WINNER PRODUCES “159-18, AVERAGE + TOEWEIN 140 DAYS " Purpose of Competition to Find H State’s Most Successful 8 Fiock Raisers 2 By producing an average of 152 pounds of lambs in 140 days from Sicach of his 36 ewes, P. M. Molitor, ¢iBrismade, ranked high in the itrst Mannual state lamb production contest Conducted by North Dakota Agricul- tural college, according to S. G. Den- @:ner, extension animal husbandmar vho has just announced winn ir. Molitor placed first in the 25 to 8150 breeding ewe class. In the 51 to 4100 ewe class Gust Tweten, Oberon, jopped the list with an average pro- ‘ uction of 134.3 pounds wer ewe; yhile in the 101 or more ewes group, ¢ Matthew Duffey, Esmond, demon- strated his ability with an average of 8 130.67 pounds per ewe. 4, The purpose of the contest is to jocate the most successful sheep rais- ers on the basis of the average num- ber of pounds of lamb produced per ‘ewe in the breeding flock and to de- termine the most productive types of mutton sheen and the best method of feeding and management. In the contest the use of a purebred ram was required but no restrictions were on feeding and management. Awards of $25, $15 and $10 were made in each class this ycar Mr. Molitor raised 59 lambs from his 36 Shropshire-Oxford cross bred ewes and their average weight at the end of 140 days was 92.77 pounds. ‘Tweten's record shows that his flock of 88 Shropshire ewes produced 82 lambs weighing an average of 95.01 pounds at 140 days; while Duffey's 115 Oxford and White -faced ewes _ Yaised 168 lambs averaging 89.45 ' pounds at 140 days.

A. Larson and Son, Pin- gree and J. A. Jacobson, Sharon, All three of the men placing at the top in the contest were quite uni- form in their feeding methods. All fed alfalfa or sweet clover hay to the ewes during the winter, and all ran their lambs on sweet clover or sweet colver and grass pastures which had not been used by sheep the year be- fore. The ewes were fed grain just previous to breeding and were in a Rood thifty condition. Shortly before _ Sambing the ewes were also fed a small “amount of frain. lambs no grain, while both Tweten , and Duffey fed their lambs grain > only during the first several weeks. | An important practice of the three sheepmen was to allow the ewes a || chance to exercise outside in a large * lot every day during the winter. Wa- 4 ter and salt wore available at all times. Plans are being made for a similar contest in 1930 and any sheepman in: terested in competing can secure in structions from his county agent. WHAT AN APPETITE Gydney, N. 8. “Tppetitis” might be called the strange malady which + possesses a girl patient at St. Vin- cent’s hospital here. She is alleged to eat in one day 15 meat pics, 24 ba- manas, 12 mutton chops, 30 slices of bread, 18 sausages. In addition, she drinks 27 cups of tea and two gallons of beef tea. Yet she is slowly starving to death. l Weather Report i ‘Temperature at 1 ‘Highest yeaterd: a low ih i ant Precipitation t Highest wind veloc! ry and Melnity? Fair to- .

Somewhat Hens, Then Keep Chicks | Off Tainted Soil { “Drastic disposal of all old birds in {the flock is the first step in getting \rid of poultry tuberculosis,” advi: Dr. Don McMahan, extensicn veter- \inarian of North Dakota Agricultural college. “This disease generally fects birds over one year of age, con- ; Sequently the mistake poultry raisers are making is to keep the same birds in the flock for several years.” | During the past year Dr. McMahan | visited localities scatterd widely over the state is convinced that tuber- culosis is the most serious disease jenemy poultry raisers have to face. disease is highly prevalent and that ‘a large percentage of all the flocks jin the state are badly infected. Even when the disease has appar- to keep old birds in the flock, for they serve as a source of infection to the young healthy ones. But getting rid of the diseased | poultry does not guarantee that there vill be no tuberculosis next year. Young birds must be kept on clean jsround away from the contaminated il of the yards over which sick birds {have run for years. The most prac- | tical means of doing this is to move ; the poultry out onto clean ground j and to keep them there. As the dis- jease is not transmitted to the chick through the egg of a diseased hen, there is no objection to using the eggs ;for hatching provided they are \hatched in an incubator and kept from all contact with old chickens. As tuberculosis in poultry is the - | Most common source of the same dis- | ease in hogs, the importance of elim- | inating it is made greater. Tubercu- losis is costing farmers money every year in the form of slow gains on both hogs and poultry. Anyone in doubt as to whether their birds have ve | this sickness need only to cut a few of the sick ones open, or better yet | send the sick bird to the veterinary department of the college for free examination. Nodules in the liver, spleen or intestines indicate the dis- ease. The signs of tuberculosis are lameness, loss of weight, severe diar- rhea and paleness of the combs and wattles. | iI | ° ¢ PARAMOUNT THEATRE Sherlock Holmes, the world re- nowned detective, waited until his popular detective chara: ter can be seen and heard Saturday at the Paramount theatre in “The Return of Sherlock Holmes.” Clive Brook is cast in the role of the super man-hunter and you will meet most of the from the books, The reason for “The Return of Sherlock Holmes” was the untimely murder of on the of to the THE ently been overcome it is a bad policy | eon | AT THE MOVIES | E pieces of twenty or more years ago|prevented germination or caused un- which have been to a large degreejcven germination and ® poor stand incorporated among the folk-songs|and here severe winter weather may |of the nation.

C. Tully, extension poultryman of North Dakota Agricul- tural college. | Properly balanced “mash” feed for 'getting the most eggs from laying | hens. A “mash” is a mixture of ground grain and grain by-products, animal Protein such as milk, with meat scraps, or tankage, and minerals. The {amounts of different materials in a | most easily and cheaply available— ; the main idea being to use the feeds grown on the farm and to properly ;mix them with other egg-making materials. Before a hen can “manufacture” an egg she must have inher feed the tuff” of which eggs are made. For instance, to make the “white” of the egg a hen needs such feed as meat scraps or tankage and milk or butter- milk. When she has to depend on only what she can pick up here and there, she slows up on her egg laying or quits altogether. The mash is the best method of supplying hens with part of the necessary egg material, according to Mr. Tully. Likewise, the mash is the. most de- sirabl> means of providing bone-meal and common salt which are the only | additional minerals needed when | oyster shell and grit are kept before jlaying hens.
