Straw Valuable Manure
When Partially ROtted

Surplus straw which cannot be uti-
lized as ;roughage can be used adva1-
tageouslv as bedding in stables to alb
sorb the liquid manure, according to
F. B. Smith, associate professor of
agronomy. Colorado Agricultural col
lege. "Tle moisture will aid in the
decompos ton of the straw, convert
ing it into a valuable farm by-prod-
uct. Practically all of the phosphor-
Gus taken from the soil by the small
grains Is contained in the straw, but
direct app ication Of straw to the land
is usually detrimental to succeeding
crops. THIS harmful effect is brought
about by various agencies, chief of
which is the drying out of the soil
and consequent firing of crops. Ex-
periments at the Iowa agricultural eX-
pertinent station have shown that
partially decomposed straw mixed
with some heterogeneous substance does
not retard plant growth. The liquid
portion OF manure serves as a cheap
source of nitrogen and the resultant
decompositioa converts the straw into
manure less likely to dry out the
SOIL"

Surplus Skim Milk
and Whey Valuable
Of Much Importance in Con-
troll of Chicken Ills.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Concentrated SOur-Skim-milk poultry
feed now being made in many milk
plants where there is a surplus of
skim milk can be improved as a feed
for poultry by the addition of whey,
thus increasing the milk-sugar con-
tent, says the bureau of dairy indus
try, United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Experiments in feeding have clearly
established the fact that milk sugar
has definite function in controlling
digestive disturbances due to infec-
lions Of the lower intestines. Several
investigators have proved the bene-
fetal effects Of milk sugar in combat
ing white bacillary diarrhea and COO
cidiosis in chickens. Experiments al
so indicate that feeding chicks dry
mash containing 20 parts Of milk
sugar, or of skim-niilk powder which
is so per cent milk sugar, materially
reduced the losses among chickens
heavily infected with coccidiosis.
The concentrated sour-skim-milk
product now being made contains
about per cent milk sugar when
made of skim milk only. Whey con-
tains about per cent milk sugar. The
bureau of dairy industry has described
method of utilizing whey in con-
junction with skim milk when both
are available to make product that
contains more than 10 per cent milk
sugar. In this way the feed value Of
whey may be utilized and the value of
the product as poultry feed consid-
erably increased.

Popular Chicken Breeds
Described in Bulletin

With the object of furnishing poul-
try raisers with condensed informa-
ton on popular breeds of chickens,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has just issued farmers bull
letin on standard breeds and varieties.
For those raising poultry on a COM
mercial basis, it is pointed out that
the American market shows prefer
ence for poultry with yellow skin and
certain other characteristics. For per-
sons raising chickens on a smaller
scale, on the other hand, brief de-
scription of each breed, with standard
weights, proportions, etc., is given to
aid the poultryman in selecting the
breed best suited to his needs. The
author also gives suggestions for mat
ing different varieties and discusses
important points in quality and type
of well-bred poultry.
The standard breeds and varieties
belonging to the American, Asiatic,
English and Mediterranean classes are
described and illustrated.
The new publication, Farmers Bull
letin 1506-F, STANDARD Breeds and Va
rieties of Chickens, l. American, Ash
attic, English and Mediterranean
Classes" is q combined revision of
three former farmers bulletins, and is
available for free distribution as long
as the supply lasts. Requests for the
bulletin should be addressed to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c.

Begin Cultivation of
Sow Beans Very Early

Cultivation of soy beans should be-
gin before, the beans are planted and
should be continued very soon after
wards, according to K. G. Hartman Of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
But, even at that they are not hard to
cultivate. Cultivation of soy beans
depends a great deal on the seed bed
preparation. If this has been well
done, soy beans are one of the easiest
if not the easiest crop of it's kind to
cultivate. Where good seed bed has
been prepared that is free of weeds,
the beans are planted IN to 2 inches
deep and they come up quickly. In a
very few days they have four to six
permanent leaves. Cultivation should
begin at once.
This first cultivation after the beans
are up is given by the most successful
growers with harrow. The teeth are
set at half slant and the harrow is
driven diagonally across the field.
This is repeated on the other diagonal
in from five to eight days. Many peo-
pie at first think this would ruin the
beans and often the new grower quits
only to find later the narrowed por-
ton far ahead of the rest of the field.
Succeeding civilizations are best
given with six or eight-shovel cult
.vators. Do not ridge. Cultivate shall
low, just enough to break any crust
Usually two civilizations are sufficient,
though in some cases a third is re-
quireG.

