Checks Chickens Daily 
One leading poultryman goes 
through his houses each afternoon 
to scatter grain in the litter and 
watch for birds not eating. Trouble 
—usually disease. Removes them 
at once to avoid flock epidemics. 
... He also says that crowding is 
a factor in rapid spread of laying- 
house diseases. 
Lime Litter 
Liming the litter makes it stay 
dryer, and makes it a better plant 
food. Unslaked lime best to keep 
litter dry. But because of fire haz- 
ard must be mixed into litter thor- 
oughly. 
FARM FACT: There is more milk 
at less cost by the silo route. 

Domestic production of beeswax 
should be stepped up, USDA au- 
thorities say. Melt up broken combs 
or combs not well fitted for honey 
storage or brood rearing. This will 
add to nation’s needed supply of 
wax, and will force bees to produce 
more wax by replacing old combs 
with new ones.
