EQQ YIELD GREATLY INCREASED
BY FEEDING ANIMAL PRODUCTS
A great Increase In our annual egg
yield may be expected when poultry
men and fanners In general recognize
the Importance of animal feeds in the
fall and winter rations for the laying
flock. The demonstration of the super
iority of feed, combinations containing
meet scrap, milk and Its products,
tankage, or fish, scran, Is one of the
most valuable additions to our knowl
edge of poultry management contribu
ted by the United States Department
of Agriculture and various experiment
stations.
Practically '. all experimental tests
have shown that these feeds will great
ly stimulate egg production, especially
during the fall and winter months.
The fact that many farmers gel no
eggs at all during this period may us
ually be attributed to a lack of essen
tial animal feed. The addition of frim
10 to 20 percent of one of those named
would. In most cases, make a remark
able difference. Which one of these
feeds should be used depends upon
local conditions and prices. They are
of about equal value when protein con
tent Is taken into consideration. The
fish meal and tankage have given just
as good results as meat scraps. Milk
Is just as good when available at a low
eost, nd fresh buttermilk and skim
milk produce good results. In some
sections condensed buttermilk and
semi-solid buttermilk have . been fed
with success.

Seven Important Fields
Crop-Bound
Croprbound is caused by over-eating
or by swallowing coarse and Indigest
ible substanecs, such as strings, long
straws and feathers. The first symp:
torn Is a loss of appetite and unavail
ing effort to swallow. The crop is
large and tightly palked. The breath
ing becomes difficult; the bird will die
If this condition continues.
Sometimes relief is given by filling
the crop with warm soda water and
gently massaging the lower part of the
gullet If It contains food, or, if not, the
part of the crop nearest to the gullet,
tmtll a part of the contents are soft
ened and may be pressed toward the
mouth. Hold the bird head downward.
Do not feed the bird for several hours
after the crop has been relieved.
One who Is skilled and careful may
operate on the crop and remove the
contents through the opening with a
pair of small forceps or a buttonhook.
The feathers around the crop should
be pulled and the skin washed wi'h a
disinfectant solution. The hands
should be cleansed and the instru
ments sterilized. Make an opening of
an Ineh In length. Wash the crop well
with warm water; close the opening
In the crop""" with white silk stlches,
making and tying each stitch sepa
rately. Then close the opening in the
kin.
Feed on milk and raw egg beaten to
gether, for two days; then gradually
change to soft mash.
Short , courses that offer Oregon
farmers who can find time to take
them the best and newest ideas in
modern farming practices in Oregon,
have been arranged by the state agri
culture college, to start January 2, at
Corvallis.
The grounds, buildings, equipment
and most of all the staff qf specialists
that have made tne Oregon college
famous the civilized world over, will
be available for use by the short course
men and women. Resources of rural
Oregon not yet recognized fully or ful
ly used, will be pointed out as well as
time will permit. Following are the
seven courses announced:
TfraotoV (mechanics, January 2 to
March 17; general agriculture, same;
dairy herdsman's course, January 2 to
June 10;dairy manufacturing, Janu
ary 2 to 27; January 28 to February
24; horticultural products, February 5
to 24; bee culture, March 19 to 24.
Full information can be had on ap
plication to the registrar.'
Dairy Herdsman's Course Unique
Men are wanted to take care of dairy
herds and handle them to get the best
returns, and they, are hard to find, so a
new course was added recently to the
O. A. C. short courses, designed to fit
men for this work. This course for the
! dairy herdsman gives practical work in
caring for the college dairy stock un
der supervision of college specialists.
Much personal supervision Is neces
sary and only a limited number of men
will be enrolled In the course. This
number has been cut down after trial,
and already several applications are in.
For particulars write P, H. Brandt,
chief of dairy husbandry, at Corvallis.
form one of the favorite breeding
places for plant bugs which are to In
jure the crops next year. " Removal of
these materials will destroy one of
the favored winter Quarters of those
Insect pests.
House ants may be most efficiently
eradicated by the use of three grains
of tartar emetic, mixed with four table
spoonsful of syrup.
Cockrbaches and fleas will be effect
ively driven out of the premsies by
scattering sodium fluoride about the
baseboards, sinks or runs frequented
by these obnoxious pests.
Farm Reminders
Pruning of apples, pears, cherries,
prunes and peaches can be begun any
time after the leaves fall in western
Oregon. In eastern Oregon pruning
had best be delayed till late winter or
early spring, to avoid the cold weath
er, which is dangerous "to pruning
wounds.v-
Looklng after the orchard spraying
equipment is advisable at this season.
Clean the sprayer with tarter and oil
the pump cylinders thoroughly. It Is
well to drain the engine to prevent
damage from freezing and store the
equipment in a protected, place ready
for spring spraying.
Flake naphthaline placed in ward
robes, under rugs or In the folds of
garments that are to be placed In stor
age will prevent the attacks of clothes
moths and beetles.
Seed stalks of radishes, turnips and
various truck crops, that have remain
ed as refuse materials in the garden,
Have You a Grape Vine?
The grape is a fruit adapted to more
conditions of climate and soil than al
most any other of the popular fruits.
Almost every family can have a grape
vine or two of a variety best adapted
to the .particular locality and soil. Or
dinarily a grape vineyard Is set out
with the plants 8 or 10 ' feet apart.
However, the best method for the
average farm" where only one or two
vines are needed is to set them out In
the fence corners, against a building or
in some other locality where they will
be out of the way and to considerable
extent utilize ground that would other
wise be valueless. Best results will
be obtained, of course, where first-class
soil conditions exist Do not make the
mistake of thinking that a grape will
grow and flourish just anywhere. The
best results always require the best
conditions and care. Vines for plant
ing should be two years old. If get In
the fall they should not be cut back
until spring, when they should be cut
to leave two good healthy buds.
