Pits or Boards 2?

@. am planning to build a new
poultry house. Which should build,
dropping pits or boards? I have
heard considerable discussion about
the merits of each and do not know
the answer. - Mrs. C.. D., Fergus
County.
A. There is no one answer. 1t is
merely the preference of the flock
owner. With large commercial flocks,
much labor is saved when pits need to
be cleaned only once or twice year.
At cleaning time truck can be driven
directly into the house and the drop
ping shoveled into the truck. On the
other hand when a woman is taking
entire care of flock, she may find
it lot easier to have dropping boards.
The cleaning job would be light at all
times but she would be faced with the
job of daily cleaning.
Some argue that floor space is cut
with pits, while those preferring them
reply that the birds use the space on
top of the pits. In either case, the
pits or boards should be screened with
tight meshed wire so that the birds
can not get down into the droppings,
get their feet dirty and soil the eggs.
Also, especially with the pits, it is
necessary to add some mineral which
will absorb ammonia fumes. Before
deciding what to add, your county

Preparing Eggs
For Freezing

EGGS ARE plentiful now. Protect
their quality by cooling them promptly.
When laid, eggs are about los degrees
F. To hold quality for a short period,
cool to IS to as degrees. Eggs at room
temperature lose quality quickly.
If you have plenty of eggs now, you
may want to freeze some for months
when egg production falls off and prices
are higher. Miss Emma J. Thiessen of
the University of Wyoming Food Re-
search Laboratory has worked out a
few pointers and precautions for freez-
ing eggs.
Choose clean eggs; if dirty, wash off
and allow to dry. Cool to 80 degrees F.
before breaking. Be particular about
clean utensils. Separate whites from
yolks for best results. Use promptly aft
er thawing to avoid loss of quality.
Package in small amounts that you
can use all at once and label it with
the number of eggs contained. For ex-
ample, if you make four-egg cake Oft
en-, put four eggs in package. Package
yolks or whites in a plastic or heavily
waxed container. Lids should be tight.
When measuring thawed eggs, 1 table
spoon of yolk equals one fresh egg yolk
and IL tablespoons equals one egg
white.
In freezing, separate whites from
yolks. Do not whip air into whites be-
fore packaging, fast-freezing and stor-
ing at zero F. Run yolks through
sieve and do not whip. Mix in 2 table
spoons of white corn syrup for each
cup of eggs you plan to use in recipes
calling for sweetening.
Use a teaspoon of salt per cup and
no sweetening in eggs for dishes with
out sweetening, such as scrambled eggs
and omelets. Freeze yolks as you do
whites.

agent should be consulted. He can
tell you what is needed on your parti-
cular land to make the droppings a
balanced fertilizer. For example, where
there is an over abundance of lime in
your soil already, one would not add
more lime. Where phosphorus is
needed, phosphate rock might be
added. Where there is greater need
for sulphur, gypsum is very good
thing to add to make more complete
fertilizer.
Further, during the summer when
flies are bad, the pits should be
sprayed to keep down the fly popula-
ton. Flies are carriers of tape worms,
thus having lot of flies about, is
certainly counting the chance of having
a lot of tape worms.
: But as far as pits being better than
boards or versa, there is no answer.

Poultry
Rye Can Be Used
In Poultry Mash

@. Could you tell me something
about the qualities of rye for hens
and growing chicks? / am going
to be short of wheat before harvest
but have a quantity of rye / would
like to use. have given them a
little ground and soaked and they
have eaten that up at once. / never
remember seeing rye included in
rati0ns for chicks.
Also could you tell me if there is
more value in potato Feelings cook
ed or raw for hens?-Mrs. j. M,
Petroleum County.
A. AS feed. for poultry, there is moth
ing wrong with rye. 1t has about the
same amount of protein as barley and
oats. In experiments it does seem to
retard growth in small chicks but after
they are past six weeks old they can
handle it. The main thing against rye
is its limited palatability. Also one
must be sure that there is no ergot
in the rye. There is repeated evidence
that with the presence of ergot the
egg production will be shut off.
If you said your flock ate the ground,
soaked rye, that would be one way
to give it, but it would entail a lot of
work. Frequently we find flocks which
do not like rye ''as-is' but will eat
mash which contains quite lot of
ground rye. Thus it would be my
suggestion that the rye be ground and
added to mash.
The question of how much rye can
be added does not seem to be de-
finitely solved. But several experiment
stations report using as high as Is to
20 per cent with no ill effects. All
the sources which can find definitely
agree that the rye should not be fed
as a scratch grain but should be added
to the mash. If you are planning to
use the rye in a mash you can use
almost any good ration and substitute
rye for barley and oats.
However, do not think that you
can have an adequate ration without
some wheat or wheat by-products.
Since you will be short on wheat you
may be able to purchase some wheat
by products such as bran, middlingS
or mill run cheaper than the wheat
itself.

