winter wheat Report.

In the winter wheat report for I'LL
nois only the central and southern
counties are involved, as but little is
grown in the northern part Of the
state. Fifty per cent Of the returns
show that condition is. good and Of the
remaining so per cent two-thirds indi-
cate fair condition. Four correspond
ents in the central part OF the state
and six in the southern report damage
by Hessian fly. Although crops are
not suffering, about half our CORE
spondents state that the ground is dry
and rain will soon be needed. The
other SO per cent report moisture
abundant and in few counties, nota-
bly, Livingston, Massac and Iroquois,
here has been too much rain to suit
the farmers. = <@r -

In northern Michigan, where it was
protected by snow, winter wheat is in
good condition, but winter killing and
the ravages Of the Hessian fly have not
left much in the central and southern
portions Of the state. A large part
of the wheat area will be plowed I'M
der. What remains has improved
with the favorable weather of the last
ten days. Moisture appears to- be
abundant enough to suit the needs of
all crops, only one correspondent re-
porting any deficiency.
F. Ohio correspondents report condi-
lions very similar to those found in
michigan. The bulk of the crop has
been ruined by winter killing and Hes
sian fly. In the best reports received
not more than two-thirds of a crop is
predicted. A few counties are getting
dry, but in almost all parts Of the
state moisture is abOundant and the
wheat that has survived is improv-
ing.
A few correspondents in Kentucky
state that moisture is deficient, but
the majority report an abundance and
some too much rain for. corn planting.
Wheat is in splendid condition and a
good crop is anticipated. There are

horticultural Observations,


The annual returns to the State of
Florida for fruits and vegetables ship
ped out is said to be about ST, 1000, 900.
This is very much less than it would
be had the great orange groves not
been cut down by the severe cold spells
of the last few years. >.z rs. ..s.
5 It is reported that there is quite
general movement among the truck
growers Of Texas for organization.
This is to be commended, for by such
combinations the better shipment and
distribution Of the products can be OBJ
tained. If the growers Of vegetables
and fruit ever become fully organized
!. It will be possible to prevent inferior
goods being put on the market.

Kafir Corn as Stock Food.

When fed alone, stock tire of Kafir
corn much more quickly than they do
of corn. Some stockmen feed red and
white Kafr corn alternately. This
gives some variety, but only partially
overcomes the defect. When Kafr
corn is fed with feeds rich in protein,
as alfalfa, soy beans, bran, or oil meal,
animals relish it for, any length OF
feeding period. Hogs fattened on kafr
corn alone get so that they loathe it,
but fed Kafir corn with either alfalfa
hay, soy beans, or skim milk, they
have keen appetite for every feed.
This lack of protein (desh and blood
forming materially and an excess of
starch and other heating substances
makes Kafir corn an undesirable feed
to be given alone, but combined with
the other drought-resisting feeds-alf-
alta and soy beans-makes a ration
containing all the material in proper
proportions needed for meat and milk
stock. .,t'
Kafr corn is very constituting
feed, and for this reason, when fed
alone to either horses, cattle, or hogs,
induces an unhealthful condition. Fed
with other constipating feeds, such as
prairie or timothy hays or corn fodder,
the condition is made worse. On the
other hand, alfalfa and soy beans are
laxative feeds, and either fed with
Kafir corn secures healthful condi-
ton of the animal, as shown by the
glossy hair, oily skin, good appetite,
and good returns. s.#s -

Poultry Notes.

The food that fowls get has some
thing to do with the fertility of the
eggs. 1t is entirely reasonable to sup
pose that a well-balanced ration will
put the bird in better condition for the
production CT fertile eggs than any
other. Food that contains too much
of the carbohydrates is very likely to
have an influence against the fertility
of the eggs. -.:....* X ....".
The egg producing capacity Of flock
can be built up only by years of con-
slant attention. It is true that by high
feeding the egg producing power OF
fowls is increased, and it might be
thought that pullets from eggs so pro-
2duced would have the ability to lay
more eggs than the ordinary hen. Yet
poultry raisers tell us that such is not
the fact; that this forcing seems to
react on the subsequent generation.
We do not doubt that this is true. It
takes many generations to establish in
improved habit Of any. kind. 3.7z4zs
&lS{$s 49, ..*-sS2zs t. 55 = E$a.$sssEE ~ ys}z
The shape OF the hens eggs IS doubt
less due to generations OF unconscious
selection. Most of our eggs have . q
certain plumpness, and this is the kind
that is usually selected for setting.
Probably the shape OF the eggs was
originally longer than at present, for
now frequently we have hens that lay
very long eggs. This would seem to
be the result of the operation OF the
laws OF ataVism. Long eggs are not
SO acceptable to the buyer or eater: as
eggs Of an oval shape, and an egg that
Z too round is as Objectionable as the
long egg. True, this is but a notion.
but it is as easy to have a ell-shaped
egg as any other kind, as this can be
secured b selecting only wen -shaped
egEs for matching PURPOSES.
