Animals and Birds Farmers Friends.

Recent Investigations seem to have
proved that the owl. skunk and bad
ger are, on the whole, friends rather
than enemies of the farmer and gard
encr. And now comes a writer put
ting up a pretty strong plea tor the
crow, based on recent Investigations
by the biological survey at Washing
ton. The contents of the stomach OF
1000 crows killed during every month
in the year were carefully examined.
While it was demonstrated that the
crow dug up corn. killed young chick
ems and raided hens nests, 1t was
found that the part of the corn de-
stroyed while growing formed only :
per cent of the total and that the dam
age, to chickens and eggs was small
compared to service rendered in de-
stroying mice and many harmful in
Sects.

GOOD CARE IN HOT WEATHER
Constant Care Must be Given Hens
and Young Chickens.

During the spring and summer
months constant care must be taken
to see that the hens and young chick
ems have qlenty of water and shade,
says writer in the Iowa Homestead
The hens cannot manufacture eggs
without liberal supply of water, as
a large per cent of eggs is composed
of water. The growing flock, too, will
not develop properly if half famished
from thirst. This may mean no win
ter eggs from the pullets.
If one would take the best care OF
the flock he should give it fresh water
in the morning and just after noon.
The water that stands in fountain
very long becomes stale and un
healthy Water should always be pure
and the vessels clean. 1t is wise II
keep the water vessels in the shade Of
the house or trees all the day.
This leads to the important questio /
of shade. | have made it special
point to notice my hens in the sum-
mer, and | have discovered that along
toward the middle of the day they
will seek shelter from the suns hot
rays. They will either retire to the
shade of a tree or the shelter of the
poultry house They prefer to get
away from the house if they can find
suitable shade elsewhere If no trees
are growing in the yard and there are
no bushes or shrubbery of any kin1
where the flock may find shade il
will be well to construct an artificial
shade by setting posts into the grounl
one at each corner of paralleogram
plot. Nail crosspieces to these and
place boards on them. Here the hens
may find retreat from the hot SUM-

Importance of Good Roads.

The salvation and uplift of rural
America depend more upon the build
ing of good roads than upon any one
other thing. The farmer and the PEG
pie of the small towns and villages do
not understand this now, wherefore
they need to be educated to the fact
that money spent for good roads Is
not money thrown away. whereas
money spent for makeshift improve
ments is worse than thrown away.
They must be taught that good roads
are not luxury. but necessity, and
that the cost Of their building is not
extravaganza begotten OF the auto
mobile. but simply wise investment,
on the part of every community
everywhere, without regard to what
sort of vehicle is favored by those
who travel over the roads.-Motor

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

After weaving the pigs your real re
sponsibility commences.
Growth and muscular development
are what we want in our breeding
swine.
One advantage in feeding steers on
the farm is the maintenance of the
soil fertility.
1t is safe rule to provide five
pounds of water for every pound CT
milk that the COW gives.
See to it that the teeth are in good
trim. Oats are too high in price to
feed them without return.
The development of the young
horse requires the exercise of the best
Judgment in handling him.
Loose or decayed teeth may be re-
moved from the mouth of sheep by
means of pair of small pincers.
Experiments carried on at the va
rious stations show that there are
many feeds suitable for fattening
sheep.
1t does not follow that because
sheep are profitable on poor land, they
will not be equally profitable on good
land.
Sheep can be raised in the United
States as cheaply as in any other
country in the world, not excepting
Australia.
Don't expect the team to do hard
days work in the field and then trot
a half dozen miles to town and back
again after supper
A mixture of barley. cornmeal.
wheat bran and roots will put flesh
on horses fast. With this, of course,
a small quantity of hay should be
given.

ALFALFA NEEDS MUCH WATER
Experiments Show 1t is Important to
Have Plenty Moisture.

North Platte government expert
ments show that it is most important
to accumulate water in the soil before
starting alfalfa, as the plant will use
practically all that falls thereafter.
In the Great Plains region, alfalfl
has shown its ability to take more
moisture from the soil than any other
plant, bronze grass coming second and
buffalo grass third; oats, wheat, corn
and barley coming respectively Mex,
though wheat on one occasion led the
corn.
The problem with alfalfa under
good conditions is not so much to get
the stand as to retain it, for If it
does not find water lower down it will
often live two or three years on stored
soil moisture until it has exhausted it
and then die out 1t is work, however,
considering the great Improvement it
has worked in soil conditions, even
under these circumstances. for it has
filled the subsoil with vegetable pipe
lines which. as they decay, will carry
moisture down beyond the attraction
of wind and sun and furnish plant
food where there was little before,
in an available state
The storage reservoir OF the sol! AT
North Platte is from four to six fee,
for spring grains, and two feet deeper
for winter cereals. For alfalfa the
depth has not been definitely ascer-
tanned, but it certainly takes water to
a depth of fifteen feet.
The soil is capable of holding IS
per cent of moisture. and alfalfa can
draw it down to 65 per cent On,
per cent to depth of Is feet amounts
to rs inches of water, so the alfalfa
receives 8.5 per cent, or II inches OF
water.
These figures show at once the ad
vantage alfalfa has over other crops
and at the same time its limitations,
III that ii can go ahead of the average
rainfall for a term of years and de
stroy itself unless il reaches sub-so;l
sheet of water or subsoil containing
an excess of free water for its require
ments, which is. fortunately. often the
case. When the alfalfa does its own
pumping free of charge it will have an
intermediate dry ground and yet pro
duce good crops and ceases to draw
so heavily on the free soil water
above. reducing the moisture conten;
to only IS per cent instead of 6.5 per
cent.
On account of its rapid growth, al
falfa takes a great deal of moisture to
transpire and from its dry content,
whose bulk will be governed by the
amount of water in the soil.
By good cultural methods water can
be stored in the loan soil to depth
OF ten to fifteen feet, and where Dor
ings show plenty of moisture at such
depth there is great hops of success,
but if dry. impervious bed is met
by the root beyond their power to
penetrate, they spray out and lose
their penetrative power to go deeper.
This points to the fact that sue
cessive alfalfa seeding would give
much greater hope of success than the
first one under unfavorable circum-
stances. which is indeed true of all
plants where roots have already pene-
trated the subsoil, progression OF
deeper and deeper range becomes
possible.

Care of Dressed Poultry.

Immediately after dressing poultry.
il should be thrown into ice-cold wa
ter, and allowed to remain until all the
animal heat has left the body. Ne
elect to do this is apt to cause the car
cass to turn green in parts, by the
time destination is reached.

VOLCANO REGION
TO Be MAPPED

Actual work on the proposed ma
tional park at Kilauea will start within
a week from the present time. That
is, the work of mapping out and sketch
ing the details of the huge reserve
will be begun by the topographic sur
veyors. Both Kilauea and Maun Loa
will be surveyed, and the topograph-
ers Will be employed on what will be
more like scientific work for some
months to come.
Chief Photographer Birdseye leaves
for Hawaii tomorrow in the steamer
Mauna Kea. He will proceed to Ha-
kalau where he has three parties at
work at present. These men will be
instructed to pack up their goods and
strike camp. The move to Kilauea
will be made at once, and the perma.
nent camps established there.
There will be only two instrument
parties working on the Kilauea sec
ton, and the rest of the staff will be
otherwise employed Every detail of
the huge crater will be mapped out,
and the crevices and pit craters will
all be- shown in detail
The surrounding country will be also
surveyed and lotted and the first real
ly authentic map of the whole region
will be made. The intention is also
to map out the mountain, Mauna Loa,
and the surrounding country
Chief .Birdseye has Just returned
from Washington, where he spent the
last few months.
