When the plant is young it has ten
dency to send its tap roots deep down
n the soil to procure moisture and this
is the time when the form of the beet
is set. If water is given to soon and
to lavishly in the beginning the form OF
the beet is ruined for it has strong
tendency to rely on the artificial sur
face moisture rather than seek its own
at greater depth, becoming thus short
stubby or sprangling beet, altogether
undesirable. Thus irrigation may in
terfere with natural tencency in the
growth and maturity. The crop may
show tendency to drop its leaves and
become lighter in color. but this does
not indicate that irrigation is needed.
Irrigation must not be applied until
necessity demands it. The willing or
curling of leaves does not necessarily
indicate the need of irrigation. If the
beets recover vigor in the evening it is
sufficient indication that their wants
are supplied. When they begin to need
water they will drop and become dark
er in color and will not apparently re-
cover its vigor in the evening. Irri-
cation should not be given ill the plants
demand it.

less able TO stand rough conditions
than the scrub fowls that have come
up under all kinds of adverse condi
tons
The old breeds were at first devel
oped no man knows how. The Medi
teiranean breeds have the capacity
OF laying good many eggs and OF
not sitting, but il is not known that
these characteristics We're bred into
them Intentionally.
The Laneshan breed is one of the
Oldest In the world and was bred in
north China for centuries before be-
ing brought to this country How il
attained its form and color Is not
known. II is probable that the China
man of that country liked a black
fowl, a big fowl and one that would
lay many eggs in winter.
We have enough breeds now, bat
we are sure that many new ones will
come in during the present genera.

IDENTIFY Kept pure for centuries. 1t
originated in north China centuries
ago, It is the smallest of the Asiatic
breeds and is more active than any
of the others. Without doubt it is
one of the best laying breeds we
have, and probably exceeds in this re-
spect any of the other breeds from
Asia. A sood many poultry raisers
in the United States are so much in
love with the Langshans that they
raise them entirely. The flesh of the
LanSsA ran is white, while the flesh of
the other Asiatic breeds is yellow.
The flesh OF the Langshan is excellent
for eating, being fine grained, tender

Flies on Cattle.

Last week heard the owner of a
pedigreed bull tell his men to put
some fly eXter-linating preparation on
the back Of the bull, as the flies were
collecting along his back in such
numbers as to make him sore in
very short time. This bull was in a
pen less than quarter of an acre in
size. 1t may be that he would have
been less affected if he had had the
run of the pasture.
| know that flies are hard things to
fight and that the battle is not always
successful one. ! think that many
of our pastures ere so shaped and so
supplied with watering and feeding
places as to encourage the flies. This
is most certainly the case when the
watering and feeding places are at the
same end of the pasture as the shade
that the cattle will seek in the middle
OF the day.
Last winter at an Illinois institute
| heard one speaker tell how his pas.
ture was planned, with the object of
obviating this difficulty. He had his
feeding and watering places near the
barn, but the shade at the other end
of the pasture. The flies, il they stay
on the cattle, must stay with them
while they are grazing out in the open
pasture toward the shady place. Flies
do not like the sun and wind and
generally leave the cattle before they
get far and return 10 the feeding
troughs. In this way the. cattle are
secured from the attacks of the flies
during most of the day. l have not
tried the plan myself but 1T looks
feasible.-Frank Kidder, Cass Co, ILL.,.

Liaht Retards Eatteninn.

Some may be surprised 10 learn
that animals lay on fat more rapidly
in the dark than in the light, though.
N the whole, darkness is detrimental
to the health of animals. When ami.
mails are kept in a dark room they
use less oxygen and cast off less car.
bonic gas. Otherwise the carbon in
form Of fat is then left in the
body to increase the amount of fat on
the body, which is constantly being
added to by the changing of carbohy-
drate food into fat. In some expert.
ments made in Europe it was found
that animals added about 25 per cent
more fat when kept in the dark than
in the light. The dark, however,
stops the development of the skeleton
and the frame generally. The amount
of protein consumed is not apprecia-
bly, affected by darkness or light.

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted voic-
ing their sentiments as to the effect
of proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions Endorse the attitude OF
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
and commend the attitude of the
heads of American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity, have Joined
with the president on this question.
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the ''inadvisability of legis-
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country"
because such regulation would result
in litigation and confusion and in
evitably tend TO an enforced reduc-
ton in rates, irrespective of the ques-
ton of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
of the increased cost of their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because "the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea OF
American Jurisprudence, inasmuch as
it contemplates that a single body
shall have the right to investigate,
indict, try, condemn and then enforce
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers, pending appeal, which is mani
festly negotiable"
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation if any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant Improvement and
development of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against leg
islation adverse TO their interests,
they point out the fact that the
freight rates of this country average
only two per cent of the cost Of arti-
Giles to the consumer, thus making the
freight rate SO insignificant a factor
in the selling price that numerous
standard articles are sold at the same
price in all parts of the country"

Younu Chicks,

This is the time of year
when many broods of chicks are
coming out of the shells to claim the
attention of the farmer The feeding
of chicks is matter that cannot be
ignored. They cannot be fed at odd
times like the old hens nor will they
be satisfied with two or three feeds
day. They must have at least five
feeds each day, and only a small guam
tity of food can be given at each
feeding. No food must be allowed
to sour, and much of the food must be
given in a form that will make the
chicks exercise to get it.

The Culls.

Most of our farmers never
Gull out their focks and some
that do, Gull in the wrong direction.
When the time comes for selling off
the surplus stock the very best should
be kept for foundation Of the future
flock. Too often this future flock
must depend on the culls for its ex.
istence. The butcher or the travelling
buyer will pay more for the we'll
formed well-developed fowls than he
will for the other kind, and the owner
instinctively feels that his poorest
birds will develop into good ones in
time. Therefore he will sell off the
ones that bring the most money at
that time. The culls should go first,
and the best birds of the flock should
not be let go of at any price.

Scaly Leas.

When the fowls have scaly
legs grease them, and If the
greasing is thoroughly done the in
sects that are causing the scales to
rise will be killed. All insects are
killed by grease, which stops up .he
pores by which they breathe. II the
cold lard does not get into the remote
parts under the scales heat the lard
and dip the legs of the fowls into it.
This is treatment that does not hurt
the fowl, but is death to the insects
that make the trouble.
