For Quality, Value
Buy Pullet Eggs
By BOYD ELLIS

A FEW DAYS ago went out to our
college poultry farms to buy some eggs.
The farm workers were just bringing
in the eggs from that days production.
1t was beautiful sight! Basket after
basket of clean, freshly laid eggs. But,
in looking over the baskets, discov-
cred that practically all of the eggs
are small.
This situation will be repeated time
after time on our poultry farms during
the next few weeks. There will be a
lot of small eggs and very few large
ones on the market This is a normal
thing. We have a lot of pullets lust
coming into production, and practically
all pullets lay small eggs for the first
few weeks. Most of the old hens. which
have been laying large eggs, have been
sent to market to make room in the
laying house for the young pullets.
Some housewives don't like to buy
the small eggs because they think they
aren't good. They think an egg has to
be large to be good. This is not true.
In fact, in lot of instances the small
eggs are of higher quality than the
larger ones. Egg grades are based pri-
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-08-15

marty on interior quality and condition
of the shell. The size of the egg has
very little or no affect on the interior
quality. We can have grade AA small
egg which will be just as good as the
AA large. The only difference is, there
just isn't quite as much of it. In fact,
research workers have found that small
eggs are usually higher in food value
than the larger eggs.
How about the price? Let's go back
to my trip to the farm. The prices they
had posted that day were: Grade A
large SIS cents. Grade A small 40 cents.
Grade A pullet Is cents. At these prices,
the small eggs were just as good buy
as the large eggs. In checking my chart
I find that if the large eggs which weigh
"a ounces per dozen are selling for SIS
cents we can afford to pay up to AZ
cents per dozen for the small eggs
which are Is ounces per dozen. Suppose
we bought eggs by the pound as we do
most of our other foods. The large eggs
at SIS cents per dozen would cost us
about 81 cents per pound The small
eggs at 40 cents per dozen would cost
So cents, or about the same price as
the large if bought on a per pound
basis.
Two things to remember: ID small
eggs can be good. ~ they are usually
a good buy at most markets.

COccidiOsis Control
Easier Than Cure
By BOYD ELLIS

DURING THE PAST few weeks I
have had several reports of coccidioSis
from our State Veterinary Laboratory.
1t seems that we had more cases re-
ported this year than is normal for this
section of the country. The larger num-
Der of cases reported could be due to
the several rain showers we have had
in some sections of the state Coccid-
ioSiS, like many of our other poultry
diseases, is worse during damp
weather.
How serious is coccidioSis? 1t might
be termed the universal disease among
chickens. 1t is a disease primarily of
growing chickens from to 20 weeks
of age and is caused from a micro
scopic one-celled parasite. This para
site may live over in the ground from
one season to the next 1t is resistant
to the action of most diSinfectantS.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to
prevent the flock from getting some
degree of exposure to coccidiosis, even
under the best of management.
1t is known that there are at least
different types of coccidiosis. This
makes treatment difficult even with
our present day medicines. There is
a definite treatment for each specific
type of coccidiosiS. This means that
we must know what type of coccidiosis
the birds have before treatment is
started. If the birds need medication.
it is good idea to check with some
qualified person as to the kind of medi-
cine needed. Since treatment is so I'M
certain, one of the best ways to prevent
coccidiosis is to follow strict manage
ment program.
Here are some good management pra-
tees you should follow:
1. Keep chickens in clean, dry quar-
tiers.
2. Keep feed and water in clean uten-
sis. Place utensils on wire or slat plat
forms.
8. Give chickens enough space in
which to exercise. The more space al
lowed, the fewer coccidia per square
foot of litter or ground
4. Get rid of mice, rats and flies
around poultry house and yards.
S. Grow birds on clean range away
from old laying stock.

