GUN EAS.

The guiena is said to be a native
of western Africa and is a very ac-
tive bird of rather wild nature. The
wild nature of the beautiful. fowls
is an objection with many poultry
men. There are two breeds of gum
cas-, the pearl and the white guiena.
The pearl guiena is of a wilder dis
position than the white gu;ena. Both
breeds are about the same size. The
flesh of the pearl guiena is darker
than that of the white, which makes
the white guiena preferable as table
fowl. Both breeds of guienas are good
summer egg producers. They begin
laying in April or May and continue
to lay until late in the fall The pearl
guiena is very sensitive about having
her nest disturbed and otter leaves
the nest if a part of her eggs are re-
moved. The white gu;ena is not so
particular about her nest and will
continue to lay in the nest if only one
egg is left in it. Our white guienas
often lay in the nest boxes in the
poultry house with the chicken hens.
Guienas are valuable insect destroy
ers. They will eat insects that the
chickens will not, such as the potato
bug and gooseberry worm. I noticed
our guineas picking the worms off
the gooseberry bushes and not worm
escaped that the guineas could reach.

ticles of food the same thing for every
meal, day after day? 1t is pretty safe
to say you would tire of your ration
in very short time It would be like
"eating quail a day for thirty days."
and your digestion would soon get out
of order.
A bad digestion and a poorly nour-
ished body is always the result of i'm
properly balanced food. When such
condition exists in either man or horse
the best physical effort can not be ex-
pected-it is impossible. No one or
two articles of feed will supply to
your horses all the elements of nu-
triton their system needs. If you
want the best results feed a ration
that contains all the elements of nu-
triton in properly balanced proper
tiOns.
Corn alone is not a well balanced
grain for feeding-neither is oats or
barley. Of the three grains oats is
probably fed more extensively than
corn or barley combined. Barley is
rapidly gaining favor as feed, how
ever, and when properly combined
with the other grains makes an ideal
ration.
We can not emphasize too strongly
the necessity for grinding the grain
part of the ration. The horse owner
who fails to do this loses rs to SO per
cent of it's nutritive value.
The hard outer covering of the grain
makes it difficult TO digest, and very
large proportion passes through the
stomach of the animal in an undi-
gested condition. An examination OF
the feeds will show the whole grain
and prove the truth of this statement.
When you feed ground ration you
prepare it for quick digestion. Your
animals utilize it more readily and
there is practically no waste. 1t should
be remembered that the horse digests
its food quickly, and whatever ration
you feed should be prepared with a
view to supplying the nutrition the
horse needs.
Your horses will work better and
keep in better condition on five or six
quarts of ground mixed feed than they
will on eight quarts of whole grain.
Feed variety of grains properly bal
anced, and have it well ground, and
you will not only have better horses

SUGAR eEETs FOR STOCK FEED.

The breeding up OF sugar beets as
well as other varieties of the beet
family has been fostered for upwards
of seventy-five years. Especial scien-
tific attention has been given to the
sugar beet as stock feed for about
fifty years, and today We have among
the best sugar beet varieties kind
that gives immense tonnage per acre
as well as the highest sugar content
--15 to % per cent or sugar in the
beet. two or three times more dry
matter than in the coarser and heav-
Ter kinds. These particular varieties
are the product of Mr. Otto Breus-
tedt, the most prominent sugar beet
breeder in Europe.
The Breustedt varieties on the right
kind of soil will furnish so to 80

tons of succulent feed, nearly one-fifth
sugar and large percentage of val
liable dry matter containing IL per
cent protein and over 10 per cent of
carbohydrates. The importance of
such a feed to farmers and dairymen
must be apparent.
While no single crop can constitute
a perfect balanced ration, sugar beets
contain a better balanced proportion
of the elements than go to make milk,
butter and fat than any other feed.
The growing of sugar beets for
feed is bound to become an industry
well worth the attention of all stock
raisers and dairy farmers.
Even now in the vicinity of some
American sugar beet factories the
farmers have already discovered that
it pays as well, If not better, to feed
sugar beets to growing and fattening
stock, than to ship them to the fac
tories by rail, even though they know
in advance OF putting in the crop I'M
der contract with the respective fac
tories the exact amount they are to
receive per ton of beets delivered.

THE HORSE NEEDS VARIETY.

One of the commonest faults in
feeding horses is the lack of variety
of feed, says horseman in an ex-
change. Considering the number Of
different grains and feed stuffs it
does seem that every team owner
should provide for his animals ra-
ton that would be perfectly accept
able to its system at all times 1t is
a fact, however, that not more than
20 per cent feed what may be termed
a well-balanced ration. The other 80
percent still cling to the old rations
of corn and hay or oats and hay, which
practical experiments have long since
proved to be expensive and wasteful.
When it comes to feeding your
horses and mules just think of your
own appetite. Suppose you were per.
forming hard, manual labor; how long
would you be content to eat two ar

REPLANTlNG CORN.

