Following the unusually dry summer
Of last season the coming spring would
seem to be an especially favorable time
for the proper thing of the low acres
which under the short rainfall of last
summer proved so rich and productive.

an era of dry years the coming season
will be an especially favorable one for
making the Improvement. The laying

that it is to serve Il good many years.

the work most effectively and thor

The result was that some two years

There is no other single agency
which renders as great service TO the
farmer, the fruitman and gardener in
their fight against insect pests as do
birds. Because OF this fact tillers Of
the soil might we'll take In hand meas
ures not only TO give birds greater
protection from their enemies. but
where possible to give encouragement
along the line OF providing shelter and
nesting places The first can be &C
complished by leaving a little thicket
Of plum thorn or other trees by road
eide. In fence corner or pasture lot.
To encourage the presence of birds
like the woodpeeker. wren, buebird
and martin. that nest In cavities rather
than In trees. much can be done by
providing artificial nesting places in
the shape of bird houses. boxes. tin
cans. old stumps and the like. II
these places are provided the birds will
be attracted to garden and orchard
areas. where their services are most
valuable.

On the average farm there is no other
food for laying hens which as a fur
nisher of protein has the value of
skimmilk. 1t should be fed sweet in
all but the warmest weather when it
is better TO sour It beforehand and the

cleaned frequently. Experiments late

That prepotency is quite as largely
an individual matter as of breeding,
family and pedigree Is nicely shown in
some observations which Professor
Eckles has made at the Missouri Agri-
cultural college. He found that one Of
five Jersey bulls In the college herd
raised the average annual production
of his daughters above their mothers
2,545 pounds Of milk and ITO pounds
of butter fat, while the daughters of
another bull averaged only FIVE pounds
more than their mothers. The results
in these two instances are striking
and the more so because the bull
which made the above exceptional
showing was sired by the second
whose daughters showed so little inn
provement over their dams.
