Swat the Rooster
Is New Slogan for
Conserving Eggs
Roosters not needed as breeders should
be put in the same class as flies when
it comes to swatting. 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.

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 .
