Gardeners often try in vain to pro-

Rye as Pasture.

Did YOU ever sow rye for winter
and early spring pasture to be
plowcd under for green manure
early in May? If so it has done
your heart good TO see how raven
ously all stock devour it, Also you
are surprised how the cows increase
in their milk, how the young stock
grow, and the hens lay.
There is a good reason for this
remarkable flow of milk and growth.
II has been matter of general OBJ
serNation, and our experiment sta
ton decided To make analyses of
rye at different stages of growth.
They found that when inches
high il contained 10 per cent crude
fibre, % per cent Of protein, o per
cent fat and "a per cent ash. As
it grew larger the percentage Of
crude fibre increased rapidly and
the protein decreased even more
rapidly. So il pays TO keep rye
pastured down TO about 6 inches
tall in spring.
Young hogs pastured on rye and
fed ear corn can be made to weigh
i15 pounds at months old.
II pays to have rye pasture. Sow
your rye at the earliest possible
moment so as TO grow winter pas
ture.

Care of Apples.

Too often the apples are left for
the children to pick. or they are
shaken and dubbed from the trees
by the men before going out for the
days work. An apple day keeps
the doctor away" is a maxim that
has more truth than poetry in IT.
We are not careful enough with our
apples 10 have them keep well. APP
piles should be carefully hand pick
ed and laid away IN crates in a
cool. we'll ventilated place until
cold weather, when they must be
protected from freezing. 4 cave
cellar such as many of our farmers
now have is the ideal place for the
winter apples if you have no cellar
under the house.
Do not fail to build your cave
cellar this fall. II will keep all
your canned and fresh fruit and
vegetables from freezing this winter,
and next summer the milk will keep
cool and sweet on the floor of this
cave.
Apples should all be picked now
within the next two weeks. The
varieties that keep only into early
winter should be gathered first and
the best keepers last. If your trees
are old and tall make YOU ladder
that will reach the tops of the trees
if possible, and don't let a good APP
pie fall to the ground if you can
help il.
The best way to carry the apples
while picking is to sling a grain
sack over your shoulder as you do
for sowing seed, and the apples can
easily be dropped into the sack.
While you are climbing around in
the tree 20 feet high you will re-
solve to keep your young orchard
pruned down where YOU can easily
get at the fruit.
Two apple orchards near Berea
were kept thoroughly sprayed this
summer, and they are M doubt the
best orchards in Madison County
now. The fortunate men are J. J.
Moore and Pleas Evans. Fruit from
these orchards is attracting much
attention at the farmers chautau-
quas. So far as | have observed
these two men have the only real
understandable apples in the County.
Next year there should be a hun
dred orchards sprayed in this Nicin-
Ity. In fact all should spray that
expect to have any fruit. Any who
are interested can get full particu-
lars regarding pruning and spray
ing from Prof. Clark or myself.
