FLY IS IDEAL ARRANGEMENT
Good Pair of Breeders VIII Raise Six or Seven Palrs in Year-Confne Flock to Prevent Any Seri-
 ous Damage

CPrepared by the United Statea Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 For food purposes pigeons are usually classed with poultry. Cultural ly they are in class by themselves, producing meat only, producing 1t very quickly, and able to produce we'll under conditions that do not ad- init of growing any other creature used for food.
 While the ideal arrangement for pigeons Is to have their house on the ground, and small covered yard, called "fy" connecting with it, pigeon keeping may be carried on quite extensively in upper rooms. or lofts, with or without open air fiys. Many fiocks of pigeons are kept in large cities in quarters provided for them in the lofts or on the roofs of buildings used for mercantile and manufacturing purposes.
 Space for Breeding.
 A space six feet square. and high enough for the attendant to stand erect, will accommodate eight to ten pairs of pigeons for squab breeding. The birds mate and begin breeding when six to seven months old. Two eggs are laid by the hen. Then the male shares with her the duty Of in- cubation. The young hatch in about seventeen days. At four weeks old, average good squabs will weigh about three-quarters of pound each. Some of the larger ones will weigh over a pound at that age.
 A good pair of breeders wifi pro- duce six or seven or more pairs of squads year. As many as eleven pairs of squabs have been produced by one pair in year. When produc- ton is high the female lays and be- gins incubation while she has young still in the nest, leaving the care of them to her mate.

Farm Notes

A flaming mill used consist ently will take most of the cheat out Of seed oats and wheat. Club together with your neighbors now and buy a flaming mill. It will not only help eliminate cheat but it will take the weed seed and trash out of the seed grain. Fan. hing mills are inexpensive and pay even when a small acreage is to be planted. Order right away.
 STAKE THE TOMATOES Tomatoes do better when staked. Drive stakes near the plants and tie so as to give the plants full support all the way up. Keep the grass and weeds down to conserve the moisture and give the sun chance. Bigger, clean CT and better fruit will be the result.

great deal of damage. especially on new-seeded ground.
 The remedy for this is to keep the pigeons under control. and use the young birds, except the few needed to keep up the flock. as fast as ready for the table. By establishing the flock of pigeons in an accessible place, giving them little food occasionally in their loft, and keeping them shut in and feeding them when they could damage new-seeded ground, a farm flock of pigeons can be made to con- tribute substantially to the meat sup ply, and stYl be prevented from doing any seriou3 damage.

We can there fore conserve the fruits now and add the sugar later. All fruits may be canned quite as spccess- fully without sugar.

Fruits used for desserts are exactly as good put up without sugar. Fruit juices put up without sugar for jelly are very satisfactory for then one can make up the jelly in the winter as desired and it is possible to combine different fruits which do not ripen at the same time.
 WORK FOR AUGUST
 Corn is laid by ip June and cotton the last of July or first of August, hence there is, usually no work doing on the farm in Au gust. A few farmers may pull fodder in that month tbut this is an undesirable practice and should be discontinued. What farm work can be done, there fore, in August? This is a good month in which to make improvements and re- pairs" says A. D. McNair, Az riculturist with the Office of Farm Management. Tt is also a good month in which to harvest peas for hay, provided one has been so thoughtful as to plant peas early enough to harvest in this month. Such pea stubble can also be disked in August, if the weather permits, in prepa ration for fall oats or wheat Corn. also, can be cut and shock ed in August and the stubble disked for winter grains. It is not desirable to crowd August too full of work because it is a hot month. but 1t should not be an idle month. Other kinds of work suitable to August will oc- cur to farmers wko desire to plan and perform their work with intelligence and efficiency"
