Some years ago an expedition
from the University OF Pennsylvania
was seat to one OF our Southern
States tor the purpose Of observing
a solar eclipse.
The day before the event one OF
the professors said to an old darby
belonging to the heuseheld wherein
the scientist ives quartsred.

Tom was, Of course, skeptical; but
at the appointed hour the heavens
were darkened, and the chickens re
tired to roost At this the negro's
amazsment showed NO bounds, and
he sought out the scientist.
"Perfesser,. said he, 'how long
ago did you know dem chickens

CABBAGE MAGGoTs sUBDuED.

| L..
The growth of cabbage plants for
late setting has been very uncertain
venture in parts of New York State
for several years. Maggot flies and
Tea beetles have become SO plentiful
IN CABBAGE sections that only small
fractions of the seed sown give plants
worth setting; so that many growers
mad to importnumbers of plants from
other States. with greatly increased
expense and liability of Introducing
disease. A simple, and, SO far as test
co. a feasible and cheap method for
controlling insects on seed beds was
tested, not originated, by the Geneva
station last year, and the details of
the experiment are given in Bulletin
NO. 3O1. A small bed was covered
with cheesecloth screening and tha
plants completely protected from
maggots. From 1900 square feet Of
bed 10000 insects were taken. while
from check plat intended to set
forty acres only plants enough for ]
little over four acres were secured
BY taking off the cover for q week
before setting the plants were
hardened " so that there was no more
whiting than with plants grown in
the open air. The screening method
Is very inexpensive. and Is apparently
more promising than any spraying or
soaking of the soil with insecticidee
cabbage growers should secure the
bulletfng by sending to the station
for it. y

BORAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairynlan,

The problem Of keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making. has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest faint or hint of staleness
tsft In can. tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that. the faint which
is left is in the form Of bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk or
butter. producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue OF its own which is, If any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been constant clamor for
dairy cleanser and sweetener tina:
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly fills
the bill-borax..
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys. all that Is
:. harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re-
lievtng the dairyman and dairy house |
wife of drudgery and Of needless
work and worry.
Its Ncheapness and value should give
1t first place in the necessities of
every dairy.

IMPROBABLE PORK

f; Too early killing of the breeding
sows is one of the reasons why pork
growing is not more profitable. Gen.
orally a sow does her best service
with her second litter and from then
on until she is six years old. Recent
experiments at the Iowa State Col
lege show that two-year-old sows pro-
duce on an average twenty-five per
cent. larger filters, farrow heavier
pigs at birth and grow their pigs
much more rapidly than do one-year-
old sows. This being true. why do
our farmers persist in keeping young
sows for breeding purposes? The
mature ones are always the best

ALFALFA PAsT1JRn roR Hnns

ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS.
Mr.. e. s. T. writes us: aWill ii
pay to run hogs on alfalfa pasture, or
would it be better to cut the alfalfa
and feed it green to the hogs?"
No doubt greater tonnage OF
green stuff can be secured by cutting
1t daily and carrying out just what
the hogs will clean up nicely, but
would favor pasturing rather than
green feeding. The hogs seem to DO
better. They like to get their noses
into the ground in search of roots:

Alfalfa is our best pasture crop in

means grow alfalfa, If you can. and
give the hogs a chance to turn 1t into
pork.-Indiana Farmer.

The Poland China Hog for Colorado

The Poland China Hog for Colorado.
The Poland China hog is an almost
perfect meat making machine. 1t is
not eXcelled by any breed Of any kind
of livestock for converting feed into
flesh.
1t has voraciOus appetite, good
digestion and laZy-not using much Of
his energy in useless travel or excite
ment. 1t does well under any condi-
ton where food is abundant. 1t will
stand heavy feeding and considerable
neglect.
The PolandChina is an easy feeder
and is quick maturing. When prop
erly handled it is ready for the market
at any time after six months of age,
whenever the price is right.
1t is a typical lard hog. with thick,
short, massive body, fine quality Of
bone, hair and skin, small fine head
and short legs. 1t is thick tleshed
with heavy shoulders and hams and
broad, thick loins.
The meat is fine grained but with too
large proportion of fat on the ma
| tured animal. The Colorado packers
find when the Poland China is marketed
fat at 100 and 220' pounds live weight,
the meat is fully up to the require
ments of the best markets. Above
these weights there is too much fat
The chief fault of the Poland-C China
is that many strains, through oyer.
feeding of corn. are poor breeders,
having only one to four pigs in a lit
ter. Such pigs sre usually choice feed
ers but the number is too small to
make it profitable to keep the SOW.
Where the sows are selected from
prolific strains and fed muscle and
bone making feeds, they are as pro-
| life as those of any breed. Three Po-
and-China sows on the Colorado Ag-
ricultural College farm, had last
spring, thirty-one live pigs.
In selecting Poland-C -Chinas for breed
ers choose hogs that are from prolific
strains on both the sire and dams
sides. They should have the typical
qualities as described above. Be care
tul to get animals with wide. rOomy
shoulders and with slightly arched
backs.
