Timeliness spraying begins in Prompt ordering of parts and attention to 'repair work means added insurance of timeliness next spring and summer when hours lost may be dollars wasted. Now is the time to, check over the entire spray outfit and see what is going to be needed in order to start off on time and in good shape. Perhaps new plungers and packing are needed for the pump. If so, your dealer or the manufacturer can get them in time if they are ordered early. It t is generally necessary to replace packing and diaphragms eacn year, and, of course, such replacement is bothersome if it comes during a spray job. Other parts of the pump which should be given attention are the valves and valve balls. If an inspection reveals that the valve seats are worn they may be removed, and reseated with the necessary tools, or sent to the factory of the maker. If they are worn badly it is just as well to order new parts. Occasionally valve balls will also wear unevenly, so that they dont seat tightly, in which, case new ones may be secured. Careful checking of the pressure gauge, magneto, ignition wires and all bearings is essential at an early date, as all are vital parts of the outfit and may require considerable time to repair or replace. Under pressure usually maintained with modern high capacity machines, spray hose must quite often be replaced each season. mid-winte- in r. 1 Frizzled Chickens . Do Not Always Breed True A problem of interest to breeders of Frizzled chickens has been settled by Dr. F. B. liutt of the poultry division. University farm, St. Paul. Frizzled chickens are a favorite variety with many fanciers and have attracted more or less attention in recent years at poultry shows. As described by Doctor Hutt, the feathers of the Frizzled variety curl toward the head instead of fitting closely and smoothly to the body. The appearance, he says, is that of a fowl which has been pulled backward through a tight bole In the fence. A question early arose as to why Frizzled chickens did not breed true, and Doctor Hutt, then at the University of Edinburgh, undertook to solve the problem, completing his experiments after he came to University farm. He says there are two types of Frizzled fowl, one an extreme type almost woolly, and the other, or more common type, the feathers of which stand out stiffly and make a ruff about the birds neck. It is the latter type which wins prizes in the shows. Birds of this type mated with birds of like type do not breed true. The results are In the ratio of one woolly to two ordinary Frizzled birds and one normal bird, but if a woolly Frizzle is mated with a norbird, all of mal or a the progeny are of the show type. smooth-feathere- d smooth-feathere- d SUBMIT Auditorium BUDGET Completed CITY TO BUILD STORM SEWER DAIRYMEN GIVEN AWARD-B- OY AWARDED MEDAL SALT LAKE Irene Kelly Williams, Salt Lake girl, who for several years, has been nationally known ; for her work as soprano with the Philadelphia Civic Oiera Company, has been called to her home town to sing the soprano part in The Messiah on December 28.

The old days in college he liked to try out everything for himself bless his heart ; 'when he found out he was wrong he was always ready to acknowledge his mistake. How long it had been since she had seen any of the old crowd. Suddenly an idea came to her. With a cry of delight she jumped up, and with the telephone book before her began making a list of names. Yes, she could locate most of them, and in a few minutes she was calling up the parties. Either the idea of again mingling with the old companions, or the curiosity to see what a new fashioned New Years eve party, as Betty described it, was, the ten old friends gladly accepted the invitation. Betty wondered how Sam Taylor would accept drinking in the New Year in grape juice. Betty had told everybody there would be 12 guests, but when they arrived there were only 11 with Betty. Nothing was said, .however, until they entered the dining room a little before 12, when Edgar Marsh asked for whom the extra chair might be. 1 By-M- yrtle Koon Cherryman - JOING on my way forward, to face what might come next in life, 1 met the New Year. He was not a babe, as I had but a slender supposed, youth, full of hope and confidence, and I was surprised to see that he carried two bags on his back. What are you going to give me, New Year? I asked. I suppose you have all sorts of things in those two sacks joys and sorrows, haps and 0- mishaps of various kinds. he replied, there are just No, two classes of tilings, and you may take your choice. 1 cried My choice eagerly. Then of course 1 will choose only the easiest things, those that will bring joy. Just as you like, he said, smiling, only when 1 am ! old, dont complain to me that I have treated you badly have cheated you ! Folks do that to me sometimes!

