shooting. the event that marks the eli
max In the trapshooter's career, was
won by Capt. ]. F. Wulf. of Milwau-
kee, with the wonderful score of 99x1O0

great win he shot Winchester RE
peater' loaded shells.

CARE OF INCUBATOR CHICKS
Favorable Temperature and Bits Of

Did you ever think that an incu-
bator incubates disease germs as well
as chicks? The favorable tempera-
ture. bits of shell. and moisture from
the Matching chicks are just adapted
to help germs Of disease to develop
and multiply when they gain access
to the incubator. Always wash the

hator throughout after every hatch.

of 30 per cent of the first cutting Of al
falfa and a total loss Of the second
cutting.
In order that farmers in those Sec
tons In which the weevil has not yet
appeared may be able to recognize
the pest and to protect their crops
from it, the bulletin already mentioned
contains details of its habits and of
its appearance in the various life
stages. The weevil is most easily dis
covered in the form of the full-grown
larva. 1t is then a green wormlike
creature one-fOurth of an inch long
with black head and a faint white
stripe down the middle Of the back.
1t feeds upon the leaves of the alfalfa
mainly during late May, June and early
July and may be found by sweeping
the tops of the plants with an insect
net or by looking for the notches in
the leaves where it has fed. When
the larvae are numerous they destroy
thu. tops to appear white, making the
field look as if frOstbitten when
viewed from a distance.
The adult insect is an oval, brown
beetle three-sixteenths of an inch long,
with prominent snout. Its color fire.
quently is nearly black. This beetle is
harder to discover than the larva, but,
on the other hand, it is present in the
field the whole year around. In winter
1t can be found by digging around the
crowns and roots of alfalfa plants.
Control Measures.
The alfalfa weevil does not hiber-
nate definitely. When the weather is
cool the adults are quiet, but with
warmer temperatures they quickly re-
sumo their activities. Egg laying be-
gins in early spring. and Is usually
ended by June 10. One efficaciOus
method of controlling the pest. there
fore. is to destroy the eggs by pas
turing the first crop up to that time.
A similar result may be obtained by
cutting the alfalfa green and feeding
it as soiling crop.
II this is not done the larvae hatch
In large numbers about the last week
of May or earlier. and eat the alfalfa
leaves SO rapidly that the plant Is I'M
able to Outgrow the injury. After the
field is cut the larvae which have been
feeding upon the first crop gather
upon the buds of the stVSble and fire.
Quently consume all of the second
crop. BY that time most of the insects
have completed their growing period
and have gone into the pupal or rest
ing stage. The later growth of the
crop, therefore. does not suffer from
them.
To protect the crop pasturing, IL

part of the season. The field should
be divided into two or three lots and
each lot should be pastured alternate

Difficult, Problem on Many Hog

"a
Providing plentiful supply of pure
water is a difficult problem on many
hog farms during the summer A run
ming stream in the yard is very desir-
able, provided there is no danger from
contamination upstream. Under no
circumstances should hogs be kept in
yards or pastures that contain large
stream that flows through other hog
yards or pastures upstream.
In supplying drinking water for the
animals, care should be taken to keep
the supply clean and wholesome. There
are several ingenious devices which
are. cheap and efficient. These may
be attached toa pipe line or to a stock
tank or barrel. They are fitted with
float which regulates the supply of
water in the drinking vessel. The
drinking vessel is small, and does not
admit of the hogs getting their feet in
to it. If a barrel is used it is advisable
to add a small handful of lime to the
water, to prevent it becoming stagnant
when heated by the sun. Foul water
is unfit for hogs, and makes them sus-
ceptible to infectious and contagious
diseases and ailments.

PROFIT IN FARMING
FIGURED BY YIELD
True Measure of Production Is
Net Profit Per Acre Rather
Than Gross Yield.

- -
Yield per acre is usually taken as
the measure of profitable production In
farming. A low yield means a small
profit or a loss and high yield means
large profit, But this is not neces-
sarily true, as the cost of production
may be out of proportion to the value
Of the bumper crop. For example.
Europe produces high yields per acre
but small profits per man. The meas
ure of good farming in America is
profit per man rather than yield per
acre. As the yield per acre is in
creased beyond a certain normal, the
cost per bushel, on the average, VIII

cases on during abort periedsS of time
