list at the University of Delaware.
These goals, or detectives,
said Gordy, "are only suggestions.
They give us something to shoot
at. You may have some others,
and these may not fit your farm.
But I believe goals are helpful in
any kind of undertaking."
Gordy's six goals are: Keep
death loss in laying flocks down to
IL percent for the year. Hold
broiler mortality to not more than
5 percent. Maintain a feed effic-
iency of pounds or less for each
pound of meat sold. Visit at
least one dressing plant and OBJ
serve one of your own fiocks being
dressed. Visit and observe one OF
more retail stores where chickens
are being displayed. Make a finan.
cial contribution to at least one
poultry promotional project.

High Style Cottons
Not Home-Washable

Those new cottons that look like
wool or rayon are not in the home
washable class.
That warning comes from Miss
Ruth E. Pearce, clothing specialist
of the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. Miss Pearce def
initely recommends that your new
cotton suits or dresses with fancy
weaves, finishes, and heavier
weight, go to your dry cleaner and
not to the wash basin or the base
ment washer.
There are several reasons, says
Miss Pearce, and gives the follow
ing as most important: First the
garment design is usually not
made for home ironing. Often
shoulder pads, padding, buttons,
velveet or other trim takes the
garment out of the home-washable
class. Then, too, the finish might
be changed by home laundry meth
ods. The ironing is the biggest
problem. Miss Pearce feels. The
new cottons are often bulky. IRON
ing needs steam, weight, and 6
professional touch to make the
dress fit and look as it did when il
came from the store.
Depend on a reliable dry clean
er for best results" is Miss
Pearce's final word. "They know
how to handle the new fabrics ant
have the equipment necessary
Cleaners that belong to the Ma
tional Institute of Cleaning anC
Dying, particularly, are kept up tt
date on all new fabrics and finishes

Chicken prices averaged slightly

this was down Z cents from No

Dehorning Reduces
Cattle Injury

'Dairymen who have lost cows
from injuries made by horns know
the value of dehorning," says Del
mar J. Young, dairy specialist of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service.
The best time to dehorn dairy
animals is when they are week
to 10 days old, Young advises. 1t
lis easier, and less painful to the
animal. There are several salts
factory dehorning methods in use.
Probably the most common one is
the caustic potash stick. Liquid
dehorning preparations may also
be used. One of the newest ways
is an electric dehorner, which
many farmers like best.
In using the potash stick, farm
ers must be careful, Young warns
DO not burn the horn too deeply,
or get the caustic on the Calls
face. Caustic will also burn your
hands and fingers. Wrap the stock
in newspaper when being used
Clip the hair at the base of the
horn button, and put a ring Of
grease around it to prevent the
caustic or the liquid preparation:
from running into the calf's face
and eyes. Scrape the horn buttor
until raw, so that the materia
can get to the growing cells in the
horn.
