How long can chicks be safely kept
in battery brOoder?
Broilers may remain until sold
Chicks being raised for laying stock
should not remain longer than three
or four weeks, otherwise they are
likely to develop cannibalism when put
into the brooder house.-Cora Cooke
extension poultry specialist.
What are the merits of soybean flour
as food?
Soybean flour has a relatively high
protein and low carbohydrate content
This characteristic makes it valuable
in reducing" diet. However, in using
the flour, it is possible to substitute
it for only part of the wheat flour con-
tent. 1t is best to have special recipes
for its use. Evelyn Chambers, instruc-
tor, home economics division.
Which is better in a mash mixture,
dried buttermilk or dried skim milk?
Both are excellent and they may be
used neutrality-suspicious. Cooke, eX-
tension poultry specialist.
am building a new set of buildings
on an 80 acre farm and would like your
advice as to whether I should put up
a SilO.
Silage, Of course, is excellent feed
but considerable expense is involved
and many farmers without silos get
along very well by raising more hay.
Per unit of food value, hay is usually
cheaper to raise than silage. With a
large herd of COWS on an 80-acre farm,
I believe drinking cups for the barn
are a better Investments. B. Cleland,
extension farm management specialist
Do you recommend that ground oats
be mixed with the mash for baby
chicks?
Pulverized whole oats are to be pre-
ferred for the first six or eight weeks
After that ordinary ground oats may
be used-Cora Cooke, extension poultry
specialist.
We have canned chicken for years by
hot water processing. 1t always
kept, but as we can spring chickens only
a few months old, the pieces have often
been overlooked. Can We steam the
chicken for shorter period of time?
We do not recommend the water
bath method because of a question of
safety. Fry the chicken as for table
use and after packing in jars or cans
process them at Is pounds pressure
in a pressure cooker for 60 minutes

economics division.

States Proclaim Their Wares

The states of the union have learned not to hide their
lights under any bushels If they've got anything to offer
either industry the tourist trade they want the rest Of
the country to know It. And the best medium they know
Of getting the word around is advertising.
Before 1885, only six states made provisions in their
fiscal budgets for advertising This year. 40 states have
earmarket funds to be used for publicly exong their
merits and 75 per of these states intend to the
newspapers of the nation literally to get their messages
across total of about 900 has been appropriated
Thirteen Of the states have appropriated than $780,
900 each The highest advertising 600
is that of Florida which long became aware of the old
axiom ut pays to advertise"
Many Of the benefits from advertising too intangible
measured But of the states which started adj
vertsng 1897 have already the results burst right
out into indisputable statistics.
Arkansas picked up 80 factories representing
total investment of 50 100000 New Jersey noted $751;
100000 tourist business last and % cent in
crease in the value of the states branded advertising
products North Carolina opened its to 81 new fac
tories during the first eight months of 1899 Wsconsns
gain in tourist trade reflected by the jump in gasoline
$6500000 in 1885 to Ss030000 in 1882 and in
nonresident fishing licenses from 5157 to 1121S5.
The influx of tourists into any state projects its effect
far beyond the hotel keepers restaurant resort
landlords and department stores who usually direct
benecaes The money taken in seeps through the entire
community II creates jobs, makes possible greater
spending filters finally to the smallest business far
removed from direct contact with tourists
States advertising this year should bring greater
dividends with travel abroad cut off, In many cases. the
advertising efforts will help vacationers plan their
itineraries.
