Timely Farm Questions Question: How can I tell whether or not my chickens have worms? Answer: Unless there is a heavy infestation it is difficult to determine the presence of internal parasites, but where the birds are heavily infested there is usually an extremely heavy appetite, the birds are thin and often a leg weakness will appear. Where these condition? appear it is safe to assume that the birds are infested. Wheen the birds appear listless and there is any doubt as to the trouble it is best to open up several of the subnormal birds and examine the intestines for worms. Question: At what age should I breed my young heifers? Answer: There is no arbitrary age for breeding heifers. This is usually determined by the maturity of the animal. Heifers that are fed grain liberally in addition to the roughage will mature more rapidly than those on a limited grain ration. Then too, the breed has a bearing on the freshening time. Jersey and Guernsey heifers, if properly grown out, should be bred to freshen from 24 to 30 months of age. The Holstein and Ayrshire heifers should freshen v>hen from 27 to 32 months old. Question: How can I rid my rose bushes of the small lice that are killing the plant*?? Answer: The aphis of "plant lice" can be controlled fcy the application of a 40 percent nicotine sulphate spray, or by applying a dust made by mixing 12 ounces of the nicotine sulphate solution with two pounds of hydra ted lime and eight pounds of dusting suphur. The 40 percent nicotine suphate is a commercial mixture and, when used a~> a spray should be mixed with water at the rate of one teaspoonful to three quarts of water. The small insect known as the thrip is also particularly harmful to roses and may be controlled with same insecticides. o ?

The Cherol Gives Rate of Payment I For Perennial Grasses Hates of class II, or soil-building, payments offered North Carolina 1 farmers for seeding perennial grasses c 1 under the new farm program have $ been announced by Dean I. 0.

VHHBHHK! kee Scout, Murphy, Nortl [aood Sires Pay Sheep Growers Tests conducted at the North Caroina Experiment Station have proved I onclusively that lambs sired by a1 rood purebred ram will bring around wo dollars more per head that lambs ired by a scrub ram. The sire is half the flock says ohn E. Foster associate in animal lusbandry investigations at the Exteriment Station. Since the breeding season has aleady started in eastern Carolina nd is rapidly approaching in the vestern counties, Foster explains that nuch time and thought should be givn the kind of rams which will be ised in farm flocks. The ideal ram for North Carolina, e points out, is a purebred mutton ype with a broad deep body and such evelopment of the head, neck, legs, nd body parts that the whole Conor mation suggests symmetry, thickess, compactness, and quality. In I ddition, the ram should be of good | ize, masculine, rugged, thrifty, and ave a desirable fleece, especially if ny of his ewe lambs are to be kept i the flock. It is highly important, Foster cxlains, that the ram as well as the we be in a strong vigorou condition uring the breeding season. If they i*e not, immediate steps should he ikon to get them so, either by proding better pasture or feeding sonic ain. When the flock is in a strong gorous condition the lambs will be j irlier, more uniform in age, strong-j M ni Mrth c?* uaui, aiiu more twins will re-J lit.
