short pastures In summer.
Clean dry quarters. clean pals,
skimmilk and grain in medium amount,
fresh water. and yard for exercise
make up the requirements for raising
calves successfully.
Wash and scald the separator, cans
and pals, and all utensils immediate
ly after using and keep them dry
while not In use. Sunshine is cheap
and effective drying agency.
-
Whether or not to erect a silo Is an
individual problem which can be prop
erly solved only on the basis Of the
conditions of the individual farm.
BY its convenience silage feeding
offers many advantages The crop
comes off the land early, In time for
faf1-sown crop to follow If desirable.
Deliver the cream frequently; at
least twice a week. Protect the
