Raising Quail.

Harry Rudolph, says the Philadelphia
Record. has bred. Matched and raised to
maturity in captivity over 100 quail at
his home, on Van Pelt street, this city.
To those who have ever captured a
young quail and tried to make it live
this will be good news, for some day
there will probably be a quail farm
where this most valuable game bird will
be bred and raised In quantities. Recent
severe winters have greatly lessened
the natural supply Of quail, not only in
this section. but farther south as we'll.
and game protective societies have ex-
perienced much difficulty in obtaining
as many birds as they wanted for
breeding purposes.
Mr.. Rudolph's discovery Of the food
young quail require was not an acci-
dent, but the result of long study. He
has kept live quail for the last twenty
years, but only until recently has he
succeeding in getting the young birds
to live. All ordinary food. such as is
given young chickens, turkeys, etc., he
found to be useless with quail. the
young invariably dying. He tried brood
after brood and finally turned his at
tention to wild food, such as the birds
would be likely to get in their natural
state. He was successful and now saws
he can raise 65 per cent of all young
birds Matched. Just what this wild food
Is Mr.. Rudolph says Is his secret. His
success proves that 1t is a good one.
After the birds are ten days old they
will eat anything and live.
DISCRIMINATING Burdocks-Like all
biennials. the burdock is easily de-
stroyed in cultivated fields. It is
only in by-places, as fence sides. cor
ners, and around the buildings, pas
lures, and borders of woodlands that
burdocks give trouble. But even in
these they are not difficult to destroy.
Farmers who go over their fields twice
a year with their spades will soon have
no burdocks. In cutting them care
should be taken to strike below the
crown. Every plant cut in this way
must die. The cutting may be done at
any time Of the year when the ground
is not frozen. and 1t Is, of course, much
more easily done when the plants are
young. While it is not difficult to cut
off a small tap root with the spade. 1t
is much more difficult to accomplish the
same when the root has attained a d.
ameter Of an inch or more. Two or
three years Of persistent spading will
remove nearly all burdocks from the
by-piaces Of our farms.-Ex.
