FEED IMPORTANT
FOR THE HEIFER

1t is important that the young heifer
be fed so that she will grow at her
maximum. 1t is not necessary that
she be fat but she should receive such
feeds as will furnish nutrients for the
building Of bone and body tissue, and
keep her system in the best of con-
dition.
Good alfalfa hay will furnish large
portion of the nutrients necessary for
growth, and good silage will do the
rest The undersized or otherwise un-
thrifty heifer should be given a little
oats and corn, in addition to the al
falfa hay and silage This same treat
ment is given the heifers the second
year, until three or four months pre-
vious to calving, when oats and corn,
bran and a little oilmeal is fed
1t is good herd management to have
the heifer, and also the aged COW, in
good flesh at the time of freshening
She will then have reserve material
to draw upon after freshening. The
heavy producing COW will lose in
weight after freshening for a month
or more, even with liberal feeding.
If the COW is being grained pre-
paratory to calving, the ration should
be reduced and more of the laxative
feeds such as oilmeal and bran added
four or five days before she is due to
calve If the COW is in good physical
condition, she will have less trouble
In calving and will not be so subject
to retention of the afterbirth. When
the cow is in good physical condition
the afterbirth is usually expelled with
in three to six hours. If 1t is not ex-
PEELED it must be removed within the
first "a hours. When this becomes
necessary the cow usually gets THU
and decreases considerably in milk
flow. 1t is, therefore, very necessary
to watch the feeding and physical
condition of the COW previous to calv-
ing.

HIGH COST OF
HATCHING EGGS

It costs $1.O6 to raise a leghorn
chicken from the time the egg is set
until the bird is six months of age
This was revealed by the class in poul-
try management, conducted by Prof.
L. F. Payne, head of the poultry de-
partment at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. The class recently
completed a problem on the cost of
Matching eggs and rearing the pullets
to maturity.
The cost for Matching 100 chicks
was based on the following items:
Eggs at $5 hundred, fuel at 45 cents,
labor at SO cents, interest on invest
ment in incubator at 6S cents, depre-
citation 05 cents, tax 26 cents, making
a total of $1O27. The cost for run
ming the machine for three matches
was figured at approximately 10 cents
for each chick
The cost for brooding and rearing
from the time the chickens were
Matched to six months of age includes
interest, depreciation and tax on the
houses, brooders, drinking fountains,
fencing, feeding hoppers, supply hop
pers, self-feeders, and also such items
as straw, fuel and labor at 25 cents
an hour, totaled $54.68 for 100 chick
ems
Feed consumed by the 100 chickens
until they were six months of age
amounted TO 2,215 pounds of grain
and mash and 7O2 mounds of milk
The food cost of the chicks for the
first IL weeks was 20 cents a chick.
and for the last IL weeks it was Al
cents. This brought the total feed
cost Of 81 cents for each chick and
$1.25 for the entire expense account
of each of the chicks from the time
the eggs were set to maturity of the
chicks at six months of age. Deduct
ing from this the income from the
broilers and Gull pullets, the total cosr
for each pullet matured was $1.O6.

Dairymen Waste Leaves
of Alfalfa and Glover

Thousands of dollars have been
wasted by New York state dairymen
who have swept alfalfa and clover
leaves out of their cows hangers,
says w. T. Crandall, of the state col
lege of agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y.
The reason for this Is that with
good legume hay only IS to IS per
cent of the total protein Is needed
in the grain mixture. Cows getting
heavy feeds Of higher protein mix
lures lose their appetite for protein,
explains Mr. Crandall, and so they
refuse to eat the legume hay leaves,
which are highest in protein content.
Alfalfa leaves have 22.5 per cent total
protein, while the stems have but
Z per cent.
Dairymen should never have to
sweep these valuable leaves out of the
managers, says Mr.. Crandall, as they
are thereby sweeping out some of the
best feeds they can give their cows.
"Cut down on the high protein grain, :"
he advises, "and feed the COWS the
cheaper and better home grown hays.
If you swept leaves out of the man
gers, you were feeding just that much
more protein than was necessary and
next fall you should cut the amount
so that the cows will clean up all the
good alfalfa and clover hay"

