Culling the flock of poor layi hens sRouid be done by dayiteht. whos white and yellow can be r “dis- tinguished, says Roy E. Jones, poultry 1 specialist for the extension service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. No one need hegitate to catch {and handle hens in daylight if they| are not unnecessarily frightened. A convenient and easy wav of hold- jog a hen for examination is to place the breast bhone in the palm of the hand, with the fleshv part of the legs held firmly ‘either side of the fore- finger. The feeMng of the breast bone in the palm of the hand at once indi- lcates the quality of the hen. With the other hand'it is easy to measure the distance between the pelvic bones, and from the’ pelvic bones to the breast bome. While doing this |look at the plumage. comb, shanks, beak, earlobes. and vent. and the ex- amination is comrlete. It is not safe to judge a hen by any one of the indications of production or non-production alone. adviecs Mr. Jones. There are exceptions to all rules, and it is oniy by giving each point due credit that a correct com- clusion can be reached. APPLE HARVEST IS ON. Government crop estimates | Connecticut of 1,470,000 bushels of apples this vear. The figure is based on estimates under date of September 1 and is sub- | jegt to revision. but it is interesting to | note that the 1918 productiom was but 999,000 bushels. While the present crop is hardly a record breaker it will doubtless prove | one of the most prefitable that the state has ever produced. Windfalls and culls are now salable. because of the increased interest in cider, at prices that never prevailed before. It is claimed that one apple out of every four rots, cellar. If the present demand for ci- {der and vinegar continue it is proba- ble that this loss will be greatly re- duced. KEEP MILK IN COOL PLACE.

In cooling milk | dairymen should use facilities already existing, such as cold water in we ¥ or springs. When milk is drawn from | a cow it has a temperature cf about 95 degrees F. In the north well and spring water generally varies in tem- perature from 50 degrees to 60 degrees F. By the use of surface coolers and a tank of running water. milk can quiekly be cooled and held to within two to four degrees of the temperature | of water. 3 | During warm weather it may be n cemsary to deliver milk twice a da This would bave a tendency to checl spoilage, especially of evening milk, | which is usually more than & hn.xra‘ old when shipped. | 1 KEEPING HENS. i Any hen that shows signs of sickness or generally debilitated condition | should be culled from the flock. In forming an opinion as to whether or not the hen is laying sufficiently well to favor her retention in the flock for another season or so, it is not advis ble to place too much importance on any one of the factors. discussed above, but rather to summarize the appear- ance and production qualities of each bird rather than to rely on any one symptom as a cause of culling certain birds from the flock. Generally it is desirable fcr the own- er to practice continual cullin case of the youn®& stock; that to dispense with the undesirable fowl as is frequent and regular handling of the birds. sickly be or not doing well should ods can also be practiced in the selec- tlon of the floc oniy the pick of the best fowl i retained in the breeding flo | ‘The size of the flock which can be most efficientiy kept will depend first of all upon the able secondly. able for feed. to overstock the ter results will be obtained from a few hens in a small vard than from a larger number.

G. HOLDEN. | Ticks take a mighty toll from the sheep of the United States. Sheep thrive; the feed the sheep eat is sumed in replacing the blood st i | | \ t | out by the ticks. Imagine the zmount of blood that it takes to fill 500 ticks, | larger than grains of wheat—not only to fill them but to keep them fuil, for | they are ravenous blood suckers. | It is not unusual to find 500 full| grown tickes on one sheep. and often the owner is not aware that his sheep are suffering. The time of vear that ticks do their worst mischief is at the ! approach of winter. This is the time ! | of vear that they begin multiplying | | fastest and using the most blood. A | Sheep with 25 ticks on it now Is apt to be literally covered with them by shearing time next soring. There have been many Instances where the ticks multiplied and nun- | ished the sheep until by the time the wool was taken off the sheep they wes | exhausted from the loss of blood nothing was left but skin and bone. Now is the time to get rid of the | ticks. Tt is cheaper and hetter to take | care of anv trouble while it is ea | eontrolled and before great damage has | been dene i Dip ihe sheep before the weather rets | cold e some of the commercial dips that can be purchased from any dealer. Mix accordine to directions. Dip the Sheep thoroughly, and repeat again in two weeks to get any ticks that might | have hatched after the first dipping. ! Dip every sheep. If one or two is miss- ed there may he enough ticks on them | to pollute the whole. flock before winter | is over. Don't neglect dipping because | the sheep have only “a few ticks.” Re- | member the ticks are prolific and “a few” may soon be making inroads on vour sheep feed. Look under the sheep’s neck, along the throat. for ! ticks. Here vou will find them If thev are on the animal. and here vou will find the eggs. which are round black balls like buckshot. Feed is too expensive and sheep and wool too valuable to allow anvthing so easily controlled as ticks to take the profit. i 1f vou do not have a dloping vat vou can join with four or five neighbors who have flocks and buy a =ood metal vat. Paint it and it should last indefi- | nitely If properly used. Tt would be | light and easily moved and thera should be no confnsion about nusinz ft, as not all would likely need it at the same time.
