Produce Good Stock.

AS to whether to produce pure-bred
COWS or grade COWS you must decide
for yourself. There is more profit in
pure-bred COWS, but you can begin the
production of grades with less capital
and for the inexperienced there is per-
haps less opportunity for loss. But a
pure-bred bull and a good one you
must have. The only way to econo-
mize in buying a bull is to get the very
best one you can possibly afford. From
the breeders viewpoint the bull Is
half the herd; $3.50 is little enough to
pay for a bull calf and $500 invested in
a bull will bring you greater returns
II you have only ten cows than will the
anne amount invested in a team of
horses to work on your farm or to
lrive to your milk wagon.

PRACTICE S0lLING FOR COWS
Tried at New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton, Where Three Animals Kept
on Feed From One Acre.

The Jersey experiment station prac"
tees soiling altogether for their cows
They SOW rye, which comes On first in
the spring. With the rye hairy vetch
is seeded and the two make a splendid
feed, besides the vetch enriches the
land. The mex crop is wheat, which
also has vetch seeded with 1t. Fol-
lowing the wheat are oats and Canada
field peas, and again the peas not only
help to balance up the oats, but at the
same time improve the land, being a
legume. Following the cutting of the
rye, cowpeas and soy beans, fodder
corn, etc, are planted. These can be
harvested in time to SOW the ground
down to the same crops for next year,
and later on the silo is opened. Pro-
lessor Minkler stated that he had been
able to keep three COWS during the
summer or the feed grown on n acre
of ground. Could this method not be
practicable on many farms? Suppose
an acre or two Is fenced off In the
COW pasture and seeded to oats and
Canada field peas in March, this crop
cut off and fed in June, the first Of
July the ground sown to cowpeas and
these harvested in September, and the
ground seeded to rye and hairy
vetch. In this way the land would not
become exhausted very rapidly. The
roots and stubble would almost or
quite furnish the humus content, the
legumes the nitrogen, and by adding
a little potash and phosphorus n
should grow crops for years on the
same ground.

KEEP TRACK or CHURN DAYS

Animals Got Wise.

Clark Rogers, a farmer, for more
than a year has used his two big
collie dogs in his treadmill to run the
dairy churn. Churning days were
Monday and Thursday. The dogs be-
came tired of the job and made it a
point to disappear from the farm on
those days. Rogers was obliged to
change the date of his churning three
different times, as 1t only took about
three weeks for the dogs to learn the
dates when they were expected to per-
form, when they would disappear He

WHITE PLAGUE OF CUCUMBER
In Which to Abolish it-Davis
Perfect Not Attacked.

Another white plague has ar
rived, and this time it is the cucumber
that suffers. This pest, familiar to
those who grow cucumber plants I'M
der glass, is the Sciara maggot (Sci-
ara-inconstans). 1t is a slender, white
worm with a shiny, black head, and
measures not more than a quarter of
an inch. 1t lives in the soil among
the roots of the new plants. It's Gus
tom is TO gnaw the rootlets. After a
plant is attacked it makes little or no
new growth and in its sickly condi-
ton produces few if any cucumbers.
The leaves turn brown and the plants
wilt in the sun.
The adult of this worm Is known
as the fungus gnat. 1t is a very
small fly and lays it's eggs in fresh
horse manure. 1t is through the fresh
manure that these pests are introduced
into greenhouses. The use of old
manure rather than fresh will keep
them out. Should they appear, water
in which tobacco has been soaked
should be poured about the roots of
the affected plants.
Certain cucumbers seem to be i'm.
mune to the attacks of these worms.
Tests made indicate that the variety
known as the Davis Perfect is not
subject to the attacks of the mag
gots.

asylum, Frankfort, Pa, fifth prize of

pounds of milk, 1617.16 pounds of fat
and 74,435 points. In the test which
ended September 30, Ashley farm,
Media, Pa, won third prize of $40
for five COWS giving 46,957 pounds of
milk, 1888 pounds of fat and 79,948
