prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Timothy cut just as 1t Is coming into
full bloom is much harder to cure
than when cut with the seed in the
dough stage or nearly ripe. When cut
early 1t contains larger percentage
Of moisture than when cut later, and
consequently must remain longer in
the swath and windrow and run great
er risk Of being injured by rain. For
this reason many hay growers prefer
to wait until the hay can be cut and
hauled In the same day. Also If cut
after the blooming period 1t will yield
more to the acre by weight than when
cut in full bloom, but the feeding
value decreases quite rapidly after the
plant is in full bloom.
1t has been found that the yield
of q timothy crop coming into bloom
was 3,411 pounds of dry matter to
the acre; the yield at full bloom was
5,433 pounds; the yield when seed was

standing the unfavorable conditions
which always accompany the range
system of farming. Hereford bulls,
as well as those Of the Shorthorn
breed, when crossed with the native
cows of the South and Southwest,
have produced good grade calves.
The Aberdeen-Angus is not as large
as the Hereford or Shorthorn, but does
not fall far short of the weights
reached by the two larger breeds. The
cows are usually fair mixers. This
breed is vigorous and has remarkable
rustling ability well suited to range
conditions and Is therefore well adapt
ed to the South.
The Galloway breed has never been
extensively introduced into the South.
A few herds, however. are found in
Texas. The animals Of this breed are
extremely hardy and are well suited
to the ranges Of the Northwest, where
food may be scarce and where winters
are severe.
Red PoIled Breed.
The Red P0lled breed represents the
dual-purpose type In Its true form, as
the typical cows yield milk literally
and fatten quickly and satisfactorily
when dry. This breed Is well suited
to the South, and southern farmer
who wants COW that will yield good
flow Of milk and at the same time
raise calf which Is acceptable from
the beef standpoint will not make
mistake by selecting the Red Polled
cattle. They are hardy generally and
reasonably good grazing animals.
Cattle of the Devon breed are won
derful rustlers, and will keep In good
condition on pastures where other beef
animals could hardly subsist. In some
sections Of the South the Devons have
become popular because Of their
ability for grazing during the summer
months and making use Of the rough
feeds and native grasses during the
winter. They are quick, intelligent,
attain good size (though their growth
is little slower than other beef
breeds) and stand the heat well. For
these reasons they are exceedingly
popular In the timber sections and the
lumber camps of the South. There is
no breed which make work oxen su-
perior to the Devon.

formed was 5,793 pounds; the yield
when seed was In the dough, $3.50
pounds, and when the seed was ripe
the yield was 5,193 pounds per acre.
From this and other experiments Il
will be seen that the dry matter in
creases up to the time the seed Is In
the dough, after which 1t decreases.
The protein content when coming
into bloom was 26O.9 pounds per acre;
was greatest (292.6 pounds) when the
plant was in full bloom, and decreased
from the time of full bloom until the
seed was ripe, when 1t amounted to
21S.6 pounds per acre.
From this 1t will be seen that the
greatest feeding value is secured II
the hay Is cut at about the time the
plant Is In full bloom. The yield per
acre Is somewhat greater If the hay Is
cut after full bloom, but the gain In
feeding value and grade, as indicated
by color, when cut at full bloom,
more than offsets the value Of the gain
In weight per acre when cut later.

perfectly good fresh egg shows "full'

