THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1936. THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. FARM CO OPERATIVE DIVISION JA WORN SEPARATORS CAUSE LOSSES MESSAGE TO A tester for a dairy herd im- provement association recently ported that one of the members had experienced a loss of 72.4 pounds of butterfat in a single month because of a faulty cream separator. This fat was worth 126.79 and would be equivalent to the production of two fairly good cows tor the month. In asmuch as the cream separator of each cow-testing association member is checked monthly, there must be proportionately greater losses ou many thousands of farms, not pro tected by this monthly audit, which still use antiquated and wornout equipment. With the production of butterfat running under that of year ago and prices higher it is more impor- tant than ever for a dairyman to have his equipment checked care fully to determine whether he is ob taining new-sepanator efficiency. NOTICE TO Even with the high prices for hogs, most farmers cannot afford to feed CREAMERY MEMBERS butterfat that is worth around $700 Cream trucks will not gather per ton. They certainly cannot feel justified in feeding high-priced cream on Christmas day. Only the roughage and grain and employ Boardman and Columbia routes will their labor in feeding and milking be effected.

A good cow, producing 8000 lbs. of 3.5 per cent milk, or equivalent. will furnish enough skim milk to feed one growing calf, one growing hog, thirty hens and in addition pro- vide 280 pounds of butterfat to sell. On cold winter days there is no better stimulant to heavy egg pro duction than a warm, crumbly mash, moistened with skim milk. When liquid skim milk, instead of water, can be given to laying hens and good alfalfa meal is kept before the layers at all times, then barley, wheat and oats will serve to com plete the ration provided cod liver oil is given when the flock is kept indoors, and some form of grit is supplied at all times. Most of the best future cows, many of the earliest and consequent- ly most profitable pigs and the most prolific hens are being better fed because of the farm cream separa- tor.

Funk, of the Missouri College of Agriculture.—WNU Service. The summer range for turkeys should be limited in area, with temporary fences used in rotating the runs. An acre of good alfalfa or clover will be a sufficient area on which to raise 100 to 125 10- weeks-old turkeys to market age. It is advisable to divide this one acre into four sections of approx imately the same size, and rotate the runs, using each about two weeks before moving the tempo rary fence to another section. By rotating the runs every two weeks, more green feed will be provided, and this is regarded as a more sanitary practice. A five or six- foot fence is usually high enough to keep the turkeys confined, espe cially when they are provided with plenty of feed. Should they give too much trouble in flying, their primary wing feathers can be clipped. Unless natural shade is avail able, artificial shade should be pro vided during the summer and ear ly fall months. Protection from the sun may be provided by an arbor of straw or brush. During hot weather, a large consumption of feed can be secured if water con tainers and both grain and mash hoppers are kept in the shade. Throughout the feeding period of both young and old stock, every sanitary precaution should be tak en against disease and parasites. 69 qndneujopemtinff economy T he addition of a new 60-horsepower engine to the Ford line for 1937 brings you a new, low price and gives you a choice of two V-type 8-cylinder en gines. 85 horsepower for maximum performance. 60 horsepower for maxi mum economy.

Offer High Quality Eggs on the Roadside Market Poultrymen who sell eggs at roadside markets should offer only the highest quality product, says J. C. Taylor, associate extension poultryman at the New Jersey Col lege of Agriculture, Rutgers uni versity. Roadside stand patrons will pay fair prices for good quality, Tay lor reminds poultrymen, and many producers have built up a year- round market through a reputa tion for being reliable. His suggestions to poultrymen op erating roadside markets follow: Sell only infertile eggs. This means that no male birds should be with the laying flock. Collect eggs twice a day and store them in a cool, clean cellar away from strong odors. Expos ing eggs to extreme fluctuations of temperature causes rapid evap oration of their contents. Sell all eggs in cartons—not in paper bags. The carton provides a means of advertising, reduces breakage, and makes handling eas ier. creates an entirely new standard of modern motoring economy! The “60” engine, available in five body types, is built in exactly the same body size and wheelbase — to the same advanced design — with the same com fort and convenience as the “85.” And it delivers V-8 smoothness at speeds up to 70 miles an hour. Two engine sizes—but only one car and one purpose—to give you more • miles and more satisfaction for your money in 1937. FORD MOTOR COMPANY Christmas Seal Sale. Notice of Land Sale.
