(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) How a Virginia farmer marketed pigs heavier and more profitable than he had raised in the past is told In a circulur, "Better Sires for Virginia,” recently issued hy the extension divi sion o f the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical college. “ I used to raise scrub pigs," the farmer declares. “ I didn’t think there was much money In the hog business because I didn’t make much. Since using purebreds sires I have changed my mind. As a result of using pure- breda sires m.v nigs weighed 215 pounds Not Necessary to Have Hens of Extra Good Standard Q uality for Egg Production. For the backyard flock, kept to pro duce eggs only. It Is not necessary to have hens o f extra good standard quality. What breeders o f standard poultry call choice utility hens are as good as any for egg production, and cost but Uttle more, than ordinary mongrels. Hens of this grade In the medium-sized breeds are usually a little under standard weights, and have superficial faults— as unsound ness o f color, or Irregularity o f mark ings or o f the shape of the comb— which In no way affect their laying capacity, but make them unfit for ex hibition and undesirable for breeding purposes.

Healthy hens have bright red combs and bright eyes, assert poultry specialists o f the United State« department o f agricul ture. A slight paleness o f the comb Is simply an Indication that the hen Is not laying at the tim e; but a bird whose comb has either a yellowish or a bluish cast should he rejected, fo r these are symptoms o f internal disorders. The skin and scales of legs and toes should be smooth, and the soles o f the feet soft and free from corns.

WANT* SOME CHANCES *T0 REFUSE I CONTROL OF WEEDS IN CORN Good Harrowing at Proper Tim e Is Most Effective W ay of Checking Growth of Plants, A good harrowing at the proper time Is often the cheapest and most efficient way o f controlling weeds dur ing the first stages o f growth o f the corn. The harrow or the weoder also can he used to advantage In breaking up a crust caused by a heavy, dashing rain. A« Soon as Young Males Begin to Crow Th e y Should Be Fattened for M arket The young stock should not be rear ed among a flock o f old birds. They should be kept separate. As soon as the young inales nag and worry the females (which Is nhout the time they start to crow) the sexes should be separated, and the males fed an extra allowance o f food. The coi-kerels can be mated to the hens without fear of had effects from Inbreeding. PLANT SOY BEANS ANY TIME FURNISH SHADE IN SUMMER For Hay, Pasture, Green Manure or Soiling Crop Sow Any Tim e Up to August 1. Soy beans may be planted any time from early spring until midsummer. For a grain crop they should be plant, ed early, but for a hay, pasture, green manure or soiling crop they may be planted as late as August 1. The choice o f a variety must be made by the farmer himself. lings Must Have Ample Shade During Hot Weather.
