lied to receiving their feed. < Successful feeding at this time J requires careful attention to details such as not leaving wet feed In the troughs to become sour. Likewise, dry feed, while it will not i sour, will become stale and should not be allowed to remain in the i troughs longer than from one feeding to the next. Any feed not eatI en should be removed and replaced i with fresh feed. Two general recommendations then might be made regarding i methods of feeding—depending upon whether feeds are fed wet or dry. If the former Is used, the little pigs should be fed three times per day and given only what they will up. If dry feeds are supplied, i putting it out twice daily is suffi- j cient. This latter method amounts to self-feeding since feed is kept constantly before the pigs. Since the capacity of the pigs 1 for feed is limited at this age, many farmers prefer to have it possible for the pigs to eat as often as they wish. So long as the I pigs are suckling there is little, if any danger of overfeeding, even though the self-feeding method is followed. After suckling for 8 weeks, the amount of milk supplied by the sow usually has diminished to such a point, and the capacity of the pigs for consuming other feed has increased to the extent that if proper attention is given to the rai tion a this time, the pigs may be weaned with little, if any, setback. o Dr. Eichom To Show Horse Next Saturday Dr. G.

CLEAN EGGS ARE AID TO PROFITS (fathering From Nests Often Is Good Poultry Farm Practice Gathering the eggs often will increase the proportion of clean eggs produced says E. M. Funk of the Missouri College of Agriculture. It is a mistake to allow the eggs to accumulate in the nests the fertile ' eggs are developing chick etnbryj os. Some poultrymen arrange the nests so they may be closed at night to prevent broody hens, newly housed pullets, or other birds from roosting in them. Such an arrangement prevents contamination of the nest and reduces the number of dirty eggs. The use of wire in the bottom of the nests will help keep them clean by permitting much of the dirt to pass j through. Failure to provide enough nests will cause the hens to overcrowd the nests and break and soil a large number of eggs. There should be one nest for every 5 or 6 hens in the laying flock. The hen soils eggs by walking over them with dirty feet and by depositing droppings in the nest. Her feet become dirty because she walks over dirty yards, dirty floors, or dirty droppings platforms. The dropping platform may be covered with poultry netting so that the bjrds cannot walk on it. The birds may jbe confined when the yards are muddy, and clean litter may be kept on the floor. Clean eggs should always be! ( handled with clean hands and I ' placed in clean containers. Every- I pne prefers clean eggs and most | "consumers are willing to pay al i premium for such eggs. Experience in egg marketing has taught 1 that eggs going into storage should l not be washed, since the damage j from spoilage is too great. Some I poultrymen use a fine emery cloth lor sandpaper for brushing off the 'dirt, and others use a damp cloth and bon ami.

Uncle Jini Says More than 66 times as much soil may be lost on land planted to corn continuously as compared to land protected by a good cover of grass. Thus the seeding ot legums?s and grasses will chck costly soil losses as well as help provide .plenty of cheap feed for livestock.

Templeton, State House, Room 332, Indianapolis, and secure one of these booklets as soon as possible. These booklets give the rules, regulations and also premiums that are offer- < ed. The Indiana Board of Agriculture takes great pride in the 4-H ' Club work at the State Fair and i has the record of doing as much i < for the 4-H Club Boys and Girls in ! i this state as any other State Fair. | It is not only a pleasure trip for' the boys and girls to attend the I' Fair but an educational one as Ii well. Following is a list of the a- i mounts offered in the various Ag-1 ricultural Departments. 1i Agriculture $4,031.25 ■ Horticulture 1,700.75 Apiary 549.00 j Floriculture 1,938.501 Total $8,219.50' ERYSIPELAS IS THREAT TO HOGS W arning Issued To Farm-' ers To Watch For Serious Disease Urbana, 111., May 14 — Farmers' are on the lookout for swine ery- | sipelas this spring, following a warning by G. L. Dunlap, associ-j ate in animal pathology, and Robert Graham, chief of the animal ' pathology and hygiene division at (the College of Agriculture, Univer-j jsity of Illinois, that this disease ■ i'itf becoming of increasing importi ance to swine growers. ' | “Swine erysipela’s, in both acute 'land chronic forms, has been rec-1 1 ognized for many years and has resulted in serious death losses in 1 farm herds,” they explain. “The I disease has taken on added impor- i tance as a result of tho 1936 j drouth. Steps to be taken in curbing thej disease are described in Circular No. 471, “Swine Erysipelas,” which' has just been written ty Dunlap and Graham and issued by the i agricultural college. Assistance of local veterinarians,! together with laboratory tests, has 1 proved valuable in identifying the malady in different herds. The disease attacks hogs of all I ages, but is most serious in suckling pigs and shoats. Symplons of the acute stage are similar to hog cholera. If this stage is survived, the hog usually develops the chronic symptons of STlffness and unthriftiness. Anti-swine erysipelas serum is , effective in prevention and control of the acute malady. However, the serum is of no value for the chronic stages of the disease. Preventive measures are important as a means of avoiding future losses, it is pointed out. Dirty hog houses and contaminated lots perpetuate infection. Farmers are warned to observe extreme precaution in the purchase of feeder pigs from central markets or community sales to avoid introducing I into their herds chronically infected animals that appear healthy. Copies of the new circular may be obtained by writing the college at Urbana. o — Nussbaum Girl Is Injured In Fall Mary Ellen Nussbaum, 7-year old (laughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Nussbaum of the Berne-Decatur road, is ! recovering from a fracture of her right arm sustained Wednesday when she fell down the cellar steps lof the Nussbaum farm home.

