GOOD CHRISTMAS MOTTO.

Peace on earth, and good will

and the Christmas spirit should
ring in our hearts and find a kind

What a joyful thing for the world

of peace and good will could abide
with us all every day of the year
And what a beautiful place this
place would be to live it. And it
might be so if each one of us would
resolve in our hearts that peace and
good will should be our motto
every day, and that We, individual

Christmas spirit last all the year

MOST VALUABLE FARM CROPS
Trouble Experienced In Growing C'o'
yer, Alfalfa, Peas, ETC., where
Not Grown Before.

Legume crops Glover, alfalfa, peas
etc. are among the most valuable OF
farm crops. Trouble is experienced
at times, however, in growing them
in new agricultural districts or re-
gions where legumes have not been
grown before. This difficulty Outlines
is due to the absence of the necessary
tubercle bacteria from the soil IN
question. The practice should be FOL
lowed, therefore, Of inocuIating the
soil or seed when any of these crops
are grown upon ground which has
never grown the crop before.
This incubation may be made by
the use of soil from field in which
the legume has grown. This SOIL
should be obtained from the old
legume field and distributed over the
field to be sown in legumes at the
rate of approximately 300 pounds per
acre, and at once narrowed or disked
in. This operation should take place
during the morning or evening or
upon a cloudy day, as the intense sun
light destroys the bacteria. Care
should be exercised in making this
transfer of soil to get 1t from fields
which are not infested with weeds.
Should such soil not be available,
DR.. Ira D. Cardiff, director and bot
anist of the Washington agricultural
experiment station, states that the
next best method of procedure is to
use a pure culture of bacteria which
may be mixed with the seed before 1t
Is sown.

ner as public thoroughfares, which
carry much greater traffic, in general
would be a useless waste of money.
The first consideration is the loca'
ton of the roads and paths about the
farm. The roads and paths are a
part Of the permanent farm plant.
Consequently they should be so 10
Gated as to best serve the purpose for
which they are intended, should fit in
with the general scheme Of the farm,
and at the same time should avoid as
much as possible places which would
require difficult and expensive con.
struction or maintenance. The main
consideration, however, must be to
secure the highest degree of efficiency
from the farm plant as whole.
The earth road is the most common
type Of farm road and will probably so
remain. When properly crowned,
drained and maintained with the split.
log drag or other similar device, the

tional soils or in a few places imme'

quirements fairly well. A little grad
Ing will in general give the earth road

ward the side bitches at a rate of
about one inch to the foot, and side
bitches of sufficient size to carry away
the storm water can usually be con-
structed without difficulty. II the
ground is springy the side bitches may
be made deeper, or the ground water
may be carried away by tile drains.
The fundamental requirement of an
earth road is always good drainage.
This involves, first, the removal of the
water which reaches the surface OF
the road from precipitation or other.
wise: and second, in certain places the
removal Of any ground water which
reaches the road from underground
seepage. Surface drainage Is accom-
plished by securing reasonably firm
crowned roadway and providing
bitches Of sufficient size and with am
pie grade and frequent outlets. Sub
drainage to remove the water from
beneath the road, surface or to pre-
vent its passage into the roadbed Is
usually accomplished most effectively
by so-called blind drains or by means
of properly located tile drains.

White Runt Female.

variety. The habit Of this bird Of
returning home If allowed freedom
makes it necessary to confine pigeons
purchased from other lofts. The
Carneaux pigeon has recently become
popular as a squad producer. This
variety Is somewhat larger than the
Homer and it is stated Is about as
prolific. Several other varieties of
pigeons larger than the Homer are
used on a small scale in squad raising,
especially in crossing with the Homer
and Carneaux to increase the size Of
squads. The Runt is one Of the largest
but is not as prolific or as good a
breeder or feeder as the Homer.
Some Of the other varieties reported
used as squad breeders are the Ora
coon, White Maltese or hen pigeon,
the White King and common pigeon.
Good breeding stock is an essential
OF success in squad raising, but as 1t is
difficult to tell the age and sex of
pigeons, and age is very important,
it is necessary to buy from reliable
breeders and preferably those who
guarantee their product. Variety
alone does not insure successful squad
production. The birds differ indi-
vidually and they should be selected
for their productive power and vitality,
for quality and size of their squads
and their ability to feed and rear
offspring. Dark-colored skins, legs or
beak indicate poor quality of flesh,
bringing lower prices on markets.
Care should be taken to select breed
ing birds which have white or pinkish
white skin and light-colored legs.
Pigeons are most valuable as squad
producers when from two to six years
Of age, although many will breed un-
til they are about eight years old. The
small varieties mate and breed at FIVE
to six months, and the large varieties
at eight to nine months. 1t is advis-
able, therefore, to buy mated pigeons
from two to three years old, or to se-
cure young birds six to eight weeks
old and tame them at the proper age.
All squads which are to be saved for
breeding should be banded before they
leave the nest and a careful record
kept of their breeding. Squads Matched
