The germs which cause hog cholera chol-era pay no attention to economic conditions. They will kill hogs during a depression Just as quickly aa during more prosperous time, says a writer In Hoard's Dairyman. Dairy-man. Before hog cholera serum and rlrus were available for protecting pigs against this disease, one could. In the fall of the year, count the farms In a given community on which the disease waa raging, by the amoke from Ores burning dead hogs. Farmers were helpless. They might Just as well have tried to stop a cyclone. The discovery of hog cholera serum virus made It possible to stop most. If not all, of this enormous loss. The preventive pre-ventive treatment Is no good In a bottle; It must be properly Injected Inject-ed Into the animals for whose benefit bene-fit tt waa made available. The Important question for each swine producer, who has not already al-ready Immunized his pigs, to decide Is whether he can afford to take the risk of losing his hogs. In these times, notwithstanding the price of pork, farmers can 111 afford af-ford to lose their hogs after they are nearly ready for market Farmers Farm-ers should keep close watch of their hogs. All farmers In a given neighborhood should know Immediately Imme-diately when snd If there Is an outbreak out-break of cholera in the neighbor hood. Grass Land Made More Valuable by Fertilizer A book by Sir Frederick Kleble, director of research for the Imperial Im-perial Chemical Industries Ltd., gives some of the remarkable results re-sults obtained by the application of fertilizers to pastures. English farmers are endeavoring to Improve their luxuriant pastures by getting earlier and more continuous growth. Results of 492 trials made In England are reviewed by 8Ir Frederick. On 91 per cent of the farms the grass waa ready from 14 to 28 days earlier on plots treated with nltrochalk at the rate of 145 pounds to the acre. It la pointed out that there Is a considerable gain when live stock can be turned out a fortnight earlier and the cost of expensive concentrated feeds saved. It la shown by charts that while grass land Is under present conditions condi-tions the Inferior of arable land as a producer of food. It Is possible possi-ble by supplying nitrogen and min eral food to more than double the I nun tit it Im if .rrula nrittoln rionrlv i' V. ... ..LU..j treble the digestible protein, and about a third more total food measured meas-ured as starch, than are contained In the oat crop. In New Zealand there are already 3,000 farmers expert graziers all of them wlp are applying nitrogen and phos-phatlc phos-phatlc fertilizers to their grass land. Soybeans for Hay If you are going to be short of bay, seed soybeans broadcast and cultivate them with a harrow or rotary hoe until they get a good start and ahead of the weeds. The soybeans will yield a heavy tonnage ton-nage of high-quality feed. Just about equal to alfalfa in feeding value. With seed cheaper this year than ever before, a small field of beans will not be a heavy Investment Invest-ment and the return will be as great as from any crop on the farm. The soys should be put In about corn-planting time, but If necessary can wait until the corn la out of the way. Soybean hay will stand a lot of abuse at harvest time, and though It stands In cocks for a long time, will come out all right so far as feeding value Is concerned. Prairie Farmer. Hay Cures by Burning Curing hay In sweat stacks by letting it heat Is really burning part of the hay to make heat to dry the rest, the United States Department De-partment of Agriculture says. When the hay heats In the sweat stacks a type of combustion takes place, although there Is no actual flame. This method, used where there Is so much rainfall there Is little chance to sun-cure the hay, produces what Is known as "brown hay." Although It may be relished hv llvn stock liiiv cured this wnv Is Inferior to properly mnde snn-j snn-j cured hay, as the beating produces a degree of deterioration, the de portment says. Agricultural Hints Grain crops In Orent Britain are up to averagia hay considerably below. be-low. Thin apples, on vigorous trees, to about six Inches apart. Remove all fruits affected with Insect or disease dis-ease Injury by spray burn, by hall, by limb rub, and with other blemishes. blem-ishes. Fire blight was first reported In the United States as attacking apple ap-ple nnd penr trees hi the Hudson valley. It Is thought thnt the dls ease originated In Japan. OPEN SEASON NOW FOR W.AR ON PESTS Get Rid" of Mites and Collect More Eff a. Br a r. PAKRISB, BstmUm Foultrr-m&a. Foultrr-m&a. North Carolina State Caller. WNU Sorvto During the rash season, ownera of farm flocka of poultry forget the birds and aa a result mite and lice get to work with a resulting decrease de-crease In the number of eggs laid, and the effort of the chickens to roost on a tree limb rather than in the poultry house. Thla Is the season when the an-nual an-nual war begins between mites on the one hand and eggs on the other. Poultrymen act as spectators but pay a stiff admission price to witness wit-ness the battle. Neglect of the flocks at this time Invites enemies of good poultry husbandry to get busy, and chief among these Is the well-known mite. The Insect Infests poultry houses, usually hiding away under the perchea daring the day but preying upon the birds at night, sucking their blood, lowering their vitality and thereby decreasing egg production. Here are some of the ways In which mltee may be eradicated. First, do not nail down the roost poles fast to the supports. If they are nailed, knock them loose. Then spray the. roosts, and the whole house, If needed, with old burnt cylinder cyl-inder oil mixed with equal parts of kerosene. Second, paint or spray the roost with carbollneum, aa recommended In Farmers' Bulletin 801 of the United States Department of Agriculture. Agri-culture. Past history shows that mites have won every war In which they have engaged unless outside aid Is given, and now that every source of farm income Is needed by the owner, time should be given to eradicate poultry parasites to the extent that the birds may give their highest production. Hatchery Best Method of Maintainirif Flock There are three principal ways by which poultry flocks are maintained from year to year. These are: the sitting hen. the farm Incubator, and the hatchery ; and the moat satisfactory satisfac-tory source of chick supply Is the hatchery, because of the fsct that the whole problem of brooding, rearing and production, being on a highly uniform basis. Is simplified. A farmer Is not really In the poultry poul-try business until he haa at least 100 laying pullets A flock of at least this size makes It possible for him, particularly If located near a large market, to sell his eggs direct to the retailer, getting the benefit of higher prices than are possible when eggs are sold through the usual trade channels. To ensure a pullet flock of 100 birds In the fall It Is necessary t start with around 250 chicks. Where chicks are purchased from the breeder hatchery or the commercial hatchery any desired number cajr be started at a given time, and the problem of management, brooding, rearing and feeding ia simplified. What Is more Important, the pullets pul-lets In the flock mature at the same age and go Into the laying house In a condition suited to high production. produc-tion. Poultry Hint Poultry and eggs possessing a standard type are meeting with la-creased la-creased demands on the consuming market Prevention Is the safe way to raise turkeys. Keep the old birds sway from the young. Hatch eggs In an Incubator. The demand for young pullets la Increasing every year and the trade In them can be made highly profit-table profit-table to the producer. If eggs are gathered three timea a day, there will be fewer broken and soiled ones, and the eggs will retain their fine quality longer. While there are records of pullets which laid eggs earlier, the time when they should begin to lay Is between the ages of five snd six months. 0 Resistance to disease can be Increased In-creased by breeding from strong unrelated un-related birds Snd by the use of good feeds and good feeding methods. 00 Provide roosts for the young growing birds. When these are svallable they will not pile up at night and smother In the hot corners cor-ners of the brooder houses. There Is no profit In feeding liens which do not lay, and this Is the season when many decided to go on vacation. Icarn to pick out the slackers and sell them for meat. OO Providing plenty of shade for the yards la one wsy of protecting the flock from the hot weather. If there la not sufficient natural shade, artificial arti-ficial shelter can easily be provided with boards, canraa, or brush. |
