Mann, Agronomist, North Carolina State College.—WNU' Service. Poultry growers may use chicken ma- nure in home-mixed fertilizers to mate- rially reduce the cost of crop fertill- zation. The manure is rich in organic matter, but is not a complete fertilizer; consequently, it should not be applied without the other ingredients neces- sary to supply the proper plant food. A mixture, including chicken manure, is as follows: A ratio of 1,100 pounds of chicken manure, 600 pounds of acid phosphate, 200 pounds of nitrate of soda, and- 100. pounds of potush. This mixture is not suitable for all crops or all types of soil, but the coun- ty agents or the fertilizer specialists at State college will be glad to furnish formulas to growers who wish them. One farmer applied the mixture at the rate of 850 pounds to the acre on a ,«rop of corn and secured a yield of 40 bushels per acre. ‘he farmer had in- tended to apply a side dressing of 75 pounds of sulphate of ammonia, but was prevented by ‘the excessive rains, The same mixture was used on en- By ensilage per acre was secured. This fertilizer is mixed like any oth- er home mixture. However, the ma- nure must be kept dry until ready for use. The manure should be cleaned off the dropping boards only when it is dry and be placed in sacks and stored in a dry place. The fertilizer can be mixed at the time of applica- tion. Lights for Turkeys Are . Demonstrated in Kansas By stimulating early production in the breeding flock, it is possible to hustle young turkeys on to a late Au- gust or-early September market and thus cash in on the high market prices prevailing at that time. The practica- | bility of such a plan has been dem- onstrated at the Kansas experiment station, says Successful Farming. In 1923 the station succeeded in stimulating early egg preduction by using morning lights. Under this plan of munagement the breeders were. sex- reguted from the regular college breed- ing fleck on December 1, 1982, and placed in an ordinary laying house, which allowed abour 14 square feet of floor space per bird. Morning light was turned on at 4:0 at the beginning, ;but as the days became longer this }time wes shortened. An ordinary - | watt bulb with reflector gave an am- | ple supply of light for each 15 by 15 }feet compartment. After the birds were once confined in the house they were not allowed to run outside until j the breeding season was over. ' Sunshine Prevents Rickets “If chicks receive a minimum of ten minutes dally of direct sunshine dur- ing the spring months.” says Dr. L. FE. Card, University of Hlinela, “and are fed a ration that is complete except for the anttrachitic factor, they are very unlikely to develop any symptom of rickets.” This conclusion is the resuit of an experiment conducted at Ithaca, N. Y.. to learn what the minimum of sunshine ts that will prevent rickets, The experiment at Ithaca showed a minimum dally exposure since that point ts one of the two areas in the United States that receive the least sunshine. Separate Turkeys, Chickens It is advocated that turkeys be kept away from chickens. that It Is impes- sible to rear the two kinds of fowls together. That is not true merely be- cause the two fowls are different, or because the chicken has some mysteri- ous power for evil over the turkey, it is simply because nine out of ten farm hens are infested with the cecal worm, which is the Intermediate host for the blackhead gern, and it is highly nec- essary to keep poults from coming in contact with this worm. If chickens were absolutely free of this worm, as well as other kinds, there would he ne danger In permitting them to run to gether. Poultry Facts Surpins chickens may be safely canned at home. . * s Two pounds of wheat have about as much value in the ponltry ration as a pound of bran and a pound of flour middlings. s s Since the rooster will Influence the chicks of each 12 hens, it becomes true that “the rooster is more than half the flock.” s s s Excessively liigh summer tempera- tures are known to cause a decrease in egg size.
