PLAN FOR BETTER PASTURES
Cut Useless Trees and Remove All
Rubbish and Brush-Top Dressing
Of Manure 10 Good.

prepared ny the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Cut or deaden all trees except those
needed for shade, and clear off the
brush and rubbish. Pasture plants can
not compete with timber. One should
decide whether he desires woods or
pasture and act accordingly.
Have the shady places ON the higher
parts of the field and not along run
ming streams or around ponds. Much
fertility Is lost from grazing lands be-
cause this rule Is not more generally
followed.
Fertilize as you would for a good
meadow. There is nothing better than
an occasional top dressing of stable
manure. This should be applied in the
fall or winter. Acid phosphate and
basic Stag are very efficient in promot-
ing the growth of tame grasses and
clovers and they in turn tend to crowd
out the weeds. The weed problem In
closely graZed pastures on rich soils Is
practically nothing.
Reseed an old pasture only as last
resort. If pastures in the East fail, 1t
is usually because of depleted fertility
and not from lack of seed. Reseeding
should be done in thorough and not
a slipshod manner and only after the
fertility of the soil has been restored.

Game Laws Summed Up

for the Aid of HuntSmen

To aid trappers and hunters, the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has issued Farmers Bulletin 1922

mails" which is summary Of legisla-
ton in the United States, Canada and
Newfoundland, relating to trapping,
open seasons, propagation and boun-
ties. Under the stimulus Of high prices
there is always danger that trappers
will deplete the trapping grounds and
permanently decrease the number of
fur animals, the federal specialists
say. Regulations and seasons should
be carefully observed, so that the fur
supply Of the future shall not be en-
dangered.

were $3S,3S9,372 as compared with

or under load until the new oil has had
ample time to reach all bearings. The
dirty oil drained off may be filtered
and used for oiling other farm ma
chimes, but 1t should not be used again
in the cylinder. If the oil in the crank
case quickly becomes thin 1t Is evil
dent that some of the fuel is getting
past the piston rings. This seriously
affects the lubricating quality of the
oil. 1t should, of course, be replaced
with fresh oil, and steps taken to i'm
prove the carburetion so as to form
u fuel mixture which will burn more
completely.
Keep All Nuts Tight.
1t requires but minute or two to
60 over an engine and see that all
screws and nuts are tight, Mt the same
time wiping off any oil and dirt which
have collected. This should be done at
least once every day the engine Is
used. Such practice will 60 far toward
preventing many operating troubles,
since all gas engines vibrate to some
extent and this vibration tends to
loosen bolts, nuts and other parts.
This is always potential source Of
breakdowns, If not of serious accidents.
Furthermore, loosening of parts often
results in loss of power.

Reorganization and expansion of
the office of farm management of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture is recommended by the commit
tee of farm management leaders and
others appointed some time ago by
Secretary Houston to study the work
of farm management and outline prof.
ects for more extensive studies. The
committee is made up of the follow
ing economists and students of farm
crops: H. G.. Taylor, agricultural
economists. University of Wisconsin;
George F. Warren, farm management,
Cornell university; Andrew Boss, ag-
ronomy and farm management, Uni
versity of Minnesota; J. A. Foord, ag-
riculture and farm management, Mas

university; r. l.. Adams, farm man.
agement, University of California;
G. |. Christie, assistant secretary of
agriculture; and representatives of
the bureau of crop estimates, the bu-
reau Of markets, and the office of
farm management of the department
of agriculture.
The basic recommendation of the
committee is that the office be ex-
banded to include both farm manage
ment and farm economics and that it
be established as a bureau under the
name of bureau of farm management
and farm economics. This, the COM
mittee states, it recommends "in rec
ognition of the work already accom-.
plished in farm economics along with
the investigational work in farm man.
agement and in view of the great
need for still further studies OF the
farming business"
DR.. H. c. Taylor, first mentioned
member of the above committee, has
been appointed by the secretary of
agriculture as chief Of the office of
farm management, Secretary Houston
having approved the plans Of the
committee. The plans for expansion
can and will be set in operation, in
large measure, under DR.. Taylor's di.
rection, with existing authority and
funds.

Smallest Bird Is American;
400 Species of Runners;
Only in Western Hemisphere

The smallest and most brilliantly col
cred of all feathered creatures are the
hunIming birds, and of the 400 species
none is to be found elsewhere than in
this western hemisphere. notes writ
err in the Arkansas Gazette.
The largest Of these birds are no
more than eight and half inches and
the .mallest about two and three
eighths in length. OF these the larg-
est are never seen far north and the
smallest rarely. The ruby-throated
humming bird, called by Audubon "a
glittering fragment of the rainbow"
breeds from the far southern states
as far north as Labrador and winters
from southern Florida to Central
America, remaining with US from May
to october. It's length is about three
and one-quarter inches. The upper
plumage is metallic green, the male
having ruby red gorget, white col
lar on the throat and deeply fOrked
tail Of brownish violet. The female
IS of palmer colorings. The eggs, new.
err more than two, are white and about
as large as peas.
1t is popular mistake that hum
ming birds feed only on the honey in
flowers. They really for the most part
feed on insects, gathered with their
harbed and sticky tongues from flow
ers and leaves. They are, notwith-
standing their diminutive size, very
pugnacious and will attack birds much
larger than themselves, so that the
English sparrow, with all his Wanted
courage, dare not intrude on their
nests.
