Feeding Value Of Straw.

In ordinary farm practice in Utah
the straw is considered Of very little
value. In many instances, instead Of
an economical use being made Of it,
whole stacks are burned, and instead of
the plant food contained in the straw
being returned to and thus enriching
the soil it is wasted. Feeding trials ut the
state station, however, have proved con-
olusively that straw can be used advan-
tageously for feeding in connection with
our most common forage crop, luCern.
The old assumption that the crude
fiber Of straw is indigestible and that
its digestibility as a whole is far less
than that Of other coarse folders has
been shown to be erroneous. Expert
ments made on the digestibility Of straw
show that two-fifths Of the total nu.
trients, including the crude fiber, are di-
gestible, at least by ruminants, thus
making it very little below other coarse
folders as regards digestibility. Straw
is rich in crude fiber and poor in pro-
tein; hence it is not suited alone to
form ration, but very desirable when
fed with fodder rich in protein, as
lucern. It's value varies considerably,
according to the kind, the manner of
sowing, the soil and the time Of sowing.
Armsby says that oat straw stands first,
barley next and wheat last in feeding
value.

moving the lawn.

The number Of times the lawn should
be cut will depend very much upon the
character Of the season or the amount
Of irrigation. Ordinarily, in parks at
least, the lawn is mown every week or
ten days, although in some sections
where the soil Is good and there is a
continuous growth Of grass the lawn
mower is kept constantly going Ac-
cording to the agrostologist of the de-
partment Of agriculture, the oftener the
lawn is mown and the more frequently
it is rolled the better and finer the turf.
The grass should not be allowed to at
tain such a growth that when cut there
will be any decided change in color.
The lawn should be kept close cut, and
this can only be done by frequent NOW.
ings During the dry summer months
it is best not to cut so close as in the
spring or fall. This applies to parks and
lawns Of large extent Too close cutting
in midsummer is apt to expose the roots
to the burning influence Of the summer
SUP, Moving should begin as soon as
growth starts in the spring and ought
to be discontinued in the regions where
the winters are severe by the 1st of Sep
tember or October.

GleAnIngs Here and There.

An Iowa Homestead writer says he
has noticed recently that many hay
leaders have gone out Of use. The own
ers used them for few years and then
abandoned them. He thinks it is diff
cult to make the best quality Of hay
when using the loader.
The whe9t crop Of Nebraska is re-
ported one of the heaviest in the his
tory Of the state. Indications are that
it will exceed $50, 900, 900 bushels The
grain is sound and in every way excel
lent. Corn prospects are also fine.
Farm News says that Kaffir corn has
been making steady progress in Kansas
and other parts Of the west for several
years 1t possesses the advantage that it
may be planted very late and yield a
full crop before frost in the fall. 1t also
endures the dry weather of August and
September, and in this respect is su-
perior to corn.

PLUM AND CHERRY ROT.
Bordeaux and Copper sulphAte Used EK-
Oept on Japanese Varieties OF Plum.

Bordeaux and Copper SulphAte Used EK-
Oept on Japanese Varieties Of Plum.
There is complaint each year about
cherries and plums rotting on the trees.
A writer in New England Homestead,
who has had great loss with cherries
rotting, nevertheless does not fear the
rot nearly so much as the black aphis,
which he has found unmanageable and
the cause of the death of more cherry
trees than all other causes put together.
His course with cherries and plums has
been as follows:
Ny treatment for cherries is to spray
with sulphate Of copper pound to 25
gallons Of water once just before the
buds open and once with bordeaux when
the cherries are one-third or one-half
grown, then pick the cherries a day or
two before they are fully ripe. If the
weather is not persistently bad, this
will be successful, at least it has been
with me for several years
AS to plums, have never sprayed
the Japanese varieties except in a small
way as a test, but have depended on
picking off the decayed fruit by hand.
They might be sprayed with bordeaux
Or sulphate Of copper mixture while
dormant, which would kill spores Of rot
then existing ON the bark, but / have
found the foliage Of the japanese varie-
ties uniformly too sensitive to admit Of
spraying with bordeaux while in leaf.
The European varieties, however, seem
to like the bordeaux. They should be
sprayed at least twice with it, the first
time when the new growth is three to
five inches long and the second when
the fruit is half grown. Applied at this
time it will not show when fruit is
ripe,
Spraying in winter or early spring
with sulphate Of copper is also desira-
BILE. All the spraying should be done
thoroughly from both Sides In my cher
ry trees have a man climb the tree
carrying the nozzle with him. Even
after spraying the plums will need to
be followed and hand picked, burying
or burning to stop those spores. 1t may
seem Of no use to fuss 80 much, but is
of use just the same, and this same spray
on the plums will kill of spores of shot
hole fungus and black knot.

ing specimen as in the enlarged picture.
If the bee is filled with honey, the bands
all show more plainly, and if the bee is
crawling up pane Of glass in the win
dow it looks somewhat transparent
where the yellow bands are. If very
empty, as in the case Of dead bee,
you may not notice the yellow bands
These bands are not uniform in ap-
pearance. The front part of each Of the
three bands, as at A, B and O, is dig
tinot yellow, the other part, as at J K,
less so, because this part is covered with
a kind of hair or feathers. These hairs
or feathers are sometimes rubbed off, as
in the case of robbers or diseased bees,
and then all the bands of the black bee
and the black bands Of an Italian bee
will be a shining black.
By selection in breeding bees have
been produced that have more than
three bands. Five banded bees are quite
common in America, for this increase
Of yellow bands has been made in this
country, and some bees have the abdo-
men yellow to the very tip.

Changes In Dakota.

A Rural New Yorker reader in North
Dakota says that IL years ago, the bun
die carrier on the grain binder was in
troduced in that section. 1t has since
come into general use, and dispenses
with the work of one man to each har-
vester, as it takes two men to shock aft
er one binder, if no carrier is used. This
man says that, one year with another,
he has best success in hauling the wheat
right from the machine to the elevator,
and selling at once. He says that he has
put rs cent wheat in farm granary.
and after holding two years, sold for 80
cents. He believes that harvesting in
his part Of Dakota will in few years
undergo decided change. He thinks
the Russian thistle and the hot, dry
winds will drive farmers to stock rails
ing and woolgrowing. The golden
northwest will be less section of gold
en- grain ana more the home Of golden
butter and yellow cheese.
