Cut Grass for Poultry.

If ones fowls are confined during the
summer some plan should be devised
so that they may have an hour or Two
on grass at night, even though it re-
quires the time of one person to keep
them from getting into mischief. II
this can not be arranged, then have ii
part Of some ones business to see that
an abundance of freshly cut grass is
thrown to the fowls each night. The
grass from the work of the lawn
mower Is best for this purpose, for It
is short enough for the fowls to swal-
low. Before this grass is thrown into
the yard a space should be cleared so
that the grass will not be soiled. The
Importance of this daily green food for
fowls in confinement can not be ig-
nored, for it is almost impossible TO
keep the fowls in good laying condi-
ton and especially expect them to be
good layers in the fall without con-
siderable quantity of green food dur
ing the summer. To furnish a little
variety in this line save the vegetable
tops and chop them fine, all mixed to-
gether, and feed them while fresh and
green, each day.

A Swine Census.

The Illinois Agricultural Expert
ment Station has been making an at
tempt to get up the pig totals of the
world. The station statistician comes
to the conclusion that the worlds pig
numbers come to 117,OO0OOO head, and
that forty-seven million, or two-fifths Of
the whole, must be credited to the
United States, Germany, Russia, Hun
gary, the United Kingdom, and Can
ada comes next in order, and FIVE divi-
siOns of the world, including Poland
Denmark and Holland, having totals Of
about one million head. The extraor-
binary matter in connection with the
pig totals of the United States is the
fuctuation. In 1892 the States had
about fifty-two million; in 1901, fifty
seven million; and in 1908, forty seven
million. A vast country like the
States is, of course, subject to great
financial GIBBS and flows. and expert
ence has proved that the pig prod
ucts," of which bacon and hams are
the chief, are the first to be Influenced
by good and bad times, because pigs
are more easily bred and disposed Of
than any other class of farm stock.
High prices do not necessarily stimu
late numbers. When figures are ruling
above the normal States farmers are
prone TO market most of their stocks
as rapidly as possible for fear Of a
collapse, and their action leads fire.

The Hessian FIy-Ou Oldest Pest.
Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one of the oldest of all the crop
pests in this country, and that its
name was given it as a result of the
fact that it was brought to the United
States in the straw included in the
impedimenta Of the Hessian troops
sent over against the American revo-
iUtioniSts by George III. in 1776. 1t
was first noticed on Long Island.

or about six or seven per cent of the
total crop. The chronological Bureau
has studied it long and closely, and the
recommendations made to wheat grow
ers have undoubtedly kept the damage
far below what it would otherwise
have been; and yet. in spite OF the best
efforts of the scientists and the farm
Crs who act on their advice, the fiy
got beyond control during the season OF
four years. ago and destroyed fully
eighty per cent of the crop in the In
tested region, the resultant loss being
in the neighborhood of thirty-hve or
forty million dollars. This extraor-
binary and unfortunate development
was due to weather conditions favor
able to the pest and to an unusual
scarcity of its parasitic energy. This
parasite. which forms inside the body
of the fly, has been secured in large
numbers by the entomologists and Ito

If census of the population by sea-
sons of the year could be taken, it
would be found that there is a con-

toward higher attitudes, during the

than in January, whereas the reverse
is doubtless true of Florida and south
ern California. Such movements are
more extensive now than they were

According to a well-known bureau
chief, who for obvious reasons does
not care to be quoted, the days of the
woman clerk in the departments are
numbered. His reasons for this asser-
ton, briefly stated, are that better
work can be accomplished for the gov
eminent at less cost without them and
that the frequent recurrence of the
woman in the case" whenever there
is a scandal in one of the departments,
is rapidly bringing men high in the de
partments to the same conclusion. He
also asserted that members of the
Civil Service Commission felt much
the same way and, while under the
law the commission is prohibit from
open discrimination, no favOrs are now
being given woman clerks as in the
past.

The White House up to date has cost
about $3,000,000 of which nearly one
third has been paid for furniture and
interior decoration Originally the
State of Virginia gave $4,000 to build
it, Maryland adding $4,000. To main
tain the White House costs from S25.-
GOO to $4,000 year, the appropriation
for this purpose varying considerably.
But every now and then there is some
thing extra to be paid for and Congress
is called upon to give an extra $4,000
or $4,000. The biggest pull of this
kind ever made was for $55O,000, which
was spent couple of years ago in a
partial reconstruction of the interior
and in the addition of winglike ter
races and an office building. Every
now and then new set of china has
TO be provided, and usually that costs
about $25,000-ra Their a big sum from
the everyday housewives point Of
view. Repairs run up to large
amount annually, white paint being an
important item.

One of the greatest difficulties the
government weather observers have is
to find out exactly how fast the wind
is blowing. Theoretically, it can be
told from the rate of the rotation of
thermometers, but it has never been
proved positively that the result indi-
Gated is right. In extreme gales, when
100 miles an hour is approached or
passed, the instruments are almost
worthless. To provide something bet
ter, the weather men are preparing to
make a few gales of their own, regTI-
late them past an thermometer at a set
speed. and note the result A wind
tunnel' is to be set up on Mount
Weather, various thermometers put in
it, and a choice collection of breezes
drawn in from the world at large will
be sent through at speeds ranging from
a mile an hour up to a hurricane. The
scales on the thermometers will then
be marked to correspond as definitely
as is that of a thermometer.
