ing of stable manure or straw which
has been used as scratching litter. This
is to provide soil humus, which is es-
sential to proper conditions for grow
ing crops The land should then be
spaded to the depth of seven or eight
inches, taking care to turn under all
manure and contaminated soil and
bring to the surface a clean, fresh
earth.
Before raking the surface it should
receive a dressing of air slaked lime
in the proportion of about fifty bushels
to the acre. The lime should be thor
oughly worked into the soil and the
surface of the garden tilled-until it is
fine and smooth.
Land Ready For Planting
The land is now ready for planting
and the seed should be sown as early
as possible according to each par
ticular geographical location.
When planning such crops as car
rots, beets and cabbage in the garden
for home use it is good plan to plant
in excess, and those which are not
used or sold as green vegetables should
be allowed to more fully mature and
may be used in the winter as green
food.
Along toward the middle of the
summer is the time to prepare the land
for the green crops for the fowls dur
ing the next winter and following
summer. When the early crops OF
peas. beans. radishes. etc. are taken
off the land should be nicely worked
up into a fine seed bed and sown to
alfalfa or crimson clover. Where these
small plots have been lined and the
seed bed carefully prepared there
should be no trouble in securing a
good stand of either, without the use
of any bacteria or other inoculating
substances. The only precaution which
is positively necessary, is to SOW the
seed during July or early August and
then at a time following a rain or
when the seed bed is in damp condi-
ton. This may be accomplished by
watering the seed bed Immediately
al fter the seed has been sown and kept
watered until the tender plants have
become large enough to withstand ad-
verse conditions.
Crimson clover may be sown be-
tween the growing crop if the soil be-

White Polish
BY Louis Pa uI Graham

This is a variety of race of fowls
(which is more than a hundred years
|old. They were first known as the
Crested Dutch, and it is probable that
they came from Italy to the Neither
lands, where they were first bred to a
ALLY were distributed over Europe and
thence to America.
They became known as Poland fowls
probably from the belief that their
source of origin was in that country,
land this name was used alternately
with Polish until. in 1850. they came
into general public favor under the
latter name.
These fowls have always had a linn
Iited number of admirers and they at
tract much attention from the general
public in the poultry exhibitions be-
cause OF their immense crests. They
|have not. however, attained wide popu-
|larity because of the lack of certain
economic qualities.
The first of the several varieties of
Polish was the White Crested Black.
From these the clever Dutch breeders
originated all the other varieties, in
|cluding the subject of the accompany
ling illustration. the White Polish. They
have immense crests, the larger the
better provided they are round and
fun. In size and shape they are much
like the White Leghorn, but have blue
|or white legs and white skin.
They are gentle and thrive well in
limited quarters, provided the soil Is
dry and the fowls are kept free from
|dampness. The hens lay large num-
|bers of white shelled eggs. are nom
|sitters. and these eggs must be incu-
bated, either by artificial means or by

BREAD INSPECTION
FOR LOCAL OFFICER
Act of 1913 Does Not Confer ANY
Authority on the State Chief
of Standards

Officials about the State Capitol who
have been following the controversy
over the responsibility for enforcing the
I laws governing the size and weight of
loaf of bread are of the opinion that
| the State Bureau of Standards is with
out authority to make any rulings or
TO instruct inspectors as to enforcing,
the act. The act of 1918 is held to be
very specific about the powers confer
red and it is held that bread is not
mentioned.
The second section of the act of 1877
regulating the sale of bread makes loaf
pois and requires bakers to keep scales
at their places of sale. making it the
especial duty of the clerk of the mar
ket. in any place where such officer
is appointed, to discover and prosecute
all persons offending against this act"
The fine is made $40. half going to
the informer. 1t is held that this act
places the supervision of bread beyond
jurisdiction of the inspector of weights
and measures. The act of 1918 defines
commodities and while regulating their
sale does not mention bread. The only
way the act of 1913 regulating sale of
commodities affects bread is by reouir-
ing net quantity TO be marked on all
goods sold in package form. If bread
is sold in a package or carton it comes
under the act and must be marked ac-
cordingly. It is pointed out at the
CaplIol tndI IHe inspectors OF weights
and measures are TO enforce the act of
1918, but it does not mention any other
act.
The contention is also made that the
tolerances or exemptions therefrom
made by the bureau of standards chief
were made long before there was any
question about bread. These eX-
emptions apply to all commodities sold
for five cents or less in package from
such as matches, needles. pins which
1t is held need not have the numerical
on FHa.x hoo
be of no material benefit.
The attitude taken here is that the
enforcement of the bread law is one for
local authorities and not for the State
or the inspectors.

tween these plants is worked up fine
and smooth. In this manner it is pos
sible to save a months time.
When corn begins to tassel the land
may be worked and sown to rye or
wheat care being taken to cover the
seed thoroughly. which Will give an
excellent supply of green food for
early winter use, besides being avail
able the following Spring.
Protecting the Food
Late in the Fall it will be found that
after the garden crops have been re-
moved there is a luxuriant growth OF
green food available for the fowls, but
If they were allowed to run over it al
will 1t would not be long before II
was scratched out and completely
ruined.
In order to prevent this damage and
to preserve the plot of growing green
foods as long as possible, they are to
be protected from the ravages of the
fowls by means of screens. These
screens Will permit the fowls to pick
on the tops of the growing crops, but
will not allow them to injure the bed
A convenient method of protecting
the beds is to take some one-inch
boards, about six or eight inches wide,
an1 make them into frames which will
fit over the bed and then cover the
WIFI ii wire SCTteIl ildNlIlB a
one-inch mesh.
These frames will allow the fowls
to secure a great amount of green food
during the entire year, especially if the
yards are cultivated alternately. which
they should be to get the best results.
If there is any land not used by the
beds this may be sown to oats in the
Spring. as described above.
During the winter and cold months,
when there is no green food aVaiia ble
on the outside, the best results are OBJ
tanned by sprouting oats in a cellar
or warm room.
This is a simple process and large
or small quantities may be sprouted,
according to the equipment. The prin-
ciple of the process is to wet the oats
thoroughly with 1ukewarm water and
then keep them moist while spread
out on q board or in a pan. 1t is i'm
portant that the oats should not be
spread much thicker over the pan
than one-half inch deep.

Early Spring
Poultry Ailments

Spring is a favorite season for
poultry diseases. Special precau-
tions should then be taken to pro-
tect them from ailments peculiar
to the season.
One of the best preventives is
cleanliness, with the natural con-
comitants of pure air and sunlight.
Nermin should be specially looked
after, and they can be exterminated
by the use of well-known germi-
cides. Colds are one of the sea-
sons prevalent diseases, and there
are standard treatments for such
affections.
Next weeks article will cover
many points of interest to every
poultryman.
Look for it next Saturday, ap-
pearing exclusively in the Tele-
