TRY DRY FARMS IN HUNGARY
American Plan Tried With Success ir
Over 200 Tests.

This country is, not the only one to
seize upon new ideas; Hungary, not
supposed to be among the most pro-
gressive of nations. has taken with en-
thusisma to the system of dry farming
that is making profitable much Of
what was once called the ''arid west.
The process of dry farming consists
in rolling hard the field after blowing,
a fine powder. The moisture is re
tanned under the hard layer, through
which it is brought UP by capillary
action to the plant roots. But the fine
surface. layer will not suck it UP any
farther, SO that it is not evaporated.
Director Kerpely of the Hungarian
Academy of Horticulture reports that
he has made over 1000 tests of this
method in the last three years, and in
every case there was an increased
yield averaging so per cent more than
without it.
One landed proprietor, named Fech-
tig, tried experiments on his own ac-
count, and reports that in poor re-
gion, where the wheat yield in l9lC
was from 4 to II quintals per hectacre,
the yield last year bv the dry farming
method was from l6 to "a quintals.
The same proprietor obtained from
80 to SO quintals of barley and oats on
land where formerly 20 was consider
ed good yield
The next experiments will very like
ly be tried in north Africa, which in
ancient times was one af the granaries
of Rome. 1t is possible that the great
supplies OF wheat once sent from this
dry region may have been due to some
similar system of dry farming, the
secret of which has been lost.

Dairy Feeds.

Gluten feeds are not to be colored
hereafter. They will, therefore. no
longer show the bright orange color to
which we are accustomed, but rather
dull. dirty yellow This will in no way
lessen their value: nor did the color
injure it,
A distinction should be made be-
tween cottonseed meal and cottonseed
feed. The latter contains more or less
of hulls, and analyses about p per
cent protein Anything below SO per
cent protein should be classed with
the latter.

Cow Testing.

The COW testing associations are al
ready producing very good results
wherever they are under good man
agement. In almost every instance
the farmers who do not join soon per-
'ceive the advantage of the plan and
the number of the herds put under
regular inspection increases very fast.
1t all depends upon the ability of the
inspector A thoroughly competent
tester not only shows the dairyman
just where he stands in business
way. but also helps him to make the
various practical changes which inn
prove the rations. cut down the cost OF
production and increase the profits.

Best Poultry Tonics.

Fresh air. sunshine and exercise are
the best poultry tonics. But fresh air
does not mean drafts in the houses,
nor does sunshine call for exposure to
hot suns during the summer. The
houses should be SO constructed that
fresh air can constantly be present to
drive out bad odors and purify the at
mosphere.
The sunshine should be able to
reach every corner to destroy any
germs that might be lurkinP in damp
ness. The fowls should exercise by
scratching that a good circulation Of
the blood may be stimplated. The
above are the three best medicines in
the poultry doctors book.

Limit on Eggs.

One good mother hen can brood
twenty chicks and even more with
ease. while she cannot successfully
cover more than thirteen. Thus ii is
we'll to set two hens at the same time
and give one the chicks from the two
hatchings. The other hen can thus
cover thirteen eggs again and raise
her own little family when these are
Matched.

Feed at regular hours and the fowls
will always be ready and waiting for
their last meal.
A little more elbow grease used in
keeping the premises clean will often
prevent disease
A hopperful of bran is always sea-

Friday


Thursday afternoon OF o'clock at
the home of her son, S. E. Wakefield,
on Water street, Mrs. Emily c. Pei
ton died suddenly as the result of old
age. Mrs. Pelton was born in Read
ing, Massachusetts, 81 years ago and
has resided in Sank county since
early war times. August "A, 1858,
she was married to Thomas Wakefield
and to them were born two sons, s. E
Wakefield of this city and Thomas
Wakefield, Oak Park, Ill. Mr.. Wake
field enlisted in the civil war and died
August 4, 1864, in Andersonville
prison. January "a, 1870, she was
married for the second time to
Charles A. PeIton of Reedsburg who
died April /, 1905, and since that time.
Mrs. Pelton has resided with her
children. Mrs. III. L. Cornell, West
ern Springs, ILL.,, and w. I. Pelton,
Reedsburg, were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Pelton. Two stepchildren, Charles
Pelton aid Mrs. Charles Powell, also
survive. Her husband, Charles A.
Pelton, was an uncle of Chief of
Police S. A. Pelton and related to the
other PeltOn families in the county.
Michael Debray, an employe of the
Baraboo Gas & Electric company, is
patient at the Baraboo hospital with a
painfully burned hand. The injury
was sustained at the Trimpey studio
last evening and was caused by hydro
fiouric acid coming in contact with
the flesh on Mr.. Debray's right hand
while he was at work on an etching.
The chemical properties of hydro
t1ouric acid are such that it cannot be
contained in glass receptacles but must
be kept in rubber bottles and the
action of this acid upon the human
flesh is unlike other acids. Instead
of burning it hardens or mummifies
the tissue and renders it structureless
and the burn resembles a frost bite.
The pain, however, is circulating
and out Of all proportion to the SEEM
ing injury. Mr.. Debray tainted three
times as a result of the pain caused by
the burns.
DR.. Powers, who has the case in
hand, states that the injury is an
unusual one.
There was a strange coincidence at
the recent state encampment at
Neenah. On the stage sat Alfred
Bishop Beers, commander-in-chief of
the G. A. r. of Bridgeport, Conn.,, the
home of one of the greatest shows on
earth, and Mrs. Georgiana j. Koppke
of Baraboo, the other city with one of
the greatest shows. Mr.. Beers was a
member of 90. 1, 5th Reg, Conn. Vol.
and Mrs. Koppke's father was men,
Der of Co. I, 9th Reg, Wis. Vol.
When Mrs. Koppke came forward TO
sing one of her songs, 1.-THE Old Can
teen'' she exhibited the one used by
| her father in the war and told the
audience about the strange coincidence
of the commander-in-chief and her
self coming from the two circus CEN
ters and Of their relationships to Co.
| of the Sixth. The audience loudly ap-
plauded and the Neenah papers gives
com plimentary mention of the Bara-
boo author and song writer. Mrs.
Koppke was the only one from the
local auxiliary and while in Neenah,
with the official orders of Commander
Grant, called together the ladies eligi-
BILE to membership and organized a
camp.

