Some Important Points
About Ducks and Geese

The laying season for ducks and
geese usually starts in February. The
Pekin duck lays about as many eggs
as the average hen, but she lays her
entire clutch in seven months, while
the hen takes about nine months, says
"a writer in the Farm Journal The
Runner duck extends its laying over
a longer period. The goose averages
about thirty eggs.
Geese pair, but a drake will mate
with four or more females. The eggs
from yearling ducks hatch we'll, but
to show strong fertility geese must be
about three years old. Ducks can be
proftably bred for four years, but
geese will be prolific for three or more
times that period. Ducks rarely be-
come broody. but geese are apt to
become broody after laying the first
clutch
The goose is grazing bird, but the
duck will thrive on limited quantity
of green food. Geese do not thrive
when yarded; ducks do
The drake Is recognized by the curl
In the tail feathers, but this curl is
not found on the gander
The average weight Of the goose is
twice that Of the duck.
The older the gander the more VI
cious he is apt to become during breed
ing season. The drake seldom shows
temper.
Geese cannot be proftably Matched
and reared artifcially, but incubators
and brooders have revolutionized the
duck business.
Nowadays geese are replacing tur-
keys on many festive occasions.

Maturity in Seven Months

About seven months are required
for a chicken to grow to maturity.
During that period of growth its feed
goes to the making Of bone, flesh and
feathers. When it becomes mature
its feed goes to the making of eggs.
If a bird natures and commences lay
ing in the fall she will continue lay
ing all winter if properly cared for.
Birds that are still growing when
cold weather comes will usually COM
mence laying late the next spring.

NEW RECORD MADE IN FIGHT ON
DREADED BOVINE TUBERCULO SIS

there is waiting list Of more than
two and one-half million cattle whose
owners desire to have them tested as
soon as practicable.
OF tho 642,6O2 cattle tested in Octo-
Der there were 24,44O which reacted
to the test, indicating that hey were
tuberculous. Such animals are imme-
diately disposed Of in accordance with
regulations for the prevention of their
acting as spreaders Of the injection Of
tuberculosis.

Fruit Tree Protectors

One can make his own fruit-tree
protectors at comparatively little
cost. Simply buy screen wire, 26 Or
80 inches wide. Then cut into short
strips just large enough to go around
the tree. If they are then rolled into
cylindrical shape, using a broomstick,
they will curl around the trunk and
hold that position. Galvanized screen
wire while more expensive, will last
several seasons.

Vitanines Are Lacking

Fall pigs suffer more from a lack
of vitamines than from anything else.
Pigs may have a perfectly balanced
ration in so far as protein, carbohy-
drate and fat are concerned but will
not thrive without vitamines, which
are present in rye or wheat pasture,
alfalfa or sweet clover hay, or fresh
milk. When vitamines are added to
a well-balanced ration the fall pig will
grow and fatten as rapidly and eco
nomically as the spring pig.

Control of Apple Scald

Oiled wrappers have proved to be
the most practical preventive of scald
found so far. The first consideration
is prompt cooling after harvest. Then
pack your apples, Using oiled wrappers
for each apple. Such apples should
come through storage in much better
condition. Write to the United States
Department of Agriculture for Farm
ers' Bulletin No. 1880 for more COM
plete discussion of the problem.

Prune off MangIed Roots.
1.-THE object of pruning the roots OF
the trees to be planted" says the
orchardist, lis to insure smooth wounds
which heal readily. In pruning, the
badly damaged roots should be re-
moved and the roots with ragged ends
cut back" Any roots that are I'M
usually long can be cut back even with
the others, suggests Moore. He warns
that it is not wise to sacrifice roots
other than those that are mangled ana
excessively lengthy. This pruning OF
the roots can take place just before the
trees are planted, but not too much
time should be taken to prune as the
roots dry out quickly.
That the holes should be dug wide
and deep enough to allow the root sys-
TEN room without any cramping, is adj
vocated by the orchardist. Trees are
usually set two to four inches deeper
than they stood in the nursery" he
SAYS. Then, too, it is very important
in the planting of any tree to have the
root system IN firm contact with the
soil. This requires fine soil and care
in packing it about the roots. Haste IN
filling in the soil about the roots GER
tainly makes waste in pl ng.
Moore's opinion.

