PARROT ALMOST TOO CLEVER
Possibility That Indiana Bird May
Lose a Little, If Not All, Of
Its Popularity.

Mr.. and Mrs. Watt Irwin, of Koko-
mo, have a parrot which is interesting.
Reuben easily fits into the Irwin family
circle in the evening, injecting remarks
occasionally and at times seeming to
ponder. He has made life a burden TO
some of the neighborhood boys whose
mothers call them from play to OBJ
noxious tasks. So cleverly does he
initiate the voices of the mothers that
the little chaps are deceived.
The Twins noticed Reuben hanging
by his feet from the top OF the cage
and going through other exercises soon
after they bought him.
Look, Reuben's doing stunts :" Mrs.
Irwin exclaimed.
Stunts !" yelled the bird. Ever after
that when he began the performance
he always prefaced it with the word.
The Twins had been out one SUM-
day afternoon and had come back to
the house with visitors, to show the
parrot. When they got ready to leave

SmoKe Screen from 5~saptano.
The use of dense smoke clouds by
naval vessels for the purpose Of
screening battleships from the enemy,
has been practiced for a long time.
Fast destroyers are usually employed
to lay the cloud Of heavy smoke,
which is produced by regulating fuel
and draft in the main boilers. Recent
tests, however, have proved the
efficacy of seaplanes in this respect.
In fact, the seaplane has at least two
advantages over the destroyer: It can
lay a screen much more rapidly; 1t
can regulate the height of the screen
above water, and may make 1t con
pletely envelop an object by flying
we and around the latter. When a
seaplane is used for laying the screen,
the smoke results from the introduc-
ton into the exhaust pipe Of chemi-
calls that increase the volume as well
as the density of the exhaust gases.

Value of Pure Bred Is
TAUGHT by County Agent

A county agent in Colorado reported
to the United States Department of
Agriculture a convincing method he
has used in furthering the better-sires
work in his county. A butchering and
meat-cutting demonstration was given
with two market hogs, one a pure-bred
Duroc Jersey and the other scrub red
hog. The hogs were weighed, then
slaughtered and dressed, and weighed
again. The live weight of each hog
was practically the same. The dress
ing percentage of the pure bred was
about per cent more than that of
the scrub. The good hog figured to be
worth $2.10 more than the other. This
was but fraction of the difference In
value between the two hogs, however,
as the pure bred was but half as old
as the scrub hog, and had consumed
much less feed.
The meat-cutting demonstration was
held in the auditorium of the county
school, and more than 500 men and
women were present. The two car
cases were cut into the various cuts
of meat, showing the superior quality
of the meat of the pure-bred hog.

Poultry Manure Rich in
Nitrogen If Protected

Poultry manure is particularly rich
in nitrogen, but if not protected it rap
idly loses this valuable plantfood ele-
ment, and this means loss to the in
direct income from farm poultry which
might well be conserved for the farm.
For the garden, farmer may bal
ance the product by taking 80 pounds
poultry manure ard adding to it ten
pounds dry loan or absorbent, such as
peat moss or slaavings, 10 pounds
phosphoric acid and eight pounds
kainite. The analysis Of this mixture
is Ia per cent nitrogen, AZ per cent
phosphoric acid and 2 per cent potash.
For such vegetable crops as lettuce,
which require higher content of nj
trogen for forcing rapid growth, a
greater proportion of poultry manure
may be used in the fertilizer, or this
mixture may be used and supplement-
ed with top dressing of nitrate Of
soda to the trucking crop. The dry
loan or. the peat moss prevents the
fertilizer from becoming sticky, which
would be the case If the phosphoric
acid and kainite were mixed alone
with the droppings to prevent the es-
cape Of nitrogen.

