ZOO VISIT
1 .
Billie Brownie was off a-vislting of
the zoo creatures and the first he saw
were the members of the seal family.
“Well, you are a splendid family,”
he said, “with your diving and swim
ming and performing. How you do
delight people! Everyone stands
around and watches you and everyone
has so good a time looking at the per
formance you are constantly giving.”
“We have a good time, too,” they
said, ns they splashed about.
“Besides,” one of them added, “It
comes quite naturally to us to perform.
We like it.”
“There is one game we enjoy par
ticularly. Our keeper throws the fish
Into our pool and we always catch lt
as lie throws it.”
“We didn’t have to learn that trick.
Oh, no, that came very, very naturally
to us, and we find it a delightful trick,
A most delightful trick!”
“Yes, you do seem to enjoy that
trick,” Billie Brownie chuckled.
“We know when it is time for our
meal, too,” they went on. “Yes, we
are always ready waiting for the fish
pail and the keeper.
“Perhaps it would be more polite
to mention the keeper first, for we
couldn’t have the fish pall, or rather
the fish from the fish pail, without the
keeper, and anyway we’re most ex
tremely fond of our keeper.
“But then you know we aren’t public
speakers and we don’t always say
things as we should. We have other
things to do such as swimming and
splashing.
“The little ones can swim when
they’re six weeks old. I doubt If ba
bies could do ns much.”
"I very much doubt It, too,” roared
Billie Brownie.
Then Billie Brownie paid a visit to
his friends the Zebu and family. They
had always been friends of his in tlielr
quiet way and they had often told him
of the days In India when they had
seen so many curious sights. Those
days were so very different from the
ones they now knew and the people
were so different, too.
Mrs. Zebu, an animal something like
a cow with a hump, gave Billie
Brownie a kiss and her tongue felt
rough on Billie Brownie’s hand, but he
was pleased with the kiss, and he
thanked her and said she had sweet,
‘gentle cow ways.
Then he went to call on the Hima
layan tahr.
"Hello Teddy Tahr,” he said.
And Teddy Tahr, a wild goat from
Indian laughed .and said: -
“Well, Biiile Brownie, so you’ve
come'to see thq"aghin. You .do bay all

sorts of things about me, too, Ive
heard. Of course they’-re all true. .But
I mean I can scurcely waik around
but that you’d think it was an Inter
esting fact.”
“And so I do, Teddy,” said Billie
Brownie. “For a Tahr Isn’t the sort
of a creature one runs. Into every <lajr.
I haven’t lots arid lots of them. I
couldn’t give a party for Tahrs, as it
wouldn’t be a real party with only one
guest.
“But why, Teddy, are you resting
your feet in your feed box ”
“Ah, that Is so my feet are kept
warm In the winter time,” said Teddy.
‘Ton see. It would not be dignified
for a Tahr to have a hot water bottle
for his feet, such as I’ve heard people
have. And yet he doesn’t want cold
“No one exactly enjoys them. So I
find the wooden box is warmer to
stand in or upon or however I should
gay it than the rocks and the ground.
“It Is pretty cold these days, but
rm not a weather grumbler. I don’t
mind it here. In fact, none of us do.
We like it and Be mothers like to
bring the little ones here, too. Tahrs
aren’t so rare.”
“Well maybe I’ve met a few more
besides you,” said Billie Brownie, “but
I don’t know the family intimately,
you know. However, the one Tahr I
know well I like ro much that I arn
delighted to call upon him whenever I
get the chance.’’ And Teddy Tahr
was much pleased at the compliment
Plant Industry
Shows Progress
Fight on Diseases Made by
Selection of Highly Re
sistant Strains.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The year’s work of the bureau of
plant industry described In the report
recently made to the secretary of agri
culture shows much progress in solv
ing the problems of plant production,
the control of diseases, the breeding of
Improved varieties, the introduction of
promising seeds und plants from for
eign countries and the development of
methods for the utilization of perish
able crops, such as fruits and vegeta
bles. Much of the work done is of the
kind which brings its greatest returns
after there lias been time for the com
mercial development of discoveries.
In combating plant diseases a great
deal of progress lias been made
through obtaining highly resistant or
immune strains by trial and selection.
In this way strains of wheat have been
secured which promise to be valuable
in sections where bunt has damaged
this crop. Varieties resistant to flag
smut are being developed, and this dis
ease is no longer considered the men
ace it was thought to be a few years
ago. Attempts are being made to
grow strains resistant to both flag
smut and rosette. In the study of scab,
disease which damages both wheat
ind corn, it has been discovered that
wheat seedlings are more resistant
when grown at comparatively low soil
temperatures and that corn seedlings
are more resistant to It when the soil
Is warm. Barberry eradication was
carried on extensively In co-operation
with a number of states for the control
of black stem rust, and up to the pres
ent time nearly 0,000,000 bushes have
been eradicated. Chemicals are being
used successfully to destroy the bushes
In places where digging Is not practi
cable.
New Crops Developed.
New varieties of oats have been se
cured In co-operation with state ex
periment stations and a number of
them are being distributed. The root
and stalk rots of corn hnve been found
to require special soli management for
their ; control; In some cases proper
fertilization and amendments are all
that Is required, while to control the
parasitic types crop rotation Is needed
In addition. Some new forage crops
are being developed and improved va
rieties of common 'crops have been
developed and' hew mfcthods nre being
tried for handling them. New and rare
field‘seeds are being brought Into the
country, tried out, Increased and dis
tributed to growers.
Lack of space in a brief article puts
a limit on the cjetsll.s , which enn be,
given on the various lines of work car

