GOING PLACES WITHOUT AUTO

The old gray mare may come
back, and American farmers may
sing, "The old family bus, she amt
what she used to be-" in the topsy-
'turvey world at war. Horses, BIZ
cycles, bus lines, and plain walking
are among possible substitutes for
vanishing automobile in open spaces.
Farm families will do more adj
justing than most population groups.
liz war outlasts the automobile sup
ply, it appears from results of Con-
|sumer Purchase Study, Family Ex-
|penditures for Automobiles and
Other Transportation" by DR.. Day
Monroe and associates of the Bureau
of Home Economics, U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Nine-tenths of transportation
money spent by families of farm
operators in almost every section Of
the country has been going into
automobile travel, the survey shows.
Many farm, and also many village
families, at present have little choice
as to means of local travel. If they
lack an automobile or horses and
carriage, they go on foot. Bus and
streetcar service are not generally
available In these areas for trips to
the shopping center, to church,
school, or homes of friends. New
England villages are found to be an
exception. Many Of these are on pub
lie transportation systems linking
them with nearby town centers.
It's a long-distance comeback
that the gray mare must stage
should she become leading lady Of
the transportation world again, the
survey indicates. Only SO Of farm
families In the Pennsylvania Ohio
farm country included in the survey
were found to be using horse-drawn
|conveyances for family travel. In
other farm sections, this manner Of
getting around was even rarer.
The transportation survey, pub
lished shortly before the United
States entry into the present war,
analyses the means of Transports
ton which representative groups Of
city. village, and farm jewellers have
|customarily been using, presenting
the material according to income
levels. The publication Is available

ments, Washington. D. c., at 80

IT'S PuRE.EE.NA

Forty odd years ago, o young man
with q bent towards scientific livestock
feeding, then rather new-fangled
idea, became interested In the CONNER
cially mixed feed business. His ven-
ture proved successful and II today
commonly referred to rs Purina Mills
The young mans name was VIM. n
Danforth, now Chairman Of the Board
Of that Company.
And In "Purina", Mr.. Danforth gave
10 farming America word that proba-
bly, today Is one Of the most mispro-
nounced In our language. Very likely
no one knows how many ways Purina
q mispronounced, but there ls only one
correct way Of saying It.
The name Purina, which Is part Of
the name given to feeds and supple
ments distributed by our local Check.
erboard dealer comes from the conn
mon word pure. And the correct
pronunciation % "pure-ee-na". That's
the way 1t IL pronounced In the home
offices and at the experimental farm
and In the laboratories Of the Conn
pany. That's the way the man who
coined Il says It.
The most common INSTRUMENTATION
b 'pure-eye-na". Other garbled edi-
tons are ''pufr-ee-na", "pa-roo-na,
and even ''proo-na". But there 10 only
one right way, and that u ''pure-ee-na,
says our local checkerboard feed dealer.

"If possible" Sykes says, "pay partic-
ular attention to the number Of eggs
each bird has produced, her size Of eggs,
hatchability, and Inability Of chicks.
Individuals that have demonstrated
their ability to remain healthy and to
lay continuously are usually valuable
breeders.
"This year, with the increased de-
snand for eggs In prospect. 1t Is abso-
lutely essential to breed from birds OF
known ability" Sykes asserts. EVERY
precaution should be taken to avoid
any possibility Of putting poor layers
into the laying houses"
Eliminate Pullorum Disease
One Of the diseases to be most care
fully avoided In the breeding flock ts
Puliorum. According to Sykes, Pullor-
UNI can be detected by blood testing,
and he suggests that at the time the
breeding flock Is selected, all birds be
tested by one Of the recognized methods
and all reactors removed.
He warns that If as many as five per-
cent Of the birds react, another test
should be made In 80 days, and there
after every 80 days until all reactorS
have been removed.
Ration Very Important
eat the Purina Experimental Farm"
Sykes says, results have shown the inn
portance Of feeding the breeding flock
o ration specially designed for the pro-
duction Of Matching eggs. One fact Ia
basic; you can't add anything to Q
matching egg after 1t Is laid. The breed
er hen has to make her Matching egg
from the feed that she eats, and 1t will
vary In nutritive properties, such as
vitamins and some minerals, depending
On the amounts that are In her ration.
"Since q chick inside an egg before
ft Is Matched feeds on the yolk and
white material Of that egg, 1t is impor-
tant that they contain what Is needed
10 develop strength and vigor at hatch
ing. Otherwise, poor matches and weak
chicks result"
EDrroR's NorE: For breeder flocks.
our local Purina dealer recommends
Breeder Lay Chow to be fed with home
grown grain; or Layena-a complete
ration. He will be happy to explain
how local flock owners use these two
feeds to produce Matching eggs.

PurinA Experimental Farm Dairy

The average dairynan might well

Two months before each COW fresh-
ems, even though she may be giving 80
to 20 pounds Of milk, she Is dried on
abruptly. During those two months
she is fed o ration Of q bulky carbo-
hydrate nature, high In minerals and
vitamins. This helps build the calf she

100 pounds to her own body weight.
Dry and freshening Cow Chow or o

Milk Shortage
Creates New
Feeding Problem
Improved Ration Meets Require
fneats Of EIeavier Feeding.

Two years ago no dairyman would
have believed there would be any dam
ger Of . milk shortage In 1912. But
now the government is asking for more
milk!
The Secretary Of Agriculture has
asked for an increase Of six to eight
percent In the country's milk produc-
ton, and has announced the govern
ment's plan to buy enough butter.
cheese, and other dairy products TO
maintain prices ct q level profitable
to the producers.
Throughout this past summer milk
prices moved sharply upwards, and for
the first time that most dairymen could
remember. June prices were higher than
those In March.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1942-02-06

To take advantage Of these improved
prices, most dairymen are going to try
to get all the milk possible from their
COWS this winter.
According to e. B. Pratt, dairy ar-
thority with Purina Mills, many dairy
men are going to feed heavier this
winter and heavy feeding will add new
feeding problems, with danger Of dis
appointing drops In production unless
proper steps are taken.
The greatest danger from heavy feed
ing, he says. Is that cows may 60 or
feed. This danger can be largely avoid-
ed by improving the palatability Of the
ration.
To enable dairymen to easily improve
the palatability Of their dairy ration.
Purina Mills is this winter offering Q
new supplement to be mixed with home
grown grains which they call Extra
Relish" Cow Chow. II Is claimed that
cows go for the new feed with the gllsto
Of teen-age boy at Thanksgiving din
ner. And properly fed. the new supple
ment helps q COW to produce milk to
the limit Of her ability.
Here are O number OF approved dairy
rations built around this new supple
ment. Others may be obtained from
the local purina dealer.

In the Selection
Of Breeding Birds

Don't be careless In the selection Of

to raise your 1912 pullet cropl
That warning comes from J. .. Sykes,
poultry authority with Purina Mills, for
he says, 1.-THE pullet in your 1912 flock
can be no better than the breeding that
lies back Of her. Your breeding flock
is the best evidence of that breeding"
He suggests the early selection Of
breeding birds. "Birds that have laid
throughout the year until late fall" he
says. 'are almost always the very best
