INCREASE OF HEssIAN FLY
Parasitic Enemies and Unfavorabls
Weather Tend to Keep Pest With
In Bounds.

If it were not for Its parasitic
enemies and unfavorable weather, the
Hessian fly would increase in such vast
numbers that wheat growing in this
country would be practically i'm
possible inside Of two years. The
United States Department Of Agricul-
,ture, as a result Of recent studies,
now published in Department Bulletin
1908, Rate Of Multiplication Of the
Hessian Fly, byW. tR. McC onnell, found
that the increase in breeding Of the
insect was much higher than had been
before realized. The data collected
afford an explanation for the very
sudden development Of a Hessian fly
outbreak and furnish basis for pre-
dieting more accurately the approach
Of dangerous infestation.

Modern Alice is now Alice Duryca,
the adopted. daughter Of q New York
woman. Six months ago she was one
Of the countless thousands Of little
orphans who are Uncle Sans wards
In the Near East. Adoption, happi-
ness, and fame as a Juvenile star in
the movies came to her in no less
amaxing manner than did the queer
happenings to the story-book Alice.
When the American Commission,
sent out by the Near East Relief to
make a study Of suffering in the
Levant, arrived in Constantinople late
last summer they found conditions
there and the reports Of conditions IN
the famine zones Of Transcaucasia to
be 80 bad that It was determined to
bring back to this country actual mo-
! ton pictures Of the scenes. To soften
the horror and to add interest a story
was written to At them into.

Alice and Mrs Florence Spencer Duryea who has adopted her

Alice was taken from the orphanag-

the commission. She was COMMITTEES
to the care OF Mrs. Florence Cpencer
Duryea, 4 New York woman, MEM
her Of the Commission, and head Of
the Near East Relief Bureau Of
Women's Organizations at National
headquarters in New York. When the
Commission had completed Its labors
and was about to return to this
country, Mrs. Duryea had become SO
fond Of her twelve year old protege
that she adopted her.
The photoplay opens with Alice, q
little American girl whose father is
a relief worker overseas, reading the
famous classic @Alicc in Wonder

stow-away on ship carrying relief
supplies to the Near East.
At Constantinople Alice meets her
father and is taken with him on the
tour Of Transcaucasia, where the
camera reproduces all the scenes
familiar to district in which star
walton, disease, and misery are met
on every hand. Mixed with these
pictures are those of more pleasant
nature, taken inside the gates OF
Near East Relief orphanages, where

PROFIT IN FEEDING STEERS
Excellent Authority Asserts Il Can Be

Prices Next Spring.

That steers can be fed at a profit
this winter Is the belief Of 81. 81. Kill
dee Of Iowa State college, formerly
chief Of the dairy husbandry division,
Minnesota College Of Agriculture.
There are so per cent less cattle In
Iowa feed lots, he says, than a year
ago. Since fewer farmers are feeding
he believes that meat prices are bound
to be higher in the spring. After re-
marking that feeding is the surest way
to ret the greatest margin out Of the
grain crop, he gives this assurance:
"There is no reason for anxiety at
this time over the feeder question,
since cattle purchased now WIN come
out all right"

Amount Of Exercise Mill Get
FER = the Best Results.

The brood SOW needs variety in
her food and exercise. In expert
ments conducted at the North Dakota
Agricultural college under the direc-
ton OF Professor Shepperi it was
found that sows will readily eat alfalfa
hay, and that when this Is fed with
mixture Of about half barley and half
shorts at the rate Of IN pounds daily
for q 2OO-pound sow, splendid results
have been secured. Equal parts Of
barley, oats and bran or shorts also
makes very good feed. Exercise is
also very important. It was found
that the best way to give the grain
feed was to sweep the floor clean and
scatter the grain on 1t. This results
in the sows spending hours on their
fest getting their feed. Observations
Indicate that sows fed a variety Of
foods and given plenty Of exercise are
not likely to produce hairless pigs.

no other festival Of the year do the
people Of this country feel 1t neces-

Christmas and New Years also, but
after the holiday season Is past the

DISEASED CONDITION
Of SEED SWEET CORN
Much Damage Done by Ear
Worm and Rot MoIds.
Growers Urged to Exercise Greatest
Care to Insure Quality Of Next
Years Supply-Test Will
Rag-DoII Germinator.

Because Of the damage which has
been done to sweet corn throughout
the Middle West this season by the
ear worm, followed by root and ear
rot molds, corn growers are urged by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture to exercise every possible
care to insure the quality Of their
seed for next years crop. These
molds have in many cases rendered
a considerable percentage of the ears
wholly unfit for any purpose. Other
ears, but partly overrun with molds,
are unfit for seed but should be used
for feed only after the moldy part OF
the ear is shelled off. This applies
especially to the corn which has been
grown for seed. In certain fields In
the corn belt the damage has been so
great that the corn was rendered unfit
for harvesting as seed, practically no
ears being found which were not in
jured. =
These observations and reports to
the department are all based on the
evident and conspicuous defects tha'
have been found In sweet corn and
dent varieties. It is known. more
over, that many of the APPARENT!
good ears in these damaged fields arc
diseased and unless special precau
lions are taken, for example testing
with <hn ROO doll porminatOr they
may pass as good seed corn.
During the past three years 1t has
been found that much Of the sweet
corn seed which has been purchased ir
the open market has been badly In
fected with mold and carrot organ
isms. The quality Of seed obtainable
for use next spring depends, then,
upon how the seed grown last year
has been cared for, and upon the at
tention given the selection OF seed
from this seasons crop.

