HOW MANY SEES IN PoUaD7
United States Department of AgricuI-
lure Makes Count Of Number In
Various Kinds of Grasses.

Counts to determine the relation
between the number of grass seeds to
the pound and the number of pounds
required per acre to assure a good
stand Of grass, have been made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In general the fine-seeded
grasses require fewer pounds of seed
to the acre than do the coarse-seeded
varieties.
The work Of the department, shows
that timothy or the average has 1900
600 seeds In n pound. Kentucky blue
grass has 100000 and Redtop, 1000
600. while Sudan grass has only 50,'
600. Orchard grass has 100000; Can
ada blue grnss, 2,70o,000; tall meadow
grass, 10000; meadow fescue, 240,-
600; foxtail millet, 100000; sleeps
fescue, 6S0000; red fescue, 100000
seeds; italian rye grass, 2S0,OO0;
perennial rye grass, $4,000; and Der
muda grass, 100000.
Timothy usually is seeded al the
rate of 10 pounds to the acre; Ken.
lucky blue glass, il to IS pounds;
Redtop, 10 pounds; and Bermuda
bAooof ~ Pouhub, OlChuiu bThSo ~
usually sown Mt the rate of 25 pounds
to the acre; Canada blue grass. 10
pounds; and tall meadow oat grass,
40 pounds. Meadow fescue requires
% pounds to the acre; foxtail millet,
IL to 25 pounds; sleeps fescue, %
pounds; and red f~escue, 80 pounds.
Italian rye grass Is sown at the rate
of 80 to 40 pounds per acre; peren-
NAL rye grass, 80 pounds; and Sudan
grass, IL to % pounds per acre.
There are some 5000 distinct spe-
cies of cultivated md wild grasses in
the world but only about 20 of these
are of Importance In the United
States.

Next to good breeding and health.
good feeding Is most important In get
ing profitable yields from the poultry
flock. A few simple suggestions on
feeds and practices. such as those In
the following paragraphs from the
United States Department of Agricul-
tire, will help build up the egg yield.
Principal Grains Used.
The principal grains fed to poultry
are corn, wheat, oats and barley. Corn
and wheat are the most popular. Corn
is the best and most economical single
iced. but is very fattening and should
always be used with some other grain.
Wheat is the safest to feed alone. The
usual practice Of successful poultry
me Is to feed a part of the daily grain
ration ground. This is ON the theory
that 1t is easier to digest. Soft feed.
while 1t is u little more economical,
must not be soverworked. Too much
soft feed may cause digestive troubles
Ways OF Feeding.
Methods of feeding differ. but a
good rule to try to follow is to have
empty crops In the morning and never
have them quite full until 1t is time
for the chickens to 20 to roost. For
the first feed, grain scattered In the
litter In the morning is best, the soon
er after the birds leave the roost the
better. This induces them to exercise.
Feed about one-third' of the scratch
mixture in the morning and the other
two-thirds in the afternoon. A light
morning feed keeps the hens hungry
and exercising all day. Have the litter
from three to six inches deep and dry.
1t may be OF straw, hay, leaves or any
other material of this sort.
Indicates Health of Fowl.
The condition OF the droppings is a
good Indication OF the hens health.
They should be OF enough irmness to
hold their shape, but not solid. The

MUACHING THE SOIL

Covering Must Be the Kind That
Will Not Blow Away.

ate Quickly.

prepared by tho United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Thirty n of investigation by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the much longer experience
of practical farmers have demonstrate
ed that about the only way of on
serving soil moisture for the use of
agricultural plants in the regions or
scanty rainfall is to provide a suitable
seed-bed for their termination and
early growth and to prevent useless
weeds that would otherwise compete
with them. Theoretically. covering or
mulching the soil for the purpose Of
preventing the loss of soil moisture is
very efficient; practically. 1t has very
narrow limitations.
There are several things required
OF a soil covering or mulch besides
simply preventing the loss of mois-
ture. Among these may be mentioned
the following: 1t must "stay put; that
is to say, 1t must be of such charac-
ter that 1t VIII not be blown away by
the high winds common to all arid re-
gions. This rules out all dust and
straw mulches, except possibly in or
chards or berry patches, and, in them,
the straw mulch is frequently objec-
t!onable on account OF its harboring
rodents. especially field mice. A soil
covering must let rain into the soil.
This rules out the dust mulch which
is almost, II not quite, %impervious to
ordinary rainfall, as IL puddles pro-
duclng a sheet of paste over the sur
face that prevents the water from
reaching the roots of the crop plants.
A straw mulch. IL thick enough to
prevent the growth Of weeds, will abb
sorb most, II not all. of an ordinary
rainfall. The water thus absorbed
will evaporate very quickly. as soon
as the rain censes and the sun begins
to shine on the mulch, never reaching
the roots Of the crop plants.
The heating of the soil by the SUMS
rays and Its neration by exposure 10
the winds are important factors in
the growth Of agricultural crops.
Many wild woods and swamp plants
thrive without these conditions, but
nearly all OF our agricultural plants
have been developed through long
periods OF time in soil open 90 the
free nccesr of the sun and the wind,
and these conditions seem to have be-
ONE necessary to their fullest devel-

Billings. E. Hiber, rancher, whose

Is In st. vincent's hospital suffering
from bullet wounds inflicted by his
son, Lee, 16 years old. during a quarrel
between the two at the Hiber ranch
On the fathers duplication. the boy
was not arrested. 1t was thought from
Mr.. Hiber'si apparent condition on ar
rival at the hospital that he was dan
gerously wounded.
There are four bullet holes In the
mans abdomen, but 1t is thought that
all the punctures were made by one
bullet, having penetrated through folds
of flesh when Hiber was in a crouched
position. A bullet also clipped the
ends of two fingers on his right hand,
the middle and ring fingers. The bull
lets struck near each other a couple
of inches to the left and about as far
below the naval. The two lower pune
lures are In the groin. From he fact
that a small caliber pistol was used,
1t was thought that the wounds were
not deep. Apparently a bullet skipped
along the surface. There was only
one hole in the mans clothing. One
puncture was a large one, with the ap-
pearance of having been a point Of
exit for the lead.
The father and son had quaireled
over the subject of wages, and the lad
made a declaration that he would leave

Novel Contest for
Naming Tire Man

A. n. Brunette, the local Mich
elm Tire dealer is very enthusiast
TIE these days over the nation
wide contest now being conducted
by the Michelin Tire Company of
fcling $l,000.00 in cash and sixty
five other prizes for securing a
suitable name for the interesting
tire man which has been a fea-
ture of Michelin advertising for
many years, and whose antics
have amused countless thousands
o. people.
The rules governing the present
contest are very simple. All the
contestant has to do is of course
fiIst find a suitable name for the
tire man and an appropriate slo-
gar or phrase Of not more than
ten words. After selecting a name
and phrase the contestant simply
mails them to the Michelin fac
tory at Midtown, New jersey,
sometime between March LIST and
March 25th. The contest closes
on March 25th and names sent in
after that date will not be con-
sidered.
OF course the would-be contest
ant should first learn all he can
about Michelin Tires and the
Mlchelin Man before he starts
cudgeling his brains for q name
and phrase. To help him the
company has provided Mr.. Brun-
nellie, the local Michelin dealer.
with circulars telling all abount
the House Of Michelin.
Nh. Brunette also has printed
postcard forms for use in sending
names, and while it is not neces-
sary to secure either the circulars
or the contest cards. both will
hell the contestant in his efforts
to annex the thousand dollars Of
fercd for the best name and slo-
gan.
