WILL TRY QUAIL RAISING.

Harley Smith, a wealthy farmer
living near Portland, Ind, says the
Poultry Tribune of Freeport, ILL.,, has
founded new avenue for his enter
prise, and his farm of 400 acres is to
given over in the near future entirely
to raising quail. He has been ex-
perimenting for the last three years
and has come to the conclusion that
quail can be domesticated and can be
made decidedly more profitable than
any other kind of fowls, both en- ac-
count of the rapidity with which they
multiply and the little trouble and
expense it will require to prepare
them for market.
AS means of starting his new in
dustry he has not permitted a gun to
be fired on his land for four years,
and has seen the good results of this
policy in the gradual tanning of the
quail till now they will come around
his barnyard and eat with the chick
ems. He says there is marked diff
ference in the coveys out in the fields
and near the house, for when they
are approached in the fields they ap-
pear to be very wild but in the barn
yard they come about him and pick
up the grain and appear to have lost
all their wild nature.
This applies to the birds that live
out in the fields and that he terms
wild, but his experiments with one
brood which he raised by setting the
eggs under hen and bringing them
up with the barnyard fowls, have
convinced him they may be as COM
pletely domesticated as chickens and
ducks, and he has decided to enter
the business on scale that will test
its practicability and prove whether
there is really any money in it.
In order to do this he will secure
the eggs of the quail on his place
this summer and hatch them in an
incubator, and thus begin the domes-
tication at once, and before the birds
have become wild. He will keep the
females for future broods and sell
a part of the males, and he hopes to
have not fewer than 1900 egg-pro-
ducing birds when the season of 1908
opens. These broods will be raised
for market, but the stock will gradu-
ally be increased if the results are sat-
isfactory, and in time he will give his
entire attention to the industry.
"I have Investigated the subject
thoroughly" said he recently, land
am convinced that there is more mon-
ey in good quail farm than there is in
cultivating the ordinary crops. The
broods average anywhere from 20 to
80, the birds are easily raised and
there is always greater demand than
supply. I am in direct communica-
tion with the markets of Chicago, In
dianapo1is, Cincinnati and many other
cities, and if the domesticated birds
are out of season 1 can get a much
better price than now. 1 find that
the domesticated bird is larger, also,
than the wild bird, and this will be
in my favor. 1 believe l can have
1900 to $500 ready for market in
January, 1908, and I can more than
double that amount by another year. )"

ALFALFA PORK.

Certain alfalfa districts in Nebraska
are sending hogs to the Chicago mar
kets that have never eaten corn.
They have been grown and fattened
on alfalfa, some of the lots being con-
sidered good enough to top the mar
ket. Clover is the natural food for
hogs they like it, and it agrees with
them. Clover-fed hogs, finished on
peas, make the best bacon in the
world. 1t is this bacon, cured in
Canadian packing houses, that is so
much in demand, and that commands
such high prices in England. Our
corn-fed bacon has never met the fas-
tidious requirements of the English
epicure. The development of this
new departure will be watched with
considerable interest. Alfalfa yields
so abundantly in semiarid sections
that have heretofore produced very
few hogs, and its area is extending at
such rate that this new addition to
our pork supply will probably lead to
important results, both in quantity
and quality. y.-Agr1cultnral Ebitomia.

WHEAT WORMS.