BLACKHEAD IS DISEASE CAUSE I Isolation Recommended For Treatment Os Turkey Disease Although other infectious diseases sometimes affect turkeys, blackhead is by far the moil destructive ailment. Blackhead has discouraged the raising of turkeys in many parts of the country. When , conditions are favorable for the ! spread of the disease, it may de- | stroy almost the entire turkey crop during a swison, says A. J., I Chadwell, U-T extension poultry-, ' man. Blackhead is a germ-borne dis-1 ease. It enters the body of the bird Iby way of the digestive tract in j contaminated soil, food or water. 1 I It leaves the body in the dropping. | i It may occur when turkeys are two i to three weks of age, but the heav- ■ iest losses usually occur during [the second month of the growing ■ period, Mr. Chadwell points out. Efforts to prevent blackhead give much better results than attempts to treat it after it occurs. BlackI head can be controlled by sanitary measures, including the isolation lof poults from contaminated soil, as well as from adult turkeys and i chickens. Losses may occur in I from two to three weeks after lyoung poults are exposed in this manner to the disease. Medicines, vaccines, etc., have been tried for treatment of blackhead, and some of them have been highly recommended but there is no substantial evidence of any , good having been accomplished, i The best procedure is to isolate all sick birds and burn those that die. The rest of the flock should moved to clean ground on good i pasture away from chickens and adult turkeys. Artificial incubation jand brooding offers the best means of preventing the disease.

Mr. Chadwell states.

Poppies the night before they are going to open, Gladioli when the buds first begin to open. * • * • A FEW HERBS are always a welcome addition to any garden. Lavender is particularly desirable. It should he dried slowly to insure lasting fragrance. Most herbs should be dried in bunches heads down. • • • * ZINNIAS make a beautiful flow’ering hedge along the edge of your walks and in addition their profuse blossoms provide ample cut flow’ers for the house. • • • * SNIP OFF all fading blooms every day or so to prevent seed formation which terminates the blooming period of most plants. Pansies need this attention constantly. If the pansy seeds, It stops blooming at once.

BEET ACREAGE ! IS INCREASING I Reports Made That More Sugar Beets Are Being Planted ' Saginaw, Michigan, May 14 — reports received at rthe offices of the Farmers and. .Manufacturers Beet Sugar Association, during the last week, from ! the various sugar beet growing 1 tinues to progress and many farmers are already engaged in plantI ing. Commenting on these reports, Mr. A. A. Schupp, executive secre- . tary of the Association said, “It appears that many farmers who ' did not contract for sugar beets I earlier in the season now realize ' that; with possibilities good for i SI.BO to $2.00 per ton benefit pay- ' ment from the Government; and | higher sugar prices which, under i the terms of the 1937 beet puri chase contract, means that the J sugar companies will pay a good , price for beets, 1937 will be a good ‘year in which to grow this con-i : sistently profitable crop. “The various beet sugar com-1 ' panics, together with a number of the beet growers’ associations, are I j continuing their drive for a large ] ; beet acreage this year. The agri-: ] cultural supervisors of the sever-1 al companies report that there is ample time for the grower, who has not yet contracted, to get his' land in shape and at the same time I get the seed planted in sufficient time to provide for a maximum I growing season. I “In view of the excellent prospects for profitable beet growing this year we believe that we should , endeavor to have a maximum acrei age in sugar beets and put forth a special effort to produce a bumper crop.

IHORSEJENSE Soybeans are the first choice of most farmers for an emergency , hay crop this year. And these same ' farmers generally regard inoculn|tlon as one of the most important things to be done to Insure success with the crop. Avoid "grass-flavored” milk, i which is always objectionable to 7>oth consumers and distributers, by taking the cows off pasture four or five hours before milking time and by feeding dry roughage before turning them on pasture. Al-1 .so never turn hungry cows that are in lactation on green pastures including rye, wheat, and blue i grass. Even In a single field, differences in the growth of clover may caused by differences in soil acidity in different parts of the field. Cut worms attack all kinds of garden and field crops. Broadcast* poison bait with the first evidence j of their presence. Docking and castrating lambs pay dividends, say Purdue Univer-I sity specialists. It's either dock the 1 lambs' tails or have the buyers) dock the price. If the lambs are’ sold as bucks, the farmer Is fined by having $1 a hundred-) weight cut from the price. There is little cost and the pay is big to ' prepare lambs to sell at their best.' Further information on any ot the foregoing topics may be ob-1 tained by writing to the Depart-1 ment of Agricultural Extension.