Quack Grass Is Serious
Menace on Average Farm

Quack grass is most troublesome
weed and a great pest in cultivated
fields. With its thick mat of root
stocks and drought-defying qualities.
it is serious menace on any farm
still it has some interesting qualities
Analysis shows it to be a very nu-
tritious grass and live stock are fond
of it. The writer has seen sheep
standing in clover back-high, reaching
through the fence and feeding on
quack grass, nibbling it to the ground
1t does not winterkill or summerkill
It is more than success everywhere
Quick growing and aggressive all the
time. Its nutritive ratio shows it to
be balanced ration, superior to tim
othy or red top and equal to the blue
grass. 1t gets onto the job early il
the season and is there late in the
fall. A valuable grass with very bad
habits.

Birds Good in
Checking Pests
Of Great Economic Impor-
lance Because of Appe-
tite for Insects.


Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrieulture.)
Without birds the country would be
overrun with insect pests, in the opin-
lon of many ornithologists and en-
tomologists. Credit for eating obnox-
lous insects should also be given to a
number of other vertebrates, especial
~ to toads, lizards, shrews, moles,
bats, and skunks, but because of the
numbers Of BIRDS, and their appetite
for insects in all stages, their powers
Of swift locomotion, and. their tend
ency to concentrate wherever unusual
numbers of insects appear, they are
of chief economic Importance among
lnsectivorous vertebrates.
GulIs Destroy Crickets.
A historical and most picturesque
example of birds saving a crop from
Insect destruction was given by Cali
fornia gulls In pioneer days in Utah,
when they swooped down on the Nor
mon crickets that were devouring the
wheat of the early settlers. Since,
almost sacred in Utah, and a monu-
ment has been erected to commeni0-
rate their services. In an investiga-
ton by the biological survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture Of 100 cases of satisfactory
control and SS cases of local suppress
sion of insects by birds, many inter-
esting food habits were brought to
light. Contrary to popular belief, va
rious birds eat even the hairy types
Of caterpillars, like those of the tus-
sock, gypsy, and brown-tail moths, and
the tent caterpillars.
Sparrows are noted for feeding on
ants, cabbage bugs. cicadas. green
bugs, alfalfa weevils, army worms and
caterpillars. Meadow lapsss eat grass
hoppers and crickets. White-breasted
nuthatches have been observed to re-
duce greatly the numbers Of pear
psylla and the cooling moth. Gold
finches like plant lice of several spe-
cies. Woodpeckers are among the
most effective enemies of bark beetles
and wood borers Of various kinds, as
well as the European corn borer, and
they also eat leopard and cooling
moths and many other woodland
pests. Crows, blackbirds and grackles
are fond Of white grubs in quantities
and will follow pillow to get them in
the spring.
Feed on Alfalfa Weevil.
Forty-fve species of birds were
found to feed extensively on the alfal-
ia weevil, while &c attack the cotton
boil weevil Orioles will pick weevils
out of the squares or flower buds of
the cotton, while swallows feed on
them when in flight and extending
their range. .
Mallard ducks have been effectively
used in ponds for mosquito control.
Red-eyed vireos seem to be attracted
by fall web7worms,- while cutworms
form a large part of the diet of star
lings, crows and jackdaws. Blackbirds
help to keep down the numbers of the
boil worm and many other pests. Spar
rows and other birds have been OBJ
served to clean up infestations of ter
mites. % f
According to the biological survey,
birds may be looked upon as an ever
present force that automatically tends
to check outbreaks of insect pests,
force that should be kept at maximum
efficiency by protective measures so
that their services may be utilized
whenever possible.

MEASLES

Measles is the most contagious
of the communicable diseases COM
mon to childhood. One child with
the disease is enough to start an
epidemic the same as one small
match is enough to start a con-
flagration.
The reason we have so many
cases develop and epidemics start
ed is due to the fact of parents
failing to report mild cases.
AS an example a cousin visited
family while suffering from
measles. In seven days two child
rem of the family visited, came
down with the measles. One of the
patients attended Sunday School
in the early stages of the disease
and fifteen cases of measles devel-
oped due to this exposure, and