The wheat worm, so-called, that
has done much damage in many parts
of the wheat region this summer,
seems to be a amystery to many. The
worms appeared about the time the
wheat began to head, and have ap-
parently remained until the wheat has
gone to stack. The damage by these
worms is done by them crawling up
the stalks and eating out the kernels.
As the wheat ripens and the grain
hardens, the worms may only eat off
the chaff, thus allowing the grain to
drop out
These worms, or, strictly speak
ing, caterpillars, are not anything
new; they have appeared before, and
will doubtless be seen again. Ento-
mologically classed they are of the
order Lepidoptera, of which there are
over 5000 species in America north
of Mexico. The caterpillars above
referred to belong to the family Noe
turnidae, so-called because the adults,
which are commonly called millers,
are usually seen flying about in the
evening after or about dark. There
are over 800 species of this family
alone in our country. 1t includes a
great many of Our most troublesome
caterpillars, such as the army worm,
cut worm, cabbage worm, corn worm,
apple worm, etc.
As there have been several spe-
cies observed to attack the wheat, it
is not possible to identify just what
ones it is, but they closely resemble,
some ofthem, the army worm. How
ever, they all have the same habits.
These worms that are now, or have
been bothering the wheat, when they
have become full grown burrow into
the ground an inch or so and prepare
winter quarters. They excavate a
small cell, create cement that makes
this waterproof to some extent, and
then make a cocoon or papery sack
in which they encase themselves.
During the time they spend in this
cocoon, or pupa case, they change
from the caterpillar to miller, which
emerges next spring to lay supply
of eggs in the wheat, from which a
new lot of worms or caterpillars is
hatched.
Some of these species do not get
their full growth the first summer, so
the worm lives over and begins work
early next spring. The cut worm is
an example of one of these.
The life history and an observation
of the work Of these pests will doubt
less suggest means of combating
them. The wheat that was drilled
in the stubble was attacked very much
more than that planted on plowed
ground. Flowing the ground throws
the pupas out nd breaks them
up SO that th ey are destroyed.
Careful fall blowing all the land in
fected is the most successful method
of combating. The adults usually
deposit their eggs near where they
have passed the winter, but some of
them may be blown to other fields at
some distance. Another means of
1essening the damage done by them
is to rotate the crops. 1t is very sell
dom that the same species of worms
will do damage to two different crops.
DR.. Henry Wallace, Of Wallace's
Fa,mer, says that these pests of bugs,
worms and weeds are Gods warning
that we must not deplete the soil by
growing continually, year after year,
the same crops on the same land. Ro-
tate the crops, or we will be rotated
off the land. ]. D. HANEY,

Fear not that He will lose His constant hold on
And let you wander on, alone and comfortless
But let this gracious thought, your life and soul
That He is ever near, in gladness or distress.
You may not hear Gods step as He walks by
But He is ever there, your path to choose and

CONSUME LOTS OF TIMBER.

In the United States a, 900, 900 feet
of pine lumber are used every year
for matches, or the equivalent of the
product of 400 acres of good virgin
forest. About 62o, 900, 900 cross ties
are now laid on American railroads
and 90, 900, 900 new ties are required
annually for renewals. The amount
of timber used every year for ties
alone is equivalent to 5000, 900, 900
feet of lumber. There are now stand
ing nearly 1000, 900 telegraph poles.
The average life of a telegraph pole
is about 10 years, and so that nearly
10000 new poles are required every
year for renewals. These figures do
not include telephone poles and the
poles required on new railroad lines.
The total annual consumption of
timber for ties and poles is equivalent
to the amount of timber grown on
100, 700 acres of good virgin forest.
For making shoe pegs the amount of
wood used in single year is equal
to the product of fully 5000 acres of
good second-growth hardwood land.
Lasts and boot trees require at least
500, 900 cords more. Most newspa-
per and packing paper is made from
wood. Although this industry has
been developed only within the last
40 years, yet the amount of wood
consumed for paper during that time
has been enormous. The total an
nual consumption of wood for paper
pulp is equivalent to over 800, 900, 900
board feet of timber, for which it
would be necessary, were the trees
growing together, to cut some 80,
acres of prime woods.

the Senator to his father in these
words: "You tell the governor that
although I am getting along in years

I can hear just as we'll /; my mental
powers are unimpaired, and if 1 have

A TIMELY sUCCOR.

Careful as they are to avoid trans
crossing the prophecies, clergymen
sometimes fall into grievous and en-
barrassing predicaments on account
ofaccidental slips of the tongue. This
was the case with Western preach
er, of whom ex-senator Thurston, of
Nebraska, relates this anecdote:
"There was a minister in little
Nebraka town who had two matters
which were very close to his heart.
He had prayed long and earnestly
that the mortgage on the church
might be paid off and that he might
have a son and heir. Not long ago
D0yG me to gladden. the heart and
home, and on the same day the rich
man of the village died, leaviMss : 900
with which to pay off the church
debt.
"The town was wild with excite
ment over the double event and bets
were freely made as to which subject
was closest to the minister's heart
and which he would refer to first in
his sermon on the following Sunday.
The eventful day arrived and excite
ment ran high. There was an ex-
pectant hush when the minister en-
tered the pulpit.
"My friends, he said, you know
what has been close to my heart for
many years, and you know of the
joyful happenings of the past week.
And now, my friends, I want you to
Join with me in thanking God for the
succor that has been sent US.
"And all bets were off,"
"Ir IS too bad" said the visitor
from home, "but people who acquire
wealth are not the same to their old
friends"
perhaps there is a reason for
that" replied Mrs. Cumrox reminis-
Gently. People who acquire wealth
have feelings the same as any one
else, and their old friends sometimes
have very superior way of saying
'Humph ! knew them when they
were as poor as Jobs turkey

Henpeck, "that you never call me
