SHORT ANSWERS.

FERTILIZING GARDENS. E. g.,
Mountain Grove, Mo-: If you fertilize
the garden plat this year do not apply
too much coarse unrOtted manure. Too
much coarse matter in the soil binders
it from retaining moisture during the
dry weather. Nearly every garden
crop requires the manure we'll rOtted,
and it is generally safe to apply only
such to the plat.
CAULIFLOWER CULTURE.-K. c..
D., NATION, ILL.,: In starting to grow
caulifOwer the ground should be well
cOmpacted 1t does best on fall plOW-
ing. The roots run very close to the
surface, and the plant will suffer for
moisture if the ground is so porous
that it will dry out during the dry
weather. The surface should be kept
quite mellow, but the layer just be-
low the roots should be reasonably
compacted.
DAIRY RATION.-A. D. S., Peters
burg, Va: IN selecting a ration, di-
gestibiIity and palatability should be
considered. A good COW needs about
two and a half pounds Of protein
day while in full milk flow. Bulk is
needed in ration, but to furnish bulk
without keeping digestibility in mind
is to make a serious mistake. Some
COWS are as liable to dyspepsia as peo-
pie and should therefore be fed ac-
cording to what they can assimilate
best
PREPARING GROUND.-L. n NJ,
Des Moines, Ia: The right time to pre-
pare the ground for any crop IS when
you can do the job right. The day of
the month. the sign of the zodiac or
the quarter of the moon should never
be observed when the ground is not in
the right condition to work.
SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL
B. W., Clay Center, Neb.: Do not get
80 scientific that you Ha-ill overlook the
practical. There are some good old
practical methods which should never
be lost sight of in this age, when the
tendency is toward the scientific. Sci
ence had an important place in agri-
culture, but it can never take the
place of the practical. In fact, a sci
entific theory is worthless if it is not
practical
GAPES.-A NJ. L., Griswold, Ia:
AnglewOrms are said to cause gapes in
young chicks.

Answer.-The writer does not like to
advise any one to sow Johnson grass.
1t is so much like a weed pest that we
have always been very slow to recon-
mend it to the farmers. When you
once get a start of it you may have a
very serious job on your hands when
you attempt to eradicate it. Another
reason is that it is not very good for
pasture in some sections of the cOun-
try. The tramping of the stock will
kill it out in spots, while other spots
will continue to grow and thrive in
spite of all you can do. We know of
one field in northern Missouri that baf-
fes all attempts to eradicate it, and
the more it is plowed the better the
grass thrives. If you think you would
like to grow the grass you can seed 1t
next spring as you would any other
grass seed. Some claim that it should
not be Sown with nurse crop, while
others are as sure that it should. We
think it would be better to SOW it with
little seeding of oats. If the soil is
not very strong, do not use more than
three pecks of oats to the acre and
about the same amount of grass seed.
It thrives best on what we call a
clay loan, but will grow and do well
upon very poor soil, Notwithstanding
drought, and sometimes make two
or three cuttings per acre. AS said be-
fore, the grass possesses but very little
merit for pasture. 1t begins its growth
very late as compared with other
grasses, and the tops are generally kill
ed by the first frost.
In two or three years the roots will
become so matted that the grass will
begin to make an inferior growth. 1t
should then be plowed and the ground
narrowed once or twice, and the
growth which follows will be as heavy
as it was at first.
AS to eradicating it, blowing will alb
solutely do no good unless it be in the
three hottest months of the summer.
Then the ground is generally so hard
that it is almost impossible to pillow it.
Pasturing it very closely is one meth
cd of eradication, but there are always
spots which withstand this treatment.
Some advise the application of salt,
but this is not effective, ard the salt
will many times injure the ground for
other grasses. The salt will preserve
many of the organic matters and thus
hinder decay in the soil of materials
which should decay.

Answer-The mother requires feed
for two purposes first, to maintain
her own body and, second. to develop
the unborn pig If she is given a feed
which will alone maintain her own
flesh. the pigs will be small and infe-
rior when they are born. If she is
given food with the intention Of only
developing the unborn pig, she will lose
flesh and will come out of the ordeal
in very poor condition indeed to pro-
vide healthy nourishment for the little
pigs after they are born.
We are told that the brood SOW
should not have any corn from the
time she is bred till she is delivered.
we think this advice is as misleading
as to advise that she should have moth
ing but corn. The COW needs a little
corn to maintain her own flesh, and if
she does not receive it she will lose in
flesh. she needs a fat producing feed
to maintain the heat of the body and
to replenish the loss she is sure to suf-
fer while she is carrying her young.
In addition to feed to maintain her
flesh. she must have feed which will
properly supply the needs of the I'M
born pigs. II this feed is not provid-
ed-that is, if nothing but Command wa
ter are given the sow-as great mis-
take is made as there is in giving her
10 corn at all. The undeveloped pig
needs flesh and bone forming feed. In
other words. It needs feed rich in
protein and feeds which contain
reasonable amount cf phosphorus and
lime. Clover and bran make an ideal
mixture. Alfalfa and bran are even
better. but there are some sections OF
the country where alfalfa cannot be
grown. Where II cannot, clover viii
answer the purpose The clover con-
tains a great Gcal Of protein and some
lime. and the bran contains protein.
Phosphorus Is present in bran in CON
siderable q"autity. and by feeding i
little ashes voI will add a sufI1ciency
OF lime to make the ration ideal. The
clover OF alfalfa hay can be cut into
bits and soaked overnight and then
enough bran added to absorb the wa
ter around the hay. The hogs will
eat it with a relish, and the feed wiz
supply the necessary elements to de
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-12-14

velop the unborn pig. This feed should
be given in the morning. At noon we
would give the SOW a feed Of an ear
or two of corn for each 100 pounds OF
weight At night she should have
feed of equal parts of oats and corn.
The oats and corn can be ground to
gether as chop or they may be mixed
and soaked for twelve hours and fed
as soaked feed. This ration will fur
nish the food elements in about the
proper proportions to maintain the
mothers flesh and at the same time
develop the unborn pigs. Ashes and
charcoal should be by them at all
times.

