Jami- son, assistant dairy extension special- 1st of the college of agriculture, Uni­ versity of Illinois, where the work of these associations Is supervised. An- derson’s ten cows, three of which were dry, lacked $5.32 of [laying for th« * feed which they ate one month. The following month, after Anderson had *d adopt« some recommendations of the herd improvement association, the ten cow« »bowed a return of $30.11 over and above the cost of their feed for that month. Edward Ehredt, who Is the official tester in the herd improvement associ­ ation of which Anderson is a member, made the r« *commendations which turned the tide In the herd of ten cows. Among other things lie suggested a better ration. I'p to this time Ander- son hnd been feeding whole grains to the cows, but these were now ground. In addition each cow was fed according to her production. Previ­ ously the cows also had been forced to drtnk Ice water. Anderson started using a tank heater, and during the coldest weather carried additional wa ter to the cows. The returns which the ten cows paid over and above feed costs were In creased by a total of $35.33 in a month’s time despite the fact that there were no fresh cows in the herd during the month.

Dairy Notes Young turkeys should not be fed for 3«1 to 48 hours after they are hatched. As soon as they are active, however, on their f« *qt, they may be given, water and allowed to pick at sand or gravel. It does no harm and perhaps It Is a good Idea to give them young, tender greens, the best of which 1» perhaps short grass on the sod. The first feeds usually given are stale dry bread crumbs moistened with »weet milk. They are fed very little of this about every two or three hour». It is not a bad idea to scat­ ter a little sand in this, too. Just a little. Other feeds are hard-boiled eggs, boiled to the crumbly stage, mashed and sometimes mixed with bread crumbs, rolled oats that have been rubbed in the hand» to make them a little finer, etc. i'lnhead oatmeal and chick feed, usually called chick starter, are also good feeds to give in limited quanti­ ties, But with these they must have some animal food to provide the ani­ mal protein, such as milk, high grade beef scraps, etc. Milk Is the product usually used. Some use it sweet and some use it sour. Those that use it sour generally pour off the whey and feed the thick part only. Poultry Notes FOR YOUR PRODUCE VAUDEVILLE—PICTURES Children, 10 cents Any Time. INFERTILE EGGS PLAN FOR FEEDING IN LATE SPRING YOUNG DAIRY BULL Many commercial chick hatcheries are complaining about the large per­ centage of Infertile egg», according to the directors of the International Baby CMck association who met with poultry specialist» of the United Htute» Department of Agriculture. Many of the hatebea, they report, »how that Ie»« than 75 or HO per cent of the eggs available are fertile, whereas In normal year» fertility runs as high a» WO per cent or more. “Fertility 1» largely a manageinttnt problem," »ay» Dr. M. A. Juli, in charge of poultry Investigations, Unit­ ed States Department of Agriculture, “and infertility 1» due largely to the cold aud wet weather, which causes a deviation from aorrnaJ handling of the average flock. The only way that hatcher!«» can be certain of »ecuring a high percentage of fertile eggs from farmers or others Is to buy only from flock» that are properly managed. There la no practical or »cientifle method known by which Infertile eggs can be detected before incubation.” Backward weather ha» resulted in many flocks being confined to a great­ er extent than usual and a consequent lack of sutUclent exercise to Insure fertile eggs. Then, too, under confine­ ment, too many males may be a cause of low fertility. They spend too much time In fighting each other. Under normal range or yard conditions one male to fifteen or twenty hen» of the more active breeds, such a» Leghorn», Is about right. In the heavier breeds, one male to ten or twelve lien» will be required. Fewer male» than this would l*e better In each case when the birds are in close confinement. Breeding »tock should Lave a va­ riety of L-ed, consisting of grains, meat, and green feed. The green feed is especially essential If the birds are confined. Free range or exercise helps materially In the production of hatch­ able eggs. OFFERS A MARKET PORTLAND Mats. Eves. 15c 25c Continuous 1 to 11 p. m. Portland, Oregon.

To determine whether fish have a sense ot smell, carp were blindfolded 1 at the Zoological institute at the Uni- versity of Munich, in Germany. It was found that the fish refused to eat bits of meat boiled to extract every tract of odor, but when a similar piece of fireat was sweetened the carp snap­ ped it up greedily. It does not appear that the skin of the ostrich is ever used for making leather. These birds are bred for their feathers only.