Feather Eating Caused
by Idleness and Feeds

Feather eating is often caused by
idleness and lack Of something in the
ration which the birds crave. Over
crowding in a small poultry house
brings the birds In close contact with
each other and may start the habit.
One of the best remedies is to turn
the hens out on range, where they will
separate and become interested in
other things.
One pultryman reports that feeding
a little raw ground bone each day
seems to satisfy the birds appetite
and they stopped picking at each
other. Feed a balanced laying mash
and plenty of green feed. Scatter the
scratch grain in straw litter so the
hens will keep busy. If only a few
hens have the habit a short observa-
ton of the flock may locate the OF
tenders and they can be isolated.

Corn Is Basis of Best
RatiOns for All Swine

Corn is the basis of all of the best
and cheapest rations for swine Of all
ages. For pregnant sows. mixture
Of so pounds of corn. 45 pounds Of
oats, and pounds of tankage makes
good combination. Corn and skim
milk. equal parts by weight. is sat-
isfactory. Corn and tankage. parts
corn to 1 part tankage, is often used.
Sixty pounds Of corn. 35 pounds of
wheat shorts, and 5 pounds of tank
age is another good mixture. Feed
three times a day and all that the
sows will clean up quickly. Before
and after farrowing, bran should be
added to the mixture.
After the young are weaned, they
may be fed corn, wheat shorts, and
tankage all they will eat in a self
feeder. Or they may be fed the same
way on corn, soy beans, and min
eral mixture of 10 pounds acid phos-
phate, 10 pounds wood ashes, and
pound of salt.

Undesirable Apples

Undesirable varieties of apples may
be top-worked to better varieties.
Growers have found that by planting
Hibernal trees which are on Siberian
crab stock (roots) and working
these after three or four years to
more desirable varieties they have the
best possible combination for this Sec
tion Of the country. The crab gives
vigor and hardness in the root the
Hibernal hardness and strength in the
trunk and main limbs, and the third
variety gives quality Of fruit.

Control of CutWorms Is
Outlined by an Expert

The most satisfactory method for
combating cutworms, according to S.
Marcovitch, entomologist for the Ten
nesee experiment station, University
Of Tennessee, is by the use of poi
soned bran mash. This is a mixture
composed Of one pound of paris
green or sodium f1uosilicate, twenty
five pounds Of bran, one quart Of
blackstrap molasses and two gallons
of water. Mix the poison thoroughly
with the bran or middlings in a dry
state. Then prepare some sweetened
water by mixing one quart of mo-
Tasses or two pounds of sugar with
the two gallons of water. Moisten
the poison bran with the sweetened
water, using just enough to wet the
bran without making it sloppy.
The mixture may be applied by
placing it in a pail and scattering
over the surface Of the ground during
the afternoon. The correct distribu-
tion is to have small chunks half as
big as walnut every foot or two.
The cutwOrms are attracted to the
bran and will be killed before they
do much damage. Poultry should be
kept out of the garden for few days..

Pinch Berry Shoots at
About Eighteen Inches

The ends of young shoots of black
raspberries, purple canes and black
berries should be pinched off when the
shoots have reached a height of about
eighteen inches. These shoots gen
orally reach this height early in June.
and this pinching process helps force
out buds along the main stem, so that
they will form lateral branches.
Plants pruned in this way branch
near the ground and are better able
to support themselves. This kind of
pruning is almost always used where
the grower does not have trellises. 1t
may be necessary to 60 through the
patch several times for the best re-
suits, as pinching should not be de-
layed much beyond the time when the
shoots are the right height If it is
done later in the season when the
shoots are longer, the growth from the
lower buds will not be satisfactory.
The general effect Of the pinching is
to keep the bushes more compact and
easier to pick, to prune and to work
around.
1t is not advisable that red raspber-
ries be summer pinched, because 1t
seems to encourage the growth Of
suckers; red varieties also send out
latepals which are weak and spindling
less desirable than the single, Wig
orous well-matured canes.

