opinion that the males kill many OF
their mates at this time.
The cows soon betake themselves to
some island, in order that they may not
be disturbed by wolves or other wild
animals. The moose calves are about
as homely and unsightly as ANYTHING

nearly as long as their bodies. and
when they are three or four weeks old
they weigh about 100 pounds.

The bulls have a peculiar grunting

A man can initiate the call after long

ceive them. The only way in which this
ruse can be successfully carried out
is to make your call at the same time
that the moose make their noise. In
this manner l have called them under

Of the business. When hen moults
she stops laying eggs and no amount Of
persuasion can induce her to again
commence doing business until she Is
ready. The California Experiment
Station has been making tests with the
object of shortening the moulting sea-
son of laying fowls. Hens usually
commence mouting in the early fan
and the plan Of the California Station
is to hasten this time into early sum-
lner. This is accomplished by a method
of light feeding, followed with. heavy
feeding. The egg-laying' is stopped
and moulting is brought on by one
half reduction OF the supply of nitro
genous food, meat, middlings. and the
like. The hens, under this plan, stop
egg-laying and go to moultng. In
about month, it is claimed, the moult-
ing process is all finished and then the
ordinary feeding is resumed: the hen
then begins to lay eggs early in tile
fall. The experiments of the station
have not been concluded, so that it Is
still unsafe to say whether or not the
new method will prove practically sue
cessful.

owners of greenhouses are able To
produce crops, weeks and months
before they could arrive at maturity
through natural courses. In addition
the crop is made to develop far more

such as nature could not accomplish

house gardeners in an endeavor TO

Bureau of Plant Industry, in order to
