CRUSADE AGAINST MOLES NETS
FARMERS PROFIT FROM SKINS

Moleskins obtained from animals
killed in the crusade fostered by the
Biological Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, against crop
destroying animals have netted $780,
900 to $4,000 year to farmers OF
Oregon and Washington. Moles and
the many other kinds Of rodents do
serious damage to grass and grain,
and a campaign Of determination was
started against them through coopera-
ton of the Biological Survey and the
State Reclamation Service. AS a by
product Of determination the fur Of
the mole was found to be of value,
The pelt of the northwest mole is
superior to that of the Scotch mole.
which Is generally used for fur gar
ments. The northwestern moleskins
have recently sold at from so to 60
cents apiece and have been in great
demand
The total annual damage by rodents
to crops and grains in the United
States is estimated roughly at $780,
100000. This is being cut down by
systematic poisoning campaigns in
various sections. The territory cover
ed in these campaigns in the last
year amounted to about 100000
acres. The saving to crops in the
destruction of moles and OF such
rodents as prairie dogs, ground SPUR
rels, pocket gophers, and jack rabbits
| is estimated to be $40 100000 year

KEEP BREED OF FOWLS BEST
SUITED TO YOUR NEEDS

Leaving out of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties, all the stan
dard American breeds of fowls have
been made and developed on the gen.
eral principle of practical quality as
the foundation of breed character
and value. In harmony with this
principle, the common classification
of breeds according to their places i'll
the general scheme Of poultry pro-
ducton divides them into three prin-
cipal classes, laying breeds, meat
breeds. and general-purpose breeds
that is breeds that are not as ready
and persistent egg producers as the
laying breeds, and not as meaty and
as easy to fatten as the meat breeds,
yet combine in one individual fowl
very good laying capacity with very
good table quality.
| The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona. and Campine are well-known
breeds Of the laying class; the Brah-
ma, Dorking, and Cornish of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyan
dotte, Rhode Island Red, and Orping'
ton of the general-purpose class.
The breeds of the laying class, with
the exception of the Minorca. are rel
atively small, very energetic and
lively mature early, and are easily
kept in good laying condition. The
Minorca is Of larger size and modi-
fed somewhat in the other particu-
lars mentioned, yet has more the
character OF the laying class than OF
any other.
In the meat breds there is not the
same uniformity of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three men,
toned differ decidedly. The Brahma
is most popular because it is at the
same time the largest and most rug
ged in constitution. The DOrkine
excels in quality of meat, but is gen.
orally considered somewhat lacking
in hardness. The Cornish is rather
hard meated, but being very shorr
feathered has it's special place as {
large meat-producing fowl in south
erly sections where the more heavily
feathered Braham does not stand til,
summer we'll.
Among the popular breeds of tn,
general-purpose class there are ais
differences in type. adapting breed
to different uses. The Plymouth Roci
is generally regarded as the typ
meeting the widest range of require
ments in the general-purpose class
The Wyandotte is little sma!le
and earlier maturing, but still yer,
we'll meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearl
the same standards of weight as tn
!. Wyandotte, but is more active bird
not putting on fat so readily. Con
, sequently, it approaches the layin
type and is most popular with thos
who want eggs and meat, but wan
eggs most.
The Orpington is at the other ex
treme in the general-purpose class
!, being a heavier, meatier fowl thai
the Plymouth Rock.
Such a list of breeds affords 81
, wide range of choice that poultr'
keepers can always select a standar,
. breed better adapted to their local
ity and their purpose than any non
standard stock they can procure, sa

States Department of Agriculture.

here tonight by Governor Carl E..
Milliken at a meeting of the Maine
association. More than sou natives of
the State gave Governor Milliken an
elaborate reception prior to the
meeting, which was held at Trinity
Community house, near the foot or
the United States Capitol.
In addition to relating the various
campaigns conducted throughout the
State of Maine to raise the standard
of education, Governor Milliken, told
of the plans already made for the
forthcoming centennial in Portland.
He pointed out that during the
centennial celebration, every effort
will be made to make Maine more
Familiarity known to the people Of the
State and also the nation.
Governor Milliken also outlined
the plans to be used to educate the
nation in the history, industrial re-
sources and scenery OF the State.
Then he diverted his address into
pointing out the great exodus of ma
tives of the State during the last
several years, and told of the plans
to retain the people. ITO prevent
the exodus he said, 'Wc have got
to solve the rural school problem,
the greatest point of weakness. This
we already have attempted to do by
establishing an educational Platts-
burg for rural school teachers where
they are given each year six months
Of intensive training. AS a result
of this, the school teachers of Maine
have received from 80 to eco percent
increase in wages and the State now
! has the three highest paid rural
| teachers in America"
