ELIMINATE UNTHRIFTY BIRDS
stunted Chicks VIII Never Pay for
Feed and Care Used in Trying
to Rear Them.

In any lot Of chicks there will be
found certain stunted or unthrifty In
dividuals. Such birds will never pay
for the feed and care used In trying
to roar them. 1t Is not only good
sense but also good business judgment
to Gull these unthrifty chicks just as
soon as they are discovered. There
also will be found certain cockerels
which exceed their fellows In the ra-
pidity of growth and maturity. It Is
well to mark and save such cockerels
which reach good size to use as

HAIRY PERUVIAN HAS
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES
Should Not Be Confused With
Smooth-Leaved Variety.
Is Rapid Grower, Receivers Quickly
After Cutting and Furnishes More
Pasturage During Winter and
In Fall and Spring.

Peruvian alfalfa has decided advan-
tages over other varieties for those
sections of the United States where II
will grow, say forage experts of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. This should be taken as apply
ing to the true or hairy Peruvian al
falfa and not to the so-called smooth
leaved Peruvian alfalfa. This later
name the specialists regard as unfor-
tunate as 1t leads to confusion In the
seed trade and gives INSCRIPTIONS
dealers an opportunity to make exces-
sive profits on mixed seeds. The
Smooth Peruvian Is hardly distin-
guishable from common alfalfa"
The principal advantages Of Peru
Wan as compared with common al
fa1fa are its more rapid growth, quick
recovery after cutting, and ability to
grow In cooler weather, thus furnish
ing more pasturage during the winter
and in late fall and early spring.
The territory In which common al
falfa could be proftably replaced by
Peruvian includes a comparatively
narrow strip down the Pacific coast
and along the Mexican border and the
gulf, thence up the Atlantic coast to
the vicinity of Charleston, s. G. It
cannot be grown to advantage where
the winter temperature falls below 10
degrees.
This alfalfa was first introduced
into this country by the United States
department Of agriculture in 1899. The
earliest introductions were not per-
petuated, however, and 1t was not un-
til 1908 that considerable efforts were
made to produce supply of seed. The
subject Of the Peruvian alfalfa indus
try is discussed in detail In depart
ment Of agriculture circular 93.
