months and fourteen days from the
date Of her Matching. Is one of the re-
suits Of breeding for early maturity
obtained by the Ohio Agricultural
college The usual age at which pull
let's begin laying is about six months.
This extraordinary fowl was one of a
group of 100 that were Matched at the
same time. Five or six others from
this group began laying much earlier
than ordinary fowls, showing that 1t
pays to breed for early maturity.
They were from the Yesterlaid strain
OF single-comb White Leghorns, that
had been bred especially to develop
early laying.
II may be interesting to know just
how this flock was fed. From the
first day to the sixth week they re-
ceived twice a day a grain ration of
two pounds fine cracked corn and
three pounds cracked wheat Up un-
til the twenty-first day they also re-
ceived three times day a moist
mash composed Of four pounds rolled
oats. three pounds cornmeal. three
pounds wheat middlings, six pounds
wheat bran, four pounds sifted meat
scraps, two pounds alfalfa meal, one
quarter pound bone meal. one-quarter
pound fine charcoal. This was mixed
with skim milk or buttermilk and fed
In shallow trays. From the sixth
week to maturity they received a
grain ration OF two pounds cracked
corn and two pounds whole wheat, fed
in open hoppers. From the twenty
first day to maturity they received a
mash composed OF one pound rolled
oats. one pound corn meal; one
pound wheat middlings. two pounds
wheat bran. one pound sifted meat
scraps, one-half pound alfalfa meal.
two ounces fine charcoal. This was
fed dry in open hoppers. In addition
they were given green foods and
grits.

OF course, all this takes considerable
time, but to the fancy breeder it pays
to pedigree his birds, and he will have
less per cent of culls.
II you do your Matching in incuoa-
tors, you can get some pedigree trays
to place in the incubator, instead OF
the regular trays. These are con-
structed with compartments so that
the eggs can be kept separate, and
also the chicks hatched therefrom.
Before placing the chicks In the

USING TONS OF TREE SEEDS
Much Has Already Been Planted or
sown and Balance VIII BeB utlI-
ixed Later In Season.

The United States department OF
agriculture Is using this year on the
national forests over ten tons OF tree
seed. Most OF this seed has already
been planted or sown. The rest will
be utilized later In the season. as fav-
orable conditions are presented.
II takes a great many tree seeds to
make ten tons. Jack pine, the most
important tree for planting In the
Nebraska sand hills by the forest
service. will average something like
$4,000 to the pound.
OF Washington yellow pine. the tree
most extensively planted throughout
the national forests as a whole, 10000
seed will make a pound.
Altogether the ten tons OF seed to be
used this year represent perhaps 800
million cingle seed
II every single seed could be de-
pended upon to produce q young tree
suitable for planting. the result would
be supply Of nursery stock sufficient
to plant 10000 acres of land, but no
such result can be looked for because
many seeds do not terminate.
Most Of the seeds will be sown,
either broadcast or In seed spots or
planted with a corn planter, directly
In the place where the trees are to
stand
Even when nursery stock is raised
a liberal allowance must be made for
loss. In the first place a considerable
percentage of the seeds will be found
to be infertile.
OF those which terminate, many
will die before they leave the nursery
beds and many more will be lost In
transplanting.
II from a pound OF western yellow
pine seed that contains 10000 indi-
vidual seeds. 1000 three-year-old
transplants are available for field
planting. the department of agricul-
ture has obtained satisfactory results.

Now that the corn is about to be
laid by Gin fact much early corn is
already laid by) there are so many
things farmers can turn their atten-

farm operations is likely to prevail

a good rotation of crops with labor
distribution in mind has no difficulty
in this matter. If there are several

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Mrs. Mary Getke, Pioneer in Town Of
Wheatland, Found Dead Sunday.

Mrs. Mary Getke, one Of the best
known of the pioneer women of the
town of Wheatland was found dead in
her bed at the family residence at
SHADES Corners on Sunday morning. She
had been in the best of health on Sat
urday night when she retired and moth
ing had been heard from her by other
members Of the family during the
night. Death probably came from
heart disease while she slept. The body
was found early Sunday morning when
one Of the members of the family went
to the roof to call Mrs. Getke for break
fast. The deceased had been resident
of the county for nearly half a century
and was one of the best known women
in that section of the county. Justice
Kessler of the village Of SHADES Corners
made an investigation of the case and
decided that it was not necessary to call
a coroner's jury.
