BILL AIDS ARCHITECTS.

a bill amending the act providing
for the examination and registration
of architects and TO regulate the prac-
tice of architecture in the District
was sent to Congress by the Commits
sioners today with a request that 1t
be introduced at the current session.
The amendment is designed to cure
certain defects in the present law by
making changes of language in some
sections where the intent is not clear,
and to add new provisions for making
the law more workable. It also ex-
tends the privilege of registration to
corporations, all of whose officers and
directors are registered architects, and
removes the requirement that regis
trants record their certificates with
the Board of Commissioners.

Notion That Farm Seeds
Run Out Is Dispelled

The old notion that seed runs out
If grown many years In succession on
a single farm and that new seed must
be brought In by purchase or by trad
ing with the neighbors has been well
dispelled from the minds Of farmers.
This idea was one Of the worst OBJ
stacles to the cause Of good seed and
1t took years Of education and demon
stration to convince crop growers that
1t was all wrong.
Now, instead Of trading seed and
getting some of the breeding of which
Is unknown and which may introduce
weeds onto his own farm, the grower
keeps his seed clean, grows pure-bred
varieties, cleans and grades his seed
thoroughly with the tanning mill to
get rid Of the small weak kernels and
any foreign seed, and as result has
a high grade of pure-bred seed
adapted to his particular conditions
by being grown and selected on his
own farm.
The effort to provide farmers with
good seed, carried on by the Wiscon-

principles of adequate range sailing

Best Records in Illinois
Show Average Gain of
$2.45 on Each Hen.

Chickens may be side line on some
farms, but 234 Illinois farmers who
Yco-operated last year with the extern
sion service of the college of agricul-
ture, University of Illinois, in keeping
records on their flocks realized total
profits of S43,77S.01 from their poultry
raising, according to summary Of
their records prepared by John VAN
dervort, poultry extension specialist.
Receipts and Expenses.
The total labor income which the
farmers realized from their poultry
amounted to S66,53S54. Cash receipts
from eggs alone amounted TO $50, 154 10,
while the sale of market poultry
brought In cash receipts totalling S42,-
77S.7S. The total cash receipts from
all sources amounted to $14S, 59S.97.
The bill for chicken feed on the 234
record farms amounted TO S73,276.20.
There were SO, 126 chickens kept on the
234 record farms, while 4,164,56S eggs
were laid. This was 347,047 dozen
eggs, II, 56S cases or little more than
2S carloads of eggs of 400 cases
each.
The object of the flock record prof.
ect, under which the records were
kept, is to point out corresponding
practices in farm poultry raising. In
this connection the summary of the
records brings out some striking con-
trasts between the best one-third of
the records and the poorest one-third.
In the case of egg production per hen,
for instance, the average for that
third of the records which were best
was lis eggs hen, while the average
for the poorest one-third was 100 eggs
q hen, or one and one-half dozens a
year less. With eggs at so cents q
dozen, the average income from the
hens in the poorest one-third Of the
records, therefore, would average As
cents less a year than that from the
hens in the best one-third of the
records, Vandervort pointed out.
Culled Flocks Best.
Farmers who turned in the best one
third of the records culled out 50
per cent of their hens while those who
turned In the poorest records cuiled
only 10 per cent. Only IL per cent
of the hens died on the farms making
up the best one-third, while IA per cent
died on the poorest one-third. Perhaps
the most striking difference between
the best one-third and the poorest one
third of the records was in point OF
profits from each hen. Farms from
which the best records came realized
an average profit of S2.45 on each hen,
while that one-third of the farms
which had the poorest records realized
an average profit of six-tenths of
one cent on each hen. The best one
third showed meat receipts of S1.6S
hen in contrast to So cents from the
poorest one-third, while the feed cost
per hen on the best farm records was
SOL as compared to $1.99 on the poor
est cne-third. In other words, it cost
the farmers who had the poorest rec
ords about the same for feed as 1t did
those who had the best records, Van
dervort said. Farmers who turned In
that one-third Of the records which
were best realized an average Of $1.41
return for each hour of their labor,
while those who turned in the poorest
records got only Is cents for each hour

Kafir for Dairy Feed

A very slight advantage was found
In ground corn as compared with
ground kafir during tests conducted at
the Kansas Agricultural college. How
ever, the advantage In producing milk

practically as good as the other In
maintaining body weights. A basal ra-
ton of alfalfa hay and sorgo silage
was used. In addition the cows re-
ceived grain ration consisting of
four parts of the grain to be compared,
two parts of wheat bran and one part
Of linseed oil meal.