the upstream end of the pipe give ex-
cellent control of the water. This type
of turnout has long life and is largely
trouble free. 1t is the kind of turnout
that will not leak and will be very easy
and fast to operate.
A turnout can be made by using a
metal form. A metal pipe is placed lin
this form and concrete poured around
it. Used hot water tanks with the ends
cut out make excellent pipe for these
turnouts. For turnoutS, II inches in
diameter or smaller, 212 feet or pipe is
sufficient. For larger diameter, to
feet Of pipe or more may be needed
depending on the kind of soil, size and
shape of the ditch bank. The concrete
makes collar with slide gate groove
in it to control the water through the
pipe. The collar is installed on the up
stream side and the pipe is buried in
the ditch bank. Figure shows the form
ready for use. Figure shows the pipe
III place ready for the concrete. Figure
shows the completed turnout ready
for installation. The gate installed in
the ditch is shown in Figure 7.
Metal forms can be purchased which
will make turnouts up to "a inches in
diameter. If turnouts larger than "a
inches in diameter are needed it would
probably be best to use. poured-in-
place concrete headgate. The following
chart will give an estimate of the water
which can be handled through these
turnoutS.

Grease the form with crank case oil
before pouring the concrete. Use a
1-2-2A mix with the maximum size
gravel of aS-inch diameter for the small
turnouts and %-inch for the large ones.
Be sure to work the concrete mix well
under the lip of the form. Use clean

Agricultural experts believe

Outlook Obscure
The hog price outlook is con-
sidered more obscure. This years

augmented by a 1856 spring pig
crop equal to that of 1855. The
autumn, 1856. crop may be down,
however.

to be slightly lower next year

wheat was dropped to 80 per
cent Of parity and on corn to 81
per cent of parity. Prices in the
free market fell far below the
support level and the Govern
ment accumulated huge supplies.
Speculation Declines
Speculative activity in grain
futures on the Chicago Board of
Trade was at a low ebb. Public
interest. focused to q great ex-
tent on securities, could not be
attracted to cereals.
In the cash market at Chicago.
all grains made their highs in
January $2.391z for wheat.

Wheat was at q low of $1.911a
in August, corn $1.11A in No

and soybeans $2.19 in October.
The future Is uncertain. Some

do much to determine the course

CHICAGO. Jan. I R.-Grain
supplies continued to pile up
during 1855 and so did the po-
litical commotion they created.
We have wheat. We have
corn. We have oats. And If we
could ask for anything more it
would be for some way to get rid
Iof them-without instigating in
tternational i'll will in the proc

With a presidential election
ahead, the political commotion
inspired by the farm problem.
of which grains constitute an
important section. promises to
become more intense. New Farm
programs will pop out all over
Congress.
| Acreage allotments were In
effect in 1855 for some grains.
These restrictions did cut down
production Of grains to which
they were applied. But not
enough. The country continued
ito produce more than 1t could
either eat or export.
Production Mounts
Wheat production totaled 916
million bushels. down per cent
from 1854 and of II per cent
from the 1944-1953 average. But
Icarryoyer from previous crops
Itotaled / .021 900 900 bushels. The
Government made strenuous eff
forts to export the wheat II
owned.
But. as the Agriculture De-
partment sees 1t, the supply OF
wheat at the end of the current
marketing year June 80, 1850
will set a new record.
In corn. many farmers over
planted their acreage allotments.

OPA price ceiling maintained
during World War II and the
immediate postwar years. And
the lows came after the Govern
ment started buying pork and
lard to bolster hog prices.
The top price on hogs for
the year at Chicago was $22.75
on June 81. That compared with
a top of $28.75 in the previous
year. The all-time peak was
$3l.85 in l948.
Drop to Sass
BY the end Of November no
hogs brought more than $l225.
The lowest top quotation in the
previous year was 1885. The
former OPA ceiling was SASS.
Behind the big price drop was
an enormous supply Of hogs. The
spring pig crop was up 9 per
cent at so, ass, 900 head and the
fall crop was up about 10 per
cent at an estimated 40,500. 900
head.
Cattle numbers and slaughters
were at record high during the
year-cattle and calves on farms
at the start of the year totaled
s5,4S3,000. These big numbers,
plus the strong competition from
pork. held down prices.
High for the year on prime
steers at Chicago was $3.50, set
