I SING 1NEAS Rhizoctonia fungus attacks so of this article. The sugar beet seed may carry disease, but no method of treatment is practical. The disease may come from a soil source. The utilization of poorly drained soil, the lack of prompt and frequent cultiva- tions may favor the fungus enemies.

Guinea -fowls usually sell in pairs, like squabs, bringing from $1.50 at ten weeks to twice that in early fall when a pair weighs about four pounds. Since -wild game is no longer pro- curable in any great quantity, Guin- eas, the nearest substitute, are 'be- coming more popular. They are very active, feed largely on insects, and the flesh is dark and savory like that of the grouse and other game birds. Of the three varieties of Guinea, the color is the only distinguishing mark. The pearl is by‘far the most common variety, though there are to be found throughout the country inany fowls of the white variety, and a few of the lavender, which closely resembles the pearl. Guineas are nervous, noisy crea- tures and require plenty of room where there are trees and brush. However, they can, though at less profit, be reared in pens and coops like other poultry. In the wild state they mate in pairs, but under dot, mestic conditions it is necessary to keep only one male for four females. Guineas are prolific layers through the late spring and summer, and be- gin to lay as early as April The can not, however, compete with the ordi- nary hen in egg production. They usually hollow out a place in the ground for their nest which they make every effort to conceal. - They fre- quently lay twenty or thirty egg 9 Le fore becoming broody. If the eggs are removed from the nest, they will continue to lay until late in the sea- son. As many as three or four nest - eggs should be left at all times; but the practice of Taking the eggs out or removing them •with a spoon in order to keep the hand from leaving any scent is a useless waste of line. To prevent Guineas from Inaing their nests, they should be kept, dere ing the forenoon, in an enclo-nre where nests are provided for t'sm. A bottomless box set nn the tare ground makes an ideal nest for a Guinea-hen. „. Guinea -hens do not sit well, nor do they make as good mothers as ordinary hens. A. Guinea will cover fourteen of her own eggs, while an ordinary hen will cover eighteen, for the average size of Guinea eggs is considerably less than that of hen eggs. Incubators, however, have been used successfully. The period of in- cubation is twenty-eight days, just as in the case of turkey or duck eggs. Like a turkey -hen a Guinea is apt to drag her young one around through ealn and dew. Moreover, she will never hunt, shelter at night, but will roost on the ground wherever she happens to be when night comes. For these reasons it will be much bet- ter to put the young Guineas in charge of a Chicken hen. A hen that is inclined to range afield, like the Leghorn hens, will make the best mother for young Guineas. A coon should be placed in a field oe wood - lot at a distance from the house, aed the hen made to stay there at night until the young Guineas are old enough to roost in trees or, on a perslis, This they will do when they are see weeks old. Oatmeal is the best feed ter ioung Guineas. After they ere ten days old they will thrive on hafir-corn, cnornf d wheat or corn, millet and the like. They are great foragers, roaming tl egl the fields I,' se. Tit of bugs lre 1 ... and worms.
