Timely Questions
And Answers For
Farm Operations

Question: Is II possible TO tell
how long a chicken has been lay
ing by the bleaching process?
Answer: Yes. In yellow skin
ned birds the yellow color is
given 10 the fat by a pigment
called Xanthophyll. This is found
Just beneath the skin and as the
bird lays this pigment disappears
in a fairly regular manner which
indicates approximately the time
the bird has been laying. Bleach
ing Of the vent shows the bird
has laycd two to three eggs.
Where the earlobcs are bleached
the bird has been in lay from two
70 three weeks. Bleached beakS
mean from six to eight weeks of
fairly heavy production and
bleached ShankS show that the
bird has been laying from four to
six months. The pigment returns
after the birds 20 out Of lay in

Question: When should | apply
manure to my garden plot?
Answer: For best results ma
nure should be applied during the
fall and winter and either turned
at the fall blowing or disced in
during early spring. Ii applied at
all during the spring or summer
it should be in a well-rotted con-
dition. On average soils the rate
of application should be ten =
horse wagon loads to the acre.
When applied at this rate one wa
gon load will cover a space APP
proXimately so by 100 feet and
this should be the rule of appli-
cation on home gardens. Some
crops require supplement to the
manure and Il combination of ma
nure and SuperphoSphate is good
for most soils. Apply this mix
ture in the proportion of 10 loads
of manure TO two or three bags
of SuperphOSphate.

seemed a little silent as we

talking and laughing like the
happy child she really was.
My companion ordered caviar
with iced vodka, lobster, and a
salad of mixed fruit and vege-
tables. Jose offered me the

I ordered a half bottle of

leaned back in her chair and
commenced the serious busi-
ness of gratifying her curiosity
by looking about her. Soon I
heard a little gurgling cry. Her

light in her eyes. She counted
