KNEW NO BOSS BY THAT NAME
But Young Man Finally Figured Out
Just Whom His Acquaintance
Might Have Meant.

Office politics are not unknown even
in the government bureaus. Indeed
though perhaps this should be
whispered-maybe they're better
known there than anywhere else.
A bright young man holds down a
very responsible job in one govern
ment unit and holds it down very
capably. His nominal superior is gen.
orally recognized as merely a figure
head. Relations between the two are
bit strained.
The other day a Washingtonian,
talking of the bright young man, re-
marked: 81 nearly ran down your boss
the other day in Scott circle" And
he mentioned the boss by name.
The young man looked blank.
"Have l boss by that name?' he
asked. "Oh, yes-I know who you
mean. We have dead man up at the
shop by that name."-Washington

SELL POULTRY TO CONSUMER
table Method of Disposina of
Best Fowls.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There are three general ways Of
selling poultry-direct to the con-
sumner, direct to the retailer, or to
commission merchants for selling on
the open market. Selling direct to the
consumer is believed by poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to be the most
grade goods, for the charges of the
middlemen are eliminated. Very often
the producer is situated so that he can
build up a retail trade among the
families of a neighbOring town or city,
delivering his goods once or twice a
week, or oftener if desired In this
way he can obtain a substantial in
crease over prices paid in the open
market. Especially is this true in the
case of strictly fresh eggs. Often it
is possible TO find customers in a town
or city within reasonable hauling dis
lance, taking eggs and poultry to them
at regular intervals. Hotels, restau-
rants and clubs are good customers
which can be supplied in this way by
contract.
Often there are grocery and provi-
sion dealers catering to a select trade
to whom the producer can sell regular
supplies of eggs and poultry. OF
course, the simplest way to sell prod
uce is through the commission mer-
chant. 1t does away with expense

BOWEL TROUBLE IN POULTRY
One Good Way to Prevent Ailments
Is Not to Feed Anything Solid
for SeVenty-TWo Hours.

ITO prevent white diarrhea and
bowel trouble, chicks should not be
fed any solid feeds for at least 70
hours after hatching," says Harry
Embleton head of the poultry depart
ment of Oklahoma A. and NJ. college.
During this period, however, they
should receive sour, skim milk when
taken from the incubator, and this
should be kept before them all the
time. In addition to the milk they
should receive some fine sand which
acts as a grit.
"When beginning to- feed solid
feeds, feeding should be little and
often. A commercial chick feed scat
tered in a finely cut litter accom-
panied with some rolled oats or john
ny cake or a mixture of these feeds
with hard-boiled eggs makes a very
good feed for starting young chicks.
Care should be taken not to over
feed them"

CUT ALFALFA AT
CORRECT PERIOD
Best Plan to Delay Harvesting
Until the Plants Are Nearly
in Full Bloom.
LIFE OF Stand LENGTHENED
Recommended That Crop Be Given
Time to Reach Height of to 8
Inches Before Cold Weather
Shuts Off the Sap Flow.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrculture.)
Delaying the cutting of alfalfa until
it is nearly in full bloom has been
found a better practice than moving
it soon after blooming starts. Trials
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and state expert
ment stations Indicate that the yields
are larger over period of years. and
that the life of the stand is prolonged
by delaying harvesting until the plants
are nearly in full bloom.
Hay made when the plants are
nearly in full bloom possibly is not
quite so palatable, but this is offset by
the gain in quantity of hay. The fields
THAT were cut prior to or at the be-
ginning of blooming showed a ten
dency to die out sooner. Cutting
crop late in the fall so that not enough
growth was left for protection in the
winter also had much to do with thin
ming stands. The department recon-
mends that alfalfa be given time to
reach a height of six to eight inches
before cold weather shuts off the sap
flow.
Broadcasting Best Plan.
In the past the growing of alfalfa
in rows in dry regions has been recon-
meLded, by experimental evidence
gathered by the department in the
last few years shows that, with the
exception of few rare varieties the
seed of which sells for a high price,
this method is seldom practical. Where
the rainfall is not sufficient to grow
alfalfa in broadcast stands it cannot
usually be grown protitably in rows.
y slightly larger yield may be pro-
duced, but not enough to pay for the
added expense Also, the hay harvested
on this cultivated ground is apt to be
dirty and it is hard to cut and load.
Value of Cultivation.
Accommodating experience also has
exploded some old notions about the
valve of cultivation of broadcast
stands. 1t has been found that har-
rowing a field of alfalfa ordinarily
does not increase the yield; neither
does it prolong the life of the stand to
any noticeable extent. The modified
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1922-06-22

spring-tOoth harrow does not iniure
the plants, but the disk often kills
many and reduces the stand. Some
sort of cultivation appears advisable
in irrigated regions where the water
carries a great deal of silt or where
the soil has been compacted by the
tramping of cattle pastured on the
alfalfa. The department believes there
is usually little to be gained by cult
waiting broadcast fields when the stand
is good. If weeds and grass work in
and reduce the stand it is better to
pillow up the field and put in another
crop for year or two. 1t is hard to
thicken thin stand by cultivating it
and sowing more seed; in fact, it is a
waste Of time, the department be-
lieves.

GETTING STAND OF ALFALFA
Iowa Farmers Secure Best Fields by
Seeding During August and
Without Nurse Crop.

Experience of many Iowa farmers
and of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station Is that the surest method
Of getting a stand of alfalfa Is to seed
during August without a nurse crop
on land which has been plowed in
early summer and cultivated at ten
day intervals to kill weeds and con-
serve moisture. Objections to this
method are that the land does not
yield returns during the season pre-
ceding seeding, that it requires adj
dtional labor, and that grasshoppers
frequently damage the alfalfa con-
siderably on small acreages. However,
general experience in Iowa justifies
the method above suggested as it pro-
duces the best fields of alfalfa.

Bundle Foot Remedy

This trouble is an abscess on
the bottom Of the foot caused
by splinter in the foot or
jumping off a high roost. If the
roosts are at fault they should
be remedied.
Tie cord tightly around the
leg above the foot to control the
flow of blood. Open the abscess
and thoroughly clean out the
core. Disinfect in a dilute So
luton of tincture Of iodine, after
which apply a generous dress
ing Of carbolated vaseline and
bandage. In two days repeat
the dressing of iodine and car
bolated vaseline.

Where Applied In Liberal Quantities
Soil Shows Beneficial Effects
for Years.

1t has been observed that where
lime has been applied in fairly liberal
quantities to soil, the soil shows the
beneficial effects for a number of
years afterward. In longtime tests
made by the Ohio experiment station
the crop yields during the last six
years of 13-year period were much

ADVANTAGES OF CULTIVATION
It Helps to Keep Weeds Down and
Conserves Moisture Necessary
for Vegetables.

Keep the hand cultivator going to
preserve dust mulch and to kill
weeds. Either pull or hoe the weeds
out of the vegetable rows. The best
time to kill weeds is when they have
just pushed through the top of the
ground. Frequent shallow cultivation
will do this as well US conserve mols-
