STREET ART

The iron disks which the city has placed down on various streets-at cost of 50 cents a disk-are all right for disks. But the careful observer will have noticed that either the disk factories failed to turn out enough to supply the demand or else the city thought there was something about white lines painted on the pave ments which could be more easily seen.
 Thus we have, on some streets, Hines" of disks and painted lines also. The two kinds of traffic guid- ance work very well side by side. More autoists halt in front of white lines, and more pedestrians seem to see them, than the disks. But the lines need constant repainting, while the disks don't.
 A week or so ago painters were busy refurbishing the go-and stop lights, making them look spick and span. Indeed, no other city property seems to be better taken care of.

Red clover in the United States
grows "whiskers" that stand straight
out from the stems of the plants, while
in England the ancestral form of the
American type is still comparatively
free from hairiness.
In attempting an explanation of the
change from the smooth to the hairy
form, DR.. A. ]. Peters of the United
States Department of Agriculture, says
it is necessary to turn to the wild red
clover" to which all clovers are related
and which shows a tendency toward
hairiness. The possibility of ~produc-
ing hairy plants was therefore "in the
blood" of the relatively smooth type
brought from England more than 200
years ago, he says. Furthermore a

When this English clover was
brought to America it encountered
new conditions, among them little

smooth forms, doing the most injury
to the second. or, seed. crop. Doctor
Peters says. 1t always keeps down
the growth of the smooth plants of Eu-

States so they will not seed well. The

Changes in Feed Must
Be Done Quite Slowly

Chicks should be given the starter
for the first two or three weeks but
as they grow they can handle feed
with more bulk to it, so mix the
starter with a good growing mash,
gradually changing the proportions
until you are feeding the growing
mash straight. .....
You cannot get a feed too good for
young chicks as your egg yield will
depend greatly on how your pullets
are developed. The highest priced
chick feeds on the market will cost
you only about twelve cents chick
up to eight weeks Of age.
Chicks need sunshine. plenty of
range, good ventilation, both day and
night, lots of green food and clean
sanitary quarters.

Alfalfa Pasture Great

In the spring and if kept clipped when
necessary during the summer. II will
provide good forage until late in the
fall. Under average conditions an acre
of alfalfa will pasture from 10 TO 20
shotes. depending on the conditions
previously mentioned. 1t should not be
pastured TOO closely as II does not
stand very heavy foraging. II prob
ably would be best to pasture it In
such way as to permit the cutting
of two small crops Of hay during the
season In addition to the pasture fur
