{PERIMENT IN REARING
RING-NECK PHEASANTS.
The board of game commisisoners
taking an important step toward
rfecting Pennsylvania’s system of
me management in deciding to ex-
riment with the rearing of ring-
cked pheasants and wild turkeys
thin the confines of the Common-
alth. An ideal game State furnish-
its own game without depending
on outside sources. Large game
thin the State, such as the white-
led deer and black bear, are hold-
r their own; cottontail rabbits may
purchased outside the State at
ysonable cost; but ring-neck
easants and wild turkeys may be
rchased only in limited numbers
d at excessive prices. The game
mmission proposes, therefore, to
> money heretofore devoted to pur-
ase of game, in rearing these game
«ds on such refuges as are suited
the development of game propa-
ting plants.
Ring-neck pheasants have become
ry popular as game birds in Penn-
lvania. They are not only hand-
me as trophies, but their flesh is
Jicate in flavor, and as they learn
> meaning of dogs and guns they
come very clever in evading the
nter. The presence. of ring-necks
‘Pennsylvania, in relieving the bur-
n of shooting from other game
‘ds, accomplishes more toward sav-
» our grouse, bob-whites and wild
rkeys than any other single feature
our game management, and the
nter is satisfied to pursue the ring-
ck, realizing, as he does, that it is
worthy game bird. By rearing her
m birds, Pennsylvania will be as-
red of healthy, acclimated stock,
d will not be embarrassed by dif-
ulty in locating birds suitable for
r uses. She will have a constant
pply with which to stock depleted
sas whenever such restocking is
cessary.
The game commission plans to dis-
bute eggs among the various ref-
es where there is open ground suf-
iently extensive for establishing
ppagating plants, and where the
tuge keepers can handle this work
ng with other activities. Arrange-
nts are now being made to equip
sse game refuges with hatching
)ps and exercising pens. About 500
“these pens will be distributed in
> pear future. Later on breeding
ns will be provided for a few of the
*fuges where some of the adult birds
11 be held for the production of fer-
> eggs.
The New York State conservation
mmission is so much interested in
» success of this undertaking that
= has offered to donate 5,000 pheas-
t eggs for Pennsylvania's use. New
rk’s State game farms have been
.cessful in rearing ring-necks, and,
the cooperative spirit which char-
terizes the conservation movement
-oughout this. country today, she
nerously gives this aid. An addi-
nal 5,000 pheasant eggs will be
rchased at a cost of about 25 cents
h. New York's $1,250 gift is evi-
nce of the friendliness of that great
ate. Two hundred wild turkey eggs
ve been ordered. They will cost
out $1.25 each. All eggs will be
tched under domestic hens, this
ithod having been most successful
other States.
Rearing ring-necks and wild tur-
ys is not an easy task; but the
ard of game commissioners knows
it what has been accomplished by
rers can also be accomplished with-
Pennsylvania. A capable man has
an placed in charge of propagation
rk within the bureau of refuges
d lands. He has made a careful
idy of several large game farms in
» east and will travel from refuge
refuge instructing refuge keepers
to how to set the eggs and care
* the chicks. Written instructions
ym the bureau of refuges and lands
ve already gone out to refuge keep-
;, and it is expected that shipments
materials required fof propagation
nts will be made within a few
eks. The game commission expects
spend about $12,000 this spring in
yviding equipment, purchasing do-
stic hens and game bird eggs, and
forth, in inaugurating the game-
d propagating program. This is a
+y small amount of money to devote
a project which promises to fur-
h sportsmen a great amount of out-
sr pleasure in hunting, at an even-
il saving of funds.
it is barely possible that a few of
: 10,000 eggs which will be avail-
le this spring will not be allotted
game refuge keepers for hatching.
ould there be a surplus these eggs
.y be distributed to trustworthy
yrtsmen’s - organizations and indi-
lual farmers and sportsmen who
[1 cooperate with the game commis-
n in the work of hatching and rear-
r young birds. All of the wild tur-
y eggs will be cared for by refuge
spers. - Pennsylvania may eventual-
rear a sufficient number of ring-
ks from her propagating plants on
me refuges to distribute eggs to
‘mers and sportsmen within the
mmonwealth for hatching, and thus
lp in the pleasant work of main-
ning an adequate game supply.

