Since efficient production comes through continuous selection some culling may be needed each month in the year, but the most rigid culling should be made to ward the end of the laying period. This usually occurs from July to November and the flock should be watched carefully during July and August for early molters. Hens that molt in June, or August should be taken from the flock and dis posed of as soon as molt appears or production ceases. . Q. Should a dairy cow be given a grain ration during the dry period? A". If there is plenty of good pasture available and the animal lis in good flesh no other feed will be necessary, but the animal should have free access to a good mineral mixture unless the grazing is le gume crops or hay is being fed. .11 the pasture is short or the cow in poor flesh enough concentrate should be fed to put the animal in good flesh before freshening. How ever, all high protein grains and corn is usually removed from the grain ration about two weeks le fore freshening. A good grain mix ture to feed during this period- is composed of equal parts of.' wheat bean and ground oats.

HASTINGS He was never a man to pout, Nor had he any thought of doii'bt ; Though in the spirit of a prince, He was a man of common sense. A friendly hand to all he met, And that is one we won't forget. While I had known him just a while, . I've never seen a better smile. Nor met a finer brother here, Since he was filled with joy and cheer ; And peace sublime for young and old, . . And fellowship yet he was bold. Without any idle, silly streak, On every clay throughout Uie week He met hi$ task as it was given, But now he's through and gone to heaven. By Troy F. Horn.
