UTAH Around FOUND HELP SUMMER PRUNING IS LOGICAL PLAN FATTEN BROILERS FOR MARKETING For the most part, fanners and poultry raisers who keep Leghorn chickens pay most attention to the production of eggs. They think of eggs ns the chief end of poultry keeping. My experience has been that by paying a little more attention to the fattening and marketing of Leghorns, the Income from this source can Ub considerably Increased, says a writer In the Suceessful Farming. Especially Is this true when marketing broilers. Leghorn broilers fatten easily when confined und force fed for about two , weeks. They will consume about two pounds of feed during this time afid should show a gain In weight of f to of a pound. There are two methods which have employed In fattening broilers. These are pen and crate fattening. The simplest and most logical method for farm conditions I have found Is pen fattening. Following this method, the birds are confined In small pens when about one and one-hal- f pounds In weight and are fed the following mash : 25 pounds cornmeal, 15 pounds middlings, 8 pounds meat scraps, and salt. This Is fed as a wet mash by adding sour milk, buttermilk, or skjra milk. The birds are fed this mash three times a day and are permitted to eat for half an hour at a time, when the nneaten portion Is rempved. It Is Important that the Intervals between the feedings should be os nearly equal as possible. The object of feeding this wet mash . Is to get the birds to eat large amounts of food so they will make maximum gains In the shortest time. Corn meal and milk In any form should be the foundation of any good fattening mash. It should also be remembered that when milk Is used In fattening fowls, not a too large amount of meat scraps should be used. One reason for the wide spread In prices paid for Leghorn broilers and those of the heavier breeds Is because the Leghorn, being more active, will not take on flesh as readily as the heavier breeds when on free range. one-hal- three-fourth- s , , . Roosters Can Be Sold Now, Says J. H. McAdanA Now that the Incubation period is over there Is no further need for roosters in the flock and all but one or two of the best male birds can be sold, advises J. IL McAdams, extension poultrymun at the Kansas State Agricultural college. Every flock owner knows, according to McAdams, that the male bird Is unnecessary so fnr as the production of market eggs Is concerned. Mule birds now represent Just so many extra months to feed, he says. The hitch to selling male birds comes largely from the price consideration, according to McAdams, who says that when these birds were chased Inst fall or early winter they were valued from $2 up to possibly $10 each. Today with old roosters commanding 16 cents a pound an exceptionally high price prevails, but as soon as the old roostetrs start moving to market the price will drop probably to about 10 cents a pound. Even though old roosters were such a drug on the market that he could not aell them at all, no farmer could afford to keep them In Ills flock.M McAdams warns. "To live, a rooster must eat and th feed bill on each Individual one will be at least 10 cents a month, making a total cost of at least SO cent to hold the old birds over until Feb- ruary." Poultry Hints The results of chickens eating carrion or spoiled feed are tluiberneck or Indigestion. Egg eating Is a vicious habit nnd the best method to combat It Is the slaughter of the offending birds.

Poultry diseases spread principally It the birds eating dead diseased birds, by contattilnated air, through drinking water, ami f (llseased through the droppings In four wuys: Summer pruning, which .consists in pinching and disbudding, is the most logical method of directing "the growtfl of trees. When proper attention Is given to this practice amputation 6t branches will be unnecessary and the consequent Injury Incident to pruning will be eliminated. , ,,p The perfection of summer pruning for the complete control and , provides disposition of growth without Involving any material removal of foliage. When the extreme terminal bud of a growing shoot Is removed growtH In that direction will be checked without Injury to the plant. The vitality of the plant Is then distributed properly without being wasted In the production of wood thnt Is to be cut away the following winter. However, rude and Careless destruction of summer foliage, like the cutting away of long shoots on a grapevine, will often lead to Injury, It Is certain that full and perfect maturity depends on a full growth of healthy, matured foliage. When the terminal bud of a branch Is pinched out It not only arrests growth In thnt direction but Induces the development of lateral shoots' where ft more active extension Is needed. DIsbuddlug mdy also be extended to lnclnde any superfluous buds, flowers or shoots at any place on a stem or branch In order to divert sup Into those Rhlch are stronger and are required to remain either for the production of branches, fruits or flowers of superior quality and size. . This must always be done In early stages of growth before the shoot removed has developed to any great extent. . The branches of flgj, peuches and vines are usually so full of young shoots and fruit buds In early spring that If all were allowed to remain the result would be a dense thicket of useless branches. Many of such shoots die without further attention from the grower, but any useless growth will be made at the expense of the ripening fruit or the remaining wood. By keeping In mind the principles of summer pruning the difficulties in proper training of an ornamental hedge will be largely eliminated. It Is the pinching back of strong, upright branches that makes a dense hedge, with numerous lateral branches near the ground. Neither California privet nor barberry should require much winter pruning after the first year. " By Reading Experiences of Other Women Mrs. Nina Matteson, Box 206, Oxif Jt had not been ford, N.

Wise apple growers will so handle their orchurds that they will produce apples of the highest color. Irof. F. C. Sears, head of the department of pomology at the Massachusetts 'Agricultural college, recently outlined five methods by which apples with high color enu be produced. "First, keep the tree open enough to let In sufficient light. Second, space the trees widely enough In the orchard so thnt they may get plenty of light ; or If fillers have been used, remove them before they crowd so much as to give poor color. Third, use fertilizers more carefully so us to obtain ' the proper degree of growth for good color without too much foliage. Fourth, adapt our varieties to our soils In order to get the best color. One soil will give highly colored Butd-klnbut poorly colored fruit of some other variety. Fifth, thin the fruit. "Color Is chiefly dependent on maturity and sunlight. To get good color, maturity should be hastened by avoiding the use of undue amounts of nitrogenous fertilizers, by sod culture where practicable, by stopping cultivation eurly, and by using cover crops. Utilizing sunlight to the best advantage Involves pruning to open up the tree und thlnulng to expose surface to the sun." PM Filipinos Hold Firmly to Belief in Witches TWO WOMEN lUDV fisher J a |