Green Ducks for Market

There are two sources of income
from ducks-the sale of green ducks
at the age of about ten weeks, and
of eggs, both for Matching and COM
mercial, purposes. Ducklings grow
rapidly and they can be made to
reach practically their full growth at
ten to twelve weeks. This means
very intensive feeding program. Those
who keep a small farm flock will find
it profitable to separate those which
are to be forced for market and keep
them In separate pen.

Arditi. It was to be their last mo-
ment together for some time, for the
next day Morello was to report at
camp-to be enrolled in the national
army.
Early in the morning, Arditi and
his nefghbors heard two shots. They
rushed into the room occupied by
MOrellO and his wife. Mrs. Morello
was dead, bullet in her forehead.
MOrellO was unconscious beside her,
bullet through his ear. In Newark
city hospital the husband recovered.
He was indicted for first degree MUIR
der. At the cOroner's inquest, MoreIlo
in an italian dialect, strange to Joseph
Frederici, official interpreter, was
supposed to have admitted his guilt.
He was tried and found guilty by
a jury which recommended mercy to
Essex county Judge Martin. Judge
Martin sentenced the apparently un-
comprehending Morello to life i'm
prisonment
Studies in Prison.
In prison he eagerly attended the
prison English classes. To the few
friends who visited him from time
to time he protested his innocence
in his new language. His friends
engaged Harold Simandl, an attorney
of Newark to make an investigation.
Frederici the Interpreter, admit
ted that Morello's statements at the
Inquest were susceptible to two inter
pretations, either "she wanted 1t
done" or "she did It," In his prison
language the prisoner insisted that
his wife had committed suicide and
he tried to kill himself. Because of
this false Interpretation" the court
of pardons decided to parole Morello.

ror caused RaffaelO MOrellO of this
city to pass eight years in prison,
and would have resulted in life i'm
prisonment had the error not been
disclosed several weeks ago, after ac-
ton by the New Jersey state court
of pardons.
Largely it was his inability to speak
or understand English that sent
Morello to prison for life for the MUIR
der of his wife-so the court found
In it's decision to parole him. But it
was Morello's own eagerness to learn
the language of his adopted country,
once he found himself behind the bars
that perhaps made the mills of justice
grind a bit more surely.
Nine years ago Morello and An
nette, seventeen, his bride of four
months, were happy in their home in
Newark. The war was on and eventu-
ally Morello, who had taken out first
citizenship papers, received an order
to report to the Newark draft board.
Ignorant of English.
Unable to read English, Annette
sensed the meaning of the notice
and hid it from her husbands eyes.
Annette pleaded with him not to leave
her-better suicide together than that,

vealed.

Clear That Clean Milk
Is Paving Proposition

In recent years dairymen, including
farmers with just few COWS, have
FAST been learning that clean milk is
paying proposition and that this
may be secured only by obtaining
proper sanitary measures, such as pro-
viding their animals with clean bed
ding, regular clipping of fianks and
udder, and the like. More recently, the
Department of Agriculture has dis
covered, as the result of extensive
tests, that another of the dairyman'e
problems, undesirable fiavOrs and
odors in milk produced by feeding
green alfalfa, green corn, or turnips,
may be prevented by giving these feeds
at the proper time.
It has been found that green al
falfa produces much more pronounced
"off" f1avors and odors than does
green corn. Even when 25 pounds
Of green corn are fed one hour be-
fore milking the milk is only slightly
tainted, probably not to a sufficient eX-
tent to be detected by the average
consumer; if fed after milking, moth
ing undesirable is noticed.
Feeding 30 pounds of green alfalfa
one hour before milking, or as little
as IS pounds, produced Objectionable
f1avors and odors. Increasing the time
to three hours reduced the intensity,
but did not eliminate the taints. How
ever, when the time before milking
was increased to five hours the off
eliminated.

Curculio Causes Peach
to Fall From the Tree

The early falling of peaches is very
likely caused by the presence Of the
curculio which attacks the fruit and
causes 1t to fall from the trees. To
help prevent this insect, practice clean
cultivation in the orchard and the sur
roundings to reduce the hiding and hi
bernating places. To help control
them, spray with arsenate of lead, one
and one half pounds, and hydrated
lime, two pounds to fifty gallons OF
water. Apply this spray when the
shucks or calyXes are shedding from
the newly-set fruit. Again, two weeks
after the shucks have shed, apply self
boiled lime-sulphur and one and a half
pounds arsenate of lead to fifty gal
Ions of water.

