SOME GOOD POINTS
IN POULTRY HOUSE
Sh eep Club.
Better insulation has brought the
greutest Improvement of all to the
poultry bouse, says Successful Farm
ing.
Insulntlou reduces the harmful
effects of the extremes of cold and
heat and makes ttie house more com
fortable at all temperatures.
The
"straw loft” house became popular
because It provided a cheap and ef
ficient roof Insulation, a point large
ly neglected In the earlier houses
The half-m onitor type of house was
never very successful because It
lacked Insulation In the roof and was
consequently a cold, damp house
In w inter and a hot one In the sum
mer. Many of these monitor houses
have been greatly Improved by the
addition of a straw celling. A simi
la r insulating effect can be secured
by some of the Insulating boards now
on the market.
Ventilation Is another Important
problem In poultry house construc
tion because o f Its effect on damp
ness and the Inside temperature.
The only way to remove the excess
moisture In the house Is by ventila
tion or change of air. A ir movement
should be very slow, so that no d raft
of cold a ir Is noticeable. In the aver
age run of furm poultry houses the
henB probably suffer more In severe
cold weather due to too much venti
lation rather than too little.
Both the Nebraska and Iowa ex
periment stations have found that hens
show no harmful effect from tightly
closed quarters during the w inter.
W hile neither of these stations rec
ommend a tightly closed poultry
house, their findings Indicate the Im
portance of a ir purity may have been
overemphasized In the past.

KLAMATH FALLS — The total
harvest of small seeds In Klamath
county this year will exceed 100,000
pounds, which is more than twico the
amount produced In this county in
any previous year, according to re
cords kept by County Agent C. A.
Henderson. Included In this is 20,-
000 pounds of Kentucky blue grass
seed, the first to be harvested in
Klamath county, grown by Geary
Brothers of Wocus.
LAKEVIEW — Because of the
shortage of feed and pasture, Lake
county farmers are cutting various
weeds for hay, reports County Agent
Victor Johnson. More than 500 tons
of weeds and foxtail have been
stacked- for feed on the old Goo.ce
Lake bed by farmers In the East Side
and Dry Creek districts, he says. An
alkali weed found in this section and
Identified by the Oregon Experiment
station as Sea Brite, is readily con
sumed by sheep and cattle.
•CORVALLIS— B. W. Johnson, pro
minent fruit grower of Monroe,
started dusting his prunes for the
prevention of brown rot several
years ago, and his crop has been free
from this disease ever since, says C.
R. Briggs, county agent. Other Ben
ton county fruit growers are also
reporting excellent results from
dusting for the control of brown rot.
KLAMATH FALLS — Rape for

larly heavy yielding in the Tule Lake
section, of Klamath county where It
was tried for the first time this year

"Broody liens should be cooped the
first night they stny on the nest, as
any delay w ill Increase the brooding
period," says Miss Corn Cooke, exten
sion poultry specialist, Minnesota Uni
versity farm . “In breaking up hroodl-
nes», the sane way is fo give the hens
humane treatm ent and feed them well,
so as to get them back to laying as
soon as possible.
"The case Is one for hospital treat
ment, rather than punishment, such as
starvation, or torture In solitary corw^
finement.” says Miss Cooke. "Build
the hens up to laying by good feeding.
Instead of starving or genring them
out of broodiness. After all, what Is
wanted are eggs.
“Confine broody hens in a well-ven
tilated slatted or netting coop, placed
In the shade. Supply dry mash nil the
time In a feed trough, feed a moist
mash once a day and feed scratch
grain ligLlly. Under such treatment,
hens will soon go back to laying If
caught the first night.
"Don’t stop with this, however.
Breeding broodiness out of the (lock
Is better than treating birds for the
ailment. Band a hen every time she
goes broody. Omit from the breeding
pen hens wearing such bands and In
time trouble from broodlnesa can be
reduced to a minimum.''
Light Yolks Preferred
Poultry producers find that many
buyers In the large cities, especially
the New York market, prefer eggs
with light colored yolks, the United
States Department o f Agriculture
says.
Certain mntcrlnls such as green feed
and yellow corn produce dark yolks,
hut when eggs are candled It Is often
difficult to tell whethe’ the dark yolk
has been caused by feed or because
the egg has been excised to heat.
Thus, altlmugh buyers prefer light
yolks In order to he on the snfe side,
dark yolks do not necessarily inner»
that the eggs are inferior In quality.
Feeds such ns white corn, wheat, buck
wheat. and oats result In eggs having
light yolks.
To he classed ns n quality product,
eggs must bp uniform In color and
size, and light yolks make them mor-i
deslmhle In many mnrkets.

In one county of South Dakota
where practically nil the flocks In two

1 tier cent of the pullets reacted where
as 33 per rent o f the birds over two

Chicken Mites
The new 9350,000 grain elevator built at Spokane by Farmers National Grain corporation was
completed this week and the ftrst carload of grain taken In for storage In the huge bins. The ele
vator was built primarily to provide sub-terminal storage for Montana wheat, and so hold It sway
from Coast terminala at tinea when added supplies might choke the market and depress pricae. The
big concrete structure is mads up of 14 hugs storage tanks with a capacity of 75O,Ooo bushels, and
u central workhouse, equipped w ith machinery for grading, mixing and loading. The bins ara 100
feet high, while the workhouse towers to a height of 188 feet. Completion of the Spokane elevator
brings terminal and sub-term Inal storags facilities controlled by Farmere National in the Pacifie
jorthweet to more than 9.000,00 o bushels.
Where small mites are abundant,
clean ont the house, removing and
burning old nesting materials. Then
spray the entire honae with coal oil or
a mixture of equal parta of coal oil
and crank case oil. Be careful to
force the spray Into cracks Thia pest
attacks the birds at night and hides
during the day. One thorough clean
ing up and spraying of the house will
an ally get rid of the pest In case
Nt doesn't, repeat the treatment la tea
days— Missouri Farmer,
