BREED FOR EARLY MATURITY
Leghorn PuIlet Laid First Egg in Four
Months and Fourteen Days From
Date Of Matching.

A single-comb White Leghorn pullet
that laid her first egg just four months
and Ia days from the date CT her
Matching is one of the results of breed
ing for early maturity obtained by the
College Of Agriculture, Ohio State Uni
versity. The usual age at which pull
lets begin laying is about ak months.
This extraordinary fowl was one Of a
group of 720 that we're Matched at the
same time. Five or six others from
this group began laying much earlier
than ordinary fowls, showing that it
pays to breed for early maturity. They
were from strain Of single-comb White
Leghorn, bred especially to develop
early laying, II may be interesting
to know just how this flock was fed.
From the first day of the sixth week
they received twice a day a grain ra-
ton of two pounds fine cracked corn
and three pounds cracked wheat. Up
until the twenty.arst day they also
received three times a day a moist
mash composed of four pounds rolled
oats, three pounds wheat middlings,
six pounds wheat bran, four pounds
sifted meat scraps. two pounds alfalfa
meal, one-fourth pound bone meal.
one-fourth pound fine charcoal. This
was mixed with skim milk or butter.
milk and fed in shallow trays.
From the sixth week to maturity
they received grain ration of two
pounds cracked corn and two pounds
whole wheat in open hoppers. From
the twenty-frst day to maturity they
received a mash composed OF one
pound rolled oats. one pound cornmeal,
one pound wheat middIings, two
pounds wheat bran. one pound sitted
meat scraps, half pound alfalfa meal,
two ounces fine charcoal. This was
fed dry in open hoppers. In addition
they were given green foods and grits.

SHARK PLAYS THE DENTIST

Front Tooth.

Savannah, Ga.-The shark common
ly known as the hog shark" in native
waters is now fully qualified as a
dentist, or, in other words, the big
fish pulled a molar in real approved
style. A local bank official was the
man who underwent the experience of
having his tooth whisked out of his
face. Here's the way it happened:
He is Mr.. P. F. Gleason of the Ger
mania bank force. He was In a launch
in Warsaw sound. While fishing he
placed the line in his mouth, holding
1t between his teeth. There was
sudden terrific tug as shark grasped
the bait, and the tooth, exactly in front
in the upper gum, was torn out.

BEWARE OF JOHNSON GRASS
All Fodder Plants Related IL Sorghum,
as Feed for Stock, Must Be Used
With Discretion.

CBy H GLOVER. Colorado Experiment
Statton)
Johnson grass is closely related to
sorghum. Poisoning of cattle from
sorghum and kanr corn is we'll known.
After chemical analysis Of many plants
Brunnich gave the following advice
All fodder plants related to sorghum
must be used with discretion in either
the green or dry state, and should not
be given in large amounts to animals
which have tasted for some time" The
poison in these plants is hydrocyanic
acid. Poisoning usually occurs when
the plants have made stunted growth
from drought and have been eaten in
large quantities when the animals are
very hungry.
Animals poisoned In this way usual
ly die within half an hour and some
times live only q few minutes. Hy-
drocyanic acid Is the most deadly Of
poisons and in large doses kills almost
instantly. Animals usually ole sud
denly from paralysis of respiration and
before remedial measures can be
thought OF. or prepared for use.

FOUNDATION or DAIRY HERD
Little Points, Seemingly Trivial, Go
Far Toward Making Success in
Breeding Fine Cattle.

We are all quite familiar with the
fact that the weak, bad points of both
plants and animals seem to be more
easily established in the young than
the strong characteristics. There
seems to be a natural tendency to
retrogression, or a cropping-out OF
the bad points in animals; and these
are the things which we desire to
guard against. Like begets like" is
a law of nature We expect the Off
spring to be like the parent This be-
ing the case, poor, lean, long, lank,
ill-shaped animal, possessing mean,
snarly disposition, will impart these
same characteristics TO his offspring.
In the same ratio that this is true
of the poor animal, which does not
adhere to any particular type, so 1t is
true Of the good, well-bred animal,
adhering closely to a fixed type and
possessing the characteristics of this
breed How often do you hear your
neighbor say: Johnny Jones should
be big, strong, ine-looking fellow,
for his father before him was one of
the best-looking men in the town"
The same is true of animals.
Since this is a fact, let us think for
a moment as to the sire we select
for our foundation What sort of sire
did this animal have? How long has
his family been known? How many
brothers and sisters has he, and what

PROMOTE GROWTH OF TREES
Thick, Compact Mulch of Straw win
Serve as Excellent Means of Con-
serving Moisture.

