The Indian Game has many fine

one of the most popular of fowls. In

short and hard, green-black, with del

MAKING WAR ON INSECTS.
Set a Bug to. Catch eus'' Now the
Accented Motto,

The orthodox way to dispose of a
hoXious insect is to import from for
eign parts a beneficent insect which
will attack and kill it. This is the
plan which the guardians of certain
Massachusetts parks are considering
for the determination of the gypsy and
brown-tail moths There is an insect,
it appears, which regards the gypsy
moth as its natural quarry, and
good-sized importation of these crea-
lures would undoubtedly do the work
OF great many Industrious men with
spraying machines. It is just the same
method of procedure which has been
adopted to fight the San Jose scale,
which is itself supposed to be an i'm.
portation from Hawaii or Australia
The department Of agriculture has i'm
ported from China an insect which
preys upon the San Jose scale, and
these are. raised in cages of netting
and distributed to the fruit growers
of the far West Set bug to catch
bug may we'll be the agriculturist's
motto. According to a recent esti-
mate, the havoc wrought by dozen
species of insects causes this country
ar expense of more than $500, 900, 900
a year. These are the chinch bug. the
grasshopper. the Hessian fly, the pota-
to bug, the San Jose scale, the grain
weevil, the apple worm, the army
worm. the cabbage worm, the boil
weevil, the boil worm and the cotton
worm. The chief difficulty is that the
imported bugs may be just as objec-
tionable as the domestic, though in
different ways.-New York Evening

breaking Horses in South Africa.


The way in which horses are broken
to saddle in South Africa is one which
I have never seen practiced in any
other country, says writer. 1t is
charmingly simple, and has it's good
points as we'll as it's bad ones. 1t con-
sists of tying the head of the neophyte
close up to that of a steady horse by
means of a cord connecting the respec-
tive headstalls worn by these animals.
After they have both been saddled and
bridled, the 'schoolmaster" Is first
mounted, and then another man gets
on the young one, who is powerless to
buck, rear, or run away, on account
of his head being fixed. Besides this,
the fact of his being alongside another
horse gives him confidence, and, no
matter how wild he may be, he will
learn in short time to carry his bur-
den and regulate his pace according to
that of his companion. AS he settles
down quietly to work, the connecting
cord may be gradually loosened out
until at last it can be taken OF alto.

More Than 1,25O,C0O OF Them In Osh'
err States Of the Union.
There are more than 1,250,000 ma
tives of New York now resident in
other states of the country, and very
few of these, relatively, adopted the:
advice given to New Workers many
years ago to go West and grow up
With the country.
Only one state of the West has .
considerable population of native-born
New Workers, and that state is,
strange to say, Michigan. There are
100000 natives Of New York resident
in Michigan-more than 10 per cent
of the whole number of native New
Workers resident in other states.
After Michigan, but with much
smaller number of New York resi-.
dents, comes Illinois. The two West
ern states which have the largest
number of Native-born New Workers
next to Michigan are Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Emigration from this state has not
been on the usual lines of travel

been decidedly toward the northwest,
and especially into states along the
Canada border.
There are some curious facts shown
in the distribution of native-born
New Workers through the country.
There are nearly twice as many in
California, on the distant Pacific, as
there are in Missouri, in the Mississi-
ippi valley There are more natives
of New York resident in the single
state of Massachusetts than in all the
states of the South collectively.
There is a very small number OF
New Workers in Indiana, and actually
fewer by several thousand in Ohio,

Oats for Fowls.

From Farmers Review: I consid,
er oats one of the best feeds we have
for poultry of all kinds and ages.
buy oat screenings of the oat meal

small chicks and nothing could make
them grow faster or develop into bet.
ter fowls. If farmers would only try
this feed in place Of the corn meal that
they use they would soon learn that it
is not only cheaper but that 1t il
much better for the chicks. When
they get little older l pour boiling
water on whole oats and when cold
feed this to the chicks. always feed
oats mixed with corn and wheat to my
adult fowls and could not do without
them. For this purpose the heavy
white oats are the best. When feed.
ing whole oats to either fowls or
chicks one must keep plenty of grit
before them in order to avoid crop
troubles. If farmers would get away
from the corn they feed their fowls
and give more of variety, including
oats and wheat, they would increase
their egg yield and have healthier and
better chickens. Simply because they
do not raise anything but corn is no
excuse for feeding it, for they could
sell some Of the corn they feed and in.
vest in q few bushels of wheat with
profit to themselves.-O. P. Bennett

Breeding Pigeons.

6reeolnQ pigeons.
From Farmers Review: In the
breeding of pigeons one must first
choose the variety he thinks will suit
him best. There are many varieties
that are unable to feed their own
young on account of shape of beak.
and for this reason most fanciers pre-.
fer breed of pigeons that can rear
their own young without keeping what
are called feeders. Pigeon breeding is
like every other fancy or business,
there being plenty Of room at the top,
and, if one expects to be successful
with pigeons, he must in the first
place have fancy for them and then
be willing to pay fair price for good
birds, for, as rule, so called cheap
birds are not worth feeding. My ad-
vice to a beginner would be to pur.
chase but one pair Of birds, but let
that pair be first class. If not show
birds themselves, they must come
from good stock to be good breeders
or to breed show birds. Birds can't
transmit what they have not in them
selves. Purchase your pigeons Of q
breeder with a reputation for honest
dealing and from one that has demon.
strated that he knows how to breed
winners. Good birds in any variety
suitable to start a loft with are worth
from SO to $25 a pair. This price
may to some at first sight look exorbi.
tant, but know from long experience
that if one wishes to become fancier
and be successful he must start right
and it can't be done with cheap birds.
could write much on this subject,
but hope these few lines will influence
some amateur fancier to start right, so
that he will find it pleasure and a
profit to continue in the fancy.-Dr.
w. A. Gibson, Jackson County. Mich.
