Daddus ( Fairu Tale -MARf • GRAHAM’tiONMBR —" " VtVi»M KtVVAMI UHtOH THE BALL In the music shop the lullaby had put them all to sleep, but they were only going to take a nap so as to rest for the ball that was going to take place. The Instruments and pieces of music had all come to life and were having a fine entertainment for their guest, Minna. But the lullaby had certainly made them sleepy. At the very last note everyone of them had fallen off to sleep, though some had gone to sleep a little before i the end. ! Minna looked around and saw the music sheets resting on tables and counters. The Big Bass Viol was leaning up against a wall, taking his nap. The | Violin was resting upon a chair. Minna put her head down on the Piano and closed her eyes. Either she went to sleep very quickly or else the others didn’t sleep any length of time at all, for in what seemed but a few minutes the Metronome shouted: “Time-to-wake-up.” Once again they all dusted themselves off, and one or two sheets of music smoothed out their corners which had got bent over a little. Then everyone began to dance. The . Sharps and the Flats came out from the pages of the music and jumped here, there, and everywhere over the Piano. The Grace Notes did the love- | liest of dancing steps. The Octaves stretched themselves to I their full length. They certainly looked quite large and Minna kept stretching her hands the way she did when trying to reach octaves on the piano at home. Os course none of these little creatures were big enough to dance on the floor. They danced on some of the //v / ... *^ w ’ l ***'*>«>' 1 <1 •' Minna Put Her Head Down. other pianos in the shop and the Grace Notes did the same, flying down ' over other Notes, reminding Minna of the way butterflies alighted on the honey-sttckle bushes in the garden. The Chords came out ‘in groups and looked distinguished and handsome. From time to time the orchestra changed. A new group took the places of those who had been playing, so all had a chance to dance. ■ Minna danced a lovely dance with I the Violin who hummed softly and ■ sweetly as he danced. The First Pieces were dancing around with some of the Seales. Minna particularly liked the look of one C Major Scale who was like his relatives and yet appeared finer and of greater dignity and simplicity than the others. He was dancing with | a charming little First Piece. The First Piece, Minna noticed, was written in the C Major key. Perhaps that was why they had so much in common, or were in such harmony as Miss Drumble, her teacher. would say. There were other First Pieces, to be sure, but Minna watched this couple more than any of the others. Even as she danced with her different partners, she watched them. They were dancing together all the time. The tunes to which they danced were many. How gay it all was! Minna was glad that she had en her good blue dress. Her every-day dress had become so shabby that she had j dressed up in her better one for her | music lesson. When she had started on he-' walk she had thought of going home to change into the old one, but then she , had decided she hadn’t much time, j and that she wouldn't really hurt it. . How thankful she was now that she J had not gone home to put on her old one. The ball was wonderful. Such lovely music, so bright ans so jolly, such delightful, graceful, interesting dancing. See No Trou»er» A boy had presented little Catherine with a mudturtle. “What’s its name?” inquired her father. “Nellie,” replied Catherine. “Oh,” said her father teasingly. “so that’s the kind of a boy it is?” “It’s not a boy,” she came back in a tone of childish finality. “Well, I don’t see any skirts on It,” father persisted. “You don’t see any trousers on it, eltner, daddy,” declared Catherine.

PWLTRV EASY TO DETECT POULTRY DISEASE Expert Tells of Tests to Show Carriers of Ills. “Fifteen years’ experience has taught the Massachusetts poultry men that the so-called agglutination test is an efficient means of detecting carriers of bacillary white diarrhea infection,” said W. R. Hinshaw, of the MassaI chusetts Agricultural college experiment station. In this test, made ; under a microscope, specimens of the i suspected bacteria are mixed with a j sample of diluted blood serum from | the infected bird. “The laboratory I test alone will not eradicate the disI ease; it is only one step in the progress.” Under the Massachusetts law. the control of the disease is voluntary with the poultryman. who pays for the service at the experiment station control laboratory at the rate of 10 cents a bird plus 1 cent for the leg band. The cost of 11 cents for each bird includes expenses of the blood collector as well as the actual laboratory work. Mr. Hinshaw attributes the failure of certain poultry men to eradicate the disease to a number of reasons. The poultryman may fail to test all his birds, or fail to retest at intervals within the season if the flock is found to be infected, or he may keep chicks which have been hatched before the test had been completed. Other reasons are the failure to remove reactors from the flock as soon as they are i reported; the tailure to burn offal ’ from birds which react to the test killed for home use; and the failure to clean and disinfect the houses following the removal of reactors. Sometimes the poultry man makes ■ the mistake of holding reactors for , egg-laying purppses, and feeding eggs from unknown sources to baby chicks, i Again he may hatch eggs for poultry- 1 men who have not tested their flocks. : i or buy stock such as eggs, chicks, and j | adults, from diseased flocks. When he I returns birds to the flocks from poul- 1 i try shows and egg-laying contests : without first quarantining them, he I runs danger. Lack of attention to details in the field at the time of collection of blood samples may result in failure to eradicate the disease. Convenience Important in Poultry Buildings Though convenience concerns the manager directly, it indirectly affects the poultry. The more convenient it ' is to do the work the easier it is, and the surer that it will be done; the poultry plant should be “get-at-able” for the manager or feeder. Put the poultry house where it can be got to readily, and also make it possible to feed the poultry without hav- ! ing to run to the granary or stable i for grain. In the gate, the door, the driveway, and everything connected with the poultry, convenience should be studied. * I Often this one item determines the ! difference between pleasure and drudgery, and the one is as easy to have as the other. Not only should the house be accessible, but the internal arrangements ought to be such that the necessary work- may be done with the least amount of labor. If the man can do the work in the hen house with the ease with