Feed grain production is 13 per cent larger than last seasons and about 7 per cent more than average production, says the bureau of agricultural economics in a report on. the feed outlook. Large supplies of wheat are reported available also for feed purposes. Prospective demand for feed commercial grains and for feeds will be about the same as that of last year, it is expected. The prospective demand is gauged on the basis of a down trend in numbers of ' horses and mules, an increase in the number of dairy and beef cattle on farms tills year, Increased feeding of cattle, a reduction of about 7 per cent in the 1932 spring pig crop, a decrease of 8 per cent in the 1932 lamb crop, and a decrease in the number of hens and pullets in farm flocks. The bureau says that the low level of income from this years crops and feeding operations, and liberal supplies of relatively cheap feed grains and wheat, limit the demand for straight and commercial mixed feeds. Gross income from cash crops continues at a low level, with supplies large, and returns from live stock and live stock products may be somewhat less than a year ago. Available credit supplies to finance live stock feeding operations the coming year, however, will probably be larger than during last year. . How to Protect Sheep From Stomach Worms Lambs that remain small and unthrifty at the close of the pasture season very likely are fnfested with stom- worms, and could .be greatly helped by drenching them with a solution of blue stone or copper sulphate, advises W. E. Morris, extension live stock specialist, Minnesota University farm. There is no reason, he says, for any sheep man to become discouraged if stomach worms appear. These parasites may be expected in any flock, he says, and losses are al- -' most inevitable unless proper control measures are carried out In general, stomach worms may be controlled by the regular yearly rotation of pastures and by frequent drenching.

Work of the New York State College of Agriculture cites the example of Tidy, a cow used in the protein experiment herd at the college, bought four years ago as a Tidy, he says, was thin and had never had her full growth. The first year her high days jnilking was 50 pounds of milk. She was fed well during the first dry period, and in other dry periods, so that she gained about 250 pounds in weight. The second year her high days milking was 60 pounds, and this year, as a her high days milking was 90 pounds. Tidys case shows that it is important to develop heifers when they are young 'if real cows are desired when they freshen. The first four years in the experimental herd should have been Tidys best years if she had been well grown and fully developed, Mr. Work points out.

It is reported that much Idaho grain is being held on the farms for higher prices.- It is much more difficult to reduce the temperature of the creamy layer of milk in the top of a milk can than that in the bottom, and yet it is the top layer that needs the most rapid cooling. The cooling of a can of milk, set In a tank of water, proceeds as follows: The warmer milk in the can that is being cooled, because it is lighter, rises to the top along with the fat globules of cream. For the same reason, the warmer water next to the can rises to the top. As the warmer milk rises, it picks up bacteria, so that the top layer soon contains a higher bacterial count than the lower layers. And when a can of milk at 95 degrees F. is put in water at 50 degrees, the water close to the can at once starts rising toward the top, where it tends to spread over the surface. This layer increases until in half an hour a layer 2 inches deep will be found to be from 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the water at the bottonl This explains why the layer of milk and cream at the top not only contains a larger proportion of bacteria than the lower layers, but also why it is the most difficult to cooL It further explains why the occasiqnal stirring of milk In the can, as well as water in the tank, when the can is first placed therein, brings about more rapid cooling of the milk.

The range for turkeys to be fattened should be restricted, because excessive exercise on a free range prevents the birds from putting on flesh as they should. A mash of ground feeds should be kept before them all the time, in hoppers. Any of the grains that are raised in the state, such as corn, wheat, oats or barley, may be used in this mash, which may be composed of equal parts by weight of the grains available. In addition to mash, the turkeys being fattened should receive whole grain in the mornings and evenings. Some growers prefer to put the whole grain in hoppers and keep it before .the birds at all times. It may require some time before the turkeys take to grains they have not been used to, and any change in the ration of the flock should be made early enough that the birds will become accustomed to the change before the fattening period starts. Milk, if available, should be kept before the flock being fattened. It is also a good practice to soak some of the' whole grain in milk before feeding it Fright Often Cause of Eggs With Soft Shells Fright is often the cause of internally broken eggs which generally prove fatal.

Whether a flock of pullets has gone to nerves or not may determine whether they will yield a profit or a loss. Since fright may lead to serious conditions and losses, how can it be prevented? Simply by special care and management When pullets are given no cause for fear they soon welcome the companionship of the care-taker or even visitors if due care and precaution are exercised.
