have the liens shed their feathers ear- iy in the fall. so that the new plumage may be grown before cold weather be- gins In case molting is much delay ed the production of the new coat of feathers in cold weather is such a drain on the vitality of the fowls that few if any eggs are prorduced until spring. while if the mott take place early In the season the fowls begin winter in a good condition. and with proper housing and feeding may be made to lay during the entire winter. The station reports tests on two year old Rhode Island reds and white Leg horns of the Van Dresser method of promoting early melting which con- sists in withholding food either who'll ly or in part for few days. which stops egg production and reduces the weight of the fowls and then feeding heavily on a ration suitable for the formation of the feathers an dthe gem eral building up of the system. Be- ginning Aug 5, the chickens received no feed for thirteen days except the very small amount tey could pick up in 15 by 100 foot runs. They were then fed libera1ly on mash, beef scrap corn, wheat and oats--i, C., ration rich in protein or nitrogenous matter which is believed to be especially valuable for promoting the growth of feathers as well as muscle. The hens stopped laying on the seeenth day. Thirty days after the test began the Rhode Island reds had practically a complete coat of new feathers. had be- gun to lay, and within a week from that time one-half of the hens were laying regularly while another lot of Rhode Island reds which had been fed continuously were just beginning to mott and the egg production had de- clined materially. The white Leg horns were a trifle slower in molting than the Rhode Island reds, but other wise the treatment affected them in a similar way.
 The results seem to warrant the gen. eral conclusion that mature hens which are fed very sparingly for about two weeks and then receive rich nitrogenuous ration mott more rapidly and with more uniformaty and enter the cold weather of winter in better condition than similar fowls fed con- tinually during the molting period on an egg production ration Texas Stockman and Farmer.

Alfnlfn for stcers nnd Lnmh..

Tn order to throw some light unon the question of feeding in New Mex leo a series of experiments have been inauguratcd by the Territorial Experiment Station. The results thus far obtained from the investigations made have just been published iN Bulletin No 50. entitled Steer and Lamb Feeding" A set of photagranhe and tables are included fin the bulle- tin.
 Tn these experiments 1t was found that when the price of alfalfa dropped below 80 per ton. baled. 1t could he profitably fed to steers from the stack and when 1t dropped below $10 per ton baled it could be protitably fed to lambs from the stack. One lot of steers returned $12.S1 per ton For the alfalfa hay fed and one lot of lambs returned $1S.S2 per ton for the alfalfa hay consumed. The lambs that paid the highest price for the alfalfa hay consumed were fed all of the cracked corn they would eat. This corn cost 5I.27 1-2 per 100 pounds.
 In this brief article space will nor allow a full discussion of the reslts' but those who are interested in feed ing can secure copy of Bulletin NO. 50 by writing to the Director Of the A erinilitHrai .ExDariment station at

Johnson Grass.

1e Gladys, Texas. Farm and Ranch:
 As Mir. T. w Morriss has spoken of Johnson grass so discouragingly l will give my experience in a country badly infested with it.. Ten or fifteen years ago the land on Clear Creek, Montague County, Texas, was of the finest rich bottom land It would grow fine corn cotton and small grain and sold for a handsome price. Then came Johnson grass and people worked at it pretty much as MT. Morris did with the same effect. They gave it up and sold 1t at low price as pasture land. Some of the same men are back now (after paying a double price for it) success fully raising corn and cotton on the same land. Last year farmer with his three or four boys, the oldest of which is sixteen years of age, made thirty-nine bales of cotton in what was short while back, solid Johnson grass pasture and this year no grass came on the field. I bought a place four years ago. Johnson grass) work ed it in cotton three years and sold at profit. I bought another last January which was mostly turned to the stock. and thinking perhaps to be- nefit some one will tell what I've done
 
 have thirty-five acres in cotton, eleven acres in corn and twelve acres in feed stuff. hired labor above what one hand could do in thirty days and with only one team and cultivator. Break the land as early as possible and If very heavy sod break 1t shallow. just under that thick cluster of roots. If the ground is dry. this you have turn ed up (just any way, blow with cul- tivator or harrow it) and killed this crop by drying out. That only starts you and fixes the land so you may kill the grass after. In short, fix your land so q heel sweep will run. Tn the spring when the grass is coming and looks fine. don't be in too much of a hurry to run your sweep if you are sure your land is in shape for 1t to run. You can let it get six or eight inches high and kill it the same as when it first peeps out (and that don't come so often). Lay. 1t off as you wish to pant run through the middle with 0 blow; being sure to cut all the ground Go deep. Let the grass get up as before or until you are ready to plant. Re- peat with sweep, planting In last fur row made. not failing to blow deep. Have blows sharp so they will cut all the time and not slip over.

After fixing my land as I have described I have plowed four times and hood twice, just cutting be- low the main bed I will blow my cot ton once more it is now blooming and to get rid of the grass entirely I will go over 1t again with a hoe about Au- gust 1, at the rate of four or five acres per day. I do not expect to be bother ed with Johnson grass next year. Of course there will be some produced from seed. but 1t will not be in my way working cotton and after next year can do as I please with 1t as 1t will all be gone. You cannot do this in corn for 1t will come from the seed after you quit your corn. Johnson grass is beginning to have very little terror to the farmers on Clear Creek and land Is advancing rapidly. almost doubled in the last three, years.

Alfalfa. Vetch. Burr Clover.

MT. c. G. Jackson. Loango. Ala.
 Dear Sir:-I send you bulletin of al- falfa but I should not expect alfalfa to do well on acid soil or sn any land where sweet gum is the principal growth. I expect that you would have better success with either hairy vetch or burr clover, either one sown in Sep tember alone or mixed with oats or rye. Hairy vetch will need to be inocu- lated as directed in the bulletins of this station, using soil from a spot in the garden where English peas have grown. Both vetch and burr clover are annuals. needing to have the stock re- moved each May to allow them to re- seed the land. II ED

Amusements fin Operation.

There was no cessation of innocent amusements" at East Lake, the sum- mer resort of Birmingham. today. the City Council of that suburb having re- considered their resolution prohibiting the operation of the toboggan slide. the carousals and other innocent amuse- ments" on Sunday. Some weeks since there was big howl from the church element of not only East Lake but that territory between East Lake and Bir- mingham against these amusements running on Sunday. A vote was taken and a majority of the seven Aldermen voted to shut down everything except the music concerts and the boating and bathing amusements. Another meeting was held during the past week and there was a reconsideration on 8 vote of four to three. but all patrons will be warned not to make so much noise. Hereto fore the patrons of the toboggan slide in particular could be heard for four blocks. From three to five thousand
 people go to East Lake every Sunday.
