How To Evade Poultry Dis
eases Explained by Miss
Cora Cooke
CULLING NEXT LESSON
Meetings Were Held At Sank
Centre, st. Cloud, Brooten
And Richmond

How to dodge cocidiosis, worms
and other pitfalls of chick-rearing
was explained to 40 poultry pro-
ject leaders who attended training
meetings held at Sank Centre, St.
Cloud, Richmond and Brooten last
Tuesday to Friday. Mrs. Botz,
county chairman, visited the Sank
Centre and Brooten meetings.
County home demonstration agent,
Moan Anderson, reported that
among the groups making definite
numberical reports, 90 hen houses
had been insulated, 116 non-waste
feeders have been constructed, 299
families have been helped outside
Of the 461 enrolled and many other
changes have been made in the
farm poultry organizations as a re-
suit Of the poultry project carried
by 80 groups in the county.
Miss Cora Cooke, extension poul-
try specialist, University Farm,
presented the lesson, emphasizing
ways Of making chicks live and
grow to a healthy and productive
maturity. Sanitation was especial
ly emphasized by Miss Cooke in
her discussion of Chick Rearing
Certain diseases are carried over
in the soil from year to year, maxi
ing it dangerous and sometimes i'm
possible to rear chicks on ground
that has been used for even one
year previous" Miss Cooke said. To
avoid trouble, she recommended
portable brooder houses moved to
a clean spot each year. BY fencing
the plot used for the chicks any
one year, the house and yard can
be moved the following year to pro-
vide clean range. In many cases,
Miss Cooke said, the house and
yard will need to be moved fire.
quently each growing season to
furnish a continuous supply Of
green feed. This method, called the
Sanitation Plan, has proven very
successful in controlling cocidiosis
and worms and also helps to control
tuberculosis.
Rations for growing chicks were
given an important place in the
discussion. It was brought out that
well balanced rations may be mixed
at home much cheaper than equally
good commercial rations can be
purchased. The necessity Of feeding
well balanced ration continuous
ly to keep the chicks growing and
to bring the pullets into laying at
the right time in the fall, was also
stressed.
Care of chicks in the brooder
house, regulation of heat, and the
training of chicks to prevent
crowding and to establish desirable
habits were given attention.
inexpensive, homemade feeders
costing a few cents and instruc-
tions for making them were given
the leaders. Leaders were enthus-
iastic about this as an easv and In
expensive means Of providing all
Of the feeding space needed. Miss
Cooke emphasized the importance
Of giving every chick chance at
the feed, stating that with arrlo
feeding space even the weak chicks
have a chance to GROW norroal'v.

Ice, too, has hit new low this
winter. With temperatures lowering
well below zero the ice cap on Sank
Lake sunk to depth that perhaps
has set a record-certainly for
some years. Reports of those cut
ting ice for consumption next sum-
mer show that the ice Is "a inches
thick and difficulty is being found
in the handling of the huge
chunks. Tuesday with an icy gale
blowing the fine snow into a YER
liable blizzard work had to be tenn
porarily stopped on ice cutting.
Crews have been working much
longer already than ordinarily, and
are handicapped seriously by the

Take sos Calls
In One Hour
Telephone Exchange Does Land
Office Business During
Blizzard Tuesday

Even with the cold experienced
in the community this winter there
Is one business that does an in
creased turnover and thrives in
such conditions. With temperatures
Sinking scarcely within throwing
distance of the zero mark, the OPP
orators at the local Telephone ex-
change are busy as bees, according
to chief operator, Miss Kriesel.
Tuesday of this week during the
hour between 10 and II in the
morning sos local calls were hand
led through the local board. This
is inclusive of local and farm line
conversations. One operator, who
handled 300 Of the number, oper-
ated at a rate Of five calls per min
ute, while the other operator hand
ling about 200 of these calls was
also in charge Of long distance dur
ing that time. The total average
for the hour with both operators
was more than eight calls during
each minute. This number, sos, re-
presents only about twenty per cent
of the total days local calls, hav-
ing 1910 calls for the entire day
This is not the heaviest load the
operators have carried, but it gives
an idea of the work they do. Each
operator is expected to handle be-
tween 100 and 200 calls each hour
Of the day. One occasion surpassed
any such number mentioned above
the morning that the twins were
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Tom.
Trouble with the lines is also a
matter of concern in this weather

called on the toll lead to Glenwood.
Going by car as far as Westport,
he was forced by the drifted snow

rases and chieftains refused even to
enter the capital, considering it a

QUIZ OF A. 7. & 7.
OFFICIALS PUSHED
Counsel Says F. C. c. Has
Violated Enabling
Resolution.