Order Chicks Early

The poultryman who desires chicks
for next spring delivery should be
looking around for a poultry breeder
who sells chicks of good quality.
Many a man is forced to go without
chicks or to accept later Matched
chicks than desired because he has
been too slow in placing his order.
Place your order early and you will
receive what you want.

Increase Of Roup

Although roup is an all-year-round
disease. the worst epidemics come
with the shifting weather conditions
Of fall and spring. The disease
causes considerable loss and appears
to be increasing from year to year.
The true roup includes colds, bron-
chitis. catarrh, canker, diphtheria.
roup proper, and perhaps, chicken pox.
II usually comes with colds which start
when the birds have been exposed to
dampness. drafts and chill.

Keep After the Weeds

Just because the vegetable plants
are making good showing as a result
of the favorable showers and sun
shine, it must not be forgotten that the
weeds, too, are making even greater
strides. Unless the weeds are killed.
within a short time they will get ahead
of the vegetable plants and will crowd
the latter out or sap the life from the

Coats of wide stripes are almost
as much in evidence as those r1ade

Prune the Fruit Trees

Young trees, fruit or shade trees,
require attention avery season. The
pruning knife should be used quite
literally if the best result; are de-
sired. There is no doubt that the
fruit trees which are headed low
prove more satisfactory. They are
easier to get at when pruning, spray
ing and finally when picking the
fruit Grape vines require the same
attention. early in the spring.

 Direction Of George SChmaltZ

The Printing department ball team of the Landers Inter-depart- mcnt league has greatly improved in its play as can be seen from the box score of yesterdays game with the Shippers played at Landers' Recres. ton field. The Printers are new under the watchful eyes Of George Schmaltz and if this first game un- dor his direction Is a criterion Of the future work Of the Printers then the other teams in the league better watch out.
 The Printers have revenge in their hearts against the Flatware team, league leaders and 1t behooves tie Flatwares to get out and practice for the next tilt with the ink sn1er. CTS. The Printers are working lard to form good combination and ths result of their tolls in this respect is becoming evident. ....'

(BT BILLY EEANS)

 There is no more difficult role in baseball than that of pinch hitter.
 Yanked suddenly from the bench, with no opportunity to look over & few pitches, facing some sl:r twirler going al top speed, the task of the substitute batter is indeed difficult one.
 To Ernie Johnson of the New York Americans rightly belongs the title of champion pinchhitter,
 Johnson, Ieft-handed batter, is called upon by Manager Higgins more often in a pinch than any other utility man on the club.
 In a sense Miller Huggins regards Johnson as a mascot In the last few years he has come through so often in the pinch, thereby starting rallies that have won games, that he l invariably gets the assignment when pinch hit is much desired by the Yankees.
 Record Run as Pinch Hitter
 Last season in a run of Is times at bat Johnson managed 10 hit safely in 12 of his trips to the plate. In the collection of pinch-hits were number of drives good for extra bases.
 This season, while his record up to date has not been suite so inn pressive, yet 1t shows the way to the rest of the pinch hitters in the majors.
 Tn 10 times at bat he has made four safe hits, two of them doubles and two homo runs. Making a home run in pinch is certainly doing the unexpected, Johnson has twice delivered such a surprise.
 Perhaps the most dramatic per formance as pinch hitter was staged in a recent game with the Cleveland club,
 With Cleveland leading B.? and two men out in the last half of the ninth, Johnson was called upon by Manager Higgins 10 take up what seemed a loSt cause.
 Yokohama to This Homer
 Getting the count to two balls and two strikes, Johnson hit vel pitched ball by Benny Karr. Since Karr had the edge he wanted tc make Johnson hit bad ball The pitch was shoulder high and about six inches outside.

The Collins vile tetam is exceptionally strong in all departments and has large number of loyal rooters who VIII travel here with the team. Last year in the Pennington Valley league, the Collinsvillc nine outstripped all com pctitors and although the team met with an avalanche of hard luck, 1t made a pretty race for the pennant. This year the team has formed formidable combination and the Fal- cons will be forced to travel all the way to bring home two wins over the team.

 Manager Veniski is also planning to give twilight game tryout He has been of the opinion thai the twilight games would pay if they
 were conducted weekly and alter ltalking it over with the other mem
 hers of the team. the project looks
 very feasible. The Falcons will trav- icI 10 Rockville on July , to be the
 star attraction at an immense field
 day there. The locals are receiving numerous inquiries about games and
