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.

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
