but the wild stock, some OF which
never bloom. Some dealers grow all
roses on their own roots, others bud

Know About the Cows.

1t is astonishing how little most
mails One man will have lot OF
good, average and poor cows, and yet
have very little conception Of their
real or relative value. To demonstrate
this, one has but to 60 out to buy
a COW, and inquire as to milking
capacity Of any one of them at any
farm. He is told that such and such
a cow gives "pailful" OF milk twice
a day." and that 1t is very rich. Not
infrequently he is told that the COW
gives ten quarts Of milk morning and
night, with the inference that this
rate of milk giving is continued the
year around. But the scales and the
test change all these opinions. The
cow that was reported to be giving
about 40 pounds per day Is found to
be giving about one-third of that on
an average. The other rate would
have given over $4,000 pounds Of milk
per year and cows giving that amount
are not too numerous. The man that
buys cows to put into a dairy is COM
ing to demand very complete knowl-
edge of them. He wants q yearly
knowledge of weight of milk pro-
duced, as well as richness tests
throughout the milking period. He
will not, If he is wise, trust the hired
mans or any one else's guess as to
how much milk COW can give.

A Permanent Creamery at Purdue.


Beginning early in May, Purdue
University will operate the creamery
equipment Of its Dairy Department on
commercial basis, securing milk
regularly from farmers in the vicin-
ity. This step was prompted by the
difficulty experienced in securing q
temporary supply Of milk at such
times as 1t was needed for use of the
students. The equipment includes
the latest styles Of separators, COM
bined churns, watts and cream ripen.
ers. This equipment, with a supply
Of milk, regularly, will make possible
the study Of many questions not here
tofore touched on by the work Of the
Indiana Experiment Station. Prof.
H. E. Van Norman has secured H. N.
Slater of Fairmount, Mimi, as assist
ant in the creamery work of his de-
partment. Mr.. Slater is a creamery
butter maker Of wide experience,
graduate OF the Minnesota Dairy
School, and has served as instructor
Work at Minnesota. He was also an
instructor in the Creamery Course at
Purdue this past winter. Indiana
creamery men, butter makers and
dairymen should d-take advantage of
the establishment of well-equipped
dairy department at Purdue by calling
upon them for such information and
assistance as they can render, feeling
sure 1t will be cheerfully given.

Exhibition Ducks.

From Farmers Review: ! exhibit
each year at our annual local show,
but l make no more effort to prepare
the birds for exhibition than that made
to have good breeding birds. II
know of anyone showing better
birds than have patronize him
for eggs to the extent of my
means. In that way I have great
ly improved my stock. l always
take first premium at our local shows,
but l must say there is slender COM
petition. However. my stock serves
well. l have free range for my duck
lings and generally manage to feed
them once day after they are feath-
cred. Previous to that | keep them
closer and feed literally. l do not
think ducks receive half the atten-
ton they merit. and some of these
days when have time, l mean to start

tors. in the Pekin duck industry.
would like to hear more quacks from
the duck row in the show room. AS q
matter of fact we can sell all the good
breeding ducks we raise, and eggs are
much In demand, but no one seems
particularly interested in our show
record. The size of the ducks is well
looked after by buyers, and there are
so many questions about broilers. We
do not know thing about broilers, as
all our business has been to raise and
sell the incest breeding stock we knew
how to raise. Once year we picked
out some large well-shaped ducks and
took them to our exhibition and won
a blue ribbon, while most Of our COM
petitors had their birds disqualified
for black spots on beaks. 1t is not
that we are such ignoramuses about
everything that anyone showing
should not know that black spots In
the beak Of a Pekin duck disqualifies,
bu. just gross carelessness. Even the
judges say ducks are just a market
bird, as much as to say, not worthy of
exhibiting. Now am very proud of my
big Pekins and some of these days
when the children are grown up I'll
b. able to tell you all about exhibiting
them. In the meantime I'll have to be
satisfied to show them at our local
snow only, and devote all my spare
time to raising and improving them.
pending that time when I can leave to
go to all the big shows.-Hattie By

THE EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.
Completely Strips Bark From Tree
No Trace of Fire.


That much valuable knowledge as
to the effects of lightning may be
gained by study CT trees that have
been struck by it is maintained by
many English scientists. tree
which stood for many years on the
side of road few miles from Wal
lingford, in England. was struck by
lightning during violent storm a
short time ago and utterly destroyed.
Mr.. Percy E. Spielmann examined it a
few hours afterward and found that
the bark had been completely strip
ped off and flung to one side, and
that large branch had also been
torn away and splintered. He looked
for some token of fire but was unable
to find any He noticed, however,
that the inner surface of the bark
was marked longitudinally with thin
wavy lines. very close set, of which
the crests were about quarter of an
inch apart. He took several photo
graphs of the ruined tree and he re-
CARDS them as most useful, since they
show clearly the rending effect OF
lightning on fibrous tissue.

Warm Shoes.

From the Farmers Review: Women
suffering from cold feet could make
for themselves warm and comfortable
footwear by getting boys felt boots
and then purchasing broad soled slip
pers to fit over them. Usually 1t is
necessary to split the slipper down to
the toe, then make holes with an awl
and lace with a shoe string The slip,
per should be ~ size larger than the
shoe. For wear away from home, get
an arctic one-half size larger than
the shoe. Warm feet are essential to
health and happiness and would
lengthen the lives OF many women
who suffer from cold, especially those
afflicted with lung troubles.-Mrs. Ak

A Requisite In Poultry Raisina.

