MI FARM
BY MMs.~ tit

Progressive farmers have silos.
Barley is mostly sown on corn stub
bic
Flowing is hard work, especially in
stiff sod
Peas put back the fertility that the
corn takes out.
Kaflr corn is not as good for laying
hens rs wheat is.
Keep the land constantly at work
growing some crop.
One of the very best feeds to grow
for sheep is fodder corn.
Cows differ somewhat in the amount
Of roughage they will take.
Not enough attention has been Civ
en- to the character Of seed corn.
The tractor is going to be the new
est and biggest help to the farmer.
The month of June is the time to
prune for the growth of fruit spurs.
Apples, plums and cherries should
not be over three years old for setting
out
Pigs need exercise, for their sole
purpose and use in life is to produce
muscle.
1t is better to buy feed and keep
the stock in the yards until grass Is
abundant.
The prevent rabbits from gnawing
the bark and limbs from small apple
trees, spray with soapsuds.
To be sweet and clean It is desir-
able that the COW stable be white
washed at least twice year.
There is no crop that a stock feeder
can grow that will make as much
feed as corn and peas or soybeans.
AS the pig develops its digestive
system also enlarges, and 1t can use
larger quantities Of feed to advan-
tage.
The terminating power OF the mid
die kernels on an ear Of corn Is much
stronger than that of the tip and butt
kernels.
Beans can be turned into cash the
quickest of any farm crop as It is
possible to sell them in 80 days from
planting.
Few dairymen realize the tremen-
dous significance Of the cream trade
that has been developed during the
past lew years.
Once driven into wood, recently
invented split nail cannot be with
drawn, as the two parts curl away
from each other.
A gill Of linseed meal contains
more bone-forming matter than a pint
and a half Of corn, and as much nitro
gen as three gills Of corn.
Corn treated with a dressing of
plaster and ashes will soon show by
the strong growth and the dark color
Of the leaf the effect Of the dressing.
The cream from the milkings must
not be kept SO long that It will de-
velop a sharp acid, for that would i'm
part an unpleasant flavor to the but
ter.
Now is the time when plenty Of
milk is desirable for the market.
Prices are at their best and the COWS
should be fed so as to make the most
milk.
When pigs are SIX weeks old they
may be turned into grass and clover
pasture II weather is warmt II cold
and ground wet keep them in dry,
roomy pens.
Always handle ducks and geese BY
their necls and never by the legs, as
fowls are handled, for these limbs are
not strong enough to serve as handles
and viii readily break.
A farm Of Is acres, properly farmed
In the hands Of an economical, indus
trious man win support four COWS, one
horse, 80 laying hens, four shoats and
all the vegetables for the family.
The alfalfa field should be q sacred

the crown Of the plants is very In
furious. Manuring the nelds a

Burn the orchard rubbish.

Weeds rob the soil Of moisture
Cucumbers are rather an uncertain
crop.
Whey is not desirable for young pig
feeding.
The new broods of chicks should be
housed carefully.
Try to detect any disease that the
young plant may have.
It is not safe to attempt to grow 20
tatoes without spraying.
The Indian runner ducks are the
layers Of the duck family.
A good plowman can drive three
horses as easily as he can two.
Nothing sets q COW of more and
better than finely shaped udder.
Young pigs must have an abundance
Of exercise, sunlight and fresh air.
All dairy utensils should be washed
as soon as possible after being used
Grit is to the fowl what teeth are
to the Illuminating animal, a neces'
sity.
II you grow squashes and have new
er seen the squash bug you are for
tunate.
Old geese lay a greater number and
larger eggs and are more reliable than
young geese.
Grit can always be had from any
one who deals In poultry supplies and
Is inexpensive.
The mangel is excellent for stock
feed. being greatly relished by milk
cows In winter.
Keep the chicks free from lice.
They cannot grow we'll and tight lice
at the same time.
Weeds crowd the cultivated plants,
depriving them Of light and space In
both soil and air.
The poultry house should be divided
into apartments that provide room for
about 20 or 20 fowls.
Clover and grass seed will nearly
always do best when they can be
started to early growth.
Pruning may be done at any time OF
the year. The best time is just before
growth begins in the tree.
In starting a new asparagus bed 1t
is better to buy two-year-old roots
than to use seed. for this season.
Thrush Is mostly due to dirty stables,
horses standing in fermenting manure
or walking in mud and snow water
A part OF the veterinarians Of the
country have gone tuberculin mad,
and they have some able outside sup
port.
Young ducks, and the old ones also,
must have shade, to protect them
from the direct rays Of the midsum-
mer sun.
Dairy bred stock 10 scarce and 1t
will take many years to supply the
rapidly increasing demand for dairy
bred cattle.
OF the insects attacking squashes,
melons, cucumbers, pumpkins, ETC.. the
common striped cucumber beetle is
the most injurious.
After the sows wean their pigs the
sows are bred to have pigs in the fall,
and that crop Of pigs makes the sum-
mer crop the next year.
Fresh air and sunshine are the best
disinfectants that the poultry raiser
has at his disposal and ought to be
more often used in his work.
The well-hatched chicks in the care
fully-cared-for brooder will amount
to little unless the food is supplied in
proper amounts and at right intervals.
There is no doubt that II the guinea
hen Is properly cared for at all times
that It will prove almost as profitable
as any Of the ordinary breeds Of chick
ems.
In milling and baking quality, the
durum wheats rank high, giving good
results in most respects, with the pos.

