The families to a considerable extent on the weight of fleeces. A century ago the average annual fleece weight for wool In the United States was less than two pounds, but there has been a gradual Increase In the weights of fleeces for American sheep until now the annual average Is about seven and one-hapounds." Possibilities of Increase. There are still possibilities of In creasing the average fleece weight a considerable amount," says D. A. Spencer who Is In charge of the sheep and wool investigational work of the United States Department of Agriculture. The Increase so fur has been brought about, he" says, by the use of g well bred, breeding g rams, the culling of Inferior, ewes, better feeding and Improved methods of sheep management. Further progress can still he mude by these methods, hut they will need to be applied In a more exact und scientific way, he says. The department has Just completed a three-yea- r study of the different factors which influence the weight of fleeces of Rumboulllet sheep under range conditions. It finds that while both length of staple und density of he fleece Influence the weight of dean marketable wool, length of staple Is of considerably more importance than density because of the greater vulue per pound of the longer staple. Leverage for Increase. Also, length of staple offers a much greater leverage for Increasing the fleece weights than selection for density. Fleeces having a staple over 3 inches in length were 22 per cent heavier than the average, while fleeces having u density 95 per cent of perfect yielded only about 2 per cent more than those of average density. The result of these experiments show that breeders can maintain satisfactory density while they are breeding lor greater length of staple In Rumboulllet fleeces. with children who serve them at least once a week will be found to be the freest from diseases of various sorts which are prevalent.

Guinea Fowl Is Useful as Substitute for Game Guinea fowl are growing In favor substitute for game birds, with the result that guinea raising Is becoming more profitable. Guinea fowl nre raised, usually, In small flocks on general farms, nnd need a large range for best results. Domesticated guinea fowl are of three varieties, pearl, white, and lavender. The pearl is by far the most popular. Guinea fowl have a tendency to mate in pairs, but one male may he mated successfully, with three or four females. The hens begin to lay, usually, In April or May, and will lay 20 to 30 eggs before becoming broody. If not allowed to sit they will continue to lay throughout the summer, laying from 40 to 00 or more eggs. Eggs may be removed from tbe nest when tbe guinea lien Is not sitting, but two or more eggs should be left in the nest. Ordinary hens are used commonly to hatch and rear guinea chicks, but guinea hens and turkey hens nre used successfully, although they are more difficult to manage. Guineas are marketed late in the summer, when they weigh from 1 to 1 pounds, at about 2 months old, and also through the fall, when the demand is for heavier birds. should be made artistic, sanitary and livable.

They have become so accustomed to planting common seed on any kind of ground that happens to he available that the idea of growing smooth, finely flavored potatoes seems too absurd to give consideration. Excessively heavy soils bear large crops of soggy, flavorless potatoes. The light sandy or gravelly soils produce smaller crops of delicately flavored, floury potatoes. It Is only the nmn who plants good seed and gives his potato rows ideal care and cultivation who appreciates the superior flavor of quality potatoes. Most of the common diseases may he avoided by selecting seed and soak-lu- g It for two hours In a solution composed of one pint of liquid formaldehyde and 15 gallons of water. For leaf blights spray the plants Kvlth bordeaux mixture. By putting an ounce of paris green In every ten gallons of bordeaux mixture you get a combined Insecticide and fungicide which will kill the familiar potato bug as well as help to control the blight.

They look like guinea pigs, you know, but they are called dogs because they have funny little barking voices which sound very much like laughter. And their tails are very quaint and funny and look Just as though they were laughing at some extremely good joke. In fact, prairie dogs look as though they saw Jokes backwards and forwards. Its going to rain, said Papa Prairie Dog, a little later. So It did ! It rained quite hard and the dirt became muddy. But every prairie dog set to work, digigng with their front feet Into the soft earth, punching the mud with their noses and fixing up their homes. They all looked as though they had had mud baths right up to their ears. They always work on rainy days, because the ground Is soft then. They do this out of the zoo and In the zoo in fact their lives are about the same In captivity and freedom. And though they are always so cheerful and merry, still they never become pets.
