No spec Jal( attention has been paid thus far to making tho series complete with lespect to tho various breeds or types of livo stock. They nro simply illus trations of fine representative types of nnlmnls, of which there should be more in nil parts of the United States.

As a result of eight years' feeding tests at tho United States Department of Agriculture poultry yards at Bolts vlllo, Md. a mash feed has been com pounded which gives uniform high ogg production. This mash, which 1ms been tested for three years, is made ot 4 per cent bran, 3 per cent mid dlings, 2G per cent meat scrap, and 06 per lent corn meal. In the oxporl Mm imna worn allowed to select their own mash ingredients. This Is tho proportion of thoso different feeds which they ato during tho year. Scv nveraged from 140 to 155 eggs apleco horns and of Ithodo Island Reds, have avoraged from 140 to 155 eggs apjleco while this mash was fed. Whllo tho mash seems to bo especially adapted for Leghorns, It hns given very good results with Reds. Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks wore found to get ! too fat on the ration and a ration i somowhat lower in meat scrap nas given better results with thoso breeds. Both tho Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks at Beltsvllle aro largo standard sized fowls. The tendency to become ovorfat In a smaller typo of Plym outh Rocks, such as is often found on commercial poultry farms. How do potatoes grow? Why do some vines produce many tubers and others only a few? Do big pieces produce hotter po tatoes than small pieces? When does the tubor begin to form? ' When does moisture have tho moat effect on tho production of potatoes? What is tho relation of soil to potato nroductlon? These aro a few among many ques tions which have been asked about the growth and yield of ono of Amor- lea's largest and most distinctive crops, and which former obsorvcrs havo been ablo to answer only In completely. Tho Buroau of Plant In dustry, United States Department of Agriculture hns conducted a series of oxporlmcnts in potato growth, tho ro suits ot which aro publlshod in De partment Bullotin 058, Development ot Tubers lri tho Potato, which has Just been Issued. Tho Information contain ed is of intorcst not only to tho plnnt physiologist but also to tho practical grower, as a knowledgo of tho relation of tho Betting and subsequent devel opment ot tubers of tho potato may, to a certain extent, ho put to prac tical use. Tubor formation, It was found, bo begins in gonoral at about tho end of tho porlod of flower bud dovelopmcnt, although this Is not In all cases an oxact crltorlon. Experiments showed that tho number as well ast ho slzo of potatoes In a hill increased for sev eral weeks after tho first potatoes were largo enough to dig. A small Incrcasj in tho weight of tubers wns found to occur oven after tho vines had been killed bv frost. Tho maxi mum rate o' growth of tho tubors was found to rccui about, tho last of -VJg- hfI or th. flrt of f eptcmbor, wr.'.ch ws app'-o' I'm'tc'..' SO days lift or planting. .. An Interesting development of tho experiments was that tho number and wolght of tubors por hill wero found to be Influenced by the size and kind of seed planted. Whole potatoes used as seed yollded heavier than halC potatoes and these more than quart ers, and tho larger the seed pleco. th. greater tho yclld per hill. A. whole potatoo used as soed yiolded more than a half or quarter potato of equal weight. Tho experiments showed that appar ently light soils are bettor for potat oes than heavy Bolls. The lowest pro duction ot tubors with respect to both number and weight per hill was oh the heaviest soil; the hlghtest num bers and yields wore produced on the lightest soil. Tho department thinks it pos'Blblo however that these results might bo modified some what under different climatic conditions. IS YOUR MONEY SAFELY INVESTED?

"The milk substitutes nrp nn inferior Droduct. How many people in the crowded quarters of the cities understand the finer points of the label." Dr. McCullom denounced the use of cocoanut oil as a substitute for ,butterfat, saying the dairy cow can not comoete with the cocoanut cow. He claimed that the health of children will be seriously endan' gered by the substitutes whose 'manufacture has reached tremen dous proportions.
