V and | the "Kiwi". The department has bf?r aware of advertisements concerniii^ the.se new and novel ?'breeds", for i which gome rather remarkable claims J have been made. The advertisements and literature describing th.> origin and qualities of tiiese "bre?'<!.<'' seern to have aroused much In teres: on the part of the public, since the depart ment has recently received several urgent requests for an explanation re garding the reliability of the claims made. The statements In the advertise ments und literature claim that the "Turken" was originally produced by crossing a male turkey with a female chicken, and that the "Kiwi" was pro duced by crossing a male ostrich with a female chicken. Successful crosses have been made between the pheasant and the chicken, and in practically every rase the progeny has been of the male sex and sterile. Also, successful crosses have been made between the ?uin**ji and the chicken and here, again, the sex of the progeny has almost Invariably been male and the hybrids have been sterile. Both of these crosses have been made with great difficulty and, so far as known, no cross giving any progeny has ever been reported between the turkey and the chicken. Furthermore. It highly Improbable that the progeny, if any have ever been secured, Would breed at ally and certainly not readily. In such wide or violent crosses the progeny is always stetlle, and the claim that the "Turken", which Is reported to be the hybrid progeny of a cross between the turkey and the chicken, is in all probability not founded on fact. One other pAint must be made con cerning the so-called "Turken", saj'j the department. The Illustrations ac companying the advertisements and lit erature are in all probability photo graphs of the Transylvania naked neck chickens. According to the best Information obtainable this odd-look ing breed originated In West India and the characteristic naked-neck has bred Irue for many years. It Is a distinct character of the breed. The depart ment believes that the so-called "Tur ken" Is nothing else than the Transyl vania naked neck chicken, which ap parently possesses no qualities superi or to the more Important standjrd breeds and varieties and has not been shown to be particularly well adapted to conditions in many parts of our country. As far as the reported cross giving rise to the "Kiwi" is concerned, there Is much less evidence in support of such a cross than in the case of the Turken". This is too violent a cross to produce any results whatever. The burden of proof that such crosses as those giving rise to the "Turken" and the "Kiwi" must remain with the sponsors of such novel pro ductions. In the meantime, tiie inter ests of the public should be safe guarded. Much Depends Upon Care When Pullets Will Lay At what age sljoultl pullets begin laying? It Is commonly adknowledged that Leghorn pullets on the average will hegin laying at the age of 5 to 5^ months. WyandoUes and Rhode Is land Reds usually start at 0 to 6V4 mouths and Plymouth Rocks around 7 months. Of course there are exceptions where better records are made. ^Much de pends upon the care and attention given during the months of growth and development. If properly fed and housed, they should be In a laying con dition at the age mentioned above.

In connection with a plan for the better feeding of live stock, conducted by various states and the United States Department of Agriculture, the department is now distributing to county agents and extension workers of co-operating states copies of the new feeding problem sheets which is the basis of the work. This sheet, at tractively printed in red and black, has | been designed for the convenience of I live stock feeders who desire expert assistance in feeding problems. It provides for a brief outline of the problem and other information related to it, including what the farmer has already done to solve this problem. There is a space for comments and rec ommendations of the county agent. The information desired is then fur nished by the state agricultural col lege, to which the blank is sent, or, at the option of the state extens'on di rector, by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The state will in most cases answer questions relat ing to conditions in the state, while the department will give information on problems of a more general charac ter or those on which the department is conducting special investigations. The better feeding of live stock service has been developed in response to a popular demand, and It Is be lieved, will not only facilitate corre spondence on feeding questions, but will make possible more explicit re plies bv state and federal experts be cause of the information contained on the feeding problem sheets. With each reply to feeding problems answered by the department there goes a return post card on which a person tflven information is asked to report the results obtained. Replies j received thus far have all indicated either entire success or Improvement. The follow-up system thus leaves nothing to chance and places the fu ture development of the service on a substantia? basis. The department is already analyz ing the various problems submitted and will Issue from time to time state ments on results. Heavy Corn Ration May Cause Death of Lambs There are large numbers of lambs in the cornfields of northern Colorado. Most of these lambs have been on the corn for three or four weeks. They have stripped the plants of leaves and husks and are eating the corn grain 1q some Instances with very little for age available to lighten the ration. Unless the lambs are supplied with plenty of forage and arrangements made so they will consume it, there is danger from now on of heavy death losses, due to a too heavy corn feed. Lambs are being held in the pens and fed alfalfa until noon, then turned on the corn until evening with good success. They are herded in the pens over night and held there until the following noon on hay. Thjs causes them to take on a good fill of alfalfa before going on the corn and so far death losses on these lambs have been neglible. The lambs need alfalfa or other pro tein forage for protection against too much grain and should be wade to take it in sufficient quantities to regu- 1 late the grain they consume. If a pro tein hay is not available and it is necessary to feed them on prairie hay or straw about 1-10 of h pound of lin seed meal or cottonseed meal shoiild make a good substitute. In experiment with lambs in the cornfields salt has been used satisfac torily as a mineral supplement. ? E. J. Marynard, Colorado State Experiment Station. Many Stock Owners Get Better-Sires Diplomas (Prepared kby the United States Department of Agriculture.) > Wide distribution of sign "Pure Bred Sires Exclusively Used 09 This Farm" is now being made by the United States Department of Agriculture in co-operating states in connection with their "Better Sires? Better Stock" ac tivities. Many of the signs are be ing distributed to persons, who al ready have enrolled in the organized plan for live stock improvement through better sires, but requests are also being received from persons who have seen the sign and wish to qualify for it. According to department records, more than 12,000 live stock owners in the country are now known to be using pure bred sires for all classes of live stock kept. These persons have agreed also to follow methods leading to further improvement. Commercial Life of Ewe. The commercial life of a breeding ewe is six to eight years, depending on type of sheep, range, feed, care, etc. The first lamb is dropped when the ewe is about two years of age. Four to six more are gotten before the ani - mal Is discarded. Mules From Native Mares. Mules may be raised from native mares, provided the mares can be worked at the same time. It does not pay, however, to keep the mare solely for the purpose of raising a mule.

It is the hoiue of the 'largest herds of elk, buf falo, antelope and mountain sheep within the United States. Several hundred moose range the park area. There are deer of white tail and mule varieties, many leavers, foxes, badgers, porcupines and lesser animals. Dozens of grizzlies and black bears which entertain the tour ists during the summer, sleep in Yel lowstone's caves during the winter.

Test This Out for Yourself? t' MANY people who drink coffee regularly are troubled with insomnia; or they feel nervous* ?'headachy," or suffer from indigestion. * V It may be hard for such men and women to believe that coffee is responsible for the way they feel. Be cause they have always drunk coffee, it hardly seems possible that this, old habit could cause trouble. But there is one sure way to find out whether cof fee is harming you. Just stop its use for a week or so, and drink Postum. Postum is a pure cereal beverage ? absolutely free from caffeine, the drug in coffee, which disturbs the health and comfort of many. After a week or two on Postum, you will sleep better and feel better; then your own good judgment j should decide whether you go back to coffee or con" tinue on the Road to Wellville with Postum. t i Sold by grocers everywhere I Postum for Health "There's a Reason "!
