A recent bulletin Of the Missouri
experiment station discusses the
Winter protection of the peach. One
of the most promising methods of
preventing the buds from swelling,
rendering them liab'e to destruction
from cold weather, is whitewashing
1t was found that the whitened buds
remained practically dormant I'M
til April, while unprotected buds
swelled perceptibly during warm
days late in February and early in
March. Eighty per cent of the
whitened buds passed through the
Winter safely, while only twenty
per cent OF the unwhitened buds
escaped Winter killing. Whitened
buds blossomed three to six days
later than unwhitened ones. Their
mometers covered with material

tered, during bright sammy weather,
from ten to twenty degrees higher
than thermometers covered with
W hite material of similar texture,
thus indicating that whitened peach
twigs might be expected to absorb
much less heat than those that
were not whitened.
The whitewash used was four
parts of water, one part of skinned
milk and enough freshly Stacked
lime to make as thick wash as
could conveniently be pumped
through Bordeaux spray nozzle
without clogging. This wash was
sprayed on the trees by means of
bucket spray pump. The first
application was made the last of
December, and three subsequent
sprayings were necessary to keep
the trees thoroughly coated until
Spring. The cost for material and
labor is about ten cents per tree,
when done on a small scale.

Beets and Wheat.

There are statements and rumors
from all parts of the country fore
shadowing the erection of large
number of plants for the manufact-
ure of beet sugar. If half of these
reports shall materialize into the
actual construction of beet sugar
factories, it means the outlay of an
enormous amount of capital and
the diversion of large area of land
from its present crop production to
the growth of sugar beets. For ex-
ample, it is said that factory cost
ing 100000 is to be built at Chilli
Gothic, Ohio. Such factory would
require the product OF 5000 acres of
land to keep it employed. In near
ly all of the wheat-growing States
we hear of beet sugar factories pro-
jected upon even larger scale. At
the rate of 5000 acres of beets for

ness l was born in Scotland in 1929, and

the position Of chief engineer on those big
passenger palaces. Thousands of lives are

the long nervous strain caused by watching
and worrying about the machinery. For
three long years was unable to move from
my bed without assistance. The doctor said
I had locomotor ataxia, and would never be
able to walk again.

during those years are almost understandable.

Early Maturity.

One of the principal advantages
with stock that make quick growth
and mature early is that the younger
the stock the less the per cent of
feed it requires in proportion to
weight to secure additional gain.

FOR THE FARMER,
Among the Poultry.

The best layers are usually the
worst sitters.
One of the best foods for change
is sprouted grains.
Everything given to the fowls
should be eaten up clean.
The best layers are those that
are active and forage well.
Sand is not good substitute for
gravel in the poultry yard.
The nest is the Matching place for
lice as we'll as for chickens.
The fowls are healthier when they
have to scratch for their food.
Everything in the poultry quar-
tiers should be as dry as chip.
Much fat-producing food is not
best for laying or growing fowls.
Poultry for market should be
rapidly grown, fattened and sold.
Give the hens all of the butter
milk and skim milk they will drink.
Supply the laying hens with
bones, oyster shells and vegetables.
Too much wet or sloppy food
given young fowls often induces
scours.
The value of a breed depends
largely upon what you want to do
with it.
Keep variety of poultry. Geese
and ducks pay fully as well as
chickens.
You cannot make a hen sit, but
you can start up the incubator at
any time.
Unless hens lay we'll in Winter
they will prove rather expensive to
keep over.
Keeping the nests dark will some
times keep the hens from eating
their eggs.
Both Plymouth Rocks and Wyan-
dottes are good layers and excellent
table fowls.
The eggs of hen will hatch for
10 days after she is separated from
the roosters.
The nests should be large enough
to allow the fowls plenty Off to
turn around.
Useless roosters are like hens that
lay no eggs; they pay nothing for
what they eat.
Never breed Unfortunately
from several males running in
common flock.
Oats may be fed to advantage for
a change, but are not SO good as
wheat for hens.
Poultry fatten faster on cooked
than on raw food because it is more
easily digested.
A thrifty cockerel mated to large
hens will usually give large and
vigorous chickens.
To run any branch of the poultry
business on large scale is hazard
Gus unless aided by experience.
In raising early broilers they
must be forced in order to get the
desired size as quickly as possible.
In raising fowls for meat instead
of eggs you want the large breeds,
especially those that mature early.
Improvement in breeds and meth
DDS of management has helped to
make poultry keeping more profit
able.
During the Winter especially
fowls are very fond Of raw vegeta-
bles, as beets, carrots, turnips and
such.
The profit with poultry depends
upon economizing food and using
that growing on the farm. When
feed must be purchased close figur-
ing is necessary to avoid loss.