To protect trees from grass CT
weeds. make a thick, compact mulch
of straw or hay at their roots. 1t is
also excellent to retain moisture and
promote the growth OF the trees, It
should be five or six inches thick and
should extend two ,lr three feet out
from the tree. and should be packed
down firmly so as TO keep down tie
vegetation. After a few weeks Ber-
muda grass win creep through the
mulch. which can be checked by put
ting more hay on.
More hay should be added two or
three times during the growing sea
son. II the ground is dug up and pull
verified at the root OF the tree before
the hay mulch is put on. II it is heavy,
the mulch viii preserve the moisture
almost all summer.

which had been in the service of the
Kane grocery store in Alton for 80
years, died recently.
The horse was so we'll acquainted

EASY TO MAKE LOADER
viii Handle All the Hay Six Wag-
onS Can Bring In.
Device Shown in Illustration Has
Proved Quite Satisfactory to
Farmer Who Designed IT.
Keep the Now Ventilated.

A homemade loader can be easily
rugged up. An Illinois farmer has made
one which he thinks a great help. He
says this stacker when equipped with
fork and an active horse, will
handle all the hay six wagons can
bring in. The rope is fastened at the
top and bottom of strong, slanted
pole, and the fork hangs over the
center Of the stack. The wagon is
placed alongside the board sideways
and the fork used the same as in the
barn.
If the hay is to be stored in the
barn, you win need a steady team on
the wagon. The hayrack ought to be
about sixteen feet long and ten feet
wide. If you are good loader, boards
at the ends and sides viii not be nee
essary.
When you arrive at the barn with
a load, hitch steady horse on the
end Of the rope attached to the hay
fork, set the harpoon as deeply as
possible, and the horse will draw up
300 pounds in a twinkling.
When the hay has run along the
carrier to the point where it is to be
dropped. pull the whip-cord, and there
you are.
With bright boy to handle the
horse on the rope and an experienced
man on the load, it can be put into
the barn in ten minutes or less.
Always begin at the back end of the
NOW, or the end farthest from the
chute to the barn floor; because when
hay is put in in that way. it will come
cut easier when being fed.
1t is a good plan to place the hay
level in the NOW when it is being I'M
loaded. If you can get an extra man
to help, SO much the better; if not, do
the best you can between bites with
the fork, and keep the NOW as level as
possible.
Keep the now ventilated as long as
possible, always being careful to close
the doors and windows to keep out
transforms.
Although haying is probably the
hardest work done on the farm, there
is a satisfaction and Joy in seeing the
grass fall in symmetrical swaths over
the sickle bar and in reveling in it's
fragrance, while the hay is being
wrestled from the field to the barn and
into the COOL dark corners Of the NOW,
that comes with no other labor.
When beginning the haymaking do
not start the mower until the dew is
OF the grass. If cut while wet the
grass win require longer for the sun
to dry it than when standing.
Cut just what you can easily handle
in one-half day. The next afternoon
rake the hay into windows, and If
not thoroughly dry, better leave it
overnight.
In order to be perfectly sure that
hay is well cured on our fathers
farm, we always put 1t up into good
sized cocks and allowed it to remain

about two days. This second han
ding exposes all the damp hay to the
air and is swift in its curing.
Timothy hay may be baled directly
from the swath without much danger
of heating. although it is safer to have
the hay thoroughly cured before be-
ing baled. If hay is baled directly
from the swath 1t must be entirely
free from rain or dew, and this process
can be employed only under the best
of weather conditions.

good mother? II of a class of ami

or in litter, has he a twin brother,
or litter brothers? II so, how many?

and what records have they?
Now, these may seem at first to be
of little value, but without them upon
what can you base your estimates Of
future success as a breeder?