Valuable results have been 'oblftfnod In
the, treatment 6f ‘'tobacco sick” soils
and means have been found for the
prevention of a condition known as

Various phases of cotton production
have received attention, Including cul
tural methfHls-and Special varieties to
help Jn tbV iron tr*oi, of the boll weevil,,

Extenslv’e work has beefa done with
fruits and nuts, studies have been
made'’of the possibilities of growing
binder twine fiber In Porto Rico, the
Virgin Islands and the Philippines.
The Improvement of citrus fruits Is
now being greatly Increased through
the use of hud selection from trees
with performance records, a bet hod
developed by the department, and
means have been found for the control
of stem-end rot of citrus fruits.
Through work being carried on in the

Most Effective Ration
to Increase Egg Yield
The most effective ration for feed
ing hens and pullets as found at the
Ohio experiment station consists of
mash, ground corn 6 parts, bran 3
parts, meat-scrap 6 parts, by weight.
In addition a scratch ration of shelled
or cracked corn Is fed so that tha
fowls will consume twice as much of
the grain as mash.
Tills ration decreased the cost of
feed per dozen eggs more than 20 per
cent as compared with other rations
and Increased the production per pul
let more than 50 per cent. The tests
were made to determine the amount of
meat-scrap laying rations should con
tain.
Clear Junk and Rubbish.
Winter is the dull season but it can
be made less dreary by clearing the
Junk and rubbish from the yards.

anew Interest In the production of
figs. The fruit and nut Industries are
being helped not only through the In
troduction and development of better
varieties and methods of growing, but
also through studies of handling and
shipping the products. It was shown
that berries produced In the Northwest
can be shipped greater distances suc
cessfully If handled more carefully and
precooled. A series of tests have
shown that nuts of various kinds can
be kept from two to three years if held
at a temperature as low ns .12 degrees.
Plant Diseases Combated.
The principal vegetables reported
on were potatoes, sweet potatoes and
peas. Improvements have been ob
tained through the selection of seed
stocks, the development of improved
varieties and in the control of diseases.
In the field of forest trees work has
been carried on with white pine blister
rust, which Is now spreading In the
Northwest, and in the East with chest
nut blight. The Chinese chestnut has
been found quite resistant to the din
ease. In addition to these two impor
tant trees which are menaced, It Is re
ported that another valuable tree, the
Douglas fir, Is in danger of canker,
which occurs on these trees in Sootlnnd
and which already may be In this
country.
Among the many other problems
given attention In the report are wood
conservation, the effects of length of
day on plant responses, soil bacteriol
ogy, the prevention of alkali injury on
Irrigated lands, sources of crude rub
ber, explorations in mnny parts of the
world for new plants and seeds.
Among the promising new fruits given
special mention are Ilarouni olives,
Fuyu persimmons and several new
avocados. Another new plant Is Men
tha eltrata, of the mint family.
Cloth Coverings Good
Against Mild Frosts
Heat Generated During Day
Is Conducted to Surface.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
'Coverings of rather heavy cloth laid
directly over garden truck or other
low-growing plants are effective In pro
tecting against moderute frosts, the
United States Department of Agricul
ture reports. The heut from the ground
and the plants is thus conserved, und
the losses of heat by radiation from
the plant to the sky are cut off; more
over, the nlr movement Is so slight
neur the ground that there is little
tendency for the cold outside uir to be
forced under or through the covering.
The temperature of the surface of
the cloth exposed to the sky Is lowered
by radiation and may fall to a low

Sow Should Produce Two •
Litters During the Year
The sows should be bred so that they
will farrow in the spring and in the
fall when the weather is not too hot
nor too cold. The early full pigs will
get a start before the weather be
comes hot.
Chicks on Free Range.
Chicks can be raised at a lower cost
if they are on a range sway from the
laying stock. This also prevents the
farm flock from cleaning up the
scrajch feed and the growing mash
needed for the chicks to muke proper
growth.
Neglect Will Cause Culls.
Chicks from the best bred fowls on
eartii will be made culls by neglecting
them and stunting them by poor care.
Feed well, keep the coops clean, at
tend to every detail that will keep the
chicks growing steadily.
