KIDDING FIELDS OF GoPHERs
Poisoning Is by Far Most Effective
 Means of Extermlnatino De- .. structive Rodents. -.

Trapping and Immigration are two of the more commonly practiced meth ods of ridding fields of gophers, but poisoning is by far the more effective, although great care must be exercised in order to prevent poisoning of either the operator or farm animals which have access to the field. A very ac- tive poison must be used, as, for ex- ample, strychnine or cyanide of potas- sium. Pieces of potato, apple or sweet potato poisoned with strychnine cap sules answer the purpose very well, and raisins or prunes treated in this way have been found to give very good results.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

In the year past the American Legion doubled in membership and added SAY posts, according to Ma tional Headquarters. All records for growth, however, were broken by the Women's Auxiliary, which started the year 1920 with 5000 members and finished with an enroll ment of 100000 and total of 1895 units. All state departments reg istered substantial gains and new posts, were formed in the following foreign countries; Argentine Repub- lie, Belgium, Chile, China, Guate- mala, Japan, Poland, Samoa, Santo Domingo and Peru.
 Checks received by the national treasurer of the American Legion tos provide for the adoption of French war orphans now total $4,650. This anountt is enough to care for sixty two orphans for a period of one year. The greater part of the adoptions were made by Legion posts in many parts of the country but a number of individuals contributed. .l.fh TN ssss .''s.t

Lamb Produetions Inereased

.e4g> s4ss By Liberal Feeding
 Specialized sheep farming in which forage crops were used for the summer pasture, and a study of the relation of nutrition of ewes at breeding time to the percentage of lambs produced were included in the experimental work conducted last year by the United States Depart ment ofnAgriculture at the Govern ment farms at Beltsville, Md, and Middlebury, Vt.q Hge -s2
 Data were obtained relative to the comparative relish with which sheep ate different forage crops and the gains made while pasturing upon them. It, was demonstrated that with the. frequent rotation necessary in, pasturing forage crops, sheep could be successfully raised with out danger of infestation by stomach worms or other internal parasites. Experiments in the last four years to test the effect of feed at breeding time upon the size of the lamb crop have shown an increase of 18.8 per cent of lambs produced by increased nutrition of ewes during mating season for both Beltsville and iddlebury. This is an increase of 25.9 per cent in the Beltsville flock and 8.55 per cent in the Middlebury flock. @

Corn Most Popular Of All ~--..a. Grain Feeds For Poultry


 < Of all grain feeds usually supplied to farm poultry, corn has been and still is, the most popular. This prob ably is due to it's abundance and rela- tive cheapness, and because it is the most relished ofall the grains. Corn is. heating and fattening, and when fed to fowls as the only feed, fat rather than eggs is the usual result. It should, be balanced with meat bone, bran, and such feeds as are rich in nitrogenous matter, in which corn is deficient. When corn is fed to ,layinghens that have opportunity to take plenty of exercise and to ob- isfactory results are to be obtained. It may be fed more freely during the winter than during the summer, say poultry specialist of United States Department of Agriculture.
 fGWheat is generally regarded as the safest grain to be fed alone. f It, is not quite so fattening as corn, but is too fattening when fed alone. Wheat should be supplemented by the same feeds as advised to use corn topin- crease the proportion of protein. Wheat contains a little more protein carbohydrates, but less fat, and on than corn, about the sameYamount of carbohydrates, but less fat,a and on the whole isconsidered not so valu- able for fattening, but slightly better for, growth. Good grades of wheat are relatively. too high in price to. be used freely in feeds at the present time. Wheat screenings of 8 good grade can frequently be- purchased and fed to advantage. sOf course, there is always the danger of intro ducing weed seed on the farm. Burnt wheat"seldom can be fed advantage ously, ~ the difference in price be- this and good wheat being usually too slight to warrant it's use. s4 a.3 Oats, while not as good as corn or what, are necessary for variety. They contain more indigestiblei fiber than the other grains Hulled oats are relished by poultry and are excellent for producing eggs,s but are usually too expensive. When they can be obtained at reasonable price in comparison with other grains they may be fed quite freely. 2" asesz
 Barley does not seem to be relish ed by hens, but may be used to give variety to the grain ration. It has a little more protein than corn and a little less than oats. Si

