Answer: Experimental work along this line indicates that cottonseed meal cannot be used to replace all of the animal protein concentrates in the mash, but that it can be replaced not to exceed five percent of the total mash. There is a wide variation in toxicity and feeding value of the cottonseed meals on the market and there is also a deficiency in minerals as compared with meat scraps and fish meal. It would be unwise to make any material change in the mash especially if the birds are in lay. Question: Is it too late to seed crimson clover, oats, vetch and Aus trian Winter Peas? Answer: No. Hie best time for seeding clover, vetch and Austrian Winter Peas is between September 15 and October 15 and for oats be tween October 1 and November 1. The seed bed should be finely pulver ized to a depth of three or four inches with very firm soil underneath. This will help prevent freezing out of the crop. Put in the seed with a | grain drill as this method of seeding . j gives a better stand than hroadcast- L ing. In seeding oats use an open furrow drill as this will also prevent . excessive freezing, t Question: What is the best meth . od for curing meat on the farm? Answer: There are many methods of curing meat and most of them are ’ simply variations of two principal methods—the brine cure and the dry ’ salt cure. Common salt is the basis of all meat curing and is used in ’ varying amounts in all methods. Sugar is sometimes added to give a 1 better flavor and also to counteract 1 the action of fie salt by keeping the muscles soft, where the salt alone makes them hard. The recommended formulas for both the “brine cure” and the “dry cure” are contained in Extension Folder No. 34 and copies may be had free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State Col lege. Question: Cara a breeding male be selected for the poultry flock by handling only?’ Answer: Yes-, Bat there is always Hie chance that the best male from .- handling standpoint has the poores breeding qualities. It is always best to study the performance of the par ents before selecting a male fc I , EttTj Plump drains of Wood's Porwaxd Vkstl WOOD’S FORWARD WHEAT TREATED to Insure Good Stands, Vigorous Growth, Eliminate Disease, and Increase Yields 20%.

Southern experi ment stations and growers are finding. Even with - excessive rainfall, in many sections this year rust damage has been as severe as it was during the dry weather last year. There is only one known way to ■ " poor quality ua oss amounting to : | breeding purpose. However, if the ■ j bird has to be selected by handling see that it is true to breed so far as feather pattern goes and that ho ir without any serious defect. The body should be deep in front and equally deep in the center. The head must be distinctly masculine and show good character with well developed secondary sex characters as comb, earlobes, and wattles. Be sure the bird shows high vitality and has good body weight. To protect hia reputation, -Peter Sierecki, of Milwaukee contested his wife’s divorce suit.
