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

ROTATING RUNS IS
BEST FOR TURKEYS
Limited Summer Range,
More Green Feed.
By E. M. 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.

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.

fort and convenience as the “85.” And
