In the season do roots develop near
enough to the surface to be injured

the sugar beet differs from that Of any
OF the other plants studied The veg

tends almost perpendicularly DOWN
ward into the ground. becoming rapid
ly smaller in diameter in the upper
part of its course, the lower part be-
ing quite small and thread-like, and
reaching. in several samples. depth
of over three and one-half feet. From
this central root branches spread out
ward and downward into the soil on
all sides. The upper main branches
are the largest and extend outward
almost horizontally for more than twc
feet. Those deeper down incline more
and more until the last branches run
nearly parallel TO the taproot The
diagram merely represents the ske1e-
ton OF the root system.

beets on the ground not subsoiied
causes an irregular root development:

in a less depth Of root This study
shows that the sugar beet needs deep.

The cheapest food for poultry is not
always the best. In fact on the orii-
nary American farm 1t is seldom the
best We remember one farmer that
purchased = sitting of Bun Cochin
eggs. He put them under hen and in
due time got two chicks from them.
one . male and the other n female
chick. The birds grew rapidly. though
their only feed was corn. In due time
the hen began to lay or tried to lay.
She was 30 fat that the attempt to
pass the first egg killed her. without
doubt II she had been fed on a nitro
genous ration all would have been
we'll. The farmer that had that ex-
periencc did not again try to raise Bun
Cockins, as he believed the death of
the hen was duo to her breed rather
than her feed.
Duck growers arc inclined to be-
iieye that developing a breed of ducks
till the size Is greatly increased de-
stroys to n certain extent the vitality
OF the breed In the way OF producing
hatchabie eggs. They cite as an IL
lustration the Pekin ducks, which
have been bred for size in this coun-
try till they are nearly 50 per cent
heavier than formerly. The fertility
OF the eggs was formerly very great.

Prof. Goff spoke on plum culture for
Wisconsin. In part he said that
peach, pear and ounce culture in the
state had been demonstrated to be
impracticable. The apple. cherry and
European plum have also not been
very successfully grown in Wisconsin,
The Japanese plums have proved not
suficiently hardy for the climate.
With the native plum 1t is different, as
It can be grown successfully in all
parts Of the state. Prominent varie-
ties are wyant. Forest Garden. Quaker.
Ocheeda, Aitken. Cheney. Surprise.
North Star. Hammer. Pollingstone. De
Soto. Piper. Barnshack. Even these
plums can't be grown without taking
care Of the trees throughout their life.
A man should not set out plum tree,
unless he expects to give them Al
much care as he does his potato crop.
All of these plums are attacked by the
curculio. You can't prevent the cur
culio coming and you can't master it.
but you can keep It down as much as
you do potato bugs. 1t has to be look
ed after every day for three weeks.

growing In the United States Is limited
It may be that in the next generation
the price of corn will be As high as is
the price Of wheat now. No plant can

must have good seed corn This is es-
sentially the case in the northern part
Of Wisconsin, where the winters are

to get good seed corn is to take the
best ears and break them in two to
zee that the kernels are long. After .

better than q plant that has not been

on a clover sod. Corn wants a warm

before seed is put into the ground
All that is done afterwards should be
