NO BEST BREED OF POULTRY
There Are Three Glasses Specially
Adapted to Production OF Eggs
and Meat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultureo
There is no best breed Of poultry.
That, at least, is the opinion OF men
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture who have been studying
the business for years, and have had
experience with all varieties OF all
breeds in America. To 60 among
your friends and ask for advice about
the kind of chickens to start win
would be about as productive OF con-
fiicting views as if you asked for help
in buying a motor car or typewriter.
Every man has his likings, and some
have good reasons for them, but in the
end the beginner will have to be the
Judge; wherefore the opinion OF the
department specialists will be about
the best guide: Keep only one varl-
ETY. Of breed, and select the breed
that suits your purpose best. BE sure
of one thing-have a standardized
male at the head of the flock.
These are the reasons: Standard
bred fowls produce uniform products
which bring higher prices.
Standardized stock and eggs sold
for breeding purposes, bring higher
prices than market quotations.
Standardized fowls can be exhibit
ed, and thus compete for prizes.
Eggs and stock from mOngrel fowls
are not sold for breeding purposes.
Mongrel fowls are not exhibited in
poultry shows or expOsitions.
General-purpose breeds are best
suited to most farms where the pro-
duction of both eggs and meat is de-
sired. The four most popular repre-
sentatives of this class are the Ply.
mouth Rock. Wyandotte, Orpington
and Rhode Island Red.
All these breeds, with the exception
of the Orpington, are Of American or
igin. They are characterized by hav-
ing yellow skin and legs, and lay
brown-shelled eggs. The Orpington is
Of English origin, has white skin.

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 tine United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Just when to cut alfalfa and how
many times to harvest a crop in one
season are questions which have re-
ceived studied attention from experts
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture and the various expert
ment stations in producing
states. Ordinarily it Is 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
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,
but is only means of getting hay.

FIND ASPHALT By ACCIDENT
Discovered in Switzerland and Used
for Purpose Of Extracting Valu-
able Bitumen.

Asphalt, though covering thousands
of miles of roads In all countries, was
discovered quite by accident. In the
middle of the last century 1t was
found in Switzerland in its natural
state, and used for the purpose Of e1'
tracing the valuable store Of bitumen
1t contained. In time 1t was noticed
that pieces of rock which fell from
the wagons, and were crushed by the
wheels, formed q very fine road sur
face when half melted by the heat Of
the sun.
An experiment was made and road
of asphalt laid in Paris. 1t was so
successful that the new road material
became adopted through all the big
towns Of Europe.
All sorts Of materials have been
tried since, from rubber to seaweed.
1t is very likely. in fact. that In the
future the streets Of our big cities
will be paved with some form Of rub
Der mixture which will be practically
noiseless. Very extensive experiments
have already been carried out with
such a mixture.
In New York several streets are
paved with steel, and steel road has
been in use in Valencia, in Spain. for
the last 20 years. Perhaps the most
curious material for a road Is sea.
weed. This compressed into solid
blocks, is used to pave the streets Of
Baltimore. These seaweed blocks are
bound with wire and dipped into boil
Ing tar before being put to use.

BOY SCOUTS IN HUNGARY.

Scouting is ten years old In Hun
gary and, though the war stopped its
growth for a time, the movement was
recognized and put on a firm basis
In September, 1919. In it's earlier
stages the Hungarian scout associa-
ton was, like the German, a semi
military organization, but with its re-
establishment it has rejected the mil
itary element and founded itself on
the British and American nonmilitary
basis. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Hun
gary was severe blow to the progress
OF the movement inasmuch as more
than 90 per cent Of the Magyar troops
are now in occupied territories. Off
GERS, money and equipment are badly
needed. Some Of the boy scouts have
no money even to purchase shoes,
much less scout uniforms. Most of
the leaders are professional men or
clerks who have hard enough strug-
gle to earn their own living and vet
they devote time and often money to
the cause.
We are all the more proud" writes
a Hungarian old scout, that DESPITE
hardships and sufferings, our scouts
unfalteringly. with strong soul and
In real scout spirit, follow the path
which leads to our great goal-good
citizenship and real humanity"
The Hungarian boys are particularly
anxious to be included in the Inter-
national Brotherhood Of Scouts and
oner and bespeak in turn good will,
understanding and support in the
spirit Of true scouting.

GULL POOR PRODUCING HENS
Work Should Be Started in GUNNER
and During Early Fall Months
Comb ls Indicator.

The hens should be culled out dur
Ing the summer and early fall
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 mott 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 thickly 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 If 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 II the
spread Is greater, together with other
indications mentioned. she is probably
laying.
