TURKEYS IN THE CABBAGE.

One bright woman we know has
cabbage patch practically free from
worms this year as a result OF the
assistance which she has received from
four little turkeys. When they were
but a few weeks old she would take
them into the cabbage patch with her
and hold them up so they could pick
the green worms from the cabbage
leaves. She kept this up until they got
the habit formed, and it was not long
before, at a call, they would follow
her to the patch, stand by her side as
she opened the loose heads, and nab
every worm in sight. The little chaps
seemed to show remarkable intelli-
gence III the matter and entered into the
game with d good deal Of anticipation

THE SELECTION OF SEED CORN.

THE SELECTION OF SEED CORN.
There Is no time which is put in to
better advantage or which fetches a
larger return than that devoted to Sc
Letting the seed corn during the latter
part of September and the first half of
October. The advantage which secur-
ing the seed ears at this time has over
the ordinary method of selecting at
husking time lies in the fact that
choice of the earliest maturing ears
can be made, a distinction that is i'm
possible when all of the crop is ripe
and ready to husk. For all the north
half OF the corn belt that type of corn
is best which bears it's ears low on the
stalk. This means as a rule that such
corn will mature early, ard while the
ears produced may not be quite so
large as those which one has to reach
above his head after they are much
more likely to produce hard corn, which
will keep after it is put in the crib. The
shape and depth of kernel and form
and type Of ears are of very trivial im-
portance as compared with the main
question as to whether the corn itself is
Of q variety which will mature a crop
in the latitude in which it is planted.

FIGHTING FOREST FIRES.

Much encouragement along the line
Of the successful fighting Of forest
fires is contained iii .. recent pamphlet
issued By the forest. service Of the de-
partmenf Of agriculture at Washington
This shows that only since Feb. 1, 1905,
have the government forest reserves
been under the administration Of the
forest service, yet so well directed have
the efforts of the department been
along the line Of fighting the destruc
tive fires that an excellent showing
has been made. The report shows that
during the year ending Jan. /, 1905, in
which period the reserve area under
the supervision Of the forest service
was 58,052,05 acres, 3S9,8T2 acres were
burned over, while during the year fol
lowing, when the total area under the
supervision of the department was
92,l41030 acres, the area devastated
by forest fires was only 152,557 acres.
All OF the employees in the forest re
serve service, except the lowest rank.
that Of forest rangers, are civil service
| employees. whose salaries range from
$40 to $1,000 per year Each super
visor, which is the term applied to the
head officer on whom the chief burden
| Of responsibility rests is expected to
devise means OF fighting the fires best
adapted to his locality. a constant
lookout for fires is kept from the ridge
trails and commanding points during
the danger season, while roads, trails
| and fire lines are constructed affording
rapid means of communication and
points Of vantage at which to fight
fire. In many reserves telephone lines
are being constructed with a view to
still further increasing the efficiency of
| the service. In several states the work
Of the federal bureau has been render
ed especially effective through cooper
alton on the part of the state forester
and the big lumber and timber COM
panies Immediately concerned. In Ida
no the governor is now inaugurating a
movement to organize the timber com
| panies Of that state with a view to
| securing cooperation in the prevention
and fighting of forest fires, the whole
campaign to be conducted under the
| supervision Of the federal forest serv-
Ice, which will furnish plans and as
sist the state organization in any way
it can.

while the COW relishes the green corn
from the garden early in the summer
she is just as eager for the stalks after

sugar as ordinary sugar cane If fed

There is probably no common weed
in the central western states that gives
the gardener more trouble than crab
grass. Coupled with remarkable vi
tally, it is deep rooted, practically
drought proof, and due to its habit of
roofing wherever the joints Of stems
come in contact with the earth. it
quickly occupies the ground and stran-
giles the life out Of anything il the
garden which comes within its grasp.
The only way to get rid of it is unre-
lenting warfare with s sharp bee and
seeing to t that none Of it goes to
seed. The matter Of discriminating ii
Is simplifie1 IN that it is an annual ana
its roots do not live through the winter.
