intended it to be but a sudden shower

Weight Important Point
in Breeding of Chicks

An advantage not often mentioned
that early Matched chicks have over
late ones of the American and English
breeds, is the greater weight. This is
no little consideration when the hens
are sold after years lay with a cut
of % to 40 per cent in price for hens
under four and one-half pounds.
The Massachusetts experiment sta
ton has compiled records covering six
years work with Rhode Island Reds.
Each year, the flock was made up of
two hatches eight weeks apart, one
in March and one in May. The chicks
were out of the same matings, fed and
cared for alike as nearly as possible.
At twenty-one weeks of age, the av-
erage weight of the March pullets was
exactly five pounds; the best year,
they weighed SIS pounds and the poor
est year 4.S3 pounds. The May pull
let's averaged 4.27 pounds for the six
years, 4.42 pounds being the best and
40 pounds the poorest. The compar
alive weights remain about the same
throughout life.-Wallace's Farmer.

Shelter for Dairy Cow
of Utmost Importance

The dairy COW, because of the fact
that she puts the products from her
feed into the milk pail instead of in
the form of flesh and fat on her body,
needs better shelter than the fatten-
ing stock. 1t is not necessary for this
shelter to be expensive, but it should
be adequate to the needs of the eli
mate, and should insure the COW be-
ing warm and dry, and having plenty
of light, and pure air. The best win
ter temperature for dairy barns is be-
tween so and 60 degrees. If the tenn
perature goes much above or below
this there will be a decrease in the
yield of milk.
There is perhaps no consideration
that needs greater attention, espe-
cially in the Northwest, than provision
of proper ventilation, particularly of
dairy barns. There are very few barns
that come up to the standard specifica-
lions as to light and ventilation. The
dairy barn, in order to produce the
best results, should provide cubic
foot of air space for each pound of
weight of the cows confined to the
barn, and good ventilation should in
sure this air being kept pure without
forming drafts. 1t is as injurious to
COW to breathe impure air, as it is
for human beings.-Dakota Farmer.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1932-08-12
Old Separators

An Ohio dairyman writes that he
can see no object in getting up so
early to milk and deliver milk to the
station; that he is going to "get out
the old separator" and try selling
cream for a while. II may not make
any more selling cream, but I'll not
have to get up quite so early" he de-
clares.
Quite a few whole-milk dairymen
are getting out the old separator"
There's disturbing thought. Not that
they shouldn't separate the milk and
sell cream, for that's a splendid thing
to do. The disturbing thought is that
some of these separators may go into
service badly in need of repairs and
adjustments.
A separator out of adjustment can
cause tremendous loss. A faulty sep
arator leaves fat in the skim milk.
The loss should not get above two
hundredths of one per cent. The COW
tester in Finney Association, Kan,
says two of twelve separators tested
were losing over five-hundredths Of
one per cent. Fl. r. Searles reports a
loss Of 16-hundredths of one per cent
"a loss amounting to 16 pounds Of
fat in every 10000 pounds of milk

What Better Proof Than

benefit to mankind.
But why keep on with these

is as evident on its face as Smiths
marriage.
"'You say Smith is married, but
what proof have you? an employer
asked.
"'Well, SIR said an employee, I
saw Smith pushing baby-cOach last
Sunday morning, and there was a
young woman on one side of him
and an old woman on the other, and
as l passed, the young woman said.

NO REVENUE FROM
MALES IN FLOCK
Wise Poultryman Will Get
Rid of BOOSTERS.

The only object of keeping male
birds is to get eggs for Matching and
that season Is past. The farmer
should remember that the rooster is
consuming feed which neutralizes the
profits from laying hen. A still more
important reason for disposing of the
males is the production of infertile
eggs We hear great deal about egg
quality. The best way to improve egg
quality is to produce infertile eggs.
Fertile eggs do not keep well. Five
per cent of all eggs marketed are a
total loss because of chick develop
ment. Besides large proportion of
rot is due directly to chick develop
ment being retarded. The object of a
hen in producing eggs is to reproduce
herself. If males are present and the
egg is fortified, the embryo starts to
develop within the body of the hen.
When proper temperature is again
maintained this development contin-
ues There will be slow growth at
any temperature above 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. A temperature of 81 to
80 degrees Fahrenheit for three days
will produce as great development
as one day at temperature of 103.
A temperature of 104 to ITO for one
day will produce an embryo as far
developed as three days at temper
ature of 103.
Production Of infertile eggs is espe-
cially advantageous during the sum-
mer. Such eggs do not develop germs,
stand shipment well, withstand heat,
are easily preserved, slow to decay and
cost less. The hen will lay as well or
better with no males present in the
flock. An infertile egg can thus be
produced and, if unwashed, may keep
indefinitely. A large percentage will
dry up before they will rot.-Missouri
Farmer.

BEST CROPS GROWN
ON FERTILE SOIL
Dairy Farmer in Position to
Enrich Fields.

Dairy farming improves soils in'
stead of depicting them. On every
well-handled dairy farm large quanti-
ties of legume hays, wheat bran, cot
tonseed meal and other such feeds are
converted into milk through cows, yet
there is a considerable residue left in
the form of manure which will help to
build up the soil.
Careful calculation of the plant food
value of these feeds on basis of ten
cents a pound for nitrogen and five
cents a pound each for phosphoric
acid and potash, shows that alfalfa
hay has a plant food value of Sc
ton; soybean hay, S7.S5; clover hay,
$500; wheat bran, 5000; corn meal.
$4.69 and cottonseed meal, 1882.
Only about 20 per cent of this plant
food value is lost in the feeding proc
ess, which means that there is grad
ual accumulation of plant food on
every well-managed dairy farm. Fur
ther evidence is shown by the good
crops usually produced on such a
farm.
Not only does dairy farming help
to build up the soil, but the cropping
system followed prevents much wash
ing.
On account Of the organic matter
and countless bacteria in cow manure,
it has a greater farm value than a
chemical analysis would show. The
organic matter improved the physical
condition of the land and increases
its water-holding capacity. This inn
proved condition also makes favor
able situation for the bacteria to lib
crate plant food in the soil particles.
do not believe any system of farm
ing can be permanently profitable I'M
less soil fertility is maintained. 1t
makes no difference what the cash re-
turn may be from crop, because If
the wealth is secured at the expense
of the soil, the farmer will lose in the
end.
