SCHOOL NOTES
Breezy Items of Our School by
the Normal Instructor

Some of the students from the
Normal department have heard
the "call of the wild" and are
going home to live more closely
with Nature in the growing of
crops on the farm. We are sor-
ry to say that some of the best
students are thus lured away,
but we can only hope that they
will find it possible to become
as much interested in the farm
work as they were in their stud
les in school. If they do, many
will be the weeds that their vig-
Ience will "hew to earth. /" We
think that most of those who are
yet with us, about so, will stay
till the examination in May, and
we feel sure that if they do there
will be more first-class certifi-
Gates in Morgan county after the
examination than there are now;
for we think that all who are
here will try to use each remain
ing minute to the best advantage.
On last Monday we took our
department to the court house to
hear the instructions to the
grand jury, as many of the pu-
pills who are going to teach had
never heard the instructions, and
we feel that all who teach should
know the greatest possible a.
mount about the workings of our
government. Civil government
being one of the branches that
we teach, we feel that the time
time was well spent in allowing
the pupils to see the real work.

CARE NEEDED IN
FEEDING ENSILAGE.

A great many silos are being built
this summer, and the owners will have
their first experience feeding silage
next winter. There is no denying the
fact that silage has a high feeding
value, but those who are inexperienced
should use caution in feeding if they
would get best results.
When the feeding of silage Is begun
it must be given in small quantities
or the cows and calves will scour and
get off feed. If the feeding is begun
while there is pasturage and pumpkins
or other green feeds are in use the
danger of scours will not be so great,
and almost a full ration may be given
at the start.
Spoiled silage is something that must
never be fed. When feeding begins, as
soon as the silo is filed. there will be
none spoiled, but where several weeks
intervene before feeding begins there
will be a considerable portion on top
that must be thrown away. Spoiled
silage makes very good mulch for
use in the garden.
The amount of silage to be given
depends to a great extent upon the
COW. as some animals require more

Uncle Cornpatch, as quoted by the
Progressive Farmer. says his neighbor,
Jim Shiftless, has a pigpen about
eight foot square. with an old door for
roof, little trough in one end an
smell that reaches half a mile down
the field. Jim's one pig Is in this pen.
an he must enjoy life in hot days.
"Of course hogs is hogs, an so is
some men. but / don't see how any
man can expect tosgit any profit out
of hog kept in little pen all sum-
mer. an l don't see how he can think
little enough of the hog an the rest
Of the neighborhood to keep a pen so
nasty that man don't like to go close
to it.
Il keep my hogs in the pasture this
hot weather, where there is plenty of
grass an pea vines an shade an wa
ter, an then go out an rub 'em in the
side with the toe Of my boot, an they
grunt an git fat. an we all enjoy it
together. | don't think I'll ever sell

than others, and upon what other
feed they are getting. would con-
slider forty pounds per day about the
proper amount
A bushel basket makes very con-
venient measure, as it holds enough
for one feed. Observe the cows, and if
any do not clean their portion up give
a smaller amount at the next feeding.
Never allow any silage to remain in
the managers, as it will spoil quickly
and faint the milk.
I do not believe that silage can be
very highly recommended as horse
feed. It will do for colts and idle
horses, but will make the working
horses soft
Silage may be safely recommended
as a feed for sheep when given in
moderation. When fed in any great
amount it causes a loosening of the
bowels and has other bad effects. Pea
or clover silage is more valuable than
corn silage as feed for sheep.
The feeder must not lose sight of
the fact that silage in itself is not a
balanced ration by any means Al
ways feed bran, oilmeal. gluten or
other rations rich in protein in con-
nection with the silage. Where a good
legcme is fed also smaller quantity
Of the mill stuff should be given

