Freak Deer Has Horn
Much Like the "Rhin0"

During the last winter Yosemite
valley, In the national park of that
name, had an exclusive little side
show, In addition to the usual wild an
imal circus. The main exhibit of the
side show was a 'rhino deer" a deer
that by some curious, freakish prank
of nature, had a horn similar to that

tween his nose and eyes. Otherwise
he was like any other deer. and tame

dainty tidbits to give variety to his
diet. Like a pet dog he enjoyed hav-
Ing his neck stroked. until an attempt
was made to touch the curious horn
growth. Even the best Of his friends
were not permitted to do this. Then
the park deer began to. shed their
antlers, and speculation was rife In
the valley as to whether the malforma-
ton on the upper jaw of Old Horny
would disappear when he shed his
horns. Soon he disappeared into the
forests, to return without antlers and
without rhino spike. Now his antlers
are starting to grow again, and there
seems to be evidence that the spike is
coming back.

Pullets and Cockerels
Should Be Separated

Growing stock of both sexes will do
better If the males are removed and
kept by themselves as soon as they
can be distinguished. On many farms
1t is the practice to allow pullets and
cockerels to III together until the
cockerels are large enough to be mar
keted as broilers. Better results will
be obtained, however. If these males
are removed from the pullets sooner,
in fact, as 500 as they can be identi-
fed. In f1ocks of leghorn chicks some
Of the males can be identified at three
weeks of age, but 1t is better to wait
until they are four or five weeks old
so all of the males may be detected, as
some are slower to develop.
Cockerels removed at this age
should not be removed from heat, but
should be taken to another brooder
house or compartment. By removing
these males, the pullets will be given
more room in which to develop and
they will have a better chance, as the
males will not bother them. The
males, too, will have more room,
which should help them to develop
quicker to broiler g

Standard Grades Needed
in Selling Live Stock

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Standard market classes and grades
have become a prime necessity In
connection with successful market
ing of live stock, says the bureau
of agricultural economics, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Live meat animals show such wide
variations in all essential respects
that 1t Is impossible to determine &C
curately the value of a given lot un-
less the animals making up the group
are sorted In such a way as to pre-
sent a high degree Of uniformity. Be
fore such sorting can be satisfactorily
accomplished 1t is necessary to set up
definite fixed standards for the vari-
U groups.
The department has been studying
this problem Of grade standards for
mauy years, and has worked out
standards which II Is believed will
serve the purposes OF the live stock
industry. The standards have been
used In the conduct Of the depart
ment's live stock market news service

Nearly All of Pests Found In
Gardens Are CheWers.

The kind of spray material to use
for controlling insects in the vege-
table garden depends upon whether
the insects obtain their food by chew
ing or by sucking, says the New Jer-
sey State College of Agriculture at
New Brunswick.
Nearly all Of the insects attacking
vegetables, however, are chewers.
The chief exception is the plant
louise, which procures its nourishment
by drilling into the plant with Its
beak. 1t takes constant vigilance and
daily examinations of the plants to
keep insects from destroying the veg
etable garden.
Beetles, grasshoppers and the Inn
mature stages of certain insects In
discriminatory called worms" feed
on the stems, leaves, and fruit OF
vegetables and kill or greatly weaken
the plants. These chewing pests must
be combated with a stomach poison
sprayed on the part of the plant where
the insect is most likely TO feed. Use
arsenate of lead If you want a poison
that is not likely to burn the foliage.
The following formula is easy to mix
and effective In its results: Arse
nate of lead, one tablespoonful Of paste
or half tablespoonful of powder; wa
ter, one gallon. Mix the %arsenate OF
lead thoroughly with a small guam
tity of water, then add the rest OF
the gallon. The solution should be
stirred occasionally during the spray
ing.

Winter Vetch and Rye
Make Early Hog Pasture

Rye sown during August or early
In September will make a very salts
factory early crop. Winter vetch can
be sown with the rye and make still
a better combination, says a writer in
the Indiana Farmers Guide. If vetch
has never been grown on the farm
from rs to 80 pounds Of vetch seed
and s to 8 pecks of rye would be a
suitable amount to sow.
In the spring as soon as the ground
Is suitable to work, Canada field peas
and oats can be sown to come on when
the rye has passed its stage of use
fitness as pasturage. If rape seed
is sown with the peas and oats 1t will
provide grazing for a longer period
as the rape will come on after the pats
and peas have matured.

should be made small or long and
narrow. Threshing may be done with
ordinary thresher properly adjusted
to avoid breaking the seed. This may
be accomplished by using special pull

der without changing the speed of
the fan and separator.
The beans must be stored with con-
siderable are If they are not dry, as
they are apt to heat and mold. After
being thoroughly dried there is no
danger. The best plan Is to spread
them out on the floor and shovel them
over from time to time until dry. They
may then be put in sacks and bins.

