Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Peter Pelican did not know much about working magic.
 The Raggedys had seen a great deal of Magical things in their adventures through the deep. deep woods. but they had always watched someone else make the magical things with their own magical charms.
 Now, the Raggedys and Peter Pel ictan were trying to work magic with the magical charms which belonged to Crookelookie, the magician.
 And, with these magical charms the three kind friends were trying to change Crookelookie from a mon key and Humpylumpy from Polly parrot back into men again. This was hard to do, because the Raggedys could not read from the Magician's large magical book. Neither could Peter Pelican. But, even though Crookelookie and his brother, Humpylumpy had tried to harm them, the Raggedys felt it their duty to
 So Raggedy Ann placed all of CrookeIookie's magical charms in a circle. Crookelookie had lot of of magical charms. There were six left handed shoe buttons, three jack stones, a pearl handled knife without any blades, three holes out or dougn- nuts in a little blue bottle, 15 chink- apins on string and lot of other very magical things.
 q cannot remember how Crooke- .1ookie placed the magical charms when he tried to make monkeys out of us!' Raggedy Ann said to Rag gedy Andy
 .Neither can T." Raggedy Andy re- piled, But we will just have to do the best we can"
 So, when all the wonderful mag ical charms had been placed in a circle, the Raggedys and Peter Pen- can danced about and sang the mag teal song Crookelookie had sung be- fore Then, the three friends stood upon their heads just as Crookelookie had done, with their eyes closed.
 When they had stood this way for almost five minutes, the Raggedys and Peter Pelican were lifted up and showed right into the chicken coop at the side of the room and they heard Crookeloolxie laugh, real, real hard like this, Flaw, haw, haw!
 It made cold shivers run up and down Peter Pelican's back. But not Raggedy Ann's' and Raggedy Andy s because they were made out of cloth and stuffed with nice white cotton
 The magical charms had worked. Crookelookie was not monkey any more and Humpylumpy was not Polly parrot any more. But, instead of being grateful to the Raggedys and Peter Pelican. the two mean brothers had showed the Raggedys

Hydrocyanic Acid as
Fumigant for Pests
Absorbed in Quantities Suf-
ficient to Be Harmful

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Because hydrocyanic acid, IN the
gaseous form, is used extensively In
the United States as a fumigant for
the destruction of insects and rodents,
it often comes in contact with fruits,
vegetables and other foods, and thus
may be absorbed in sufficient quantity
to be dangerous to man. In recent in
vestigations the bureau Of chemistry
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture has determined the guam
tity of the fumigant which is absorbed
and retained by various foodstuffs, all
products examined being found to abb
sorb the acid to some extent.
Results of the Investigations are
given in Department Bulletin 1149,
just issued. No conclusions, however,
as to the safety of fumigated foods for
consumption are drawn in this bull
letin Chemical observations alone are
included. Determinations of the guam
titles Of -hydrocyanic acid injurious to
human health lie in the domain of the
pharmacologist.

ture, Washington, as long as the sup

Entirely Dry Fodder
Will Make Good Silage

Farmers who do not get their silage
made before frost may have good
silage if they will utilize the dry fod-
der for this purpose, according to the
live stock men at the New York State
College of Agriculture.
Fodder silage not only makes better
feed than dry fodder, but it is also
more convenient to feed. Even though
the corn fodder appears dry and wilt
ed, the stalk will be found to contain
considerable moisture. If there is not
enough moisture in the corn to pack
the corn well in the silo, additional
water should be added. By adding
this to the fanbox the fan thoroughly
distributes the additional water.
Even entirely dry fodder will make
good silage, providing the water Is
added in equal weight to the fodder.
In any case, the fodder should be
tramped down thoroughly.
Silage made in this manner will keep
WELL The quality is not quite as good
as that made from corn cut while still
green and no extra water added, but it
makes excellent feed. Silage made
from corn fodder, further, is not nearly
as sour. It has pleasant sweet smell
and the cows not only like it, but
thrive on it as well.

Many Injurious Inset
Pests Nav Be DESTROYED

Since many troublesome insects hi
bernate in dead plants and trash and
in grass and weeds along the borders
of cultivated land, 81. A. Gossard, en-
tomologist of the Ohio experiment
station, states that large numbers Of
them may be destroyed in late fall or
very early spring by burning the col
lected trash and dead grass.
Tarnished plant bugs, squash bugs,
and slugs are cited as examples.
These pests pass the winter in weedy
borders, among refuse, under stones
and other objects. They could be al
most entirely eliminated if entire COM
munities would cooperate in remov-
ing all means for their protection dur
ing winter.
Potato stalks, squash vines, onion
tops, asparagus plants, bean and pea
vines, and the like furnish shelter
during the winter for many insects
that feed upon these plants.
Fall blowing, where soil conditions
permit the practice, will result in the
destruction of many cutworms, white
grubs, corn ear worms, army worms,
and eggs of the grasshopper, where
these pests are numerous-Weekly