Black Raspberry
Hurt by Disease
Growers in Many Sections
Suffer Heavy Losses
From New Ailment.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Growers of black raspberries in va
rious parts of the United States, par
ticularly in Ohio and New York, have
been suffering discouraging losses in
many instances from a mysterious
disease, which, for convenience is
called eastern blue-stem. During the
last few years, the United States De
partment of Agriculture has been
studying the disease in certain local
tiles and now sums up what is known
about it in Department Circular 227,
Eastern Blue-Stem of the Black Rasp-
berry, by r. B. Wilcox.
Profits curtailed.
The disease, which ia marked by
peculiar curling of the young leaves
and blue stripes on the canes, gradu-
ally reduces the productivity of the
plantations and kills the affected
plants in two or three years. In
some sections where raspberries have
been grown extensively for years
profits are curtailed to such an ex-
tent that farmers are not encouraged
to stay in the business and the center
of production is gradually shifting as
disease follows the new paintings.
Where Investigations have been made
the infection of fields has ranged from
o to IS per cent, and total loss in
the northeastern part of the country
is thought to be very large. Some
slightly infected patches have been
found in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The general effect of blue-stem is
gradual stunning of the plant, with a
reduction Of the yield and dwarfing
of the berries. When affected tips
are planted they make little growth,
and the following spring they start
feebly or not at all. Often the grower
may suspect that the trouble is win
4er-killing. No recoveries have ever
been noted. If the affected parts are
cut off the disease will soon show up
in another part. Plants started by
roofing the tips of diseased plants
will always have the disease. No
bacteria or fungi have yet been found
that might be said to be the cause,
UuL C6rLdlu 16dIuT0S Ol Lie uudlduys
such as the nothing and deformity
of the leaves and the stunning and
final death of the plants, indicate that
it may be of the mosaic type.
Diseased Tips Planted.
Blue-stem becomes established by
the planting of diseased tips, but at
the time Of digging it is impossible
to recognize those that carry the in
lection, and the symptoms do not APP
pear early enough in the spring SO
that the diseased tips can be found
before they have made a growth of
several inches. Thus far no very
resistant variety has been found, and
no spray is known to be effective.
The only practical method to get
ahead Of blue-stem is to get stock
from a nursery known to be free of
1t and set as far as practicable from
diseased plantations. Young fields
must be carefully watched and plants
showing blue-stem symptoms removed
and replaced by healthy tips.

discussion Of the disease may get a

PAYS TO CANDLE EVERY EGG
Testing May Be Done With Much Ac-
curacy by Passing Electric Light
Under Tray.

Poultrymen have learned 1t pays to
candle every egg that goes into the In
cubator. If only a few eggs are to be
incubated. each one can be candled
separately, but the breeder OF many
chicks does not always have time fo1
this. Instead Of cGndling them In the
rush to get all the incubators going
he often piles in the eggs and takes a
chance on their being fertile. Every
infertile egg takes up space that could
be used in incubating a good egg.
Gambling may be done with fair de-
gree of accuracy by passing an electric
light bulb under the tray after the
eggs have been put in the incubator.
Infertile or stale eggs may be detect
ed in this way. This is not to be rec
commended If time will permit thorough
Gambling, but it is better than using
uncandled eggs.

Increase Food Value
Of Potatoes by Spray
Has Effect of Controlling
Diseases and Helps Yield.
(Prepared by the United States Department.
of Agricultural

(Prepared by the United States Department.
of Agriculture.)
Spraying potatoes with such copper
sprays as bordeaux, pickering sprays,
and barium water sprays not
only has the effect of controlling the
diseases for which they are applied,
hut, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture, thorough
and timely spraying usually greatly
increases the yield, influences the
composition of the tubers, and in
creases their keeping qualities.
For many years observers have re-
ported also a stimulating effect of
bordeaux mixture on potato foliage
and gain in yield even when no
diseases were present. The why and
how of this effect of copper have been
much discussed by scientists and
many experiments made. An interest
ing contribution to this subject has
lately been made by f. G. Cook Of
the bureau of chemistry in depart
ment bulletin 1146, where evidence is
presented to show that bordeaux and
other copper sprays increase the
starch and nitrogen constituents of
the potato tubers and consequently
make them more valuable for food
and industrial uses.
The bulletin contains considerable
data collected from number Of sta
tons doing experimental work with
copper sprays on potatoes and should
be of interest to the plant physiolo-
gists and others doing investigational
work of this nature. Results OBJ
tanned in seven states Virginia,
Maine, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, New
! York, Connecticut and New Jersey,
showed an average of 1851 pounds of
solids of the tubers per acre for the
non-copper sprayed plants and 3,430
for the copper-sprayed plants, an av-
erage increase of 1924 per cent, or 48
bushels, due apparently to the use of
copper sprays. The results should
furnish additional support to the prac-
tice of spraying potatoes.

