CLIPPING WITH MOWER
WILL STOP WHITE TOP

white-top and certain other
weeds are likely TO occur i'm the
meadow this year in great album
dance owing 10 the unusually wet
spring. according 10 Z. J. PiLal. Of
the extension staff OF Purdue un!-
versity.
There is a way in which meadow
weeds can be held in check and the
damage reduced to a considerable
extent. White-top grows faster as
a rule than timothy or clover. About
the middle of May whitc-top will ne
several inches taller than the crop
plants. making il possible 10 run
over the meadow and clip off the
tops Of weeds without doing any
clover. The sickle bar of the ma
chine is raised i'm this operation
high enough so as TO Iass over most
Of the crop plants Although many
of the clipped weeds will send out
damage that would be stuff red with
out this treatment.
Another means Of keeping down
white-top IS letting the sheep Craze
it, Sheep are very fond of white
top and they will eat il i'm prefer
enCc TO forage grasses. If turned
into meadow. especially timothy
mellow. they Will cream out the
white-tor without doing any damage

tho weed down along fences and
rOadsides. around the barnyard and
orchards without any special trouble

STOCK-RALSLNG
FARM HENS LACK
SUFFICIENT FEED
In Order to Insure Production
Farmers Advised to In
crease Feed.

At least IS percent OF Indiana
farm hens do not get sufficient feed.
These hens do not pick Up" enough
feed In spring, summer, or any 9TH
or time 10 insure good production,
as many people enormously suppose.
This belief is a false tradition and
Is in the same class with setting a
hen according TO the moon or Sc
lecting round eggs 10 hatch pullets.
Records kept on Indiana farms for
the Purdue University Extension de-
partment. indicate that farm hens
get less than a fourth OF the feed
needed to produce the highest num-
Der Of eggs, when range only is de-
pended on for feed.
Records Scheduled.
Out Of a thousand egg records
kept on farm hoCks in Indiana. $50
hocks averaged from one to Is eggs
per hen for the month Of March.
The remaining $50 hocks averaged
from l > to % eggs per hen. Well
fed hocks should lay from Is to 20
eggs per hen i'm March. A fourth
OF the 1000 records were from fiocks
averaging less than 10 eggs per hen
and a half OF the records averaged
below Il eggs per hen. This RI
atively poor production was due TO
poor feeding or no Feeding at all,
according TO G. w Carrick, one OF
the extension men.
Hens cannot lay their best un-
less given feeds that produce eggs.
Corn alone or any other grain viii
not produce many eggs Grains are
most valuable when supplemented
with dry mash and animal food.
Animal protein must be supplied in
the form Of tankage, meat scraps, or
milk" he says.
Dry Mash Recommended.
Farm hens should have access ev-
cry month in the year to a self
feeder containing dry mash. The
university poultry department and
many farmers over the state have
successfully used dry mash Of so
pounds wheat bran. 80 pounds wheat
middlings and 90 pounds high grade
digester tankage. These should be
mixed together and proportional by
weight. If skim milk or buttermilk
is available give as a drink one gal
lon a day for each so hens. The
tankage or meat scraps need not
then be used A good grain ration
TO supplement this dry mash is $50
part Of the corn may be substituted
by it.
Many people object 10 this method
Of feeding as expensive and unnec-
essary under farm conditions. OF
course, feed costs money, but for
every dollar invested in feed of the
right sort, three to four dollars will
be returned. The records show that
farm hens do not pick up the neces-
sary feed for good production while
by good feeding heavy laying and
excellent profits result.

WON CANE BY SKILL
R.H.S. Basket Shooters Defeat
COeur d'Alene.

The Rathdrum high school basket
nall team defeated CGur d'Alene high
school In the return game PLAYED
here last FRIDAY night. The final
score was 20 to I8.
1t was probably the most hotly
contested game OF the season on the
local floor because Of the intense
rivalry existing between the two
schools and because of the Rathdrum
teams determination to get even with
its larger antagonist for the defeat
administered by it at CGur d'Alene
earlier in the season. The CGur d.
Alene players averaged over 8 pound
each more in weight than the Rath-
drum boys and they evidently relied
upon this preponderance Of averdu.
poise for success. Against this handi
cap the local team had TO play hard
and fast, and by superiority Of speed
and skill secured lead in the begin
ming which it held throughout the
game.
At the end Of the first half the
score stood 8 to 4 in favor OF
Rathdrum. In this half the local
players kept the ball In their terri
tory most OF the time, and were
successful in blocking nearly every
play attempted by the visitors. ln
the second half the greater weight of
the visiting team became more mani
fest and when the score stood lS to IA,
the Rathdrnm boys, tired but winning,
resorted to the expedient to tossing
the ball about to one another keeping
1t out of the hands Of the visitors
while the watch licked the minutes
away. Varying these tactics an
Instant they added two more points
To their score and the visitors secur
ing the ball again also made another
basket, their last although they
later awakened from their bewilder-
meut and sought valnly TO break up
the delaying tactics again before the
pistol shot ended the game.
A large crowd attended, including
number OF spectators from CGur d.
Alene.