Scab Seriously Reduces
Yield of Wheat Crop

Scab seriously reduces the yield of
wheat in infected fields throughout the
central states and eastward. And it
not only affects wheat, but other grains
and grasses as well. The cause of
this disease is a tiny fungous parasite,
which grows in the wheat plant lit
tie like the wheat plant itself grows in
the soil, and this parasite destroys the
parts of the wheat plant in which it
grows.
The same parasite also grows on
corn, and naturally wheat following
corn may be seriously affected by scab.
In order to control the disease the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture recommends that the farmer
(1) Avoid sowing wheat after corn
unless the cornstalks are removed and
the stubble completely plowed under.
(2) Pillow under all crop refuse and
clean up the old straw and grasses
along the fence rows and in nearby
waste places.
(3) Use clean seed of adapted va
rieties. Seed should be thoroughly
cleaned, graded and treated.
"a Sow wheat when the ground is
cool, winter wheat on the latest date
in the fall, and spring wheat on the
earliest safe date in the spring.
If you are interested in making a
more thorough study of the scab prob
lem write to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington, D.

Fall or Winter Best
Time to Fight Borer
Canes Infested Should Be
Cut Before Bugs Emerge.

prepared by the United States Department
CT Agriculturel
Fall or winter is the best time to
apply control measures to raspberry,
blackberry or dewberry crops infested
by the red-necked raspberry cane
borer, according to Farmers Bulletin
1886, by F. H. Chittenden, entomolo-
gist. The damage to these crops is
caused by a fat-headed, milk-white
borer, which is the larya of a small,
slender, velvet-black beetle with cop
perry red or golden thorax ('neck'').
The larvae form irregular swellings or
gals, which gradually enlarge the
canes and split the bark. Canes thus
infested die, or become weakened and
fail to develop crop. The beetle also
does some injury by feeding on the
leaves of the plants.
To control the insect the infested
canes should be cut out in the fall or
winter, or in the early spring before
the beetles have emerged from them.
All cuttings should be promptly
burned. To insure thoroughness, all
wild blackberry, raspberry or dew
berry plants nearby should receive the
same attention Cooperation among
neighboring fruit growers in the OBJ
servance of these measures for sue
cessive years is highly desirable.

Find Sulphur Practical
Remedy for Poultry Ills

The argument of some pOultrymen
that sulphur is harmful to fowls in
wet weather is declared by N. w. San
born, poultry specialist Of the Florida
college of agriculture, to be a mis-
taken idea. In fact, the birds that
have been given sulphur in their feed
for some time are better able to stand
long wet periods than they otherwise
would be.
The primary purpose for which sui
phur is recommended Is to modify the
attacks of sorehead, according to DR..
Sanborn. Sorehead-a disease OF
poultry that is similar to measles
which affect children, in that it never
attacks the same bird more than once
lis considered one Of the very worst
troubles with which the Florida poul-
TRUMAN has to contend. Some states,
after conducting experimental tests
with a number of remedies, have adj
vocated the incubation Of the poultry
with a serum. However, Florida has
never conducted any such tests, but its
specialists have learned that sulphur
is a practical remedy.
DR.. Sanborn recommends that the
sulphur equal 1 per cent Of the roash,
with which it should be mixed. 1t is
particularly recommended for growing
chickens. serving not only to modify
the disease but also as food. The
sorehead attacks are only mild when
sulphur is fed because the chickens
body and system are kept in strong.

To Produce Winter Eggs
Give Pullets Good Care

Finishing the pullets" means get
ting the young stock in condition
which will allow them to go through
the winter in good health, produce q
good number of eggs and develop a
resistance against disease, says w. II.
Allen, extension poultry specialist, New
Jersey agricultural experiment station.
The pullet is allowed to reach it's
maximum growth before it is permitted
to lay eggs. In Leghorns this will oc-
cur when they are about five months
old, and with the dual purpose breeds,
such as Rhode Island Red and Ply
mouth Rock, it will take at least a
month longer. The lighter breeds,
such as the Leghorns, should weigh at
least three pounds at time Of condi-
tioning, and the heavier breeds, like
the Rhode Island Red, should weigh
from four to four and half pounds.
The ration used in conditioning
flock consists largely Of fattening
foods, such as corn, wheat, oats and
their by-products, with as little animal
protein as possible. A good scratch
feed consists of equal parts Of cracked
corn and wheat. This is fed twice
day, approximately six to eight pounds
per 100 birds at each feeding.
A good mash for this period Is two
parts Of wheat bran, two parts of corn
meal, two parts of ground oats, two
parts Of flour middlings, and one part
Of meat Scrip. This mash is kept be
fore the pullets at all times. One hun
bred growing pullets eat five to ten
pounds of it day.
The conditioning period takes ap-
proximately month, two weeks on the
range and two weeks in the laying
quarters. AS soon as the pullets show
signs of laying on the range, they are
housed, and the same feed continued
for two weeks before changing to a
laying ration.
When the pulIets are housed they
need just as much green feed and ex-
ercise as if still on the range.
Oyster shells are kept where the
birds can always get them.
