A level headed poultryman whose
premises the writer passed the other
day solved the question of green food
for his flock the past season by sowing
the greater portion Of the yard to rape.
This was allowed to get good start
before the poultry was turned in. and
as a result the flock has had an abun-
dance of the finest kind of green food
since, and it will be good well into
winter. The plan is a simple one and
well worth a trial

In paragraph in this department

fellows on the wet and low land hay
ing harvested bumper crops on such
lands as a result of the dry seasons
attention was called to the fact that
thing the land would produce the
same condition of soil and give the
same results. Through a typograph-
ical error the word ''tilling" was, used.
which changed the meaning and sense
of the paragraph completely.

Professor Dyche, fish and game ward
en- of Missouri, recommends shooting
roman candles into the trees where
blackbirdS are wont to roost as an
effective means Of driving them away.
The job is most effectively done just
as they are gathering to roost and
before it gets dark. He states that
this roman candle stunt, repeated
about three nights in succession, will
drive the birds away for good.

The rabbits that have made their
homes on the islands along the Missis-
sippi river during the past two years
have been having a rough time of it
since the rainy weather set in in the
upper watershed of the big valley.
Owing to the low stage of water the
rabbits occupied these islands and
multiplied there prodigiOusly unmo-
Tested. The high water drove them to
the highest points of the many islands,
where they have been killed or drown
ed by thousands.

One of the best words uttered at the
national conservation congress recent
ly held at Kansas City was spoken by
the president of the association. Mr..
Henry Wallace, when he said that
from the time the rich lands Of the
country were received from the gov
eminent as homesteads by present
owners or their ancestors by blood or
title, they have been robbed through
a mining and selling Of their stores Of
fertility in the shape of raw, unfinish-
ed crops. He insisted that if our mar
velously fertile soil is not to become
entirely depleted, rational methods Of
handling the soil that will conserve its
fertility must be adopted similar to
those which enable the English farm
er to raise more bushels of wheat per
acre today than did his ancestors on
the came land hundreds ct years ago.

In all sections where the cottontail

should be renewed with vigor every
fall. This is job in which that active
boy should have hand, and he may
use both traps and ferret to good
advantage. The steel and several types
Of box traps give good results. as does
also the wire moose trap suspended
from strong brush just above its
runway. The wire should be pliable
and the loose end made into slip
moose into which the rabbit unwilling
ly sticks its head. The ferret should
always be used with stout cord or
chain, so that it can be pulled from a
burrow in which it has cOrnered and
killed rabbit. Very often If the cord
is not attached the ferret will remain
in the hole for day or two, feasting
on its prey.
