HIGH FRIGE FOR EGGS INDUCEMENT TO
POULTRYHEN TD KEEP LAYING PULLETS
With the present high prices fer
eggs and prospects for continued high
prices until next summer at least,
every poultryman should strive to
keep as many laying pullets and good
hens as he can profitably feed apd
house. Anyone wishing to purchase
early hatched pullets should begin
looking around for them at once be
cause the best pullets are always
taken first. March or April hatched
pullets of good breeding and egg
conformation will begin laying early
this fall and will soon pay for their
cost and return a good profit over the
cost of feed if properly cared for.
Great care should be taken in the se
lection of pullets. Those that can be
bought for the lowest prices are sel
dom profitable to keep. Pullets
should begin to lay before the
cold weather sets in. If they do not
start to lay before the cold weather
they seldom get started until the lat
ter part of the winter and then tho
price of eggs is on the decline. Any
one wishing to purchase pullets will
receive information by notifying the
Secretary of the Gallatin County
Poultry association.
Feed Pullets WelL
The young chickens are usually
given a great deal of care and at
tention during brooding and until
they are old enough to rustle for
themselves. At this point too many
young chickens are neglected. They
are fed with the old hens and left
to rustle for themselves. The result
is that the old hens fight them off
and they do not get a sufficient
quantity of the right kind of feed.
They are stunted or undeveloped at
the time they should begin to lay.
You can, without being an expert,
cull your own fleck. From ten to
60 per cent of the birds in the av
For the best results young chick
ens should be raised throughout the
summer by themselves. They should
be on free range if possible. An or
chard or grove of trees is ideal. A
good mash and scratch feed supple
mented by milk and mineral will keep
them growing until they are ready to
lay.
If the pullets must be fed in the
same yard with the old hens they
should be fed in coops which will ad
mit them but exclude the old hens.

erage farm flock are culls at this
time of the year. Grain fed to these
culls is an absolute waste. Culling
the farm flock should be done from
July 1st and continue into Septem
her. Here are the peints to watch:
First, notice the head on the paying
hen. It is red and full of blood. The
bird that has quit has a bloodless ap
pearance about the head.
Second, the lay bones on a laying
htn are soft and separated; on a
non-layer, hard and close together.
Third, the abdomen on a laying hen
is dilated, larger and soft; on a non
layer, it is small, shrunken and
harder, much the same as the ab -

In conclusion, culling means taking
out the poor ones and selecting
the good ones to breed from. This
latter requires considerable experi
ence, thought and study. For a good

A Good Whitewash
Little difficulty will be experi
enced with lice and mites if the poul
try house is kept clean and white
washed once or twice a year. A good
whitewash can be mad© by slacking
10 pounds of quicklime in a pail with
two gallons of water. Cover the pail
with burlap or an old sack and allow
it to slake for one hour; and add
enough water to make the whitewash
To prevent the whitewash from
peeling and furnishing a hiding place
for mites, add one pound of glue and
a hand full of salt to each five gal
lons. Use ordinary stick glue, dis
solving it in warm water. If glue is
used the whitewash must be warm
when put on.
This whitewash can be made a dis
infectant by adding one pint of crude
carbolic acid to each five gallons of
whitewash.

make it look as though it belonged to

Billings—String beans which have
been raised by farmers and gardeners
in co-operation with the canning fac

mercial dub to secure information as
to the best canning crops that can be
raised in this section, are now ripen
ing rapidly.
Miss Edith Sloan, home demonstra
tion agent, is canning a considerable
quantity of the beans and the canned
product will later be used for demon
stration and exhibit purposes includ
ing a display at the Billings Commer
cial club. There are six varieties of
the beans being tefcted.
Statistics as to yield, length of
growing seasen and other points in
which canners are interested, are be
ing gathered by R. E. Bancroft of the
state department of agriculture and
county agent.
beans thus far secured are of very
superior quality. The season has just
started and it will take some time
before there will be sufficient data
|to determine the possibilities of the
crop,
There are about 25 growers co

100 MORE MEN ON
GUARD AT BORDER
Inspectors Will Plug Canadian
Boundary Against All
Smugglers •
Washington.— Assistant Secretary
Andrews of the treasury has begun
repairing the fences along the north
ern border of the United States. As
a first step, he authorized the appoint
ment of more than 100 additional cus
toms inspectors to be assigned be
tween the Atlantic seaboard and the
western line of North Dakota.
Convinced that the federal govern
ment is losing from 10 to 15- million
dollars annually in revenue aa a result
of ^customs evasion, the assistant sec- ♦
retary hap commenced the develop
ment of a program with which to
combat the smugglers of merchan
dise, livestock, dairy and other farm
products, as well as liquor, narcotics
and aliens. Orders, authorising ihe
increases in personnel, have already
gone out and many of the m«.n are at
work.
Further than to disclose the num
ber of men to be added ÿt this time
to the border patrol, Mr. A idrev.s de
clined to talk about the ottails o: the
operation. He thought it ii 1-ad vised
to disclose the number to be assigned
to any particular" area, but said the
increases were based upon the recom
mendations cf customs collectors, as
well as upon his own knowledge op
conditions.
Do not l?et the idea," he said,
that this job of guarding against
smuggling is concerned only with
liquor. That would be a wrong im
pression, fer while the patrols will
immeasurably strengthen our efforts •
to curb liquor running they will pay
their cost several times over in fore- «
ing payment of tariff duties on many
shipments across the border that now
pay nothing.