Sweet Cream Butter Keeps
 Without Storawo Flavor

lsS
 .. -..,. Without Storage Flavor
 The, Dairy Division, United States
 Department of Agriculture, advises larger use of sweet cream butter,
 because of it's better keeping quality. t The United States Navy is large
 consumer of this kind of butter, made according to the Navy speci- fications from unripened or sweet cream, instead of from the cream D iripened to, sourness, of which most creamery butter is made. For sey- ,eral years past it has been the prac- itice of the Navy Department. to con- tract for butter made of sweet cream in large amounts to supply the officers and sailors. This butter is packed under the supervision of the Dairy, Division of the United States Department of Agriculture. During the war, the personnel of the Navy being enlarged, much greater quantity of butter was needed. ! The principal reason the Navy de- sires sweet cream butter is that it keeps better. As the larger part of t1A4C DaSSSA SaPRAg 10 AAA0dO A0A AhR thC summer months, it is necessary to put some of it in cold storage in order to have enough for winter, and in the coures of time it develops various more or less undesirable .fiavors due to long storage. Butter made from sweet cream does not de- velop such fiavors for a much longer time, if at all. si Many months after it has been made it is equal to fresh butter, provided it has been kept un- der proper conditions; hence sweet cream butter is especially suitable for shipping to distant countries, and for long voyages. "S &Ga
 Sweet cream butter is gradually coming into wider favor in the do- mestic market, the Department of Agriculture says, because some con sumers prefer it. It has not so pro- nounced flavor as ordinary butter, but it has mild creamy flavor which is pleasing. -@ E'... .e.

Hints for Sirup Makers

-r The necessity for cleanliness and
 uniformity in making homemade
 cane sirup is evidenced by the fact that of 5000 cans of sirup gathered from various localities, it was found, according to the United States De- partment of Agriculture, that more than one-third had sugared partially, a few had sugared solid, and the sirup in some was too thin to be classed as sirup. Fifty-odd cans con- tained sirup that had been made from frozen cane; in one can out of every ten bee or wasp was found, while many of the cans contained smaller insects. Careful boiling to exactly the right density and the use of strainer when the sirup is pack ed in the can will help to eliminate these difficulties-

Rapid Progress Being Made {..s.
 in Cattle Tuberculosis Wa

An >MA9AG A0oSE@6AS@A~ '" 0A Conspicuous among the effects of
 the United States Department of
 Agriculture to suppress animal dis
 eases during the past year has been
 the excellent progress in tuberculosis
 eradication. The accredited-herd
 plan, under which cattle passing series of official tests receive appro-
 priate recognition, has met with gen.
 eral support from livestock owners and State sanitary officials. During the fiscal year ended June 80, 1920, a total of 695,364 cattle were test ed. Of these, 28,616 reacted and were removed. The number of ac- credited herds at the end of the year was approximately three times as large as on June 80, 1919. The rec ords show also that in addition to fully accredited herds, 16,599 other herds containing 257,577 cattle have passed the first official test, no re- actors being found. Public interest in the accredited-herd activities and the enthusiasm with which cattle owners are, cooperating are shown by the number of applications for testing. The waiting list at times has included nearly 5000 herds.
 A noteworthy development in tu- berculosis eradication is the tenden- cy to free from the disease areas containing many farms During the year. Clay County, Miss, Island County. Wash, and Clatsop County, Greg, made complete tuberculin tests of all cattle within their boun- daries. The eradication of tubercu- losis should proceed even more rapid ly than in the past, when it is taken upon the area basis. ...

 That there is widespread public interest in livestock improvement is shown by the support accorded such activities as cow-testing associa- tions, poultry culling, and the "Bet- ter Siresr-Better Stock" campaign and similar movements of the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture. On June 80, 1920, cow-testing associations in the United States numbered 467, gain of 84 over the corresponding date in 1919. Bull associations increased during the same period from 78 to 120. *.
