When the raider undertakes to clittf'M' a variety, lie finds two other decisions inextricably related. For what purpose is the crop destined, tor general marketing, or specialiizintf in brood, with show birds on the side? The great majority bebnss to class of market suppliers. Second, what fauces the number in the breeding flock? (lenerous acreage and sood pasturage predispose to growing turkeys in numbers for market and good forngcrs are desirable. A few people have Mjcceded in yarding turkeys, but it Is not advisable for the general raiser. P.esides tire risk of mortality, the entire feeding devolves upon the breeder's po ketbook. In : ase of small fields fanc y or purebred birds for breeding purposes are a. 'ood risk a sort of intensive raising. Specialization under such cirrumstanccs may include several standard varieties. It is folly to i rowtl numbers of turkeys in a small pasture, unless one permits them to be free lances. All of the varieties and even mongrel flocks raised under good conditions, r4ualify for the market, for ordinary requirements are not so ligid. A clean, shapely, fat turkey, carefully dressed, easily classes as fancy. Hut certain varieties do this more readily than others. The raiser must determine wha qualities he prefer predominant. I., the truest lor equalities. We have the liberty of se.eclion from seven varieties: White h dland, late, buff, narragansett, bronze. blacK and bourbon red. T.uff and bourbon red are so su-IIp: except as to size as to be confounded with each other. The bronze and narragansett varieties, both of New England, arc much alike. What, then docs the turkey raiser -eek? Is it size or early maturity? Domesticity or hardiness? Vigor or good-dressing qualities? Some combine i-eeral of these qualities and achieve popularity, others are hammered by Rome undesirable characteristic. But each breed has its enthusiastic sponsors". It sometimes happens that a raiser, discouraged or dissatisfied, decides to change the variety to which he has hitherto pinned his faith. Such a one after vears of bronze, chose the buff. Said lie a year later to a friend contemplating a similar change: "Don't do it. I grew tired racing after my bronze turkes day after day, and 0t the buff last year. Well, the hens and young ones simply camped on the door step waiting for me to feed them. Of course, at Christmas, they were midgets." Duff was to him xv distinct qualification, since lie derired size more. It is their size combined with vior that makes the bronze, sometimes called the giant bronze, a favorite in every locality. and accounted the best all-round breed for general raisins. The young urow vigorously and display an admirable inclination to asit their boarding mistress by foraging. The adult's frame is long, deep-breasted, powerful, well constructed for carrying the weight of t'eh to which the gobbler owes his ability to tip the loam from 2 0 to U pounds. His dark plumage., overlaid with iridescence, proud carriage. a nd noble size, establish it as the grand mogul of turkeydom.

Virtues of the Hardy lll.uk. The black turkey in contour reft mbles the bronze, but is smaller, le.m cut. w ith less depth of breast. It is distinctly stand-otüsh in disposition, ir.dincd to wander and rather timorous. It is considered very hardy and is raised exclusively in t-oino ri-orous climates and on i:mches.

Prejudice ,'galnst the t ohr has discarded this variety m many sections noted for

their fancy-dressed t-tock a real injustice when its hardy qualities are considered. In direct contrast to this is the white holland of similar lines and Mze. but with snow-white plumage and salmon-colored shanks. Its chief

