GULL POOR PRODUCING HENS
and During Early Fall Months
Comb Is Indicator.

The hens should be culled out dur
months, beginning to Gull out the poor
producers just as soon as they stop
laying, which is usually in July and
August. When hen is laying her
comb will be large, full of blood and
bright red in color. AS she stops lay
ing, the comb becomes small and
shrunken, pale or dull in color, and
is usually rather hard. Another good
indication to use in selecting those
hens which stop laying early Is mott
ing, as the hens that start to mott
early--that is, in July and August
are usually the poorest producers.
While hen which has mOlted most
Of her feathers is very easy to pick
out by sight without examination, the
only way to ascertain accurately
when the hens begin to molt Is to han
die them Before the body and wing
feathers are molted in any great num-
Der you, will find short pin feathers
growing thiGkly on the back and in
the feather tracts running back from
the breast indicating that these hens
have started to mott and probably
have stopped laying IL their combs
and general appearance indicate nom
production. The pelvic bones are also
helpful In making this test as these
two bones tend to close up when the
hen stops laying. If the spread be-
tween these bones measures two
fingers or less the probability is that
the hen is not laying, while If the
spread Is greater, together with other
indications mentioned, she is probably
laying.

GUlNEAS FAVOR FREE RANGE
Fowls Can Be Depended Upon to Pick
Up Considerable Portion Of
Their Food.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Most guinea raiserS allow their
breeding stock free range of the entire
farm at all times. and this helps to
keep the birds strong and vigorous
During the winter the breeders should
have been fed a grain mixture Of corn,
wheat and oats twice q day, and where
no green feed was available, vege-
tables, such as potatoes, turnips, beets
and cabbage. Animal feed is essen
tial to best results and can be supplied
by feeding meat scrap or skinned
milk. Given free range. where the sup
ply Of natural feed during the win
ter and early spring are ample, as it
usually is In tho southern portion Of
the United States, the guineas can be
left to pick up q considerable part Of
their feed, say poultry specialists Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Free access to grit, charcoal,
and oyster shell Is necessary through
out the breeding season. Avoid hay
ing the breeders too fat, but keep them
In good, firm flesh.
Like quail and most other wild birds,
guinea fowls in their wild state mate
In pairs, and this tendency prevails
among domestieated guineas, also, pro-
vided the males and females are equal
In number. As the breeding season
approaches, one pair after another sep
arates from the remainder Of the flock
and ranges off in the fields in search
Of suitable nesting place. Once
mated this way, the male usually re-
mains with his mate throughout the
laying season, standing guard some
where near the nest while the hen is
laying, and ready to warn her Of any
approaching danger.
However it Is not necessary to mate
them In pairs under domestic condi-
lions to secure fertile eggs, and most
breeders keep but one male for every
three or four females. When mated In
this way the hens are more apt to lay
near home, and several usually lay
in the same nest, thus making it much
easier to find the nests and gather the
eggs.
While guineas can be- kept in the
best breeding condition upon free

EXPERIENCE NEEDED
WITH ALFALFA CROP
Farmer Soon Learns Best Time
for Cutting Plant.
Government Experts Lean Strongly
Toward Fewer Crops During Year,
Holding That Larger Tonnage
Can Be Secured.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Just when to cut alfalfa and how
many times to harvest crop in one
season are questions which have re-
celved studied attention from experts
In the United States Department OF
Agriculture and the various expert
ment stations In alfalfa producing
states. Ordinarily 1t Is a good time
to cut alfalfa for hay when the new
shoots have started from the crown,
and from one-tenth to one-fifth Of the
plants are in flower. But these two
conditions do not always occur at the
same time. However, the farmer with
a little experience, and keeping in
mind the flower and new shoots, soon
is able to tell when his alfalfa crop
should be cut. The farmers best judg-
ment will be called into play, with
preference given to the welfare Of the
plant rather than the size of the crop.
Experiments on government plats
seem to prove that cutting is not es-
sential to the welfare of the plant,
hut is only means Of getting hay.

Geese have an important part in the

In larger measure than chickens or
any other kind of poultry they are
grazing stock, getting their living in
large part from the ordinary grasses
of the pastures, say poultry special
lists of the United States Department
Of Agriculture. When 1t is considered
that the demand for geese is steady,
and extended over almost the whole
year, not confined to holidays, as in
the case Of turkeys, that geese excel
all other poultry as producers of fat,

prepared by tho United States Depart

Evidently the Western cabbage flea
beetle was not Matched to die by
poisOn-at least by sprays Of arsenicals
found so effective against many crop
insect pests. 1t may be driven away,
however, by poisonous applications,
and herein lies the methods of control
discovered by specialists Of the bureau
Of entomology, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, whose expert
ments in combating the pest are de-
scribed In Department Bulletin 8O2,
'"Ahe Western Cabbage Flea Beetle"
recently published. This insect is by
no means confined to cabbage, but fire.
quently does serious injury to turnips,
radishes, mustard, kale and other cole
crops, to sugar beets, table beets and
under exceptional conditions to beans
and peas.
Dainty in Habits.
The beetles, 1t Is said, are dainty in

lacking either unsprayed parts or fly
ing to other plants. Repellents such
as tobacco dust were found to be the
most effective of those tested, and Of
the arsenicals, heavy applications of
arsenate of lead gave the most salts
factory results.
A formula that gave excellent re-
suits was arSenate of lead paste, l
pound; fish-oil soap, as stlcker,
pound and water, 10 gallons. Half of
this weight of powdered lead arsenate,
or 21s pounds in so gallons Of water,
is equally effective, with a correspond
ing quantity of soap, to act as an ad-
hesive, or "sticker." 1t should be APP
piled with a sprayer fitted with elbow
extension, and special effort should be
made to coat thoroughly the under
surface of the leaves. Two or three
applications at five to elght-day inter
walls are sufficient, even in case Of Sc
we're infestation, provided the first ap-
plication is made promptly on the first
appearance of the insect
Control by Nicotine.
The pest can also be controlled by
nicotine sulphate, one-half pint, 40
per cent solution, in so gallons of wa
ter, with 2 pounds of soap added
which is a deterrent. It is not pos
sible, however, to control this insect
entirely when it occurs in its great
est abundance.
In addition, it is desirable to keep
the plants thrifty and we'll wate. ed
Mechanical and crop traps can be used
with advantage. Clean culture is al
ways advisable.