almost no air cell at the large end,

So far as perlodicity Of outbreaks is
concerned, the real locust or grass
hopper Is law unto itself. The hordes
may appear any years or not ut all,
Tie hordes of the "17-year locust" or
periodical cicada appear with regu4
Iarity that would almost put to shame
a government clock In spite of their
extremely slow development under
ground, the multiplied millions Of in
divlduals reach maturity and emerge
almost ut the same moment and ex-
actly II years from the date Of the
previous appearance-that Is, II they
are Of the 17-year race. There Is 13-
year race of the periodical cicada. But
1t is just as regular, just as exactly on
schedule, as the other one.
Real Locust a Nomad.
The real locust is sort Of nomadic
militant. It's hordes, like those of Atil-
la the Hun or Of Genghis Khan, sweep
hither and yon, always on the move,
destroying as they go. The so-called
17-year locust or cicada Is home
body. Stevenson's lovable character,
"Will O. the MILL" did not stick so
closely to his birthplace as does tho
periodical cicada. Literally, he abides
always "under his own vine and hG
tree" The tree from which any in
dividual cicada dropped as newly:
hatched larva II years ago is the ex-,
act tree under which he will emerge
this spring. up which he will most
likely crawl to cast his pupal skin, and
in which he will meet his mate and
sing his love song, In which he Will
pass his days of decrepitude, and from
which. in few weeks, his dead body
will fall, almost upon the spot where
he-as a larva-fell II years before
and burrowed into the ground. Where
the periodical cicada came into exist
ence, there he spends his days and
dies.
Injury by Insects.
Every crop suffers from the ravages
Of the real locust. Only trees suffer
at all from the 17-year locust, and
only very young fruit and ornamental
trees are likely to be severely injured.
Methods of preventing or minimizing
this loss have been worked out and
published by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
The insect itself can accomplish
comma ra tively little damage but fear
Of the insect may accomplish great
deal, particularly II 1t is based upon
confusion of the cicada-locust with
the grasshopper-locust Men. believing
that the grasshoppers are to eat up
their crops this spring, might refrain
from planting certain things. II Is
important, therefore, that the confu-
sion be cleared up, that It be definitely

year locust in 1919" means the periodi-
cal clcada and not hordes Of grass
hoppers.

This Is "locust year." and the
usual popular fear and misapprehen-
sion attend.
People In that large part Of the
United States over which the periodi-
cal cicada will appear are disposed,
as always, to apprehend greater dam
age than will occur-many times
greater. OF the remainder of the
United States, large sections are under
another misrepresentation, which is that
the insect about to appear is the real
locust that sometimes comes In dew
astating hordes, sweeping across
large sections of country and devour-
Ing every green thing. The latter mis-
apprehension is, perhaps, the more
widespread and dlsquleting, according
to entomologists of the United States
department Of agriculture. People who
have had experience with the real 10
Gust and the ruin 1t works never forget,
and the word locust" even though
1t be a misnomer, is likely to be a
signal for dread.
Now, the periodical cicada, COM
monty called the 17-year locust-the
} insect that will appear In q states
this spring-is not locust at all. 1t
Is cicada, member Of the family Of
cicadldae and akin to the dog-day
cicada, harvest fly, or dry-weather fly.
The real locust-the devastating kind
lis a grasshopper.
The periodical cicada, miscalled To-
Gust, is strictly an American insect.
The real locust, commonly called grass
hopper, occurs In many parts of the
world and has had its place In history
for thousands Of years. There are
many species. The schistocerca pere-
grina is the one that plagued the Egyp-
tians and probably the one on which
John the Baptist fed. The one that
has sometimes ravaged the great plains
and other sections of the United States
Is the melanoplus spretus, a related
species.
Nave Little In Common.
The real locust or grasshopper and
the so-called locust or periodical cicada
have very little in common-nothing,
in fact, except that both occur In large
numbers and both occasionally have
been used as human food, the former
mostly by certain peoples of the near
East and the latter by the American
Indians.
The real locust is an indiscriminate
eater, grain fields, corn fields, mead
ows, pastures, weed patches-every-
thing falls before him. The periodical
cicada or so-called locust is dainty al
most beyond belief. 1t was long be-
lieved that this insect In the adult
stage took no nourishment at all. On
rare occasions 1t had been observed
with Its beak apparently thrust into
twigs, but 1t was not until II years
ago, the last previous appearance Of
the large brood that comes out this
year, that 1t was definitely determined
that this belief was erroneous. The
"17-year locust" does eat while In the
adult stage, but its diet Is confined to

