Allowing pullets to make their own choice about the amount of mash and grain they eat, especially when they are from 12 to 24 weeks of age, has proven desirable from many standpoints. It encourages the development of normal body weight and good health, and it promotes normal egg production with the e and pullet-siz- e least number of eggs. This method of feeding may be continued until egg production exceeds 50 per cent. Too much mash in the ration caused by restricting the grain supply, makes a bird consume more protein than she needs with the result that the surplus quantity must be eliminated from her system. While heavy feeding of mash during pee-we- ment Cattle get plenty of exercise but produce little meat and milk from worn out pastures. Properly managed pastures control erosion on sloping fields and produce the cheapest of all live stock feeds. Overgrazed pastures are soon reduced to a playground for hungry cows and mules. Good permanent pastures prevent losses of topsoil and the formation of gullies. Together with trees they represent the only natg means ural and for protecting slopes too steep for the production of income-producin- When pullets are from 12 to 24 weeks old, it is best to feed them two or three times as much grain as mash because birds at this stage of growth require considerably less protein for good development than do younger birds. This change in ration may be made easily, for if birds of this age are allowed free access to both grain and mash at all times, they the latter period of body develop- stimulates egg production earlier than when heavy grain feeding is practiced, the birds will produce small eggs for a longer period of time. Change in Management Is Cure for Pullet-Pickin- g clean-cultivat- ts be, says J. C. Taylor, associate extension poultryman at the New Jersey College of Agriculture, Rutgers University. In helping to overcome cannibalism, which is often a problem with new pullets that have just been housed, Mr. Taylor makes the following suggestions: 1. four square feet of floor ' spaceProvide for each bird. 2. Allow each bird two inches of hopper space. 3. Provide a deep litter of straw. 4. Feed some grain in the litter. 5. Darken the nests. Should these changes in management fail to solve the problem, metal beaks, specs and shields are recommended. The beaks and specs, however, are more effective than the shields. ed crops. If you want to keep your pasture from becoming a live stock gymnasium and protect .the soil from washing away, application of these timely pasture hints is suggested: 1. Do not graze heavily in dry seasons. 2. Mow the weeds and shrubs that rob moisture. 3. Let new seedings make a good top growth before grazing. 4. Plant temporary pastures of Sudan grass, soy beans, cowpeas, etc., to tide the livestock over the entire season. Pastures Do Better When Allowed Breathing Spell A breathing spell for pastures pays good dividends in more forage and better gains in weight of cattle, according to tests by the Bureau of Animal Industry at the Ardmore field station, Ard- more, S.

Water Required by Horse Water requirements of the horse are largely dependent on the amount and kind of work performed and the feed used. Carbonaceous feeds oxidize more completely than nitrogenous feeds. A horse fed timothy hay and oats, with comparable weight and work, will drink less water than one fed alfalfa and grain of a higher protein content. At medium work, a horse will average drinking 12 to 14 gallons of water daily. Rural New Yorker.' 1,400-pou- nd Feeding Young Pigs The amount of feed required to add 100 pounds to a pig depends upon how long the feeding period is to last. A total of 340 pounds of feed will add the required amount in a period of ten weeks. The feeds include 30 pounds of fish meal or tankage, 120 pounds nd Picking Out Feathers The trouble with chickens picking out their feathers is caused by a small mite that gets into the skin near the base of the feathers and causes irritation. To get rid of this mite, according to the North Carolina State College, the poultry house should be thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with a solution of three parts of crude petroleum or carbo-lineuand one and one-haparts of kerosene. Dip the birds in a tub containing two ounces of flowers of sulphur and six ounces of flaked soap to five gallons of tepid water.

Agriculture in Philippines Although the Philippines are chiefly agricultural, only about square miles of their 114,400 square miles of area are cultivated. One of the several reasons is the abundance of coarse grasses that spring up if fields are neglected. In many cases it is easier to clear a patch in the jungle than to reclaim a field captured by grasses. It is not surprising that many of the islands' exports to this and other countries are fibers, and fiber products. 16,-3- 00 Riches 2lL riches you carry with constitute your wealth. which you can take out That of a bank, that to which you can have a title - deed, is naught compared with your The granpersonal wealth. of your nobility the and deur character, the sweetness and the helpfulness of your life, these are the things that are worth while, that give endurand ing satisfaction to yourself those about you.

Without comparing these two as to past records or future prospects, I figure theyre temperamentally alike in various ways notably in not getting unduly excited or nastily vindicative. In his talk Hamilton did not declare the American flag was in danger, did not implore anyone to save the American home. He didnt call the Republicans saints; didnt call the Democrats knaves or idiots. He didnt claim for his side a monopoly of patriotism. Quite calmly he told his hearers what points he thought should be stressed by his party in this campaign and poked fun at himself while poking fun at the other crowd. T HEARD Congressmen Versus Taxes AGAINST my better judgment, Im trying to be cheered by the announcement of the present majority leaders in congress that, looking forward to the next session, they behold no new taxes ahead. But, after election, when the lads look closer, theyll probably be able to behold quite a few. Thats why a balanced budget is like the idea of santa claus something everybody talks about, but nobody ever expects to see. Excepting when a campaign is on and the voters are sort of flinching their galled backs under the load, a favorite pastime of legislators, wherever found, is thinking up more taxes to go along with the taxes theve already thunk up. They resist the craving for just so long, and then they notice some previously overlooked dollars hiding behind the baseboard, and then-w- ell, you might hire a henhawk to guard your henhouse, but could you depend on his word?
