Jiarquette Cem W * (Prtpcrtd by th« Unit*4 Stataa Department i of Afrteiltm.) * If cockerels or pullets are used In the breeding flock they should be well matured, poultry specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture advise. Hens are better than pullets. They lay larger eggs, which produce stronger chicks. Yearling and twoyear- old hens are better than older onea. Pullets used as breeders should be mated »lth a cock rather than with a cockerel. If a cockerel is used he should be mated with hens rather than with pullets. As a rule, well-matured cockerels wlU glye better fertility than cocks. Free Range for Breeding Pan. When possible free range should be provided for the breeding stock. It la better to provide it during the entire fall and winter before the breeding season, but. If this Is not possible, free range just preceding and during the breeding season will be of great value. Birds of free range will get more exercise and, therefore, will be in better health and will give higher fertility, better hatches^ and stronger chicks. The breeding flock needs careful supervision to make sure that the fowls keep In good breeding condition. The birds and the houses should be examined often to see that the* are net infested with lice or mites. Either of these pests In any numbers will seriously affect or totally destroy fertility. Care must be exercised also to see that the male does not frost his comb or-wattles. If these are frosted his ability to fertilise eggs will be Insshould not be allowed to become excessively fat. All whole or cracked-grain should be fed In litter. This forces the fowls to exercise by scratching for It. As a supply of green feed Is usually lacking iate in the winter or early la the spring, sprouted oata, cabbage, mangels, or cut clover or alfalfa should be fed. KEEP FEEDING PUCES CLEAN Water Basins and Other Utensils Offer liyJMhod of Contamination • Hen Yard. ' •( ' Ofie of the most Important factors In keeping poultry lu good health is to watch the feeding utensils and the yards where the fowls are fed.

On very cdld nights when there Is danger of the combs be- Ijig frosted the males to be used as breeders must be put In a warm place, such as a box or crate of suitable size partly covered by a bag or cloth. The breeding male should be examined occasionally after feeding to see that his crop is full and that he Is not growing thin. Some males will allow the hens to eat all the feed, with the result that they get out of condition. If this happens the male must be fed separately from the hens at least once a day. y Provide the breeding stock with comfortable quarters. The house must be draft proof, yet well ventilated and dry. The birds should not be crowded. If the birds arfe yarded, four square feet of floor space per bird should be allowed, but on free range from three to three and a half square feet per bird will be enough. ( t t^-vv Feeding Brseding 8toeK. r' ' The breeders must be fed n A keep them in such condition that they will produce eggs. Any good laying ration Is suitable for this purpose. Beef scrap should not run above 10 or 15 per cent of the total ration.

Ing, and is safer to feed from. Any feeder Is apt to clog up occasionally, especially in feeding ground feed, knd for that reason they should be looked after olten. The larger the feeder the stronger is the tendency to let it take care of Itself. From the standpoint of construction the advantage is also in favor of the small feeder. With a length of much, over four feet the load on It will be heavy and the strain of moving It will tell much sooner than on the smaller size. Many good types of ready-made self-feeders can be bought today, and If the freight on them has not been too high they should be sold almost as cheaply as they can be made. ^ PREPARE SOIL FOR ALFALFA 8west Clover Paves Way for More - Aristocratic Neighbor ang liv , surss Good Stand.* One big thing about sweet clover la that it paves the way for its more aristocratic and exclusive neighbor, alfalfa.

XK *isl6UE&i£S (Prtpknd 07 the United Stataa Dapartmaat of Agriculture.) Canada bluegrass seed seems to be extremely sensitive to a number of conditions that affect its germination and for that reason the United States Department of Agriculture Is trying to* develop a method for testing it that wlil give uniform results. Up to the present time blue grace seed has been giving seed dealers and state analysts much trouble. The department, in its attempt to de< termine the factors Influencing tkb germination of Canada bluegrass, has found a great variation In the behavior of various samplei. All samples are found to require a dally alternation of temperatures for successful germination. A temperature of 20 degrees C. for 18 hours and 30 degrees C. for six bours is satisfactory. Many aamples five,a distinctly higher germination «hen exposure to light la added to Af above temperature schedule. However. It la important that the temperature schedule be not sacrificed In obtaining the light exposure. Some samples of Canada bluegrass do.toot germinate completely even with the. above conditions satisfied. Work in progress Is expected to determine all the factors necessary to make a dependable germination test of n»n^a bluegrass possible.

The value of airplane forest patrol was forcibly demonstrated recently near Roseburg, Ore. One of the state foresters in that city had received reports from the lookouts in his territory that there were no tires to b^seen. It happened that Just at that particular time he decided to accompany one of the army air service pilots engajred in patrolling the Oregon forests. He had not proceeded very far on his aerial Journey before he realized that the re- |H>rts he had received from his lookouts were not as reliable as he was led to believe. To his great consternation he discovered that he had no less than 1,2 real fires on his hands which no one knew anything about. Needless to Aay, the state forester Is now converted to aerial fdreatry patrol for life.
