SOILS Of STATE IN
NEED Of THOUGHT
Farmers Urged to Take Care to
Preserve Them For the Raising
of Food Crops

Pennsylvania is declared to have
greater diversity of soil conditions
than any other State in the Union and
to be much in need of systematic con-
servation in the first report on the
soils of the State to be issued as an
official publication. The report was
prepared by the Department of Agri-
culture and reviews the soil and eli
matte conditions and recommends that
farmers plane over wide areas the
crops which enrich rather than those
which exhaust soils, while the effect
of the removal of forests without ade-
quate provision for reforestation on
the soils is pointed out. The first part
of the report deals with the counties
east of the Allegheny mountains in
detail. many of the townships being
discussed at length and recommended
tions made for the treatment of the
land. The second portion will deal
with the western counties where it is
declared that large areas are suitable
for stock raising which are not be-
ing taken advantage of by farmers.
The specific recommendations for
counties will be made for those west
of the Alleghenies just as they are
made for those in the eastern half or
the State.

ROSE COMB BUFF LECHORNS
BY Louis p aul Graham

No family of fowls is so generally
distributed through all the civilized
countries of the world as are the Medi-
terranean breeds. Chief among these
are the Leghorns. otherwise known as
the egg machines" It is a we'll
known slogan that The hen that lays
is the hen that pays" and wherever
eggs and plenty of them are wanted
some variety of the Leghorn or Span
ish breeds is selected to produce those
eggs.
There are eight varieties of Leg
horns. and of these three are bred
with rose combs as we'll as with single
combs. The reason Of the rose comb
is obvious. Leghorns are the greatest
layers: nevertheless cold winters frost
their large single combs, and a hen
with a frosted comb is a sick hen and
won't lay. The rose comb varieties
are supposed TO have frost-proof

college n the head OF the committee
which introduced the Christian hymnal

McNair Is known best as a great foot
ball player who was halfback on the
varsity three years n was regarded
as a phenomenal dodger, runner and
kicker. In the three years OF his var
sity experience McSair went down to
defeat only once, the first game in which
he appeared as a regular player. The
contes was with Harvard and was
played between seasons-April IS, 1877

game by 2 to~uchdowns to I for the
