COUNTY AGENT’S COLUMN FROM 1925

COUNTY AGENT’S COLUMN

Poultry Culling

The following demonstrations of poultry culling have been arranged for the first week in August:Monday, August 3: 10:00 a.m. Mrs. E. P. Smith, Smithfield; 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Leslie Tingle, Lacie
3:15 p.m. Mrs. J. C. Montfort, C-burg.
Tuesday, August 4: 9:30 a.m. Mrs. O. L. Barnett. New Castle-Sulphur; 1:30 p.m. Mrs. E. W. Smith, Point Pleasant; 3:15 p.m. Mrs. Clyde Willis, P-ville
Mr. J. R. Smyth, Poultry Specialist of the University of Kentucky, will do the culling at these demonstrations. Other culling demonstrations are being arranged by the County Agent. If one is not scheduled in your community, call the County Agent.

Sheep

Lambs that will not be placed on the market before fall should be given the treatment for stomach worms. The worms cause the lambs to lose flesh and may eventually cause death. Older sheep are also affected and should be given the treatment.

The most common treatment is to make a solution of 2 ounces of fresh bluestone in one and one half gallon of water. Of this solution, a lamb should be given about one and one half ounces and an old sheep three to four ounces. A coca cola bottle is best for drenching. This treatment should be repeated in 10 days and every month or six weeks thereafter. Those who do not know how to give the treatment should call the County Agent for a demonstration.
