Dairy Associations Overlooking Means of Improving Their Breeds. the United Mates Department by of Agriculture.) Dairy" breed associations in the United States are overlooking an Important means of improving their respective breeds in keeping their herd books closed to the many unregistered cows of excellent type, according to O. E. Reed, chief of the bureau of dairy Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. Speaking before the annual convention of the Holstein-Friesiaassociation in Philadelphia, Mr. Reed suggested the desirability of the national breed associations giving some study to setting up a system of registry which will permit entering in the herd books unregistered animals that have reached a high degree of purity for a high level of production. Seems Like Rank Heresy. Mr. Reed admitted this suggestion might seem like rank heresy to those who have not thought the proposition through, but he called attention to the fact that all cattle now registered sprang from the common herd. Moreover, he cited figures showing the very slight difference existing between the production of unregistered and registered commercial herds today. Of 100,000 cows tabulated by the bureau of dairy Industry, 70,000 were grades and 30,000 were registered. The grades, he said, produced 7,124 pounds of milk and 284 pounds of a year on the average, while the registered cattle averaged 7,878 pounds of milk and 303 pounds of butterfat, a difference of only 754 pounds of milk and 19 pounds of butterfat' in favor of the registered cattle. New System Is Favored. There are many unregistered animals of great productive capacity and excellent type in the United States today that could be made use of in our breeding operations with profit, he Bald. A system of registering such animals has plenty of backing, and it can be made genetically sound. Great Britain, Holland, and other countries famous for their fine herds and flocks have used such a system in the past and still follow the practice of admitting animals that have three to five top crosses of registered sires. In discussing the plan, Mr. Reed pointed out that it would not mean an immediate wholesale registration of grade cattle. If only three top crosses were required for the registration of females and all first calves in the crosses were females, which is improbable, he stated, it would take ten years to get a female registered In the herd book. g n but-terf- at When your Children Cry for Such tragic stories as come In about "poults the size of quails."

The preventive measure is to rear the turkey poults on ground that is not pastured by chicks; to give them all the sour milk they will drink, and every third week to give epsora salts in the proportion of a teaspoon each per old bird, and a half teaspoon for poults.

Kansas State Agricultural College.) Young pullets will develop into efficient egg machines if precautions are taken to protect them from parasites and diseases during the summer months and if proper feed is supplied for their development Coccidiosis is one of the enemies that must be conquered.' It usually appears when the chicks are five to ten weeks old. Symptoms are blood in the droppings. Upon internal examination, the blind intestines are enlarged and filled with a grayish, bloody exudate. Often the liver is spotted. This disease Is caused by an organism that tends to destroy the lining of the intestine. It is passed out in the droppings and carried over from year to year in the buildings and ground. To prevent coccidiosis,. move the brooder houses each year and brood on clean ground or use a sanitary platform and keep the chicks confined on the platform until ten weeks old. Keep the young and old stock separated. These precautions will usually prevent the disease. In outbreaks of coccidiosis, the treatment is to move the brooder house if possible, clean the house often, and feed large quantities of milk. If an system of feeding is being used, remove th from the mash and substitute 25 per cent dried buttermilk or dried skim milk. Feed this for about two weeks. Large quantities of milk solids in any form will be beneficial best-know- all-ma- meat-scra- p Value of Sulphur and Charcoal for Fowls sulphur as found in grain is combined with some other substance which counterbalances It There are times when sulphur Is beneficial if Judiciously administered, writes Michael K. Boyer in the Farm and Ranch. It must not be recklessly given, and never during wet or damp weather, as its use at snch times is apt to cause rheumatic troubles or a stiffening of the joints. Sulphur is a blood purifier, and often wards off disease and invigorates a system. In such cases a teaspoonful, once a week, mixed with the mash, for about twenty hens, would be about right, but even so small a quantity as this should be given only during a dry period. Charcoal consists almost entirely of carbon. It is prepared by heating wood so as to expel all the gaseous matter it contains. Ammonia is a like potas-sa- , gaseous compound-alkalin- e and is often termed spirits of hartshorn. When charcoal is properly treated there will not remain sufficient ammonia to be injurious to animal life. Any impurities that charcoal might contain would be absorbed through at mospheric conditions. So You Know Whats Coming Whats that awful humming?

It has been found, however. that this Inconsistency is probably a periodic function, so that the sun will vary from maximum to minimum in its behavior over a fixed period of years. For example, Dr. Charles SL John of the Mount Wilson observatory In California has discovered that the period of rotation of the sun has been increasing. The sun, in other words, is slowing down. In 1876 the equatorial speed of the suns rotation was 2.28 kilometers per second. In 1915 It was 1.96 and by 1928 the snn bad slowed down to 1.89 kilometers per second. It Is believed, however, that this decrease will not be constant, and that beginning In 1929 the sun will gradually pick up speed again until it reaches a maximum period of rotation within the next few years.

Mrs. Rabb Into Premature Laying It Is usually considered better not to force pullets Into premature laying by feeding large quantities of mash. Instead, limit the mash until , pullets, are quite ready to lay and, by feeding a greater amount of grain, to get them fat Such a ration emphasizes the fat making material and, by withholding fathers fiddle.

POCATELLO Satisfaction with progress of the Pocatello fish hatchery being built in the vicinity of Jimmy Drinks springs, was reported by Kiel, state fish commissioner, on a visit here recently. Exhaustive tests made along the line of backing up the water to ascertain its effect on the flow of the springs has proved satisfactory in every way. The state fish and game department proposes to plant the pond with about 50,000 trout of six inches or greater in length, and as the season advances ' to erect cottages and other buildings to work out the purposes at a first class hatchery.

If the turkeys are kept on ground that has not been used for poultry for a year or more, they will likely escape without any trouble similar to the old blackhead disease. Chickens are known to be carriers of the Insect that causes blackhead. If you keep your turkeys away from chicken yards and where turkeys have not been the year before, they will not cause yon any trouble. 1 'wSxFW iTMiPCtfnrmP 1 Lydia E.
