NEW POULTRY FARM STARTED
Second Experimental Station Located
at Beltsville, Md.-Managed
Upon Practical Lines.

So important has the poultry In.
dustry become that Uncle Sam has
started second experimental poultry
farm on his own account He wants
to find out what are the best breeds
and what is the best treatment and
management to make them most
profitable. He will not trust to the
experimental work by the state of
Maine, New York, Ohio or any other.
He will have it done under his own
supervision, SO that no mistakes will
be made.
His new poultry farm is located at
Beltsville, Md, some 13 miles out of
Washington and beyond the Maryland
experiment station at College Park.
1t is being developed by the bureau
of animal husbandry along practical
down-to-date plans, and the equipment,
while of good appearance is simple
and inexpensive in character, SO that
the veriest novice can copy the ideas
without a great expenditure either Of
time or money. Sixty acres have been
set aside for the poultry farm, but as
yet it is only in the development stage,
and much has to be done before a real
ly workable demonstration plant is es-
tablished. Most of the houses are of
the colony portable type.

(By G. E. HOWARD.)


The Colored Rouen duck is deserv-
eddy popular throughout this country.
and Is considered one of the most
profitable varieties to keep. These
ducks are said to have come originally
from the city of Rouen, in Normandy
1t is known that large quantities of
poultry are raised in Normandy, and
while there may be no positive proof
that these ducks came originally
from that city, large numbers Of birds
closely resembling them are to be
found in the market places there.
Some writer's claim that the name
should be "Roan" owing to their
color, but really the color itself does
not support this contention.
The Rouen duck is a fine market
bird, but does not mature as early as
does the Pekin or the .Aylesbury. The
flesh is considered very delicate and
the breed is acknowledged to be ex-
cellent for table purposes, being easily
fattened. The Rouen will be found a
profitable bird to raise on the farm
being hardy, prolific, quiet of dispo-
sition, and Of very beautiful plumage.
Their eggs are not as large as those Of

The Rouen is undoubtedly closely
related to the Mallard duck; it's
plumage alone would make good this
belief. But the shape of the domesti-
Gated Rouen duck has been greatly
modified from that of the wild NAL
lard, the body is grown longer and
heavier, with tendency to drop down
in the rear, the wings have lost the
power of flight which the wild an
cestor possessed. The plumage, how.
ever, remains almost the same.
Both the drake and duck clothed in
plumage attractive and pleasing to the
eye, are as much fanciers fowls as any
of the varieties of chickens, yet they
are of much value as market birds.
The only objection to them, aside from
their slow maturing qualities, is that
OF dark pinfeathers. This should not
stand against them any more than it
does against the many valuable varie-
ties Of chickens that have dark plum

CulIinq Out Old Hens.

1t Is well to keep in mind that from
the standpoint Of egg production pull
let's are more profitable than older
hens. 1t is false economy to retain
hens more than two years old unless
for breeding or exhibition purposes.
Get rid OF the old stock in the late
summer or early fall, retaining only
the very best hens for breeding pur-
poses. Plenty Of room should be pro-
vided for the young pullets to develop
and this can be accomplished best
by getting rid Of the old stock which
shows signs of deterioration.

0fP. M. R. R.-ESCaped Himself With Slight
Injuries

Last Monday morning Charles Jes-
sup of Michigan avenue started from
the business section of the city for
breckenridge. Driving his fve-pas-
senger Buick east on Superior street
he, after passing the Miller Saw
Trimmer company's building, noticed
a man standing on the street
crossing of the p NJ r. R.. Mr..
Jessup blew his horn to attract the
mans attention, also placed his foot
on the clutch to assist in stopping
the car should the man fail to OBJ
serve his coming, while his attention
was riveted on the stranger on the
crossing, Mr.. Jessup failed to notice
the rapid approach from the east of
the morning passenger train due in
Alma at $40. The man moved from
the crossing, and then Mr.. Jessup
noticed the train bearing down upon
him, 1t was too late to reverse his
car which was already climbing the
grade approach to the track and with
the momentum of the machine check
ed he was unable to cross the track
quick enough to avoid being hit
Mr.. Jessup was headed south when
he attempted to cross the track. At
ter the train hit the machine it was
headed north with the rear end redu-
ced to kindling wood and scrapiron.
The train stopped, backed up and the
crew went to Mr.. Jessup's assistance.
He was assisted from behind the
steering wheel, where he still was
sitting and removed to his home,
where his injuries were found to con-
sist in most Of severe shaking up.
Experts for the Mead garage were
soon at the scene but found little of
value left OF the touring car, other
than the engine, transmission and
front wheels. How Mr.. Jessup es-
capped alive is the wonder of automo-
bile drivers who saw the wreck

HOG CHOLERA IN STATE
Immediate Action Is Necessary TO
Prevent Spreading
EPIDEMIC IS THREATENED
Michigan Agricultural College Professors
Advise Farmers to Use the Serum

