FEDERAL LAW ON HUNTING
Prohibits Shooting of Migratory Fowl
After Sunset-South Dakota
Hunters Face Arrest.

Hunting migratory game birds is
permitted under federal regulations
each day during the open season from
half an hour before sunrise to sun
set. Persons found hunting betwN
sunset and half an hour before sun
rise are liable to prosecution in fed
eral court under the provisions of Reg
ulations of the migratory-brd treaty
act regulations. A state law recently
passed by the legislature of South Da-
kota provides that waterfowl may be
shot half an hour after sunset. The
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture points out
that state legislatures may pass laws
to give further protection to migra-
tory birds, if such laws or regulations
do not extend the open seasons for
such birds beyond the time prescribed
by the migratory-bird treaty-act regu-
lations. Although the state law per-
mits shooting from sunrise to half an
hour after sunset, person so doing
may be arrested and prosecuted under
the federal law, administered by the
Department of Agriculture.

Figures Gathered by De-

prepared by the United States Department
of Agr1culture)
A difference in the rapidity with
which leading farm grain crops are
marketed Is shown by studies conduct
ed by the bureau of agricultural eco
nomics of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Statistics on the
monthly marketings by farmers over a
five-year peri cd, 19l7-1922, show that,
while there is considerable variation in
marketing activity from month TO
month, the five-year average is fairly
representative of the market condi-
tions each season.
According to the figures gathered by
department. workers and volunteer crop
reporters stationed in the grain mar
kets Of the country, GIL per cent OF
the marketable amount of the wheat
crop moves during the four months Of
July, August, September and october.
while only 1913 per cent Of the oats
crop marketed during the year moves
during the same months. Similar fig-
ures gathered for the four peak mar
ket months for the corn crop, namely,
December, January, February and
March, show that 47.2 per cent moves
while the rest is marketed gradually
through the remaining months Of the
year. The significant fact, in interpret
ing these figures, is, however, that
while nearly all wheat Is sold except
that needed for seed, only small part
of the corn and oat crops actually
leave the farm.
The department has no figures to
show the monthly marketing by farm
ers of buckwheat, rice, the grain
sorghums, and katir, but study OF the
market figures for barley over the five
year period shows that 51.9 per cent
of the annual market crop is sold DUR
ing the first four months after harvest.
Unlike the other crops, the peak mar
ket months for faXseed are September,
October and November. An average
of 59.2 per cent of the crop Is sold dur
ing these three months, while 67 per
cent is marketed if December Is In
cluded.

the famous International Live Stock
exposition at Chicago there will be an
educational booth where the different
types of corn will be on exhibition.
This display is being arranged by a
committee of agronomists who will
submit samples of the types of corn
they consider the most satisfactory for
farmers to plant in their respective
territories. The country is divided into
six regions and the experts have been
holding meetings in their sections dur
ing the summer and will have a final
roundup gathering at the time of the
show. These state representatives are

Ohio, Prof. Joe L. Robinson of Iowa,
Prof G. A. Helm of Missouri, Prof. J.
C. Hackleman of Illinois, and Prof. L.
e. Call of Kansas. 1t is hoped that
the display arranged by this committee
will tend to unity the types and will
bring the adherents of the various
styles closer together so that stand
ard type for each region will be set up
that will include the best features Of
each.
In the open classes of the grain and
hay show there are expected to be
nearly three thousand samples entered
by the champion corn raisers of the
entire country. Cash prizes amounting
to considerably over $4,000 for corn
alone are offered by the Chicago Board
of Trade in addition to numerous rib
bons and desirable trophies. A sep
arate competition will be held by men,
bers of the boys and girls corn clubs
to determine the Corn Prince" or
"Corn Princess" Of the world. Re-
duced railroad rates will be in effect
on all lines entering Chicago for this
| occasion and 1t is expected that
! third Of million visitors will throng
the metropolis to see the corn titles
awarded and the many other interest
| ing features Of the largest agricul-
'tural and live stock show on the face
Of the globe.

Best Type of Corn
for Farmer to Use
Difference Of Opinion as to
Which Variety Is Most
Profitable.

