Nicotine Dust
Most Effective
Against Pests
Applications Should Be Made
When the Insects First
Appear.

Nicotine dust is 9 nicotine sui
.phate solution mixed in correct
proportions with a dust carrier.
Lime alone is ordinarily used for
the carrier, but the addition Of
sulphur to the lime makes the
material more effective against
most insects. Several thorough ap.
plications may be necessary. These
should be made when the insects
first appear, before any damage
is done. The dust is most effec-
tive at temperatures above SIS de-
grees Fahrenheit and when the air
Is still. 1t loses strength if not

Americans Using More
Milk Eating Less Meat

The American Institute of Meat
Packers has found that the per
capita consumption of meat is
steadily falling off. Twenty years
ago the average citizen ate over
$50 pounds of meat a year. Now
he eats only $50 pounds. He con-
sumes more milk, however-this
average citizen. Figures issued
Agriculture, Bureau of Chemistry,
place the daily per capita consunp-
ton of milk at seven-tenths of q
pint. Ten years ago it was only
six-tenths of a pint This is an
increase OF about II per cent. In
Boston, Concord, Hartford, Den
yer and Los Angeles the milk con.
sumption per capita is heaviest,
running up to about a pint a day
In st. Louis it is only about half
pint, and in Louisville it is less
than half a pint. The people in
the small towns and in the coun-
try are the biggest milk users.

Poultry Editor, N. 2. AmertcGn.
Copyright. 1928. by the Star Co.
When mentally comparing pres
ent-day conditions in the poultry
industry with those that main
tanned only quarter-century ago,
am amazed at the tremendous
Improvement which has been made
in this relatively short space of
time. Labor-saving, results-insur-
ing equipment has been invented
and perfected. Methods of culling,
breeding, feeding and management
have been so greatly improved that
much OF the guesswcrk has been
removed from poultry husbandry
and replaced by relative certainty.
No longer Is 1t necessary for the
beginner to stumble along in the
dark and learn the business ip the
expensive school of experience.
OF all the helpful developments
in this great field, / know of none
which has had such far-reaching
effect as the establishment and
rapid expansion of the. baby chick
industry. These ready-made chicks
have caused a general readjust-
ment of the Spring schedule OF
poultry work on unnumbered gen.
eral farms, poultry ranches and
backyard poultry plants.
Ready-made chicks have made 1t
possible for poultrymen every
where to plan in advance the Inn
portant work of rearing the sea-
sons crop Of chicks and then carry
out their plans regardless of the
vagaries of the weather, fertility
Of eggs for Matching, contrariness
of sitting hens or results given by
tncubators.
Much Uncertainty Eliminated.
Under these modern conditions
one may load all these difficulties
ON the shoulders of professional,
expert producers of chicks and. by
ordering sufficiently far in advance,
be sure Of receiving at specified
time exactly, the number and kind
Of chicks desired.
The widespread use of ready
made chicks has worked to the ad-
vantage of the poultry industry in
many ways aside from the matter
Of certainty and convenience re-
ferred to above. First, such chicks
have certainly been big factor

Ohio Farms Big Feeders
For CITY StOCkvardS

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 81
Ohio farmers in 1922 sold 10000, 900
worth Of live stock to stockyards
in the larger cities, according to
C. J.-West, State Federal ngricul-
tural statistician.
Animals sold to local butchers
or slaughtered on farms ore not
included in the estimate.
The number of animals figured
in the report Is $3.50, 900, Of which
2,432.O were hogs. 636, 900 sheep,
100000 cattle and 240, 900 calves.
Cleveland received the greatest
number of Ohio animals for
slaughter. Cincinnati live stock
receipts were greater from all
States, however.