SOME sEAsoNABLE sUGcEs TONS.

-Four five years from the fruit crop of Josephine
county will be something near twenty times larger than it
has been in any year of the past When that time comes
it will be necessary find market for pears apples
and other fruits and unless this done, bankruptcy will
stare fruit in the face This that must
build the automobile and auto-truck road from Grants
Pass to the sea- and if this is to be accomplished it
only be done by voting construction bonds provided
for in the bills which Governor West vetoed at the close
of the last legislature The time has for action and
we must be up and doing before it is everastingy too
late This subject must receive most careful considera
ton and the people OF the county must untedy favor the
construction of the necessary road 1t is believed that
Del Nore county people will vote their share of the bonds
and build their part of the road 1t must be admitted
that these are timely suggestions.

GOVERNOR WEST AND THE SPECIAL SESSION

Was it seventytwo seventy three bills Governor
West vctoedg 1t was somewhere along that number and
among them the good roads bills These would have
placed the state of Oregon many months ago the high
road to prosperity We wonder if the people will ever
know the inside history Of the vetong business Can it
be possible that the governor expected to make reputa
ton out OF this inexcusableyes damnabe thing which
keeps Oregon always sucking the hind teat among the
Pacific coast states2 Someone says that he is ashamed
OF the good roads veto business and that he will consent
to call the Legislature together to reenac the good roads
bills providing the members will work for nothing and
board themselves The only decent thing for him to do
is to pay the legislature himself because it was his fault
and the fault of else that the good roads legislation
came to naught
If it was reputation the governor was seeking it was
terrible mistake because it that veto business which
made known to the people of this commonwealth that
they had elected back number to fill the chair of state
and they did It, too at time when needed good roads
legislation in order that we might in prosperity keep
pace with the state of Washington on the one side and
the state of California the other. AS it is the COVER
nor has made us the laughing stock OF progressive people
1t thus. Poor Oregon 1t never had an oppor
tunty unless some individual like West possessed the
power to keep out OF its The Courier regrets that
the state has been placed i'll its present condition in
regard to good roads 1t is not only sorry for the people
but sorry for the governor. He might, by the eXer-
else OF good Judgment have avoided the fatal mistake of
making veto record pure and simple
But what are going to do about t2 1t will not pay
for the people to refuse to meet the governor half way
We need the legislation and, if he is disposed to call
special session, Internationally this will meet the desired
end but il he is to imply that the members of the house
and senate lot of school boys that their united wis
dom falls far short of his own they could not afford to
accept his terms He call special but he has
nothing to do with the paying of the salaries of those
neced with the legislature except that he might veto the
appropriation but the members would unanimously pass
1t over shh veto The governors proposition that the
members of the legislature should pay their own expenses
does him credit but the contrary it proves that he
is not acting in good faith and that his proposal is I'M
worthy ol serious consideration
