ALL-MASH RATION
FRENCH WEED IS
TOUGHEST PLANT
GIVEN APPROVAL
All-mash poultry rations, for both
growing chicks and laying hens, arc
suggested In the most recent bulletin
on poultry procedure Issued by the
extension service of the Ohio state
university, “The newer idea of poul­
try feeding favors the feeding of ail
the ingredients ground, mixed, and
fed as a mash." says Prof. A. I t Win­
ter, of the poultry husbandry depart­
ment of the university, author of the
bulletin.
“The method Is simpler, more sani­
tary. and more economical in the use
o f the feed than where the ration Is
fed partly as scratch grain and partly
us mash. Since birds prefer a granu­
lar mash to one finely ground. It Is
advisable no! to grind the ingredients
any finer than is necessary to prevent
the chickens from picking over the
material and taking out what they
like best."
Two "starting and growing" rations,
both ot them all-mash, are listed in
the bulletin. Three all-mash rations
and one scratch grain and mash ration
are suggested for laying hena.
The first starting and growing ra­
tion. a mash, consists of:

Skim milk instead of water is given
to drink during the first eight or ten
weeks. Other forms of milk may be
substituted.
The first ration suggested for laying
hens is:
French weed, said to be the tough­
est member of the mustard family,
is under the dairyman's ban for the
reason that It gives a garlic-like flavor
to milk, cream, and finished butter
when dairy cows are kept on pastures
where the weed flourishes or are fed
contamltaated mill feeds. Only recently
a shipment of tainted butter originat­
ing in Minnesota had to take a dis­
count of $2.75 a tub of 00 pounds
when sold on an eastern market.
Dairy division men of the University
o f Minnesota will conduct an experi­
ment to convict the weed scientific­
ally and to determine Just how much
o f It can be fed In hay to the cow
without tainting her product. They
will study the matter of pasture regu­
lations that will eliminate the danger
of contamination to the minimum.
Finally they will try to determine
what treatment, if any. can be given
the milk to remove the objectionable
flavor.
According to botanists, french weed,
or pennycress, Is an unnunl like wheat,
o f winter or spring. The severest
cold does it no harm. and chemical
sprays that make other members of
the mustard family curl up and die
do not fare It. It cannot be crowded
out by farm crops for It likes to do
all the crowding Itself. A single pod
smaller than the head of a thumb tack
carries a dozen or more seeds, seeds
which have such astonishing vitality
that they will live for years In the
soil and develop plants in dense tim­
othy sod.

Large Road Signs Tell
of County’s Good Bulls
'W ater Is given to drink. If milk is
available, the meat scraps in the ra­
tion may be reduced to five pounds.
The bulletin discusses 21 feeding
materials for poultry, with reference
to their constituents and the particu­
lar feeding purpose for which they
are available. It is entitled "Poultry
Feeding Stuffs and Rations” and may
be obtained by writing to the agricul­
tural publications department of the
Ohio state university.
A large sign bearing the announce-
ment, “Craig County, Pure-Rred Bulls
Used Exclusively," greets visitors who
enter Craig county, Virginia, by any
of Its highways. The United Stutes
Department of Agriculture believes
these signs to be the first of their
kind erected anywhere.
A few months ago Craig county
farmers, co-operating with County
Agent W. O. Martin and state exten­
sion specialists, succeeded In eradicat­
ing all grade and scrub bulls and in
establishing the use of pure bred bulls
exclusively in cattle-breeding opera­
tions. To “tell the world" of this ac­
complishment conspicuous road signs
have been erected at ail points where
roads enter the county.
In a recent letter to the department.
County Agent Martin says, "Enthusi­
asm for pnre-bred live stock is still
growing and we have a vision of pure­
bred sires for all animals in the near
future." The fulfillment of this prom­
ising outlook would mean the exten­
sion of the pure-bred-bull accomplish­
ment to Include the exclusive use of
pure-bred rams, boars, stallions, and
other sires In the breeding of all farm
animals in the county.
Toulouse Best Goose
Breed for Marketing
The best breeds of geese for market
are the Toulouse which is sometimes
called the Land goose because it does
not seem to miss the water; the Emb­
den geese which are white and are
profitable market geese, and the Af­
rican which are nearly the color of
the Toulouse and are also fine, large
market geese. These are smaller,
however, weighing only a little more
than one-half of what the others do.
Whenever Canadian geese are used to
cross with the three or four above
mentioned breeds, this cross produces
a hybrid goose which is called a mon­
grel goose on the market They are
considered a great delicacy and bring
the highest prices of any poultry per
pound. Only a few of them are raised,
however, as the demand is limited.
Successful Incubation
Successful and careful incubation.
In the case of either duck or chicken
eggs. Is one of the first and most es­
sential steps towards a strong, healthy
flock. Many early chick losses are
due to Improper incubation and much
of the low hatchabiiity of eggs can be
traced to poor Incubator management.
As a consequence, care to details at
this lime will mean dollars and cents
for the poultryman when gelling or
egg-laying time comes.

Dairy Cows Doing Well
on Many Illinois Farms
As if to do their bit ia the present
agricultural situation, dairy cows on
Illinois farms are becoming higher­
geared milk producing machines, ac­
cording ’to John H. Brock, of the Uni­
versity of Illinois. Tills is reflected
in records from the state’s dairy herd
improvement associations In which ap­
proximately 13,000 dairy cows are be­
ing tested for milk and butterfat pro­
duction every month for the benefit of
some 800 dairymen.
Cows in these associations averaged
22.5 pounds of butterfat each during
December, the most recent month for
which complete records are available
This was a shade more than the aver­
age of the association cows in Decern
her, 1920. Likewise, the highest pro­
ducing herd in December of the year
Just past exceeded the production of
the best herd In December, 1920, by
two pounds of butterfat a cow.
There is a disease of geese and gos­
lings known as goose septicemia which
causes sudden death. This is a dis­
ease undoubtedly due to poison In the
feed. No cure Is yet known. Sanitary
conditions will prevent the disease.
The healthy goslings should be re­
moved to new quarters, a coarse mash
should be fed and everything kept as
clean as possible. With clean water
and a fresh range there should be no if o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
