GOOD DEMAND FOR FEATHERS
poultry Raisers Should Not Overlook
Profits That May Be Made From
This By-Product.

There is usually ready market for
prime feathers that have had proper
care and poultry raisers should not
overlook the profits that may be made
from this by-product. Feathers of
ducks and geese are especially valu-
able but sometimes even chicken
feathers can be sold at price well
worth the trouble to save and care
for them. Feathers should be picked
when ripe, that is, all the animal mat
ter should be out of the quill. At
this stage they are easily plucked
without damage or Inconvenience and
will not spoil or become moth eaten.
IT is advisable to separate the body
feathers from them according to color.
White feathers are particularly val
liable.

prepared by the United States Depart

When the ground Is frozen, the snow
is flying, and the wind is whistling q
merry gale. your alfalfa field will prize
a warm winter 0vercoat under which
it will pass the cold weather in excel
lent condition. Nature Is the tailor
that turns out the winter clothes for
the alfalfa field and specialists Of ag-
riculture recommend that farmers CO
operate as far as possible with nature
in replenishing the winter wardrobe
Of this forage crop.
There are two important reasons
why alfalfa should not be cut or grazed
close at the end of the growing season.
It is essential that q sufficient growth
be allowed to remain on the field to
catch and hold snow, and to afford
protection to the plants from severe
winter conditions. It is even more i'm
pOrtant that the late growth he not
cut or grazed, since close cutting or
grazing makes it impossible for the
plant to store up the necessary re-
serve food material in its crown and
roots. Unless there is such reserve
upon which to draw, the vigor Of the
plant is greatly impaired and it Is not

able to withstand severe winter
weather. This is true of old as well t
as of young plants, and in many cases '
close cutting has been as responsible
for the mortality of the plants as
lack of inherent hardness on the part
of the strain.
Late Hay Crop Losses.
A common practice of many alfalfa
raisers is to cut off crop Of hay
rather late in the fall or else to pas
ture the forage so heavily at this time
that adequate growth will not be avail
able for the protection of the crop
during cold weather. The scant hay
crop which the grower gains by this
practice of late clipping in no respect
repays him for the damage which he
usually does to his stand of alfalfa.
Every farmer should allow his alfalfa
fields to grow at random. unmOlested
during the fall, as by this he is pro-
viding the essential warm winter
clothes for the crop. Not only should
he refrain from cutting any hay but
he also should be careful not to Craze
the alfalfa too closely. This applies
particularly to new stands, seeded
the preceding summer, as the fall
growing season is the time when these
new fields establish their root systems
and produce sufficient growth for their
cold-weather protection. This growth,
which ultimately dies and lies like
blanket over the field through the
winter, will not reduce the quality Of
the next cutting of hay. but, on the
contrary, will act as beneficial mulch.
Protecting Animals from Bloat.
It is also essential to protect the
farm live stock against bloat where
they are pastured even lightly during
the fall season on the alfalfa fields.
This is best done by never turning
the live stock on the alfalfa fields at
a time when the animals are SO hun
CRY that they will gorge themselves
with this succulent green feed.
Another reason why late fall cut
tings of new alfalfa fields are unde-
sirable comes from the fact that not
only are the hay yields limited in guam
tity, but they also are inferior In quail
fly, being washy and without the bone
building and growth-producing sub
stances which are the valuable ele-
ments in well-matured, full.grown al
falfa.

to the farm. In one camp, before the
agricultural representative had infor-
nation about definite jobs and farm
opportunities, so per cent of the farm
boys went to cities to get job After
he had the information only 5 per
cent of those with previous farm ex-
perience chose the city.
There was shortage of farm labor
before the war. One million men went
from the farms into military and naval
service. Some of these men will not
return to the land. This is neither
unusual nor unexpected. Many thous-
ands of young men left the farms dur
ing peace times for industry. the nro-

the large majority of soldiers who
came from the farms and who are
given any reasonable opportunity are