commendation is its beauty as a i dresser. It lacks popularity because j many consider it lacking in stamina. In common with all white fowls, it offer, special inducement to predatory birds and animals, since its color is no protection. The albino of every kind is considered inherently wea k. The buff turkey probably displays a sharper difference in body than, any other variety. The type is horter, more compact, the body rounder, the neck and legs shorr. The creamy flesh and pale pin feathers lend an air to even the poorer specimens. The uniform in brownish red with white tail and wing quills. The bourbon red is larger with much the same coloring. It is often called "red" or "snuff-colored". It is placidly home-loving and reasonably vigorous. No variety is more suitable for one desiring turkeys disinclined to wander. DMIng'uUhing Traits of the Slate. Personal experience with nearly all the varieties has cemented the writer's regard for the slate. Architecturally conforming to the bronze, it is a rational forager, igorous, of even temperament and most satisfactory for market Its coat is zincgray with lighter tail and wings. Often the blue-gray quills are Irregularly spotted with black. Its sombre color denies it the distinction of beauty, but its bearing equals that of the bronze. This variety, often called the blue or gray, is gradually WASHINGTON, I. C, March 2. A review of the most significant steps that have been taken in the last few years to benefit the txonomic condition of the farmer is contained in an article by c'arl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture, published in the forthcoming year book of the department. In this article, Mr. Vrooman points out that for 50 years the United States department of agriculture has been studying how to increase production on the farms, but that it is only very recently that stress has been laid on a study of the problem of making that production profitable. In the past, he says, there has been a mistaken theory that everybody is interested in increasing agricultural production, but that nobody but the farmer is interested in making that production profitable. That this theory has at last been recognized as fallacious is indicated by important legislation enacted In the last few years, prominent in this legislation was the creation, in 1913, of the oliiee of markets and rural organization. The creation of this office, says Mr. Vrooman. "was an Innovation of epoch-making significance." This oliiee represents the tirst attempt on the part of the government to remedy through scientific investigation the waste ar.d extravagance in our present methods of distributing and disposing of farm p rod nets. Long before there w as any official recognition of the need for this step, the farmers themselves realized the necessity for it. The grang movement, the farmers' alliance movement, and the populist movement were all inspired by the conviction on the part of the producers that organization on their part was essential to improvement in their econmie condition. The assistant secretary points out thar. while many of the specific remedies demanded y the leaders of these movements were impracticable, their basic demands were just, and he emphasizes the necessity of applying to these problems much the same methods of scientific study which have made possible such extraordinary advances in the produc tion of crops. In addition tc the creation of the office of markets and rural organisation, a number of laws have been passed which are characterized as of immense economic imronr. e to the farmer. Perhaps the most important one of these is "that financial manna rharta of the farmer, the farm loan act. This." declares the assistant secretary, "is the first great financial measure er passed by congress primarily .in the irterest of the farmer. I have no doubt that in the future it will be strer.gtneneu oy amendments with regard to some of its minor details, as was the federal -eserve bill, but in all fairness it must be admitted that this bill will do for the farmer very much what the federal reserve act is doing for th" business man. It will furnish the farmer with those fundamental necessities that he has been asking for. voting for. and praying for during the past half century." These fundamental necessities are d'r.cd as: 'rt. Available capita'. In sufficient quantities for the farmer's legitimate reeds. Second. Loans on longer time and ea-ier trms of payment. Third. Lower rates of interest. Another measure cited in this conert:on is the bonded warehouse act of Aug. 11. 1316. This legislation w is passed in respor.se to a demand on tiie part of the farmers for a me 'hanisni that would enable them to borrow money more easily, and t a lower rat of interest, on stored

ning its way by its sound qualities. This breed rr.2Mres f h nttie earlier s less rangy in trän the bronze, is less rangy build, prepares rapidly for market, and does equally well on open or limited ground. WIM Turkey ami Mongrel Flocks. The wild turkey, very much like its big brother, the bronze, with more of the brown in its sheen, is extremely active and hardy. It has been domesticated and introduced as a sire in pure-bred flocks with the object of increasing vigor, with gratifying res'. Its. Mongrel flocks are not desirable. If made a rule, the breeders deteriorate in size and thriftiness. Original crosses produce good individuals. A flock oi slate hens headed by a bronze gobbler yields a progeny excellent for dressing, but undesirable as sires. In reviewing the varieties accord ing to their qualities, it may be noted that for size, one may select bronze, narragansett or bourbon red. For vigor, the wild turkey, bronze, 'slate and black are entries. In the "good dresser" class are the light-feathered varieties, slate, white holland, buff. Hangers include the f lack, bronze, ! narragansett ami slate, while the j buff is more domestic. It is wise to be assured of acclimatized stock when changing to a neve variety. The best will fail under ad verse conditions. And it is not ad ,-hlle the breed visable to change w one has is satisfactory. After all one is forced finally te test by experience. The unknown factor is always how the new vuriety will accommodate Itself to a new climate and an unfamiliar location. crops. . It permits a farmer to place produce in a bonded warehouse and secure a receipt for it. On this receipt he can easily borrow money, for it represents gilt-edsed security. The risk which 'n the old days the banker took in lending money, even to farmers with good credit, is eliminated by this method and the rates of interest therefore lowered. In addition, the farmer now has a much larger field in which to negotiate his loans than in the days when he was practicaly limited to those bankers who knew him personally. The cotton United States futures act and the grain standards, act are cited as further examples of re - cent progressive agrarian legislation. "The la'ter of these." Mr. Vrooman says, "is a step in the direction of national efficiency and national economic preparedness." Its effect will be markedly beneficial on our foreign commerce in grain. Of the cotton futures act it is said that the net result already has been that the prices of cotton which are now published every day throughout the country reflect the actual changes in the value of cotton rather than quotations of arbitrary fluctuations created by gamblers for their own benefit, as was too often the case in the past. In summing up the effect of theso and other laws, Mr. Vrooman says: "It is clear, I think, that as a result of this splendid program of constructive legislation, a new agricultural epoch, has begun. At last what for so long was merely the nope, me aspiration, ine u.ea,., tli. wMiv scattered, imnerfectiv orennized tillers of our soil has he come the avowed policy of the fed- j eral department of agriculture, and has been written by congress into , the law of the land." j In conclusion the assistant secre-1 . . - - - a Alt! tary says: "There is inoeen sun need for organized effort on the part of farmers, still need for educational campaigns in behalf of measures to meet those requirements of the farmer which still remain rnsatisfied. Put it is a great thing that the government of the nation that leads the world in agricultural production at last Is raeeting the farmer at least half way and has manifested a willingness, and a friendly deire. to cooperate with him in the future in any constructive work that looks to the building up of our na'onnl prosperity on the basis of a permanently prosperous agriculture."

