Washington. Iuly 3I.-The little

DESTROY BREEDING PLACE

The little wheat pest thrivcs best
in rank-growing grain rs in spots
where manure piles or straw stacks
have stood. These places are usually
the center OF infestation and the lice
may be found there even during the
winter. Therefore the volunteer
growth OF wheat that occurs in the
vicinity of straw stacks or manure
piles should be plowed under or 9TH
crwise destroyed late in the season
in order to destroy the plant-lice
breeding thereon. In some cases it
may be desirable to destroy this
vegetation even earlier: that Is. be-
fore the winter wheat is planted or
at least before it makes any growth
above ground.

and oat fields in Oklahoma and Tex

PROPER FEED FOR TURKEYS
When the Hen Begins to Set She
Should Be Provided With Corn and
and Wheat and Fresh Water.
(BY c. NJ. SHULTZ.O


When the turkey hen begins to sit,
she should be provided with a dish
Of whole corn and wheat, given access
to fresh water twice a day, and then
must be left absolutely undisturbed.
In order to get the best results, each
turkey hen should have an individual
pen where she can sit and eat and
drink without being compelled to go
out into the yard with the other birds,
or be disturbed in any way.
If she is to be disturbed at all, it
is only to give her a thorough dusting
with insect powder two or three times
during the sitting period, which COW
ers from 27 to 80 days. During this
time the turkey hen sits very quietly,
sometimes refusing to leave the nest
for 36 hours at time to get food or
water. She should never be urged to
leave the nest for this purpose or any
other, but food and water should al
ways be within her reach at all times
She knows best what she wants, and
when she wants it.

SOME TIMELY GARDEN NOTES
Hotbeds Should Be Watched Closely
and Manure Carefully Prepared
Inspect All Implements.

(By LIE ROY CADY, Assistant Horticui-
turist. University Farm, ST. Paul, MIMI
Watch the hotbeds closely.
Ventilate hotbeds on the side away
from the wind If possible.
Manure may be spread on the gar
den and plowed in this spring.
BE sure the manure is heating even
ly before 1t is put in the frame.
n, II hotbed manure does not heat
readily put on few buckets of hot
water.
Bank hotbeds with manure that is
not heating. Dry manure will not be
SO likely to freeze and take heat from
the frame.
When pruning, have a reason for
every cut made and close to the limb
or trunk. Leave no stubs.
Pruning may be done late in March.
Cover all wounds over one-half inch in
diameter with white lead or grating
wax.
Seed for most early plants may be
sown at this time. Transplant when
large enough and keep growing nicely
till they are ready to set in the field.
Inspect all garden tools, sharpen and
put them into the best condition. Per
haps there are some new ones that
should be purchased Now is a good
time. Look them up.
Grating wax is made by melting to-
gether four pounds Of resin, two
pounds of beeswax and one pound of
unsalted tallow. Heat this about IF
teen or twenty minutes, then throw
into cold water and pull in the same
manner as molasses candy.

CULLING THE POULTRY FLOCK
Hens Over Two or Three Years Of
Age, Badly Shaped Birds and Poor
Layers Are Improbable.

By PROF. J.. G. HALPlN, Wisconsin
College of Agriculture.)
The poultry flock should be culled
during early summer, so as to take
advantage of the comparatively good
prices that prevail then. Hens over
two or three years old, the small
hens, the badly shaped ones with
crow heads or crooked breasts, over
fat hens, and. hens known to be poor
layers, should be sold. Not only will
the price be lower later in the season,
but the presence of these undesirable
hens will reduce the efficiency of the
entire flock. Then, after the flock has
been culled, all the remaining hens
should be given leg bands or other

RURAL SCHOOLS OF COUNTRY
Movement to Stimulate Interest Among
Children In the Work Of the
Boys and Girls Clubs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The rural schools of the country
have instituted agricultural studies
relating to the Boys Corn club and
the Girls Canning club work under
the direction of the department OF
agriculture. The movement is to
stimulate interest among the school
children In the work Of the depart
ment's juvenile clubs.
AS planned by the department there
Is a course of ten studies in agricul-
ture covering a period of ten weeks.
Teachers are urged by the officials to
teach agriculture along the lines sug-
gested by the department, at least
twice a month, and to encourage the
scholars to take up active agricultural
lessons. The following instructions to
teachers have been issued by the de-
partment:
First week-Use this period for the
purpose of organizing the corn club
and enrolling the boys who are inter
ested. Call the girls of the sixth and
seventh grades together, organizing
them into a canning club. Urge all
the girls in the community to be pres
ent and become members.
Second week-lnstruct the boys how
to select their land and teach them
the kind and character of soil. Teach
the girls about the different kinds of
soils that are best for tomato grow
Ing.
Third week Study the careful
preparation Of the seed bed. Study
with the girls the Importance and ne
cessity OF careful preparation of the
soil for successful tomato crops,
Fourth week-Devote time to lesson
In winter cover crops. Show the girls
the necessity of keeping careful rec.
ords OF every step in the growing of
the tomato crop so that they can make
full reports at the end of the year.
Fifth week--Make a careful study
Of seed corn. Spend some time study
ing diseases, insects and remedies
that work on the tomato plant.
Sixth week-Study report blanks
and Impress upon the boys the i'm
portance OF keeping full and accurate
data so that asreport' can be made at
the end of the lscason.a Study hot

Long time ago wild turkeys used
to strut and gobble through the woods
close by the camps of the Indians. At
dusk the old gobblers sent the sounds
Of their quarreling to the ears of the
sleepy Indian children, and the chill
dren rubbed their heavy eyes and
asked the old people to tell about the
time the rabbit got away from the
wildcat by getting for him feast Of
wild turkey meat And the old people
would tell this story:
One day the rabbit stayed out play
ing until 1t was very late. The sun
was down and the darkness had filed
up every crack in the big woods. and
still the rabbit stayed out to play, In
stead Of getting home as fast as he
could and going to. sleep in his hollow
stump home.
All at once, as the rabbit made a
jump over log, a wildcat dropped
from the limb Of tree just over the
rabbits path and grabbed him.
Now" said the wildcat, 81 shall
have a supper to make me dream
good dreams!"

going to eat me?"
Yes. an: said the wildcat, have
you anything to sayg"
