Fright Harms Pullets

The tanning and companionship
of the pullets is best accomplished
by the frequent inspection of the
pullets the first few weeks after
they are transferred to the laying
house. Inspection In itself may
mean only time wasted. What
really counts Is how and what is
done. Too often a caretaker goes
bursting right into the laying house
without giving any warning. That
is the first thing to avoid. If the
pullets are to be protected against
needless fright some sort of warn
ing (the same each time) should
always be given before entering the
pen. A light knock on the door or
a thumb door latch can generally
be made to give the desired warn
ing. Then wait a few moments be-
fore opening the door and you will
find all the birds are standing at
attention awaiting and welcoming
your expected entrance without
any thought of fright. Emphasiz-
ing this simple precaution with
such detail may seem needless al
though its Importance is unaues-

CALENDAR TO KEEP
TAB ON EGG YIELD
Complete Record of Produc-
ton Is Object.

Higher quality, which would
heighten the $3O,0O0,000 value OF
Illinois egg crop, will be brought
home to flock owners every month
of the coming year by means of the
new 1888 poultry calendar issued 10y
the extension service of the college
of agriculture, University OF ILL
noiS. r- ~
A different phase Of quality egg
production, such as feeding for egg
quality and care Of eggs during
warm weather, will be put before
flock owners each month by means
of the calendar.
Eggs are being bought on grade
in a number of places in Illinois.
and the information contained In
the calendar should be of help to
farm flock owners in getting the
premium price paid for top grade
eggs, it was pointed out by ID. IL.
Alp, poultry extension specialist,
who designed the calendar.
In addition to being an aid to
quality egg production, the calen-
dar is serviceable device designed
to help flock owners in more ac-
curate record keeping. BY means
Of it the poultry raiser can tell
from day to day, week to week and
month to month just where he
stands. Without some such device
as the calendar, many flock owners
would not keep the records so nee
essary as guides to better methods,
Alp said.
The calendar is so arranged that
under each date there are spaces
to record the number of eggs, the
income and the expense for that
day. Spaces also are provided for
recording the weekly totals as well
as the monthly totals.

Wood Trim in Darker
Shade Than Room Wall

Two schemes are in general use for
the finishing of woodwork, either as
a part of the wall or as part Of
the furniture The former is, in most
cases, preferable. AS a part Of the
wall it should be shade or two dark
insures harmony and good taste, and
gives that restful effect of space so
much to be desired.
In the second method the woodwork
takes the color of the furniture, or,
perhaps, only the doors and perma-
nent furniture are given the furniture
color, while baseboards, cornices and
standing trim" have the wall color.
This method may be successfully used
in large rooms, or in rooms that have
a relatively small amount of wood
work, so that it does not distract the
attention from the sum total of the
room.
Finish for interior woodwork may be
gloss, semigloss or dull. The high
gloss is most easily kept clean, but
does not usually please the eye as
we'll as dull finish. The flat finishes
are much more artistic, and when
properly done are quite as serviceable.
There is now on the market an oil
which produces distinctive effects In
eggshell and satin finishes without la
borious rubbing or even stipling and
which is washable and very durable.

Iron in Many Mineral
Mixtures Does Not Help

"The principal use for iron on
the farm is still in farm machinery
and not in mineral mixtures for
live stock" according to DR.. II. g..
Mitchell, chief in animal nutrition,
University of Illinois. Experiments
at the university indicate that COM
mon forms of iron used in many
complex mineral mixtures are
worthless in general live stock feel
ing, he states. Treatment of nutri-
tional anemia affords the only
known legitimate use for iron salts
in live stock rations at the present
time. The disease. which is rare,
is traceable solely to strict milk
feeding.
Iron oxide, the most commonly
used form, did not appreciably
benefit anemic pigs. even when
given in large doses, although they
responded readily to soluble iron
salts. When rations are fed con-
tanning iron-rich food like tankage,
the feeding of iron in minerals
seemed to cause tendency toward
an unfavorable effect, Mitchell con-
cludes.

Only Beginning Is Made
in Developing SOybeanS


Only q beginning has been made
In developing the full possibilities
of the soybean, that versatile crop
which last year was a two-million-
dollar one for Illinois farmers and
which had a farm value of almost
seven-million dollars in 1890. &C
cording to bulletin, "Genetics and
Breeding in the Improvement Of the
Soybean," issued by the experiment
station of the college of agriculture.
University of Illinois.
C. M. Woodwork, chief in plant
genetics at the University of Illi-
near agricultural experiment sta
ton. is author of the bulletin. The
work is a product Of the state
which leads all others In CONNER
cial soybean production and which
in 1881 produced more than 40 per
cent of the country's total threshed
crop. The 1881 Illinois crop totaled
$685. 900 bushels.
The bulletin brings together the
essential information on soybean
genetics available at the present
time, discusses the principles of
breeding that are applicable to soy
bean Improvement and reviews the
results of Investigations at Illinois
and other institutions with a view
to improving the crop in certain
special features.

