PREPARING FOR WHEAT.
Much Depends on Method to Be Used
and on Season.

The best preparation of land for
wheat depends upon whether spring
wheat or winter wheat is to be grown
and whether dry farming or irriga-
ton, says the Colorado Farmer Some
thing will also depend upon season
and the forwardness of the work
For Spring Wheat-Under irriga-
ton the blowing should preferably be
done in the fall, except on lands sub
ject to blowing Following the pillow

conditions resulting from such treat
ment pay The soil is so treated is
compact and and moist below and
loose at the surface, while the soil left
as the pillow turns it over is more often
dry and fluffy as deep as the furrow
slice. In the first instance there is
moisture enough present to start
the crop and usually keep it growing
some time. In the second place. the
seed must be irrigated up or lie and
wait for a favorable rain Fall pillow
ing may be deeper if properly man
aged. than spring blowing Deep pillow

NEW u. S. POULTRY FARM.

So important has the poultry in
dustry become that Uncle Sam has
started a second experimental poultry
farm on his own account. He wants

and what is the best treatment and
management to make them most
profitable He will not trust to the

be made.

Makes Stronger Foals.

III farm brood mares received a lit
tie better care. there would be consid-
cradle difference i'll the number and
the health OF foals. A farmer in Mis-
souri,. who is very successful with
horse breeding, attributes much OF his
success to little extra care OF the
mares. One thing he emphasizes and
which is small item but nevertheless
important. is that the men must al
ways walk in from the fields instead
of riding one of the mares. Overhead
ing, heavy pulling or long standing
tied up to stall all have a consid-
cradle effect on the health and the
chances of life of the coming foal
Range mares with freedom and an
abundance of exercise are considered
the most uniform and certain produc-
ers-Orange Judd Farmer.

Par asite Destroys Chinch Bugs.

A bug expert at the Kansas agricul-
tural college has discovered what en-
tomologists long have sought. an in
sect which destroys chinch bugs. This
insect makes a business of destroying
chinch bug eggs by laying its own
eggs inside OF those OF the chinch
bug. The parasite has been found in
every wheat and corn field examined
near Manhattan. OF 1901 chinch bug
eggs collected between April q and
June 10, p per cent were destroyed bv
the parasite OF 10 eggs collected at
Crawford. Kan. 10 per cent were
parasitized.
1t is believed in the agricultural col
lege that this is the first parasite on
chipch bugs ever discovered. James

mems 10 the United States department

The college entomologists will con
tinue Investigations of the parasite
and will determine how widely it is
distributed in Kansas. Ii it proves to
be present only i'll certain regions. and
if continued experimentation shows
that it is an efficient destroyer, artiii-
cial distribution throughout the State
will be undertaken by the agricultural
collegs-Orange Judd Farmer.

Handling the Foal.

The small breeder who has use for
his mares has a great advantage, as
il is easy for the mare to earn her way
and still raise a foal To this end the
foal must early be taught to eat and
be left in a safe place with plenty OF
food while the mare is at work When
running with larger horses a creep
may be arranged for foals to run un-
der to a box of grain which the larger
horses cannot reach. Young foals with
plenty OF exercise will not eat too
much and should be allowed all they
will eat. They can take care of a
large amount OF protein food and
make good use of it in producing bone
and muscle.
The first year in pasture is not
enough to produce the best type of
horses They should have grain as
well as pasture Raised in this way
the colts will have to be separated
from the fillies when about one year
old. but the colts may run together
until nearly two years old At two
years of age draft colts and FLIES
properly raised may do light work
with only benefit to themselves and
thus become self supporting.

CARING FOR A MANURE PILE.
Large Percentage of Value of Fertil-
izer is Wasted by Teaching.

Did you ever drop small coin when
you were paying for something that
you had purchased at the store? Pick
ed it up. didn't you? You bet. Then
why don't you save those scores OF
nickels and dimes that are being wash
ed away from that heap of manure
down behind the stable? says the
Pennsylvania Farmer. Every rain
washes away a large per cent of the
value of manure that is piled out in
the open.
Manure contains certain fertilizing
elements that would be returned Il
the fields from which they are taken
OF course, you recruit the soil BY
blowing under a crop But that i
very wasteful when compared witt
the plan of feeding the crop to the
stock and then hauling the manure
out to the field.
Use plenty of bedding to absorb the
liquids, as a large per cent of the to
tai value is therein. Don't let the ma
nure pile spread all around. but keel
it piled compact as possible. and al
ways have the pile in the shelter. By
all means save every bit of manure
you can, and apply it to the field,
where it will produce dividends in
the way OF increased crops

BEEF GAINS ON GRASS.
Grass and Beef Production Are Close
ly Allied.

Grass and beef production are as
closely allied as corn and pork pro
duction, writes ]. L. Tormey in the
Country Gentleman. In spite of the
cry that land is too high priced to pas
lure, the bulk OF the beef that is mark
eted is produced on grass as feed
throughout the greater part OF the
year, and it is safe to say that most of
the gains made are made on grass
alone or on grass as a. part OF the fat
tening ration.
The man who feeds in the corn belt
utilizes some pasture because expert
ence has taught him that he can feed
more economically in summer with
grass as roughage than he can in
winter on dry roughage. Some men
utilize the pasture to "graze down the
cost of stockers that are to be sold as
feeders at the end OF the grazing sea
son. Others place feeders upon the
grass in the spring and sell them as
grass fed cattle at the end of the sea
son. Many cattle are kept over winter
and fed on grass the following spring
or early summer to be sold in June or
July before the range rush comes to
the market.
Under all these conditions the same
difficulties confront the cattleman-
those of changing the cattle from the
usual dry ration of winter to the ex-
tremely succulent one of grass. The
pleasing taste of the new grass causes
the cattle to eat rather too much OF it.
Its exceedingly succuleut character
contrasts so sharply with the dry for
age OF the winter ration to which the
cattlc's digestive system have become
accustomed that digestive derange-
ments may result.
Farmers who have silos have in corn
silage one of the best possible feeds
for cattle that are to be turned on to
grass There is perhaps no feed that
as far as physical characteristics are
concerned. so nearly approaches the
character OF pasture grass as does
corn silage. 1t keeps the steers in
good condition. and there is no i'm
mediate change in the amount OF sue
culencc iii the ration when the cattle
are put on to grass in the spring.

Cause of Bone Troubles.

One cause OF SPAWN. ringbone and
other bone troubles in horses is the
lack of proper nourishment An unbal
anced ration containing large
amount of corn and deficient in ash,
makes a porous bone with a rather
'pongy texture. Fed a proper ration,
the same animal would develop a
much stronger bone with firm, solid
texture The bone diseases are usr-
plly simply an effort of nature to add
extra growth to reinforce bone that
is not strong enough for its load \
great many of these troubles would be
avoidd if all horses. particularly when
they are growing. were. supplied an
abundance of such feed as oats. with
