HAIL INSURANCE

This year we expect to raise fine
crops, and from the prospects now
our expectations will be realized.
There is, however, one element In this
good state of ours that is sure to sur
prise most any of us and at time
when we have the crop within our
grasp. That element is hail. Many
farmer has gone to bed at night
with his beautiful golden crop wav-

next morning, but along comes one Of
those tearing, driving hail storms that
is so common to this state and cleans
up the whole field and the crop is
harvested, but not with any profit to
the owner. He has lost all his seed,

deeds, it is usually because he knows
so few of them. Just because we
happen to raise good crops one year,
cause for our being content with one
success, but we should keep everlast-
ingly at it and make a record each
year SO that we will make reputa-
ton among our brother farmers that
will cause them to do the. Dragging.
Neither wise men or fools can
work without tools" So runs the old
saying which is just as true today as
when it first gained currency. Mod
ern farming requires modern tools,
such as tanning mills, harrows, plows,
dairy separators, manure spreaders,
ETC., Of modern construction. The up
to-date farmer uses. up-to-date tools,
raises np-tO-date crops and has a
reputation for "doin' things"
Oats for dairy cows are exceedingly
satisfactory. AT the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station Prof Vol compared
ground oats and wheat bran. He
found that oats produced 10 per cent
more milk and butter fat than bran.
Skim milk is an exceedingly valu-
able feed for growing calves. 1t must
always be fed sweet and must be as
warm as the mothers milk, about SO
degrees. Four quarts fed twice a
day is sufficient for the first month.
Add a teaspoonful of oilmeal to each
feed. In addition to the skim milk,
let the calves have oats or shorts and
hay.
The question of how to obtain a
clean, mild favored cheese all the
time is one of the very important
considerations in solving the prob
lem of getting the people to eat more
cheese.
Where the farm separator is used
be particular about running it at even
speed Then as soon as the work is
completed, wash it out thoroughly SO
that fermentation will not set In and
it will be in good condition to receive
the next milking Running warm
water through the separator will as
sist in keeping it in good condition.

ONIONS

AS money maker. one year with
another, the onion is among the lead
ing garden crops. A good supply
should be grown in the farmers gar
den for home use.
Onions require a rich soil not too
sandy, as they must be able to reach
constant moisture. Inasmuch as the
young plants are very tender and re-
quire careful wedding, it Is best to
SOW them on soil free from weed seed,
Jumps and stalks of any kind. Sow
early in rows IA inches apart, COW
ering the seed with about an inch of
fine soil pressed down with garden
rake. Do not allow crust to form
over the rows before the onions come
up.
Sow it so as to avoid very much
thinning of plants which is tedious
job About twenty good seed per foot
will give thick enough stand. If
vacancies occur from poor seed fill
in later.
Land used for onions should be fall
plowed so the ground will be firm in
the SprlnS. VT Delt0E lHdu Spring
plowing, if not fall plowed, is to disc
or harrow the land instead of plow
ing, plank down and SOW the seed.
Crop after crop can be raised on the
same land if it has been kept rich
with well-rotted manure and no in
sect pest has infested the crop. Such
land is usually free from weeds and
is in a good state of tilth. That's
the only reason for successive crop
ping. Cultivate frequently enough to
keep the ground mellow and free
from weeds. Hand wedding will be
necessary.
To get early onions, sets may be
used Anything from the size of
bean to about three-quarters of an
inch in diameter may be planted with
out danger of their going to seed.
Phey form new bulbs in advance of
these grown from seed.
Set three inches deep In fine, rich
soil, about three inches apart in rows
a foot or more apart. Put each bulb
right side up and press soil firmly
about it. Give same care as crop
from onion seed.
