Blood-Tested and Culled
Flocks for Best Chicks

The most important question be-
fore the poultryman is where and
what kind of baby chicks to buy,
says c. F. Parrish. poultry extension
specialist at North Carolina State
college. II am convinced. however,
that the safe plan for the poultry
man is to get his new chicks from
hatcheries where the eggs used
come from blood-tested and culled
supply fiocks."
Mr.. Parrish says his reason for
making this recommendation comes
from certain tests Which have been
made. Reports on 1866 chicks pro-
duced by hatcheries where the eggs
were produced by blood-tested birds
show 5,151 chicks died from all
causes during the first four weeks
of life. This is mortality of ga
per cent.
Reports on 1858 chicks produced
from birds that had not been blood
tested show that 2.S75 died from all
causes during the first four weeks
of life. This is mortality of 36.1
per cent.

Keeping the Male Birds

Farm management experts and
agricultural economists have com
monty insisted that well estab'
lished agricultural practice is usu'
ally sound. We like to agree with
them. but are at a loss to know the
advantage of keeping the male birds
in the flock after the regular hatch
ing season is over. And yet this Is
done on a majority of corn belt
farms where male birds are carried
through into spring.
The lowered quality of the eggs
the feed eaten by the birds. the
usual decline in their value between
May or June and late fall. the
trouble they cause bothering the
growing stock if they can get In
with them. are some of the reasons
why people should sell ROSTERS as
soon as the regular Matching season
Is over. "Swat the rooster" cam.
paigns have been held and much
writing has been done each year
urging the adoption of an early sale
program. But it has not been adopt
ed very widely. There must he a
reason. Why is IT? asks writer

Farm Income Of 5000

ing Brought Most Cash.

From Ohio State University Agricultural
College Extension Service-WNU Service
About 1900 Ohio farmers who
keep records of their businesses
made an average farm income of
$6O3 in 1881, according to rural
economists for the agricultural ex-
tension service. -, ~ g..
T These farmers, the economists
say, lived in about Is Ohio counties
and cooperate with the college of
agriculture in keeping their &C.
counts and In having them sum-
married. at a series of 124 meetings
held throughout the state especially
for that purpose. "a ..,; .,--
The average size of the farms was
LAB acres. The sources Of cash in
come were distributed as follows
dairy products, $71S; hogs, $40;
poultry, 1855; sheep, 500; cattle,
steers. ST; crops, s41S, and all
other sources were responsible for
S213. The total cash receipts
amounted to S2,314 for the average
farmer keeping accounts.
The sources of cash expenses
were feed, S2S4; taxes, $21S; labor.
S152; fertilizer, $50; and all other
items, $557.
Information gained from the farm
account records, according to the
economists, are presented in various
ways to groups of farmers, county
agricultural agents, and groups of
vocational agricultural teachers. In
this way the data are used in help
ing hundreds of individual farmers
who do not keep records of their
businesses.

Docllity Is Neglected

The person who has roughed mis-
ewes through from fall until lamb

and that is dncility. for with the
ror!ghing of live stock generally
goes negligence. Ii is very easy
matter to open the yard gates and
with shout turn the sheep In and
ont pell-mell. But if the owner or
herdsman would take about half
en- hour night and morning prior
TO turning out and letting in, to
walk about and examine his flock
carefully. sometimes with a pail of
grain. handing out mouthful to a
few ewes among the flock. he would
soon gain the confidence of his
whole flock and instead Of their
running away from him they are
glad to hear their masters voice.
and will follow him readily into the
yard or out to the field without
crowding and becoming panicky.

FARO
POULTRY
POULTRY BUSINESS "
HARD TO COUNT ON
Producers Should Not Grow
Too Optimistic. !

ey H. II. ALP, Poultry Extension Spe-
! cialist, College Of Agriculture, uni
versity of Illinois.-WNU Service.
Just as some poultrymen were too
pessimistie a year ago, some of
them may be too optimistic now.
Prospective flock owners should not
get over-enthusiastic on the basis
of profitable egg prices during the
last months of 1882.
Poultry and eggs bring in more
than IL per cent of the millions In
Illinois cash farm income, which
explains why good egg prices should
be hailed with optimism. However,
there is little reason why flock own
ers as a group should adopt a gen.
eral expansion program. Undoubt-
eddy, for some an increase in size of
would be justifiable. However, any
marked Increase in the poultry
business should depend largely upon
the ACCESSIBILITY of good market,
other farm activities, the expert
ences of the operator and the rela.
tive Importance of poultry to other
farm enterprises within the area.
Probably the best plan for most
people during the year would be to
follow a normal procedure and do
the best possible. The lin and out
err has seldom made money. What
poultry prices will do during the
coming year is problematical.
Any wild optimism at this time
would be as foolish as the loose
thinking and foolish pessimism of
year ago. At that time egg prices
in February, March, April, May and
June caused many people to become
unwisely discouraged. They decid-
ed to quit their interest in poultry
and drift along. Consequently, when
egg prices reached the profitable
level, only those flock owners who
had maintained their interest were
prepared to take advantage of the
situation.

Tropical Insecticide Is
Found in American Weed

The devils shOestring, common
weed In the eastern half of the
United States, contains rotenone, a
valuable insecticide formerly found
only in tropical plants, a United
States Department of Agriculture
chemist has found.
The discovery is significant for
farmers, both as potential growers
of the plant and as users of the in
secticide to insecticide manufac-
turers; and to importers who carry
on the international trade in rote-
none and other insecticides.
DR.. w. w. Skinner, assistant chief
of the chemical and chronological
research unit of the bureau of chem
istry and soils, first called attention
to the probable insecticidal value of
devils shoestring following his OBJ
servation that bees and other in
|sects fed on nearby plants but
avoided the blooms of this toxic
weed. Doctor Skinner later insti-
gated the research which led to the
recent discovery of this weeds ro-
tenone content by DR.. E. P. Clark
of the bureaus insecticide division.
Although the insecticidal value OF
devils shoestring was demonstrated
about two years ago by Prof. V. A.
Little of the Texas Agricultural col
lege, who found it effective against
various species of insects, its value
as a source of rotenone was not
known until proved by the depart
ment's research.
