GOOD FOOD FOR POULTRY
There Should be a Variety and While
Some Grains Are Favored Others
Are Not-Grit Needed.

Poultry food should be palatable.
Some grains are the favorite food of
chickens, while others are not. Rye
nay be fed. but It is not generally
liked by poultry, and should never be
made the principal feed. It may be
used in mixture with other grains,
nd will be eaten by the flock. Rel
sh is one of the factors of proper
'eeding.
Food should be varied. The best
commercial poultry-foods on the mar
,et are combinations of the common
arm grains. There are varying
mounts OF each, according to nutri-
i've value and cheapness-wheat
oats, corn, barley, rye, millet-seed,
'aneseed, field peas, buckwheat, sun
iowerseeds, and grass-seeds. With
these are combined grit, shells and
charcoal. These foods produce good
results, mainly because OF the variety.
With little instruction, one could
make such combination, for the
dock, of grains on the farm.

The tobacco Leaf Miner is an in

is manifested by large irregular
blotches appearing on the leaves
These are at first whitish, but later
become very dry and parchment-like
Leaves injured in this way are unfit

There are two generations of the
Leaf Miner each year, the winter be-
