prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
A series Of experimental feeding
tests conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture at its
Beltsville (Md.) livestock farm, re-
vealed some interesting information
as to the effect of SLIDING upon the
palatability of various plants found
on a farm or range.
During the last summer and fall
about 100 different plants and COM
binations of plants were packed In
barrels in a silo. The purpose was
to study the effect Of the silo fer
mentation upon the fiber, and other
features of the plants. 1t was thought
possible that siIage would overcome
Objectionable qualities Of certain
plants. in addition to breaking down
the fiber of some which were too
woody for stock feed.
Test PaIatability.
The various lots of silages were
taken to Beltsville to test their
palatability as cattle feed. The tests
were not protracted enough to give
final conclusions, but a number Of in
teresting results were obtained. Both
wild and tame sunflowers were eaten
readily when they came out OF the
silo, although the peculiar flavor and
woody stalk Of the former make it
%distasteful in it's natural state. Rus
sian thistle was eaten in the course
of about II hours, and the same was
rue of ragweed, which cattle seldom
touch in the field. Canada thistles,
and castor bean plants without seed
were eaten quite readily. Jack bean
vines and pods were eaten rather
reluctantly. The COWS ate sliced Aus
tralian salt bush, but not the native
plant. Sliced onion tops were fed to
four COWS; two ate them and two
refused them. Buckwheat also pro-
vided a choice morsel. Cabbages,
which in their. natural state are
eaten avidly by cattle, were absolute
ly untouched when sliced, the prod
uct being in many respects similar
to u kraut but without the salt.
Giant rye grass went untouched.
Cattle Fed Regular Rations.
The cattle were not compelled to;
eat any Of the sliced products to,
satisfy hunger. as hay was fed them

The Disposal of Old Stock.

Summer is always an excellent
time for poultry keepers to thin out
their locks of old hens. They should
be sold or killed o ffwithout delay as
soon as they stop laying and COM
mence moulting.
By starting to weed out early in
the summer it is possible to do SO
gradually and thus let loose of no
fowl until she has actually reached
the stage of being improbable. For
example, those who have a number of
laying hens, and who do not wish to
kill and eat them, should sell them
off a few at a time, to make room for
the growing youngsters, and also
keep all the old hens until they quit
laying.
When poultry-keepers have a mum
Der of birds to sell, they generally
clear them off at once, which is not
the most profitable way of selling. If
there are fifty birds for sale, sell at
once the dozen or more that you are
quite sure have stopped producing,
then gradually get rid of the others
as he summer advances. In this way
you will at all times get as many
aoos and will have only about half
the quantity of food to provide. This
is where many poultry keepers fail,
as the remaining stock also fares bet
ter when not o~vercrowded. If folks
would only study the laying qualities
of their fowls as much as exhibitors
do exhibition points in their BIRDS,
the laying qualities would be very
much improved in every 1ock.-1owa
Homestead.

It is. how he can do it, and then en-

Train a person in any line of endeav-

believe about all have agreed that
we now have in the country, mail
routes, autos, phones, etc. Be it ever
so. But does that change the fact
that if the pastor of a country church
wants to develop it he must take the
material he finds and qualify it for
its work by proper training?
1t has been further agreed that
every church ought to have a good
Sunday School, B. Y. P. u, w. M. U.
and sundry other auxiliaries, each
of which can contribute large to-
wards the accomplishment of the
purposes of the church. Truly said.
But that does not change the fact
that the pastor who sees the need of
these must train leaders for them.
It is true some pastors seem not to
see the need of these. Then the prob
lem is not with the church in that
case but with the pastor. l am not,
discussing him now but his task.
We all know what our ultimate
aims are for the country church. We
also know the facts and conditions
to be handled. The great need of the
country churches today is for their
pastors (and I speak as one of them)
to get busy on their job and for the
denomination to encourage them by
recognizing the worth of those who
will do it.
The suction of a rapidly moving
industrial and social world has quick
ened the pace in other spheres, both
religious and secular. The heightened
average of general education is help
ing some in church development. But
I insist on the original proposition
of this article, viz, the country
church presents us with a task and
an opportunity; and that discussing
it, pointing out the conditions, enum-
Grating the possibilities, ETC., will not.
get us anywhere Work is what is
needed. May God give US the grace
of work.-Rev A. w. Bussey of Bow
man, Ca, in the Christian Index.

BEETLES ARE MOST HARMFUL
Covering of cheeseeloth Will Afford
Necessary Protection for
Vines and Plants.

The striped cucumber beetle and the
12-spotted cucumber beetle attack Gu
cumber, squash, and melon vines
through the East. The best protec-
ton is to cover young plants with
cheesecloth-covered frames, which may
be made on barrel-hoop arches. When
the insects actually get access to the
leaves, a solution of arsenate of lead
and bordeaux mixture is effective.