And feed the grain in hoppers rather than in In Wintering Breeding Geese Watch the Feed It is not the lack of exercise directly that causes trouble in wintering breeding reese. Exercise is probably slightly beneficial, but lack of it does not entirely account for lowered vitality, health and fertility. The common feeds for wintering geese are almost entirely farm grains, corn, wheat, oats and barley. Little else is commonly fed. When the ground is bare or nearly so they will supplement such a ra- tion by means of grass, dead and partly dead, and hay leaves and stems if allowed around the barns and feed-lotGiven no chance at legume hay, they will strip off and eat the more tender leaves of corn fodder. Geese are normally foraging fowls, making the bulk of growth and gain from grass and other green feed. s. Hatch from stock that will raise the type and production level of your flock. Sprouted oats, fed to growing chickens when green feed is scarce, will prevent nutritional, roup, or Eggs for hatching should be fairly uniform in size and shape. Eggs that are very large or very small, misshapen, checked, or very bloody should not be set. the darker one, You may give me some out of that bag and some from this one, please. Smiling again, the New Year handed me all I could hold out of each bag. When the year was old, I sought him again, to bid him Godspeed, and he asked me hor I had fared. vo Very well, I but 1 answered, have sometimes wondered what woud have happened If I had chosen all from the fairer looking sack labeled Opportunities, or all from the darker one marked Obstacles. Would I have had better results either way? No, answered the Old Year; it would have been the same, in either case, for it all depended on you became opportunities, or opportunities became obstacles. The one so often becomes the other, according into whose hands they fall. (. are: Poultry Notes my life, 1 remembered how deceptive s&me of the shining things had , The hen without an appetite Is a shirk in the poultry flock. It is that last 10 or 20 per cent of feed that the hen consumes which fills the egg basket, while all the rest is used to maintain the bird, declares R. E. Cray, extension specialist In poultry for the Ohio State university. The trick in forcing birds to' lay more eggs is in the inducing them to eat more feed. Cray has five suggestions for boosting feed consumption by fowls in their winter quarters. These er THE NEW YEARS GIFT pointing Last of Feed Consumed Fills the Egg Basket. Provide a sufficient amount of mash-hoppspace, one foot for five or six birds. There are always timid birds in the flock that wont eat unless there is plenty of hopper space. Feed fresh mash every day. When the hoppers are filled with a sufficient quantity to last several days, the hens pick it over and eat what they like best; when they reach the leavings, feed consumption and egg production both slump. Use a wet mash. Just as a boy will eat more bread when there is Jelly on it, so will a hen eat more mash when it is moistened with milk. Feed mash the same time each day.

Rat and mouse proof tanks or bins are fine, but most grain bins are open and the grain exposed. To eliminate these pests a good mouse cat or two is perhaps the most practical thing to consider. A black snake or two around the granary also helps though most people are inclined to dislike and distrust the snake more than the rats. : Thats for the Oh, Betty laughed, New Year. 1930. Western Newspaper Union.! Hens kept for breeding purposes can be hastened back in production by limited use of lights from January 15 until March without any apparent effect on hatchability of eggs. Lights make it possible to carry early hatched pullets through the first fall and winter production period' with much less molting ths wheD lights are not used. When is a hen old? For laying purposes a pullet becomes an old hen with her first moult. With the first and each succeeding moult a hens capacity tor laying eggs decreases directly in proportion to the number of moults in her life cycle. On most farms turkey raising has become a gamble. So much so that turkeys are becoming extinct In mafiy sections. Eggs not more than eight days old are best for hatching. Those held longer than one week are scarcely safe to use. The most important thing in breeding for egg production is to Identify the good producers that have the ability to produce good layers and use their blood in the flock. ' |
