Truck Farming.

The News has so often called atten.
ton to the possibilities of the truck
farming industry in this section, that
our readers are certainly familiar with
its advantages. The climate and the
soil are especially adapted to all kinds
of truck raising. Vegetables mature
earlier here than elsewhere and they
are easier to get ready for market.

clover was allowed to grow ON the four
piats and. having attained good
growth, was plowed under in October.
The remaining four plats without red
clover were plowed at the same time
The following spring all eight plats
were seeded to oats. Those that had
been in clover yielded an average Of
10 o-10 bushels to the acre against
8S 4-5 bushels for the plats that had
NO clover. All four of the plats that
had been in clover showed an increase,
the greatest being 10 2-5 bushels and
the least Is bushels. Without add
ttonal fertilizers the same plats were
seeded the following year to barley.
Those that had been in clover yielded
an average of 81 3-5 bushels to the
acre, while the others yielded but 20
bushels. This experiment furnishes a
clear demonstration that the good eff
feet of the clover lasts more than one
season.
In another experiment oats were
grown on four plats, following respec-
lively bronze grass, mixed grass with
out clover, mixed grass with clover
and clover alone. The respective yields
were 33 1-1O SO 3-1O 46 ITO and 481S
bushels. The average of the two plats
where no clover had been used was
3411a bushels, while that of the two
where clover had been used averaged
Az bushels.
The benefit derived from the red
clover amounted to ten bushels per acre
more than was derived from the
grasses.
Other experiments conducted in this
same series showed very marked ia
vorable results both to crops of fodder
corn and potatoes following clover. In
the case of corn the increase amount
ed to 40 per cent and in the case Of po-
tatoes to % per cent.
Crimson clover Is also much grown
as a green manure and forage crop
along the Atlantic seaboard from New
Jersey southwark and to less ex-
tent In the gulf states. 1t has been
grown to slight extent in various
other states, but owing to the fire.
quency with which 1t winter kills II
has not been established as an impor-
tant crop.
In addition TO its value as green
manure, crimson clover is also impor-
tant as a cover crop, tending to pre-
vent the teaching and washing Of
soils, especially on billy land. As q
cover crop 1t Is much employed in or.
chards.
For the improvement Of poor lands
in the middle Atlantic region there is
no better plan than to use crimson
clover as winter crop and cowpeas
as summer crop. One farmer who
adopted this plan succeeded in raising
thirty-five bushels of wheat per acre
on land that had never before yielded
more than sixteen bushels.

Commercial Fertilizers.

The most economical use Of CONNER
cial fertilizers is only reached when
they are applied in rotations in which
the soil Is maintained in good motsture
condition by the use Of barnyard ma
nure or the vegetable matter from
crops grown for the purpose.
Although the food elements in a CON-
mercial fertilizer form but one Of the
several conditions needed for the best
development of the crop, 1t Is impor-
tant that these elements should be
suited to the demands of the crop al
every stage Of its growth, else the
product will not be as large as the 9th
er conditions would permit. 1t Is the
most common practice to use this class
Of fertilizers with the annual crops
and there are good reasons for such
practice, as shown by fertilizer exper
lments.-W. II. Beal.

When II Imparts a Bad odor or Flavor
to the Milk.

When II Imparts Bad odor or Flavor
to the Milk.
The following observations on the
effect of feeding silage to dairy cows
have been published by w. ]. Fraser
of the Illinois experiment station, who
said: The dairy herd was divided into
two lots, one of which was fed forty
pounds of corn silage per COW daily,
while the other lot was fed only clover
hay and grain. The milk from each
lot was standardized to per cent and
otherwise cared for in exactly the same
manner. Samples from each lot during
the course of the eXpei lments were
submitted to 372 persons for an opin
ion as to any difference in the flavor OF
the two samples, anything objection
able about either and any preference.
The results showed that 20 per cent
preferred silage milk, 30 per cent non
silage milk, and IL per cent he'd no
choice. When the silage was fed at
the time of milking, the percentage in
favor of silage milk was much higher
than when the silage was fed one hour
before milking or after milking. Five
samples of each lot were sent to milk
experts in different cities, three OF
whom preferred silage milk, one non
silage, and one had no choice y,
complaint was received from a hute.
to which silage milk was delivered tog
q period Of one month. On the whole
1t was apparent that the ..seater NUN
Der of people were able to distinguish
between the two kinds of milk, bu;
found nothing Objectionable about ei
Their kind
If Of Good Quality.
This is strong evidence that If the
silage Is Of good quality and used il
reasonable amounts, in connection with
other feed, 1t is one of the best feeds
obtainable for dairy cows when pas
membered that in all of this work
nothing but good silage was fed, and
no spoiled silage was allowed to accu
mulate in or around the silo. When
silage imparts a bad or disagreeable
favor to the milk produced from it
almost invariably the cause is that the
silage has not been fed properly OF
that spoiled silage has been used.
1t should not be understood from this
discussion that the time of day food
Is fed which may impart bad flavor
to the milk is Of no consequence. AL
feeds of this nature should be fed after
milking and not before to avoid the
possibility Of producing an unpleasant
favor in the milk.

Locating the Incubator.

As to location of the incubator, do
not place 1t in a room where 1t will
be between two windows where
draft is likely to blow across It The
machine should not be located where
the sun can fall across it or strike
the floor too close to 1t. The effect
Of the sun upon the machine is Pc
culiar, and while the temperature In
the room may not seem to rise the
sun will cause the egg chamber to
heat more rapidly than might be sup
posed, thereby interfering with the ad-
justment Of the regulator. Do not To-
cate the machine in north or west
room unless it Is impossible to find
another place. A south or east room
is far more satisfactory, says writer
in Orange Judd Farmer.
The incubator should be where there
Is fire all the time, or 1t should be in
a room where there is no fire at all.
If the machine is placed in a room
where there is no fire, it should be
borne in mind that the eggs cannot be
cooled in a temperature lower than 60
degrees for any length Of time with
out chilling the eggs. The eggs should
be wrapped between the folds of a
blanket and carried into an adjoining
room where there is a fire.
The operator should use every pos
sible care In keeping the lamp bowl
and lamp burner scrupulously clean
and free from oil or any other for
eign settings. If this Is not done the
heat of the burner will naturally gen.
crate some gas, and. II this be thrown
Off in the room, Is sure to be gathered
back into the incubator. and as it flows
through the egg chamber to cause a
great deal Of damage.
The air in the room must be abso-
lutely sweet and fresh. Be very care
full to see that the incubator sits per
fectly level, but do not attempt to level
1t by water bottle. pan Of water or by
anything except carpenters spirit
level. Be sure to set the machine true
In the front and back and across each
end, as this will insure perfect cir.
culation of air through the tanks as
well as through the egg chamber
which will play good part in produc
ing strong, healthy chickens.