Farmers all over the country will
watch with great interest the results
of test to be made at the Inter
national Grain and Hay show in Chi
cago the first week in December to de-
termine which type of corn is the best
to plant in the different sections Of the
United States.
For several years there has been a
difference of opinion among the lead
ing agricultural authorities as to
whether the old type of corn or a
different kind called the utility" type
Is the most profitable to raise. The
main difference between the two types
is that the standard old type has a

Way to Progress Is by
Use of Better Animals

The success attained in the building
up of a herd of grade or of pure bred
animals will depend largely upon the
care and understanding used In the
selection of herd sires, say New YORK
dairymen who have made consplcu-
GUS success in improving their dalrles.
The state college of agriculture at
Ithaca backs this up by saying the
average man must depend upon the
law that like produces like" and Sc
lect animals for breeding purposes
that have the physical and producing
characters desired in the offspring.
Were it possible always to use
proved sires. or sires with daughters
Of producing age, little chance would
be taken in their selection. Unfortu-
nately too few proved sires are avail
able and most men must select
younger, less expensive, and untried
bull. In this selection. individuality
and pedigree should be considered.
Since there is relation between the
size and conformation of an animal
and It's ability to produce satisfactory
physical development and type must
be insisted upon.
A bull of good individuality and de-
velopment whose female and male an
cestors in the near two or three gen.
erations have made or have trans
mitted uniformly good productions,
averaging we'll above that of the herd
to be improved, should be selected.
For grading, 1t would seem wise to
require that the females in a sire's
ancestry should have at least shown
sufficient ability to qualify for ad-
vanced registry. Such a bull will
usually transmit to his offspring the
producing ability so common to his
ancestors.
Young and improved bulls of excel
lent breeding may be purchased at
prices below their actual value.

Poor Lubrication Will
Cause Tractor to Wear

After tractor handles load for
35 hours, 6 per cent of the lu-
bricating oil will be kerosene that has
been forced past the pistons, accord
ing to j. C. Wooley of Missouri. And
when oil has reached such a state of
dilution it's lubricating qualities are
almost lost. A tractor forced to OPP
crate on such oil wears out very rap
idly.
Careful Investigations show that the
crank-case should be drained after
three or four days of work. The clean
est of the oil may be poured back to
flush the case. After it has been
drained out, refill with new oil. The
old oil is useful in the hog and poultry
houses. 4.

Dairyman Should Know y
Every Cow in His Herd

No GARY COW has ever produced her
maximum unless her feeder knew her.
Knowing her means more than simply
calling her by name and reciting the
names of her ancestors. 1t means un.
derstanding her every need, desire
and condition. BY means Of pair of
scales, Babcock testing outfit and a
little work, every dairyman could
know what each COW In his herd pro-
duces, and thus have sound basis on
which to feed and judge the individual
merits OF each cow In his herd.

DAIRY
POINTS
Considerable Reduction
in Calf Raising Costs

The high cost of raising calves can

with other food, says Prof S. W.
Mead, New Jersey State College Of
Agriculture.
"The supplemental food method Of
raising calves has been used with con-
calves so raised will not be quite as
fat and sleek as calves which. are
raised on the maximum amount OF
milk, they WILL nevertheless, develop
into healthy, normal animals.
"Allow the calf to remain with the
colostrum is laxative in its action and
insures the proper action Of the bowels
for the first few days.
Take the calf from the COW at the
end of AZ hours and feed 1t from
pail. The amount to be fed depends
en- the size and vigor of the calf. On
the average, three feedings a day, to-
falling six to eight pounds, are given
during the first few days.
This amount should be increased
gradually as long as the calf's appetite
remains good and as long as scours do
not set in. If the calf does scour, the
milk should be taken away for one OF
two feelings and dose of castor oil
administered
by the time the calf Is three or four
weeks old 1t should be given all the
alfalfa and clover hay it will eat and
good grain mixture. The following
has been used with success:
400 pounds of zoo pounds of OF,
corn meal meal, old proc
100 pounds of ess
wheat bran 100 pounds ground
The more grain and hay the calf
eats the less milk will be required. In
parts of the country where skim milk
Is available the calf should be changed
gradually at two or three weeks of
age from whole milk to skim milk.
The amount of skim milk fed, how
ever, should not exceed what would
usually be given of whole milk.
'sy the time the calf is four
months old the milk feeding may be
discontinued and the calf raised on
grain and hay. But remember, the
calves will not look as fat and sleek
as those fed milk to a later age.

will be the same"

Calves to Develop Well
Must Have Sanitary Pen,

If calves are to remain healthy and
develop perfectly they must not only
be correctly fed but must have sani-
tary quarters when in the stable. Re-
cent Investigations have shown that
lack of sunlight is powerful con-
tributory cause Of ricketts, in all young
animals. Direct sunshine kills germs
and, therefore, lessons the liability to
scours and other calfhood ailments.
Calf pens are too often dark, damp,
dirty and badly ventilated.
Foul bedding is even more common
and is equally detrimental.

Satisfy Hankering for
