POULTRY CULTURE
ARTICLE V.

Objects-The aims, objects and
ideals OF poultrymen vary greatly &C
cording to their personal characters
tics and surrounding conditions. 1t
is customary to divide poultry keep
ers into two classes, those who keep
poultry for profit and those who keep
poultry for pleasure. This division,
however, is not scientific and further
more these two classes are ever draw
ing closer together. The faneier and
small producer is constantly trying 20
make his flock profitable while the
business poultryman is coming more
and more to see that he has much in
common with the fancier.
In our discussion of the purpose of
poultry keeping we shall vary from
the common procedure and consider
the subject under the following three
headings: u AS part of farm stock.
90 AS a special business. 49, As fan
cy poultry.
Farm FOwls-On nearly every farm
poultry is to be found. From time i'm.
memorial the farmer as kept a flock
of fowls besides his other live stock.
Frequently the farmers look upon
their poultry as a necessary evil. Too
often the fowls are allowed to shift
for themselves. Any old shed fur.
nishes a roosting place and the fowls
are apt to be mongrels or nondescript
of every variety. The objects in keep
ing the fowls are mainly the eggs fol
cooking purposes and occasionally a
dressed fowl for the table.
Usually on every farm, however
there is someone who is interested in
fowls or at least DESTROYS of the peck
ct money which poultry will secure
Sometimes it is the farmers boy OIL
more rarely the daughter who takes
particular interest in the farm fowls
Outlines in these days the farmer
wife adds to her many duties the care
of the chickens.

CHINCH BUGS HERE

According to DR.. S. A Forbes, state
entomologist, conditions in central and
southern Illinois make it almost GER
tain that the farmers are facing the
most serious outbreak of chinch bugs
ever known to that territory.
The number of bugs that went into
winter quarters last fall was much
larger than that of the previous fall.
The dry, mild winter enabled fully so
per cent to pass through the winter
successfully, and now enormous num-
bers have made their way into the
wheat, rye and oats fields, and it is
almost certain that the number of
young bugs which will develop in
these fields will be enormous. At har-
vest time these bugs will be near
maturity. and the ripening of the
grain will deprive them of the green
succulent food necessary to their ex-
istence and they will migrate to the
nearest fields that may afford them
sustenance.
Any field of corn adjacent to an in
tested wheat, oats, or rye field will
be attacked at harvest time unless a
prompt and vigorous effort is made
TO put in operation the methods which
are effective in keeping them out.
Farmers should examine their wheat
fields and see if they are infested
with the bugs. If the fields are in.
tested the pest can be successfully and
cheaply controlled by the use of bar.
riers of road oil with post hole traps,
around wheat fields at harvest time;
or if they infest corn early, they can
be killed by spraying with certain
kinds o. laundry soap. The best re,
suits can be obtained only by the Co
operation of all the farmers of a com,
munity.
The efficiency Of the road oil bar
rier has been demonstrated by DR.
Forbes and his assistants. The most
satisfactory results, considering both
cost and protection, have been obtain
ed from the line made of No Z road oil
This material when properly applied
caught all the crawliD hugs. and was
easy TO maiEtGiG. II has been fully
demonstrated that by means of the
road oil line, with traps and the soaI
spray, chinch bugs from whatever
source can be rendered harmless.
A speaker with practical field ex
perience III the most recent and sue
cessful methods of fighting the chincf
bug will be furnished free to farmers
meetings to discuss this problem. Fol