FOREIGN PLANTS

TESTED BY U.S. fjew Fruits, Nuts and Salad 7 . Plants Being Introduced Into This Country. WASHINGTON, March 2. A wide variety of promising foreign plants ; are now being propagated ana lea,ed by the government in the plant introduction gardens maintained by the United States department of ag- ' riculture in Florida, California, i Washington and Maryland, i These gardens may be called the ; "Ellis islands" of the plant immigration service. In them the plant imI migrants are carefully studied in ; order to make sure that they carry with them no disease, and only those , which are know n to be desirable additions are permitted to make a j home in this country. The plants 1 which have successfully passed this scrutiny are distributed to the state ! experiment stations and to thous- ! ands of experimenters and breeders j thrtughout the country. At the present time, says an article by P. H. Horsett in the 1913 V,Ut I" 'V 1 V'l. Illl IV I'Ul 1WIV III, UVB i attention is being bestowed upon recent importations from China. Among these are the jujube. This, it is said, ituy well prove commercially profitable in California and the ! mi-arid south and southwest. vv nen prepared wun cane sugar, jujubes have as delicate a ilavor as many dates. It is also a very good fresh fruit and has long been popular in China. The Chinese pistaehe is another importation which has been suggested for use as an avenue tree. Thousands of young trees have been distributed to parks throughout the country for this purpose. One advantage of this tree is the great age to which it lives. For the production of nuts the variety of pistaehe found in central and western Asia is being tried. At present the entire supply of nuts used in the coloring and flavoring of ice cream and candy comes from abroad, but it is said that th..re is .10 reason why this country should not grow- its own supply. The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys in California appear to be well suited to the industry. Chinese Irolutis Are Te-tU'd. Chinese persimmons and Chinese chestnuts are also being tested. It Is believed that the Chinese chestnut may prove exceptionally valu- ! able because of its power to resist the chestnut bark disease, which is ! doing so much damage among the native chestnuts. The persimmon, j u is thought, might be grown cornmercially in California and in those sections in the south where the temperature does not fall much below zero. In China and Japan dried persimmons are a staple food and there seems to be no reason why they should not be eaten largely In this country. Still another importation is an early sweet cherry which has been introduced from Tangshi, China. This may prove profitable to growers as an early cherry for the eastern markets. A number of new vegetables, too, are being tested in the plant introduction gardens. Among these are the chayote from tropical America. This vine produces pear-shaped fruit in abundance in the fall. They somewhat resemble in Haven summer squash or vegetable marrow. j nnd may ,,e U;eil as a frCsh v egej table throughout the winter. The udo is a new salad plant from Japan that may grow in practically every state. This is grown in much the same way as asparagus and may be cooked as well in the same way. A few plants of udo. says the article, should be in cverv home garden. m:v i:i;sT.ru ant. I have just opened a new restaurant at u. Tutt St. Pest mealand lunches Pete Planta, Prop.