When milk is used as the sole drink
for chickens no other animal protein
is necessary.
Poultry raisers who produce capons
for market should use judgment as to
the breed of chickens used for this pur-
pose. Leghorns and similar small
breeds, which are essentially egg lay
ers. should not be used.
The young poults should be fed when
forty-eight hours old. Eggs, corn
bread and clabbered milk, with hard
boiled eggs occasionally, is d good
starting feed. They should have fresh
water, charcoal and grit, or sand
should be scattered in the pen.
Ducks and geese are quite similar in
their nature, and the same general
rules apply pretty much to both.
1t certainly is fact that the early
Matched chicks get good start, and
therefore are better able to stand the
hot weather when it comes.
The brooding of baby chicks is re-
garded too lightly by many. Very oft
en- 1t is due to lack of thought on the
part Of the attendant, while again it Is
the utter lack of knowledge of tina
fundamental principles involved.

CHICK LOSS IS UNNECESSARY
Timely and Important Points in Poul-
try Raising Given by Missouri
College Expert.

Though only half the chicks Matched
In Missouri are raised to maturity.
most of the losses are preyentable,
according to NJ. A. Seaton of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture.
At the present time under ordinary
farm conditions the colony system of
brooding chicks is preferable. The
grees Fahrenheit when the chicks are
placed in the brooder, and then grad
ually decreased to suit the need of
the chicks. If ample room is supplied
the chicks will regulate their heat by
either crowding closer to the stove or
by moving away.
An abundant supply of clean, fresh
water should be kept before the chicks
at all times in some form Of suitable
drinking fountains. Do not put the
water in an open vessel, such as
saucer, or the chicks will get into 1t
and become chilled.
Feeding is a very important factor
in chick raising. Do not feed the
chick until it is fifty hours old or old
er, as the yolk is taken into the chicks
body just before 1t is Matched and so
ample food is present for some time.
The first feed should be composed OF
a few grains of clean sand or fine
chick grit, fed in fiat pan or spread
on a cardboard. This should be fol-
lowed with a feed of rolled oats and
bread crumbs, and for the first few
days Of the chicks life they should be
given three or four feeds of rolled
oats and one feed Of hard-hoiled eggs.
The rolled oats should gradually be
replaced with some form of grain mix
ture, either cornmeal, chick food or
any form of fine grain mixture A
dry mash composed of equal weights
of bran, cornmeal and shorts should
be added to the ration at the end OF
the first week. This mash should be
fed sparingly at first and then grad
ually increased. Feed little and often,
and feed all the feed in dry form.
Milk is an excellent feed for chicks
and they should be fed abundant sup
ply Of it at all times. 1t prevents
many Intestinal diseases, supplies Vi
tamines and also is a good source Of
protein, which is necessary in chick
rations.

Crispness and Tenderness
Come With Rapid Growth

To have good vegetables most of
them must grow rapidly. If they grow
slowly the leaf crops will be tough
and will get strong quickly. Crispness
and tenderness come with rapid
growth. Peas and beans are better
favored. Radishes are less pitny.
Corn is deeper and better set, and 1
think the flavor is better, too.
Rich soil is prime factor in forcing
rapid growth, but it is not all. Gull
tivation to preserve the soil moisture
is help. Irrigation is not much prac-
ticed but where it is possible it will
often save a crop from a severe
check in a dry spell, and these checks
make for toughness.
It has been shown by tests that lit
tie artificial feeding will not only make
vegetables better in quality but in
many cases will keep such plants as
tomatoes setting when ordinarily they
stop In hot weather. Then shade or
partial shade will often make the leaf
crops more tender and sweet.
