MiIkWeed as a Food.

One of the economic triumphs OF the
age is the utilization of waste material,
and the use of weeds as food staples
is Il phase of this triumph.
The most interesting Of these new
weed foods" is milkweed. the com
mon. wild variety that grows in every
rocky pasture. in meadows and by
road sides in abundance. Its large,
thick, smooth leaves are familiar to all,
and its deep, dull pink tuft of flowers
and, later, its seed pods. filed with
delicate floss and fat brown seeds.
When it is broken off a thick. white
milky juice exudes. This is rich in
nutrition. This common and luxuri;, m
weed is now being cultivated in gar
dens as valuable food staple AMI

like asparagus and is cooked in much
the same way as spinach. 1t has been
found to be rich in natural salts and
nutrition and is easily cultivated

The Cheese Wisconsin Makes.

That Wisconsin last year sent New

interesting fact brought out by some
statistics just prepared by the agricul-
tural economics department Of the Uni

now the leading cheese producing state
in the Union, having wrested the hon
or of first place from New York. Fiji
teen million pounds of cheese were
sent to Illinois alone last year. and OF
this great amount 10,5O0,OOO went To
the city of Chicago. Missouri was sent
100000 pounds. Texas 100000 and
Georgia 100000. Iowa, Tennessee. In

the modesty characteristic of many
professional men he magnified his

a device which taken in its fullest sig

TRAINED TURTLES.
Tricks These Clumsy Creatures MAJ
Be Taught to Perform.


Be Taught to Perform.
OF all living creatures, says a writer
In the Strand Magazine. the turtle is
undoubtedly the slowest in its move
ment and probably possesses the least
brain. Yet a well known American
naturalist has succeeded in training
three of these creatures to do num-
Der OF little tricks. He places them,
one above the other, on spools, and -
q piece Of cabbage or other green stuff
Is held out In front of them they will
make complete circuit, all moving in
unison. keeping their balance and not
tumbling Off
The bigger turtle will also ring a
bell. This it grasps in one Of its fore
feet. jerks it off the ground and then
gives it shake. 1t is quite amusing
to watch the slow, deliberate manner
In which this is done The turtles
have always lived in their owners
house, spending their time in the kitch-
en- hunting down the vermin-
One Of the turtles draws a little cart
about the garden, task which he ap-
parently does not resent in the least
OF course he Is never kept harnessed
for any length OF time. He is quite
tame, follows the children about the
garden and will even eat from their
fingers

Start Early With the Colt.

Just about the time the colt begins
to see how close he can come to his
mothers ears with his heels while SHE
Is feeding is the time to slip a strong
little halter on him. And this should
be repeated every day. Short lesson
and frequent should be the rule. Lead
the mare along and the colt will natu-
rally follow by her side. he learns first
obedience to the halter. which serves
TO keep him in line. Gradually extend
the lessons. and training the colt to
lead to halter will in the end be found
to be practically no effort for either
man or colt. Wait till the colt is II
year or more old and the result will be
dangerous struggling, with fair chances
of poorly broken horse.

Early Laying PuIlets.

A Single Comb White Leghorn
pullet that laid her first egg just
A months and IA days from the
date of her Matching, is enc of
the results of Breeding for early
maturity obtained by the College
of Agriculture, Ohio State Uni
versity. The usual age at which
pullets begin laying is about 6
months. This extraordinary fowl
was one of group of 720 that
were Matched at the same time.
Five or six others from this
group began laying much earlier
than ordinary fowls, showing
that it pays to breed for early
maturity. They were from the
Yesterlaid strain of Single Comb
White Leghorn, that have been
bred especially to develop early
laying. 1t may be interesting to
know just how this flock was fed.
From the first day to the sixth
week they received twice a day a
grain ration of 2 lbs. fine cracked
corn and 3 lbs cracked wheat.
Up until the twenty-frst day
they also received three times a
day a moist mash composed of 4
pounds rolled oats; 3 lbs. corn
meal; 3 lbs. wheat middlings; 6
los wheat bran; A lbs, sifted meat
scraps; 2 lbs. alfalfa meal; ! Id.
bone meal; / Id. fine charcoal.
This was mixed with skinned milk
or buttermilk and fed in shallow
trays. From the sixth week to
maturity they received a grain
ration of 2 lbs. whole wheat, fed
in open hoppers. From the twen-
ty-frst day to maturity they re
ceived a mash composed of ! Id.
rolled oats; l Id. corn meal; ! Id.
wheat middlings; 2 lbs. wheat
bran; / Id. sifted meat scraps; J
lb. alfalfa meal; 2 or. fine char
coal. This was fed dry in hop
! pers. In addition they were
given green foods and grits.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Use of Scales In FEEDING.

The best and practically the Only
way Ole can tell whether his animals
are making proper gains or not is by
the use OF scales. writes W. A. Popke
in Farm and Fireside.
A friend of mine who gave me the
data used here tried this on a colt last
year The colt weighed $50 pounds
when foaled and was weighed every
week for the first six months. with
the following results: Three and three
fourth pounds average daily gain first
month. three and oDe-fourth pounds
average daily gain second month, three
pounds average daily gain third ana
fourth months, two and one-half pounds
average daily gain the fifth and sixth
months.
At ten months the colt weighed $40
pounds and had made a daily gain of
about two and one-fourth pounds,
which is very good for a grade Perch
eron.
The colt was allowed all the whole
oats and bran ii would clean up until
five months old. Her mother was work
ed nearly every day. and the colt suck
ed four times day from s o'clock in
the morning to o'clock in the after
noon. At night both mare and colt
were turned out to pasture.
The winter ration consisted of a mix
ture of FIVE pounds of whole oats. two
pounds Of shened corn and five quarts
of skimmilk daily. A small amount of
silage and mixed hay for roughage
were also fed.

ernor of the Commonwealth. do

ing Wednesday. Nov, Ii. 1912.
as Arbor Gay for the Common
wealth of Kentucky, and request
its observance by the planting of
trees, or such other appropriate
exercises as may be deemed
proper.
The attention of all the people
and especially teachers and pu-
pills of the colleges and school is
called to the Importance of plant
ing trees.
A priceless heritage has been
wasted in Kentucky and we
should strive to do our duty by
making every proper effort for a
renewal Of our forest. Other
states are giving much attention
to Arbor Day. In one State over
one million trees were planted on
Arbnr Day, and the benefit de-
rived from other States was
great.
More attention should be given
to the common observance of Ar
Dor Day in Kentucky than has
been given heretofore. Trees
planted on the next Arbor Day
will add to the beauty of the
neighborhood, and to the wealth
and welfare of the future. and
supply the increasing need in
many parts of the State. School
house yards, home yards and
public roads should be beautified
with trees. Our national forests
are diminishing and we must not
only save what is left of the for
ests, but we. must reforest the
cut over, the burnt over and the
interested districts of the State.
November Is is the date upon
which the counties of Kentucky
will set out the Arboratum in the
capitol here.