In my experience, / find that there
is only one way to replant corn, that
is to replant the field, after thorough
ly pulverizing and narrowing the soil.
No man ever earned his wages by
replacing the missing hills. The re-
planted hills are so much smaller
than the first planting that they are
shaded by the larger plants and never
reach more than one-half normal size,
Then, too, by the time they blossom
out the pollen has left the older
plants, and the little left on that
which is replanted is blown away.
This results in ears being nubbins,
half of which are generally left in the
field.

ificial 1t is natural, logical, and in
evitabie.
No farmer from this time on should
build wooden tank. The cost of
cement is but a trife if any more,
and the cement tank will be in the
bloom Of its youth when the wooden
tank would have to be replaced by
another.
Here are the directions for making
concrete tanks: Dig hole for the
foundation about eighteen inches deep
and whatever size you want the tank
outside measurement Put layer of
rock about the size Of ones fist in
the bottom of the foundation, and
pound down hard. Put in another
layer of rock, and pound down, con-
tinuing thus until within four inches
of the surface Of the ground, then use
four inches of concrete. The concrete
is made of good cement and gravel
mixed, one part Of cement to five
parts of good, clean gravel. If gravel
is coarse. make a filler by adding
sand to cement.
Make a box, inside measurement
same as outside measurement of tank
Use three sided posts at each inside
corner to prevent sharp corners on
tank when finished; for sides and ends
use one 2x4 around bottom and two
2x12's above, making tank feet 4
inches high. Then make another
frame or box, faring, being IL or 16
inches narrower and shorter at top
than the first box and 2S inches mar
rover and shorter at the bottom than
the first box Place two boxes square
ly on the foundation, one side of the
other, the top edges of the two frames
Or boxes being the same distance
apart all the way around. Then fill in
between the two boxes with concrete
in layers, working it in gently with
trowel lido not pound it in), carrying
the layer around and around the tank
to prevent building one side faster
than another and pushing it out of
line. When space is filled to top of
frames smooth top off nicely with
trowel Make a shade of canvas or
something to keep off the sun SO con-
crete will not set too fast, making
outside hard and inside soft.
After it has stood about forty-eight
hours draw nails and take frames
away, then give tank brush coat"
to cover any rough places. You then
have a tank that will last life time
if properly made. The walls will be
six or eight inches thick at the top, as
desired, and fourteen inches thick at
the bottom of the wall. The object
of this shape of wall Is to resist the
side pressure in freezing. The thick,
faring walls have tendency to make
the ice bulge upward instead of out.
All supply, overflow, and drain
pipes should be put in place and con-
crete filled in around them as the tank
| is being built 1t is well in putting UP
your first tank to have someone that
understands concrete work TO put ii
| in, as it is very important to have the
material in the right condition, and
when the job is begun it should be
| finished before stopping.

Corn Cultivation

There are several reasons for cult
walton, namely, to conserve moisture,
to aerate the soil, and to kill weeds.
No soil can produce its best yield OF
corn If weeds are allowed to rob the
soil of moisture and plant food. In
the preparation of good seeded
much has already been done toward
obtaining these results. More or less
of the weeds have been destroyed and
the surface soil has been worked into
a mulch.
We can go over SO much more
ground per day with disc or harrow
and save SO much labor that these
tools should be used as much as pos
sible. The harrow is one of the best
tools to destroy weeds If the soil is in
good condition. 1t will be the only
cultivator needed until the corn is
several inches high. 1t keeps the
weeds down and the surface well
loosened, which prevents capillarity
from bringing the water to the sur
face to be lost by evaporation.
Depth of cultivation depends on the
season and character of the soil. II
the season is wet and the soil heavy
it may be necessary to cultivate rath
er deeply, thus drying out and aerat
ing good layer of SOIL Plant food is
formed very slowly in a cold, wet
soil.
For most conditions in Nebraska
shallow cultivation with cultivation
having small shovels has given best
results. The shallow cultivation is as
efficient in killing weeds and saving
moisture, and does not cut off as many
roots from the plant as the deeper
cultivation. Whenever a root is brok
ell off the plant is injured to that ex
tent. The soil that is kept loose and
dry to form the mulch affords very
little plant food. 1t is, therefore, best
to use as thin a mulch as is practi
cable to retain the moisture, for the
soil used TO form the mulch belongs
to the richest layer of soil. The
depth of the mulch depends on the
type of soil In a light or coarse
grained soil the mulch may be shall
lower than in heavier, fine grained
soil.
The frequency Of cultivation de
ponds on the season. 1t should be
most frequent during the early part
of thes season. Then most weed
seeds are terminating and the effec
tiveness of the mulch decreases most
rapidly. The soil needs aeration tc
aid it in warming up.
After rain sufficiently heavy tC
beat the loose particles of soil to
gether and destroy the mulch, the
soil should be cultivated again as
soon as it can be worked. Level cul
tivation should be followed through
out the season, as there is less sur
face exposed to the drying action O
the sun and wind. Cultivation SHOULD
be kept up until the corn is sure o
enough moisture to mature it,
There should be no such thing al
laying corn by. Much moisture is re
quired to mature crop of corn ant
cultivation is the only means of say
ing the moisture. After the corn il
too large to work with an ordinar.
double cultivator, the mulch may b,
maintained with single or one-hors,
cultivator. The cultivation should b,
shallow, so as not to greatly damage
the roots. If the cultivator runs sew
eral inches deep, late in the season /
is probable that the damage done tt
the plants by breaking off roots, will

Hermann Sons Committee Has a

 The Order of Sons of Hermann are very much exercised over the conduct of the West Haven police at it's outing at Lion park last Monday.

 Athe gate as the out-of-town people left they were attacked by a crowd of young hoodlums, who tore off the badges and souvenirs worn by the men and women, and although repeated at tempts were made to get the police to interfere it was impossible, as one of the committee states to get the men "to leave the beer kegs long enough to do their duty.
 Al midnight the police, it is claimed, without authority, shut off the light. ! They had not been hired for any such purpose, and the committee is quite indignant over the treatment accorded