cannot understand why Il Is un-
necessary to give the babies food
and drink during the journey. Ma
ture has provided for that. Just
before Matching each chick absorbs
into the abdomen large amount
OF the egg-yolk which supplies all
nourishment required for three or
four days. In fact 1t Is wise to
withhold all other feed for at least
forty-eight to seyenty-two hours
after Matching. Too-early feeding
is dangerous, yet most people, espe-
cially beginners, make this mistake.
This explains why it frequently
happens that chicks shipped long
distances do better than those
Matched at home. The former can
not be fed too soon.
Safety and Comfort.
The next question asked by the
uniformed has to do with keep
ing chicks warm and comfortable
while en- route. Baby chicks, like
all other young, require heat
and rest during the first few days
after they enter the world. These
they find in the snug, corrugated
board boxes in which they travel.
These boxes. are made in sizes
which just FIT, giving each chick
ample room to squat down but not
enough to be. shaken from side to
side. The boxes are ventilated ac-
cording to weather conditions and
the heat generated BY the many
little bodies provides the necessary
warmth. The great majority OF
baby chicks are shipped by parcel
post and travel in safety and COM
fort. Practically all chick produ-
GERS guarantee safe delivery and
their loss as indicated by claims, is
below one per cent. The buyer of
baby chicks can secure anything he
wants. any breed or variety, the
offspring Of show winners, Of ,pedi-
greed layers or OF good average bus

Coating Seeds of Legumes

Coating the seed Of Iegumes with
inoculated soil before planting is a
simple method of insuring soil in
oculation at slight cost. County
agents have found ordinary furni-
ture glue effective In holding par
ticles of inoculated soil to the
seeds. This method gives each
seed some Of the particles Of inocu-
lated soil which it carries with 1t

BIZ WAITED B. BALCH,

: The early garden is always a pride
to its owner, and as the early vege-
tables cost most, the early garden is
the most profitable. 1t is, however,
often possible to overdO the early
planting. In early April the ground
Is cold and tho nights long. The
plants do not grow very much, and
If they are left in the cold, damp
weather they may get such a setback
that young plants set out later will
often bear sooner. National Garden
Week is April %.
Last year I started some tomato
seed in the greenhouse on the first
of March and every seven days after
that. When the plants were six
weeks old they were planted out,
that is, those planted first Were set
out April 10, second, AprifO17, etc.
Those set out on April Is were the
first to bear good fruit and yielded
a heavier-crop than those set out
earlier, though we had no frost here
after April 5. If your plants are
started to set out early and the con-
ditions under which they are grow
ing are satisfactory, it is much bet
ter to let them stay there or at the
florists than to try to put them
out too early.
With seed 1t is somewhat different.
Under the ground they will not ger

Of the cold weather crops may he

Then by the time the weather has
settled they will be Just above the
ground and will grow rapidly. The
dates vary somewhat from year to
year. One rather common rule sis TO
start planting seeds when the
peaches are in bloom.

word about prices. In itself price
Is not an indication Of value, but
as rule bargain-counter chicks
are not the best buy. It should be
remembered that what one buys 10,
IN the last analysis, the matursd
fowls. These will be no better
than the chicks from which they
grow. The difference of few cents
per chick amounts to nothing Is the
higher priced youngsters develop
into pullets which are better layers.
The principal cost Hes IN growing
the flock and It costs no more TO
feed and care for good chicks than
inferior ones.
Chick quality depends upon two
things: The characterr0f the breed
ing flocls and the skill Of the IN
Cubator operator Professional chick
producers know this 80 they are
constantly striving to improve their
breeders and perfect their Matching
equipment and methods. Since they
are specialists and concentrate on
these problems, 1t naturally follows
that year by year they are improv-
ing their nccks and their product.

Can't Market More

Enthusiasm for cooperative mar

more than the available market.
A selling organization cannot mar

Cooperative marketing inevitably
involves measure of regulation

accept this as means of assuring

How Tankage
Is Prepared

Tankage Is composed of the un-
merchantable meat and trimmings
of packing houses. This is placed
in tanks and heated to a high
temperature and sterilized. The fat
is separated from the lean tissue
and the latter is dried and ground
into a meal, known as tankage or
meat meal. 1t is very rich in
protein. usually containing so or 60
per cent. 1t is valuable as a hog
feed, especially when fed with corn
or other grain. When fed with
corn, if given in the proportion
of one part tankage to ten Of
corn, it gives excellent results.

Any poultry raiser can easily rid his
flock of lice and mites, make chickens
grow faster and increase their egg yield
by simply adding minerals to the fowls
drinking water. This does away with all
bother. such as busting, greasing. dipping
and spraying. The necessary mineralq
can now be obtained in convenient tab
let's, known as Paratabs. Soon after the

home runs, while Johny Johnson
tapped one over.
Henderson began the game
with an offensive and kept. it up
all through. They scored once
IN the first inning, and twice in
the third. The runs in the third
came about as result of john
sons home run with Greason on,
base. Two more were scored in
