* MORE TRIPLETS | "Dear editor: "I just read about the triplet | ealves in the Daily Democrat. | My father, George W. Miller, j now deceased, lived in Kirkland | township and owned a Holstein | cow that had triplet calves. Two I were steers and were Identical j ; in looks. The other one was a | heifer and was a little larger j : but only lived a few days. That | i | was in the summer 1910.

Clover Root Borer I The clover root borer is a tiny , grub-like worm, which eats into and riddles the older clover roots, ■ often causing plants to break off near the crown and cutting down . the hay as well as the seed crop. Davis describes the adults as a I small beetle, belonging to the fain- | ily of destructive bark beetles, being only about one-eighth of an inch long and dark brown in color. The larvae or borers are unable to live in first year roots. Infestations develop in the second year of root growth, often seriously damaging plants towards the latter half of the second season. : Clover in the third season of , growth is almost always heavily I infested and in most instances the I plants will begin dying or fail to make growth by midsummer. Sweet ' clover is not known to be attack- [ cd and damage to alfalfa and al- | hike clover is usually insignificant Early plowing may also destroy grasshopper eggs. i NOTICE TO BREEDERS I have purchased the 4 year old Percheron Stallion, Sparky, No. 215330 and will make the season at my home. 2 miles south and 3 miles west of Convoy, Ohio.

’ MILK IS NEEDED ! PODLTRY RATION I Milk Reduces Mortality Rates, Increases Production j The high price of milk products | for anima) feeding is causing many j poultry keepers to question the ► worth and necessity of milk in poultry rations. Those who have 1 eliminated milk entirely on ac- '■ count of high prices may find that r their chicks are not doing well and that their eggs may hatch poorly. Experimental work has shown y that rations composed of cereal o grains, cereal by-products, and the I, common protein supplements, such !f as meat scraps, soybean oil meal, n and fish meal, are frequently sup- >. plied by milk, milk by-products,, a green grass, and high quality ali- salsa meals. These experiments - have also shown that the protec--1 tive factors carried by milk prod-l-'ucts and green feed are especially i- essential for good growth and low mortality in chicks and for the prod duction of eggs that will hatch i- well. It is evident that milk or a e milk product in some fore and a i.' high-quality legume meal should f be included in the ration to secure y optimum results with chicks or. e! hens. The use of milk products j i and a legume meal is particularly t ■ necessary when the birds are con- ! - fined and do not have access to - fresh, succulent grass. t A good chick starter should cons tain not less than the equivalent of 5 per cent of dried skimmilk,, • dried buttermilk, or dried whey and 5 per cent of a high-quality alfalfa meal, according to R. M., I Bethke of the Animal Industry De- . jiartment at the Ohio Agricultural t Experiment Station. The same rec- ■ ommendations apply to laying > mashes fed with scratch grain for • the production of good hatching eggs. If liquid skimmilk or buttermilk is available, these can be fed and the dried milk and milk pro-, ! ducts omitted from the mash mixi ture. o — LAMBING TIME ~* • «i I See that new born lambs nurse. I As soon as a lamb nurses, his | chances of living are greatly in-’ creased- Clip any stay locks of! wool about the ewe’s udder in order that the lamb may find the teats readily. Pen a ewe and her lambs to themselves for the first few days in order to get the lambs properly started. Watch twins closely to see that one is not disowned. If a ewe loses her lamb, give her one of a pair of twins. It may be necessary to tie the ewe tn a small pen and. force her to let the lamb nurse. | Lambs born in cold weather may become chilled. One of the best i ways to handle a chilled lamb is ! to place all but its head in water, !as warm as the elbow can bear. I As the water cools, add more warm water. When the lamb becomesl somewhat lively, take it out of the bath and rub bruskly with a cloth , until it is thoroughly dry. Feed it warm milk from its mother or fresh | whqle cow's milk. Finally wrap it! lin a thick blanket or cloth and■ - • 1

Guernsey Cow Has Triplet Calves * ■ G * . , ■ .... a-'-. " Donna, four year old daughter of Harvey Putcher. is as interested as anyone in her father's Guernsey cow, which last week gave birth to triplet calves. Donna is shown here inspecting the freak of nature.

