SWEET PEAS USED
AS A COVER CROP
As Good Green Manure Crop as
Any Other Variety Of Peas
Easy to Grow.

In Mexico the sweet pea has been
tried out as a w crop and found
most promising. In New Mexico the
peas are sown the last Of September
or the first of October. In the East.
In the latitude Of New York, autumn
planting would likely cause a partial
or total loss Of the crop, unless the
peas were planted very deep, six or
eight inches.
Peas are ready to turn under by
the first of May. The vines during
normal seasons are in full bloom by
May 1S. Some were not turned under
until the last Of May.
The results indicate that this Is one
Of the hardest and easiest to grow of
the pea family. The high cost of the
seed may keep 1t from being ex
tensively planted, otherwise the sweet
pea makes as good a green manure
crop as any Of the other varieties
Of peas.

CHICKEN LICE ARE
QUICK IN MATURING
Insects Soon Spread From One
Infested Fowl Throughout
the Whole Flock.

The common hen louise is pale dull
yellow in color; rather slender and
about one-twentieth of an inch long,
and is always without wings. 1t is
provided with six legs, and the head
is broadly rounded in front.
The lice are very active, and move
about in the feathers of an infested
fowl quickly, apparently looking for
something new, as anyone who
handles an infested hen will soon dis
cover. They keep close to the host,
and complete their entire transforma-
lions on its body. During the night
they move from the body of one fowl
to another, so that they may soon
spread from one infested hen through
out the whole flock.
The eggs of the common hen louise
are small and oval and are laid in
small clusters or "nits." Each egg is
attached by one end to the and
barbs of the feathers. They hatch in
about eight days under favorable con-
ditions. However, they may remain
unmatched for several months in a
cool place without losing their vital.
ity. -.
The young lice Matching from the
eggs resemble the adults in most re-
spects, except in size. Two or three
weeks are required under ordinary
conditions for the young louise to be-
come mature. Under favorable con-
ditions the lice may multiply 30 rapid

come badly infested in q comparative

RAISE The HEIFER
CALVES FOR DAIRY
More Than Pay for Trouble in
Quality and Quantity of
Milk They Produce.

The large milk producers, having
summer pasture and forage crops, are
decidedly in favor Of raising their
own cows. They may cost a little
more, but they more than pay for the
expense and trouble of raising in the
quantity and quality Of the milk they
yield.
The difference between an average
and an extra mixer Is fully 1000
quarts of milk in a season, worth fully
$50, or half the price of an extra
COW.

thoroughbred bull Of good milking
stock. This matter is so we'll under
stood that dairymen, who are good
judges Of cows, will give an extra
price for a cow having a record as a
first-class mixer.
It is satisfactory and profitable to
raise ones own cows and see the
steady improvement of the herd by
careful selection, good feeding and
management. This is much the best
way to build up a profitable herd.

true. and no calf is well born from
a cow that is not fed a n%ourishing ra-
ton while she is carrying it.
The danger Of this is greater among
dairy cattle than among other breeds
Of cattle, for the a that they pos
sess an inherent quality of throw
ing their food into milk. Cows that
are carrying calves should be fed
plenty of MISUNDERSTANDING
foods in connection with some form Of
good, nourishing, succulent food, Ell
ther roots or ensilage.
The dairy COW should have a period
Of rest after each milking season, so
that she may have time to build up
her energies and nourish her calf.
She will need a period of rest after
she drops her calf, so that she may
be in good, vigorous condition when
bred. Cows need rest, and time to
regain their normal condition before
they are bred again. Have you ever
stopped to think how fast we are run
ming the cow-machine when we force
her to keep up a heavy flow of milk,
besides nourishing a calf, during the
larger portion Of a year? Is it any
wonder that dairy farmers are alarmed
over the health Of their herds, and
are sending for tuberculin, hypoder-
mic syringes, and thermometers, when
they Ire forcing their COWS to their
utmost capacity?
Is it strange that they have abor-
ton, defective teats and udders, and
other ailments, when We compel them
to put all their energies into produc-
ing dairy products for US? What we
need in the dairy business is plain COW
sense, and a knowledge Of the laws
of health and vitality in our dairy
herds.

BUILD ROADS IN MOUNTAINS
California Highway Commissioner
Points Way for Opening Of Arabic
lands-Convicts to Be Used.

IF you will give us the convicts to
build roads through the mountains
there are $500, 900 acres Of arabic land
on the eastern plateau Of the Sierras
that can be opened for settlement"
said Charles F. Stern, highway COM
missioner Of California, in supporting
the bill which passed the California
legislature to permit prisoners to be
employed in road building.
California prisoners have not been
employed in this work other than in
a small way around the prison, but
the need of opening the mountain dis
tricts has started road building by
the prisoners.
The act just passed is modelled after
Colorado legislation, under which ex-
cellent results have been obtained.
The highway department is authorized
to make requisition upon the prison
department for the number of convicts
required, and is to organize and main
tain the camps as well as supervise
the road work. The prison depart
ment, however, retains control over
the discipline of the prisoners, and, al
though the national committee or
prisons and prison labor believes bet
ter results can be had under the West
Virginia system, where the prison de-
partment maintains the camps, both
the convicts and the state Of Cali
fornia will a~ssuredly benefit under the
new legislation.
The men are to be worked under the
honor system, and the prison depart
ment is empowered to grant additional
good time allowance to convicts en-
ployed in this work, conditioned upon
their loyal, obedient and efficient co.
operation with the state.
To bring about the earlier compile
ton of the state highways which will
make the isolated regions accessible.

after the adjournment of the legis.

the act to the national committee on

(By M. KELLY
In the feeding Of a herd Of dairy
cattle we must consider that the ami
mails have been artiicially bred and
developed until they stand before us
very unbalanced and abnormal ami
mails. The feeding Of dairy cattle has
been largely from the standpoint of
production at the pail, and not atten-
ton and study enough have been de-
voted to the selection of foods best
adapted to the health of the COWS, and
to the calves they are carrying.
On the other hand, there are many
dairymen who are feeding for produc-
tion and not for profit. You may ask
If feeding for production is not feeding
for profit. Not always. 1t is not the
men securing the most milk who ire
making the most clear money from
their dairy business. There is a limit
as to how much feed the cows can
utilize at a profit, Just the same as
there is a limit to how much grain
feed the cows can consume without
doing serious injury to their digestive
systems.
When we speak Of the productive
qualities of the COW, we should not
fail to keep in mind that productive
qualities include the calf as we'll as
the milk. Whenever we conduct our
feeding on any other basis than this,
we are doing it at the expense Of
the vitality and health of our cow
as well as the calves they are carry
ing.
It is not alone for present results
that we r feeding. but for the de-
yelopment of the calf that is to some
day take the place Of its dam in the
herd. The old saying that "a calf
we'll born is half grown" is eminently
