PLAN 70 ERADICATE SORREL
Apply Ground Limestone, Hydrated
Lime or Quickllme-Rotation
Of Crops Is Good.

A good treatment for sheep sprrel,
according to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture specialists, Is to
apply ground limestone two tons per
acre, hydrated lime one and one-half
ton per acre, or quicklime one ton per
acre. The quicklime can be used to adj
vantage by shaking with water and
sprinkling the mixture freely over the
sorrel. The liquid will injure the
leaves as well as help correct soil acid
ity. Sorrel can be destroyed by spray
ing with solution of sulphate Of iron
'peras), two pounds to the gallon
later. The treatment will not per-
manently injure grass and will destroy
the weed II repeated as often as the
sorrel tries to send out new leaves.
Spraying Is useful where sOrrel occurs
as patches In good stand of grass
and around rocks and fences. Iron
sulphate is deadly to clovers and to
many brOad-leaved weeds, but Is not
injurious to animals or the soil. Sor-
rel can easily be destroyed by a short
rotation Of crops. If possible, the rota-
ton should be arranged so that the
soil will be cultivated at different sea-
sons Of each year.

or all grain feeds usually supplied
to farm poultry, corn has been, and
still is, the most popular. This prob
ably is due to its abundance and rel
alive cheapness, and because 1t is the
most relished Of all the grains. Corn
Is heating and fattening, and when
fed to fowls as the only feed, fat rath-
er than eggs is the usual result. 1t
should be balanced with meat, bone,
bran, and such feeds as are rich in
heterogeneous matter, in which corn Is
deficient. When corn is fed to laying
hens that have opportunity to take
plenty of exercise and to obtain in
sects and green feed, more satisfac-
tory results are likely to be obtained.
1t may be fed more freely during the
winter than Guring the summer, say
poultry specialists of United States
Department Of Agriculture.
Wheat ls Safest
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone. 1t 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 with corn to
increase the proportion of protein.
Wheat contains little more protein
than corn, about the same amount of
carbohydrates, but less fat, and on
the whole Is considered 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 pres
ent time. Wheat screenings Of
good grade can frequently be pur-
chased and fed to advantage. OF
course, there is always the danger Of
introducing weed seeds on the farm,
Burnt wheat" seldom can be fed ad-
vantageOusly, the difference in price
between this and good wheat being
usually too slight to warrant Its use.
Oats Needed for Variety.
Oats, while not as good as corn or
wheat, are necessary for variety.
They contain more indigestible fiber
than the other grains. Hulled oats
are relished by poultry and are excel

the soil may be stirred between the
rows and the plants kept growing rap
idly so as to attain reasonable size
before the heated term Of early sum-
mer sets In.
In the North 1t Is customary to SOW
the seed broadcast about the 25th of
July on land from which early peas,
early potatoes, or some other early
crop has been removed. The land Is
raked smooth and the small seeds SIM
ply scattered over the surface, then
covered by again raking the soil. No
cultivation is required where the seeds
are sown broadcast.
In the southern states turnips are
frequently destroyed by plant lice that
suck the juices Of the leaves. These
insects are rather difficult to control,
spraying with nicotine preparations be-
ing about the only remedy.
Turnips stand considerable cold, but
those that are to be placed in pits or
in the cellar for winter use should not
be allowed to freeze before being
stored. If they become frozen In stOr-
age, they should not be disturbed until
they thaw naturally.

quarts Of crude carbollc acid. Apply
with spray pump or brush. This, Il
properly put on, not only kills the
mites, but destroys all their eggs and
makes the house or any building where
it Is used fresh and clean.
Cleanliness is Of the greatest i'm
portance in keeping lice, mites, fleas,
and other insects under control. The
poultry houses, rOosts, dropping
boards, brood coops, and all other
places that the fowls occupy should be
kept clean. An abundance Of light and
fresh air should be provided While
these things cannot be depended on to
keep away lice and mites, they make
II easier to determine when the pests
are present and help to keep the
fowls healthy, vigorous, and better
able to withstand an attack of lice
and mites. Sick or diseased fowls
are always the first victims Of these
parasites, which makes 1t important
that the fowls be kept healthy.

BETTER PROFITS IN POULTRY
Specialists Of Department Of Agricul-
ture Give Reasons for Favorino
Standard BREEDS.

Here are five reasons given by spe-
ciaIists of the United SiWtes Depart
meht of Agriculture for keeping
standardized poultry:
standardized poultry is more uni
form I'm size, type and color.
Standardized poultry is more at
tractive in appearance and appeals
more strongly to purchasers of stock
and eggs.
STANDARDIZED poultry offers a
greater combination Of practical and
useful qualities suitable to the needs
Of the farmer and poultry keeper.
The products Of standardized fowls
are more uniform in quality, are in
greater demand, and bring better
prices.
STANDARDIZED poultry means great
or success and better profits.

ly too expensive. When they can be
obtained at q reasonable price In COM
parison with other grains they may be
fed quite freely.
Barley does not seem to be relished
by hens, but may be used to give va
riety to the grain ration. 1t has lit
tie more protein than corn and little
less than oats.
Buckwheat is quite liked by fowls,
but Is not widely fed. 1t may be used
to vary the ration, but Is usually too
high In prize to be economical. Buck
wheat middlings are rich in protein
and make a good mixture with corn

Rye is not fed largely, and does not

In the southern states they are plant

this gives a fairly constant supply Of
each crop. When crop fails SIM
liar crop should be substituted. as
for example, oats for wheat, soy beans

WILD TURKEYS ARE

Bains, La.--Edward Butler of this
place has been experimenting with
the raising Of wild turkeys on ais
farm, and has made a report 10 the
Conservation Department Of the State
that this seasons hatch was good.
with no loss from disease. Such
losses as Mr.. Butler suffered were
from the natural enemies Of poultry.
principally the horned owl, and once
his plans to check this pFeying en- his
flccks are developed, he anticipates no
further trouble. Mr. Butler has found
much pleasure in raising these wild
turkeys and they have caused him no
trouble. He has. endeavored to raise
them under conditions analogous to
those in the wild state, which proaa-
bly, accounts for the absence OF dis
ease in his flock. One OF two OF his
broeds have reverted to the wild state
entirely and are rarely seen around
the farm.
Some Of the Butler Stock has been
distributed In the parishes OF West
FeliciaDa and East Baton Rouge, and
he has other surplus stock On hand.
Wild turkeys have bcep successfully
raised in different parts OF the coun-
try, but generally on SO large scale
that the average farmer could not
follow, and probably with consider.
able capital back OF the experiment
most OF the propagating pens being
lnhcfaA an large cluh reserves. but
MI. Butler has demonstrated that tho
turkeys can be raised on the average
farm. The Conservation Department
Is much Interested In the propagation
or this bird, ana Will cooperate with
reliable persons Who desire . buetnsss
which promises much plsesars aud
