THE RYE FIELD.


Rye which is. sown In the fall for
green feed during cold weather may
be economically used in at least three
ways the next spring and the early
summer. One Of these ways is to use
1t for pasture. Another way is to use
1t for summer soiling crop for milk
COWS. An acre or two on rich land
will produce a large amount of early
green feed and the crop can be used
for nearly three months. To use rye
as a soiling crop, keep the stock off
1T In the spring and when it Is tall
enough to cut take the mower to the
patch and cut enough for two days
feeding. Rake this and store In the
barn and feed out. Then NOV enough
more for another two days feeding
and continue the same method till the
patch is all mown. BY this time the
rye of the first moving will have
grown up enough for a second cutting
and In succession 1T may be cut sew
eral times during the early spring and
summer In this way great num-
Der Of cows may be kept on limited
afea of pasture.

INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL from POTATO CuLLs

I the Agricultural Department distillery
mas shown how potatoes can be
economically handled and practical
instructions in the method Of manu-
facture can now be given. This work
has been done in small distillery
such as would be suitable for large
farms or communities of farmers
working in cooperation. Farmers
may, If they so desire, obtain from
the government data which will enable
them to convert frosted or inferior
grades Of potatoes into a source of
revenue. as it has been shown by ex-
periments that these may be made
into alcohol at fair profit.
The percentage of starch in pota-
toes may be easily determined by
means Of specially prepared instru-
ment. An average sample Of the
potatoes Is washed and thoroughly
dried. Exactly 10 pounds are placed
in the wire basket Gone potato may be
cut II necessary to get the exact
weight). The instrument with the
basket attached is f1oated in a tank
containing clear water at cas- deg. F.
The stem Is so graduated that the per-
centage Of the starch can be read d.
rectly from it. Potatoes average from
IA to 20 per cent of starch and l
pound Of starch In practice yields
about 0.071 gallon of absolute alcohol,
or 0.079 gallon of denatured alcohol
at $50 deg. proof. One hundred
pounds of an average grade of pota-
toes containing II per cent Of starch
would yield approximately 1.3 gallons
Of denatured alcohol.

AN EFFECTIVE CLUB FOR
SWINDLERS.

Wisconsin is making a notable cry
SADIE against men whose business Is
to swindle farmers. One Of the most
notorious swindles to which farmers
fall victim is the sale Of nursery stock
Farmers are no more guilable than
other people, but no matter how
shrewd the man may be he is abso-
lutely powerless to protect himself
against this form Of swindling. The
owner discovers the fraud years after
he has planted his trees, and by that
time the swindlers are not to be found,
nor could anything be recovered from
them even if they could be located.
The only adequate protection for the
farmer lies in an efficient department
Of state inspection under law that is
strong enough to back it up.
Wisconsin has such a law 1t for
bids the concealment of any form Of
plant disease from the state inspector
and 1t gives the inspector power to
cause the removal of plants and trees
which cannot be successfully treated.
The law demands that all stock
shipped into the state or from one
part of the state to another, shall bear
a valid certificate plainly fixed on the
outside of the package, showing that
the contents have been inspected by
the government officials and that 1t is
free of disease of any kind.
The farmer who buys nursery stock
under this Wisconsin law will get what
he pays for. for a severe punishment
Is provided for the man who sells
nursery stock under false name. The
law also puts check on the dishon-
est dealer by requiring that every
agent selling nursery stock must carry
duplicate of his principals license
and this duplicate must be issued by
the official inspector who gave the
original license.
Every state in the Union ought to
get a copy of this Wisconsin law and
adopt it without a change of line
or word.

FILLING THE GULLIES.

II you have any gullies or bitches
in your fields, now Is the time to NOV
out all of the brushy weeds and fence
rows or other brushy and weedy
places and fill the gullies with the
trash. This will prevent such gulltes
and bitches from further washing,
and it will catch and hold other soil
into them. No farmer can be counted
a success who allows his best soil to
be washed out of his fields, or who cl-
lows sterile, and waste places to re-
main as such for any length of time.
These can be remedied and made to
become rich and productive spots,
making the farm more beautiful and
more profitable.
