American Turkhen Found
to Be Extremely Hardy


Have you ever heard of the turkhen?
1t is not q new bird but it is new to
America. 1t has been bred for cen
turtles in Russia, where it was the ia
vored and protected bird of the royal
family. Three of these birds were
brought to California by George P.
Schaefer. proprietor of "Halo Sacre-
do breeding farm, Menlo Park, Cal.
Mr.. Schaefer crossed these birds with
Rhode Island Reds, the resultant is
sue being the much-talked-of fowl, the
American turkhen. The economical
value of the fowl is said to be very
considerable, it being the producer of
a high average of large white eggs.
while its abundant flesh is juicy and
white. The breed is extremely hardy
and the chicks mature quickly. The
writer has personal knowledge of so
per cent hatch of eggs shipped from
California. The chicks were hardy
and strong and easily raised. the NOR
tality being far below that Of ordinary
chicks. At present the supply is linn
tied, but for the future this may be-
come a widely-raised breed.-Seed

Dairy Cows Need Plenty
of Water During Winter

Lots of farmers who milk a few
cows during the winter months, have
the idea that because the water is
cold. it cuts down on the milk flow.
This is hardly the correct way of put
ting it, for you will find that the real
reason dairy cows don't give full milk
production when given ice water, is
because they don't drink enough of it.
Professor Weaver of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station has found that it
takes about four pounds of water for
every pound Of milk cow gives, no
matter what temperature the water is.
When the water Is SO cold that the
cows drink less. they give less milk.
Try heating the water for them. and
see II It doesn't make difference.

Solitary Life Led
BY Aged Anchorite

In the center of a forest not far
from CZernovitz in the Buknovinian
province of Rumania lives an old her.
NIT whose real name nobody knows,
but who is called Metro" At least
eighty years old, he has led solitary
existence since 1910. 1t is said that
he then met financial misfortune and
decided to cut himself off from the
world. He has built two primitive
huts, one for winter and one for sum
mer, and he never strays more than
a few hundred yards from them. He
keeps a leaf fire burning always and is
an ardent sun worshiper. His food
consists chiefly of acorns and other
nuts. Invariably he refuses to ac-
cept food or other gifts from visit.
ors. His clothes are of the simplest,
and are tied together by cords. When
he bathes he strips himself and lets
the rain do the rest. He is held in
great respect by the natives of the To-
cality, but he disiikes and resents the
presence of strangers.

gg-Producing Pullets
Need Good Protein Feed

For egg production puliets should
have access to protein feed. The best
method of supplying the protein feed
is by feeding dry mash from self
feeder.
The following dry mash is recon-
mended for your attention:
One part by weight of wheat bran.
One part by weight of middlings.
One part by weight of ground corn
nr corn meal.
One part by weight OF heavy oats.
One part by weight of meat scrap.
Another dry mash used with success
is:
Equal parts of ground wheat, oats.
corn and meat scrap. The amount of
meat scrap used can be somewhat re-
duced If milk is fed. A good scratch
feed of homegrown feeds and as good
as can be had is:
Five parts wheat. three parts CORN
and two part oats.

and Central regions the common spe-
cies is the red-eyed vireo, but the

throated vireos also are abundant
The Philadelphia. blue-headed, hutton,

Are Vireos Beneficial?
AS with other common species of
birds, the question as to whether or
not vireos are beneficial is legitimately
raised, and to answer it. the biological
survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has made study
Of their food habits. by examining the
stomach contents Of great many of
these birds.
The conclusions reached are set
forth in a recent report Department
Bulletin, 1867. "Food Habits of the
Vireos: A Family of Insectivorous
Birds" The food of the several vireos
is shown to be very similar though
sometimes varying in proportions.
Most of the insects eaten are either
neutral or definitely injurious in their
economic relations, and may be placed
on the credit side of the account OF
these birds.

