mash may be placed in a hopper,
where it will not be wasted, and left
before the chicks at all times.
AS soon as the chickens are old
enough and will eat whole wheat,
cracked corn, or other grains, the
small-sized chick feed may be discon-
tinued and the larger-sized grains fed
instead. In addition to the grain feed,
they must be supplied with grit, oyster
shell, and charcoal at all times, and
the better way is to place these in a
hopper, hanging it in convenient
place where the chicks may help them
selves. If chicks are kept in cOntine-
ment, they must be furnished liberal
supply Of tender, green feed, like
lawn clippings, lettuce leaves, and
such other things as may be available.
Whenever possible, however, chicks
should be given grass range, when
they will supply their own green feed,
catch bugs, worms, etc. Chicks that
are allowed to run on a grass range
are usually strong and thrifty and will
grow much more rapidly than those
that are kept in confinement. In addi-
ton to other feeds, the chickens
growth may be FASTENED considerably
by giving them sour milk to drink.
Chickens are very fond of milk in any
form and will eat and drink liberal
supply of it. 1t may be fed either
sweet or sour but the latter is more
desirable Sour milk will help to keep
chickens healthy, and is one of the
best things that can be fed to promote
rapid growth and development. When
milk is fed the amount of meat scrap
in the mash may be reduced one-half
or left out entirely.

COWPEAS CHOICE
FEED FOR STOCK
Crop Is of Great Importance for
Selling, Hay, Silage and
Pasturage.
USEFUL TO INCREASE HUMUS
Farmers Bulletin Points Out Different
Methods of Growing and Harvest
ing 1t for Each of Its Vari-
Gus Uses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Few crops can be utilized in as
great a variety Of ways as cowpeas.
For centuries they have been grown
for human food in Asia, Africa and in
the Mediterranean region Of Europe.
In this country, particularly in the
southern states, the crop is common
ly used for this purpose, but its most
important use by far is in the feeding
Of live stock, being utilized for soiling,
hay, silage and pasture. 1t is also of
great value as green-manure crop to
Increase the humus and nitrogen con-
tent of the soil upon which it is grown.
These are points brought out in Farm
ars' Bulletin 1853, ''Cowpeas: Utiliza-
.ion," recently published by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
which discusses not only the utiliza-
ton of the crop, but the methods of
growing and harvesting it for each Of
Its various uses.
Have High Food Value.
Cowpeas are not grown for seed
more generally because Of the uncer-
tainty of the crop, the expense Of har-
vesting and the comparatively low
yield obtained. In localities well suit
ed to production it will be found
highly profitable to grow cowpea seed
on large scale, especially if the best
machinery for handling the crop is
used The seed has a high feeding
value, but is rarely cheap enough to
be used as feed. It can be stored for
a considerable length of time without
much danger Of loss of vitality. As it
is subject to attacks from insects, es-
pecially the cowpea weevil, the seed
produced in southern states should be
placed in cold storage, the bulletin
recommends.
Cowpea hay is an excellent forage
for all kinds Of stock. Even the straw
obtained from threshing the peas for
seed is q valuable stock feed. AS
rule cowpeas should not be cut for hay
before the pods begin to turn yellow.
The best quality is produced and the
hay cures most readily if the vines
are cut when most of the pods are full
grown and considerable part Of them
matured. If cut before this stage the
vines are watery and difficult to cure,
while If left too late before cutting
there will be an unnecessary loss Of
leaves in handling and the stems will
be tough and woody. The hay is
somewhat difficult to cure. but with

CONTROL GRAPEVINE LOOPER
Green Worm Is Sometimes Destruc-
tive to Garden and Arbor Grapes
Kill BY Spraying.

The grapevine looper, green worm
about an inch and half long, some
times destructive to garden and arbor
grapes and to Virginia creeper, has
been found by United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture observers doing
some damage to vineyards in the
Chautauqua belt along Lake Erie: The
worm ordinarily feeds from early IN
June until the middle Of July.
1t may be killed By spraying. A
solution Of IA pounds of powdered
arsenate of lead to 30 gallons Of
liquid has been found effective. The
poison may be used in water or may
be combined with bordeaux mixture
used to control fungous disease. A
spray application directed primarily
against the grapevine rootworm and
the grape-berry moth, Immediately
after the blossoms fall, incidentally
controls the grapevine looper.

from members who are engaged In
various club activities, telling their
experiences and results, also form
part Of the program.
The boys decided to enroll in a pig
club this year and the girls to take
up sewing club work. A committee
has been appointed for each group to
secure new members. It is planned
to put on demonstration by each sec
ton of the club at the state fair next
autumn.
The local leader Of the club Is a
rural teacher and the work is done
under the direction of the county
agent, who has already received re-
quests from other communities near
by asking how they could form sim
liar clubs. Such a club has the ad-
vantage Of interesting the boys and
girls of community in local prob
lens and will probably be the means
