Chickens and Eggs Sold
Make Family Comfortable

Comfort and financial security were
attained last year by Colorado wom-
an through her poultry keeping, al
though tie main crop was almost a
failure. The wheat crop was only 90
bushels and the barley 80, besides a
small amount of corn to be fed to the
live stock A report received by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture states that after culling her flock
and selling the culls for $106 this
woman bought lumber to enlarge the
poultry house so. as to have more space
for the pullets retained. The eggs and
chickens sold brought $59720, which
was sufficient to pay the annual taxes,
to pay the interest on money borrowed
for the farm, build the poultry house,
add new room to their taxpayer
house, and finish the inside Of two
rooms. This enabled the family to
have a coy, warm, three-room house,
which was much more comfortable
than the one room and lean-to kitchen
they had had before.

Discuss Insect Pests of
United States and Canada

AS a result of an international con-
ference on insects of Importance both
to the northwestern states and the
prairie provinces of Canada, which was
held at Winnipeg, Manitoba, recently,
plans were perfected for conducting
experimental work in the control Of
these insects. The experiments are to
be carried on in such a way as to
render the results comparable in all
the districts involved. A base map Of
all the international territory affected
has been prepared for the purpose Of
plotting the occurrence of the principal
insect pests Of common Importance to
Canada and the United States.
The principal pests discussed were
grasshoppers, the western wheat-stem
sawfiy, the pale western cutworm, and
the Hessian fly in Carada. The bureau
Of entomology Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture was repre-
scented, and other American entomol-
ogists were present. The meeting was
addressed by Deputy Minister of Ag-
riculture Davis, of Manitoba, and also
by the acting president Of the agricul-
tural college.

the majority Of the leading poultry
men of Iowa. That fact was brought
out in the recent survey made by the
poultry extension men of Iowa state

there were 81 who had never used
commercial feeds for stimulating egg
production OF the % who had used

Little to Be Gained by
Cultivation Of Alfalfa

So long as the stand is satisfactory
and the plants are making good
growth there is little to be gained by
cultiyating alfalfa, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
slight increase in yield is sometimes
obtained by such treatment, but ex-
periments have shown that 1t is not
ordinarily enough to pay the addition
al cost, and the life of the stand is
prolonged but little, If any.
Under certain conditions, however,
cultivation of this crop may be worth
while. Where irrigation waters leave
a crust of silt on the fields the use
of the harrow to break it up seems
advisable. Also where irrigated al
falfa is pastured it is sometimes a
good practice to use a harrow to
loosen up the soil, especially If it Is
heavy-textured. When weeds and
grass threaten to choke out the al
falfa the life of the stand may be
pro1tably prolonged for year or two
by narrowing.
The best implement for this purpose
Is the alfalfa harrow, which is modi-
fcation of the spring-tooth harrow.
The spike-tooth harrow may be used
on the lighter soils, but is of little use
on the heavy soils. The disk harrow
is very liable to prove injurious.

Many Young Chicks Die
Every Year From Gapes

Many thousand young chicks die
every year from gapes. The disease
Is caused by parasitic worm which
attaches itself to the walls of the wind
pipe. This worm Is sometimes called
the forked worm by reason of the fact
that the male and female are so firm
" united that at first glance they have
the appearance of one worm with two
heads. The worms suck blood from
the mucous membrane, thus weakening
the chick. They also clog the windpipe,
which interferes with breathing.
The first symptoms of the disease
are coughing and sneezing. Soon the
chicks begin to cape, plainly showing
that they are unable to get sufficient
air. Gapes spread rapidly. The female
In the windpipe develops large num-
Der of eggs, which are coughed up by
the chick, or else are swallowed; pass
Ing throug Oh the intestines and being

Its windpipe, the chick often coughs up

Eradicate Weed Plants
bv Preventing Growth

There is only one way to eradicate
noxious perennial plants such as wild
morning glories or pea vine growths,
or whatever kind they may be; and
that is to prevent them from making
any leaf growth during the last half
of summer, or after about July 1.
Whatever method you find most con-
venient for doing this will be the most
practical method for you to apply.
Some such plants cAn be eradicated
by pasturing the last half of summer;
other methods are to keep the land
cultivated the last half of summer, or
to keep them cut down with a hoe
when in some cultivated crop, such as
corn; another method Is to smother
with straw or by growing some rank
growing crop; another is to keep the
land moved close to the ground fire.

