University" of Illinois WNU Service. Whether the poultry house is modernistic or futuristic in its design matters little to the average nen, but she does appreciate "air-conditioning", in the cold winter months and shows her appreciation by keeping on laying. Housing of poultry for winter is a different problem from housing other farm live stock. The amount of heat developed by the birds is so insignificant from the standpoint of affecting room temperatures that those housing facilities are best which provide the hens with plenty of fresh air and at the same time protect them against extremely low temperatures. Nearly every flock owner has seen egg production drop off after a severe cold spell. On the other hand experimental evidence indicates that heated houses with temperatures of 60 degrees Fahrenheit adversely affect the, health, body, weight and egg-size of the birds. In preventing slumps in egg production following cold spells, the use of heat tb maintain an average temperature of about 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit has been found effective. For many flock owners, temporary heat during cold periods can be provided by the use of brooder stoves or some other common type of room heater. The kind of heating unit used will vary with the availability and price of fuel. In the event of a cheap source of fuel, regular heating units might well be installed, such as hot water pipes laid in the floor or hung on one of the walls. If heat is to be used profitably in poultry houses it is necessary that it be low in cost of operation and not represent a big investment. To consider it more than a possible supplementary aid in getting winter eggs is a mistake. ,; *• 1 0, 2 & * 1 \ ' ti; V WHY YOU'LL SWING TO THE BIG GALLON Lighting the Hen House Encourages Laying Flock Putting on afl-night lights will usually make the most stubborn flock lay. However, this is not recommended except for well-fed and well-housed birds. All the light there is will not make a hen lay an egg if she does not have the proper feed from which to manufacture the egg, asserts an authority in Hoard's Dairyman. The easiest way to light a chicken house is to hang a 15 watt bulb about 12 inches above the mash hopper, turning it on every night before dark and. off in the morning. Those who do; hot have electricity may use an ordinary lantern instead. It takes abo&twoweeks of lighting to show beneficial Results. Once lighting is started ft should be continued until apring; if the lights are discontinued it will throw the birds off production.

Ohio State UniVeralty.--WNuS«rvlc«. One line of pencil work a year for each ewe in the farm flock may help materiality in improving the returns from wool and mutton, as a written record is a great aid in culling inferior animals. Profits from sheep depend a great deal upon producing lambs and wool whfch will bring top market prices and that is impossible if the breeding flock lacks uniformity. Fine wool ewes should shear from 10 to 14 pounds of wool which will grade Delaine or fine combing, and coarse wools should shear 8 to 11 pounds that will grade as combing wool. . Records kept at shearing time will furnish a basis for taking out of the flock those ewes which have ' light fleeces or which produce wool of a poorer grade than the flock average. The owner of the ftyck knows at shearing time which ewes should be discarded but it is doubtful if he can remember the fleece weights, unless a written record is kept or the culls are marked. Many of the light lambs that are not ready for market when the others are ready for sale are late lambs caused by shy breeding ewes or they are unthrifty lambs from ewes which are poor milkers. Ewes in either of these classifications should be discarded, and, again, a written record will help in identifying the culls. Simple record forms that provide means for keeping a check on each ewe in the flock have been prepared by the departments of animal husbandry and rural economics. One line across the sheet provides space for all the records needed on a ewe for a year. County agricultural agents can supply these flock rec-< ord forms upon request.

Dampness in storage has a tendency to start the germinating process, and this weakens the seed, explained Dr. R. F. Poole, plant pathologist with the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment station. Irish potatoes stored in' banks should be aired frequently to prevent decay. Corn, small grain, and other seed should be kept in lead-proof buildings with adequate ventilation to prevent the accumulation of too much moisture. However, this does not mean that the seed should be openly exposed to infestation by insect pests, Dr. Poole cautioned.

They should always have both mash and scratch from then until they are marketed. Most growing maiih mixtunis contain 20 per cent or more of protein. Common grains contain about 10 per cent. Turkeys seem to need only about 15 per cent of protein for the last two months of growth, and hopper feeding of mash and grain provides about .this much prptein. „ Twenty per cent protein mash alone would not be- economical^ Goats for Food In some sections of the Vnited States many goats of the milk type, especially kids, are annually consumed, states a writer in the Missouri Farmer. In some parts of the South kids are considered as a delicacy and are in demand. They are sold for slaughter when from 8 to 12 weeks of age. ftie flesh of young goats, or kids, is palatable and has a flavor suggesting lamb. If properly cooked, the meat from a mature milk goat is also good eating, provided the animal has been properly fed and is in good condition. The prices of goats sold on the market for slaughter are always considerably less than those received for sheep. Goarts do not fatten and carry flesh like sheep. Salt for Asparagus At one time gardeners felt that unless salt was applied to asparagus beds they could not look for best results, but it has been demonstrated beyond question that it is not necessary. Its application, however, will do no harm and it will certainly keep ordinary weeds from growing. As much as 500 pounds to the acre may be used, but whether this will kill couch grass I cannot say, says a grower in the Montreal Herald. Apply in spring.

The general type is somewhat like the Crevecoeur; the plumage color is also solid black. On the other hand, the La Fleche has no crest or beard but has a V-shaped comb which is larger than that of either the Houdan or the Crevecoeur. The standard weights in pounds, are: Cock, 8%; hen, 7%; ©ockerelj 7%; .and pullet, (Hfcr •» ^ Trapnesting ^ ""There is nothing more interesting in the poultry business than trapnesting. All cannot do it because of other duties, but when it is at all possible, every flock should be trap-nested for at least six months of the year. The most important months are in winter. If a hen has proven herself to be a good, consistent producer, without too long a pause in her laying during the cold months, she williundeubtedjy be a profitable layer. v.4 Infant Artichoke Industry A plant for the processing of Jerusalem artichokes into food products and eventually (it is hoped) into power alcohol is being erected at Gering, Nebraska.

Balanced Ration Pays A comparison of a herd feeding a balanced ration and one feeding corn alone was made with the following results in the Linn No. 3, Iowa, C. T. A., writes Otto Bruns, tester, in Hoard's Dairyman. A herd that was fed a balanced ration was also fed according to individual production, and produced butterfat at a co'st of 11.5 cents per pound. The herd that was fed corn alone had • production cost of 24.9 cents per pound, a difference of, 13.4 cents. 3* 44 Leonidas Brags "Your wife speaks with great-confidence in public."
