SECURE YELLOW-YOLKED EGG
Poultry Department of Iowa State Col
lege Tells Secret-Feed Corn
With Clipped Alfalfa.

Eggs with a richly colored golden
golk. from a market standpoint, are
more desirable than the pale-yolked
variety. Due to lack of green range
feed in the winter, such eggs are not
normally laid during cold weather. To
produce them, though, is quite sim
pie matter If you know how. The
poultry department of the Iowa State
college tells the secret.
Yellow corn with clipped alfalfa or
sprouted oats are winter feeds that
put the color in the yolk Stemmy al
falfa will not do. as it is too coarse
and contains too much fiber The al
falfa must be leafy. Alfalfa or clover
sweepings from the hay NOW make an
excellent winter poultry feed. To keep
the hens from scratching it about
rack or box may be provided. covered
with coarse mesh poultry wire through
which the birds may pick the leaves.
The fact that green feeds produce
the desirable yellow-yolked eggs is
an advantage of only secondary inn
portance. The fact that they furnish
food elements not to be had otherwise,
and that are very much needed at this
season of the year, Is of far greater
The green feed is a nee
essary item to stimulate the general
health of the fowls, as well as their
laying ability. during the winter

LOOK TO THE VACANT LOT
A Little Cleaning Up of the Space
Now Will Result in Profit IN
the Future.

Owners of unimproved property III
this city who wish to sell it shouia
take heed of a suggestion that comes
from Minneapolis, where the matter
has been under practical consldera-
ton. This is that any lot of grouha
offered for sale has better chance
of finding a market if it is kept IN at
tractive order than if neglected ana
allowed to present an unkempt, unat-
traetive appearance. OF course, as
mere building site, 1t makes no dlI-
ference to a prospective purchaser
whether lot is neatly tufted or is
veritable dump laden with trash.
Building operations are not deferred
by refuse. But there is something
psychological in the appeal of we'll
kept vacant lot that gives it pulling
power" over a trash-eovered, weed.
grown, unsightly place.
The cumulative effect of well-tended
vacant properties reaching to stand
ard of orderliness throughout the city
is unmistakable. Every real estate
owner with property of this character
to sell is interested in attracting the
attention of buyers from outside. Such
buyers are more surely drawn to a
city that presents no unlovely aspects
than to one that is peppered with eye
sores.
The cost of keeping vacant lot in
order is slight and it should be reck.
oned by the owner as part of the over.
head charge, along with the interest.
1t has been suggested that this cost
may be added to the price of the prop
erty when it is sold. However it is
borne, whether by the owner or the
ultimate purchaser, it is good in
vestment. 1t makes for quicker sales
and meanwhile for more attractive
city, which in itself is an asset shared
by every owner of property.
This is the season to consider this
question. Already the preparations
for park work are under way. The
ground in the public reservations is
being raked, trash is being hauled
away. and in few weeks the city will
be blossoming. Every owner of va
cant lot should consider his bit OF
ground as part of the city's park sys
tenn and put it in order just as care
fully as the tree-grown spaces under
the care OF the government are
gr0omed for the season. The house
holders are expected to keep their
front parkings and lawns up to a
certain standard of neatness, and sure
ly those who own land on which there
are no improvements should be under
the same obligation. = Washington

Have Garden.


Begin now to think of that little
garden in the back yard, everybody
who has a back yard Such modest
enterprise has much to do to restore
the harmony of life. If you don't get
radish, tomato, bean or a mess of
peas, you will get something greater
pure air, sunshine, exercise and COM
partnership with nature, which are a
richer crop than all the truck in the
garden. 1t is a great thing to watch
things grow. They make man
grow, too; add health and
strength to every part of his body;
give him a clean conscience; make
him love his wife and enjoy her
Victuals. Tending a little garden
makes a good citizen out of a man.
gives him better thoughts; makes him
kindlier to his neighbors, and gives a
gentler accent to his voice. And then,
If he should raise anything in the gar
den, how happy he is to gather 1t and
take it into the kitchen and lay it on
the table, saying to his wife: These
are some of our own raising; amt
they fine?" That's life-grander than

GATHERING UP ALL VERMIN

Chickens are very subject to several
kinds of vermin, which must be kept
down in a measure, or they get so nu-
merous that the birds peace of mind
is so greatly disturbed that it inter
feres with the birds egg-laying pro-
pensities. A new invention is shown
herewith by which it is designed to
keep down the numbers of the pest by
catching them in trap, which is COM
bined with the roost on which the
birds sleep. The habits of the chicken
lice and other pests of this character
is to get at the birds while they are
roosting, and they attack the birds in
such numbers that its health is seri-
ously interfered with. After sucking
the birds blood the insects return to

Value of Flower Shows.

Preparations are already under way
for flower shows, and it is pertinent
to ask, What is the permanent value
to those who attend?" Mere attrac-
tons will not permanently endure
with any considerable measure of sue
cess. They must educate as well. In
order to interest you must instruct.
All love best what they know most
about. The more one is instructed in
horticulture the greater will be his
appreciation of plants and flowers.

information regarding fundamental
knowledge. Every attendant should
be a mine of information regarding