All vireos are especially fond of
caterpillars. Scale insects are no.

tree pests are freely eaten. Many de-
structive weevils were found in the
stomachs examined, including such
forms as the clover-leaf, clover-root,
cotton-boll, and nut weevils, the plum
curculio and bark beetles. Vireos also
destroy ANTS and grasshoppers. Use
full insects taken by the vireos include
some of the hymenopterans, predaci-
Gus bugs and beetles, among which
are ladybird beetles, which are almost
uniformly beneficial. Although it is
regretted that vireos consume as many
ladybirds as the evidence indicates.
yet they also devour many of the pests
attacked by the ladybirds, which must,
in part excuse them. AS fruit eaters
the vireos are practically harmless.

Fall or Spring Flowing
for Improved Corn Crop

Whether fall or spring blowing is
better for corn depends on soil condi-
tons to a large extent. Soils that are
heavy and approximating the gumbo
types are better plowed in the fall so
the elements will act on them In the
winter On the other hand soils which
have but little humus in them and
which run together badly before
spring will do better when plowed In
the spring. One purpose Of blowing
is to aerate the soil SO as to let air
in to hasten the decomposition of hui
mus for the liberation of plant food.
but when this aeration is given too
far ahead Of growing crop the area
ton may lose its action before the
crops begin to grow.
There are not many soils of this
type, however, so as rule 1t is better
to pillow in the fall when the soil con-
tains fair amount Of humus or when
it is dark in color; or when a good
amount of fresh organic matter. such
as clover or manure, is to be plowed
under. The action of the organic mat.
ter or humus is to keep the soil from
running together. Fall blowing also
serves to spread large part of heavy
work over a longer period of the year
instead of having so much just at
planting time.

Treating Potatoes

Treating seed potatoes with cOrr0-

used more than four or five times I'M
til it is discarded and fresh supply

AS corrosive sublimate reacts In

vessels. such as candy buckets or bar

potatoes is to place them in bags,

Fertilizer Experiments
Conducted in Wisconsin

Some very interesting data are to
be found in research bulletin No. 60.
Fertilizer Experiments" issued by
the agricultural experiment station,
Madison. Wis. For example, 1t was
found that much greater results are to
be obtained when the commercial fer
tilizer is applied one-half inch above
the planted corn. Fertilizer mixed
with the seed often retards or elimi-
mates termination. For this reason
many users OF commercial fertilizer
have been disappointed in the results
secured. They got the fertilizer too
close to the seed.
Oats. as rule, do not need appli-
cations of commercial fertilizer. Some
fields were benefited, though not
many.
In the case Of a peat soil, 300
pounds per acre Of 0-1O-1O fertilizer
applied in the row increased the yield
of cabbage more than when 1900
pounds was applied broadcast. Ap-
plication in the row thus seems to be
more economical than broadcast ap-.
plication for cabbage.
Application Of fertilizer below or
to the side Of the potato seed usually
results in much better stand and
yield than application with or direct
ly above the seed.
Potato sprouts are very tender and
are easily injured If they come In
contact with high concentrations of
fertilizers as occurs with applications
directly above the seed.

this carefully. The clnDhea9
should dominate In here, and
weight into the ball. There
should should not be any ap.

The clubhead should precede
everything. especially the right
shoulder. This, Of course, elimin-
ates q rushing OF the hands which
mean the hands reach the vertical
line to the ball way In advance Of
clubhead which Is disastrous.
Guard against thisl JIG you see
or feel them leading think Of snap
sng the ball off more quickly The
hands should go naturally and
should not have that feeling OF
going into the bali first or leading,
but they should go. through the
bail and up with it after the hit.
While they are a tiny bit back
even or tiny bit ahead OF the ball
at contact. you should feel them as
one large hand punched at the ball;
just as IL they were q clubhead,

III You get them q little ahead

the cIubhead which interferes with

thought to think Of using the
wrists little more on this down I
ward back half Of the swing. The
thing to get is the flick OF the
cIubhead through the ball with
eVenness, driving the ball on the
imaginary direction line.
Perhaps the word flip or whip
will give you the sharp and crisp

really is a. sort of crack-the-wllip
