national fame for the glamor OF poesy

muse has never had more gracious
theme than the royal vegetable that

made two blades of grass grow where
one grew before that It makes two
hogs grow where before there was
none. Although the farmers OF Cali
fornia knew thiryt years ago OF the
magic possibilities OF alfalfa. the great
plains are making up for their later
start by their present zeal. Kansas
is now the first OF all the states in
it's production. Within her borders

Poison For Field Pests.

The prairie dog pest Is being fought
very successfully in the prairie states
BY a new method OF using poison. The
plan is OF some interest to eastern
farmers because Of its possible use In
fighting other pests. such as wood
chucks. squirrels. etc. The poison Is
preparation OF strychnine. syenite OF
prepared by coating wheat with a
potassium. annis oil and molasses. The
poisoned wheat is carried in tin pals
and men on horseback distribute the
material near the entrance OF the
holes. A little practice enables the
men to distribute the wheat while
keeping their horses at a sharp trot.
Immense areas are covered In this
way. and the poison is very effective
and speedy. Most Of the prairie dogs
In q colony are dead within an hour
or two after the bait is dropped. The
poison Is used In the spring when the
dogs nrst come out from their winter
quarters. and before the grass Ia
formed to appease their hungry appe
tites. The exact directions for pre-
pairing the formula may be obtained
from the Forest Service OF the De
partment OF Asriculture.-American

No Sex In Eyes.

There is no possible way OF determ'
ininR the sex OF eggs. An eminent
poultry authority says that the best
way TO determine whether an egg con
tains a rooster or pullet is to hatch
and watch the chick grow for about
four months. II the chick crows, II
is a rooster. 1t lays an egg. It Is a
pullet. The American breeder In
years past has been inclined to worry
himself to al unnecessary degree in an
effort TO determine a method OF con
trolling or determining the sex OF the
unborn. THIS is q matter entirely too
delicate and too mysterious to be
handled by man. and he will probably
neves know any more about such
things than he knows now.-Farmers