Incoic Music Repiued

A variation of an old traditional
theme of the Incas was recently in
troduced at a concert at Lima, Peru,
and won enthusiastic applause. The
composition Aguilar, a local mu.
stefan, brought out all the glory OF
the Incas, the royal race claiming de
scent from the sun that ruled in Peru
before Pizarro's conquest in 1881. The
theme was based on an old song that
once was sung In the quichua Ian
guage, that is slowly dying out In
that country.

over with window glass and the third
covered with a glass substitute. All
the chicks were fed alike. A third Of
those under the window glass began
to fail the fifth week, and In three

New York Community First
to Launch Program for
Using Idle Lands.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF AGRICULTURAL
Chautauqua county, New York, Is
the first county In the country to en-
bark upon a forestry program for
farm woods and idle lands with a spe-
cial forest officer In charge, 1t is an
nounced by the forest service, United
States Department of Agriculture.
James e. Davis, assistant county
agricultural agent, a graduate Of the
department Of forestry at Cornell uni
versity, has been selected by the 10
cal board Of supervisors to serve as
county forester and to promote eff
fective forestry throughout Chautau-
qua county. This will include the ui-
innate reforestation of approximately
10000 acres of idle land and the eff
fective management of about 10000
acres Of woodland In farms.
Many Trees Planted.
Since 1909 individuals and groups In
this country have planted 684,000 trees
furnished from the nurseries of the
New York state conservation commits
sion. Last year 256,000 trees were
planted and the county board Of SUI
pervisors started a county forest.
There are two major reasons why
this county should recognize the need
of forest development" says the for

In the county and Immediately adjoin-
ing it are unusual markets for forest
products. At jamestown is a large
furniture industry which pays good
prices for high-grade hardwoods,
while a short distance away at Erie,
Pa, are huge pulp mills. The vine
yards In the northern end of the coun-
ty require 100000 grape posts every
year. This Is in addition to the wood
needed for grape packages. During
1924, more than 10000 standard cords
of fuel were cut In the county and in
dications are that the demand can be
considerably increased.
In Forest or Idle.
"The other reason Is that nearly
one-half of the farm ares is either In
forest or In idle land which is poten-
tally capable of growing forests.
Farmers recognize timber as a definite
source of income"
In order to finance the county for
ester, about 60 organizations are CO.
operating. These include the New
York State College of Agriculture, the
Erie railroad, the New York Central
railroad, the county board Of super
visors, the jamestown Furniture Man

Self-Feeder Favored
for All-Mash Feeding

Many readers are using the all
mash system of feeding their chicks
this year. This method offers distinct
advantages, particularly to those
crowded by other work. All-mash
feeding might better be called the
self-feeder method. The biggest viz
tue of the all-mash method is that it
is adaptable to the use Of ~self-feeders,
thus reducing the time and trips re-
auired to look after the chicks. Those
who are using the allmash plan of
raising their chicks certainly are over
looking the largest advantage unless
they use s~elf-feeders.

TO CONTROL GARDEN INSECT
PESTS SEE HOW THEY GET FOOD

SO when searching for them, look on
the under sides of the leaves. A con-
tact spray which entirely cover them
is necessary for effective control.
Either nicotine sulphate, alone or in a
soap solution, or pyrethrum is the best
material for this purpose. A strong
soap solution alone such as that e
naming from a washing may also be
used successfully.

YALE FANS WILL ENTER CITY BY A NEW STREET
Hartford District Motor ists to Avoid Delay
 by Change

New Haven, Nov. II LPl-A new thorouEhfare for automohilists who attend the Yale Princeton game and who come into the city in the gen. eral direction of Hartford will be ready for use to relieve traffic con- ststion before and after the game.
 Broadly speaking the new way will have only ordinary use, or even less. at all other times, but even- tually 1t may be linked up with q thorouGhfare which will permit au- tomohilists to go through the city without entering the business sec tons. The new way has come about by raging houses in Grove street west or Rock and Snake society tomb and opposite Grove street ccm- etcry, and pushing the street across York street next 10 tn" main power house of Yale university and to the front of the commercial hiEh school in York square. thence through Co Broadway at its junction with Dix well avenue. This development makes q broad street on tn" 6, emcnt of a circle through which may be diverted automobiles which hereto fore have had 70 pass through the consestcd junction Of four streets at Hardness Memorial in Elm street.
 Automohiists coming over the highway from Hartford via Mcrl- den and WallingCord, or via Mill dalr and Cheshire will probably find themselves routed through Grove street, passing the hi-Ccntcnnial buildings at Yale and thence over the new pavement to Whalley ave uue and thence to the Bowl, re turning inc same way.
 Unless he seeks to do so the au- tomobilist will scarcely See down town New Haven. On the return home the new route ought to save many much time and trouble 10 reach the state highways.
