Timely Reminders from The Pennsyl-
vania State College,
Break Up Broody Hen-—-The broody
hen a great deal of time from
® her laying duties, Usually it amounts
to three or four weeks, and if not brok-
en up immediately she wastes a lot
more. The average number of days
lost by a Broody hen runs from 30 days
for Leghorns to 58 days for Hhode
Island Reds, according to poultry spec-
falists of the Penna. State College. This
loss may be overcome by removing the
hen the first night she goes on the
nest, putting her In a coop elfher alone
or with other broody hens. and feed:
ing her a laying mash, clean water,
and green feed.
Remove Holes In Lawn. Depressions
may be removed from lawn# in two
ways. In the first, carefully take up
the sod for several feet beyond the lim-
its of the depression, place~ good top
soll In the depression, tamp it well and
replace the sod. In the other method
* place not more than 3 to 3% inches
of top soll over the existing grass and
sow grass seed. The old grass plants
will grow through the soil.
Sow Some Alfalfac~Alfalfa seed is
lower in price than clover, so it Is ad-
visable to mix some with the clover
this spring. Sow two‘thirds of the
regular rate of red clover with 8 to 15
pounds of alfalfa per acre. Northwes*
tern grown geed is good for most parts
of the State! and Canadian Variegated
is adaptable to the Northern sections.

The Omnibus Road Bil
The omnibus highway bill introduced
at Harrisburg providing for an addi-
tion of 600 miles of roads to the
State's secondary highway system, is
to called because of the definition “om:
nibus” as a legislative bill which
makes a number of miscellaneous pro-
vigions or appropriations.” Omnibus
highway bilis. however, recall another
definition of the term as a vehicle
large enough to carry everybody. When
such a bill Is framed every leglsiator
whose constituents want a road added
to the State highway system gets
aboard with his bill, The result is
iHustrated In the outcome of the om-
nibus road bill of two years ago which
included 1200 miles of road--it was
too heavy to get anywhere, To date
but a few of the 1200 miles of road
have received attention, Of course, 800
miles more will do no harm.

Opposition to the open season is
based on several premises, the first of
which is that killing of the tame fe

The second argument against an op

attended by grave risk to hunters. The
present law, Hmiting kills to males
with two or more points to an antler,
hae curbed the activities of the huster
who used to shoot anything which

ter he had shot to learn whether it

doe season must be made separate from

tions fixed in order to compel just as
much caution as is now required dur:
ing the season for bucks.
The commission might profitably
spend more effort in discovering just
how much actual damage deer have
wrought. The result might very much
simplify matters. .
