All things this world may send.

Til God took you away.
But | never will forget you,
And Wen meet in heaven, l pray.

nave seen too many people add litter
in the winter which is full of snow.
And then they wonder why they
have wet house.
After the birds have been housed
and the litter broken up into small
pieces, it is time to add bit more.
Just little added at time does the
trick. And with each bit added,
STIR. Stir between times also. This
is the thing that makes built-up
litter. At all times it should be light
and fluffy. This permits the drop
pings to sift through and keep the
place dry and sweet.
OF course if you are going to try
built-up litter, you must be sure that
the house is well ventilated and well
insulated. Otherwise the litter will
cake over and become more of a hog
wallow than bui1t-up litter.
I'm not going to suggest anything
else right now. Perhaps I've already
laid out more jobs than busy
farmer feels that he wants to do
right in the middle of a crop season.
But believe me, if you will only take
care Of the pul1ets and get their
house ready for them early, you will
be more than renaid with eggs at
the right time when prices are still
high.

Sailing Livestock

ONE OF THE most effective
methods Of managing range live
stock to ensure proper range use
and greatest gains is proper sailing.
It is known that livestock are more
contented and more easily handled,
are healthier and freer from dis
ease, and make better gains and
develop better with sufficient salt.
says a recent report from the Do
minion Range Experiment station,
Manyberries, Alberta.
The number of salt grounds. de-
pend upon the topography and the
kind of stock. Animals cannot 20
great distances for salt or water if
satisfactory use is made of the range.
# the forage is uniform and the
topography level or rolling, salt
grounds two miles apart may be
entirely satisfactory More frequent
~, one mile apart is most salts
factory and even closer if the range
is particularly rough.
Often, salt grounds are located ac-
cording to convenience rather than
according to a well4developed plan.
This results in salt being placed in
readily accessible places where live
stock naturally congregate and
serves to increase grazing concen-
tration. It is commonly believed
that animals desire water after salt
and that, by locating salt near water,
excessive travel is prevented. OBJ
servations have shown that this is
not necessarily true and that. as
frequently as otherwise, animals
take salt and leave without drink
ing. Thus, in locating salt grounds.
areas in proximity to water and
along drainages should be avoided,
since the use on these areas will be
complete without the added atten-
ton of salt.
No exact and generally applicable
rules can be made for the location
of salt grounds, but certain prin-
ciples can be followed. Locate salt
grounds on ridges, knobs, benches
and gentle slopes. These areas
should be accessible and should pro-
vide sufficiently level area for the
stock to move around the salt
ground without difficulty.

Sherman Proposal Has Appeal

requiring a month or so at the
most.
In respect to the Navy's readi-
mess. the testimony Of Admiral
Bradford contrasted with that
given earlier in the week by Gen.
Hoyt s. Vandenberg, the Air Force
Chief of Staff.
Gen. vandenberg said the coun-
TRY has "a shoestring Air Force" in
view Of global commitments. For
this reason, he said he opposed the
Macarthur demand for bombing
lof enemy bases since 1t would re-
duce the effectiveness Of the Air
Force in carrying out its mission
in the event of the outbreak of a
major war in another part OF the
world-a war presumably with
Russia.
The Air Force chief also esti-
mated it would require about
double the country's present stra-
tegic air strength to carry out the
Macarthur program while leaving
Sufficient planes for other Ali
Force assignments.
He urged Congress to do every
thing possible to build up the Ali
/ Force to its 95-group goal and
Isoberly warned that even this Is
"the interim program only" The
lAir Force received about $12 bill
llion In the current fiscal year. and
lis scheduled to get approximately
ii$l9 billion in the fiscal period
starting July /.
