Orders by Piqeon-Post.

An entirely practical use of homing
pigeons is reported from England. The
inventor of the system is butchers
son, who employs his birds regularly
to carry orders from outlying districts
presumably where there are no tele-
phones-to his fathers shop. The
plan works excellently.
When the boy goes to collect orders
he takes six of his fastest birds in a
trap with him. After he has gone
mile or two and collected a dozen or
ders he liberates pigeon with the
slips inclosed in little metal case
attached to the birds foot. Before
five minutes have elapsed these or
ders are in the shop.
At the various stages of his round,
which usually takes three hours, the
other birds with more orders are set
free, and by the time the shop is
reached all the orders received by this
pigeon post have been dispatched

After all, the common wild sunflow-
er of Kansas is just useless weed,
and attempts by scientists to make it
anything else so far have failed.
Last fall ten tons of wild sunflow-
ers were put into silo between lay
ers of corn Silage by the dairy depart
ment of the Kansas State Agricultural
college. A feeding test was arranged
early in the winter. Five cows were
fed wild SunflOwer silage, alfalfa hay
and a grain mixture consisting of four
parts corn chop two parts bran and
one part oil meal. Previous to the be-
ginning of tie feeding test the cows
had received corn silage in addition to
the hay and grain.
When changed to the sunflower sill
age they ate sparingly of it and failed
to become accustomed to it. The cows
decreased in milk production and lost
body weight. The average loss of
body weight was &C pounds per head
for the "a days the test was conduct
ed Each had decreased 3.4 pounds in
daily production of milk by the end
of tie period
They were then changed to cane sill
age and in "a days gained % pounds
per head and all but one increased in
milk production.
