leopard, who had escaped from the
city park zoo. Two weeks had passed
and the vicious native of the jungles
of India was still at large, a fact
known to thousands living in the
vicinity who were kept in constant
fear and terror.
And then came the word from the
little town of Wentworth, fifteen miles
from the city, that farmer there had
lost hog in mysterious night raid
upon his hog pen. Upon investigation
there were still other evidences dis
covered that tended to prove the pres
ence of the leopard in that section of
country.
1t didn't take long for the citizens
Of Wentworth to awake to the real
seriousness Of the situation, to the i'm
minent danger not only to stock but
to human life. Juniper, the black
leopard, was at large, and he was
hiding somewhere In the woods and
thickets about their little village. He
simply had to be discovered and
killed at once, that was all.

poultry pay" shown by the United
States Department of Agriculture at
the International Livestock EXPOSE
ton, Chicago, December 2 to 0.
Two pens of live chickens are
shown. One lot of IL hsns was not
culled. and ate in one year 900
pounds of feed, costing 5000. The
IL hens laid 100 dozen eggs during
the year. Contrastsd with this lot
is one Of hens which were culled,
and which laid the same number OF
eggs but ate only 500 pounds of
feed, at a cost of $3.50. The lot
of ~ hens that was not culled ate so
per cent more feed than the lot that
was culled and produced no more
eggs. The extra cost of feed. how
ever. is but one of the larger costs.
Others are the extra labor, extra
housing room, and extra capital in
vested.
To enable the poultrymyan to Gull
his hens properly the exhibit gives
the points to be looked for when de
termining poor layer or a good
layer. These points are quickly
learned and are means of incr asing
profits from poultry.

Farm Cow Now Making 20 Cents II
Day.

Lexington. Ky. Dec.-Thousands
of Kentucky farmers who are keep
ing a f.w COWS from which to sell
cream are facing the nee ssity Of
cutting down on rich protein feeds
and using only those that are grown
on the farm in order to get fair re-
turn from their animals during the
coming months, dairymen at the
College OF Agriculture say. At pres
ent prices being paid for butterfat,
the average farm COW is returning
about 25 cents a day With such
feeds as cottonseed meal and lin
seed oil meal selling around SO a
hundred pounds and mill feeds and
bran ranging around $40 ton, the
farmer cannot feed them and have
anything left to pay him for the
work he spends on HIS cows. The
D. Il the farmer can do under pres
ent conditions is to supplement his
roughness of silage and legume hay
with grain raised on the farm such
as, broken ear corn, shelled corn,
corn and cob meal, II this can be
crushed, or crushed barley.

FARM DEPARTMENT.

the fertility in this material is need
ed
Half the fertilizing value of ma
nure is in the liquid portion which
may be easily and cheaply saved by
using plenty of bedding. 1t has been
estimated that by this one means
alone, Todd county farmers last year
saved 1000 tons of manure more
than ordinarily would have been
saved. The best farmers in the state
now keep manure in stables or feed
ing sheds until it can be spread on
the fields, instead OF throwing IT in
niles outside where it teaches and
heats and loses much of its fcrtiliz-
ing value. A well bedded and tramp
ed stall will keep manure in good
condition.
MANY farmers in the state now
spread the manure on their farms as
fast as it is hauled to the fields The
old practice of throwing the mater
ial in small piles to be spread later
is expensive and wasteful. Most
farmers use light application to
cover as many acres as possible. An
application of five tons to the acre
has been found to give good results.
Most of the farm manure i'm Ken
lucky is used on tobacco or corn land.
This makes it necessary to spread it
as fast as it is produced in the win
ter or hold it until spring before
spreading. On level land, and es-
pecially where there is a sod, winter
spreading can b. done without loss.
A few farmers make a practice Of
top dressing young grass and clover
with manure. This helps consider
ably in getting and keeping a stand. y

Best Season Here For Taking Farm
Inventory.

Lexington, KY, Dec. This is the
best season of the year to take the
farm inventory, according to w. D..
Nichols, head of the farm economies
department of the College of Agri-
culture, The supply of feeds is low,
salable crops usually have been mar
keted by this time and little work
and money have been expended on
the new years crop. The four or
five hours spent in taking the in
ventory make up about the most
profitable half day of work that the
farmer can put in during the year.
The inventory should include a list
of real estate, livestock, implements
and machinery, feed and supplies on
hand and all other property used in
the interest of the farm business, to
each item of which is assigned a
proper value.

ture department Of the Collega OF
Agriculture. The scale attacks the
trunks, limbs, twigs and fruit and
often cuts the yield of apples heavily

with lime sulphur at this time OF the
year when the leaves are off the
trees is the best way to control the
pest. One part of the commercial
lime sulphur should be used to eight

In an exhibit entitled Pork pro-
duction," shown by the L. 5. De-
partment of Agriculture at the ln-
tenational Liaa Stock Exposition,
Chicago. Dec. to 8, the department
gives the essential points for raising
swint economically.
Good breeding stock, proper mat
ing. and careful feeding of the brood
sows are all important, but a point
in hog raising that should receive
more attention, becaui it is often
neglected, is the necessity of keep
ing the young pigs growing continu-
ously from the moment of birth to
maturity.
Ev n before the pigs are weaned
they should have access to corn in
self-feeders as a supplement to the
sow's milk. AS soon as they are
weaned tha pigs should be kept on
full feed. either by self-feeder or by
hand, Approved types of self-fe d.
ers. hayracks, troughs, and water
fountains are shown in the exhibit

Research Program for Home Eco
Monies Work Outlined.


DR.. T.. ID. Ball director of scien-
tific work, United States Department
of Agriculture, represented Secretary
Wallace before the home economics
section of the Association of Land
grant Colleges, which held their thir-
ty-sixth annual convention in Wash
ington, D. c., November 1928. Doc
tor Ball said in part. speaking of the
proposed new bureau of home eco
nOmics:
I 1.-THE first thing the Department
of Agriculture has to do in the or
ganization of a bureau Of home eco
Monies is to get that organization
approved by Congress, and the bill is
now befors the committee of the
House for consideration. If the
change is approved, then the next
step. as | see it, is to gather togeth-
er committee representing the very
best thought of home economies and
related lines of work that we can
find here in America. This commit
tee would have two matt RS to con-
slider
"A program of research work must
be considered. because the work OF
the department as a whole organiza-
tion uust in the future, even more
than in the past, be along research
lines. Now is the time to very ma
terially strengthen the scope of re-
search work in the department ac-
tiyities and in home economics. The
second and more difficult function
of the committee will he 20 select
someone to lead the work. re-
search program depends on the indi-
vidual who directs and inspires the
work. In the final development OF
home economics in the Department
of Agriculture it seems very likely
that it will be a bureau which VIII
have the organization and direction
nj work that will be carried on in
considerable number of other bu-
reausi
1--WE must think of home econom-
les work as a thing as big and proau
in its scope as the whole Department
of Agriculture is. 1t serves a field
ne big as the field of the Agriculture
Department. 1t is entitled, when 1t
comes to it's own, to the recognition
that the service to agriculture mas
r ceived, and feel that this recoghi-
