The Dandelion In Lawns.

The common dandelion is a weed
which gives much trouble in lawns,
since it spreads rapidly. is not injur-
ed to any extent by moving and I'M
less carefully dug out is very apt to
ruin the turf 1t is a common prac-
tice to give perfect freedom to the
women and children who every spring
invade the roadsides and parks or pri
vate grounds in search of dandelion
greens" Tests carried on by w. M.
Munson at the Maine experiment sta
ton showed that, contrary to the usu-
al belief, however, this is very bad
for the lawns, for in addition to the
injury caused by the knives and trow-
els used in digging the roots it is very
probable that every top or crown cut
off will in short time send up in its
place from one to six new crowns.
Professor Munson advises as pre-
ventive measure thick seeding when
the lawn is made, for if the young
grass plants do not cover all the space
weeds will be sure to grow. Renewal
of badly infested lawn by sodding
or seeding is advised. If only a few
dandelions are present they may be
removed by careful and deep digging,
a little grass seed being sprinkled over
the space left by the removal of the
weed.

DAIRY RATioNs.
What Experiments In This Country
and Ia Germany Have shown.

and Ia Germany Have shown.
DR. 81. F. Armsby of Pennsylvania
State college declares that the study of
rations is in a transition state. In the
comparison of feeding stuffs the per-
eentage of digestible matter in them
was formerly supposed to be the cor
rect measure of their value, but this
idea failed to take into consideration
the amount of energy the animal has
to expend in digesting the food, some
foods being much more easily digested
than others containing the same
amount of digestible nutrients.
The animal can obtain much more
from an easily digested food contain
ing the same amount of nutrients than
from one that is not easily digested,
because it has to use so much energy
in the work of appropriating the lat
Ter. It is probable still that feeds of
the same class can be compared on
the basis of their content of digesti-
BILE nutrients that is, concentrates can
be compared with concentrates, fod-
ders with folders of the same general
class, ETC. but otherwise the tables
used heretofore are not reliable
guide.
German experimenters feeding for
beef have found that one pound of
protein and one pound of carbohy-
drates produce approximately quar-
ter of pound of fat from the con-
centrated forms of grain, and from
coarse fodder II pound, suggesting
that the difference is due to the great
er work of digesting the latter. Ex-
periments have shown that the dairy
COW averaging around 1000 pounds re-
quires about seven pounds of nutri-
ents for maintenance and about two
and a quarter pounds of digestible
matter for every pound Of solids in
her milk and six and a quarter pounds
for every pound of fat in her milk.
DR.. Armsby does not suggest the
feeding of ration as wide as ITO;
but, on the other hand he does not be-
lieve in striving to make it as mar
row as lis when it has to be doIee at
much expense. Experiments have not
revealed that foods have value aside
from their nutritive value-that is,
that foods do not act as stimulants in
excess of their feeding value. Palata-
bility is useful in inducing a larger
consumption. 1t is probable, although
it could not be proved, that it is also
useful in improving the digestibility.

Hasten the Day.

In the list of our poultry judges are
some of the cleanest men and finest gen.
tlemen that can be found anywhere There
are not lacking, however, those who re-
gard it as mark of manliness to be able
to consume large quantities of liquor.
There is an increasing number of poultry
associations that are getting tired of this
sort of thing. We are not running a tenn
perance paper, and we wouldn't require a
judge to sign the pledge before we en-
gagged him for show, but we have an
idea that it will not do an association any

FROM SHELL TO BROODER.


Cooling and Turning the Eggs.
Hardening Chicks In the Incubator.
It is not difficult to secure good
matches from good eggs. Almost any
one having a good machine can obtain
satisfactory hatch. Authorities diff
fer somewhat as to the benefits de-
rived from cooling the eggs, and a few
deny that any good can come of the
practice. but the consensus of opinion
seems to be that reasonable cooling is
decidedly beneficial. In cold weather
the best matches seem to be secured
from eggs which are cooled slightly
the twelfth day and for an increasing
period each day until the eighteenth,
inclusive, when they are allowed to re-
main out of the machine until the
shells feel but slightly warm to the
touch but in warm weather they are
cooled a few minutes on the fifth and
the time increased daily up to the
eighteenth day, after which they should
not be touched again. On this day
they remain out fifteen or twenty min
utes and sometimes, on very warm
day, for half hour. Do not disturb
the trays from this time until the
hatch is complete Cooling should be
done when turning the eggs at even
ing.
When all the chicks appear to be
pretty well dried, open the machine,
remove the trays and, closing the door,
except a minute crack for better ven
tilation, leave the little fellows in the
egg chamber for twenty-four to forty
eight hours, gradually decreasing the
temperature until the thermometer
registers 50 at the end Of twenty four
hours AS the thermometer hangs
above the chicks, it is probably de-
gree less at the chicks heads. | have
found this plan to work very satisfac-
torily. The chicks go into the brooder
accustomed to lower temperature
and ready to eat anything that they
can find. I believe that most machines
do not furnish enough fresh air for the
chicks after they are well dried off,
and I open the door just little that
they may be supplied.
The temperature of the brooder
should be fixed at 90 before the chicks
are put in. as its complement of chicks
adds 2 to degrees when they are I'M

During the summer months, espe-
cially in a dry time, there is usually
a scarcity of flowers for decorative
purposes. People want them for
churches. for Sunday schools and for
special occasions. and nothing can
equal the gladiolus for such purposes.

THE DAIRY cow

AS a result of several tests made IN
der the supervision of Professor 3. B.
Voorhees, of the agricultural expert
mental station at New Brunswick,
N. J., it has developed that H. D. Roe
of Augusta, N j., has a Holstein COW
that now holds the worlds record for
producing milk. The record shows that
in seven days the COW gave 620.95
pounds of milk and 26.S7 pounds of
butter fat, which produced 1892
pounds Of butter. On two occasions
the assistants were present for forty
eight hours with the COW noting the
feeding, milking, etc.
The record for thirty days is 2,640
pounds of milk. ITO ITO pounds of
butter fat, making 137 6-10 pounds of
butter. This is higher than the average
dairy COW in New York or New Jersey
produces in one year.
The COW is named Aggie Cornucopia
Pauline and has been valued by the
Holstein- Friesian Breeders association
at $4,000 The Holstein-F riesian as
sociation provided for the expense Of
the tests. The COW is thoroughly bred
and was MIXED four times each day.
Until these tests were made the
worlds record was held by Sadie Vail
Concordia, owned by Mr. Won Hayne
Of New York state This cows record
ives 1910 pounds of butter in seven
days.
