POULTRY AS A FARM MEAT
AandIest Form Of Quick Supply at
Any Time

Poultry supplies about the most con-
venient form of fresh meat for home
killing on the farm. taken the year
around, and is about Is per cent OF
tie total home killed meat on farms
Of the country.
Unexpected company usually get
some kind of poultry for dinner, but
Il poultry Is not available and the
iarder does not contain any other kind
OF meat, canned goods or vegetables
have to be resorted to for the menu,
for it is out of the question to rush
nut, catch, kill and dress a young
shoat, calf or lamb for dinner.
Farm women Rave become adept In
catching, dressing and cooking u
chicken in short time.
Leaving out of consideration me al
vantage of having poultry to supply
hurry UP dinners, It Is worth while for
the egg production, as there are no
other sources of eggs, nor Is there any
substitute for them which has been
generally accepted, even when prices
reach the topmost pinnacle in the
winter.
In view OF these advantagcs, It Is
surprising why so man. farms in this
country do not raise poultry.

:nem l per cent grain ration. There
Is no fixed rule governing the supple
mental grain ration which should be
ted in combination with forage. The
amount OF grain fed depends upon tbs
kind OF pasture used, the price Of
grain. and the market.
Pasture forage has variable com
position. Alfalfa, clover, vetch. and
peas furnish feed much richer in pro-
ttin than most other crops. Where
hogs are feeding on leguminous pas
ture they require less concentrated
feed than when grazing upon nonlegu-

clard grass, Bermuda, or bluegrass

temptation to place the hogs upon

more grain and more time to finish

The amount Of grain used will also
depend upon the length Of time the

IMPORTED TREE DISEASE.
Serious Outbreak OF the European
Poplar.Canker In the United States.

The pJplars Of this country are now
threatened by a dangerous fungous
disease which has evidently been I'M
ported In recent years from Europe.
This disease attacks the twigs, limbs,
and trunks OF the black and Lombardy
poplars (Populus nlgra) and OF the
Carolisa poplars or cottonwoods
(Populus deltoldes), and may be ex-
pected to attack other species Of
poplars and cottonwoods, in regions
not yet investigated. according to the
plant pathologists OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
This disease is caused by the fungus
Dothichlza populea. 1t appears first in
the form Of cankers or depressed dead
areas in the bark much in the same
manner as in case OF the blight OF
chestnut trees, which Is caused by a
distinctly different fungus. The effect
of the fungus on poplar and cotton.
wood trees is as follows Cankers are
formed in the point Of attack, spread
rapidly and often glrdle he twig, limb
or trunk At the point Of attack, killing
the part about the canker. Trees
attacked on the trunk become spike
topped The death oflmbs and twigs
gives the tree a ragged appearance

kills them, This is especially the case
with black popl6rs which are frequent.