Clean Poultry Quarters
Necessary for Success

Thorough cleaning of the poultry
house every few days is absolutely
necessary if the flock is to be kept free
from disease. Not only infections but
lice and mites develop under unsan-
itary conditions.
Cleanliness means not only a gen
eral sweeping out, but 1t means cleans
ing with boiling lye water and it
means painting the inside of the build
ing with a good disinfectant paint
which will serve the double purpose
of improving the appearance as well
as making it sanitary.
Unless you are willing to keep the
poultry quarters clean and sanitary
you cannot hope to have very much
success except by accident.

Sour Milk Is Best

Sweet milk Is not advised in the
chicks ration. Chicks do not handle
the milk sugar to the best advantage,
and changes from sweet to sour milk
cause digestive disorders and should
be carefully avoided at all times. AS
it is difficult to keep sweet milk from
souring in the fountains near the
warm brooder stoves, it is best to give
only sour milk. or buttermilk, to
chicks. The Tactic acid in the sour
milk seems to help in retarding bowel
trouble and keeps chicks healthy and
growing.

Fitting a Horse Collar
Is of Much Importance

A horse pulls from the shoulder.
There's no news about that. But do
you know just what part Of the shoul-
der should take the strain Of the load?
The upper part of a horses shoulder
is soft bone and cartilage. The lower
part is the joint. The pull of the col
lar should come between these two
points, otherwise there will be trou-
BILE.
A collar that hangs too low throws
too much strain on the shoulder joint.
If your horse develops sores on the
lower point of the shoulder, they are
no doubt due to the fact that the COL
lar throws the pulling strain too far
down on the shoulders.

Cattle on sweet clover pasture
crave some dry feed. hence it is
good practice to provide some straw
or hay.
Not yearlings, but three-year-old
ewes sheared the heaviest of any age
group among 1,496 RambOuillet sheep
sheared by the federal Department of

Would Re-estahlish
 Building Lines Here

An amendment to the building code providing for the re-establish ment of street lines throughout the city is being prepared by the ordi- nance committee of the common council and will be brought up al q meeting Of the council soon, 1t was learned today.
 According to it's provisions def- nite lines will be established by the city engineer so that much of the confusion that is felt by contrac. tors when they begin the construc- ton of building will he abolished, if Is believed. In some of the older streets of the city building lines have been established but the street lines are almost extinct and many times it IS necessary that the contractor guess at the line, an ac- ton which might later result in a violation Of the zoning law.
 This is the first amendment planned for the code which was passed at council meeting in June.

ARCHBISHOP TALKS
 TO LOCAL CATHOLICS
Representative of Eucharistic Con- gress Explains Godlincss Makes
 Good Citizens

Archbishop George Matulevicius, representative of Lithuania to the recent Eucharistic congress held in Chicago visited the city yesterday as a guest of Rev. Edward V. Grikis, pastor of St. Andrews Lithuanian church. He was taken on a tour of the various properties of the Sacred Heart parish by Father Grikis and Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the Sacred Heart church.
 Last evening Archbishop Matulev- icius addressed a congregation on the sacraments of the Catholic church and the benefits received by those who received them and lived up to the teachings of the church. He said that the man that believed in God made a better citizen than the other man who disbelieved.
 Solemn benediction was held at the close of the sermon with Rev Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of Sacred Heart church, Rev. Matthew J. Traynor, pastor of St. Mary's church Rev. John J. Ambot, of Hartford, Rev. Dr. Bucys, secretary to the archbishop and Rev. Edward V. Grikis, pastor of St. Andrews Lithu. anian church, taking part. At the close of the benedictien, the arch bishop bestowed the papal blessing on the congregation.
 Archbishop Matulevicius left this morning tor Worcester, Mass, where he will spend Saturday and Sunday. He will leave for Rome about September 1st.
