STATE COLLEGE
ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION?How can I treat a
call that has scours?
ANSWER?Leland I. Case, in
charge of Animal Husbandry Ex
tension at State College, says
scours are caused by spoiled fee^
or infectious germs; therefore, it
is of first importance to remove the
cause. The stall should be disin
fected, and the milk and other feed
cut down. Give 1 to 2 ounces of
castor oil in one-half to one pint
of warm sweet milk. For cases
that castor oil will not cure, give
a heaping tablespoonful of equal
parts of Bismuth Subnitrate and
Salol in one-half to one pint of
sweet milk or water, three times a
day.
QUESTION?What are the main
factors to look for in culling the
laying flock?
ANSWER ? Poultry specialists
at State College say the most ac
curate indication of whether or
not a hen is laying is the appear
ance of the vent. The layer has a
large, moist, and dilated vent, en
tirely white in color, in yellow
skin breeds, after several eggs have
been laid. The non-layer has a
small, shrunken, dry vent, that be

comes yellow in color in yellow
skin breeds when laying ceases.
Other factors that determine
whether a hen is laying to any
considerable extent isap pearance
of the comb and wattles, eyes,
beak, spread of pelvic bones and
condition of the abdomen. The
laying bird has a fairly large,
smooth comb usually of bright red
color and wattles that are bright
red and waxy in appearance. The
comb and wattles lose their bright
color and become shrivelled in the
non-layer. The pelvic bones usu
ally have a spread of two or three
fingers in the layer and close up
to one finger or slightly more in
the non-layer. A bird in heavy
production has a large, soft abdo
men and thin, pliable skin. The
skin feels thicker and the abdo
men becomes harder when laying
ceases.

cialist, were with us to help us

made on this tour, some of the
outstanding ones being Burton
Bumgarner's, Crawford Shelton's,
and Horace Howell's, all of Whit
tier. Mr. Bumgarner has a Grade
A dairy and is doing very good
good work in his pasture manage
ment. He has an excellent field
of alfalfa started and is using mil
let and soybeans to supplemeent
this. Mr. Shelton has quite a
few cattle at this time and is
thinking of installing a Grade A

ARE FOR PEDESTRIANS TOO!
This advertisement is presented
in the public interest by the
President's Highway Safety
Conference and the darly and
weekly newspapers of the
nation through their Press
and Publisher Associations.
Wait! The few quick seconds it"takes the light to go amber or greenmay
be the difference between life?and death!
- Traffic lights aren't just for drivers, they're for pedestrians, too. They
are your signals of safety. Drivers and traffic officers expect you to obey
them. Yet in 1946, over 2,800 persons were killed ^intersections. In addition,
more than 4,000 jaywalked into the Hereafter between intersections. From,
all causes, 12,200 pedestrians?men, women and children?were given a ride
to the morgue! They died at the rate of 33 every day.
Fantastic? Sure, but deadly true.
?
Of pedestrians killed who were old enough to drive, only 10% ever drove
a car. That may be one reason why pedestrians have to be told, again and
again, that traffic lights and all safety regulations are for them too. They
have never experienced the responsibility of driving.
If you are a pedestrian, learn tj^ cross with the lights, never run cut
from behind parked cars, or cross between intersections. Don't stand in the
street cr highway. Always be alert. \
