PLANTS ARE MOSTLY WATER
Their Demand on Soil for Moisture is
Very Great.

Growing plants consist to a very
high degree, in their composition, OF
water. and their demand upon the soil
for water is very great indeed. One
little imagines the tremendous pump
inc power OF large oak through its
uncouutable leaves which spread to
the wind constantly a tremendous
evaporating surface. 1t is little to be
wondered. says the Michigan Farmer,
that III the vicinity OF such tree IT is
almost impossible to secure the
growth OF a crop of any description
because the tree has drawn from the
surface the available water supply
which is necessary for the growth OF
the other plants.
Lack of an available supply OF wa
ed by the crop is the weak point i'll
ter at the time when il is most need
most soils. Here is where science
comes into play and teaches the farm
er to conserve the moisture OF his soil
that an available supply will be at
hand when the crop most needs it
Governor Hoard made an excellent
illustration some years ago OF this
point. and it is because they are so
fundamental that we call so much at
tention to these various seemingly
elementary principles of plant growth
He asks why il is that when a crop
OF clover is seeded underneath crop
OF peas and oats. and these peas and
oats are not harvested until the time
of ripening it is exceedingly difficult,
especially in the dry seasons, to Sc
cure a favorable growth of clover.

The Illinois station gives among the
causes of failure in the poultry bust
ness the following:
Endeavoring to keep too many
fowls where room for one only can be
obtained. that is saving in expenses by
cheapening cost of houses and space
Buying fowls from other farms and
thus bringing disease and lice into the
flocks.
Overlooking. the fowls being sup
Piled with greater abundance under
the supposition, the more feed the
more eggs.
Cold draughts over the fowls al

Wasting time with sick fowls in

not be cured quickly,

Poultry Notes.

Pekins lay from 10 to 10 eggs a
season.
Forcing for eggs out of season is
Improbable.
Keep the hen nests clean and pro
vide one for every four hens.
Ii fowls are compelled to roost i'll
foul and damp houses it causes illness.
The earlier the maturity. all other
things being equal, the greater the
profits.
Sell off your old rooster and get a
better one than you ever had of some
neighbor.
The chick that is alive ten days
after Matching has most OF its dangers
behind it.
If fowl becomes sick, separate it
from the others and doctor it, as the
disease may be contagious.
Laying hens drink very large
amount of water il it is clean and kept
constantly before them.
The old rule of improving the hui
man race by beginning with the grand
parents applies also to poultry raising.
For Matching purposes take the eggs
from the hens that lay best Build up.
never let the standard down.
A shelf couple OF feet below the
roosts is handy TO catch the droppings
and handy to clean. And don't forget
70 clean it.
Breeding stock should be carefully
selected by the poutryman and then
given the best care, plenty of fresh air,
sunshine and exercise.

The question OF litter for the little
chicks is easily solved. Short cut al
falfa or clover makes the best OF lit
ter. One OF the greatest mistakes in
PROVIDING litter for fowls is that the
poultryman fails to provide litter that
is easily digestible. should the fowls
chance to swallow parts of it. Straw
and chaff make good litter for
chicks and fowls, but they are not
easily digested. and therefore, should
not be used. especially in the case OF
the little chicks.

EGGS 3 YEARS OLD.
Are Frozen and May Be Offered for
Sale by Health Board.

Trenton, N. J., July 10.-The state
board of health is considering the
proposition of releasing for sale of
400 cans of frozen eggs seized by the
federal government here three years
ago. At a hearing of the case yester-
day, Prof. w. G. Sedgwick of Stevens
Institute of Technology appeared as
an expert, and furnished surprising
testimony by declaring that the three
year old eggs were still perfectly
wholesome. AS evidence he told of
feeding them to members of his family
who suffered no Ill effects. He point
ed to the custom of Chinese who pre-
serve eggs for indefinite periods and
recalled that when Ii Hung Chang
visited America he brought with him
eggs a hundred years OLD because
there were no eggs in this country old
enough to suit him.
The eggs now in question were ship
ped east by Kansas firm in 1910 and
were seized by the government as un-
fit for food. The district court held
that the government had failed to
prove that the eggs were bad. The
circuit court of appeals reversed the
judgment and this in turn was set
aside by the supreme court of the
United States on the ground that it
was without jurisdiction. All that
now stands between the. eggs and the
public is the want of an order of the
state board Of health releasing them
from storage.

BUGS IN FRANKLIN
Wings Have Grown and Expert
Sees No Chance to Fight.
Professor Has No Fear of Sec
Ond Crop.

Ottawa, July 1O.-The period of
effective chinch bug control is about
over, and by the same token, the pc
riod in which their worst ravageS are
to be expected is likewise past. With
in the last two or three days, accord
ing to Prof. w. B. Wilson, who has
been making a careful study of the
habits of the bugs, the insects have
entered the last stage of their growth,
have grown wings and are beginning
to fly around the fields.
'Of course it is hopeless to attempt
any further work of control now that
the bugs have entered this stage,
said Mr.. Wilson. Fortunately, the
bugs will not now do very much dam
age. The crop of bugs will soon die,
leaving their eggs in the corn"
Professor Wilson thinks that there
need not be much fear from the sec
ond crop of bugs. The insects do not
thrive so we'll in the hot weather of
July and August, as in the earlier
parts of the summer, and besides the
corn is harder and better able to
withstand their attacks, he says, and
if there are plenty of good rains the
bugs will do but little damage.
Professor Wilson will start tomor-
row on a series of conferences and
talks to farmers in adjoining coun-
ties on the best action to take toward
the pest this fall and winter. Mr..
Wilson does not have much faith in
united action for the elimination of
small grain from the fields this win
ter.
1T Is my observation" said he,
that the bugs can hibernate success
fully in grass, especially in timothy,
and it does not take many bugs on a
farm to start the plague if conditions
are ripe 1 want to emphasize the
fact that this chinch bug problem
is one of the most difficult problems
there is. 1t can be solved, but only
after long and continued effort, and
the use of barriers"

ROCKS AUTOIsTs ORGANIZE.
See Need of Good Roads-Plan Much
Work.

Stockton, Kan, July 10.-The Rocks
County Autom obile association has en-
rolled 131 of the 265 automobile own
ers of the county. The association
realizes the need of good roads and is
busily boosting the Beloit-Colby cut
off, which is to connect the Goodrich
transcontinental route at Beloit with
the Golden Belt trail at Colby. The
club met Monday night in Stockton to
arrange for sending delegates to the
final ratification meeting of the Beloit-
Colby Cutoff Good Roads association,
which is to be held in Hill City Thurs
day.
Several cars of Stockton good roads
enthusiasts will attend the meeting.
The new trail will be the most direct
connection between Kansas City and
Denver and will save the tourist nearly
one hundred miles. 1t will be marked
by eighteen inch white bands on the
telephone poles along the route. The
roads between Beloit and Colby are be-
ing worked and the trail will soon be
in condition to compete with the Gold
en- Belt for through tourist traffic.
