If necessary, reduce the rate of seeding or the acreage, or both. By a little better seed bed preparation, the standard rate of seeding for both alfalfa and clover may be reduced as much as 10, 15, or even 20 per cent Where clover is seeded on winter wheat, less seed and a light harrowing immediately after seeding may bring as thick a stand as a normal amount of seed. If a mixed seeding is to be made, get the different seeds and mix them at home. Make certain that seed is adapted to local conditions for the hardiest is none too good for New Yorks climate. All red clover seed should be northern-grown and either certified or of guaranteed origin. Buy either Grimm, Ontario variegated, or other variegated types of alfalfa and demand either certified seed or a satisfactory guarantee of the source of the seed. Simple Treatments to Get Rid of Lice. (By O. C. TJFFORD, Extension Poult ryman, Colorado Agricultural College.--WN- U Service.) Many Colorado farmers and poultry-me- n save money and cut costs of production simply by preventing their poultry and poultry houses from becoming Infested with lice and mites. lice and mite infestations affect the health, growth and production of poultry. These pests can be easily controlled by proper action. Lice, which live on the birds and are known as biting parasites, may be controlled by smearing a small amount of blue ointment mixed with an equal amount of petroleum Jelly, lard or vaseline, around the vent. This treatment should never be used on small chicks. Dusting powders such as sodium fluoride may be placed In the feathers on different parts of the body to control lice. When large flocks are to be treated for lice, nicotine sulphate may be applied with a brush or oil can to perches before the birds go to roost. Fumes from the nicotine destroy the parasites. This fluid will also kill mites if they come into contact with it. Badly infested flocks should be treated a second time in about ten days. Mites live around perches and roosting places, gradually spreading over poultry houses and farm buildings when not controlled. Stock dips, formaldehyde or carbolic acid are some of the common materials used for spraying roosts and houses. An effective home remedy can be made by using one gallon of crude crank case oil, pint of stock dip or crude carbolic acid, and, If necessary, this may be thinned with one to two quarts of kerosene. The easiest time to control mites and lice is in the before they become too spring, one-ha- Work Horse Needs and Deserves Proper Care Correct fitting and proper adjustment of harness is a big step in the elimination of sore shoulders on horses, says the Nebraska College of Agriculture. Cleaning the horses shoulders following the days work and again before harnessing in the morning will help prevent sore shoulders. A properly fitted collar barely allows the flat hand to pass between the collar and the windpipe and permits the finger tips to pass at the side of the neck just above the shoulder points. The hames should fit snugly and be drawn tightly around the collar so that the point of draft d will be about of the distance above the shoulder points. The average farm work horse consumes about 3,000 pounds of grain and 5,000 pounds of roughage yearly. When the horse is doing hard work, the average animal will need approximately 25 bushels of coCn or 40 bushels of oats and about a ton of rough-agHard grains such as wheat, barley, rye, kafir and other small grains may be improved by grinding or rolling.

Flock Will Respond to Well-Balanc- ed Ration Eggs from chickens fed a ration full of vitamins A and D are better food than eggs from chickens fed rations less rich in these vitamins, according to the results of recent research available to the department of poultry husbandry at the Ohio State university. Recent experiments indicate, says the department, that the amount of vitamin A and D supplied to the birds is directly reflected in the vitamin content of the eggs produced. Thus, in feeding his hens to maintain their health, the poultryman is feeding for eggs of better quality and more worth. A ration for hens rich in vitamins would contain yellow corn, alfalfa leaf meal, or a high grade cod liver oil. Vitamin D prevents rickets and assists with the building of bone. Vitamin A builds resistance to disease and Infections. Early and Late Chicks Chicks hatched early have many ad vantages over those hatched late. As a general rule they are more vigorous ; the mortality is less; the cockerels may be sold for better prices, and the pullets will mature in time to lay eggs next fall. Just why the early chick is more vigorous is hard to explain. That less mortality is experienced is probably due to the fact that coccidia and parasites, Buch as worms and mites, are less active before the onset of hot weather. It is true that more trouble from these pests Is experienced later high-price- Dosing Wormy Lambs One of the lambs worst enemies Is the common stomach worm. The animal does not thrive satisfactorily when carrying this parasite, and consequently the farmer loses money. One way to avoid these worms Is to change pasture so there will be little danger of the lambs picking" up worm eggs deposited on the grass last year by other sheep. Sheep can be treated for worms with a vermifuge. Some farmers dose each animal with one to four ounces of a 1 per cent copper sulphate solution. This solution is made by dish solving pound of copper sulin three gallons of water. Ewes phate receive from two to four ounces, depending on their size, while lambs get one to two ounces. Dose with an ordi- nary syringe or with the aid of a funnel or small rubber tube. Care should be taken not to lift the sheeps head up, since this may cause strangulation. Wallaces Farmer.

New Hive Queens Vigorous baby chicks have full bright eyes, downy fluff, are plump and have well rounded shanks. Other points to look for in selecting chicks include the following: Freedom from bacillary white diarrhea, weight of eight pounds per 100 chicks at 24 hours of age, well healed body openings at which yolk was absorbed and richly pigmented shanks and beaks. Chicks from healthy breeding flocks and from birds high in egg production are always preferable. --Nebraska Farmer.

Mary Ancient Family Claims Scoffed At by Experts Persons who like to trace their ancestry back to William the Conqueror, or to some other famous hero of history, were ridiculed in a recent address before the Society of Genealogists In London by the British genealogical expert, T. R. Thomson. The majority of such claims rest, Mr. Thomson explained, upon, similarity of surnames, but this is of no value at all, since the general use of surnames or family names dates back only a little more than 200 years. Another difficulty is the fact established by all genealogical researches that families and family names invariably tend to become extinct in a relatively few generations. The family blood may survive, more or less diluted by intermarriage, but this usually is extremely difficult to trace, since the necessary exact records are lacking.

ROSSITER, Mgr. one-fourt- d Select Vigorous Chicks Recently we called, says Harry Carr, in the Los Angeles Times, on Captain Davis on Mullet island in the Salton sea. He has an amazing little empire. Mud geysers spout steam high into the air. Wild goats climb over the rocky hills of his estate. The pools beneath his mud geysers are drug stores. The Salton sea is a vast lake of medicated waters. By executive order, Salton sea has been made a refuge where fishing is not permitted. The waters have been stocked with bass. Captain Davis says that the pelicans got all the bass the first day. On the other hand, the pelicans have stocked the sea with mullet, a strange, greasy, unpalatable fish. Davis says that the mullets hibernate in mud and were brought in by pelicans incased in mud pellets. He has a little museum; among the relics is a small Bible whose flyleaf states it was presented in 1857 by the countess of Suffolk to Stur-ge- s Tomlinson; It was found by the side of a bleached skeleton and the weather-beateremnants of a wagon near Mullet island. Another relic recalls a tragedy. A man named Donaldson was traveling in a covered wagon across the desert and his water gave out. Leaving his two daughters, he struggled on to find a water hole. When he came back they had shot themselves. He went in to Yuma ; told his story and killed himself.
