Money in Curry Comb

Two implements seldom used In
many dairy barns are the curry comb
and brush. In one stable of 100 cows
could not find a comb. One vet
erinarian frequently prescribes curry
ing in mild sickness TO stimulate cir
culation and aid excretion through
the pores.
Occasionally unhandled heifers are
suspicious and ii may be a trial TO
break them TO milk. A curry comb
gives them confidence in their care
takers.
My neighbor bought a load of range
heifers as breeders. They were some
what wild. but his son took a curry
comb and started among them. In a
month he could go up to any heifer.
Il was all due to the currying.

Proper Care of Cream

The dairy division of the depart
ment of agriculture, University of
Minnesota. mas launched a project on
the care of cream on the farm. The
plan is 70 make a special study Of
cream as delivered to the state ex-
perimental creamery at Albert Lea. A
complete survey of the conditions IN
der which cream is produced by pa
irons delivering cream TO the state
creamery will be made. Then a SINH
lar survey viii be made In a section
where lower grade of cream is pro-
duced These two surveys will per-
NIT comparison of conditions in ter
ritOries where high grade and low
grade cream are the rule Co-opera-
ton of several large creamery enter
prises has been secured
The outcome will be recommends
tons To farmers as to better methods

Flock's Value Depends
on Good Feed and Care

In these days of low profits, poultry
men may take heart from earnings
made by flock owners cooperating
with the agricultural extension division
of the University Of Minnesota, in
keeping flock records. During the nine
months from November, 1890, TO Au-
gust. 1881, only two out of seventy
seven 1ocks failed to return profit
above feed and miscellaneous costs.
No flock failed TO pay for its feed and
leave at least a small balance
The latest records, covering fifty.
three ff0cks for August. show cash re-
ceipts of over $500 in return for a
charge of about S1.4O0 for feeds and
miscellaneous expense.
Miss Cora Cooke. specialist in charge
of the record project, points out that
such returns are dependent upon good
feed and care, but assures flock own
ers that such care has paid during the
past year and may be expected to con-
tinue paying.

Player Gives New Note
to Usual Golf Alibi

There were two things in George
Tweep's life that meant everything
to him-his family and his golf II
is really difficult to understand how
he managed TO find time for both
AT any rate. his wife and five chill

his golf score averaged around 10
George had won the right to rep
resent his club in the state golf
tournament During the period pre-
ceding the final matches. Mrs Tweep
presented him with a sixth child
Another man would either have
withdrawn from all sports, or would
have deserted his family ar such a
time. George, however. was prepared
for the situation. A putting green
had been built on the front lawn OF
his home. Thus he could practice
and be near the newest Tweep at
the same time.
One afternoon an appreciative gal
Iery came over TO watch George do
his putting. From all angles. he
tapped the pail INTO me cup-1lS

Treat for Lice

Poultry losses from lice may be
reduced and egg production increased
by treating the perches with 40 per
cent solution of nicotine sulfate just
before the chickens 20 to roost, says
the Ohio State university. The ma
terial may be painted on the roosts
with a small paint brush. II is best
to repeat the treatment in about ten
days
Sodium fuoride may be used in
stead of the sulfate solution. Dur
ing warm weather many poultry men
prefer TO use this as dip. The dip
is made by adding three-fOurths of an
ounce of the chemically pure product,
or one ounce of the commercial sodi-
UNI fiuoride to each gallon of water.

HANDLE FUTURE BREEDING
MALES CAREFULLY
BY Prof. A. G. Philips

l.
From a poultry breeding and hat
cherry standpoint the male is consid-
cred to be valued at one-halG the
flock. Regardless of the fine physi-
cal condition of the breeding fe-
males during the Matching season,
if the male bird is not normal III
every way, a lot of problems, d1fil-
cult of understanding, are bound to
occur.
Considering that the males to be
used are cockerels, a few definite
details of fall and winter manage
ment are necessary in order to in
sure good physical condition in the
breeding season.
1-Selection should be started now
and continued up to January /.
Keep eulling out the unfit and cow
ardly males. Choose the ones that
express vigor and size to the maxi
mum degree. Those which are sex
ually dominant but small in size
are not the best. The leggy, slow
maturing ones, which do not appear
masculine, are of no breeding value.
2-Keep the cockerels away from
the females, on free range, as late
in the fall as possible. Leghorns
should have stumps or rails, upon
which they can sit out-of-doors, in
order to minimize injury from fight
ing. When housing them in cold
weather, still segregated from the
females, allow plenty of room for
physical comfort. Keep the males as
comfortable as the females.
9-While On free range and finish
ing their growth, hard grain will
dominate the feeding ration. Leg
horns need no mash but the heavier
breeds may have it available. After
cold weather forces the males into
winter quarters, they should be Civ
en- grain, mash, grit and water. To
keep in good breeding condition,
males need more protein than the
hard grains will provide.
A-If poultry is kept in climates
that become very cold in winter,
it may De practical to cut off the
combs close to the skull or dub"
the males in the fall. Nothing is
more uncomfortable or harmful to
proper mating than a frozen comb.
The removal of the comb in the fall
is far less cruel than to allow it to
be frozen in cold winter.
The breeding season is short but
it must be considered well in adj
vance of January /. The male being
an important part of the breeding
flock, he must not only be well
chosen and selected but giySn prop
er feed and care.