NO SPRING SHOOTING OF WATERFOWLS ALLOWED

WASHINGTON. I). C March :. I The United States department of agriculture has received inquiries from many sportsmen in the middle west in regard to spring shooting of waterfowl. In respome the department has made the following public announcement: Lnder the federal regulations from Feb. each year Suites on migratory j there is a closed season 1 to Sept. 6, inclusive, throughout the United waterfowl and other game birds; the season for huntinc is further restricted in various parts of the country to periods not exceeding three and one-half months. The open season on waterfowl in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri is from Sept. 16 to Dec. 31, inclusive, and it is unlawful to hunt or kill waterfowl in those states at any other time. Persons committing violations of the regulations may be prosecuted at any time within three years after an offense is committed. USING CONVICTS F AD II Government Experts Trace Growth of This Practice in United States. WASHINGTON. March steady decrease since 1SS." proportion of convicts in the 3. A in the United states employed in miscellaneous work under lease and contract and a marked increase in the proportion employed for the benefit of the state on highways and other public works are shown in statistics Just published by the office of nublic roads and rural engineering of the United States department of agriculture. ' These statistics are included in de-! I arment bulletin 414. a professional paper, which reports one of the first txhausitve studies made in this country covering the administrative, engineering, economic, disciplinary, and health conditions In convict road camps. Representatives of the United states public health servke cooperated with the specialists of the department of agriculture in makint? the studies. The systems adopted by the several states are discussed and recommendations are made for the achievement of greater efficiency in operation of the convict camps and conduct of the road work. The systems of convict labor are classified jn the report as lease, contract, and piece-price systems, under which the labor of the convicts is for the benefit of private individuals or corporations, often in the manufacture of commodities; the public-account system, under which the convict made Koods are sold by the state; the state-use system, under which goods are manufactured only for u.e in state Institutions: and the public works and ways system, under which the labor of the convicts is devoted to public dructure and roads. The latter system h;is jrrovvn in popularity, it is pointed out, because it makes use of the convict labor with a minimum o' competition with free labor, contributes fairly lastini: benefits to the whole community, affords healthful and even somewhat reformative employment to the convicts, and reduces congestion in penal institutions. The most satisfactory use of the system, jn the opinion of the department's road specialists, is under tutc rather than county administration. Since 1 S s 5 , the report shows, the pereenta'-e of convicts in a large number of representative institutions vvorkin-; under the publicaccount, tate-u.-e. and public work. and wa s system-, has increa.-cd from to Ml per cent, while the proportion engaged in road work alone has increased from 1.3 per ' c nt 1o nearly 13 per cent. Convicts should not be indiscriminately put to work on roads, it is pointed out. Only those who are physically fit for the work should be employed. It may be eve n desirable and practicable in many instances to reserve asi'-nment to the open-air work as a reward for ood behaviot. Physically and by former mode of life, statistics cited in the report show, about three-fourths of the average male prison population is better fitted for out-door labor than for shop work. In practice, when all considerations are ' taken into account, it has been found that from 25 to ZO per cent of the male inmates of prisons are available for road work. The employment of state convicts i n - n fi r mnlfin" the rpr.firt shows. I first became general in the south in the early 90's. Such use of state .-nvicts has been made by northern and western states, however, mostly during the last 10 vears. FARMERS NOTICE The t.

Less Digestible Than Wheat and Corn But Furnishes Variety in Diet. WASHINGTON. I). C. March 2. Although the protein of the grain forshum has been shown by dietetic experiments of the oihce of home economics of the United States department of agriculture to be less digestible- than that of corn or wheat, all of the sorghums except kaoliang furnish a fairly good source of protein and practically as good a source of carbohydrates as the two grains in most general use. The department specialists, therefore, find the grain sorghums worthy of use in all sections to give variety to the diet. In regions v here other cereals are not so successfully grown, it is pointed out, the grain sorghums may contribute materially to the supply of substances suitable as human food. The conclusions in regard to these grains are set forth in department bulletin No. 4 7 0, recently published. Tests were made with kafir, feteita, milo and kaoliang, both in the form of bread and as mush, check tests wero made also with corn and wheat as breads. All ix of the grains w?re ground into meals oi the same fineness in the same mill. In the experiments with the breads, the average digestibility of the protein of the wheat was found to be 77.3 per cent; corn, 59.9 ; katir, 1.2; feterita, ."jO.. milo, 40; and kaoliang, 19.8. In the experiments with mushes made from meals of the four grain sorghums, the digestibility of the protein was about 4S per cent for feterita and kafir, approxi

The results of the investigation as a whole indicate that while it i best to use some wheat flour to make up for the lack of gluten in the sorghum meal. a fairly large proportion of the meal may be satisfactorily used in admixture with wheat llour in the preparation of common foods. In preparing the grain sorghums for fond it is important to make certain of the absorption of water in such uuar.tities that the particles of meal, which are characteristically h.trd or fiinty. may be well softened. To many palates th" grain sorghums more nearly resemble buckwheat in Ilavor than they do corn or wheat. The flavor Is juite generally regarded as agreeable, and the grains are conceded to be wholesome. Dwarf kafir, dwarf milo, and feterita will pop like popcorn. The dwarf kafir pops more completely than the other grains, however, and produces a more palatable product.
