Germany Now Vast Truck Farm.

New York. July 12.-Germany is one
immense truck farm, writes a corre-
spondent from Berlin. Not in the en-
tire history Of the empire has there
been such a reversion to agriculture.
The casual visitor to Germany leaves
with the impression that there are un-
usual numbers of young men still in
civil life. This impression fades once
one gets into the country. 1t is the
exception to see men working in the
fields.
In their places arc large numbers of
women and boys. In place of horses
one sees oXen and even milk COWS at
tached to plows, harrows and wagons.
So keen has the agricultural contest
become that plots of ground that for
merl.y went to waste are now being
prepared for gardens. For miles and
miles in central and southern Ger
many miniature truck gardens have
been formed ever between the tracks
of the railroads.
The approach to every city Of any
size in the land is heralded by acres
of tiny gardens. To maintain at least
a small plot Of ground has become al
most a patriotic duty.

Things the Farmer Likes to Know
BEST LAYING BREEDS.

Rather Than Variety Of Fowl,

Egg Production Depends on the Strain
Rather Than Variety Of Fowl.
Raise White Leghorns for eggs and
you can't so wrong" is the substance
of common poultry advice given the
beginner. Such speech is responsible
for many a poultry failure.
The White Leghorn breed is a good
one. Let's not forget that. The aver
age White Leghorn hen does we'll, but
Just because Il hen is a White Leghorn
is not a sign that she will be a good
layer.
Take the records for any month in
any egg laying contest and you will
find poor Leghorns even among the spe-
cially selected competing pens. Last
August, for example. the best pen Of
the hens in the White Leghorn con-
test at Mountain Grove. Mo-, averaged
21.4 eggs per hen, while the poorest
pen laid 9.6 eggs per hen, less than
half as many.
Some of the Leghorn pens We're en-
tirely outclassed by average pens Of
Buff Wyandottes, Black Orpingtons,
Black Langshans, Anconas, Minorcas
and other breeds that are not often
considered in the same class with the
White Leghorns as layers.
This is a fair example Of the many
cases where certain strains of the diff
ferent breeds have qualities superior
or inferior to the average for the
breed.
A strain is simply a line of descent
that has specially developed charac-
teristics, such as the ability to lay eggs
a%bundantly. Good care and feeding
are taken for granted.-Farm and

Club Of Government Workers.

Washington, July 12.-The national
capital will soon have one of the big
gest clubs and one OF the biggest club
houses in the world if Franklin X.
Lane, secretary of the interior, carries
out his plan. Indications are that he
will. He has a committee of three at
work, and it is meeting with much
success.
The secretary's plans call for the
formation in one big club of the $4,000
government employees here. He hopes
to erect u clubhouse occupying Il whole
block.
1t Is not alone the social end that
Secretary Lane has in mind. He plans
to look after physical needs also. He
proposes to establish Il chain of coop
erative stores in Washington where
the government clerks can purchase
their food, clothing and other neces-
saries of life at a cost very much be-
low that which now prevails.
Secretary Lane is an enthusiastic adj
herent OF the cooperative plan. 1t is
used successfully in the reclamation
service of the interior department. and
on a more or less limited scale in the
Home club, of which the secretary is
founder and president.
The Home club will be the nucleus
of the new organization. 1t occupies
the old Brazilian embassy, in Jackson
place, but it's membership has grown
SO fast that, although this house is one
of the most c~ommodious in the city, it
is almost impossible to care for its

an ornamental pediment and six Win

UNIFORMITY IN WOOL.
Carc|essness In Handling FIeeces a
Source Of Loss.

Source Of Loss.
Government experts say that i'm
proper methods of preparing wool for
shipment cost the farmer 1 to 5 cents a
pound, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
They claim that manufacturers are
frequently put to extra expense in cor
recting this loss, and if farmers and
manufacturers We're aware Of each
others difficulty this loss might be pre-
vented. The manufacturer protects
himself against loss by lowering the
price. One reason why Australian wool
sells for better prices in this country is
because Australian producers seek to
learn what manufacturers want and
try to prepare the fleece so as to meet
that want.
Some Of the things to be done in
handling wool are the following: Sack
lamb, eve, wether and buck wool or
very early fleeces separately. Shear all
black sheep at one time and put the
wool in separate sacks. Remove and
sack separately all tags and her allow
no tag discount from the clip as a
whole. Use a separate light, hard,
glazed, preferably paper Irvine. Sc
curely knot the string on each fleece.
Turn sacks wrong side out and shake

dried at all times. Make the brands on
the sheep small.

Cows Susceptible to BIoat.

4 pregnant COW IS more susceptible
to injury from irritating causes than
a COY that has calvcd. She should be
carefully fed, and one should
avoid giving her any feed likely to
cause bloating. \ trocar and cannula
should be kept on hand to tap the
paunch of a badly bloated COW where
this is found necessary to save life.

stand. and where the insects are
numerous it is quite customary to SOW
three or four times the normal amount
of seed as a protection against its raw
ages. Although wireworms do most of
this damage while mere grubs measur-
Ing from half an inch to three inches
In length, they are more readily recog-
nized as adult beetles, which in some
localities are known as "click Beetles"
''skip jacks,' Swapping beetles" etc.
A number of birds are known to feed
on wireworms and these are probably
the most important factor in keeping
down the pest. Among these birds are
the bobwhite, flicker, mourning dove,
ruffed grouse, crow, w~hippoorwill
California quail, cowbird and bobolink.
Cuckoos, woodpeckers, blackbirds,
orioles, sparrows, Jays and certain
kinds of hawks are also useful in this
way.
Where the wireworms are too nu-
merous to be effectively checked by
birds the only remedies which have
been found effective are cultural meth
DDS. Attempts to kill the adult beetle
by poisoning, drying the seed to pre-
vent its being eaten by the insect, or
the introduction of poisonous sub
stances into the soil have all been
found decidedly unsatisfactory.
A thorough preparation of the corn
seed bed and a liberal use of barnyard
or other fertilizer will often
rocu)t in a fair stand of cOrn 6nSnitn
the wireworms, for a vigorous plant
may be able to produce roots enough
to withstand the attack of this enemy.

that crossed the Atlantic. The steam-

On May 20, 1919, she sailed for Liv.

A New Use For tho Manure spreader.

4 AA1p "
the United States department of agri-
culture, will enable the farmer to use
his manur spreader when desirable
as a wagon for bringing in root crops
intended for stock feed. The cylinder
or sprcader is first removed from the
end of the box and Il suitable end
board set in place and held by an iron
bar or rod. At the door of the root
cellar the end board can be readily
lifted out and the crank which con-
meets with the apron shift put on. The
roots can then be readily rolled through
the door by turning the crank by hand.
In this way the load can be delivered
in a few moments.
The advantages of this scheme are
obvious, for under ordinary circum-
stances the n sprcader is idle
while the harvest is in progress.

DAIRY WISDOM.

To have your COWS milk long,
milk them clean.
} Uneven sailing and working
make streaky butter.
To feed economically. COWS
should be fed as individuals, not
as a herd.
Cream that is being ripened
should be strained several times
before it is ready for churning.
The desired or standard color
for butter is that natural color
usually secured when fresh cows
are grazing on fresh green pas
lures.
Milk from healthy cows is
practically free from bacteria
when secreted. The problem of
a sanitary milk supply, therefore,
is to keep out all bacteria as far
as is possible.