Lack of Cleanliness Is
Cause of Calf Disorders

Nearly all disorders or diseases OF
calves, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, are caused either
directly or Indirectly by lack OF clean
illness. Filth, whether it is IN feed,
pens, bedding, or pals and utensils, is
dangerous to the health Of the calf.
To be on the safe side use nothing
but clean milk (sweet or sour, scald
the pals or sterilize them with steam,
remove old feed from the boxes and
clean them daily. Filth and dirt are
the natural breeding places Of many
bacteria that will cause disturbances
in the young animals stomach. Free
dom from filth usually means freedom
from disease.

Clay or shale tile that absorb water

The detection of poor clay or shale
tile is relatively easy, because it can

scratches easily or if there is excessive
breakage in shipment, it may be con-
cluded that the tile is too soft. Lami-
nation may be detected by an attempt
to split the tile walls with knife.
Testing Concrete Tile.
To test the qualities of a concrete
tile is a somewhat more difficult prob
lem. One test is to break the tile and
observe whether the pebbles have been
broken squarely or whether they have
been stripped away form the cement.
If they do not break squarely, the tile
is probably too weak or porous for
use.

ing laboratory tests tile, clay or con-
crete, for any Wisconsin farmer, engi-
neer, or dealer, sent to the laboratory,

some factories have shown an absorb
ton as high at 27.5 per cent. Some
concrete tile run as low as 80 per cent

very strong and serviceable, while 9TH
ers from the same factory showed over

definitely whether his tile are going to
stand up or not. A few poor ones in

Alfalfa is one of the leading forage
crops in this country, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture. It
is also widely distributed throughout
the world, growing in various soils
and meeting the rigors Of both heat
and cold. 1t requires considerable
moisture, but it does best in relative
ly dry atmosphere where water Is

States it succeeds at attitudes rang

er in winter and spring. 1t is not
known to what extent cold alone does
damage to the crop, but it is known
that low temperatures combined with
other winter conditions cause high
mortality among the plants. Alternate
freezing and thawing on poorly drained
soils often d9es much damage by heav-
ing the plants out of the ground and
breaking the roots.
Deep loans with open subsoils are
best, but where other conditions are
favorable the crop has a very wide
range of adaptation. 1t does not thrive
on soil that has an impervious SUBJ
soil, hardpan, or bedrock near the sur
face. However, it has been known to
do well on soils with limestone lodges
Is inches below the surface. Good sur
face and undertakings are necessary.
During the growing season complete
submergence for "a to 48 hours may do
much injury, but when the plants are
dormant they may remain under water
several days without danger. The crop
seldom succeeds where the water table
comes close to the surface, especially
If it fuctuates considerably.

Corn Is 2 robably Best
Single Fattening Food

Any rationS compounded of such fat
tening foods as corn, oats. buckwheat,
barley and wheat will give good results
in poultry fattening. Corn is probably
the best single fattening food, but
gives better results when combined
with other grains. Under farm condi-
lions the simple rations will usually
give the most satisfactory results, as
they are easily mixed and handled.
Since the finishing ration is essen
TALLY a fattening ration, fattening
foods should be supplied. CornmeaI
and milk or beef scraps are usually
used as their base. A ration composed
of six parts cornmeal, one part beef
scrap and four parts middlings is very
satisfactory for fattening BY it's use
about one and one-half pounds have
been added to roasters in two weeks.
In range fattening the ration is large
ly grain. Usually corn is used, not be-
cause of better gains secured, but be-
cause it is inconvenient to feed wet
mash to birds having the liberty of the
barn. Fattening rations should be fed
wet, preferably moistened with sour
milk, since milk gives excellent re-
suits, The ground feeds should be
used as far as possible. Experiments
show that they are superior to gains
produced to whole grains.
In the case of pen feeding, corn
moistened with water or sour milk is
often used to supplement the ration.

Culture Of Glover for
Profitable Crop of Seed

If you have a heavy growth Of
clover AMI wish to get a crop Of seed,
cut the clover as soon as the heads
turn brown; cure in the windrow and,
as soon as the hay rattles in the
handling, haul under cover; spread
one peck of coarse salt over each two
horse load as put in the haymow. If
salt cannot be had put layer Of straw
or old hay between each load. The
hay will take up the moisture in the
clover and prevent heating in the NOW.
The side delivery hay rake Is superior
to the ordinary hay rake, as it leaves
the hay loose so the hot air can cure
as well as the sunshine. This rake will
take the place of the tedder, as the
dne leaves and stems are not broken
in the handling and lost.