Keep Stock Cattle OFF
Grass Early in Season

In the case of stock cattle that
have been carried through the win
ter ON hay feed only. It is always
much better If they can be kept
off grass until there is a good
supply of real food nutrients in its
makeup. Even then It is better If
the animals can be turned on grass
only part time each day and en-.
couraged to eat hay as much as
possible. Just how far to go in
this respect will be influenced to
some extent by the amount and cost
of feed on hand. The man who
has plenty of home grown hay on
the farm will not hurry his cattle
onto grass as much as will the man
who must pay high cash price for
hay and perhaps haul it several
miles to his farm.

Art in Selecting Eggs
for the Matching Season

A warning to poultrymen, urging
greater care In the selection of eggs
for Matching, was recently issued
by A. C. Smith, chief of the poultry
division of the department of agri-
culture, University Of Minnesota. In
this warning Mr.. Smith laid down
certain rules to be observed. which
are timely now because the hatch
ing season Is rapidly approaching.
Mr.. Smiths rules for the selection
of eggs for Matching are summar-
lied as follows:
Eggs weighing less than two
ounces, tinted white, cracked, or
dirty eggs. and eggs which have
been held over one week, should
not be set; II brown eggs are used,
they should match as nearly as
possible In color.
Two reasons are given for these
rules. Those as to weight and col
or look to the production of eggs
such as the market pays most for,
and those as to cracked and dirty
eggs have to do with hatchability.
Mr.. Smith insists, also. that eggs
for Matching must not be chilled
and during freezing weather should
be collected hourly; that for keep
ing eggs, pending setting. tempera-
ture should be below 6S degrees,
and, better still. between 80 and go
degrees.

each are shown on the accompanying
floor plans. It will be noted that the
exterior is similar in way to the
usual Colonial layout of rooms. The
wide entrance hall has the living
room on one side and the dining room
on the other with the stairs to the
second floor running out Of it. This
hall leads back to the bedroom at the
end of which is a lavatory. Back Of
the dining room Is the kitchen with
a breakfast mood adjoining. AS all
Of these rooms are thus connected the
floor plan makes the work Of caring
for the house comparatively easy.
The three bedrooms upstairs are
light and airy and one Of them Is un-
usually large, being 16 feet by 13 feet
6 inches.
A basement is provided for housing
the heating plant and for storage.

Wyandotte Bantam Makes
Bow as Newest VARIETY

The newest thing in chickens is
the Wyandotte bantam, a small
chicken large enough to lay good
sized eggs and for the table, yet
small enough to fit into any town
or city dweller's back yard. What
will interest lot Of folks is that
it requires only about a third of the
food an ordinary sized hen eats.
AS the name implies, the Wyan-
dotte bantam is cross between the
Wyandotte and bantam. 1t was
originated in England. These new
chicks, shown at the twenty-fourth
annual exhibition of the Chicago
Coliseum Poultry Exposition assoc
citation, weigh from two to five and
a half pounds and lay eggs weigh
ing IA ounces to the dozen. Regu-
lar sized hen eggs weigh about "a
ounces per dozen.

Improperly Fitted
Collars on Horses
Harness Too Tight Stops
Normal Breathing.

cultural EngineeTing. UNIVERSITY OK
How long can a horse hold its
breath?
The question isn't as pointless
and useless as it would seem at first
glance. With the Improperly fitted
collars now used on far too many
horses, the question of how long
they can hold their breath deter.
mines how long they can keep pull
ing when they are trying to move
a heavy load, he explained.
This has been demonstrated at
numerous horse and mule pulling
contests which the extension serv-
ice of the agricultural college has
held over the state to determine
what relation size, type, soundness,
condition, training, driving, shOeing
and style and fit Of collars and
harness have to pulling ability of
horses.
When a team which is fitted with
collars which are too tight is pull
ing at a load which is lighter, not
heavier, than its real ability, the
dynamometer is pulled about the
same distance each of the three
trials at the particular load. If a
team which pulls in this manner Is
observed closely, it becomes evil
dent that the collars have hindered
or stopped normal breathing, and
that the horses have pulled as long
as they could hold their breath.
AT some contests competent men
have examined the teams and found
that as many as three out Of four
were equipped with collars which
prevented the horses from pulling
to the best advantage. NAL. w.
The average properly harnessed
team which is attempting to pull a
load even greater than its ability
will pull the dynamometer a short
er distance on each Of its three
trials. This is natural when It Is
considered that great deal of en-
ergy must be expended in pulling
the heavier loads.

Packing in Lard Good
WAY to Keep Sausage

To keep sausage during the cool
months, Miss Alice NJ. Child, home
economist, Minnesota University
farm, suggests two methods. One
method is to make the sausage into
patties and fry until a delicate
brown and thoroughly cooked. Pack
In a sterilized crock and cover well
with hot lard. Beef patties may
also be handled In the same man
ner.
The second method is as follows:
Pack a small crock or two-quart
Tar with raw sausage, pressing meat
down firmly. Bake In a slow oven
1900 degrees F.), two and one-half
hours for jars, or three hours for
crooks. The fat which rises to the
top will form seal when IL cooks
and solidifies. If the fat is not
two inches thick, add little hot
lard. This method sterilizes the
container, cooks the meat and rem
ders some of the lard for sealing.
Miss Child cautions that the sau-
sage should be thoroughly cooked.
Some Interesting uses for sau-
sage, suggested by Miss Child, In
Guide: Baked squash stuffed with
sausage, or green peppers stuffed
with sausage, or cottage pie with
sausage. Cottage pie Is made by
placing the cooked sausage. IN a
baking dish, covering it with
mashed potatoes and browning In
the oven, or until the sausage and
potato are thoroughly heated.

