one run.
Grand Rapids has been on a batting
orgy for some time but the dose of
smoke balls and hooks served up by
Ainsworth promptly cured them. He
allowed only seven hits and passed
only one man.
Hit Opportunity.
Only five hits were made by the
Quakers but they pulled their little
stunt Of slapping out their bingles
when hits meant runs.
Paul Carpenter worked In the box
for Grand Rapids and he turned in a
well pitched game. He famed ten

DISPOSE OF THE
UNPROFITABLE hen
cullina Should Be Done Frequently
and Thoroughly.

After hens reach certain age, de-
pending upon the way they have
been handled, they can no longer pro-
duce eggs proftably. Those which
are forced for heavy egg production
by the liberal use of stimulants will
reach this stage quicker than the 9th
ers. Whenever this stage is reached
the mems should be marketed as soon
as possible.
A pretty safe rule to follow with
the average fiocks which have not
been treated with stimulants is as
follows: Dispose of hens of the light,
active breeds, such as Leghorns and
Anconas, as soon as they have passed
through their third laying season;
and dispose of all the medium weight
breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes and
Orpigntons as soon as they have pass
ed through two laying seasons. At
the same time, discard all younger
hens which have baggy abdomens,
which have a tendency to stay over
fat, or which lack health or vigor in
any way
The culling should be done fire.
quently and thoroughly. 1t rarerly
pays to hold an old or weak bird
for better market. The quicker
they are sold the better. The average
flock should he thoroughly culled at
least once a month. Such practice
will not materially reduce the output
of the flock, but, on the other hand,
will greatly increase the profits by
reducing the required amount of high
priced feed and labor.-A. F. Rolf

sion, Louisiana State University.

OATS YIELD WELL
FOLLOWING LEGUMES

Some examples of successful oat
production in different parts of Louis
lana where the crop was planted on
lands that had grown a leguminous
crop the previous summer are given
below. In each case the land was
broken to a depth of from six to ten
inches and then thoroughly diskeu
and narrowed.
In the Red River valley, near
Shreveport, a 40-acre field of oats
grown on land that had been in alfal-
ia for four years yielded 81 bushels
per acre. Two bushels of acclimated
Texas red-rust-proof oats per acre
were drilled October Is.
In the Ouachita River valley. near
Monroe, SO bushels of oats per acre
were produced on land that had been
in lespedeza. Two and one-half BUSH
els Of Louisiana red.rust-proof oats
per acre were drilled October IS.
On. tie Bayou Macon ridge 81
acres produced oats as follows: 20
acres that had been in lespedeza
were drilled to oats September 25 and
produced so bushels per acre; five
acres that had grown corn and peas
were planted to oats October 10 and
produced 80 bushels per acre; %
acres of cotton land were planted to
oats from October 10 to November l
and produced 25 bushels per acre.
A farm in one of the Delta parishes
produced 66 bushels per acre on land
that had grown cowpeas and 40 bush.
els on land without the peas. Two
or three bushels of oats per acre were
drilled early in October.-L. s. U.

"The sole reason for adopting tho

Department of Veterinary Science,

been found by experience and close
observation that the twenty-one day
period delays the final result. requir-
ing several seasons instead of one un-
der the fourteen-day method.
NATURALLY, work Of this kind re-
ouires some little inconvenience, but
IL Is q good cause, and We have to
make some sacrifices when the re-
suits to be attained are so farreach-
tng. And after all, it is much better
to be at the inconvenience Of dipping
cattle every fourteen days, Or fifteen
times season, and get rid Of the
ticks in one year, than to have to dip
them every twenty-one days, or ten
or eleven times a season, for two or
three or more years, with the extra
expense attached, before the work il
completed.
However, in order to finish the
work in one season, it will require
cooperative effort, not only on the
part of the federal government and
t1e state, but of stockmen, individual.
ly and collectively, as well, for
whose benefit the work has been In.
augurated and Is being carried on.
I'VE must realize that, in this mat.
ter, we are not only Louisianians, but
Americans, as the work of tick eradi.
