LISTING FOR WHEAT SEED BED PREPARATION

ing. Under such conditions very un-
satisfactory results will be obtained
from listing.
It will be Seen from these tests that
the largest yields of wheat and the
largest profits result from those meth
DDS of preparation by which the soil
is worked early In the season and
kept cultivated until the wheat is
sown. This corroborates our obser.
vations and the results Of past trials.
There may be an exception to this on
fertile soils in wet seasons. Upon
soils rich in plantfood and well sup
piled with moisture very early culti-
walton and continuous working OF the
seed-bed may liberate plant-food IN
such large amounts that the plant
lodges, resulting in a decreased yield.
Under those conditions medium early
blowing is advisable. In dry seasons
and on soils of average fertility the
best yield will always be produced by
starting the preparation Of the seed
bed as early in the season as pos
sible.

Cut the clover and timothy meadow
before the crop gets too mature. II
the stalks get woody before they are
cut. the hay will not. have the value
that It would have If the crop had
been cut at the proper time. While
the clover contains maximum
amount of nourishment when 1t is at
full bloom, the hay is very hard to
cure at that time, because Of the very
high per cent Of water that the plants
contain. considering both the amount
Of moisture in the plants and the value
Of the hay, 1t is best to cut clover
when one-third Of the heads are
brown.

Certain substances when placed in
an alkaline solution have one color
but when put in an acid change their
color or lose It entirely. That Is the
basIs-of an important discovery made
recently by D. 8. Burch, state dairy
commissioner, whereby cream may be
tested for it's qualities to make good
butter. Mr.. Burch explained his test
recently before one hundred dairy
men, who met at the Kansas AgricuA-
tural College In a butter convention.
This test gives creamerymen q way

In shutting down, the fuel supply

well to drain the jackets, even in mod

clear the jacket Of the deposit OF