FARM NOTES.
1 —Plant more carrots, beets ‘and
swiss chard for greens.
—Save the pea vines this year to
turn under as fertilizer this fall.
—Try a new sweet corn this year.
There is a long list from which to
choose.
i _Radishes dnd lettuce may be
planted the first warm days of spring;
and onions may do better to
better to wait until the weather is
more settled.
—Don’t plant all your carrots or
beets at one time, but make several
sowings of each, a couple weeks
apart. They’re so much nicer when
young and tender.
—Soy beans are now grown in a
wide variety and a seed house of rec-
ognized standing should be consulted
as to the adaptability of any variety
ed | for the section where it is desired to
grow this legume.
—That long-standing belief that a
hog is naturally a dirty creature who
revels and thrives in a mud wallow
has been completely wrecked by 500
Iowa farmers.
The fact is that the hog is as clean
as any other farm animal, but until
recently has never had a chance to
prove it. Given clean pasture lands
on which to feed, instead of the old-
fashioned hog-pen, regular baths and
clean bedding, the hog will produce
bigger and better pigs, and more of
them. At the same time the death
rate will be markedly lowered.
These are the facts brought out by
E. L. Quaife, farm expert, reporting
in The Farm Journal the results ob-
tained by the 500 Iowa farmers who
lead hygienic lives.
Farmers who raise their hogs year
after year on the same ground and in
the same unclean quarters are expos-
ing them to periodical ravages of
parasites which kill off many and
stunt the growth of many more, the
test cases, directed by Iowa farm bu-
reau experts show.
In one case an owner put 18 sows
on clean alfalfa pasture land, washed
them carefully before they gave
birth to their litters and housed the
pigs in clean quarters where para-
sites had no chance to develop. Of
180 pigs born, 174 were sold, fat and
healthy.
Eight other sows were kept in an
old-fashioned piggery under the old
conditions. These gave birth to 48
pigs, of which only 16 were alive at
the end of four months; and all of the
16 were stunted and unthrifty.
—Hogs will live on pasture or on
grain alone in the summer, but they’ll
live far better and produce more
economical pork if the pasture and
grain are combined.
{ “A saving of from 15 to 25 per
cent. of the total amount of grain and
supplements may be expected through
the use of forage as a supplement,”
says J. W. Wuichet, live stock exten-
sion specialist at the Ohio State uni-
versity.
While it is possible to obtain gains
with hogs on good forage alone, the
best returns, according to Mr. Wui-
chet, follow addition of grain to the
forage, feeding two td four pounds of
grain a day for each 100 pounds of
live weight. With less grain the
time required to obtain the gains is
longer.
How much difference in time that
' may be was demonstrated in a recent
| experiment. It was found, Mr. Wui-
| chet reports, that spring pigs on pas-
ture, fed limited grain, took 47 more
days to reach market weight than di
spring pigs on pasture and full grain
feed. As a rule the hog that gains
most rapidly is gaining most eco-
nomically regardless of the amount
of feed necessary.
For hog pasture alfalfa leads the
list, followed closely by red and al-
sike clover, rape or rape and oats
mixtures. First-year sweet clover
also makes good pasture. Blue grass
is the best permanent pasture for
most sections, but permanency is its
chief virtue. Especially during sum-
mer other forage crops are needed for
hogs. In late fall and early spring
rye makes good hog pasture.
—1It is advisable for the prospec-
tive orchardist to order his trees six
months or more in advance of plant-
ing. By placing his order early, he
has better assurance of getting the
quality and kind of trees desired and
of having the trees arrive at the
proper time for planting. Although
our best nurserymen make every ef-
fort to accommodate their patrons,
during the rush season it is not al-
ways posisble to supply the type of
trees wanted and to get them to the
grower when they are most desired.
The care exercised in planting is re-
flected in the growth, yield and fi-
nancial returns of the orchard, which
suggests the importance of giving at-
tention to every detail of the werk.
—A machine that is practically a
vacuum cleaner for samples of grain
and other granular substances is
described in a recent circular pub-
lished by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The device was
developed in the grain investigations’
office of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics for use in connection with
laboratory amalysis of grain, flax,
rice, seeds and similar substances,
and it is to be of great assistance to
grain inspectors and seed analysts in
their work of inspecting and grading
these commodities, according to the
circular.
The machine is an application, for
laboratory use, of the same air-clean-
ing principles as are used in the
thresher grain aspirator. Both of
these ‘devices are protected for public
use under the same public patent.
—Proper housing of poultry is of
vital importance in the success of
poultry keeping. A house should be
so ‘designed that it can be economi-
cally constructed. It should provide
for perfect protection from storms,
afford sufficient sunshine during win-
ter months, give plenty of ventilation
without drafts, and possess uniform-
ity of temperature,
— Quality of eggs produced on the
farms can be improved by marketing
them at least twice a week in hot
weather. The eggs should be kept in
a! dry,‘eool, well-ventilated place.

Colleges Seek Changes for R adio
Broadcasting.
The problem of providing satisfac-
tory wave lengths and power for col-
lege radio stations is being worked
out by the federal radio commission
with the co-operation of a committee
representing the Association of Land
Grant Colleges.
Twenty Land Grant colleges which
are supported by federal and State
aid, regularly send out radio educa-
tional programs, some of them giving
extension courses. :
While most of the college stations
report satisfactory broadcasting con-
ditions, some desire increased power
change in wave lengths and elimina-
tion of interference. Members of
the college radio committee declare
seven to nine in the evening is the
best time for educational programs.
Assignment to college stations of
these hours, which conflict with the
schedules of many entertainment pro-
grams is the chief problem confront-
ing the commission.

France Consumed More Alcohol in
1927 Than Any Other Country.
France in 1927, as in all previous
years, consumed more pure alcohol
than any other country in the world.
Official figures published in “Letoile
Bleue” shows that the average
Frenchman makes away with fifteen
quarts of pure alcohol yearly—that
is, before the law. But this means
only one-half the story. For besides
this acknowledged taxed consumma-
tion, there is an enormous quantity
of the liquid made in private stills
throughout the country.
The Anti-Alcoholic League report-
ed 778,028 known stills in the year
1917. The number has increased with
alarming steadiness, until today the
same organization now reports three
millions.
There is one wine-shop for every
eighty inhabitants in France, a larg-
er percentage than any other Euro-
pean country. Germany counts one
for every 246 persons; England one
for every 430 and Sweden only one
for every three thousand.