TOO MANY POULTRY LOAFERs
Best Plan to Weed Out Nonproducsrs
and Keep Only Good Laying and
Breeding Fowls.

One reason some folks complain that
Chickens don't pay" is because they
compel one or two good hens to sup
port a dozen lazy ones. There are
some deadbeats in every flock, just as
there are also some excellent laying
and breeding hens.
The thing to do is always to weed
out the least desirable fowls, then keep
only the best ones and keep them well
In good house, well managed and
cared for.

dealers, who buy the birds alive and
dress them for the various city mar
.kets. In such cases practically all the
turkey raisers sell to these dealers,
who often send buyers out into the
country to gather up drove Of several
hundred birds by stopping at each
farm as they pass, weighing whatever
turkeys the farmer may have to sell,
and adding them to those already col
lected.
Turkeys to be killed and dressed on
the farm should first be deprived Of
feed for "a hours, but given plenty Of
fresh, clean water in order to clean
the crop and intestines Of all feed.
When ready to kill, the bird should be
hung up by the feet; holding the bird
in one hand, q sharp, narrow-bladed
knife is used to sever the veins in the
throat by making q small cut inside
the mouth on the right side Of the
throat, at the base Of the skull. After
making this cut and bleeding begins,
the knife il thrust up through the
groove in the roof Of the mouth and
into the brain at the back part Of the
skull. The bird gives peculiar
squawk, the feathers are loosened by
quivering Of the muscles, and death
is instantaneous. s4 @e.g.,
In dry-picking, the feathers should
be plucked Immediately, and II the
bird has been properly stuck they
come out very easily. The tail and
large wing feathers are removed first,
after which the body feathers are
pulled out. When the turkeys are to
be marketed locally or are to be
shipped but a short distance, they are
cooled to temperature Of about 50
degrees Fahrenheit by hanging in the
open air, provided the weather is cold
enough, otherwise they are plunged
into ice water and kept there until
thoroughly cooled.
After cooling they are packed un'
drawn in boxes or barrels. It Is In
advisable for the producer without
proper refrigerating facilities to shiI
dressed turkeys, as losses from i'm
proper cooling and from their being
exposed to warm weather during tran
sit are liable to occur. Aside from
this It is seldom profitable to ship tur.
keys any great distance except in ear
load lots; when this is done the, tur
keys are cooled to 81 degrees Fahren
heit, packed in boxes or barrels, and
shipped in refrigerator cars.

cold the water should be slightly
warmed. A thin slop of bran and mid

be from a week to ten days. as .,1
It is Of the greatest Importance In
raising pigs for the market that they
gain weight as rapidly as possible.
The first opportunity to force the pigs
comes when they are few weeks
old. up to this time they have been
living solely on their dams milk. for
which no perfect substitute has been
found. After about three weeks the
young pigs begin to develop an appe-
title for some accessory feed to sup
plement the sow's milk, and they
should be given some additional food.
The pigs will eat from the sow's
trough, but It is better that a pen or
"creep" be arranged adjoining that Of
the SOW, allowing the pigs to have &C.
cess to a self-feeder In which shelled
corn alone is fed for couple OF
weeks and afterwards shorts or wheat
middlings.
Pigs should be castrated while they
are, young, preferably when six to eight
weeks old, and before weaving. De
tailed information on this subject Is
given in Farmers Bulletin $50, which
may be had on application to the -Di.

YOUNG FOWLS BEST LAYERS
seldom Pays to Keep Hens for Lay.
inu After They Are Past Two
Years Of Age.

There are people who have. the
right variety Of fowls, who house and
feed them properly, and vet who can
not obtain eggs early in the winter
because their fowls ARE too old. It
is seldom that 1t pays to keep hens
for laying after they are two and q
half years old; not that they will
not give a profit, but because younger
fowls will give greater profit

 IS GREATER THAN

Modern Plants Have h. creased Capacity of 2,24O Bottle a Day But Makers Are Still Behind Orders Medicine Publicly EndOrs- ed by Best People Every where.

During the first seven months of this year 3,5S4,00 bottles of Tanlac have been sold and new world rec ord for a proprietary medicine is es- tablished.
 Tanlac's widespread and ever-in- creasing popularity is the strongest possible proof of it's unquestioned merit. No product, no matter how extensively advertised, could continue to establish world records for sales year after year if it did not produce actual and positive results.
 Tanlac is composed of the most beneficial roots, herbs and barks known to medical science. The for mula is ethical and conforms to all pure food and drug laws, and although Tanlac's superiority is abundantly supported by leading authorities it is the people themselves who have made Tanlac what it is. Millions upon mil lions have used it and have told other millions what it has done, while thou sands of the best people in every community have given public state ments of the great benefits they have received by taking it.
 Tanlac is sold by all good drug gists.-Advertisement.