Particularly Good.

prepared by the United States Depart

Lice by day and mites by night fur
nish the unhappy condition Of poultry
kept under insanitary surroundings.
Treatments for lice are not effective
for mites because the latter work only
at night, making raids on the fowls
from their hiding places in crevices
of the roots and cracks of the building.
To destroy mites and keep the flock
free Of their depredations, insecticide
sprays and sanitary building are nec-
essary.
The presence of mites Is indicated by
small black and white specks on the
rOosts-the excrement of these insects.
The first step Is to get rid Of the hiding
places so far as possible. The roosts
should be taken down and all unneces-
sary boards and boxes removed. In
heavily infested houses the mites are
to be found In all parts Of the building,
including the roof. Where they are
less numerous, the infestations usually
are confined to the roosts and nests
and the walls Immediately adjacent.
For small coops hand atomizer will
suffice for applying insecticides as
sprays, but for larger houses a bucket
pump. knapsack sprayer, or barrel
pump is desirable. A rather coarse
spray should be applied from all angles
and thoroughly driven into the cracks.
The floor also should be treated, as
many mites fall to the floor when the
roosts are being removed.
OF the several materials that have
proved effective, one Of the so-called
wood preservers, consisting Of certain
coaltar products. known as anthracene
oil, with zinc chloride added, has given
particularly good results. Its repelling
power lasts for months. The cost Is
about 81 d gallon, but twice the guam
city may be obtained By reducing with
equal parts Of kerosene.
Crude petroleum II almost as effec-
tive, retains its killing power for sew
eral weeks, and in most localities Il is
very cheap. It will spray better II
thinned with one part Of kerosene to
tour parts Of crude oil.
Both of these materials often contain
foreign particles which should. be
strained out before spraying Is begun.
It has been found that one thorough
application of either Of these materials
will completely eradicate the mites
from an infested chicken house, but
ordinarily It Is advisable to make. a
second application month after the
,nrst, and In some cases a third treat
ment is required. These subsequent
Implications may be made with brush,

only the roosts. their supports, the
walls adjoining, and the nests IL they
are infested. This method Of applica-
ton is effective for the first treatment
also If the houses are not heavily in
tested. Poultry should be kept out Of
the treated buildings until the material
Is well dried into the wood.
Used as a dip, crude petroleum will
also destroy the small mite which
causes scaly leg. In dipping for mite
the solution should not be allowed to
reach the flesh above the infestation or
to get on the feathers.

prepared by the United States Depart

Notwithstanding the fact that the
type of animal is of very much more
importance than the breed, there are
some breeds of beef cattle which are
better suited than others to the South.
One breed may be especially adapted
to a certain purpose, or certain
farm, or a certain section of the coun-
try where another may be entirely out
Of place. The answer to the frequent
Iy asked question, "What is the best
breed of beef cattle for the South?"
cannot therefore be given by naming
any one particular breed.
The Shorthorn breed is well adapt
ed to the South, but they are not as
early maturing or do not Craze as well
as do the Herefords. They are the
largest of the beef animals, and some
of the individuals show strong milking
tendencies. On farm where the pas
ture grasses are well developed and
too much effort is not required to get
a sufficient amount to eat, 1t would
be difficult to find breed Of beef ami
mails which would surpass the Short
horn. fNt
Hereford Most Popular.
The Hereford breed is now probably
the most popular In the South. In
size this is one of the largest breeds,
ranking next to the Shorthorn. From
the standpoint Of the average farmer
the weakest point is their inability to
give a sufficient quantity Of milk to
nourlsh the calves. On account Of ex
ceptional vigor, rustling ability, a
thick coat Of hair, and temperament
the Hereford has taken first place as
a grazing animal. Owing to their vigor
they are often capable of securing liv-
Ing from pastures which afford limit
ed amount Of grass. No breed of beef
cattle equals the Hereford for with
