Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH CARE OF PULLETS INFLUENCES EGGS VALUE OF TRENCH ' SOIL IN FEEDING t Fowls Should Be Developed Many Advantages Outlined Gradually to Save Vigor. by Colorado - Expert. i Their care and management largely determines the egg production to be expected from pullets through the winter months. To force the growth of pullets by .the continuous use of a heavy protein diet is poor parctice, says O. C. Ufford, extension poultry specialist of the Colorado Agricultural college. They should develop gradually so as to have body vigor for the long and continuous period of heavy egg production. - The normal" growing period for breeds. of the Leghorn type is from five to six months when properly managed and fed, Ufford points out 'Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds require from one to two months longer for their normal growth. ' V A good plan of management Is to hatch early and start feeding a growing mash when the chicks are three or four weeks old, and continue It until they are three or four months old. When the pullets comb begins to turn a bright red is good Indication to cut down on animal food. After this, a slower growth of the egg organs is desired. . It can be secured by elimination of the milk and the meat meal In the mash. For one to two months prior to the time it is desired to bring the pullets into production, Ufford recommends a ration as follows : ' Corn meal, 85 pounds ; ' ground . wheat, 50 pounds ; ground barley or oats, 10 pounds, and bone meal, 5 pounds. With such a ration they will pnt on body weight and fat They will go into winter egg production with greater vigor and vitality as a result .

In handling birds during the summer months, great care should be taken, too, not to frighten them or cause them to be overheated during n the culling process.

It is the accepted antidote for ' Advantages obtained by feeding silage to live stock, and suggestions an for constructing inexpensive trench silo are outlined by E. J. Maynard, associate animal husbandryman at the Colorado Agricultural college. Tears of experimental feeding have clearly indicated that corn or cane silage is a valuable growing and fattening feed for live 6tock. Siloing the crop offers a method of conserving it indefinitely and also renders hard woody portions of stalk soft and palatable. Where nearly 50 per cent of drj bundle fodder may be wasted when fed directly to live stock, practically 100 per cent of the same crop converted Into silage will be consumed. Thus silage offers an k enormous saving to feeders. With all the favorable results secured with silage there are very few silos In the regions. This is believed to be principally due to the cost of building silos and the cost of filling them. A remedy to this situation has been found in the trench silo and machinery for cutting up forage crops into wagons in the pain. It always helps; it never harms. Quick relief when you've a headache, or cold; or are suffering front neuralgia or neuritis. Rheumatic pains yield, too, if you'll only give these tablets a chance. But you want genuine Aspirin, so look for the Bayer Cross on every tablet The box always hears the name Bayer and the word "genuine-- ' printed in red.

It is generally from 12 to 14 feet wide, about 6 to 8 feet deep and as long as necessary to hold the crop. If possible, it should be built in gravelly, soil, and the sides should slope gradually toward the center. ; The cut-uforage is packed into this trench silo by driving over it with teams or a tractor. It should be moist enough to pack well. It can be sealed best by covering it with about a foot of dirt. The silage is fed from one end, where the feeding surface is kept as even as possible. Plans for building trench silos may be secured from the extension service of the agricultural college. well-drain- Another Year Fritz Dad, you are a lucky man. Father How Is that?

To make sure you are starting right when desiring to enter any state with live stock, it Is always best if time permits to address a letter to the state veterinarian of that state and address it to the capital city of that state.
