BREEDING EWES NEED
GRAIN BEFORE LANDING

Special attention to breeding
ewes from now until the lamb crop
arrives is of great Importance to
the sheep raiser, asserts w. E..
Morris, extension animal husband
man, University Farm, st. Paul.
During the last 30 days before
the lambs are born, they make a
third of their growth. In this per-
iod the demands on the ewes body
are heavy, and the right feed will
help her produce stronger lambs
with better fleeces and will make
her flow of milk heavier. Feeding
one and one half pounds of oats
per eve daily is recommended at
this time, particularly If the
roughage is prairie hay or some
other kind of common roughage.
Good alfalfa or other legume hay
is a good winter ration, but even
ewes getting this kind roughage
should have at least pound of
grain per day.
Minerals are required by ewes.
says Morris, and salt should be
kept before them at all times.
Iodized salt helps prevent goiter in
lambs by furnishing the iodine
that is lacking in some parts of
Minnesota.
When the ewes are fed grain,
they will usually get all the phos-

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

I would like to transplant some
2-fOot plum trees In the spring.
Can you tell me a good method of
doing this?
Spring planting is recommended
because there is less danger of
drying out the trees. Fruit trees
need wind protection, but should
not be planted within 40 or so feet
of an established grove. The young
tree may be dug up in the spring
before the buds begin to unfold;
although it is not necessary to
move dirt with the roots, care
should be taken to injure the roots
as little as possible and prevent
them from drying out. Dig large
holes so that the roots will not be
crowded. Set the trees one inch
lower than they originally stood.
Tramp the earth firmly, leaving =
depression at the top for water.
Fertilizer should not be applied in
the hole but can be spread on top
of the ground a few inches away
from the trunk. e. M. Hunt, ex-
tension horticulturist.
Is the Newburgh a good rasp-
berry for Minnesota? Where can
get nursery stock?
No, the Newburgh raspberry is
not hardy in Minnesota, and it Is
not handled by our nurserymen. -
w. G.. Brierley, division of horti-
culture.
Would a Cedar hedge do well on
medium sandy loan soil, or
would it suffer from lack of mois-
ture?
The Cedar hedge should do well
on medium sandy loan, because
the Cedar grows well where there
is not an abundant supply of mois-
ture. In fact, Cedar grows well on
very sandy soil.-L. S. Longley,
Division of Horticulture.

BULLETIN is GUIDEBOOK
FOR CHICK RAISERS

A guidebook that will help put
profit in the records-that's what
Special Bulletin 176 "ABC Of
Chicks" is for the Minnesota
poultryman.
The bulletin, written by Cora
Cooke, extension poultry specialist,
will be a valuable aid to poultry
raisers, particularly as they will
soon be in the Matching season. 1t
lays down seven principles that
are necessary for success in the
farm poultry enterprise: 1. buy
healthy chicks, 2. buy or hatch
your chicks early, 3. raise the
chicks on clean ground away from
last years range and separate
from the old flock, A. feed them a
complete ration, 5. provide them
with clean feed, 6. separate the
pullets from the cockerels as early
as the sex can be distinguished, Z.
house the pullets early, October 1
at the latest.
The bulletin can be obtained free
of charge from a county extension
agent or by writing to the Bulletin
Office, University Farm, st. Paul.

Minnesota Agricultural Extension
Service. Total cost included 81
cents for feed, 20 cents for chicks,
fuel and miscellaneous items, re-
ports Cora Cooke, extension poul-
try specialist. Ninety cents, how
ever, is not the net cost for the
sale of cockerels and eggs produc-
ed before housing time was sub
tracted from the total. Cockerels
were a considerable factor in
lowering the cost Of pullets be-
cause good poultry meat prices
prevailed during the summer Of
1888 and feed prices were low.
Second only to feed in the poul-
tryman's cost record was the NOR
tality rate of chicks-16h per
cent of all chicks died during the
season.
The records indicate that the
earlier the poultryman can dis
pose of his surplus cockerels and
pullets, the better. 1t was true, Of
both light and heavy breeds that
cockerels sold earlier in the season
OIou6hI AhohCy, SNSi "ASAA
those sold later were heavier. The
flock with the highest feed cost
was one in which cockerels were
not sold until August and Septem-
Der. Fifty-two per cent of all feed
given to this flock was fed during
those months. 1t should be OBJ
served, says Miss Cooke, that al
though poultry prices were better
than usual last summer, they fol-
lowed the usual post midsummer
decline.
The records also repudiated the
belief of many poultrymen that
later Matching will save fuel costs,
which amount to only per cent
of the total cost. No significant
difference between fuel costs of
late and early Matched chicks was
revealed by the flock records.

