Show THE SPANISH FORK PRESS. SPANISH FORK, UTAH KITCHEN T CABINET FORCED PULLETS ARE TREES ADD GREATLY BEST EGG PRODUCERS TO BEAUTY OF ROAD James E. IUce of the Cornell uni aerslty experiment station Issued a bulletin relative to the possibilities of feeding early batched pullets during the summer by retarded or forced feeding. By retarding Is meant the Idea that feeding Is necessary during the late summer to check the early tendency of laying, with the hope of getting a larger egg yield In the early winter. By forced feeding Is meant the glv lng of a rich stimulating mash to Induce egg production. Concerning the results of his work Mr. Bice has certain findings drawn from data which are submitted be low ! 1. Forced pullets made a better profit than retarded pullets. 2. Forced pullets ate less food per ben at less cost per hen than retard- ed pullets. , , 8. Forced pullets produced more eggs of a larger size, at less cost per dozen than retarded pullets. 4. Forced pullets produced more eggs during early winter than retarded pullets. 5. Forced pullets have better hatching results of eggs than retarded pul-le- ft H Forced pullets made a better percentage of gain In weight than retarded pullets. 7. Forced pullets showed less brood-tnes- s than retarded pullets. 8. Forced pullets had less mortality than retarded pullets. 9. Forced pullets showed better vigor than retarded pullets. 10. Forced pullets showed the first nature molt earlier than retarded pullets. 11. Retarded pullets gave better fertility of eggs than forced pullets. 12. Ilopper-fedry mash gave better results In gain of weight, production of eggs, gain In weight of eggs, hatching power of eggs, days lost In molting, mortality, health and profit per hen, than wet mash. 13. Wet mash and grain-fe- d pullets consumed slightly less food at less cost, and produced eggs at slightly less cost per dozen than dry mash and grain-fepullets. 14. Wet mash and grain-fepullets produced slightly larger eggs of slightly better fertility, and showed less broodiness than dry mash and grain-fe- d pullets. Ilk Dry mash and grain-fe- d pullets laid eggs of good size at an earlier period than wet mash and grain-fe- d pullets. 16. Ilopper-fe- d pullets ate more than hand-fepullets. 17. Pullets having whole grain ate more grit and shell than those having a proportion of ground grain. 13. Pullets fed on grain were more Inclined to develop bad habits than those having a mash. 19. Earliest producers did not give as many eggs In early winter. 20. Early layers gained as rapidly In weight as those beginning later to lay. 21. Prolificacy made by slight difference In weight of hen and weight of egg. 22. The most prolific pullets did not always lay earliest. 6. d d d d Give Pullets Best Feed and Careful Attention The success of the poultryman Is measured very largely by the quality of the pullets with which he replenishes his flock, says Martin Decker, poultry research specialist at the New Jersey agricultural experiment station. Great care should be exercised to keep the pullets growing uniformly from hatching to maturity, as a check or setback will cause them to mature too late for winter laying. Development Is best promoted by free range with an abundance of shade and green food. We feed grain and keep mash before the growing stock continually, The mash Is composed of nearly the same combination as our laying mash, but the pullets tend to begin laying too early If allowed too much of It We must figure1 on having the pullets come Into production about the middle of October, or before cold weather sets Billion Dollars Yearly on Highways Is Planned Ten years ago the Idea that the United States would spend a billion dollars annually on highways would have been regarded as preposterous, Just as preposterous, perhaps, as the Idea that the country some day would have one motor vehicle for about every six persons. The United States bureau of roads estimates that this year the states will Invest more than $400,000,000 In highways, and the counties an even larger amount, while about $135,000,000 will be spent by state departments In maintenance. The explanation of this condition is found largely In the fact that there are now more than 17,500,-00motor vehicles In the country. Ths motor car has helped to bring the roads and It Is furnishing no small part In the cost, of them, contributing for that purpose nearly $200,000,000 in license fees alone and still other millions In the form of gasoline taxes. It Is a day of big figures, big operations and big prospects In the motor vehicle and highway field. The benefit of this development ts beyond calculation. It Is another era of progress for America, comparable to the era of Immense expansion by the railroads half a century ago, but without the excesses of that earlier period. Those who have believed that the days of great expansion In America ended with the opening up of the West and the building of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines should consider the transformation of the country being wrought today by the motor vehicle end the paved highway. 0 Mask ISO 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 wheat bran wheat middlings cornmeal ground oats meat scrap Grata lbs. wheat lbs. cracked corn lbs. oats. lbs. lbs. lba. lbe. lbs.

Apparently the early custom of roadside tree planting In America has been In the constant effort ts forgotten. keep pace with the evergrowing demands of the autolst for more and better roads, there has been little time or money for the planting and cars of trees along the roads. If trees were planted and maintained under Ideal conditions and wen not subject to Injuries and disease, they would continue to thrive fot years. But these conditions are not possible among a community of trees that are naturally subject to natural enemies, such as windstorms. Insect pests, and fungous diseases. All these things muBt be overcome If the trees are to be saved. In saving the shade trees cement plays an Important role. Early In the present century the rapid diminution, of the natural forests and the astounding mortality of the native fruit and shade trees prompted a study of preventive measures. In this work the late John Davey was the pioneer who, through long experiment work, evolved the basic principles of modern tree surgery. And although John Davey tried all sorts of material, he found nothing so effective as cement for filling cavities. Today it Is still without an equal. One of the most Important principles In modern tree surgery Is that bark and sapwood will eventually grow over filled cavities. The decay that has started to eat the heart out of many fine trees can be cut away by the skillful tree surgeon. The cavity can be properly treated and filled, and the life of the tree preserved. Having learned this fact, however, many an person has started the treatment without understanding that success can be obtained only In by observing certain precautions. the first place, the cavity must be properly' prepared, Just as decayed tooth must be properly prepared before filling. Decaying wood or fungus growth left In the tree under the filling will cause decay to continue. Hence the cavity must be treated with a fungicide and a waterproof coat, preferably of a pine-ta- r base. If the cavity la large the filling must be so placed as to provide for the swaying of the trank or branches. When a cavity Is properly filled It la easily made waterproof, and repeated Investigations have proved that there Is no reinfection behind s filling when It Is properly made. In. The pullets should be transferred to winter quarters, gradually a few at a time. Do not put on the lights until they have become accustomed to their new surroundings.
