WHY NOT GROW PURE BRED
FOWLS ON EVERY FAINT
ROY II. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Stalion

Maryland poultry raisers make o
practice OF mixing their breeds They
use one male this year, get a male
bird Of an entirely different breed next
gear. another the year after. until
finally the flock gets to look as u Il had
been struck by lightning Nothing
could be worse for the poultry In,
dustry than this bit or miss breeding.
You get stronger. healthier fowls you
say. Let ns see why you do when
Won breed from two birds that are IN
any way related YOU Increase the
chances OF perpetuating any defect
which they may both have Being re-
lated the chances that they viii both
have the same defect are inoreaaed
when YOU cross two breeds or yarie
ties the chances OF breeding birds 10
gether both with the same defect or
fault are greatly diminished This
then Is the only plausible reason for
breeding mixed mongrei fiock lei,
US see what II costs us to do this. Let
US see how much We gain or loose in
the long run.
l. A good strain Of pure bred viii
lay more eggs.
g. Eggs from pure bred viii be
more uniform in size. shape and color.
8. A pure bred viii make better
appearance on the market.
4. The carcass OF pure bred will
make better appearance on the mar.
ket on account OF uniformity OF size,
shape and color.
s. Breeding stock OF pure bred
can often be sold TO advantage.
s. You cannot help but take pride
in pure bred flock and win give
them better attention.
Don't YOU really think that Il would
really pay 10 give little more care
to the selection OF breeding stock OF
some good breed. rather than keep on
with a flock that the word hash
would very nearly describe
BY selecting the strongest, most
vigorous and healthy birds for breed.
ing. YOU can keep flock In first class
condition. Instead Of perpetuatine
defects. you viii be making headway
In fixing and improving the desirable
qualities and in the meantime getting
the advantages that we enumerated as
belonging TO the pure bred flock.

PUREBRED STOCK IN DEMAND
When Pork Market Is Low Is Best
Time for Buying Breeding Stock
Hogs Are Cheap Now.

When hogs are high there is a big
demand for purebred stock Breeders
get more money because the pork
value Of their hogs makes them indie
pendent OF the cheap buyer and be.
cause the demand is sufficient to take
all their stock at good figures
When hogs are low the demand for
purebred stock falls of, and breeders
are compelled to sell II for less than
when market hogs are commanding
good prices
So when the pork market is low
when the demand isleast for breeding
stock, Is the best time to invest in
purebred hogs. Just now hogs are
cheap and breeders have a surplus for
sale at reasonable prices. And now is
the time to go to IT, and stock up
with purebred hogs
Don't wait till everybody wants
them. Get them now and be ready
with surplus of your own for the
time when everybody wants them.
That time VIII come as surely as
night follows day.

PLAN RAISING ALFALFA.
Two Questions Which Must Be
Answered in Affirmative.
Failure to lnocuIate the Soil - But
an Invitation to DISAPPOINTMENT
Value Of Ton u Hay Esti-
mated At s25.

Before the average farmer win
change his farm methods and try
raising alfalfa, there are two quea-
tions which must be answered IN the
Affirmative First is II practicala
Second, Is II proiltabIeg
The answer 70 the fifat il that all
soils which will produce red clover
win produce alfalfa, and such soils.
which by reason OF their sandy or
gravelIy character, are not we'll
adapted to red clover. viii produce al
falfa probably
There is smaller peseentage OF
failures from alfalfa properly sown
than from the red clover usually sown
The seed bed should be finely pre-
pared. and II should be remembered
that failure to inoculate the soil is but
an invitation to disappointment
The second question as 10 the
value OF alfalfa-is an interesting one.

HOW TO IMPROVE
OUR COUNTRY ROADS
VIII Be Main Subject Discussed BY
Road Men At the Agricultural
College, January 1915.
4. H. TALIAFERRO,
MARYLAND Agricultural College.

In many sections OF Maryland the
character Of country roads not only
precludes the ready movement Of farm
products during the winter and early
spring, but reduces 10 minimum so
cial intercourses between friends and
neighbors who under better conditions
Of travel would relieve the monosony
Of winter days BY Visits so pleasant TO
those fortunate enough to have 8 home
in rural community blessed with
good roads. For this reason, in plan
ming for short course and conference
on road making and maintenance, the
Division OF Engineering of the Agricul-
tural College has laid especial
emphasis ON the improvement Of the
country dirt road which may or may
not lead to the main thoroughfares SO
well constructed under the direction
Of the State Roads Commission In
addition. having in mind the many
perplexing problems which confront
the Roads Engineers In our counties,
one day in the week has been set
especially apart for free and full
discussion OF the county road prob
lem by Roads Engineers and Super
visors.
Among the most perplexlng Of road
problems. probably that Of financing
road construction and maintenance
without placing too heavy burden IN
the way Of special taxes stands Irst
and win be discussed with keenest In
terest BY our county commissioners
and their acknowledgements, To add 10
the information obtainabIa on this sub.

Plan Outlined to Determine Value Of
pralnaoe-Tiled Land Can BE

Al series Of very interesting expert
ments IN crop rotation were made sew.
eral years ago in Wisconsin, to deter.
Snine the value Of drainage. The fox
lowing plan was adopted:
IN the fail OF 1910 field contain
sna a little less than six acres was
HE'D, The land for the most part
was very wet and IN the natural con
dition timothy hay would not grow
on the greater part oft. Hedges grew
on at least half of the field. Another
field OF about the same area and pos
sessing about the same degree of nat
ural drainage, was used as check on
the tiled land. Exactly the same kind
Of crops were grown, and the same
treatment was given to the two fields
so far as possible. Surface drains
were provided in both cases This
land, both tiled and untitled, had been
in meadow for ten or twelve years and
consequently was in a poor state OF
fertility. This was especially true Of
the higher and better-drained parts.
The effect or draining was very
marked in 1911. due principally
to the fact that the tiled land could
be worked considerably earlier in the
spring, The differences ranged from
IS to 100 per cent in favor Of the tiled
land. In 1912 the effect OF thing was
not quite so marked, as the dry wealth.
err Of that year permitted Of better
drainage on the untitled land The lat
erals were placed about seventy feet
apart and were not laid In regular or
der. but more in the order OF what Is
sometimes called the natural" sys-
tenn of thing. The depth varied from
1S feet to S.5 feet.
On this land q four-year rotation
was established as follows: Glover,
