V. VILLERMOURE ELECTRICAL SERVICE Important Points Cited by University Expert. By P . C. A shby. Ch’e f in L ive Stock M arketing. U n iversity of Illinois. VVNU S erv ice. To market fat cattle to advantage cattle feeders can do no better than to follow three fundamental rules. Slated briefly the three rules are to avoid overloading the market, to sell competitively and to fit cattle to the market. In following the first of these rules, shipments will need to be adjusted to the capacifv of the market to ab sorb them. This will require care ful team work between cattle feed ers and sales agencies on the mar kets. To get the full strength of the market, it is necessary to sell com petitively on the open competitive market, and to get the best avail able sales service it is advisable to sell through strong sales agencies. By fitting cattle to the market, the third rule laid down, is meant watching them closely and selling when they become fat enough to sell to advantage. The margin a feeder needs to car ry cattle in summer—cattle that could be sold in June but might be held until September in anticipa tion of a higher price—depends largely upon the age of the cattle, it is pointed out. Calves can be held much better than older cattle since they will continue to make fairly economical gains. Older cattle, however, if fat, gain little if anything during hot weather. Consequently, their entire feed bill during the holding period must be recovered by a higher sell ing price. It is believed that a price increase of about 50 cents a month is need ed in holding two-year-old steers in summer. Less is needed with calves, especially on 50 cent com. Use of Roost Poles for Turkeys Is Recommended When poults reach the age of ap proximately ten weeks, and no long er need artificial heat, they prefer to roost in the open. At this time they may be transferred from their old brooding quarters to new range where heavy roost poles have been provided, says E. M. Funk, Mis souri College of Agriculture. A tier of roost poles made of 2 by 4 inch material laid sideways, and spaced from 18 to 24 inches apart on a platform of framing material that is 4 to 6 feet high, makes satis factory roosting quarters for the turkeys. Posts are generally used to support the timbers on which roost poles are placed. Poultry netting o. finely woven fencing wire should be used over the roost poles and around the sides of the roosting platform, to keep the poults from coming in contact with the drop pings. The same location for roosting quarters may be used throughout the summer and the turkeys driven to and from their daily range. This method of management will prevent the use of range some distance from where the turkeys roost. On many farms it is desirable to have them roost near the farmstead as a pro tection against theft. Where there is no danger of theft, roosting quar ters may be changed at the time a rotation of the range is made. Kafir Corn, Milo Maize Kafir corn normally grows about 5*,4 feet high and if fully developed each stalk carries one head about 10 or 12 inches in length, three or four inches in diameter and rather loosely formed. Dwarf milo maize grows four or five feet tall and de velops a very compact head, slight ly larger in diameter in the cen ter but not as long as kafir and rounded at the base and pointed at the tip. The grain of kafir is white, while that of the milo is reddish or ange. Care in Feeding Horses Digestive disturbances are among the most common ailments of horses, and a large percentage of these are caused by improper feed ing, says F. H. Olvey of the Mis souri college of agriculture. While horses may be affected with diges tive disturbances at any season of the year, such troubles are more prevalent in the spring and fall. Feed should be of the best quality, and all changes in feed, with a few exceptions, should be made gradu ally. Keep Biddy Cool Hens need assistance from Cock owners during warm weather.