MANY JON CORN CLUB,
Boys Take Active Interest i'm Work
of Corn Club and Competition Will
be Keen.

Competition in the Boys Corn
club for this county will be ex-
cessively keen during the year 1913,
for already forty-five boys have
joined and it is expected that MANY
more will be in before the time for
joining expires. The boys are getting
more and more interested in the corn
club work and it is expected that this
will be a banner year in the club in
this county.
The recent National Corn Show in
Columbia did much to arouse greater
interest in this work among the boy
farmers Of the county and the fact
that girls are starting out with their
tomato clubs and will be in the race
this year has also put the boys on
their mettle, for they do not wish the
girls OF the county to out-do them
In the line of intensive farming talk
en- up by them. Another stimulant to
arouse the interest of the boys and 20
make them work harder is the fact
that they are in competition with
their fathers, so to speak, in working
to win one of the prizes offered by one
of the banks Of the city.
The boys Of the Corn Club held
their first meeting Of the year last Sat
urday at the court house when the
names Of those who wished to enter
We're enrolled and a talk about the
preparation Of the land for this years
crop was made them by Mr.. j. Frank
Williams, under whose supervision the
corn clubs will be kept this year. On
next Saturday, March Sth, the boys
will hold another meeting when Off
GERS will be chosen for the ensuing
year and further information given
them as to the best methods Of plant
ing and fertilizing their corn. All
members Of the corn club are urged
TO attend, and in order that the boys
may have the opportunity of know
ing who will be in the club this year
and deciding for themseles who will
best serve them as officers for 1919

THE DISPOSITION OF TIE COT
TONSEED.
Clemson College Extension Work.
South Carolina Experiment station
Press Bulletin No. iOi.

IL Is now time 10 consider the ques-
ton OF fertilizers for the next crop.
In this connection the disposition of
the cottonseed is important The
farmer has a choice of using them di-
rectly as a fertilizer. after crushing or
rolling in acid phosphate to prevent
termination, or to sell the seed or ex-
change them for cottonseed meal.
The writer notes from recent quo
tations that the price offered is around
thirty-hve cents per bushel, whic h
correspondents to S22.33 per ton,
while cottonseed meal is quoted about
s27.0O per ton. This gives a rate of
exchange of 1928 pounds OF meal for
Al ton of seed. Experiments conduct
ed at various experiment stations
show that the liLtsr and oil are of no
value as sources of fertilizer and can
only DC considered for the amount of
organic matter added. on the other
hand when the Inter and oil, which
contain no appreciable amounts OF
plant food are removed. the entire
plant food of the seed remains in the
hulls and cake. The amount of plant
food in the hulls is comparatively low,
therefore the bulk of the plant food is
left in the meal. a ton Of seed when
manufactured give about $50 pounds
OF meal, about $50 pounds of hulls,
about $50 pounds Of oil. and about
40 pounds OF Inter; leaving a loss of
over 100 pounds i'm moisture There
fore we can readily see that the farm
er gets many more pounds of plant
food by making this exchange or by
selling and reinvesting IN fertilizer
than by using the seed as a fertilizer.
The above facts hve been practical
ly demonstrated both by the Georgia
Experiment station reported in Bull
lttin 75 and by Mr.. +. II. Boykin re-
ported In Farmers Bulletin No. 226.
Mr.. Boykin's work was done on the
farm OF Mr. John c. Fletcher at Nc
Coll. S. G.. The following comparisons
were made: where the same guam
titles OF phosphate acid and potash
we're used. and where 40 bushels or
1900 pounds OF cottonseed were COM
pared with 600 pounds of meal un-
der like conditions. where 80 bushels
or 800 pounds OF cottonseed were
compared with 500 pounds Of meal,
always keeping the formula balanced
with respect TO phosphoric acid and
potash. The work was carried on for
two years and in every case the re-
suits were In favor OF the meal.
These results would indicate that
n would be better to exchange a ton
or seed for one thousand pounds OF
meal than 20 use seed directly as
fertilizer. The writer does not believe
this for two reason; there is a GER
tain amount or expense incurred by
the farmer in making this exchange
because he must haul the seed TO mar
ket and the meal back. Also he Is en-
titled TO a reasonable price for the oil
content OF the seed. However. the
prevailing prices and rates Of exchange
on cottonseed allow him a handsome
profit.
