A great deal of pork is annually
produced in the cattle-feeding lots OF
the state of Indiana. Many cattle
feeders look largely to the pork made
by the hogs following their cattle for
the profit on the cattlefeeding bush
ness.
Believing that the cattle feeders of
the state would like some definite in
formation as to how much the hogs
following the steers Increase the
profit per steer, the animal husbandry
department of Purdue university ex-
pertinent station has made close
study of this phase of the cattle feed
ing business in connection with the
extensive studies of comparisons OF
rations for fattening steers which
they have made during the past six
years. -1 d - w
The table given below. taken from
the results obtained Ia the Purdue
steer feeding experiments of the win
ter 19O9-1910,. shows that the steers
were divided into seven lots. each lot
being fed a different ration. The ten
steers In each of the lots 1. 2 and 3
were followed by five hogs. and were
fed no corn or other grain In addi-
ton to that which passed through the
steers. The ten steers in each of the
next three lots were followed by ten
hogs, and the Is steers in lot seven
were followed by IL hogs. The hogs
In each Of the last four lots were fed
in addition to the corn passed through
the Steers, 1855 pounds Of shelled
corn, the value Of which was deducted
from the amount OF money received
for the pork produced in each of these
lots.
The profit made per steer without the
pork. with the pork. and the difference
in profit which should be accredited to
the pork, are shown In the last three
columns of the table. respectively.

Cherry Types.

Cherries are divided into two dis
tinct types, both as to tree and as to
fruit. We may safely treat them as
the sweets and the sours. The tree
CT the sweets is habituated to COM
pact. erect growth, somewhat subject
to disease and early mortality. The
tree of the sours is low headed and
spreading. Certain varieties of this
sort are good bearers and stay in
business from twenty to thirty years.
Sweets are much sought after by
birds, as well rs by people. with a re-
suit that much of the fruit has been
claimed by bills presented, collecting
promptly in spite of protest. Sweets
are not generally cultivated in large
blocks in. the Mississippi valley. They
are confined to door yards and by
places about the home, while the sours
are raised to some extent commercial

Spray Solutions.
The materials which are applied to
the trees vary with the pest to be con-
trolled. Scale is controlled by Spray
ing when the trees are dormant. The
time for this is now past. In the sum-
mer, pests which infest the fruit and
attack the foliage are the ones to be
contended with Such pests fall un-
der two classes-chewing insects and
fungus diseases. These enemies may
be overcome at the same time by the
use of combined insecticide and
fungicide. The materials most used
at present are dilute lime-sulphur or
Bordeaux mixture for the fungous
troubles and arsenate of lead for the
chewing insects.
Lime-sulphur can either be made
at home or purchased as a CONNER
cial mixture For small orchards of
100 trees or less, it is advisable to
use the commercial solution as it is
more convenient than the homemade
mixture and almost as cheap. Ar.

six indictments against weeds charg.

The farmer has always had crop
reducing pests OF one kind or another
TO contend with on the farm, but he
has never had better opportunity
than he has now of equipping himself
to successfully contend with and con-
troll the wee, insect and fungus enc
mics that work against his success
and prosperity. When one thinks OF
high-priced land. low average yields
OF crops. and of the various disad-
vantages connected with disposfng of
farm products, it is easy to see that it
never was more necessary than it is
now, to get the upper hand of these
pests, subdue them, eradicate them if
possible. or if permanent eradication
is impossible, then thoroughly con-
troll them so as TO reduce their raw
ages to minimum. A fundamental
business principle is to prevent waste.

