POULTRY NOTES.

Keep the incubator temperature as
even as possible at 1O3 degrees; air,
cool and turn the eggs at least once
a day; ventilate the incubating
room well and protect it from the
suns rays; the lamp and machine
must be kept perfectly clean all the
time.
There Is no danger of getting the
hen house too clean.
An excitable hen is likely to have
excitable chicks.
GoslingS grow more rapidly than
any other kind OF fowls.
: More chicks are Matched during
the last of April and in May than
at any other season.
Next to pure air, water is the
cheapest thing one can supply poul.

PURE BRED CATTLE
S|RES ESSENTIAL
Pedigree Is Insurance of Sue
cess in Dairyiny and
Breeding.

A writer in Hoard's Dairyman sub
ndits these as requirements for insur-
ance against poor results in dairying
and breeding:
1. A pure-bred sire must be used
that is a good individual and shows
that he is bred for production by hav-
ing good pedigree. If it is possible
to secure q sire that has already
proven his merit by producing pro-
ductive daughters, the rates of this
insurance will be reduced
2. The calves from the best cows
must be raised. They must be given
whole milk for three or four weeks,
and then fed literally on skim milk,
grain and hay.
8. The heifers also must be liber-
ally fed to produce large animals.
In the winter time feed from two to
five pounds of grain and corn silage
at will. A liberal amount of clover
or alfalfa hay will provide an abund-
ance of mineral matter, as well as
furnish excellent proteins for growth
4. The heifers must be bred when
from sixteen to twenty months old
to pure-bred sire.
5. The milk from each cow should
be weighed so that she can be fed
according to her production, as fol-
lows: One pound Of grain per day
for each three to four pounds of milk
produced, depending upon the per
cent Of fat in the milk. In addition,
feed thirty to forty pounds of corn
silage and all the clover or alfalfa
hay they will eat up clean.
s. Join a cow-testing association If
you can; IL not, get a Babcock tester
and test the milk from each individ-
ual cow at least once a month.
7. In the winter time do not turn
the cows out to remain and suffer
in cold or stormy weather. Provide
water two or three times daily that
is no colder than that drawn from a
deep well. Keep your cows in q
clean, welI-ligh:ed and properly ven
tilated stable.
At all times treat the cows
gently, milk regularly, and avoid ex-
element.

Grew 224 Bushels
OF Oats on Acre

The death Of Theodore Harms, OF
Salkum, eighteen miles southeast
OF Chehalis, Wash, recalls the fact
that Twelve years ago he grew
what is probably the greatest crop
of oats ever yielded in the United
States on a. single acre of land.
The seed was furnished by q Wis
consin seed company, and an a
prize for having produced the high
est yield grown In the contest
staged, Harms received deed to
an eighty-acre farm near Marinette,
Wis.
Harms grew ten acres Of oats
that season, but only one acre was
entered in the contest, which was
in accordance with the rules. The
crop yielded 224 bushels to the
acre, machine measure. q meas.
ured bushel weighing thirty-eight
pounds.

pose breeds are kept there Is usual
" an ample supply of broody hens
at this season of the year. These
may be used to incubate the eggs
and rear the resulting chicks, or
merely as brooders to care for
chicks Matched artificially, @the.
at home or In the machines Of pro-
fessional producers of baby chicks.
To be successful, one must pay
due attention to several separate
factors-the hens, the coops, pro-
lection against weather, enemies
and vermin, cleanliness and santa
ton, feeding. It's all perfectly
easy II the poultryman understands
what to do and then does It.
Individual hens vary in their

lily. ] have often kept hens for
years after they had passed the age
OF profitable production, merely be-
cause they were exceptionally good
mothers. Choose the gentle, placid
old ladies'; avoid the nervous, ex-
citable, quarrelsome ones and those
which are in poor flesh or rundown
condition.
Fifteen In q Brood.
At this season OF the year a hen
OF average size will properly care
for about fifteen chicks. Later, as
the nights get warmer, eighteen
chicks make a nice brood. I have
often, as a labor-saving plan, put
three hens and fifty chicks to-
gether in a small colony house. If
the hens are flock-mates and chicks
are all of the same age, this happy
family scheme works very well.
When several hens hatch broods