According to statements of Drs.
Giltner and Holman, of the Michi-
gan Agricultural college, there is a
serious epidemic of hog cholera in
the state. DR.. Giltner is a former
state veterinarian and DR.. Holman is
associated with the psychological
department of the college. AT the
last count made by Dr. Giltner, 21
counties were anected as follows
Genesee, Barry, Eaton, ST. Joseph,
Cass, Branch, Wayne, Calhoun, Liv-
ingston Kent, Newaygo, Kalamazoo,
Ottawa, Chaiievoix, Van Buren,, Len
awee, Hillsdale.
by hundreds and that the entire state
is threatened by the epidemic, is the
belief of DR.. Giltner, and the appar-
ent reason for the spread of the dis
ease is that farmers do not know the
disease when they see it. Local
boards of health are also blamed for
apparent carelessness in letting the
disease alone.
DR.. Giltner states the college is
making a hog cholera serum which
will protect swine from the disease if
they are inoculated with it. "The
college has been in the business of
producing this serum for good
many years, and we send it to far
mer just as soon as he asks for it.
If the farmers will only send for Sc
rum and administer it wisely they
can protect their uninfected hogs"
says DR.. Giltner The serum will not
cure diseased animals, but acts only
as a preventive.

average about $25 an acre. How
ever, ths-go~ernment's appraisal for
its opening to white settlement is
only from $3.50 to 81 per acre, thus
making real prizes for those who
draw this land
The drawings will take place in
this way: The names of all who file
for land will be placed in a big box
and the envelopes drawn out one by
one and numbered until enough en-
velopes are taken from the box to
correspond with the number of quar-
ter sections available-S,40 Those
getting the early numbers will, of
course, get the first pick Of the land,
in rotation, according to the num-
bers drawn. Then actual settlement
of the land will begin May /, 1914.
Settlement is the same as under
the homestead law, except that the
appraised valuation must be paid
from $3.50 to 81 an acre, at these
terms: One fifth of the total down
at the time of entry and the rest in
five annual payments. The settler,
however, has the option of taking
advantage of the new three-year
homestead law by paying for his land
at the end of three years and thus
proving up on it. This gives the
man of small means a chance for his
white alley"
Half a dozen modern town sites

government at points along the main

Chance For HOmeSteadefS
CUT IN ACRE TRACTS
Government to Throw Open l.345. 1000 Acres and
Lucky Ones Will Draw the Best Homes

Nearly 5000 16O-acre farm homes
will be drawn by the lucky ones
as the result of the throwing open OF
1,345,OOO acres of land upon the Fort
Peck Indian reservation in northeast
ern Montana next month. This is
the last great land drawing Uncle
Sam has to offer his people add one
of the greatest in the history of the
government land openings in point
of fertility
Government agricultural experts
estimate that when this vast stretch
of soil is titled it will add about 25,-
100000 bushels of grain annually to
the production of the United States
enough to feed an entire nation.
The interior department is making
extensive preparations to rush big
corps of clerks to Glasgow Havre
and Great Falls, Mont, which are to
be the registration points. These
land offices will be open September
1 and the work of filing for this land
will then begin. The people will
have a chance to continue filing un-
til September 90.
The vastness of the area opened
to white settlement is expected to
make this one of the most alluring
land openings ever presented to the
people, inasmuch as their opportun-
ity of getting something in the draw
ing will be much better than in any
previous land opening. For instance
when the Coeur d'Alene, Flathead
and Spokane land drawings were held
last year, 10000 persons filed and
drew for the lands in those three In
dian reservations, the total area of
which was about one fourth of the
area to be opened upon the Fort Peck
reservation.
Government officials do not be-
lieve that more than $4,000 people
will file for the Fort Peck land.
Hence the chances of drawing a quar-
ter section in the Fort Peck reserva-
tion lottery" are about four times
as good as they have been in previ-
Gus government land drawings. The
actual value of this land is said by
government agricultural experts to

character and the good will of society
in obtaining it.
We are all seeking to be happy
and are slowly learning the lesson
that happiness comes through SER
vice and not in possessing wealth.
We are glad to note that many of
you people are honest, conscientious,
God-fearing people. In an early day
the people of the Prairie state re-
fused to allow the Mormons - that
organization which today we regard
as a menace to our government as
well as to Christianity-to live in
their state but drove them out Of it
entirely.
We want you people to know that
our churches welcome you to their
membership and to a place of SER
vice where you may work and labor
and give your financial assistance to
the great work Of the Masters king
dom. If you have found our COM
munity a good place to develop
Christian characters, good place to
raise boys and girls, as we'll as corn,
oats, hay, beans and hogs, it is be-
cause in the past faithful men and
women have lived unselfshly and
proclaimed the gospel of the lowly
Nazarene. And now you and | are
responsible, and if we succeed in do
ing our duty in our generation we
must be at it now and not try to
shift our responsibility on to others
because we are acquainted so little
or because our ability is limited.
If the moral and religious condi-
tions are not ideal in your neighbor-
hood-and | have heard some of you
people express yourselves as being
surprised at the lack of Sabbath OBJ
servance, etc. then your presence
and influence will be an uplift, and
the service you render will be a
blessing to all.
Then, tool, we offer to you for the
benefit of your boys and girls the ad-
vantages of very good economical
sySteRa, of public school education
1ture, domestic science and
manual training are being taught in
our high schools to which all pupils
above the eighth grade may go with
out any cost to the individual for
tuition.
And let me urge upon you the nec-
essity of giving some of your thought
and time to the problems Of your
local rural schools. Many times for
the lack of interest on the part of the
parents and school officers the school
rooms are not comfortable, sanitary,
attractive or inspiring, and these con-
ditions mean much to the boys and |
girls in the development of their |
characters.
