FREE RANGE FOR THE CHICKS

Where hens or chicks have been
confined In small yards during the
spring and summer they should be
turned out on free range now If pos.

attention. In most cases It Ii abso.

The chickens In 1t are not receiving
a fair chance.
Gardens are In such shape that the
chickens will do them little damage
now, and to turn the hens loose will
reduce the cost of the feed bill, %
well as make them happy. In case
several varieties are kept a good plan
Is to turn each flock ont at least one
or two days a week, or better still a
few hours each day. This method win
give them all a range without mixing
the f1ocks.
The yards themselves should be
plowed or spaded up: and this fall
sown to some crop, such as oats, rye
or wheat. The crop will purify the
soil, as well as furnish green food
for the flock. It Is only by careful
attention to these details that hens
can successfully be kept In small
yards.

SUPERIOR BAIT FOR CUTRORR

Prove Effective.
(y r. Z. WAsHBURNH

Cutworms are the larval forms Of
moths belonging to the family known
as 0wlet Moths. The first name was
given this family because they are
particularly night-nyers, most Of them
remaining concealed during the day;
and the second name, on account Of
the fact that their eyes shine at night.
In the presence Of q light, to which
by the way, many Of the species are
attracted.
Both the moths and their larvae ara
fond Of sweets; and this fact Is made
use Of both by collectors In catching
the moths and by the farmer and
gardener In killing the "cut-worm"
itself. The larvae, when full grown.
averages In length about one and one
half inches. and is as q rule. dull col
ored. with or without obscure mark.

into the soil q short distance. and
turns into a brownish or reddish.
brown or mahogany-colored pupa.
These pupae may winter over, when
formed late In summer. or give rise to
moths in August and September.
which lay their eggs at that time on
various plants, or on the ground lear
their food-plants. The larvae. which
hatch in late summer or fall, winter
over in some concealed situation, and
are ready for business in the spring.
While many birds prey upon cut
worms-and although they are eaten
by some other insects, and are the
victims Of parasitic forms. to say
nothing Of diseases bacterial or fun.

obliged to take active means against

favor. Its record as to insects in most
localities Is not so clear. In excep-
tional s It has been found very
useful as a destroyer Of insect pests.
For example. during a ercent investi-
cation Of birds that destroy the alfalfa
weevil in northern Utah, English spar
rows were feeding their nestlings
largely on weevii larvae and cut
worms, both of which are very injur-
ious to alfalfa. In this case the spar
rows, attracted by grain in the fields
and poultry runs and by the excellent
nest sites afforded by the matched
roofs Of many farm buildings, had left
the city and taken up their abode in
the country where the weevil out
break subsequently occurred. Unfor.
tunately, however. farmers can rarely
expect such aid against their insect
foes. Wherever this bird proves use
ful, however, It IL entitled to protec-
ton and encouragement in proper
ton to its net value.
On the other hand much Is to be
said against the bird. It destroys
fruit. as cherries. grapes, pears, and
peaches. It also destroys buds and
flowers Of cultivated trees, shrubs, and
