YOUNG PULLET WORKS QUICK
Rhode Island Red Chick Matched in
February Brings OF Brood Of
Chicks in July.

The following incidents were related
recently by Roy e. Jones, extension
instructor of the Connecticut college
of agriculture:
"A Rhode Island Red pullet Matched
February stole her nest, laid Is eggs
and came off with her chicks on July
5, just five months from the time she
herself was Matched. Allowing 81 days
for incubation and IS days or more
for laying, this pullet must have taken
up her life work at considerably less
than four months of age. But this is
not entirely an exception: rs pullets
Matched February 5, z, IL, began lay
ing June 10 and are nearing so per
cent production at the present time.
These pullets were fed sour milk from
the very first and did not have water
to drink until warm weather, when
they were put out on the range. No
beef scrap was used in their rations.
Feed formulas recommended by the
Connecticut agricultural college were
used"

vERMIN CAUSE HOG DISEASES
No Animal Can Grow and Prosper II
Pestered With Insects-Disin-
feet Houses and Troughs.

It has been proved beyond question
Of doubt that lice on hogs cause chol-
era and other diseases, the parasites
being carriers of disease germs. No
animals can grow and do well pes
tered with insects.
It is practical economy to disinfect
hogs, their houses, troughs and feed
ing grounds frequently. It is means
of keeping the animals thrifty and Of
avoiding disease. Lime and coal tar
disinfectants should be used literally
and frequently wherever hogs stay or
eat. There would be more and health
Ter hogs il farmers generally would
purchase and use more lime and COM
mon cheap disinfectants for their
hogs. A barrel Of lime is cheaper and
better than a dead hog.
The best way we have found of
treating hogs for lice is to spray or
scrub them with kerosene or crude oil
every three or four weeks during the
year, says writer in Farm Progress.
We use a wooden candy pail, placing
in it couple of gallons of warm
water, about gallon of kerosene and
about a half cake of strong laundry
soap. Soft soap is as good, or better.
The mixture is stirred and sprinkled
over the hogs with an old broom.
while they are eating good slop from
troughs, when they win stand quietly
for the treatment.

WAYS OF BLAMcHING CELERY
Different Methods Of Treating Plant
DescrIbed-AII Have Been Found
Most Satisfactory.

Ry e. r. M'KUNE. Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
There are many different ways to
blanch celery. The following have been
found to be the most practical:
Trench Method.-When the young
plants are set out, they are placed in
a trench six or eight inches deep. AS
they grow, the dirt is gradually worked
in around them, care being taken not
to cover the leaves.
Banking Method or clean
straw can be used for this. When
the plants get fairly large. the dirt
between the rows can be pulled up
around the stalks, or straw can be
made to serve the same purpose. Do
not use manure, as it is apt to fer
ment and injure the stalk.
Boards. Six to eight-inch boards
are often used. They are placed one
on each side Of the row, and as near

EXCEL AS EGG LAYERS
Guinea Fowls Are Also Superior
as Insect Destroyers.
1They Range Long DIsaaqees From

Food, But Come Near House TO :.
Lay-FIesh Is "Gamey."

(By A. J. LEGG. West Virginia.)
Some people object to the noise
which guineas make and their wild
nature, but as summer egg-layers
guinea hens are hard to beat
We have three guinea hens and a
cock that have the range of the fields,
and they are the best insect destroy
ers that we have on the farm. They
have q better reputation with us as
insect destroyers than the thieving
crow which some writer's commend
so highly for the bugs and worms
they eat, and they also pay a hand
some profit in eggs for any grain they
may eat.
The guinea hens speak of lay an
egg each day, and they have been lay
ing for nearly three months. They
are likely to keep this up for two
months yet.
We have brood of young guineas
that are growing nicely-they are a
cross between the pearl and the white
guinea, and are growing better than
we ever got either full-blood to do.
never liked the idea of crossing
breeds, but a cross seems to increase
the vitality of the guinea.
Some have trouble finding the
guinea nests, but our guineas have
never gone far from the house to
make their nests. Sometimes they
lay in the hen nests in the poultry
house.
They range long distances from the
house during the day in search Of
food, but come near the house to lay.
Guineas are marketed at from six
to eight months old. Broilers weigh
ing about one pound are in great de-
mand, as their flesh is then tender and
somewhat "gamey." Old birds are
dry. tough and tasteless. They should
be marketed with the feathers on, the
same as game. The age of a guinea
fowl can be told in the same way as

MAKING CREAM-c0oLING BOX
able Tank Can Be Arranged Be-
tween Pump and Trough.

(By j. L. LAMMIS. Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
1t is desirable to remove the animal
heat from the milk as soon as possible
after 1t is drawn, and ice is usually
recommended. On the farm, however,
1t is often not practicable to store ice,
but the same purpose can be served at
very little expense, by putting the
milk as soon as drawn into cooling
tank. Such a box placed between the
pump and the watering troughs SO
that all the water passes through it,
win keep the cream or milk at low
temperature until ready for delivery.
A concrete box can be made on the
farm that will serve exceIlently for
this purpose. 1t should be provided
with a cover, and shaded to keep the
water cool when the pump is not rum
ming. There are also several forms of
wooden and galvanized metal tanks
for this purpose on the market. Some
of these are now insulated and COW
cred SO that they retain the low tenn
perature for some time.

MAKING SPOILED HAY USEFUL
When Not Too Badly Injured It Can
Be Sailed and Fed to stock-5y
No Means Burn It.

There will be much spoiled hay this
season because of the excessive rains
that have interfered with hay har-
vest. With some farmers it may be a
problem what to do with this spoiled
hay. By all means do not burn it.
Where it is not so badly spoiled as
to be injurious to stock it can be dried
well, sailed and fed. There is much
feeding value in it if stock can be in
duced to eat it, and what is not eaten
can be used as bedding and thus be
made into manure.
Rather than burn this hay scatter
it over the fields that are to be plowed
for corn next spring. In this way the
fertilizing value would not be lost.

WarrIor Of Today.

George Wharton Pepper said at a
luncheon at the Plattsburg training
camp for officers:
THE methods of warfare have
changed enormously in the past year
The sword, for example. is no longer
carried. The sword has quite disap-
peared from war.
"A story comes from the Argonne
about a French chasseur who took o
German officer prisoner. The chasseur,
a boy, a tyro. said to the officer:
"Give up your sword"
but the officer shook his head and
answered:
81 have no sword to give up. But
won't my vitriol spray. my Oil projec-
tor or my gas cylinder do as well?'

the plants as possible. Boards have
the advantage over the other method
in that they are easy to place when
needed, and can be removed and
stored until the next year.
Wrapping Paper.-Strong manila
wrapping paper can be used. Each
individual plant is wrapped. This is
a slow method, but keeps the stalks
clean.
Tile.-Four-inch drainage tile is
sometimes used. The tile is simply
slipped over the plant when it is seven
to ten inches high. The tile stands in
an upright position and affords good
protection to the stalks. This meth
cd is not as expensive as it may sound
because the tile can be used for many
years for this purpose.

Giving Good NEST Egg" For

Excellent Speech Made By

board, following business meeting
Of the Boosters club at the Y. M. c..
A., where it was decided to turn the
$4,000 remaining in the club treasury
after Boosters day into a general
fund, the purpose of which should be
to boost business generally and to
provide working capital to secure
new industries. Though some of the
merchants Of the city will draw their
share out of this fund, the majority
will remain with the boosting prop0-
