Cultivate Sudan Grass,

Sudan grass should he cultivated as
soon as possible after the first crop of
hay is removed. A good stirring Of the
soil at this time will be a great HELM
to the plants in making a good, strong
start toward the second crop. If the
ground has been kept clean and free
from weeds during the early part of
the growth Of the first crop it will not
be necessary to cultivate frequently
during the growth of the second crop,
Just enough cultivation to maintain
the desired soil mulch will be needed
In this case. BY the time the first crop
has matured the plants have stooled
and spread out in the row to such an
extent that it makes any cultivation a
much less tedious operation for the
second crop than is the case with the
young plants during the early growth
OF the first crop. Since the first CROP
IT. to be allowed to stand for seed pur-
poses, the growing period of the sec
ond crop will be shortened several
weeks at best. and good cultivation
will help considerably toward increas-
ing the yield Of the second cutting.

Taft Again In Red Cross,

Washington, Dec. 2o-Presidcnt Will
son has appointed eX-President Taft
chairman of the central committee of
the American Red Cross to succeed
Major General George w. Davis, re-
tired, who resigned OH account of ill
health.
When General Davis determined re.
Gently to give up the work President
Wilson, mindful of the former presi-
dents experience for many years as
president of the Red Cross, wrote to
him asking it he would accept the
chairmanship. Later the president re-
ceivcd Il letter from Mr.. Taft saying he
would be very glad again to associate
himself with the Society's work. The
appointment has followed.
Mr.. Taft was elected president of the
American Red Cross Feb. 8, 1905. He
was reelected successfully and served
until April 20, 1913, when, after the in
%auguration of Mr.. Wilson as president
of the United States, he resigned and
suggested that the honor should go
with the office of president Of the Unit
cd States. The suggestion was accept
cd by the committee, and Mr.. Wilson
became head of the organization.
Mr.. Taft's appointment, it is said,
means that he will take active charge
of the central governing body of tho
Red Cross. which passes on all admin.
istrative affairs of the organization.
He will preside at the business meet
ings. which are held in Washington
from time to time. and in that way
will relieve the president from the de-
tail duties now required of him.

FACTS ABOUT BARLEY.

Barley is accused of causing abortion
in COWS to which it is fed, but this is a
libel on a splendid grain.
Those fine horsemen. the Arabs, feed
it to their horses as u concentrate. 1t is
rich in carbohydrates, but deficient in
protein.
Swine growers who have tried it
claim that it is the best single grain
feed for hogs in a dry lot.
At both the Utah and California ex
pertinent stations it is fed with alfalfa
to balance the ration.
In southern climates it is sown in the
fall and grows all winter, making fine
pasture. Take the stock off it in time
and 1t will still make Il good croD Of
barley hay if cut when in the milk.
1t makes a fine crop for hogging OF
if the beardless varieties are sown-
and it comes earlier than almost any
other grain crop for this purpose.
These winter varieties yield better
than the spring varieties.-Farm and

Winter barley is a coming grain. In
Michigan winter varieties have been
developed which are hardy all over
the southern peninsula-but they are
bearded. otherwise they would lie ideal

BREEDING POULTRY.
Best Results Come From Mating Birds
Of Good Vitality,

Of Good Vitality.
Director Quisenberry of the national
egg laying contest. Mountain Grove,
Mo-. gives these rules for breeding
poultry:
Breed only from stock of high vitality
which has never been seriously sick
with any disease.
Breed from mature males and
females.
Breed from birds as near ideal in
shape and color as possible. \ good
all round bird is better to use as Il
breeder than a bird exceptionally good
in one point and exceptionally poor in
others.
Let the male be exceptionally strong
in points where the female is weakest.
and vice versa.
Instead of buying ten males at a
dollar each and thus getting very or
much better to get one good male at
$40 and mate him in q separate pen
to ten or twelve of your very choicest
females.
The condition of the parent stock is
lar"ely-in fact, almost wholly-rc-
sponsible for the condition of the baby
chicks.
Good, strong. vigorous males and
females, properly mated, will store so
much vitality in the eggs that the
embryo can stand Il lot of abuse in
incubation, and the baby chick will
overcome and outlive many of our mis-
takes in faulty breeding.