place It in a warm place to sleep. Feed the ewes liberally on grain and legume hay as soon as the lambs are about oue week old. This will cause the ewes to milk liberally. Small lambs nursing ewes that milk well will gain twice as fast as they will after they are weaned. There is no substitute for their mother's milk. Feed lambs in a creep before the 1 pasture season arrives. Lambs will begin to eat whole shelled grains : and good bright legume hay when about 10 days old. At this time they will make very rapid gains for the amount of grain fed. Each mornI ing and evening the feed troughs I should be thoroughly cleaned and fresh grain placed in the trough. I>ambs should be docked and 1 castarated when they are from 10 'days to 1 month old. Both operaitions can be done at the same time. | Clean out the lamb pens and bed 1 them liberally with good, bright ! straw. Select a warm, bright day ' for these operations. Plan to make maximum use of pasture. Winter wheat and ryel are the earliest pastures in most localities. This may be followed by blue grass or oats. After the first 1 of June, blue grass should be supplemented- by a legume pasture such as clover, alfalfa, or sweet clover. - ' o HORSE SENSE ; Ferns often become infested with ' conspicuously tiny white or pearshaped brown scales. Spray with a white oil spray, using three oun-, ces in a gallon of water, or a two; , per cent lubricating oil emulsion. Use a fine, forceful spray for best results. Lice on brood sows are just “itch-j ing” to get. on nice tender pigs. Crude oil, or used crank case oil, applied to the backs of the sows will kill the lice — and will save , the pigs. | As much as 125 times more top soil is lost from cultivated slopes as from slopes thickly covered with alfalfa. Planting alfalfa on I the slopes of soils suited to the I crop will greatly reduce the loss) of surface soil. Reseeding of old lawns should I be done early so the new plants ■ ‘ can become established before hot, , weather. Specialists in the Purdue farm I management department point out [ that rotating crops is necessary to give soils the best treatment, to best distribute labor, and to pro-1

( Martin arrived at a conference between Chrysler executives and union leaders — the regular daily I meeting at which the U. A. W. det mand for sole collective bargainr ing rights is discussed — shortly after the writ was signed. Informj ed that a writ was out for his arI rest, the union president said: "I have no statement to make , now.” No specific time was set in the ’ writ for the arrest of the strikers. , but later Judge Campbell issued an order to Sheriff Wilcox ordering him to act "forthwith." Fire that broke out in the main tunnel of the strike-held Dodge main plant in Hamtramck last night was brought under control after two hours. 1 The blaze was confined to the tunnel carrying gas mains and 1 electrical wiring. Damage was believed negligible and there was no ' disorder when tiremen entered tb» plant. 4 FEDERAL FARM LOANS Now At 4% T>»e Adams County National Farm Loan Association, of Decatur, Indiana has received a Charter and has been duly authorized and empowered to make farm loams in all of Adams County, If you are expecting to re-finance your farm loan, call or write this , association at once.

DEMONSTRATION WILL BE HELD Purdue Man To Conduct Sheep Meetings Here Weather permitting a docking and castarating demonstration for lambs will be held at the Jonathan Rumple farm in Jefferson township at 12:30 p. m., Monday, March 22, according to an announcement made today by County Agent L. E. Archbold. A second meeting the same afternoon on the Kermit Bowen farm in St. Mary's township at 2 o'clock. 1 A meeting is also planned for ' 7:15 o'clock at the Pleasant Mills high school for the same date. In this meeting it will be explained how boys may enter the 4-H lamb r club and be eligible to show lambs ■ at the Fort Wayne lamb market ■ show in July and thus be eligible 1 to substantial prize moneys. It is ’ Important that both fathers and sons attend this meeting if interes1 ted.

A feeder suitable for young pigs keeps feed cleaner, helps to prevent robbing, and gives pigs of different ages an equal chance and gains are faster and m ore economical than by trough feeding. Self-feed the pig starter until the pigs reach 60 or more pounds. A fountain o fclean drinking water should be kept within a few feet of the self-feeder. Always keep troughs of self-feeder and water fountains as clean as possible. Call at the office of L. E. ArchIbold, county agricultural agent, and ask for Purdue Extension Bulletin No. 199.

CORN TAGS MAY DE MISLEADING Second Generation Hybrid Corn Is Worthless Lafayette, Ind., Msir. 19 — "If you desire hybrid corn, buy hybrid seed and do not be misled by such statements as ‘First Generation Removed from Hybrid',” ie the tip being given by Purdue University specialists. In the seed bargain catalogues of two seed companies recently 1 circulated among Indiana fanners, according to Dr. H. H. Kraybill, 1 State Seed Commissioner at Purdue, seed corn was advertised as “First Generation Removed from Hybrid.” This statement and a similar one, "Second Generation Hybrid,” may be misleading, Kraybill declares, because neither of them represents true hybrids. The catalogue price of the second generation corn is $6 to $6.50 per bushel, while this same corn can be , purchased at market feed price i from most farmers who planted hy- | brid corn in 1936. All advantages jof inbred corn are lost after the ! first generation, Purdue seed corn ! specialists point out. Kraybill calls attention to the ' following Indiana ruling, effective ‘ Jan. 1, 1937, concerning the labelling of hybrid seed corn: "Field corn, sweet corn, and pop ! corn offered or exposed for sale i for seeding purposes in the state of Indiana may be labeled or rep- ■ resented to be hybrid corn only I when such seed represents the first i generation of a cross between I strains of different parentage and ■ involving inbred lines of corn and or their combinations.”
