WHITE ANTS lNJuRE TlMBERs.
Insects Enter Wood Wherever Il Come.
In Contact With Damp Earth
and Eat Into Beams. ~!

Winged white ants are often OBJ
served flying about houses in spring,
and are sometimes supposed to have
come in from outside. The bureau Of
entomology of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture explains that
these winged insects really are Matched
inside the buildings, and usually are
to be taken as Indicating nests Of
wingless white ants working destruc-
ton in the timbers.
These insects, which really are not
properly ants, enter the wood wher-
ever 1t comes in contact with damp
earth, and often eat into the center Of
an upright beam without manifesting
their presence on the outside until the
wood is entirely ruined, and possibly
a settling and cracking Of the build
ing has resulted.
The department urges that build
ings be constructed with such founda-
lions that no wood touches the ground,
or II 1t is necessary to use wood, that
it be impregnated with tar creosote.
Concrete floors should be laid on. a
gravel base to prevent dampness and
cracking, and where cracks occur they
should be promptly filled.

UNIFORM PRODUCTS FAVORED
Find Better Market, Bring Higher
Prices and Are Handled at Less
Expense Than Others.

Without uniform standards for farm
produce there is no recognized basis
for the business Of buying and selling,
says the bureau Of markets, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Standardization of products gives
seller and purchaser a common Ian
guage and set quality upon which
prices may be compared and fixed. Ex-
perience has shown that the products
which are sold by grade find a better
market, bring letter prices, and can be
handled at less. expense than those sold
without reference to standards. Stand
ards have already been fixed for many
farm commodities, such as American
Upland cotton, shelled corn; wheat,
oats, and for small fruit containers.
These Federal standards apply only
when the product. is intended for in.
terstate or foreign ccS,merce. It is
highly important to secure state CO
operation so that the provisions that
apply to few products will apply to
all that are offered for sale.

WERE OTHERS IN The FIELD
School Superintendent Learned That
He Was Not Alone. In His
Devotion to Fair One. 81

The superintendent Of schools in a
small Indiana town recently persuaded
the school board to revoke It's ruling
to employ only single women as teach
ers in the school. At the first school
at which he called he tried to joke
the young teachers. "Now you'll all
be getting married" he laughed.
Shave any Of you been getting any
proposals since the ruling was
passed?" 5 Sf
Accidentally his eyes happened to
meet those Of 1 the young teacher in
whom every one knew he was inter-
ested. She>thought. the question was
addressed to her and blushingly an.
1swered, "Just three others besides

Amid the r9ars Of the Other, teach

plenty Of light, pure air and sunshine,
and protect them from dampness and
storms Of all kinds. ~
Chicks should never be crowded in
brood coops, for crowding will cause
them to become overheated, resulting
in improper growth and sometimes in
dead chicks. NJ
Sickness or disease usually starts
in sunclean quarters, and In such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once
week, and clean shavings, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and If found they should be
gotten rid of at once. Farmers Bull
letin lilo gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds Of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning, giving as large quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists Of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply Of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty OF It
If they have free range, but If kept In
confinement, lawn grass, beet tops,
cabbage, lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided 80 the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour
milk can be obtained 1t should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
is regarded better for them. When
this is given the amount Of beef scrap
in the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty Of fresh, clean water Is
absolutely necessary, and In hot
weather 1t should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been. thor
oughly cleaned. III 1.i
The bulletin emphasizes the impor-
lance Of free range and shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
IL chicks are to grow rapidly and de.

The enthusiasm with which many.
poultry raisers. particularly begin
ners, start in the spring with young
chicks sometimes lags as the season
advances and the chicks get old
enough to shift for themselves. If care
is neglected at this period, however,
success is improbable. The baby
chicks may be smart little fellows
from strong, vigorous parent stock.
and they may have been brooded care
fully for the first two or three weeks,
but unless they receive proper care
and management during their later
growing period they will not develop
properly, and many Of them will be
lost by sickness and disease. This Ia

Suitable Food and Care.
The chief essentials to the proper
growth Of chicks, according to the bull
letin, are good coops, or houses, clean
illness, proper feed and water, shade
and free range. Growing chicks
should be provided with large, roomy
coops or houses, which will give them
a comfortable place to stay at night
and during stormy weather. The bull
letin suggests no particular kind of
house. but states 1t should be so built
that 1t will provide the chicks with

.PuREBRED FEMALES FAVORED D
In Opinion Of Specialists Number Of
Purebreds OF Both Sexes 10 Rap
G idly Increasing.

Y h. y ih
According to figures announced by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, live stock owners in the
United States show tendency toward
purebred female animals as well as
toward purebred sires. In fact, the
use Of .well-bred sires appears to In
crease the use Of good females. Dur
ing the period October i, 1919, to
March 81, 1920, the quality Of female
stock kept in herds and focks headed
by purebred sires, was 4s.3 per dent
purebred, and rs per cent scrub. The
remaining number were grades Of
crossbfeds. Later figures covering the
period October /, 1913, to December
81, 1920, show that the number Of
purebred females kept under CORE
spending conditions had increased to
$50 per cent and scrubs had fallen
to 81.
These figures are based on a knowl-
edge Of the breeding Of nearly 100000
head OF animals and poultry. In the
opinion Of department live stock spe-
cialists, the more general use Of pure
breds Of both sexes on farms in the
United States Is increasing. In about
year, it appears, the increase in the
use Of purebred females by purebred-
sire users has been at least 2 per cent.
