Enect Of the New Mont LAW.

One highly important result OF the
new laws regulating the meat packing
business may already be seen in the
tendency to keep more stock. 81 am
going to increase my herds a llttle," a
leading farmer says; and the argu-
ments he uses are these: More pork,
beef and mutton will be eaten here
after. Folks are satisfied now that the
packers will send out only good, pure
meat, and they will use it freely. Some
one must grow the cattle to make this
meat We might as well all have a
hand in it. Not that all should drop
everything else and put the eggs all
into the meat-grOwlng basket; If we did
that there would be big crash, but we
can keep more stock and make it pay
And this is sensible view to take OF
the matter. 1t will mean better times
for farmers all over the country.

How to Find Scale Insects.


Prof. Troop Of the Indiana Expert
mental Station gives the following d.
rections in recent bulletin: In look
Ing for the scale insect most persons
will pass it by unnoticed on account Of
Its very small size. The female scale
Is only one-twenty- fifth of an inch in
diameter, while the male is only about
half that size. The shape of the fe-
male Is nearly circular, while the male
is more elongated. The female Is sharp
ly convex or conical in the center. This
last characteristic will help to distin-
guish 1t from many of the other more
common species. Its color is nearly
like the bark on which 1t is found. An
other distinguishing character is found
In the reddish discoloration of the bark
Immediately surrounding the scale, ex-
tending through both the outer and in
ner bark. These characters will enable
one with-an ordinary pocket magnify
ing glass to readily detect the presence
Of the insect.

Those who have raised beets for su-
gar know the value of the two vari-
ties shown in the Illustration. The
one on the right is the famous Klein
Waenzelben sugar beet; the other the
Imperial. The first named Is largely
planted for sugar making, and they
are rich in sugar. The Imperial is
also good sugar beet for sugar MAX
ing. In this item, however, attention
is called to these two sorts as being
especially valuable to raise for the win
ter feeding Of stock and especially of
the COW.
Being rich in sugar, they will sup
ply much food matter, and at the same
time give the needed amount of green
or succulent food so much needed by
cows during the winter. Neither va
rlety is especially new, but they have

Corn Cultivation.

When cultiyating young corn 1t must
be done in a manner to destroy all
weeds; hence shallow cultivation may
not answer, as the weeds must be de-
stroyed by any method possible, rather
than to permit them in the cornfeld.
But after the corn is well advanced II
may prove detrimental to run the cul-
tivator deep, as it then cuts many roots
Root cutting has been tested and found
injurious. After the weeds ore killed
the only work required is to keep about
an inch or two Of the surface soil
loose, in order to conserve moisture, as
well as to put an end to any young
weeds that may be ready to start.

Better Cultivation.

The farmer should endeavor to in
crease his proportion Of wheat by bet
ter cultivation rather than by planting
more acres. The latter method is be-
ing adopted in other countries that have
the available area. Our people have an
immense area of wheat culture in for
elgn lands to compete with, lands where
labor is cheap. Europe, except perhaps
in Russia and Roumania and India,
have dense populations and are less
dangerous competitors. European and
Asatic Russia, Argentine and perhaps
before many years large areas Of AT
rica will be in the market against us

Cowpeas as Orchard Cover.


Growers Of peaches are using cow
peas as cover crops in the orchard. The
vines shade the land, and may be turn
ed under when the pods are nearly ripe,
OF, may remain as mulch in winter. 1t
Is more profitable to use the vines for
food for cattle, but, at the same time,
If mulch Is required, 1t Is we'll to
grow the mulch, especially when a
leguminous plant answers SO well. One
advantage in growing the cowpea Is
that 1t is almost sure crop, and lime
or wood ashes may be used as a fer
tillzer with 1t. The peach orchard will
in no manner be injured by growing the
cowpea as long as the land is given
the benefit of the crop by plowing the
plants under.

Thinning Apples.

The effort to produce the seeds OF
apples exhausts the tree more than to
produce the much larger quantity OF
meat, because seeds contain much

upon 1000 small, inferior ones, but the
production of seeds will only be one.