Among the very worst of farm pests
are weeds. 1t is said that not one
farmer in so can give the commonly
accepted name, to say nothing OF the
habits, of 20 of our common weeds.
Whether this be so or not, weeds are
increasing at an alarming rate in this
state. Indiana farmers are losing
hundreds of thousands of dollars every
year because of failure to give due at

deaux. This combination of lime-sul-
phur and arsenate of lead will con-
troll the majority of the fungous dis
eases and all of the chewing insects
which infest the fruit and leaves dur
ing the summer season.
Time of Application.
In order to insure crop of perfect
fruit, the spraying operations should
be started early so that the poison
will he on the trees before the pests
arrive. The first spray should be ap-
piled just after the leaves come out
but before the blossoms open Gig. p.
This is the most important spraying
for the apple scab and should be care
fully done The second application is
made just after the petals fall Gig. -
while the calyx lobes are still wide
open so that the calyx tube may be
filled full of the poison. This is
where the majority of the apple
worms enter the fruit and great care
should be exercised to fill each bios
som with spray material. The third
weeks after the second with the same
materials and the fourth about the
last week of June. This spraying may
be omitted on the early apples as 1t
is applied for the second brood of the
codling moth. II these four applica-
tons of the me-sulphur-arsenate of
lead mixture are thoroughly applied
at the proper times, the farm or
chards of today will produce better
fruit than ever before.
Cost of Spraying.
A good, reliable spray outfit suit
able for the home orchard can be pur-
chased for from $500 to $500. 1t
has been demonstrated that the cost
of material. time and interest of
money invested in outfit does not
come to more than Csc per tree for

Every farmer who feeds live stock
should become acquainted with the
soy bean and cow pea, as often one or
the other might be used to good adj
vantage. Both are legumfnous plants
itch In protein and make excellent
crops for supplem enting carbonaceous
feeding stuffs, such as corn. Being
annual plants of rapid growth, they fit
easily into a variety Of rotations and
may often be used as emergency crops
where few other things would fit it.
Both crops are excellent soil i'm
provers. as they gather large quanti-
ties of nitrogen from the air and have
an especially beneficial effect upon
the physical condition of heavy soils
making them loose and mellow. AS
green manuring crops for improving
run down soils, they are unexcelled,
since they will add large quantities of
nitrogen and several tons of organic
matter to the soil, besides improving
its physical condition and making 9TH
er plant food more available to sue
ceeding crops. Both, and especially
the cow pea, may be used to good ad-
vantage to take the place of clover in
the rotation when the latter fails. The
COW pea will make excellent hay to
take the place of clover, while if hay
is not needed. the soy bean may be
used as a grain crop.
As cover crops, both may be used
to good advantage. When sown after
wheat or oats harvest, with fair mois-
ture conditions, they will yield from
ten to fifteen tons of green matter per
acre, containing from fifteen to twenty

In the past the farm orchard has
been an important feature in the COM
mercial apple output of the state. To-
day the majority of the apples sold
on the market are produced N large
commercial orchards. The reason for
this change can be attributed to the
increase of insect and fungous pests
and to the neglect of the farmer in
caring for his orchard. The produc.
ton of fruit fit for either market or
home use from this time on, will de-
pend largely on intelligent spraying.
The Outfit.
No thorough job of spraying can be
done without a satisfactory outfit. A
good outfit for the average home or
chard should consist OF barrel
pump, % or 80 feet of good hose, and
eight to ten-foot extension rod and a

On fertile soils, the COW pea, sown

to three tons of excellent hay per
acre, having feeding value fully one
half greater than clover hay. Under
similar conditions, the soy bean will
readily yield 20 bushels of grain per
acre. containing about thirty per cent.
of digestible protein, which is excel
lent for mixing with corn to improve
the quality of the ration, especially for
hog feeding
AS a general rule, the best time to
SOW COW peas and soy beans is after
corn planting is finished and the soil
has become thoroughly warm. They
should be sown in drills and cultivated
like corn until the soy bean blooms
and the COW pea begins to vine. The
rows should be 80 inches apart for the
soy bean and "a inches apart for the
COW pea. and both seeded at the rate
of % TO 80 pounds of seed per acre.
Seeding may be done with a wheat
drill set at two bushels per acre on
the wheat scale, with the holes not
needed stopped up. Thick seeding is
detrimental to seed production. For
hay production, on mellow soil free of
weeds, the COW pea may be sown
broadcast at the rate of a bushel to
bushel and a half per acre to secure
the best results.
The COW pea is usually best for hay,
while for grain the soy bean will
usually be most profitable.
