Good Chance to Recreate
Perfect Housewife.
Almost any sort of farm produce
which is used for food can be sold at
the wayside market. Fruit lswell adapt
ed to roadside selling: vegetables come
next: while fruit Juices, honey, eggs,
poultry, baked goods, flowers, Jains,
and jellies have all been sold success
fully.
City residents like to buy directly
from the farmer, which Is one reason
for the Increase In the number of
roadside markets. Another reason It
that wholesale prices to farmers have
been so much lower than retail prices
that farmers have made money from
direct selling. However, the best way
to discourage buyers Is to charge un
reasonable prices. It Is unwise to
charge as much as the city retail price,
but farmers must receive more than
the wholesale price to afford to op
erate a stand.
Prices should also vary with the
grade. It Is always desirable to sep
arate produce Into different grades,
for there are buyers for each quality.
Prices may be set according to the
prices In the nearest city, with due
allowance for distance buyers must
come, the grade of produce, and the
size of the container. The most profit
able roadside market business com»*«
from repeat customers, who also are
willing to recommend the stand, the
produce, and the proprietor to their
friends and neighbors.
Tree Windbreak Saves
Soil Blowing Damage
Severe damage to farm lands by
strong winds that sweep great quan
tities of valuable top soil from fields
may he materially reduced by planting
windbreak's of trees, or by early spring
or fall listing.
Planting cross windbreaks of one or
two rows of trees at quarter-mile In
tervals at right angles to prevailing
winds Is suggested by Fred IL John
son. regional forest Inspector of the
forest service In Denver, and State
Forester W. J. Morrill at the Colorado
agricultural college.
Ruch windbreaks would be In addi
tion to shelterbelts around farm build
ings. Cross windbreaks at quarter
mile Intervals would furnish protec
tion against soil blowing for a dis
tance of about ten times the height of
the trees on the windward side and
about 15 to 20 times on the leeward
side investigations have shown. As
the trees gr-w taller they would pro

Ing areas.
Poultry Expert in Warning
Against Blackhead.
When young turkeys have reached
the age of from eight to ten weeks,
move them out to range shelters on
clean ground which was free of all
poultry, turkeys or poultry manure
during the previous year. A good
range will afford plenty of green feed,
shade and fresh clean water.
“At thl* keason of the year, growers
usually begin to have trouble with
their poults.” says C. F. Parrish, poul
try extension specialist at North Caro
lina State college. ••Blackhead be
gins to develop and this comes. In
most cases, from laxity In sanitation.
Success with turkeys is dei>endent
upon careful management of the grow
ing poults. Fresh rang*! Is essential."
Parrish says much attention must
also be given to supplying the right
kind of feed. In general, poults have
the same nutritive requirements as
chicks. A complete growing ration Is
necessary for best results. Such a ra
tion will Include animal protein,
grain, milk, green feed, minerals and
water. Milk Is useful during the first
six weeks
The same commercial feeds recom
mended for chicks may be used with
poults. However, one mash hopper
five feet long Is needed for ench 75
poults. Two one-gallqn water founts
are also needed for this number of the
birds. Place the mash hoppers and
water founts on wire covered frames
made from 2 by 4 timber.
It requires about 00 jiounds of feed,
exclusive of green feed, to fulfill tho
requirements of a poult during the
first seven months of Its life. By that
time, the poult should weigh from 12 to
14 pounds Always keep turkeys and
chickens separate»!, he advises.

Sand for Young Ducks
To hatch a brood of ducks with a
hen has always been an Interesting
stunt with young poultry keepers. The
ducklings themselves are most engag
ing In their ways, and the concern of
the mother hen over their taking to
the water Is amusing. In many cases
the pleasure of the owner Is spoiled
by what seems an unaccountable inor
tallty among the ducklings. Fed the
same as young chickens they are apt
to collapse within a day or two. The
common cause of this Is that the
feed is too rich for them. They are
voracious feeders, and when they fill
up with a grain mash are apt to have
acute Indigestion. The usual method
of preventing this is to put coarse
sand In the mash the first few days.
A good big handful to a quart of mash
Is sufficient. Mix thoroughly and let
the ducks eat all they want.
Weight of Pullets

Red and Wyandotte pullets should
