THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1934 THE FRANKLIN' PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE FIVE Your Farm - How To Make It Pay year SUMMER EGG LOSS MAY BE LESSENED A TOLL of $45,000,000 a TiS lost by the American poul try industry as a result of im proper methods of producing and handling eggs, according to data compiled by C. F. Parrish, exten sion poultryman at State College. This staggering loss can be great ly reduced by removing male birds from the flocks when not needed for breeding purposes, gathering the eggs more often, caring for them properly, and observing other methods of good flock management. Fertile eggs will start hatching when exposed to sufficient heat for a short time, but infertile eggs may be left in a temperature of 103 degrees fahrenheit for 72 hours and still be good for food. Healthy, vigorous males removed from the flock should be penned separately and saved for breeding purposes the next season. The other males should be disposed of, since they will eat more food than they are worth if kept over the non-breeding season. In hot weather, eggs, should be gathered at least twice a day in wire baskets and immediately re moved ot a cool cellar or room where the temperature is 68 de crees or less and where there is a relatively high humidity. The eggs should then be spread on a table or wire screen so as to cool thoroughly. The use of gogd nesting material and proper sanitation around the hen houses will decrease the num ber of dirty eggs produced. Many good eggs are sold at low prices simply because they do not look fresh and clean. At least 20 .nests, 12 by y2 by 14 inches, should be provided for each 100 laying hens. The nesting ma terial should be changed frequently. The Fanner's Question Box Timely Questions Answered by N. C. State College Experts Question Should a dairy cow be given a heavy ration during the dry period? Anwer During the dry period, the dairy cow restores the calcium and phosphorous taken from her skeleton during the former lactation period and it is especially necessary that a good ration be fed at this time. The ration should include minerals composed of equal parts of finely ground limestone and steamed bone meal. Two pounds of this mixture should be added to each 100 pounds of the concentrate ration. A poor ration, deficient in minerals during this period will likely result in an unthrifty calf and low milk production during the following lactation period. PLANT HAY CROPS NORTH Carolina growers are being urged by Dean L O. Schaub to produce all the hay and forage crops possible, since the drought in the Midwest has greatly reduced these crops there. Land retired from crop production under AAA contracts may be used for growing such feed crops. Local farmers who do not produce enough feed for their own needs will have to pay unusually high prices for imported feed on account of the scarcity in western states. to local conditions, and provide a market for local feeds. Mujes are preferred in this State, but farm ers should not forget that mares are necessary to the production ofj mules. A snake crawled up a San An tonia man's pants leg the other day. Dallas News.

RAISE WORK STOCK Home-raised work stock is bet ter for North Carolina farmers than animals purchased from out of the State, Earl Hostetler recommends. A good pair of mules costs more than the net income of the aver age farm family for a year. This money can be saved by raising animals at home. The home-grown animals are also better acclimated continued until the first of No vember. The most practical meth od of control, however, is to change Question My pullets show an pastures as often as possible and eye irritation with a whitish mat- drench only when conditions show ter in them.

Answer Your description indi cates a deficiency or lack of vita min A in the ration. Check the ration, being sure that yellow corn or yellow corn meal is being fed. i If the birds are confined put them an range and, if there is not suf-l ficient succulent green feed, add five per cent of alfalfa leaf meal to the ration. It would also be well to add one per cent of forti fied cod liver oil to the ration every second day until the trouble . disappears. This should be done whether or not the ration contains cod liver oil. x itmr ir SM E3fSSiS X . KVI114If 1SH jrH 1 For bettor jams and allies, buy Dixie Crystals in cotton bags. Purity assured.
