HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FARMEPwS' MONTHLY 



duction records on both sides. The pres- 

 ent herd six-e was bought as a calf be- 

 cause Qf the production records behind 

 him. Mr. Steele entered into a co-opera- 

 tive agreement with a neighbor whereby 

 this man raised the calf and Mr. Steele 

 has service. 



Supply Local Market 



The produce from the Steele farm is 

 marketed locally. They do not find that 

 it is easy to produce and hard to sell theii- 

 pi'oducts. They have found that good 

 products find a ready market. They also 

 have a different viewpoint from many. 

 They try to produce the quantity and 

 quality products that the market de- 

 mands. That this policy pays is shown 

 by an ever increasing volume of business. 



It would pay you to take a trip up to 

 Cummington and to make it a point to 

 see the Steeles. The Berkshire Trail 

 from Northampton makes one of the pret- 

 tiest rides in the county. The view from 

 Cummington Hill is wonderful. You 

 will piobably ask "how can anyone help 

 but get inspiration in such an atmos- 

 phere?" We have often wondered too.

 worms. They should be given the tobacco 

 dust treatment for a period of three 

 weeks before they are housed. This 

 means mixing 2 pounds of "Gold Leaf 

 Tobacco Dust" in every hundred pounds 

 of dry mash fed during this three weeks 

 period. Feed the treated mash DRY! 

 This will remove all of the intestinal and 

 a large per cent of the small worms 

 found in the blind guts or caecum. The 

 cost of the treatment is little, but it may 

 be the ounce of prevention which will be 

 worth pounds of cure later on. 



Treat for Lice 



While there are some plants on which 

 pullets do not have hen lice, it is safe to 

 assume that they have some and treat ac- 

 cordingly. Sodium Fluoride is not only 

 the cheapest but the best louse killer. It 

 can be secured at drug stores for about 

 forty-five cents per pound. One pound 

 will treat 100 birds. In using apply a 

 pinch at the base of the feathers on the 

 head, neck, breast, base of tail, below 

 vent, both thighs, on underside of each 

 wing and two pinches on the back. 



House Pullets Karly 



Every year there are those who wait 

 for a snowstorm before thinking of hous- 

 ing their pullets. These people are not 

 bothered by picking up eggs in the fall. 

 A safe rule to follow is to have all pullets 

 of the American breeds housed when they 

 are 24 weeks old. It is common knowl- 

 edge that production is hampered when 

 pullets are moved. The experienced 

 poultrymen let them take their vacation 

 on their own time rather than when they

We have to train our hands and brains to do things as we train a

When we are young our muscles and brains learn to obey quite
