POULTRY
*FN[1O
TURKEYS RAISED
IN CONFINEMENT
Idea That Large Fields Are
Needed Disproved.

The poultry department of the
Pennsylvania State college recently
published some interesting work
on feed consumption and cost of
raising turkeys in complete cOntine-
ment. Apparently the idea that tur-
keys require large fields for range
has been disproved. =. Nj. Funk,
who conducted this work at the
Pennsylvania State college, but who
is now with the poultry department
of the Missouri College of Agricul-
tTre, summarizes the experiment
with turkeys as follows:
l. The average weight Of the
Bronze toms at "a weeks was 10
pounds and the White Holland
toms averaged 16.4 pounds at the
same age.
2. The rate of growth obtained
was greater than that heretofore
reported.
tiOn per bird for the first "a weeks
was 5S.05 pounds and 56.12 pounds
for the Bronze and White Holland
varieties. respectively.
4. The feed cost of producing
pound of gain was 14.7 cents for
the Bronze and 1913 cents for the
White Holland.
.. AS the birds approached ma
turity the feed required to produce
a pound of gain increased from 2.56
to III pounds.
6. The protein intake remained
at a high level until the eighteenth
week, varying around 20 per cent.
From the eighteenth to the twenty
fourth week the level decreased
from 20.2 per cent to 14.S per
cent.
7. More than 90 per cent of all
turkeys started were raised to mar
ket age.
8. The loss from blood and feath-
er dressing for the males was 9.5
per cent for the females, 104 per
cent. The full drawn birds showed
a total shrinkage of 242 and PAT
per cent for the males and females,
respectively. These differences ere
due to size, not to sex.
9. Excellent market birds were
produced in complete confinement.

BRUNETTES WIN! SNEEzE ONCE TO BLONDS' a TIMES

or brunettes who cover themselves
too heavily are more subject to
colds than those who dress mod
erately.
The report of the doctors would
show that head colds are far more
prevalent in foggy countries than
in the lands of sunshine. The fact
that women in foggy countries are
generally blOnds, while farther
south where the sun shines more
the women are Latin in race and
brunette in type, may have some
thing to do with the result.
Bald men are even more immune
to head colds than men with heavy
masses of hair, blond or brunette.
Those who are accustomed to go
ing hatleSS are found to be prac-
tically immune. School boys have
fewer head colds now than school
boys had two decades ago, when
they wore caps, mufflers, ear muffs
and were swathed in wool from
chin TO toes. The doctors believe
head colds can be made obsolete
by moderate dress.

Repair Feed Bins to
Guard Against Pests

Examine the wheat bins carefully
before laying in a large supply of
feed. Sometimes boards become
warped and cracked and it does
not take much of a crack to permit
wheat to trickle through. Make
the bins as proof against rats, mice
and sparrows as possible. The
amount of good grain that these
pests take in a year would help many
a poultryman to take fine vaca-
ton and buy a new radio.
Sometimes a few sheets of gal
vanized iron such ss is used for
metal roofs can be nailed inside of
wooden wheat bins 50 help keep
out the mice. A poultry farm is
the most apt to become infested
with rats and mice if breeding and
hiding places ere provided. There
is more or less feed on the place
at all seasons of the year and feed
bought in large quantities must be
stored for long periods.

making the total for all types of
flying 6S.669,92S, a gross increase
Of 12.5OO.0OO miles.
Six Fatal Accidents.
A study of scheduled air trans
port operations disclosed that the
number of miles flown in relation
to each fatal accident increased al
most threefold, while the mileage
per accident of any kind more than
doubled. In the scheduled opera
tions, only six fatal accidents were
recorded during the period, repre-
senting an average of 2,S17,121
miles each, whereas, in the first half
of 1929. with nine fatal accidents
the mileage was 1922, ,121.
Altogether, "A accidents, fatal.

the mileage ratio 3S4,152, compared
with 150,S42 in the first half of 1929,
when 81 accidents were reported.
In the miscellaneous group of Op-
eratiOns, IA fatal accidents were
listed IN the 1890 period, or one in
every 359,494 miles, as compared
with 11S, or one in every 39S,305

Number of Planes.
Considering the total mileage
flown in both scheduled and mis-
cellaneous operations, the $50 ia
tai accidents in the first half of
this year represented one in every
457 800 miles, while the 127 in the
corresponding period of 1929 ac-
counted for one in every 442, $50
miles. The mileage per accident
for all classes of accidents was 73,-
$50 this year and 72,612 last year.
Another group of figures made
public by Mr.. Young disclosed that
the number of airplanes manufac-
tured in the United States for
civil use totaled, on the basis of
the departments licenses, identifi-
cations and reports, 2.154, while SOC
military aircraft were delivered TO
the army and navy. The records
showed that airplanes were manu-
factured by 296 companies or in
dividuals, 226 of whom built only
one airplane each during that pc
riod. Only three companies built
more than 100 airplanes, six be-
tween 80 and 100, IA between 20

European Physicians Discover That
They Are More Immune
to Head Colds.

PariS.-Gentlemen may prefer
blonds, but brunettes are more i'm
wune to colds in the head.
That is the decision of group
of European doctors who have
been counting the sneezes of blonds
and brunettes in all the climates
of Europe The brunettes won by
about four to one.
The scientists have not been so
rash as to say why, but in paper
which has been submitted to the

mariZe their studies and their de-
cIsion Blonds, they say, have less
than half the resistance to head
colds than have brunettes.
The same scientists decided
again that the quantity of clothing
worn has absolutely nothing to do
with colds. Brunettes generally
wear as little as bonds, and blonds

Winter Laying Flocks
Value Cod Liver Oil

Good laying flocks need cod liver
oil during the dark winter months,
according to w. NJ. Vernon, Iowa
State college The months in
which fowls should have the oil
are from December l to April l.
The rate of feeding the oil
should be one quart of the oil to
100 pounds of mash. The oil is
first mixed with bran or the min
eral mixture and then mixed in the
larger amount of feed.
If hens are kept in the house
during the winter months this
method of feeding Is especially
recommended and a noon mash
NAV help to increase production.

Use of Cockerels

In the general-purpose breeds,
mate one male to every ten to
twelve females; in the egg breeds,
mate one male to every fifteen to
twenty females. Fewer males are
needed the larger the range. More
cocks than cOckerels are necessary
for a given flock. Too many males
are Objectionable.
Some breeders aim to mate cocks
with pullets and cockerels with
hens. Cockerels and pullets may
be mated together if early hatched,
and we'll matured.

Lakes Action Warning
of Vesuvius' Eruption ?

Considerable curiosity has been
aroused in Italy by the phenomenal
behavior of Il lake situated some 20
miles north of Rome at Leprignano,
the lake being swallowed up by the
earth for over two hours and then
rising to its normal level. The vol
canic character of the lake had long
been noticed, and it has been discov-
cred that its mysterious motions tai
lied with certain activity of Vesuvius
over 200 miles to the south. Data is
being collected by which this lake
may be used as a signal of approach
ing Vesuvius eruptions. Preceded by
brief earthquake shock, also ex-
perienced at Vesuvius the waters of
the lake began to fume and boil.
The water sunk into the earth
through volcanic assures, and after
the bottom had been dry for a little
over two hours, the lake refilled with
turbulent hot water and sulphuric
vapors. The waters of the lake
cover some ten acres.