Caution on Buying
Burberry Plants

After experiments extending over
sixteen years, the United States
Department Of Agriculture has es-
tablished the culture of the blue
berry as a commercial industry
and has bred varieties with ber-
ries more than three-fourths of an
inch in diameter. The most out
standing cultural characteristic of
the BURBERRY Is it's requirements of
an acid soil. 1t does not thrive In
ordinary rich garden soil that has
a neutral or alkaline reaction.
A few nurserymen are taking ad.
vantage of the work that has been
done in the improvement of the
BURBERRY TO deceive the public by
advertising blueberries in a very
misleading manner. Ordinary wild
blueberries, first transplanted to a
nursery, are furnished deluded
buyers.

Renters on Indiana
Farms Going Broke

Rapid change from a cash rent to
a share basis of operating farms
has occurred In Central Indiana
during the last two years. Many
tenants who had contracted to pay
large cash rents in 1920 and 1921
have lost everything, including their
farming equipment and personal
property.
Cash rents which varied from SO
to S12 or more per acre in 1919
have been reduced to 81 to SO
per acre, but despite this reduction
tenants who rent for cash have
found IT almost impossible to obtain
sufficient income above current ex-
penses to pay their rent. On the
other hand, after tax and repair
bills are paid, the landlord does not
have very satisfactory return for
the use Of his farm:

HORSES DECREASE.

On January /. 1923, there were on
farms, 18,853,00 horses and 5,505 900
mules, reduction from the previous
year Of 203 900 horses and an increase
of 30 900 mules. Recent reports by
the Department Of Agriculture show
an increase Of 80 per cent in the
receipts Of hores and mules at
markets reported for January, 1928,
over January last year.

Fertilizer Cannot
Iniure Live Stock

The object, of course, of using
fertilizer is to have the growing
crop assimilate 1t. If the fertilizer
is made available to the plant SO
that it will be fully taken up. there
can be no danger whatever to
animals that eat the plant while it
is growing.
Some farmers have feared that
nitrate of soda. for instance. used
to stimulate growth, might injure
stock, but this is declared to be
fiction. 1t would be impossible to
apply so much fertilizer that injury
could result to animals, for the
reason that a plant will take only
what it can assimilate, and when
1t does this its normal quality has
rot been changed.

give the Babe a fair deal. Ruth hasn't

judging Ruth's actions for 1923 we do
not think that any of the Babes fail

RUTHS CHANCE GOOD
TO BE NAMED YEARS
MOST VALUABLE MAN
Didn't Get a Vote Last
Season But He's a.
Changed Person.
By FREDERICK G. LEE.

HTtoiucut N. 4. SpUTtS NEitcIS fASs IL.
New York. Aug. 15.-There is con-
siderable interest felt on the outcome
of the vote which will decide the most
valuable American League player of
the year. Some of Ruth's boosters are
backing the claims of the Babe for the
honor, and it is no secret that the
mighty Bambino covets the title and
will feel disappointed if the vote gives
first place to another player.
1t will be recalled that the Amer
lean League decided to award prize
each year to the player voted the most
valuable in the. circuit by committee
of newspaper judges. while the name
of the player. will be permanently
chiseled on a baseball shaft in Wash

The idea is splendid one and has
Unfortunately. the National League
League did two years ago. There is
tween the two majors. The National
League probably voted it down be-
cause the idea emanated from the
American.
Last year George Sisler won first
honors, with Ruth not getting a single
vote.
But there seems no doubt in the
writer's mind that Ruth deserves first
position among American League
players this year. While he is not hit
ting as many home runs as in 1920
and 1921. his 40 bases on balls tell
why he doesn't get his usual quota of
home runs. The Babe can't hit homers
when he doesn't get good ball to hit
That is obvious.
However. too much has been made
