DESERT ISLE IN BIG CITY
Woman Writer Satisfied With Her Res

PHILADELPHIA.

Katharine Haviland Taylor, the nov
elist, says she's found a desert island
and peace right in the middle of Phila-
delphia. 1t happened quite accident
ally. Recently she went apartment
hunting with very little knowledge of
the residential districts of Philadel-
phia. She found an apartment and
rented it because there were two limou-
sines out in front, and so she judged
that the street was all right. One of
those limousines belongs to broker
or rags ana paper, she learned later,
and the other to On Italian peanut
vender. She had moved into the his
toric district called "Helrs Half Acre."
"But I'm glad was misled," says Miss
Taylor. II am not bothered by social
obligations and have lots of time for
work. We're never bored. Shooting
privileges go with every lease, and my
vocabulary is charging all the time"
Miss Taylor cannot be persuaded to
move, for she is convinced that in this
retreat she will be able to do more
and better work than If she were liv-

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SIRES
Since Movement Was Started There
Have Been Many Animals and
Fowls Enrolled.

Recent figures on the enrolment Of
animals and poultry in the better
Sires-bctter stock" campaign, which
is being supervised by the United
States department Of agriculture, show
that since the movement was started
in October, 1919, there have been 174,-
1914 animals and 264,945 chickens or
other poultry enrolled. During this
time 3,57G certificates of membership
in the campaign have been issued by
the department. In order to secure a
certificate, a stock breeder or poultry
man must fill out q blank, which is
supplied by the bureau Of animal in
dustry, stating that he will use only
purebred sires. A report recently is
sued by the department shows that
ID states and two Professionalism

ment with 1,130 certificates issued, but
Nebraska has the largest number of

AIM TO ANALYzE

If the farmer confines his attention

almost sure to form wrong opinion
of the actual market conditions, say
market specialists of the United

May Vary From Day to Gay.
Bulk of sales figures should always
be studied in conjunction with the
quotations on grades which are based
on weight and quality. Th@ bulk of
sales figures may vary widely from
day to day without indicating that the
market is unstable. This situation
frequently arises from limited trade
in loW-grade hogs on the same day
that high-grade animals are finding
ready sale. The bulk of sales quota
ton for such a day will rench rels,
lively high figure. On tho following
day larger number Of lOW-grade ami
mails may be included in the sales and
the higher grades neglected, with the
result that the bulk of sales quota
tons will be far below that Of the
preceding report. On sessions when
the average quality Of the animals Of
fered Is low the bulk Of sales report
will reflect this condition, and the
farmer who has animals ready for
shipment may be misled as to the
actual state of affairs, unless he takes
into account the other factors which
have an important bearing. Because
the bulk of sales report from one mar
ket is much lower than that from an
other city he may decide to ship his
product to the market which appears
to offer the highest prices. AS a mat
ter of fact for the grade that he has
to offer, the market quoting the lower
bulk figures may offer the higher price
to him. 1t is undoubtedly true that
country buyers often take advantage
Of low bulk of sales reports to depresS
purchasing prices in their localities.

Sweet Clover Hay Curing in the Cock.

in Department CiIvuar 1853, Annual
White Sweet Glover and Strains of
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
The nature of this new variety, &C
cordng to the bulletin, Is such as to
possibilities. Probably its greatest use
for hay will be as an emergency crop.
When a stand of clover has been win
ter killed, or when for any reason a
be short, this variety can be seeded
during the spring and, provided lime
and the proper bacteria are present,
will yield good hay crop. Where rain
fall is sufficient it may be seeded even
after wheat harvest. It makes good
growth the first season, and expert
ments in Iowa and Michigan have
shown that it may be seeded with
cut. 1t grows rapidly, and for this
reason will keep ahead of weeds.
The annual has smaller and more
woody root than the biennial form,
and crown or resting buds are not
formed. The stems, branches, leaves,
flowers, pods and seeds are indistin-
guishabe from those of the biennial
form, but during the season of seed
ing the plant grows more rapidly,
blossoms, fruits and dies. 1t blooms
early and ripens seed in August when
seeded early. Seed of the annual form
is still very scarce and high priced
and, since it cannot be distinguished
from seed of the ordinary biennial,
should be purchasd with caution.

Shows Quality and Grades.

To be Of practical use to the farmer,
the bulk of sales quotations must be
considered with the knowledge of what
is being offered for hogs of various
grades and qualities Studied in this
way the bulk Of sales reports are of
material value, for they show the quail
ity and grades that make up the prin-
cipal supply at any market for any
period. Bulk quotations also give a
more lucid idea Of general trade con-
ditions on those sessions Of the mar
ket when the values from the opening
to the closing vary widely.
The Qualification and Standardized
ton Of market reports and classified
t.0frs throughout the whole country is
one Of the big tasks on which the bu-
reau of markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Is working.
When this has been accomplished and
the livestock trade begins to grade its
receipts with reasonable uniformity
the need for bulk of sales quotations
will not be nearly so great as at

fiockS of from 10 to 25 upon farms In
the Middle West and in the South.
Domesticated guinea fowl are Of
three varieties-Pearl, White and
Lavender The Pearl is by far the
most popular. 1t has purplish-gray
plumage regularly dotted or "pearled"
with white and is so handsome that
frequently the feathers are used for
ornamental purposes.
Guinea hens usually begin laying in
April or May, those in the South laying
earlier than those in the North. A
short time before the opening of the
laying period the hens with their
mates begin searching for suitable
nesting places among the weeds and
brush along the fences or In the fields.
In this search the male takes as ac-
tive an interest as his mate, and when
a suitable location Is found both help
to dig out the nest and make it into
suitable shape.
Each day as the hen goes to the nest
to lay the male accompanies her and
remains nearby until she comes off.
Should anyone approach he shrieks in
warning and thus betrays the where
abouts of the nest, which might other
wise be difficult to locate. If several
guinea hens are mated with one male
they usually all lay in the same nest
| but sometimes hen sitter mating will
wander off by herself to make her own
nest. At times a male bird, after help
| ing one hen to make her nest VIII
! then desert her and pair off with an
other hen to make another nest.
From 20 to &c. and often more, eggs
are laid before the guinea hen becomes
/ broody, at which time she can be easily
broken of her broodiness by removing
the eggs from her nest, when she will
soon begin laying again. If not al
lowed to sit, guinea hens will continue
to lay throughout the summer, laying
from 40 to GO and in some cases 100
eggs during the season. say poultry
specialists of United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Ordinary hens are used, commonly,
to incubate guinea eggs, but guinea
hens, turkey hens, and incubatOrs also
can be employed successfully. The
usual setting for guinea hen is about
IA eggs; for hen Of the general pur-
pose breeds, such as a Plymouth Rock
IS eggs; and for turkey hen, about
"a eggs. The incubation period for
guinea eggs is % days, although fire.
quently they start Matching on the 26tl
day and are all Matched by the end OF

If the nest in which the guinea hen

turbance, she may be trusted with q
setting of eggs, and more than likely
will hatch out every egg that Is fer.
tile, provided all hatch at about the
same time. AS soon as the guinea
chicks begin to leave the nest the her
will leave with them, and any eggs
that are late in Matching are ruined
unless they are placed in an incubator
