RAISE TURKEYS FOR PROFIT
creasino Number Of Fowls on
Farms In United States.

Turkey ranching is q new industry
born Of the decreasing production Of
turkeys on farms, according to an ar
ticle In the recently published 1915
Yearbook of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
Exclusive turkey ranching Is now
found practically only In the unsettled
foothill regions of California and in
certain sections of Arizona and other
Western states. In these regions few
persons are engaged in raising a thou
sand or more turkeys a season. The
establishments are located where the
range is unlimited and the natural food
Of the turkey, such as grasshoppers
and other insects, green vegetation,
and the seeds Of various weeds and
grasses, is abundant. Advantage also
is taken on these ranches of the tur-

these are plentiful out little grain need
be used for fattering in the fall.

aged much like herds Of sheep, being
taken out to the range early in the

night. They are herded during the day
by men either on foot or on horseback,
and by dogs especially trained for the

A Rumor Cure.

A rumor cure has been found by an
official in that part of Kent which is
peculiarly liable to German activities
People have brought to this official
all sorts Of stories and conjectures of
mysterious lights and acts of espion-
age by perfectly innocent people, and
great deal of time was wasted In
investigating them. Finally the man
hit on cure. Every person who
came to him with any story was given
paper and pencil and requested to
put 1t In writing, If you please, and
sign it, In most cases the imparter
OF secret information would balk at
this, and so none but stories with
some truth were brought to the Off
cfal. This custom Caught on" in the

SPORTING
WORLD
SOME HURLERS NOT AS
DANGEROUS AS THEY SEEM
Plank, for Instance, says Cobb, Seems
to Have Eye Glued to Runner, But
Cannot Stop Thefts.

Because a pitcher appears to be
looking at first base all the time, you
need not think that he is In position to
throw over there. Eddie Plank, for
example, seems to have his eye glued
to the runner on the initial station but
he cannot throw there unless he just
lobs the ball and he is therefore an
easy man to get lead on. Some other
men who do not seem to be paying
much attention to the runner really
are watching him out of the corner of
their eyes. Caldwell, Bender, Coombs,
Walsh and Shawkey are examples of
right-hand pitchers who are hard to
run bases against. Walter Johnson Is
tough one, too, because he gets the
ball away SO fast and throws with so
much speed that the catcher is ready
to peg before you are anywhere near
second base, says Ty Cobb, In the
American Boy.
Never slide headfrst. 1t Is danger
Gus to you. because the man covering
the bag is likely to step on you or

GREEN FEED FOR HENS
Sudan Grass Found to Be Salts
factory for Poultry.
No Other Summer Crop Can Take Its
Place in Poultry Yard-Young
Shoots Are Tender and Easily
Broken-Grows Rapidly.

(By r. N. HARVEY, Texas Agricultural
College.)
Sudan grass, although q new crop
is given a high place in the list of
green crops suitable for poultry. 1t
crop, but rapidly assumed other uses,
equal In importance to the first one.
Now, no other summer crop can take
its place inthe poultry yards. 1t would,
in fact, require a combination of sew
eral crops to give the satisfaction OBJ
tanned from crop Of Sudan grass.
AS forage crop 1t is excellent. The
young shoots are very tender and cas-
lily broken. AS in the case of other
grains the new shoots are preferred
to the larger leaves. Yet the low fiber
content renders the larger leaves brit
tie and much more available than the
leaves of most other forage crops of
the same age.
The rapidly with which this grass
grows is surprising. Few crops are
able to keep pace with it. 1t is almost
impossible for the fowls to keep the
grass short, and two or three cuttings
can be made during the season. The
hay makes good litter for the laying
house.
The rapid growth has another de-
cided and quite important advantage,
In keeping the fields free from weeds.
After the first cultivation, there should
be but few weeds found In the field.
The crop grows more rapidly than
most weeds, and the tops soon meet
above the rows, shutting out most of
the direct rays of the sun. Thus the
weeds are checked, and it is not so
difficult to keep them cut away.
A point not to be overlooked is the
shade furnished by the grass. 1t is
not uncommon to find whole flock in
the shelter Of the Stdan grass, while
none can be found under the trees. A
small stand left uncut will furnish
enough shelter for the ordinary sized
flock. A white hen within a foot of
the border Of the standing crop can
scarcely be seen by a person 10 feet
away. Few II any plants are superior
to Sudan grass as shade producers.
The relative feeding value of Sudan
grass for poultry has not been deter
mined, but all indications tend to show
that it is n welcome addition to the
pasture crops for poultry.