Widespread unemployment in the

issue in the campaign between
Republican Senator John Sher-

Senator Cooper, conducting a
whirlwind drive through the de-
pressed coal areas. has under
taken to face up to the harsh
realities of the situation for him
self and for the Eisenhower ad-
ministration.
With considerable political dex-
terity, the 53-year-old Senator
Cooper is trying to pin the blame
for the situation on the Truman
administration and. of course,
Mr.. Barkley. Every one acknowl-
edges that it's a good moye-if
he can get away with it.

The other man said. ST don't

AS Mr.. Stevenson made his

der and yelled, Were going to

waved. as he was whisked of to
a $100-a-plate luncheon given by
local Democrats. They think,
incidentally. that in spite of a
32-year history of defeats in of
year elections, they are going to
ride to victory on q Democratic
tide.
At the luncheon, the question
Of Mr.. Stevenson's political fu-
ture was raised. AS it had been
at every railway station, hotel
lobby and rally he has come to
in his tour.
Who Else?
Said one veteran Office holder:
"Of course, I wouldn't want to
ascribe any ulterior motive to
such a fine man as Gov. Steven
son. ! know he's doing it for the
party because he wants to help
pay off the debts of 1852, but
think he's doing it for himself
too.
Nov I ask you, who else have
we got? He's grown since 1852
He's a world citizen now. And
he's got class. ! can see us draft
ing him again in 1856"
But Mr.. Stevenson himself is
as reticent on the subject as he
was when he was the Democrats
Hamlet two years ago. To re-
porters travelling with him on
the train he said he could not
say indefinitely he would not be
a candidate in 1856. He said he
simply could not look that far
ahead.
"I'm inclined to think once is
enough" he added with a rueful
smile.
His immediate plans for next
year are to "cut back and draw
away" from political affairs to
devote himself to his private
affairs, which have been neg
lected, he says, since he entered
Government service IA years ago
Il want to get some rest and

Z TRENTON. N. j.. Oct. "a
Adlai Stevenson, doing his best
for the Democratic Party and the
English language. made q round
of appearances in New Jersey to-
day. Confident Democratic can
didates felt his presence would
"give us just the lift to put us
over"
Two years after his defeat as
Presidential candidate. Mr..
Stevenson is still regarded by
much of his party as its greatest
drawing card and its most
lustrous speaker.
He started out the Congress
sional campaign in the expecta-
ton of making eight speeches, at
a leisurely pace of one a week.
So importunate were party hope
fuls and the National Committee,
that his final speech at Cooper
Union College in New York on
Saturday will be his 40th. He is,
he says. weary"
Mr. Stevenson, who compoSeS
his own, worries endlessly over
his speeches and seems to be
haunted by the notion--wide-
spread in 1952-that they are
caviar to the general. But finding
the people over whose heads his
polished utterances are supposed
to go still presents problem.
Rapt Audience.
Yesterday, for instance. in the
pleasant public square of
Wilmington. Del, a crowd esti-
mated at 5000 people heard his
Commute discourse with the at
tention Of a symphony audience.
They were different in this re-
spect, however: They broke in to
applaud any passage that par
ticularly caught their fancy. OF
these there were many. A dis-
dainful Republican observes
called it "a noise crowd"
The Democrats, who said Mr..

Mr.. Stevenson delivered a speech
on the Republican Party, ''its
sordid pickering and confusion,
its frightening and frustrating
divisions, its backdoor raids on
the public domain"
Mr.. Stevenson said Republican
spokesmen have conducted a
campaign of "slander, epithets,
accusations and Communists in
Government"
Because of this, he declared the
Republicans will "be censured by
the voters on November 3D." -
Ticking off the accomplish
ments of the Democratic admin
istrations of Franklin D. Roose-
velt and Harry S. Truman, Mr..
Stevenson said America then

to catch its breath"
After 20 months of the Eisen-

that the Nation has had its fill

our economy cannot rest or it
will fall back"
