After snow has disappeared in the early spring an investigation among the leaves near a fence or in a thicket will often disclose the little bird known as the towhee, chewink, or ground robin, scratching for his dinner like a hen. This dinner will consist of beetles and larvae of insects harmful to crops, which have been spending the winter under old leaves. The good which the towhee does in this way can hardly be overestimated, since the death of a single insect at this time, before it has had an opportunity to deposit its eggs, is equivalent to the destruction of a host later in the year. The towhee has also been credited with visiting potato fields and feeding upon the potato beetle. Its vegetable food consists of seeds and small wild fruits, but no complaint on this score is known to have been made. So far as observation goes, the bird never touches either cultivated fruit or grain; in fact, it is too shy and retiring even to stay about gardens for any length of time. The. towhee breeds from the middle states northward and winters In the southern half of the country. Naturally associated with catbird and brown thrasher, It lives in much the same places, though It Is more given to haunting hedgerows along roads and fences. "Some Common Birds Useful to the Farmer" is the title of Farmers' Bulletin No. 630 of the United States department of agriculture, which describes other useful birds. The pamphlet may be had by applying to the department Management of the Sow During Pregnancy. The breeding season for spring litters has just passed and the time for the sow to give birth to her young is at hand. During pregnancy two facts must be borne in mind. The first is that the sow is doing double duty. Not only is she keeping up her own bodily functions, but the development of the litter Is an increasing drain on her system. Feeding at this time should be liberal, although it need not be so heavy as after the pigs are farrowed. The sow's condition should be "good" neither too fat nor too lean. A very fat sow is apt to be clumsy with her pigs, and some times her pigs are lacking in vitality. The very thin sow will either not do justice to her pigs, or will become a mere wreck herself during the time she is nursing her litter and the chances are that both these things will happen. The necessity of exercise must not under any circumstances be overlooked. This may be provided by a large lot or even driving the hogs slowly for a short distance each day. In the second place, the main demands upon the sow are those for the building of new tissue. Therefore, the kind of feed is important. The nitrogenous or protein bearing feeds are needed at this time. These are bran, oil meal, peas, beans, oats and barley. The clovers, alfalfa, peas, beans, vetches etc., are also of much value to the brood sow. Special emphasis should be laid on the condition of the bowels during pregnancy and particularly at farrowing, the special danger to be avoided being constipation. The grain ration should be given as slop and toward the close of the period of gestation, oil meal, or a small amount of flax meal should be Introduced into the ration. Corn should not be fed in large amounts to breeding stock, because it does not furnish enough bone-andmuscle-forming constituents to properly develop the unborn pigs. If possible, corn should not be fed at all to any but fattening animals. Hog Craves Green Feed. During the winter more care will be needed to keep the sow in good condition on account of the absence of pasture. Not only does the hog's system crave green feed, but more or less bulk is demanded. To offset the lack of green feed, nothing surpasses roots. These may be sliced or pulped and. mixed with the grain or may be given whole as a noon reed, uare must oe used In feeding roots, as they are laxative in effect, and if fed in excessive amounts, may bring about profuse action of the bowels. Some eastern farmers recommend the use of silage, clover, alfalfa, hay, sheaf oats or corn fodder to supply the bulky requirement of the ration. Charcoal, ashes, lime, and salt should be accessible at all times. These act as a vermifuge and preventive of disease and meet the hog's craving for mineral matter in the feed. During the entire period care should be taken to keep the system well toned. The sow should benr r.ecestomed to being handled and LES IN EARLY SPBIN6 [ ' nt Black; the Under White and the 8idea :?tnut should look upon her attendant as a friend. The brood sows may run together up to within two weeks of farrowing time; then it is well to separate them, placing each sow by herself in a yard with a small house, which should b& Hrv o \ nw on/9 nleon A m?oo t Hool nf w* J , an j, aiiu ucau. a 51 caw u??i v* exercise will not now be necessary. The feed should be reduced somewhat and if there is any tendency to constipation, a slight change of feed may be necessary. The farrowing pen should be proTided with fenders around at leaat three sides about six to eight inches from the floor and six to eight inches from the wall. These should be strong nough to support the weight of the sow should she lie on them. They are constructed to protect the pigs from being lain upon during the first few days of their lives. This will go far to prevent a very fruitful cause of loss among young pigs for the little fellows will soon learn to creep under these fenders when the sow lies down. COMFORT FOR YOUNG CHICKS Essential Requirements Are Normal Heat, Clean Quarters, Fresh Air and Proper Exercise. The care of the young chick, from the'time it is hatched until it ia sold, is bound up in the one word "com* fort." The normal amount of heat, clean quarters, good, fresh air with plenty of room and exercise?these are the essential requirements, and they must be supplied. Good br ding has more to do with healthy t ticks and normal growth than good incuba* tion. Many persons can hatch large numbers of chicks, but comparatively few can raise them successfully. The experienced breeder begins long before the hatching season to prepare for ths management of his growing stock, by the careful selection of breeders. Labor and feed will avail little or nothing if the chicks do not inherit a strong, ^vigorous constitution. This quality is entirely dependent upon the age and condition of the breeding stock. Discouragement and failure are sure to follow where immature pullets, diseased hens, or hens of low vitality are used as breeders. Only strong, vigorous hens which have passed their first year as layers should go into the breeding pens. The eggs from such hens which havo been mated to large, healthy cockerels, should be gathered carefully and kept in a temperature of not more than 60 degrees, and 50 will not do any barm. The sooner the eggs are Incubated after being laid the better. ) CLOVER UPON WINTER WHEAT Practice Found to Have Number of Advantage*?Firm, Compact Seed Bed le Required. (By R. Q. WEATHER3T0NB.) Man/ farmers make a practice of sowing their clover seed upon the winter wheat early in the spring, depending upon the alternate freezing and thawing of the ground to work the seed down into the crevices. I have made it a practice to sow my clover seed on winter wheat in the spring for a number of years and find that it has a number of advantages. Grass and clover seed require a firm, compact seed bed. In my own practice I prefer to delay the sowing of the clover seed until the ground is dry enough to harrow and apply the seed with a wheelbarrow seeder and give the wheat a harrowing with a light smoothing harrow with the teeth set well aslant This * overs the clover seeds and proves very beneficial to the wheat crop, especially during the dry seasons. Either method is preferable to sowing) seed with spring grain crops. SEED AN IMPORTANT MATTER Article of Highest Quality Means Several Dollars More to the Acre In Net Returns. (By LE ROT CADY, Associate Horticulturist. Minnesota Experiment 8tatlon.) Good seed is an important matter with the gardener as well as the farmer. It never pays to bay cheap seed. Experiments were carried on a year or two ago by the Pennsylvania experiment station with some ten or more strains of cabbage seed of the same varieties from different firms. They found variations of yield from 5 to 10 or 15 tons an sere, according > to the strain of seed. uao/1 r\f rhn Vi i erVv nor mto lOir X JV,VU VI Ul^UVUk 4V??UV/ meant several dollars more to tljp acre in net returns, even if it did cost * frw cents inc*e a pound. i