The Federal Communications Com
mission resumed its questioning of
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co. officials today after the firms
counsel said the inquiry into the
utility violated the congressional
resolution authorizing it.
Counsel G.. F. Hurd declared yes
terday the commission was gathering
grossly inaccurate, misleading and
unfair" information in its investiga-
tion of the giant corporation.
He made his assertion after John H.
Buckley, F. c. c. accountant, had
testified the company had realized
enormous profits from renting tele-
phone instruments between 1902 and
1927 and then had disposed of this
"outmoded" equipment to operating
companies at an additional profit of
$140OO,0O0.
Excessive Profits Denied.
Late in the day Bickley's testimony
was disputed by Walter S. Clifford,
A. T. g. T. president, who said the
company had not realized any flnan-
cial advantages from sale of the in
strumentS and said that he could not
"agree" with any contention that ex-
cessive profits had been made from
telephone rentals.
The sale of the instruments, he
testified, resulted in $l7000000 an
nual savings to the operating COM
pany, which was sufficient to pay the
entire purchase price of the equip
ment over a period of two and one
half years.
Denied permission to make state
ment at the morning hearing. Hurd
denounced the proceedings to a group
of newSmen in the corridor outside
After the noon recess, however, Com
missioner Paul A. Walker, directing
the investigation, authorized him to
speak.
Data Held Fragmentary.
Hurd then reiterated his statement
the commission was gathering "frag-
mentary" information in violation OF
congressional resolution directing it
to obtain comprehensive and ac-
curate" data.
He branded exhibits introduced by
Buckley as grossly inadequate and in
accurate" and ask the commission tc
withdraw previous ruling preventing
the company from cross-examining
witnesses or introducing testimony oi
its own.
You may be assured" said Walker
"that this commission wants the fact;
and all the facts. The com.
mission has these matters under ad-
visement."
Walker then ordered the hearing tt

Cooking a Pot-ROast
A pot-roaSt requires long, slow
cooking, Inez S. Wilson, home
economist points out. 1t is dredged
with flour, broWned in hot LARD, a
small amount of liquid added, COW
cred tightly and allowed to cook
slowly until done. More liquid, a
little at time, is ADDED when nee
essary, thus allowing the meat to
brown each time the liquid cooks
away.
Variety in pot-roasts is gained by
using different seasonings and flaw
ors. This old-fashioned sauerbraten
is still widespread favorite.
Sauerbraten

heel of round
onion, sliced
bay leaves
l tsp. peppercorns
Vinegar and water
a cup sugar
Salt and pepper
Sprinkle the meat with salt ana
pepper and rub thoroughly Place

peppercorns in a deep earthen dish.
Heat diluted vinegar equal parts
water and vinegar if the vinegar
is very strong). Add sugar and
pour over meat. Let stand in
cool place six to eight days. Then
remove from vinegar solution and
cook as a pot roast, using the spiced
vinegar as liquid. 1t should be
cooked slowly for about three hours,
In case it is inconvenient to let
the meat stand in vinegar solution,
a delicious spiced pot roast may be
made by first browning the meat
and then cooking it in the spiced
vinegar solution.

Even in the realm of gaGgets there
are countless new devices which aid
her in her work. Many small tools
from special knives for preparing
raw vegetables to bean stringerS,
ice crushers, small electrically driv-

There is a marvellous selection OBJ

ditional feature is that they are
not only supremely useful but at
tractive in color and design as well.
Anyone who has ever jabbed and
punched a tin can with the old fash

hand on the jagged edges will be
overjoyed by nice new modern

peas? There are machines to do this
for one nowadays and many others
for performing those distasteful
tasks which take time but nothing
else.
In addition to the gadgets there
are endless innovations in the ma
chine line: dishwashers, washers,

practically everything in the clean
