Colorado Agricultural College.--WNU Service. Soung chickens and turkeys In many sections have been affected with a condition known as hock disease, which can be corrected by leaving mineral mixtures out of the ration. Mineral mixtures should be fed sei> ar&tely and not placed in the mash, to prevent the trouble. This malady mAde its appearance among brooder chicks and poults especially. It now appears quite definitely to be due to the addition of too much mineral in the ration. It has been reproduced by the addition of some of the so-called balance^ commercial mineral mixtures. After an affected chick gefis. to be; a few weeks old its legs become bo^ed outw&rd' until they wilt no longer support the weight of its body. The chick then gets around by walking on its hocks. The hocks become enlarged and the tendon slips to one side.. In brief, the mineral mixtures have often been overdone. In several commercial mineral mixtures on the market there is 4 little of almost every kind of mineral, many of which are not needed in the production of healthy chickens and turkeys. As a matter of fact, most poultry feeds contain sufficient minerals themselves. Wherever there Is a lack of mineral in the feeds, It cftn be easily supplied. Oyster shell' and bone meal will supply all that Is likely to be needed. • Odd Death Signal Throughout a number of Balkan countries, a tub filled with water beside the door is a sign that death has visited the home.

" Sodium fluoride Is probably the cheapest lice killer to use. The powder may be applied dry or dissolved in water and used as a dip. For dip, mix one ounce of the powder to,a gallon of water. An easy method of controlling lice is to paint the roosts with 40 per cent nicotine sulphate solution a Short tj,me before the birds go to perch. The nicotine sulphate vapfirs spread through the feathers of the roosting fowls and kill many lice. Grazing Woodlands Hariris Trees, Cow§ ' "i . ii • • a 3-Year Experiment Shows Practice Far From the Best Judgment Br I*. W. Dean, Extension Specialist In ' Forestry. Ohio State University.-- WNU Service. Not only does the woodlot suffer, but the cows suffer, too, when woods are pastured. This is ' a conclusion reached after three years of experimentation in Indiana. When two{ four, or eveii six .acres of woodlot pasture were allowed fv each animal unit, and no outside range provided, the cows in the experiment lost weight rapidly and - had to be moved to other range. ' Effects noted upon the woodlot "were destruction of the young trees, damage to the roots of the older trees, hard-packing of the soil, and disap pearance of moisture-conserving layers of leaf mold. Many farmers have observed these effects and haive fenced their woods area from their pasture. According to the last census, how ever, over 70 per cent , of the farm Woods Id Ohio are grazed by live stock. Of the total pasture acreage in the state, eight ibiliion acres, fully two* million acres Are woodlands. With the removal from cultivation of a half million acres of crop land, through the adjustment programs, that amount of land is available for grazing, relieving much of our woodlands from serving double duty aa.woodlot and pasture.

To clear a henhouse of mites, give the house a thorough cleaning and then spray the roosts, supports, dropping boards, nests and all other likely places where mites may be hiding. An oil spray, such aa anthracene oil or carbollneum, Is the kind to use. After spraying, hens should be kept out of the house until the fumes have disappeared and the oil hai soaked inte the wood. : Rhode Island Reds .' The Standard description of Rhode Island Red fowls, as adopted by the Rhod<e Island Red Club of America, places the standard weight of cocks at 8% pounds, cockerels at 7% pounds, hens at pounds, and pullets at 3 pounds. These fowls are described as of medium size, and closely resembling the Plymouth Rock in form. The comb most admired is that of the Wyandotte type; an unusual development in breast and body is encouraged; and they are described as having! square body formation. Buckwheat Is Not Good Feed for Fattening HogS Unless buckwheat should, become much cheaper than the price of corn, it .cannot be highly recommended to farmers/as a fattening feed for hogs, says W. B. Oarrell, chief in swine husbandry at the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. If, however, the market price of buckwheat should fall materially below that of corn, it might be fed in limited quantities, but never more than one-fourth to one-third of 'the hogs' rations. Such a reduction in the price of buckwheat Is considered quite Improbable, and farmers '"with this small grain in their granaries-will generally find it more profitable to sell the buckwheat and buy corn for their hogs. In fact there has been less than 60,000 bushels of buckwheat produced annually in Illinois during the past three years. In composition buckwheat resembles oats more closely than It does any of the other more common grains, explains Carroll. This fact alone suggests that it should not bemused extnrsirety as a hog: feed unless it Is cheaper pound for pound than corn. Likewise, because It contains more than 10 per cent crude fiber, its extensive use will tend to produce slower gains and in the end will add to the production cost of the hogs. Heavy feeding of buckwheat Is also credited with producing pork of poor quality, although if used in moderation this difficulty shouldfpot be encountered. WANTED -- LADIES TO LEARN BEAUTY CULTURE.

Where these crops have not been grown, soil from a field that has been planted to them maybe used. From 200 to 400 pounds of this soil should be applied to each acre of land seeded to alfalfa. Dampen the seed with a mixture of equfcl parts of water and molasses and sift on a small quantity of the soil from the inoculated field. Stir the seed until they are well coated with the ,1011.

Fowls are in the latter class. Poultrymen generally consider the dusting of hens, turkeys and guineas as primarily to tid themselves of parasites. On the contrary, that is just an Incidental effect of cleansing the plumage. To say that the fowl takes a dust bath is a little misleading. Fowlp do not really like dry earth or ashes to bathe in. They prefer them Just damp enough so that they will take dirt from the feathers.

With a carry-over of some , 200,000,000 bushels and a production which certainly cannot fall below 520,000,000 bushels, there will be5, plenty of wheat for normal consumption.', V;'*;.
