County assessor announces arrangements have been virtually completed for the purchase of rights of way for the new road extending from Price east for nineteen miles. MOSCOW, Sufficient Feed, Shade and Fresh Water Needed. To maintain high milk production during the summer, it Is necessary that the dairy cow have sufficient feed, plenty of shade and a good supply of fresh water. "As the summer advances, the grass gets dry and short and Its content changes from high protein and low fiber to low protein and high fiber," says J. A. Arey, extension dairyman at the North Carolina State college. "This condition necessitates the feeding of more grain with a high protein content together with silage or a soiling crop. Grain feeding during this period should be as heavy as during the winter months. Hot weather will generally decrease milk production and Mr. Arey suggests that the animals have ample shade during the hot part of the day. Around cities, where the pastures and lounging lots are small, he advises that the milking herd be stabled during the middle of the day. Flies are also a source of great annoyance to cows in summer, and Mr. Arey says unless some method is used to combat them the best results from the herd cannot be obtained. Flies are controlled easiest by destroying the breeding places, he says. Stalls and pits should be cleaned at least once each week and the manure hauled from the barn direct to the field. Any accumulation of litter or garbage furnishes ideal breeding places for flies and should be cleaned up as often as possible. Because it is impossible to destroy all flies in the larvae stage by cleaning up the breeding places, it is necessary to use poison, fly traps and sprays to kill off the younger brood after hatching, recommends Mr. Arey. fur-fth- er Sweet Clover Pastures Favored for Dairy Cow NISBET, Extension Dairyman. Kansas State Agricultural College.) Sweet clover when planted in a rotation of corn and grain crops may be utilized to advantage by dairy cows Sweet clover planted In the spring in an oat crop may be ready for light pasturing in July. One or two cows may be kept on an acre for the balance of that year. The following season the sweet clover will offer early pasture. It will last through the hot dry season. Second year sweet clover (By J. C. pasture should furnish pasture for two or three cows per acre. Sweet clover as a convenient night pasture is of value to many dairymen. A practice very commendable Is to provide an oat straw stack in the sweet clover pasture. Cows showa desire for some dry feed. The feeding of dry alfalfa hay before turning out to pasture reduces damage from bloat It is important that cattle become accustomed to the taste of sweet clover while the stems are still small. A bitter element, coumarin, develops in more mature sweet clover to which cows may object. Well Developed Yearling Bull Ready for Service At about a year old, the bull is ready for light service. Three services twenty days apart for the first two months will prove about the maximum If the bull Is to be kept in long service. At eighteen months ten services about fifteen days apart, and at two years twenty services eight days apart will cause no harm. The bull in full service needs just about the same amount of feed as the cow in milk. This means that a grain allowance of from four to eight pounds a day is necessary. On lighter serv' ice, of course, the lower limits of grain are satisfactory. 1 1 1 M-l-H-- 111 I 11 1 l"H"M"M-H-- H Dairy Notes 111 be fed should feeds Highly flavored to milk cows after milking, instead of before.

Eastern states have an advantage in growing turkeys, with the development of new methods and the closeness to market, providing they send high quality turkeys to market, according to Ira J. Hollar of the New York state college of agriculture. In the Middle West many small flocks are kept as a sideline, but because of the blackhead, a disease of the intestines and liver, and low prices many of these flocks have been discontinued. The western states that have grown the most turkeys are now growing fewer and some states that have not been considered Important are now increasing their flocks. Pennsylvania shows a 25 per cent Increase in 1929 and 8 per cent more in 1930, he says. The old theory that turkeys must have plenty of range is not only false but more expensive than the new methods. It has been proved that turkeys can be profitably raised in confinement. At the Pennsylvania state college 93 per cent of all turkeys started were raised to market age when confinement was practiced. In New York state the Jeffers method of partial confinement has also proved satisfactory. Many of these new suggestions about raising turkeys are quest to the mailing Agriculture, Ithaca, for New York state available There has to be something in the balloon besides hot air.

TtrrrrrrTy.-.'.:- , Housing Early Pullets Helps Egg Production BLUE SEAL CLEANSER Wonderful Sanitary Household Cleanser and Water Softener SOLE DISTRIBUTORS Prof. Willard C. Thompson of the New Jersey station gives the follow- ing sensible advice about getting pullets into their laying houses : When the combs of pullets begin to turn red, it is time to make the laying houses ready for them. Then, if moved into their new quarters promptly, these birds usually can be depended upon to add to the poultrymans income at a time when the hens are slackening their efforts. pullets Space for the can be found in the laying houses by removing market hens and culls, and concentrating the survivors In fewer d peps. Pens reserved for the incoming pullets should be cleaned, disinfected and supplied with litter. Space may be allotted at the rate of four square feet a bird, and, once the pullets are in their new quarters, they should be kept- confined to the pens. The regular laying rations are advised for the pullets as they go into winter quarters. - Art of Caponizing Is Profitable Operation Poultry raisers who can spare a little time should study up the art of caponizing. Capons demand a good price upon the- market, and are always in good demand. The operation process is easily learned and is so profitable that it pays any poultry-mato try his hand at it. The slips are not lost, and if you kill a few by practicing you can sell the carcass on the market or use it for home consumption. Of course it is necessary that you have proper tools to do this work, but these can be purchased at poultry supply stores anywhere. - n This is the third successive year of subnormal water supply in Snake river and the American Falls and Jackson lake reservoirs.

If poultry owners are In earnest about building up a flock of pure breds and keeping them up to the mark as layers and breeding fowls, they will soon begin to make mor,e money. Potatoes are not a good poultry food for summer, because they contain too much substances; but a proportion may be used with advantage when the weather is cold. heat-givin- g During the hot weather leave doors and windows open in the poultry house to give all possible comfort to the flock. Good ventilation is not confined to expensive poultry houses. An effective system can be devised cheaply for any house. Before putting the birds in range shelters, the cockerels should be separated from the pullets, and' this is done when they are eight or ten weeks of age.
