ANIMALS NEED i WARM WATER Should Never Drink Water at Freezing Temperature as it Lowers Vitality. i ■- One of the most expensive ways a farmer can heat water for his livestock- is to let the animals drink it cold and warm it with their bodies. Giving the animals water a L . freezing temperature lowers their vitality, and seriously curtails the production of dairy cattle, said Prof. R. H. Ruffner, head of the State College animal husbandry depart ment. “Can you imagine a beef animal fattening, a calf growing, or a cow producing large quantities of milk after becoming thoroughly chilled and shivering for an hour in over coming the effects of 10 to 20 gal lons of ice cold water?” he asked. He estimated that a cow produc ing 25 pounds of milk a day burns up more than a pound of corn in warming the water she drinks when it is taken into the body at freezing temperature. At the State College dairy barn, where water is supplied at a mod erate temperature, there are seven cows producing more than 50 pounds of milk a day. The food burned to warm the water is needed to maintain the animal’s vitality, nromote growth, nnd to produce milk, Prof. Ruffner pointed out. To attain her full milk-produc ing capacity, he added, a cow should be given all the fresh water she will drink at a temperature of 70 degrees. If the water is too cold, she will not drink enough to maintain a full milk flow. The resulting loss may be far more than the slight cost of pro viding animals with water from which the chill has been taken. BLACK LOCUSTIS GOOD FOR LAND Not Only Protects Soil, Hut Pro vides High Quality Timber. Steep, eroded lands may be brought back into production with black locust as a timber crop. Black locust not only protects the soil but it also provides high duali ty timber for posts, poles, and fi-e wood, says R. H. Page, Jr., assist ant extension forester at State Col lege. Page said that an excellent ex ample of reclaiming a badly erode! mountain side in Averv County is located on the farm of J. L. Hort lev. Ten vears ago Hartley seatt ere! black locust seed pods on a fielt that was too steeo to produce wheat corn, or tobacco. a"d was rapidly eroding while lving idle. He continued broadcasting seeds each year until at present there ar’ 15 acres of land growing locusts from three to ten years of age. The trees range from six to 25 feet in height. This winter Hartley is thinning out the timber by removing all de formed and trees from j the older f’-dds. This will orovidn| more room for +he t’-ees which will later be used for posts and poles. The wood removed is being used for fuel. Hartley is also seeding burned over woodlands near •us home with different varieties of tree seed, in cluding poplar, ash, and northern red oak. Planting trees on there burned over areas holds the soil in place mmmmmmmsam jSSI ** v • A NEW HORIZON .... WITH NEW BEAUTY BLACK storm. Raging wat ers.

The novice who enters the poul try business with expectations of : making easv money is doomed to almost certain failuure. Poultry raising requires long hours of work and study, careful attention to detail, and a persis tence that refuses to admit defeat, said Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State College poultry department. I Too often, he said, urban dwell -1 ars invest large sums in placing buildings and equipment r.p a poul i try farm, then purchase low-prices chicks and attempt to run the farm with the cheapest lab'W obtainable ! Only bv a mi’-acle. he declared 1 can such a venture succeed. Before any one. city man o~ farmer, goes into the poultry busi j ness, Pearstvne added, he should I consult, the local farm agent, then visit a number of successful poul try farms to see how they are run The beginner should start off with a cornparativelv small num ber of birds.

Good chicks cost only a few cents more to start with, while inferior chicks cost many dollars in lost fWofits later on. Before setting up a poultry farm, ascertain whether there is a good market for eggs and chickens. There is no point to poultry raising unless the products can be sold readily. Study measures for controlling parasites and the common poultry diseases, Dearstyne continued; feed' carefully but amply, exercise sani tation at all times, and cull rigidly.