All classes of people may go into
the raising of poultry and do 1t sue.
cessfully. Sex is no bar to success.
In fact very many Of our most sue
cessful poultry raisers are women.
Some are semi-invalids who have
given up the great lines OF business
and have been told by their family
physician to get into something where
they can be out Of doors a great
deal, but where the amount of manual
labor will not be large. These and
others may succeed, but there is one
requisite for all and that is interest
in the business. The writer has
known of people intending to go into
the poultry business, when they hated
the sight of live hen. Asked as to
their reason for making the venture
they replied that they had been told
there was money in it. The invaria-
BILE advice given by the writer in
such cases is for the would-be in
vestor to keep out of the business.
Longfellow says 1.-The heart giveth
grace unto every art" The person
that has deep interest in poultry
can make success of raising any
kind Of fowls, for he will not be
stopped by the obstacles that are GER
tain to be discovered in the way.
The number of people tnat dislike to
have poultry around is very large.
But there are those that find great
pleasure in caring for fowls. Some
To-
fancy and sometimes another, but
whatever 1t be, they can see beauty in
1t. The man that mas a real interest
in fowls will make success of rails
ing them, If conditions be at all favor
able, but the fowl-hater is about sure
to fail.

Value Of Pasture for Pigs.

A recent bulletin of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture quotes
G. w. Waters as follows:
I'VE will now state two propositions
bearing on economy of production.
First, while the pig is not considered
primarily grazing animal, from the
fact that he cannot be expected to
make gains and grow fat If turned
onto common pasture grass like cat
tie. sheep or mules. yet, as matter
of fact the pig will make better re-
turns for the amount Of grass eaten
than any other farm animal. More
over, the pasture will increase the
efficiency and value of the grain fed
in connection with it. The second
proposition is this: The pig is grass
feeder and will eat too much Of rich
feeds, as grain, more tnan he can
use economically, more than he can
digest well, consequently greater
gains from a given amount of corn
are obtained II the pig is fed less than
he can or will eat This statement
applies with especial force in cases OF
long feeolng period. The two propo-
sitions just announced, are brought
out in tn, following report of tests
made at the Wisconsin station, six
lots Of pigs being used:
Lot 1, full fed, in dry lot, gained
LIS pounds per day and used 537
pounds of corn in making 100 pounds
Of gain.
Lot 2, full fed, on clover pasture,
gained 1.3O pounds per day, and used
AIT pounds of corn in making 100
pounds of gain.
Lot 3. three-fourths full, ON clover
pasture, gained 1.2O per day and used
377 pounds of corn in making 100
pounds of gain.
Lot 4, one-half full, clover pasture,
gained .87 pounds per day and requir-
ed 352 pounds of corn to make 100
pounds of gain.
Lot S, one-fourth full, clover pas
ture, gained "a pounds per day, and
required 243 pounds Of corn to make
100 pounds of gain.
Lot S, no gain, clover pasture,
gained SO pounds per day.
In lot there is a sudden drop over
lot l in the amount of corn required.
But in lot 3 there is a still larger
drop. Nearly three bushels less of
corn Is required to produce 100 pounds
of gain over dry lot feeding. For
growing hogs still larger reduction
OF corn is advisable. The rate of gain
Is slower, but 1t is vastly cheaper. 1t
Is however wise practice to full feed
for the last 80 days before market
ing"

Sword of Famous Leadsr Stolen.

The sword of the famous peasant
leader Stephen Fadinger, who in the
year 1926 led the peasant revolt in
Upper Austria. has been mysteriously
stolen from the Historical Art Court
Museum, Vienna. The thief must
have been most daring, for very care
full watch is always kept, and the
sword itself is most cumbersome
weapon. 1t is supposed that it was
carried away under great coat. The
sword has no intrinsic value, but has
most interesting associations.

In many cases in New England,

well-fixed types have been established

These varieties are frequently desig-

whom they have been grown. as boo.

Not infrequently some particular kind
of corn has been grown on the same
farm for several generations of fam

Probably Indigestion.

From Farmers Review: There is
disease prevalent among poultry, of
which the symptoms are, viz: A
very heavy breathing, they shiver as
with the ague. refuse to eat, stop lay
ing couple Of days and die, bowels
quite loose. The poultry were fed on
whole corn, soaked bread and cooked
potatoes, and seemed in good condi-
tion all winter. Will you please tell
me, through the columns of your pa
per, what ails them. Many Of the
farmers in this vicinity have lost
hens in the same way.-Mrs. Leo o.
Miller.
The symptoms, as given above, are
very meager, as ceasing to produce
eggs and dying can hardly be called
symptoms. The heavy breathing and
looseness Of the bowels would indi-
cate roup. If this is present the
mouths Of the birds should contain
an abundance of colorless, stringy
mucus, even If 1t does not show itself
in the eyes. Cholera is possible, but
not probable. From the data given
we should infer that the trouble is in
digestion, due to too heavy grain
ration throughout the winter. .Pota-
toes could hardly balance the ration,
as they are themselves overbalanced
in the direction Of the carbohydrates,
as is corn. 1t is not probable that the
fowls received a very large quantity
OF soaked bread. Every spring indi-
gestion carries off multitudes of fowls
that have been heavily grain fed
through the winter. Why the trouble
does not appear earlier we cannot
say. Perhaps the digestive apparatus
OF the fowls are able to stand a Ger.
tain amount Of abuse, and the limit
OF their endurance is not reached till
spring. II these fowls had been fed a
warm mash Of bran and shorts every
morning during the winter, or had re-
ceived daily green stuff in some form.
there would probably be no trouble
among them now.