SELLING APPLES AT AUCTION

Some interesting sidelights on
apple marketing in Europe, partic-
ularly in Holland and Germany,
are given in letter from Herman
Schocken of Hamburg, an old friend
of B. E. Perham, sales manager of
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors.
Mr.. Schocken writes from Zwickau-
Sachsen, in Denmark. He says. in
part, in his letter:
All apples are sold at auction
here, [ have seen Italian growers,
who are represented here, realize 25
to 40 per cent more for the same
fruit than unrepresented growers.
On the morning of the sale they
are down at the dock when the
fruit is being displayed there. They
keep on fixing up sample boxes and
see that only perfect fruit is on dis
play and that this fruit is we'll
stacked up.
When the auction is on they are
on their feet back of the buyers, fac
ing the auctioneer. Above all, the
auctioneer will not knock them down
to any one until they shake their
head in approval. They will, oc-
casionally when necessary, bid them
up and the auctioneer will use his
wits to get the most out of the lots.
Holland uses lot of Washing
ton apples and they buy them either
in London or Hamburg. All of
Holland and Belgium are within
two hours distance from Rotter-
dam and there are 100000 peo-
pie there. Besides the industrial
section of Germany, along the Rhine,
such towns as Dusseldorf, Cologne,
Essen-a section containing fully
100000 inbabitants-are tribu-
tary for translantic shipments to
Rotterdam.
This fruit is sold only to the
very best trade. It can not COM
pete at all with local or eastern ap.
pies in price and must be sold for a
different purpose. Outside of JON
athans the apples that sell here are
Winesaps, Newtown Pippins and
Spitzenburgs, and an Australian
apple, called Cleopatras. The lat
ter brought 81 to IS box all spring
here.
Germany is the market you will
have to look to in Washington.
England, of course, uses her share,
but Germany has twice the popula-
ton and the Germans spend money
on eating, and besides, continental
Europe gets the little it uses through
Hamburg sources. In dried fruit
Germany seems to use over so per
per cent of all the foreign exports
from California.
The Australia apple season lasts
only about four weeks. Their apples
are not as good as the Washington
apples. They come in April and
May"

TURKEYS AT SHOWS,

1t is often wondered why more tur-
.eyS are not seen at exhibitions, but
here are reasons.
Turkeys are range birds. and the
close confinement at shows is very
hard on them.
In many cases they refuse to eat and
they are so difficult to cage and ham
die that many shows offer no prizes
and refuse to receive them
Beside most turkey raisers refuse
to raise turkeys to comply with show
requirements. especially in regard to
feather markings and weights as de-
manded by the American Poultry as
ISOLATION. whose rules govern so many
shows and fairs.
A brown wing feather. a primary
with less than half the white bars, a
single white feather. a brown feather
in tail coverts. should not disqualify
a fine Bronze
Nor should one slate feather debar a

a T..
ify White Holland, and it's the same
with weights.
For instance standard weights for
Bronze are: Adult cock, thirty six
pounds; yearling cock, thirty three
pounds; cockerel, twenty-five pounds;
hen, twenty pounds; pullet, fifteen
pounds
The market call for turkeys is me-
dunn weight and heavyweights are
bad breeders. Yet. If a Bronze fan
cier enters turkey cock that weighs
less than thirty pounds, a yearling I'M
der twenty-five, a cockerel less than
eighteen, hen less than fourteen, a
pullet under ten pounds weight. they
are all disqualified
Such weight rulings are arbitrary
and impractical; such feather require
ments are unnatural and unreasonable
Really the proper place to show tur-
keys is at county fairs, where liberal
prizes should be offered, large inclos-
ures made for the fowls and where
no foolish arbitrary rules should be
allowed

VETCH PROVING VALUABLE
IN RUDKIN PEAR ORCHARD

Much has been said and written
during the past year or two about
the various cover crops and their eff
ficiency, and hairy vetch is one of
the crops that has received much
consideration. We would like to
refer any of our readers who are in
terested in this matter and who are
not familiar with vetch and its vir-
tues to the Rudkin pear orchard in
he Garden Tracts. This orchard
has been in vetch two years. Last
year the crop was disced down and
allowed to stay on the ground.
This was done after the vetch had
ripened sufficiently to seed for the
following year. From the seed
thus sown there has been a luxuri-
Gus growth this year. This crop
for the two years has put humus in
to the soil to an almost unbelieve-
able extent, there being a mulch
1>two inches or more in depth which
almost effectually retains all the
moisture in the soil. In addition
to the humus this crop has been
constantly liberating nitrogen in the
soil, thus furnishing a much needed
element. For a locality where the
water supply is limited or where
there is a deficiency of humus in
the soil we cannot commend this
crop too highly. 1t may prove
rather hard to handle but it is we'll
worth the extra work. Any one in
terested in cover crops would be
well repaid for the time necessary
to make a trip to the orchard men,
toned and see for himself just what
yetch will do.
