Plant That Catches its Food.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant, not only defends itself
against insects and animals. but
catches worms and fish for its food.
AS it floats underneath the surface OF
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions. Its leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filled
with air, and at one end of each blad-
der is a cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on it, A small worm
or a small fish tan enter this door.

PECULIAR POINTS
OF A TANNING MILL
There Are Many Profitable Ad-
vantages Gained by Opera
ton of Machine.
CRv NJ. CnYERDELLN

The mere separating of weed-seeds
and other foreign objects from small
grain should not be regarded as the
single benefit derived from the use of
the fanning-mill. This is essential, but
there are other profitable advantages
gained by the operation.
Cleansed grain will present a much
better appearance on the market, and
also command a higher price, since
it actually delivers more pounds of
good, pure grain than does a like guam
tity of nncleansed, just as it came from
the threshing machine.
Uncleaned grain contains more dust
and other non-nourishing material than
most farmers suppose, and the fan
ning-mill removes these, making the
grain actually healthier for stock feed
ing purposes, and consequently better
adapted to nourishing and developing
the tissues of the body.
Grain that has not been cleaned by
the fanning-mill, but fed to the stock
just as 1t came from the threshing ma
chine will pass through the animals
with a part of it remaining unchanged,
and where there are weed seed i'm
purities, these are transported back
to the fields in the manure as it is haul
ed and spread for fertilizing purposes.
Many of these seeds do not have their
terminating qualities impaired by
passing through the animals, and by
being scattered with the manure, they
find rich seed bed in which to sprout
and develop bounteous crop of weeds
the following season. The use of the
fanning-mill would avoid this seeding
down of the farm to weed pests.
Ranking still above the Importance
of cleaning grain to guard against
seeding the farm to weed pests, comes
that of Improvement in both the guam
tity and quality of the crops produced.
The sowing of carefully selected see
grain from supply that has been
passed through the fanning-mill will.
If persisted in from one year to anoth-
er, work wonders in the small grain
crop. 1t will mean a plumper, heavier
and solder grain for seed-one that
will possess strong terminating quail
tiles and propagate sturdy, vigorous
plant, Under such a system, 1t will re-
quire much less seed to SOW than II
light, weak seed were sown. Neither
will the shriveled, split and broken
grains be sown and waste the ground
by not propagating a good stand OF
plant. 1t also takes less quantity of
seed grain to seed field; while the
stand of plants is sure to be OF uni
form size, vigor and productiveness.
NOTE.-The screenings secured
from cleaning grain should be careful
ly saved and stored away for the poul-
try, since 1t contains such variety of
seeds and grain that 1t makes fine
ration for them, being either scattered
in the scratching shed for the layers
to scratch around for, or worked into
their mash three times a week Where
there is a considerable quantity of
screened seeds and small or shriveled
grains, these will make a good feed
for the live stock, as most weed seeds
are not at all injurious to the animals.
OF course, If the weed seeds are In
excess to the refuse grain, It is not
advisable to feed them, as this would
again establish the danger of seeding
the fields to weed pests.

CARING FOR MOULTlNG HENS
To Hurry Fowls Along They Must Be
Fed LlberalIy-Feed Them Mash
and Plenty Of Grain.

Some people make a dreadful fuss
about the poor moulting hen, while
this moulting process is just as natu-
raj as it is for a hen to live and
breathe and no more critical than the
LAYING stunt, provided the hens are
fed enough to keep up the waste OF
the body and at the same time manu-
facture the new feathers, says the
Field and Farm. The sooner the feath-
ers are grown the sooner the eggs
will come and to hurry them along as
fast as possible the fowls should be
fed literally. Give them all the
mash they will eat and good feed
ing OF grain at night.
To many folks 1t looks like throw
ing away money to practice heavy
feeding while no eggs are coming in,
but this is one of the secrets of get
ting winter eggs. The moulting sea-
son is the most critical period in the
life of hen. Growth of new feathers
is a heavy strain on vitality. AS the
hen is fed on the average ranch it
requires from two to four months to
recover from the effects Of it.
By giving the necessary materials
with which to make the feathers so
that hen will not have to take them
from the tissues of her body, she will
be ready for work as soon as she has
her new plumage and often before.
Pullets should be handled in the same
way They are not yet fully devel-
oped and viii not begin to lay until
the amount of food they consume is
enough to support growth with a sur
plus to go into something else.
