TIMES. WILLAMINA, OREGON Thursday, July 21, 1932 Page 5 : Who wants second-choice tires LOWER PRICES IN INFERIOR EGG NOT SURPLUS OF COWS SOUGHT BY BUYERS WHEN New York Dairy Official Is High Quality Production Is Pessimistic. Demanded. " If we do not have another drought this summer, the manufacture of dairy products will Increase, and thus lower the farmers' return." said II. A. Iloss, of the Borden company, at Cornell uni versity's furui and home week. “The farmer has not heeded the trend In the supply of cows and today Is fac ing the situation of having 41.8 per cent mors cows than In 1929.” Doctor Boss predicts, however, no material reduction In the number of cows, and perhaps even a slight In crease. “I cannot blame the farmer for not cutting his herd." he said, “because of the overhead expenses and the lowered cosi of feed. But the sit uation today Is serious. Butte.' Is now going Into storage rather than being drawn from storage." Many people seem to think thnt with the present lowered prices, demand will Increase. Doctor Boss Indicated, however, that such might not be the case. He estimates that the buying power of the people Is about one half of that In 1929. This Is due to both the unemployment situation and de creased wages of those who are work ing. In New York state the farmers are facing the sltuutlon of store sales of milk as contrasted with route sales. If more milk Is sold In stores, the farmer •will receive less for his Investment He said that the haste situation could not lie remedied now but that the farmer could help by culling his herd and aiding the control of store sales. Ration That “Fills Bill” in Variety of Proteins 8lnce some proteins are particularly rich In some amino acids while others may furnish more of some others, line protein may supplement another. We know thnt every feed a cow eats, whether roughage or grain, contal. s some protein and different proteins. It has been shown thnt the protein of alfalfu or legume hays supplements ithosn of silage and grains. The pro tein of the high protein feeds supple ment those of the grains. There Is little supplementary value between the cereal grains. From this an Iowa experiment con cludes that where a cow Is getting a ration consisting of plenty of legume liay, silage, and a grain mixture of 10-12 per cent digestible protein, her demand for protein variety Is fairly well met. With mixed hay, the grain mixture should contain from 14 to 16 per cent digestible protein, while with non legume hay It should contain 10 to 20 per cent digestible protein.—Hoard's Dairyman. Why Milk Tests Vary Milk tests vary from day to day due to perfectly normal fnctors. slate spe- lallsts at New York State college, who have tested samples of Holstein and Jersey milk to determine effects of sampling on fat tests. S«me of the factors are: Advancement of the lac tation period of the cows, which means more fat In the m ilk ; the nmount of exercise the herd receives; complete ness of milking; feeding practices; age of the cows; the breed; individual dif ference of the cows; the seasonal changes with higher tests when the temperatures are low and lower tests when temperatures are high during the heat of summer. In New York state two testers working Independently will check within 0.1 per cent In 60 per cent of the samples they test. The Babcock test Is not expected to give greater accuracy than thia. Methods of sampling have neen held responsible for dally variations, and the recent Investigation Indicate« the reasons why tests may vary even though all sampling la done uniformly. —I ’ralrle Farmer. Keeping Calves Healthy D lriy feeding pnlla are often the contributing cause of an outbreak of common scours In calves. Avoid this by scalding the palls after each feed ing. Allow the sun to shine on them during the day. Somo dairymen keep a separate pall for each calf. Over feeding Is another frequent cause of scours. Feed around one pound of milk for each ten pounds of live weight, and during the first few dnye give the calf several feeds per day. The milk fed can be gradually In creased with growth until the animal is getting around two to two nnd one- half gallons of skltn ntllk per day. Be gin giving the calf some ground grnln or other concentrate os soon ns It will eat.— Wallace's Farmer. (B y H . I l S I.P . P o u ltry K«tM)«lon Spoetai- 1st. Colica« of A srlc u ltu ra . U o lv « r- ally ol Illin o is .— W N U Sarvtea.» Fertile eggs caused by keeping roos ters In the flocks during the warm summer months have been mainly re sponsible for bad egg losses which In 1930 cost poultryincn of the atute an estimated $5,000,090. In addition to eliminating roosters. If farm flock own ers would adopt a few practical and simple practices, much of the poor quality of Illinois eggs could t>e over come and market demands for eggs from this state Imp-oved. Eggs should be gathered twice dally or, better still, three times dally In b it weather. Frequent gathering helps prevent damage by heat or cold; It saves cracking and breaking of eggs and It reduces the proportion of dirty eggs. Before being cased, eggs should be cooled, because egg cases, pads and fillers hold In any heat that already Is In the eggs. The cases of eggs should be held In a cool place, a tem perature of 32 to 60 degrees being best. On most Xarms the cellar Is the best place available. It Is satisfactory for short storage periods If It la free from strong odors and uot too damp. Eggs will keep better and will be easier to sell If they are kept clean, Changing the floor litter and nesting material before It Is too badly spoiled helps to keep eggs clean. Dropping hoards or, better still, wire-covered dropping boards also help. Crowded quarters are a common cause of dirty eggs. There should be 8 H to 4 square feet of floor space for each hen. A shortage of nests also causes broken and dirty eggs and may lead to the hublts of egg eating and of laying eggs on the floor. There should be one nest for each five hens. Feed Mixtures on Which Chickens Will Thrive A good uiash feed for chlcka, when milk Is the only drink, is mixed as follows: ISO pounds of ground yellow corn, 100 pounds of wheat bran, 100 pounds of oat flour, 75 pounds of wheat shorts or middlings and 50 pounds of high-grade meat scrap. When the chicks do not have access to green leafy feed, five pounds of al falfa leaf meal should be added to each 100 pounds of the mash, says the Dakota Farmer. I f meat and hone scrap are not used, three pounds of bone meal should be Included to each 100 pounds of mash. One pound of sifted table salt and one pint of high- grade cod-liver oil per 100 pounds of the mash should he mixed in. The cod-llver oil should be mixed with the bran first Chick size oyster shell, cal cite or high grade limestone should •Iso be kept available. FIRST-CHOICE cost no more? G oodyears are first-choice — rated first in quality by a nation-wide vote of more than 2 to 1. I j i j Goodyears are best. The public says so—the public buys so! More people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind — and have for 17 years. And as to Goodyear prices— they’re as low as you’ll pay even for an unknown or second-rate tire. In a year when everyone’s care ful w ith m oney, don’t take chances on tires. You can get the best tires that ever came from the world’s larg est rubber factory—if you stick to this simple question: Mash and Milk Mixing a part of the dry mash with milk until It Is moistened to a crum bly state greatly Increases the p a y a bility of the poultry ration. Experi ments at Ohio State university with chickens of the same breed kept under exactly the same conditions and fed the same rations, with the exception thnt a part of the ration was fed wet In one case and In the other case all o f tue ration was dry, showed an In crease In production during the year of 24 eggs per bird.— Prairie Farmer. Feather Picking The taste of blood upon freshly- plucked quills Is probnbly what keeps fowls picking at each other after something has started them. Letting them get away from each other by turning the flock out of doors Is the most certain method of stopping the practice. T a r may be daubed upon nny bleeding point about the comb or head to discourage the attackers. Bleeding follows any Injury that breaks the skin, It mny be from ac eldent or attacks.— Rural New Yorker your thin un safe tires — let them help you pay for stou t new Goodyears I Why buy any second-choice tire when FIRST-CHOICE costs no more?
