Poultry Still Is Backbone of
Industry on Specialized
Farms.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture-)
In spite of the growing Importance
OF the specialized poultry farm and
the commercial farm flock the general
the poultry and egg industry from the
standpoint of volume of production,
according to Roy C. Potts, chief poul-
try marketing specialist, United States
Department of Agriculture.
Small Farm FIoeks.
The farm flock is rather small IN
size and is only a small part Of the
activity on the general farm, often
not being considered very important
part. But in the aggregate, more than
so per cent of the total production OF
poultry and eggs comes from just such
fiocks. Because of its minor impor-
lance the general farm flock is likely
to be subjected to some neglect at
times, to be less cared for at all
times, and to consist of stock that has
not been highly improved.
Specialized poultry farming, hew-
ever, has been on the increase during
the last six or seven years and con-
tinues TO become more and more i'm
portant. Specialization is mainly
along the lines of egg production. On
specialized farms poultry is the sole
or main business and the owner is de-
pendent upon it almost exclusively for
his living. Generally the most up-to-
date methods are employed and the
most improved stock used.
Commercial Flocks.
The commercial farm flock, on the
other hand, is not an exclusive enter
prise on the farm but is one that is
given more than usual attention in
management and breeding. The poul-
try and egg crop of the country is
produced by these three primarily diff
ferent types of fiocks or farms, the
most important Of which is still the
general farm flock.

Substantial Floor for
Machine Shed Essential

Any implement house is better
than none-even the simplest, most
inexpensive type pays for itself in a
season or two. But from the stand
point Of convenience 1t pays to build
machine sheds, and a floor of some
kind is a good feature.
If of wood, the floor should be Of
two-inch planks, laid on joists or
beams, which in turn should be kept
off the ground by fiat stones or con-
crete blocks. Such floors last quite
long, especially If there be ventila-
ton beneath them to keep the wood
dry.
Concrete makes the ideal floor for a
machine shed. of course. 1t can be
laid right on the ground, if it is well
drained.

Farm Flock Is the
Most Important

variety of clover that tolerates acid.
soil.
The most important reason for adj
vocating alsike clover is that it will
grow on sour or wet soils to which
other crops are poorly adapted. The
most important benefits derived from
growing it on these soils are: Cd It
does not feed the land down to such
an extent that it lowers the production
of the following crop, and (2) 1t makes
one of the best green manures Of the
legumes.
Greater yields of crops are grown
following alsike clover than other
crops. An extended experiment at the
Rhode Island experiment station COM
pairing cabbages, mangels, rutabagas,
buckwheat, potatoes, rye, corn, millet,
oats, onions, red clover, squash, timo-
thy, alsike, and red top showed that
alsike was almost unsurpassed in this
respect. Alsike clover produces almost
as well as red clover and better than
crimson or white.

Supreme as Soiling Crop

Among the various soiling crops,
alfalfa stands supreme. If managed
rightly, it VIII provide large yields of
rich succulent feed throughout the
entire summer. The first cutting is
usually ready by late May or early
June and. as a rule, at least three
more cuttings can be secured at in
tervals Of four to six weeks. Lyons
and Haker Of the Nebraska station
found that they got double the yield
from alfalfa as a soiling crop over
that secured when it was pastured.

Blanching Celery While
Growing Is Best Method

II celery is not blanched while
growing the green stalks can never
be fully blanched. The common meth
cd of blanching- and perhaps the
best way is to hill up the growing
celery as it grows, with earth. 1t
will blanch slightly when stored in
a cellar or if grown in pots and
placed in the cellar, but when stored
for winter most of the white stalks
are new growth made by moving ma
terials from the older stalks and
leaves to form the newer stalks and
leaves.

Holds SornnoIenf Record

The record for continuous sleep is
believed TO be held by land snail
owned by Walter F. Webb of Roches-
ter, n. Z. This little molIusk, says
Science Service, has remained dor
mant for 80 years, with the exception
OF one summer when Mr.. Webb gave
1t the right conditions for becoming
active. This interlude occurred 20
years ago, so that the snail has now
equaled the tabled record of Rip. Van
Wrinkle, and its owner says it appears
to be able to continue dormancy for
an indefinite period.

Get Chance at Title

Dave Shade. the uncrowned king of
the middleweights, is being seriously
considered as one of the three fight
ers in a three-cornered affair to be
staged in Madison Square Garden this
winter. Mickey Walker, middleweight
champion. and Tiger Flowers are the
other two. Flowers has been after an
other match with Walker ever since
he dropped the title. According to
present plans, Shade and Flower
would meet first and the winner
would be sent against Walker.

Cooks Knee Mends and
He Predicts Good Year

Paul Cook, Muskegon athletic star,
and member of the University Of
Michigan varsity squad last year, says
that his injured knee is entirely well
again. Cook expects TO win a regular
berth at Michigan.
Tie leg injured kept Cook out Of
the game most Of last year. He en-
tered the Illinois game for few min
utes. He once attended Illinois, so
Coach Yost allowed him to enter the
game against his old college.
Cook went through his high school
athletic career without an injury. The
knee was injured while he was sliding
into a base in class baseball game a
year ago.

Jack Sharkey's Manager
Has Had a Long Career

Johnny Buckley, manager of Jack
Sharkey, has been associated intimate
ly with the boxing game nearly all his
life, which has been about 80 years.
His closest connection was through
Johnny Lynch, former bantam star,
who is a brother-in-law. Old-timers
will also remember some Of the other
names of Buckley's first associates,
such as Matty Baldwin, Dave Deschler
and Jimmy Walsh. At present Buck
ley has about 90 boxers in his stable.
Sharkey is Buckley's heavyweight
and the Boston manager is confident
that he has in nim heavyweight
champion. And what Buckley stresses
most is that Buckley will be Sharkey's
manager when Sharkey is champion.
