It is estimated" by the United States department of agriculture that $15,000,000 worth of eggs spoil yearly simply because they are fertile. Fertile eggs, when subjected to high summer temperature, begin to hatch just as when placed in an incubator or under a hen, and even though the pro cess continues but a short time the egg becomes unfit for food. This spoilage of eggs can be entirely eliminated by swatting, or disposing of the rooster after the breeding season is over. The campaign for the production of infertile egga has been waged several years by United States department of agriculture poultry specialists, and is beine taken jp with renewed vigor in states where summer temperatures are highest and losses are greatest. Weeks have been designated "Swat the Rooster" for the sale of surplus male birds. Enormous, quantities of roosters, not needed and being fed needlessly, have been maceted during such weeks. It Is much more : generally '' understood that hens will lay just as well without a male in the flock. Ration for Poultry j Should Contain Both Proteiji and Mineral A well-balanced poultry ration con tains the proper proportion of protein and -carbohydrates to satisfy the needs and desires of the farm fowl, while It also carries the mineral matter, bulk and palatability necessary to accomplish good feeding results. There is no best ration superior to f.ll others. - The $Jm of poultry experts and practical farm ers is to ascertain about what mixture of the poultry feed gives the best results and then to use this relative propor tion in making rations, or in substitut ing different feeds according to their price and availability. S , .. Modifications of feeding methods are so numerous that the individual flock owner' may select the method which he thinks best suited to his conditions. The average farmer feeds his. fowl on home grown grain and rarely buys commercial or mixed feeds. , Furthermore, fowl al lowed free range on the farm pick up' plenty of green feed, bugs and seeds dur ing the apring and summer, which help to balance their own ration during these seasons. v. It is also profitable to ' feed these hens any available surplus skim milk or buttermilk, which may be mixed into a mash with the ground grain and com bined with some beef .meal or table scraps during the winter when the birds can not get insects on the range.

In answering 4 advertisements mention The Journal Farm department; Young Calves Take Tuberculosis Easily Calves may become infected with tu berculosis at an early age, and any ef fort to eradicate this dreaded disease from the herd should not overlook the younger animals. Diseased stock may undoubtedly transmit the ailment to calves by association with them in the same stable or feed i lot, and even by contact through a fence which divides the younger from the older animals, say United States department of agriculture specialists in the bureau of animal in dustry. The youngest age at which depart ment veterinarians recommend testing calves for tuberculosis is six months. In special instances, ' however, numbers of animals under this age have been sat isfactorily tested with tuberculin. The present regulations of the bureau pre scribe a dose of two cubic centimeters of tuberculin for calves ranging from six months to one year of age. , ,v .
