Care exercised in keeping poultry yards clean and in sanitary condition (Prepared ' by has a double function in keeping the flock clear of parasites that undermine the health and sap the vigor of the birds. The injury by mites, lice, fleas, and other parasitic organisms is sometimes obvious, but it also happens that some insects and other small creatures are carriers or intermediate hosts of some of the internal parasites of poultry. For example, according to specialists In the United States Department of Agriculture, one variety of round-wormust develop for one stage of its life outside the poultry it affects. The roundworm lays its eggs within the chicken and they are eliminated in the droppings. They will not mature if picked up by a fowl. They do mature if a water flea picks up the eggs. Then if a hen takes In the water flea with her drinking water the round-worparasite of the flea dea poultry parasite. velops into Alany similar examples are known, and others are suspected. The grasshopper, for instance, has recently been shown to transmit at least one important parasite of domestic poultry. Sanitation and cleanliness which m n prevents such insects from having access to the droppings may thus break a cycle through which infestation reaches the flock. The insects In themselves may not be harmful to poultry, but if they have had an opportunity to feed on contaminated droppings they may be the means of spreading these particular parasites. Disk Before Plowing Is Advantageous Practice , It has been pretty definitely proved that pulverizing the top layer of the soil with disk harrow before plowing is done is a very advantageous practice. When the furrow is turned over the pulverized soil breaks away from the furrow and helps fill up the furrow bottom much more effectively than when the solid furrow is turned over. In the latter case large openings are often left which cause the soil to dry out rapidly and become too bard to work down well. When using a disk for this purpose, do not angle it too much. Let it run rather straight and it will do satisfac- Ik. Turned Off I SANITATION IN POULTRY YARD PERFORMING DOUBLE FUNCTION 1929. P. Co. BATTLE CREEK,' MICH.

The best time to cut soy bean hay is after the beans have become well formed, but before the beans have reached the stage known as With most forage crops the later yofl cut them the easier they are to cure. It is not so with soy beans because as soy beans mature the proportion of beans in the bay Increases. Early cut soy bean hay is much more palatable to the stock than the late cut' hay. Early cutting means reduced yield. The greatest yield is obtained at maturity when the leaves have beeun to turn yellow. half-grow- n. . -- There is no such thing as too much sweet corn.
