PULLETS DO BEST IF HOUSED EARLY Ample Space, Cleanliness, Good Ration Necessary. By H. H. Alp; Poultry Extension Specialist. University of Illinois.--WNU Service. With higher egg prices in prospect, poultry producers will find it doubly important to see that pullets are in their winter quarters a week or 10 days before laying begins. Failure to observe this fundamental rule has many times resulted in lowered egg production when pullets are confined to winter quarters. . If the poultry house is in good shape, if the pullets have ample space, at least four square feet a bird, if the house is kept clean, if there are ample feeders and if a good ration is provided, well-, matured pullets can be confined to houses all the time and maintain good production. In the event that the poultry house is not particularly satisfactory and where a good clean range with plenty of young tender green feed fidjoins the house, pullets might well be allowed outside at least the latter part of each afternoon until snowy weather arrives. However, confinement following range privileges and during good egg production is likely to cause a drop in production. Once pullets become accustomed to being kept in they can be expected to lay well if properly fed. All things considered, pullets will usually do best when they are kept separate from older hens. Many poultry houses can easily be divided into two rooms by using poultry netting as a partition. Crystal Lake and Barrington Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Smith and farr.- afternoon. ; fly.

Marion Jean and Franklin Block'of " > *• Off-Flavor of the Milk Not From Well-Fed Cows If the milk from cows becomes off-flavor because they eat weeds, the remedy lies in providing feed other than that in the pasture, advises W. B. Combs, member of the St. Paul university farm dairy staff. Experiments at University farm indicate that cows may-( not eat enough weeds to flavor milk if other palatable feed is available. In working with well-fed cows, it was necessary to starve them to the weeds, says Combs. When pepper grass flavor occurs in milk or cream, the cow has likely consumed as much as 80 pounds of the weed daily, University dairymen believe, for it was difficult to obtain more than a mild off-flavor in milk or cream by feeding 60 pounds of pepper grass. This would indicate that when pepper grass flavor occurs in milk, the animals are receiving little more feed than the weed itself. When cows eat such weeds as French weeds, wild onion and pepper grass, the milk they produce becomes almost worthless. This not only leads to . a loss for the individual dairyman, but to the industry as a whole, since in products from weed-flavored milk and cream, the off-flavors are intensified. Combs reports that if^asture is supplemented by a grain ration, and some hay or silage, cows are less likely to eat enough weeds to flavor the milk. ^Grfoup Pullets by Agei When pullets in the same stage of maturity are placed in the one pen they are much easier to handle, and produce better results than when birds of various stages of maturity are mixed. Because pullets all of the same age can be fed to better advantage, production will often climb to 70 or 80 per cent, because they are all laying at the same time. When production begins to drop the whole pen may be given the same change in management at the same time to bring the pullets back into laying. Thus a change to artificial lights, wet mash or any other phase of management may be made to better advantage. - Sore Shoulders on Horsfcs Clean cold water is very effective in washing sore shoulders on horses. Where animals are troubled with tender skin, advises the Indiana Farmer's Guide, it is possible to bathe the troubled areas noon and evening with a mild astringent wash as follows: Lead acetate 4 ounces and zinc sulphate 3 ounces in 1 gallon of water. This solution should be shaken well before using. At first an attempt should be made not to work the horse too hard for a time. Frequent curryings and brushing, clean collars, well-fitting collars and constant attention will do much to keep shoulders in working condition. Laying House ~ One has a considerable investment in the pullets raised this year. And a little bug or two can upset the profit cart so easily, says Hoard's Dairyman. The laying house should be given a pretty thorough going-over inside. Use a lye solution or other good disinfectants. And don't neglect, the feed hoppers and water utensils. They need a real cleaning up. Repair nests and put in new shavings or other nesting material. Shavings usually keep eggs cleaner than straw. How 'Portland' Cement Gets Name "Portland" cement gets its name from the fact that the concrete made from it resembles stone quarried on the island of Portland, England. The mesh through which finished high-grade cement is screened is so fine it will hold water. Arlington Heights, Mr. and lbs. W. A.
