PROTECT THE LATE MATCHES
Chicks Are Special Prey of Rats
Weasels and Hawks Unless Proper
Precautions Are Taken.

Late-hatched chicks often become
the special prey of rats, weasels and
hawks unless proper precautions are
taken to avoid losses from this
source. These enemies seem worse
in late summer than early in the sea
son. In the case of rats, this is ao
counted for by the fact that as soor
as hot weather arrives many of them
desert their hot quarters around the
barns and sheds and take to the ole
board and rail piles, as well as to the
patches Of thick weeds and grass
Here they Turk, ready to pounce upon
unsuspecting chicks.
AS to preventive measures: first
all harbors near the chicks runs
should be banished and the rodents
destroyed before they have had time
to do any harm. Until this is done
the best preventive measure is the
free use of wire netting about the
coops, such as screening ventilation
holes, providing screen doors. Nor
must it be forgotten that rodents can
burrow, hence when these enemies
are present floors in the coops are
necessary if losses would be avoided.
1t is when chicks run in an open
field that hawks and crows do the
most mischief. When there are trees
or shrubbery in the yards, with a
few convenient shelters of boards or
boxes under which the chicks can
speedily seek protection when bird
of prey swoops down, the losses will
not be great.

Children, Color Up This Picture.

Long time ago, when panther cried
in the woods, for all the world like the
cry of a woman in pain, an old man
would wake up from his light sleep
and mutter:
so, you are calling to your brother!
Well, you may go on calling, for your
brother is sound asleep"
And the old man would draw his
blanket over his head to shut out the
sound of the panther's crying. Next
morning, while everybody was eating,
the old man would say that he had
heard the panther in the night calling
for his brother; and then one of the
little boys would ask for the story of
how the panther got-and lost-a
brother.
Once, as the old men told the story,
a hunter was in the woods in the mid
die of the afternoon, and he met a
panther coming toward him. At once
the hunter put an arrow against his
bowstring and got ready to shoot, but
then he was surprised to hear the
panther speak to him.
Where are you going?" asked the
panther. The hunter said that he was
looking for a deer.
We'll, so am ]" said the panther
1--WE are going to hold dance, and
seven of US panthers are out hunting
for the finest buck deer in the woods
Come along with me and we will hunt
together"
So the hunter went along with the
panther until the panther had killed
the finest buck the hunter had ever
seen and slung it over his shoulder.
Now" said the panther, I'VE will &C
to the dance ground" And the two
went along the stream until they came
to the place where the stream began;
and there they found a door opening
Into the side of the hill.
I'VE will go inside" said the pan
sther. AS they went through the dool

die of September, but the growth left
for winter protection.
Alfalfa may turn yellow and look
sickly; this may be due to an over
abundance of moisture or to a disease
known as leaf spot. When alfalfa is
affected as described, it is a good plan
to cut regardless of the state of ma
turity The next growth will show no
detrimental effects.
The first cutting is generally made
in early June, and, as rule, is the
heaviest and hardest to cure. Hay
caps are, found to be very essential
In curing the hay; often one-half the
total value OF the hay is saved by their
use.
In good drying weather the alfalfa
cut in the forenoon can be raked into
windows In the afternoon and put into
cocks containing not more than one
hundred pounds of hay.
These should be promptly capped
and left for two days. If the weather
is fair, cocks can be open to the sun
and wind for a few hours and then
hauled to the barn.

house he had ever gazed upon, and the
finest dancing place he had ever put
his foot upon. Everywhere the trees
were green and the air was soft as If
it were summer, though the hunter had
been tramping through the snow when
he met the panther.
There was a great company OF
dancers there, but they were all
panthers; and when the other six
hunters who had been sent out to kill
deer by the panthers had come back,
the dance began.
After he had watched the dance for
some time; the hunter said that he
would like to join in. So the panther
who had led him into the underground
place came up to the hunter and
passed his tongue across the hunters
cheeks and said:
You are now my brother, and you
may join the dance"
1t was the best dance the hunter had
ever had;l and after he had made a
few rounds he wanted to go back to
his people and bring some of his
friends to the place. So, when none
of the panthers was looking he slipped
away to the entrance. And when he
was once outside in the snow he hur.
ried as fast as he could to the settle
ment. AS he came to his home he met
party of hunters going out to look
for him. He had been away for a
great many days, though he thought
it was only few hours
He told the people about the house
of the panthers, and started out to
lead some of them to the place. But
the snow had covered up his tracks
and he could not find the door in the
side of the hill.
And in seven days the hunter who
had been made brother to the panther
| died, because he could not longer live
with men. The day after the hunter
died the panther came to look for him
and when he found out that the hunter
was dead the panther began to cry
Ever since the panther has gone -abou,

Tins for cyclists.

To insure comfortable riding see
that the point of your saddle is slight
ly tilted up.
Never start on a journey without
first examining your machine care
fully, paying special attention to the
action of the brakes,
Should you cut your tire, always
detach it. and place piece of canvas
over the hole (inside). This will pre-

ly into hay, and caps are an absolute
necessity. After the alfalfa remains
under the caps for two days in moist
weather it is necessary to remove the
cocks of hay or the alfalfa plants un.
derneath will meet with certain death.
II the cocks Of alfalfa cannot be
opened on account of moist weather
they should at least be drawn from the
spot where standing. This can be
done readily by sticking pitchfork
into the hay near the bottom OF the
cock; then pulling 1t directly toward
you, it can be moved easily.
Dew and sunshine hurt alfalfa as
well as rain, hence the use Of the hay
cap Is urged as necessity for making
well-cured hay. At the Wisconsin OK

alfalfa were obtained during one sea

THREE BREEDS OF CHICKENS

Any One Class Is Shown by
Australian Competitions.

CBy PROF. DRYDEN. Oregon Agricul.
tural College.)
That the heavy layers are not con
fined to any one breed has been shown
by laying competitions in Australia,
which have extended over a period OF
six years.
In three of the six years, the white
leghorns laid the most: in two other
years the silver wyandottes won, and
in one year the black langshans stood
first.
These breeds represent the three
different classes of fowls, namely egg
breeds, general purpose breeds and
meat breeds. In 1906-1907 contest,
the pen of black langshans laid an
average of BAT eggs per fowl, the
white leghorns 2S9, and the silver
wyandottes 1s9 eggs per fowl.

A very important factor to observe
In alfalfa culture is the proper
time and manner in cutting and curing
the hay. For best results alfalfa
should be cut when coming into bios
som.
When about one-tenth of the plants
are In bloom and the weather fair, the
mower should be started and the al
falfa cut. leaving the stubble at least
one inch in length.
If the alfalfa is left until in full
bloom, the stems are woody and coarse
and the feeding quality much i'm
paired; the leaves will then fall quite
readily, causing considerable loss of
the best part of the forage.
When cut shortly after the first
blossoms appear, the plants recover
quickly and usually in 80 days from
the time Of taking first cutting from
the field another is ready to cut Al
