ALL-MASH RATION
FRENCH WEED IS
GIVEN APPROVAL
TOUGHEST PLANT
All-mesh poultry rations, for both
rrow ing chicks and laying hens, are
suggested in the most recent bulletin
on poultry procedure issued by tlie
extension service of the Ohio state
university. “ The newer idea of poul
try feeding favors the feeding of all
the Ingredients ground, mixed, and
fed as a mash,” says Prof. A. B. Win
ter, o f the poultry husbandry depart
ment o f tlie university, author of tlte
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
la r mash to one finely ground, It le
advisable not to grind the ingredients
any liner than is necessary to prevent
tlie chickens from picking over the
material uud taking out what thpy
like best."
Two “ starting and growing" rations,
both oi them ail-mash, are listed In
the bulletin. Three all-mash rations
and one scratch grain and mush ration
•re suggested for laying hen?.
The first starting and growing ra
tion, a mash, consists o f:

Tlie bulletin discusses 21 feeding
materials for poultry, with reference
to their constituents and the particu
la r feeding purpose fo r which they
are available. It is entitled "Poultry

lie obtained by w riting to the agricul
tural publications department of the
Ohio state university.
A large sign bearing tjie announce
ment, “ Craig County, l ‘ure-I!red Bulls
Used Exclusively,” greets visitors who
enter Craig county, Virginia, by nay
of Its highways. The United States
Department of Agriculture believes
these signs to lie the first of their
kind erected anywhere.
A few months ugo 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 all points where
roads enter tlie county.
In a recent letter to the department,
County Agent Martin says, “ Enthusi
asm for pure-bred live stock Is still
growing and we have a vision of pure
bred sires for nil animals In the near
future." The fulfillment of this prom
ising outlook would mean the exten
sion of the pure-bred-hull accomplish
ment to Include the exclusive use of
purebred rams, hoars, stallions, nnd
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 tlie w ater; the Emb
den geese which are white and are
profitable market geese, and the A f
rican which nre nearly tlie color of
the Toulouse and nre also fine, large
market geese. These nre smaller,
however, weighing only n little more
than one-half of what the others do.
Whenever Canadian geese nre used to
cross with the three or four above
mentioned breeds, this cross produces
a hj’lirld goose which Is called a mon
grel goose on the market. They are
considered a great delicacy nnil bring
the highest prices of any poultry per
pound. Only a few of them are raised,
however, ns the demand Is limited.

As If to do their hit In the present
agricultural situation, dairy cows on
Illinois farms nre becoming hlglier-
geared milk producing machines, ac-
ecrdlng to John 11. Brock, of the Uni
versity of Illinois. This Is reflected
in records from the state’s dairy herd
improvement associations In which ap-
proximately 13.000 dairy cows nre be-
Ing tested for milk and butterfnt pro
duction every month for the lieneilt of
gome 800 dairymen.
Cows in these associations nvernged
22.5 pounds of butterfnt each during
December, tlie most recent month for
which complete records nre available.