Answer. = The blackcap raspberry
thrives best on 8 rather rich soil. Rea-
sonably rich loans over clay subseit
are considered the ideal soils for this
fruit. Sandy and gravelly soils are not
the proper place unless they have been
fortified with organic matter. 1t is
necessary that the soil contain a con-
siderable moisture at all times of the
growing season. However, the ground
must be well drained. The fruit can
not live and bear in a tract on which
the water stands during any consider
able length of time.
If the soils are not very fertile and
it is thought that they need enriching
the application of well rotted manure
only should be made. The amount to
be applied will of course depend upon
the condition OF the soil. but it should
not be too heavy. Generally it is best
to make a light application and wait
till this is thoroughly mixed with the
soil and then make another application
il it is needed.
In making winter preparations for
plantation you should give allowance
for the rows, which should be about
eight feet apart. A heavier coat of
manure can be applied in the middles
Of the rows than in the exact place
where the rows are to be- The soil
moisture will carry the plant food
through the soil cells to the row as the
plant will need it, and thus you will
avoid placing too much nitrogen in the
row where the plant will get an excess
of it.

Answer.-A balanced ration can be
made for dairy cows from clover hay
and corn alone. If the farmer has an
abundance of clover hay and enough
corn to go with the hay, he has
ration for milk COWS which can hardly
be improved upon. VOLS standard for
milk cows is 25.6 pounds OF dry mat
ter per day. This should contain %
pounds of protein, 1873 pounds carbo-
hydrates and O.8 pounds fat. By feed
ing clover hay and corn the ration
nearly conforms to the standard, as
the following table will show:

GERMAN DAY SUCCESS.

Another Feather in the Cap of Herr
 Speck.
 Eight thousand people gathered in White City yesterday, taking part in German Day which goes down on the record as putting the biggest crowd in to the big amusement resort that has ever been in the grounds at one time.
 Flags we're flying free, ensigns, bunting and streamers fioated to the sea breezes, and the city really pre- sented a grand appearance, with the colors of the United States and Ger many predominating A feature very much praised was the colossal interna- tional maypole, the great electric tower serving as the pole, and beautiful streamers radiating to all conceivable points.
 The leaders of many German socie- ties were there and were cordially greeted by Manager Speck who had done everything to make the day the success which it proved to be. All had the time of their lives, and took home badges of white or red as mementoes of their gala day.
 Herr Carl Richter and wife in trick rifle shooting, the noted Malvo troupe and the Second Regiment band all vied to add to the pleasure and enjoyment of the afternoon. By all accounts they were successful.

DEFER POPE APPOINTMENT CREDITORS ASK DELAY
May be Objection to A. L, Pope CREDITORS ASK DELAY
 Appraisers,

Hartford, Aug. 2S.-Creditors of the Pope Manufacturing company, whose claims aggregate approximate S75O,- 900, were represented at a hearing before Judge Case Tn the superior court to-day on tn confirmation of AL bert A. Pope, as temporary and ancil- lary receiver of the Connecticut as- sets of the company. It is expected as result of the proceedings that op- position may eventually develop against making the present receiver permanent
 Attorney J. R. Sheffield of New York, representing a number of share holders said that for the first time yesterday the creditors he appeared for were appraised of the receivership appointment and he sought to have ratification postponed until some later date. The judge interpreted his re- marks to suggest that the court do
 
 strued as giving moral support to the selection of receiver.
 Attorney McLeahan, also of New York, said he represented banks and others having claims aga1nst the com pany amounting to $500,000. Attor- neys from New Britain, New Haven and other places were also in attend ance, also individual creditors, the temporary receiver and officials of the Pope company.
 When the question of the appoint ment of appraisers was reached the court suggested that the creditors and their representatives talk the matter over among themselves in an endeavor to reach satisfactory. agreement His honor withdrew and Attorney More house of New Haven was chosen chairman. Three names were suggest ed, viz: Hon. John R. Mills, Hartford; ; F. c, Billings, Hartford, and F. F. Vandevert, New York.
 After long discussion over the qualification of the nominees, only two of whom could be appointed by the court, it was found necessary to ad- journ the meeting and call in Judge Case. He was enlightened regarding the disagreement, the New York law years contending that the outside cred itors should have at least one of the appraisers. The court reserved it's decision on the appraisers and issued an order that the hearing be continued until September 16; that the time for filing claims be limited to four months, that the temporary receiver continue the business of the company, and that on September IS he file 8 verified re- port of his doings from August 2S to September 16.
 A report filed by the temporary re- ceiver to-day of the affairs of the company from the date of his ap- pointment showed nominal profits of $1S,O00.
