Julius Lindauer Has Erected Blue Ribbon Type Poultry House. By Jack Steele, Assistant County Agent. Julius Lindauer has one of the first poultry houses in the county made from the Blue Ribbon Poultry House plans, which were sponsored and printed by the Missouri Star Farmer. This plan was developed by the Missouri and Kansas State engineers and poultrymen. Poultry production is just a minor enterprise on the Lindauer farm. Besides his 320 layers, he has 25 head of whiteface cattle, and 5 to 8 litters of pigs twice a year. Some of the good features of this poultry house are that everything in the house is very convenient. On one end of the house he has a feed room, also automatic waterers, sufficient ventilation, and openings on all sides so that a lot of sunshine can enter the house. The egg cooling room is easy to get to. He has a basement or cellar type egg room at one corner of the poultry house. No refrigeration is needed except during the extremely hot summer days. Mr. Lindauer has a mixed flock of white leghorns and white- rock layers. He is receiving over 200 eggs a day from the 320 layers and is very proud of his new poultry house. He stated that even though the price of eggs is extremely low, he would still break even and possibly have a fair pro-lit from his poultry enterprise. Whiteface Herd. The whiteface herd of cows is tho major enterprise on his 300 acre farm. Mr. Lindauer believes in cross breeding, and uses a good Angus bull on his whiteface cows. He feeds all of the calves, starting with pasture during the summer, and then to a silage grain, and hay ration during the winter and spring, at which time the cattle are slow. He stated that he liked the cross, and believed that he got better gains in the feed lot from the calves on this plan. All the steers and heifers are fed and go to market at approximately one year of age. When replacements are needed for the cow herd, he purchases some young whiteface cows. None of the cross-bred cattle are kept for breeding stock. Another minor enterprise on the farm is his Berkshire hogs. Mr. Lindauer believes that it pays to raise a meat type hog. His son, Max, who is going into partnership with his father, said that they slaughtered four of the Berkshire barrows recently, and that the meat type hog dresses out a very desirable carcass. Mr. Lindauer is a very interesting farm in that he has balanced farming enterprises with the crops and livestock. He said that he hasn't had to buy any hay for the last two years for his beef herd, and that the cows have been on pasture all summer and are still on pasture. Mr. Lindauer uses fescue, brome, and orchard grass in his permanent pasture, and his hay is obtained from red clover and alfalfa. Mr. Lindauer also believes in having a good garden and truck patch, which all goes to make a complete farming enterprise.