Barnyard: manure Is perhaps the best
fertilizer for grapes. Grapes require
liberal quantities of phosphate and nit
rogen, both of which are found in barn
yard manure. Do-not make the mis
take of piling manure up about the
roots of the plants, but scatter it well
over a considerable area around the
base of the vine. It Is well to work
It lightly into the soil, though this is
not absoutely necessary, as rain will
leach out the food elements and wash
them into the soil, where they wilj
become .available for the roots.
Clackamas - county drainage district
No. 1, one of the areaa surveyed, in
volves approximately 400 acres ot land,
the value of which will be increased
greatly when drained. Some drained
land adjacent to this proposed drain
age district now is valued as high as
? 800 an acre, while the undrained land
Is practically worthless.
SUGAR GIVES BEES
THEIR WINTER FEED
L
RECIPES
Contributions to this column are
.invited.'
Feeding bees for winter is done near
the close of the fall brood rearng,
iusually in October. Thick sugar syrup,
one part water to one-half parts sugar.
may be v fed. Care must be exercised i
to prevent scorching the syrup. Add
one teaspoonful of tartaric acid to
every 15 or 20 pounds of sugar while
heating. Heat until the sugar is dls-;
solved.
' A faction top bucket placed bottom
up on the bars makes an excellent;
feeder. Enough small holes are punch-!
e'd in the cover to insure the emptying
of the contents in at most two days. I
An empty hive body or super placed
on top of the hive will allow room for
the feeder. Provide a cover for the
empty super. Several sheets of news
paper placed over the frames, with a
hole torn in them; to fit the feeder, will
help- conserve the heat of the colony
In cool weather. A minimum of 35 to
40 pounds of stores Is left with each
colony, although a colony will winter
better with 50 to 60 pounds, as an over
abundance seems to have a beneficial
effect.
If it becomes. necessary to feed ad
ditional stores in the winter a soft
candy or fondant made of good sugar
according to the following recipe, is
good: Sugar, 12 pounds; candymakers'
glucose, 1 pounds; water, 1 quarts;
cream of tartar, teaspoonful.-
Heat the water and add the sugar
only asfast as it will dissolve, to
avoid scorching. The glucose may be
added either before or after the sugar.
Add the cream of tartar when syrup
begins to boil. When mixture comes
to a good boil, remove and stir until
thick enough to pour Into moulds. A
standard Hoffman frame (wired) with
a thin board nailed on one side, makes
a good mould. This board may be re
moved when the candy cooW, leaving a
frame of candy that may be slipped
down next to the cluster on a warm
afternoon. This recipe will fill two
frames.
State Drainage
A report recently issued by George
W. Kable, drainage extension special
ist, indicates that promising progress
has been made toward the drainage of
the 500,000 acres in the floor of the
Willamette valley that are "badly in
need of drainage. Since August 1,
when he went on the job, Mr. Kable
has surveyed 21 different drainage pro
jects, aggregating 4,231 acres. Seven
of these projects are drainage districts.
A total of 264,030 feet of tile have been
designed and 72,980 feet of open ditch
laid out.
In addition to work on these 21 pro
jects, Mr. Kable has investigated or
otherwise given some attention or as
sistance to 29 additional drainage dis
tricts In western Oregon.

Feeding Mash To Poultry
A mash composed of ground grains
or their hyproducts and some form of
animal protein is an essential part of a
ration for both, growing chickens and
laying hens. The reason is that birds
putting on growth or producing eggs
cannot assimilate enough nutriment
from whole or cracked grains to sup
ply the maximum need. When the
grain Is ground, say specialist.3 of the
United States department of agricul
ture, little work is required of the giz
zard, and much more of the feed can
be used in making flesh and eggs.
The scratch grain part of the ration,
however, Is needed to give the gizzerd
something to do iff order to keep the
bids in health. For laying hens the
scratch grain thrown in the litter pro
vides for needed exercise.
It was once thought that the mash
should be fed wet to produce the best
results, but experiments hav proved
tha.t in spite of the slightly better pal
stability of the wet feed, the conven
ience of fee ding it dry overbalances
any slight gain in production. Feed
ing it dry is now the usual method.
Digestibility is not Increased by wet
ting.
The principal objection to the wet
mash is that it requires too much labor.
It must be moistened, then carried to
the hens once a day, and the troughs
must be cleaned after, each feeding.
Cleanliness is absolutely essential, be
cause Indigestion and diarrhea will re
sult from feeding In dirty troughs. On
the other hand, the dry mash hopper
may be filled once a week or even less
frequently, and needs no further at
tention. Hens do not overeat of dry
mash, as they sometimes do of wet
feed.
Next to the United Kingdom, Italy is
the largest importer, of American
wheet, haying received over 32,000,000
bushels in 1920, according to the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
France ranks next, with 26,000,000 for
the same year.
Shipments of sheep and lambs back
to the country for feeding showed an
Increase during the first nine months
of this year of 350,000 head, or more
than 21 per cent over the corespond-
Ing period of last year, although there
was a aecrease in marker receipts or
2,206,000 head, or nearly 13 per cent,
according to a report of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
More than a billion and a half pounds
of butter was produced in thY United
States during 1921, according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ure. This is an Increase of 10 per
cent over the production In 1920. Con
sumption increased more than produc
tion by 20,000,000 pounds, the differ-
being taken care of by imports and
