TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT COLLEGE Question: Is it possible to cure or coin lamb ns you do pork and beef? Answer: Yes. The shoulders and legs are the cuts cost fre quently corned. To each 10 pounds of lamb use one ami one half cups of salt, one-half table spoon of saltpeter, and three-quar ! ters of a cup of brown sugar. Rub salt thoroughly into the meat, eov i ering every portion, and allow to stand with the salt <m ii i'Mt 24, hours. Thc-n pour over tin- meat ; the other ingredients dissolved in a small quantity of lukewarm wa ter. Add water enough to cover the meat and allow to stand in the brine l'or three or four days. Since lamb absorbs more salt than beef, special care should be taken not to use more than the quantity spe cified. Question: What is the best grain ; mixture for a poultry ration? There are .c\eral graiio or com miiutiuii of gums that give air 1 actiiry iv nil.-., but the one imr l commonly used m all sectiuli ol Noitb l urolilia is compo cd ot till pet cent yellow corn and 4U j»«-i cent w hi a i However, ihi ation should be largely governed by what is grown on th»* farm, and the cost of tin- grain which must be purchased. Where tin re is an: abundance of heavy barley <18 lbs. to the bushel) or heavy outs (38 lbs. to the bushel) ttn-se may be substituted for a pail of the corn and wheat,but should never ex ited thirty percent of the grain mixture. Question Can helled corn u lured m bag imi wintei? Answer: If the corn is suiti- 1 i ciently dry when shelled it can be i stored in bags without damage i provided it is treated for weevil I 1 control before storage. The corn ! should be treated with carbon di sulphide and then stored in a dry: place. Where the corn is a little green it is best to wait until it thoroughly dries before shelling as the slight dampness may cause the 1 grain ntg mold.

This is especially true of those who assemble all kimls of eggs, good or bad, for hatching pur poses. said Hoy S. Dearstyne, head of the State College poultry department. “You can’t get more out of your incubator than you put into it," he declared in urging poultrymen to lie more careful in selecting eggs for hatching. Hatching eggs should come only from High quality, healthy vigor ous birds. They should be normal in shape, have well calcified shells, and weigh more than 2.1 ounces to the dozen. They should be gathered sev eral times a day and stored in a wa: n place to avoid chilling, he said, as eggs that have chilled too much will not produce good chicks, A temperature of 40 to GO degrees is best. Hatching eggs should not be kept in storage for more than sev en to ten days, bo added. The incubator should be care fully cleaned, disinfected, and tested before the egg* are placed inside. Likewise, the brooder and brooder house should be cleaned and tested before any chicks are put in to grow Dearstyne advised that the brooder should be started in op eration at least 24 hour, before the arrival of the chicks .->o a- l.| give it time to become evenly warmed throughout. Destroy subnormal or cull vhLI. -. Do not brood more than 'H)0 . hid. m uni unit, and allow a squar i fu.,1 of flooi space 1'ui every two chicks. Watch the tem perature. For overheating is even warned.
