BIG VALUE TO FARMER
Prairie Chicken Is Efficient De-

Nearly IS Per Cent Of Birds Food
Consists Of Insects, Bulk of Them
Grasshoppers-Destroys
Many Beetles.

The prairie chicken, now common
only in Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota.

the birds which formerly occurred
over a much wider range than at pres
ent and in far greater abundance. IT
has been reduced principally by hunt

clare allegiance to the highest prin.
ciples of game preservation yet fail
to practice these principles.
Like birds of its family the prairie
chicken is very prolific, and if ade
uuately protected would soon become
numerous in its old haunts. The bird
is easily domesticated, hence is emf
nently suited for propagation on pre-
serves.
The prairie chicken is valuable not
only as game, but as an efficient de-
stroyer of farm pests, and any farm
er would profit by having these birds
reared on his place. Almost Is per

GROWING sUGAR-BEET SEED
Outbreak of European War Has Cut
OFF Supply From Germany--Farm-
err Must Find New Source.

The greater part of the sugar-beel
States has formerly been imported
from Europe, principally from Ger
many and Russia. The outbreak Of
the present war has cut off this sup
ply and now the problem is to find
new sources for obtaining seed. The
growing of beet seed has been neg
lected in this country due to a de-
creasing sugar content in beets from
native grown seed and also to the
scarcity of the hand labor necessary
In harvesting the crop. But now it is
up to the American farmer to grow
his own seed
Although most of the factories have
sufficient seed on hand for the
1916 sowing, yet a considerable acre
age has been set to seed beets. The
beets are set out early in spring in
rows four feet apart, the crown of
the beet being just level with the sur
face of the ground
First large thick cluster OF leaves
grows up to about Is inches in height
and then the seed stalks appear
Some beets send up but one large
branching seed stalk but the major
ity have several, four to ten, of the
tall branching stalks.
The beets are cultivated both ways
similar to corn until about the first
of July when the seed stalks get so
tall, in some cases reaching up five
and six feet, and bending over pre-
vent cultivation. When viewed near
by field of these plants does not
present a very prepossessing appear
ance, the tall, struggling seed stalks
greatly resembling large plants of
the narrow-leaved or curly dock.

VALUE OF STRAW FOR STOCK
Comfortable Stable and Good Bed 10
as Necessary for Animals as II
Is tor Human Beings.

All stock should be given thick
bed of straw, leaves or sawdust. A
comfortable stable and good bed is
as necessary for animals as it is for
human beings. If straw is wanted for
feed, forest leaves may be used in
stead.
Leaves contain large percentage
as straw for filters, are very good.
Sawdust makes an excellent litter for
all stock. 1t not only adds bulk,
which is of value, as thus the manure
is divided, and is more easily and
evenly distributed, but it decays both
in the heap and in the soil, thus af-
fording organic matter and ash to the
plant, while it retains all the valua-
BILE qualities of the manure.
Sawdust absorbs the urine, and
when this saturated sawdust is
thrown out into pile ir the yard,
it will soon ferment. and if the ma
nure is not kept moist and well plas-
tered much of the ammonia in the
manure will evaporate into the air.
The better plan is to mix the horse
manure with the COW manure, using
plenty of plaster and woods earth.
A layer CT each kind of manure mixed
with few shovels of woods earth
will add vegetable matter and pre-
vent the loss of the urine. which is
the most valuable portion of the ma
nure.
Straw is worth fully $3.50 per ton
for bedding alone, and If dry and of
good quality, worth twice this for feed.
In cold, frosty weather plenty of bed.
ding is great comfort to a work
horse, and, in fact, to any animal.
Bed the sheep pens with little straw
once day Most of the straw will
be eaten If of good quality.

Ruffed Grouse.

pheasant in some other parts Of it's
range, is one of our most widely rang
ing game birds. 1t inhabits wooded
regions from Canada and Alaska south
to California, Colorado. Tennessee and
northern Georgia. 1t responds to pro-
lection in gratifying manner and
has proved to be well adapted to
propagation under artificial conditions.
On account of these qualities and its
desirability as a game species 1t is
a good subject for game farming.
Wild fruits, mast, and browse make
up the bulk of the vegetable food of
this bird. 1t is very fond of hazel
nuts, beechnuts, chestnuts and acorns,
and it eats practically all kinds of
wild berries and other fruits. Vari-
GUS weed seeds are also consumed.
More than 10 per cent of the food con-
sists of insects, about half of which
are destructive beetles.

TO APPLY ANIMAL MANURES
Fertilizer Should Be Spread on Top Of
Plowed Ground and Then Well
Narrowed Under.

Manure for spring crop should be
well rotted and fine. 1t should be
spread on top of the plowed ground
and well narrowed in. Harrow the
field three times across the burrows,
the full length of the field, and then
diagonally.
A thorough mixing of the manure
with the soil acts quickly, and less
manure will be needed. Long, coarse
manure should be spread over the
sod and plowed under. The proper
time to spread fresh manure and long
stalk and straw manure is during the
winter and early in spring.
When coarse manure is plowed I'M
der late in the spring it will take some
time to rot, and is sure to make the soil
too loose, allowing the free entrance
of air and the loss of a great amount
of moisture, which is needed by the
corn. If this coarse manure is plowed
under, roll the ground; if it is dry as
soon as plowed, then harrow and roll
to compact the ground, and lust be-
fore it is time to plant harrow the
field both ways with the spring tooth
harrow, followed with the smoothing
harrow. By this method the coarse
stalks and straw will rot by June, and
VIII be in condition to be taken up by
corn roots in midsummer. Put the
corn in with $50 pounds of some good
bone fertilizer to the acre to promote
quick, vigorous growth.
