SUDAN GRASS GIVES PROMISING

NICHOLAS SCHMITz.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

It has long been an acknowledged
fact that Johnson grass would be a
very valuable hay plant in the South
If it were not for its persistent aggres
sion as an obnoxious weed after once
introduced in a field. This fact has
led the ONCE of Forage Crop Investi-
cations and others of the Department
Of Agriculture at washington to search
for type of Johnson grass that would
not after once introduced persist as q
weed. AS result, seed was obtained
in 1909 from Mr.. R. Hewison, Director
Of Agriculture and Land of the Sudan
Government at Khartnm The seed
was planted and the crop from the be.

seemed to be just what agriculturista

FROZEN COMBS SHOULD De
GUARDED AGAINST.
See That Your Hens DO Not Roost in
Exposed Places or To Them
!. selves.
ROY II. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

One OF, the hardest things to do dur
ing cold snap is to keep the combs
of the poultry from freezing. This is
true more especially Of some of the
larger combed breeds, like the Minor
cas-, Leghorns, etc. 1t, perhaps, does
not injure the value of bird to any
great extent. so far as breeding quail
ties are concerned, to have part of its
comb frozen off, but it isn't very pleas
ant to the birds nor do they look SO
well afterwards. It is q very serious
defect in a show specimen to have its
comb frozen and poultry fanciers take
extra precautions, such as taking the
birds in the house or other warm
places on cold nights, or amounting
their combs with vaseline, to keep
them from freezing.
Where more than one male is roost-
ing with the flock, one is always boss
and usually keeps his meeker COM
rades from roosting with the rest Of
the flock. Roasting alone, even though
the place may not be exposed badly,
they do not get the advantage of the
body heat from the other birds and
their combs freeze more quickly. Like
wise, few fowls roosting In big
space are not able to conserve their
heat and suffer accordingly on cold
nights. We have found, however, that
even with open front houses, II the
roosts are placed at the rear Of the
house, with q droppings board beneath,
and the roof fairly low, and are kept
wen filed with birds, there Is little
danger from combs freezing.
Vaseline is recommended after the
damage is done If the bird is found
with comb still frozen it should be
thawed out very slowly, using cold
water or snow. Apply the water with
cloth or the snow direct. When
thawed out anoint with yaseline. Often
the wattles will swell up like couple
of eggs and in this case they can be-
lanced to let out the collected serum
and relieve the birds.