explain his plan to bring about re-
covery through the granting of
pensions to all over go years Of age
and it was quite generally agreed
that he made very good witness.
Certainly, no one questioned his
sincerity. He maintains that under
his plan national income can be
built up to a point where 1t would
be possible to pay even more than
5000 a month. A while back I re.
ceived letter from George Hor-
mel, of the HORNED Packing Com
pany, advocating that something
along this line be done. In three
page letter Mr.. HORNED, who is
chairman of the HORNED Packing
Company, made out a strong case
for the Townsend plan. When a
man who has been as successful
as Mr.. HORNED advocates that
something along the line of the
Townsend plan be enacted as a re-
covery measure the proposal can
not be lightly dismissed.
Beginning next week the Com
mittee will hear those who are OPP
posed to H. r. and H. r. II so
we will have every opportunity to
hear both sides.
Justice Brandeis Retires
Last week Justice Brandeis ten
dered to the President his resig-
nation as Justice of the Supreme
Court and the event recalled the
bitter fight that was made against
his confirmation by the Senate
back in 1916. At that time he was
called a wild radical who would be
a menace to the Republic in that
capacity. Today, Mr.. Brandeis has
the respect of all. He stands for a
liberal philosophy that is in tune
with new times. Taken as whole,
his record as justice, like that of
the late Justice Holmes, rest secur-
ely as friend of the little fellow.
While decidedly pro-New Dealish
he on occasions held importont
New Deal legislation unconstitu-
tional.
A Significant Innovation
On Monday of last week both
Houses adjourned out of respect
to the memory Of Pope Plus XII.
The action taken was not because
of the fact that he was the head of
a great religious body but rather
because of his outstanding service
in behalf of peace and tolerance.
No death in recent years has evok-
ed greater sorrow IT Is universally
hoped that his successor will be
equally ardent in promoting the
welfare of humanity. No other in
dividual in all the world Is in a
better position to promote peace
Pope Plus last years were sadden-
ed by the savage prosecutions
that are being waged in so many
lands. 1t is to be hoped that the
election of the new Pope will mark
the dawn of a better day for all
humanity.

SEEKS TO REDUCE
MACHINERY PRICE

The price of farm machinery
and rope made at the Minnesota
state prison would be held down
below the 1882 prices for the pri-
son products under terms of a bill
sponsored in the Minnesota legis-
lature by Representative William
Schneider of this district.
A bill introduced in the lower
house of the legislature with
Representative Schneider as one
of the authors provides that the
maximum price charged for the
prison machinery during 1889 and
1910 could not exceed 80 per cent

POULTRY
HINTS

In the large poultry markets
eggs are sold under four U. S. grad
ing systems. The highest quality
is designated as u. S. Special or
Fancy Grade. These are new laid
eggs of high quality with upstand-
ing yolks and whites. The next
is U. S. Extra, slight loss in quail
ity with not quite the outstanding
character of the egg white. Third
is U. S. Standard. When opened
the yolk and white flatten out con-
siderably. There is more thin white
and less thick white. Fourth is the
U. s. Trade. The white is thin.
There is very little thick white and
the yolk is quite flat when placed
in a dish.
The quality of an egg depends up
on how it is treated for the first
few hours after it is laid. The best
temperature for storing and keep
ing eggs to maintain quality is
temperature from As to SIS degrees
F. with 70 percent humidity.
Blood spots found on the egg are
due to rupture of blood vessels in
the walls of the oviduct or in the
ovary. 1t does not indicate a dis
eased condition.
To a large extent poultry dis
eases are the result of biological
causes that are transmissible from
one fowl to another. Not only is
there the danger of exposing
healthy birds to these birds but
there is always a danger of dissem-
ination of disease through infective
soil, contaminated water and filthy
quarters. Unbalanced diets, poor
housing conditions and faulty man.

good legume hay, such as alfalfa,
they will usually be getting both
phosphorus and lime. Rations COM
posed largely of common roughage
such as prairie hay, may be de-
ficient in protein as well as phos-
phorus. Supplementing such a
ration with one and one-half
pounds of grain daily or one
fourth of a pound of protein sup
plement like linseed meal will take
care of both mineral and protein
needs.

of the average price charged in
1882. The maximum price for parts
during 1889 and 1910 could not ex-
coed 80 per cent of the 1882 price,
provided the prison does not incur
a loss of more than 10 per cent on
the actual cost Of production.
The bill provides that the price
of rope in 1889 and 1910 could not
exceed the average at which it was
sold in 1881 and 1892, less 2 cent a
pound.