Vapor Heating System
HELPS Cut Fuel Bills

There are three types Of radiator
heating systems In general use in resi-
dence construction today. Hot water,
steam. and vapor.
Water is an ideal medium for con-
veying heat because 1t will supply
temperate, even heat that will not rob
the air Of its natural humidity. The
system Is clean in operation and fiex-
ible, that is, the temperature of the
water may be varied to suit outdoor
conditions.
All other types Of radiator heating
systems utilize steam as the heat con-
veying medium. While the one-pipe
steam system is the cheapest of all ra-
diator heating systems, in recent
years there has been growing tend
ency, especially in new residence con-
struction, toward the use Of the vapor
system.
A vapor heating system Is two
pipe steam heating system with the
air eliminated from the pipes and radi-
ators by means of an air eliminator
In the basement and air traps at every
radiator. 1t is called a vapor system
because 1t utilizes steam. at low pres
sures, at times operating under a par
tial vacuum. For this reason the wa
ter I'm the boiler of yapor system
has very low boiling point-some-
times as low as 175 degrees.
The low boiling point of the water
Is one reason for the economy of fuel
In a vapor system. The other reason
why vapor system is economical is
the fact that with the air eliminated
from the radiators only small
amount of steam pressure is necessary
to force the steam into the radiators.
The fact that the air. once elm
mated from the radiators, is prevent.
ed from re-entering accounts for the
fexibility and responsiveness of the
system. .zz a,>Ez ~..-.-
Unlike the single-pipe steam job, the
vapor system allows easy control of
radiator temperature by means of the
valves. Most yapor systems are in
stalled with valves which may be
opened one-quarter, one-half, three
quarters or full as the occasion de-
mands. The vapor system is quiet in
its operation. There is no noise or
odor from air valves because. the g
Is eliminated from the system in the
basement. =Ez
Any type of steam heating system,
whether it be One-pipe steam sys-
tenn, vapor, or vacuum system, re-
ouires less radiation than hot water
system. Heating contractors ordinar,
,ly figure about 60 per cent more radi'
aticn for a hot water job than for a
steam job.
While this is saving in the install
lation cost, the thoughtful home-o"hef

Intercepting bitches

Where high land discharges con
siderable flood water onto lowland,
it Is often possible to cut off this

the foot Of the hill and carry It
away to some nearby outlet stream.
thus preventing the flooding Of the
lowland. These bitches are usually
made wide and shallow. The exca-
waited material Is all thrown TO the
lower side, thereby increasing the
capacity of the ditch. The bank
and sides of the ditch are then
smoothed off and sown to grass. As
the capacity of such ditch is re-
quired only occasionally and for
short periods. no crops will be
killed and no land is wasted by the
ditch.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1933-02-09

will not overlook the fact that the
larger amount of radiation in hot
water system will tend to give off a
more temperate heat and, since the
radiators are not so hot, the velocity
of the air currents is less than in the
case Of a steam heating system.
With reference to installation costs,
the three types of radiator heating
systems are rated in the following or
der by heating contractors: A one
pipe steam job is the cheapest. A
vapor system costs about % per cent
more than one-pipe steam system
and hot water system costs about 35
per cent more than a one-pipe steam
system.

WELL NOURISHED
HEIFERS FAVORED
Two-Year-Old Is Not Too
Young to Bear Calf.

Many progressive Colorado ranch
men have found that If heller OF
good breeding has enough feed OF
good quality, she can successfully
produce and raise as satisfactory
calf as q two-year-old. says b. w.
Fairbanks, associate professor or
animal husbandry at the Colorado
Agricultural college.
Death losses among such heifers
that are given plenty OF noulsn-
ing feed will not be high. Fair
banks adds, and the heifers Will
be just as big at maturity as they
would have been if they had had
their first calves as three-year-olds.
In other words. a twO-year-old Is
not too young to bear a calf II she
is in sound physical condition as
the result of generous supply OF
wholesome feed, it is emphasized.
Ranchmen who are successful 10
this practice as a rule have reserve
pastures in which there is plenty
of good grass and water and In
which they put their two-year-old
heifers for two or three months be-
fore and after calving. When heif-
ers calve before these pastures are
available, it is necessary, of course,
to supply sufficient feed to meet the
additional requirements of these
young cows that have not yet at
tanned their full growth.
Some ranchmen say they would
never have a heifer calve until she
is three years old, if they could
prevent it, but that it is impractical
or impossible for them to maintain
pastures that. will separate the
yearling heifers from the bulls.
Under such conditions it would be
advisable to see that these young
cows obtain good feed for at least
two months before the calves are
born. and during the sucking pc
viOd