which it is done in the horse stable, there will be fewer filthy poultry houses and much better returns. Buckwheat Favored for Feeding During Winter Buckwheat has some qualities to be | recommended. It is oily and, there- I fore, supplies heat to the birds and is particularly adapted to winter feeding. It is fattening. Because it has so j much woody fiber, however, it is only worth about one-half as much pound ; for pound as wheat for poultry feed. Ground and mixed with skim milk and buttermilk it makes a very good fat- : tening mash. In scratch feeds for lay- I ing flocks it is generally used in no greater quantities than 10 per cent for the above reason; too much fiber. Light Important Light is very important in the poultry house in winter, because the days are short at best. If the hens do not have sufficient light to take full advantage of their opportunities to eat, they will not be al>le to lay many eggs. Artificial lights are considered profitable in increasing winter production, and it certainly is worth while to provide for the maximum benefits from natural daylight. Nothing contributes more to contentment and wellbeing of the flock than clean litter. Save for Chicks It is not too early to plan on saving some of the winter egg money to ' buy early chicks for the replenishment of the farm flock. Money is frequently saved by placing the order eany, and the farmer is sure of obtaining the chicks at the right time. Installment buying helps many a man to obtain useful things. A hundred dollars for chicks may be hard to scrape up next spring. But if S2O can be placed in the chick fund every month it is a great help. . Hatching Turkeys Two or three farmers who have the same breed of turkeys can enter an agreement to exchange so that one week one of them will get enough eggs to fill his incubator and the next week another, until all the incubators are set. In this way the eggs will go into the incubator when one week old. During the winter the turkey hens that are being held over to produce eggs for hatching in the spring will do better and produce better eggs for incubation if they have a laying mash.

€77ie CONTROL GARLIC BY FALL PLOWING Keep Plants Down by Grazing Live Stock. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Timely plowing late each fall and again early in the spring, followed by the growing of thoroughly cultivated ■ row crops, are the essential steps in the so-called cultural method of controlling wild garlic, says the United States Department of Agriculture. In most places this system must be followed for at least three years in order ! to obtain a satisfactory clean-up of the weed. ; Details of the method are given in Leaflet 43-L. Wild Garlic and Its Control, just issued bS’ the United States Department of Agriculture. The leaflet also gives a description of the plant and of other plants often mistaken for garlic. Farmers should be able to recognize wild garlic, the department says, as it is more difficult to eradicate than the other species. Grazing with live stock, especially sheep, for several seasons, as closely as may be safe without serious injury to the pasture, aids in keeping down the growth of garlic in steep, rocky or wooded pastures that cannot he plowed. When dairy cows are pastured .in garlicky fields, it is necessary to remove them from the pasture four to seven hours before milking to ! eliminate entirely the garlic flavor and odor from the milk. Milk cows should not be turned into such pastures in the spring until suitable forage plants are large enough to furnish good grazing. Copies of the leaflet may be obtained free while the supply lasts by ! writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 1 " Bad Practice to Leave Calf With Cow Very Long A common practice is to leave the calf with the cow for the first three or four days. This plan allows the calf to be with the cow during the time when the udder is inflamed. : However, the longer the calf is allowed to remain with the cow, the harder it : i will be to teach it to drink. If at ■ i first a calf does not drink readily from l a pail, it is advisable to keep it with- : out food for at least 12 hours. It is j then hungry and is usually willing to ! try drinking. Warm whole milk, fresh from the cow, should be measured or preferably weighed into a clean pail. The quantity of milk that a calf will do well on varies according to the : size,.breed and individuality of the ! calf. In general, for Jersey or Guernsey calves, one pound of milk daily for each ten pounds of live weight is a safe quantity. Ayrshire. Holstein, Brown Swiss and Shorthorn calves may he fed one pound of milk a day for each eight pounds of live j weight. Skim Milk Calf The skim milk calf should be allowed to eat some grain. One good mixture consists of equal parts of corn meal, wheat bran, and ground oats. If the oats are not available a mixture of equal parts of corn meal and wheat bran may be used. A Jersey calf at three months of age should I weigh in the neighborhood of 150 pounds and should eat one pound of grain. By the time it is six months j old its weight should be around 300 ■ pounds. Dairy Facts Sentimental regard for a bull is usually misplaced. j * * Every farmer who milks ten or more j cows can hardly afford to be without | a silo. Every dairy farmer should provide in his crop ration some of the legume hay crops. « • • Where nonlegume roughages are used in the ration, the protein is low and must be furnished in the grain ration. • * « Experimental results show that milk and fat can be produced at a lower ; cost where silage is included in the ; winter ration. • • • Dried blood meal, mixed with the milk, also helps when a calf is sickly or inclined to scour. Start-with one teaspoonful and increase to four teaspoonfuls, if found necessary. In cold, stormy weather dairy cows J should be outdoors only long enough to drink, and if the stable is comfort- | able and water available they should not go out at all except on clear, warm days. * * * The dry roughage part of the ration includes legumes and other hay crops. Alfalfa, clover, soy bean and cowpea hay represent the best dry roughages that can be fed, because they are high in protein. When these crops are grown on the farm they provide the cheapest protein tliat can be fed. • * * Dairy calves should have warm, dry, well-bedded staffs, and they will grow more satisfactorily if each calf has a stall by itself. If this is not possible then each calf should be tied with a rope or fastened in stanchion during feeding. « • • Under ordinary conditions give the dairy cow all the roughage she will eat. Silage and legume hay seem the best combination. The silage should be fed at the rate of three or four pounds a day for each hundred pounds of live weight
