CONDITIONER
(Rudbeckia)

Many Of the rudbeckias are hardy
and perennial, but they may be treated
as ANIMALS. The flowers are quite
snowy and usually have yellow rays,
though some are crimson and others
more or less covered with brown to-
ward the base. The rudbeckias are Of
very easy cultivation, thriving In al
most any soil and climate. NJ of
them prefer a moist soil, but will thrive
In the garden under ordinary cultiva-
ton. Rudbeckia hirta-the black-eyed
Susans, or "nigger-heads." as they are
called-will thrive In the
hottest and dryest situations. Rud-
bekia triloba, biennial, perpetuates
itself through self-sown plants. The
triloba may be used quite effectively
as border to large bed of delphini-
ums, or as a screen, as 1t forms a dense
bush between three and four feet high.

FOUR O'CLOCK
(MirabiIis jalapa)

The mirabilis, sometimes called the
Marvel of Peru" is normally a peren-
NAL in it's native region, the warmer
parts Of America, but under garden
culture 1t gives satisfactory results
when treated as an annual. The seed
may be sown In the early spring under
glass and the plants set out in May.
The four-O'clock is often used as a
screen with good results. The colored
part Of the flower, which Is white.
various shades of red, and striped, Is
the calyx, drawn out in the semblance
Of cOrOiia and surrounded at the
base by leafy invOlucre. In some
cases, as in Mirabilis jalapa, only one
flower Is borne on an invOlucre.
The plant is quick-grOwing, erect,

MEAT NEEDED FOR CHICKENS
~ 80 .y D. -ytasthino 10 Take Il
tar tface Of insects.

Fowls confined in close pens, yards
or runs where they have little chance
to get insects will need some kind Of
meat. Grain will not supply enough
protein and mineral matter for best
results.
To supply this demand for protein
and mineral matter meat meal, meat
scrap or tankage is generally fed. Lay
Ing hens especially need some Of these
forms of feed. Young chickens will
thrive better If fed meat in some form
occasionally.
The best way to feed meat meal or
meat scrap Is to mix 1t with wheat,
bran, rice bran, cornmeal, corn chops
or shorts. The mash should not be
very wet and sloppy, but should be
moist enough to adhere and thus save
waste of the fine particles of meat.
Many poultry feeders feed meat
meal mash once a day, usually In the
others give two or three
feeds of this mash week.

g. The average Leghorn pulet.
twenty-four weeks old and ready to
lay. weighed 2.75 pounds.
7. The feed was by far the most
expensive item In the cost of rearing
chicks.
8. On the basis OF a hundred chicks
Matched and II per cent mortality,
the per cent of pullets was 40.1 ana
the per cent of cockerels 429 per
cent.
9. The time of Matching greatly In
fiuences the rate of growth of the
chicks, the price of br0ilers, the net
cost of growing, and the weight or
pullets at laying age. Early Matching
paid best.
10. Early cockerels were sold at
profit. May-hatched broilers sold ut
loss.
II. The gross average cost OF pull
let was 43.4 cents. This, less profits
in cockerels. made the net cost 3S.l
cents.
II. Mortality varied and influenced
the final cost. The average mortality
of 800 chicks was II per cent.
IL. For every pullet reared, 1t re-
quired the setting of 4.57 eggs.
