Of around two cents in the price, the
county's crop this year will bring
about three quarters Of a million dol

CABBAGE FOR WINTER USE

The Horticulture Department of
the Washington State College sug-
gests that readers make plans at
this time to have a supply of fresh
cabbages next winter. For storage
it it is best to plant a late variety
Of the Ballhead, Drumhead, or Flat
Dutch type, as these varieties keep
better and go on heading with less
danger of bursting open after the
fall rains begin. Do not pull the
cabbage until late in the season.
November seems to be the right
time in eastern Washington. Some
freezing does not harm. Place the
cabbages close together in single
layer, head down, on the ground in
a we'll drained location and cover
them with corn stalks, setting the
stalks on end and inclining them
so as to cover the cabbages. If sweet
corn is grown in the garden the
stalks should be saved for this pur-
pose. Make the pile narrow enough
SO that the tops of the corn stalks
will overlap from either side and
put the stalks on good and thick to
keep the temperature even, then
shovel some soil up around the base
of the pile and lay few boards on
top to hold the stalks in place. It
is not necessary to keep out the
frost, but the cabbages should not
freeze solid and constant freezing
and thawing may cause them to
rot. A temperature as near the
freezing point as possible all the
time is what is desired. Storing
the cabbages on the north side of a
building will help to keep the tenn
perature constant, but they should
be out of the way of water from the
caves. Where it is not possible to
get corn stalks, straw might be used
for covering the cabbages, though it
is not 80 good as the stalks, and a
thin layer of straw on the ground
under the cabbages will help to keep
them clean.

BULLETIN ON SPRAYING

General Bulletin No. 1O6, 1.-THE
Penetration System of Spraying
written by A. L. Melander, Ento-
mologist, and R. Kent Beattie, for
merly Botanist of the Station, has
just been issued by the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at
Pullman Washington.
This bulletin discusses thoroughly
the general principles nd erlyi n g
the high-pressure system of spray
ing recommended by the authors
as result of their six years of study
OF methods of combating insect
pests and fungus diseases in the
state. The advantages and disad.
vantages of the different methods of
spraying are clearly described. The
results OF comparative spraying tests
on large scale in several different
localities and several different sea-
sons are reported in detail.
The methods recommended by
the authors in this bulletin have
been tried out in many other states,
since they were first proposed by
the Washington Station men, and
have been almost universally sue
cessful. Every orchardist should
familiarize himself with the contents
OF this bulletin, a copy of which
may be obtained free by writing
to the Director of the Experiment
Station, Pullman, Washington.

expert entomologist would be able
to trace the continuity of the species.
AS to the control of the pest, ex-
pertinent has shown that spraying
early while the eggs are Matching is
the best time, for after the lice ma
ture they develop resisting power
and besides it is much more diff
cult to reach them after the leaves
have begun to develop.
Lime sulphur seems on the whole
the best insecticide. Black leaf and
soluble oil are both effective and the
latter in some cases has proven su-
perior to the lime sulphur so far as
the aphis is concerned, but neither
Is so effective for the other pests that
infect the peach and can be treated
at the same time, namely the twig
borer and the red spider. If, how
ever, the aphis has had time to ma
ture, experiments show that lime
sulphur is not effective and that to-
bacco preparations or crude oilsprays
should be used.-Condensed from

HANDLING the Milkers.

Provided that they have always been
kindly treated, dairy cows are general
ly no trouble to milk. AS rule, they
appreciate being MIXED. You very Of
ten notice COW will start chewing her
cud when she is being MIXED, which is
a sure sign of contentment, this being
especially noticeable in the case of
very heavy mixers. which get their
vessel much distended from one milk
ing to another The relief afforded
them by withdrawing the milk Is easily
noticeable. Not infrequently, however,
certain difficulties due to variety Of
causes are experienced in the milking
Of cows. but there is no doubt that a
good many Of them could be averted If
only they were better treated

SELECTING A STALLION.
Some Important Factors That Are Worry
Often Overlooked.

Often Overlooked.
In the selection Of a stallion it is i'm
portant to see that the horse has
stout constitution or his emasculated
sons will not be valuable or profitable,
writes W. r. Gilbert in Farm Journal.
This matter of appetite and digestion
should in the stallion represent a very
full and greedy habit, as the sire does
not usually do the severe work which
impairs the digestion Of the gelding.
When colt is added to the list of
geldings his vital forces are thereby
materially reduced, his bodily strength
is lowered, his digestion is never again
so good, and his circulation may yet be
healthy, but it is milder.
If gelding be gross feeder this
troublesome excess would have been
more pronounced had he been preserv-
ed entire. If stallion be light feed
er his stock can never be worthy Of
stable room. Whatever else be over
necessaries Of back, body and limbs,
and If you must risk something let 1t
be the frontage. The hind or propelling
part Is the motive power, and without
1t there is no push. Size is an impor-
tant element, but leggy horse is high
~ Objectionable.
Not only the stallion, but the brood
mare of any type, should have consti-
tuition the vigor of which cannot be
doubted. Every good judge Of horse
can see at glance whether she pos

sesses it or not Be sure there is no
hereditary unsoundness, as it is almost
certain to ruin the youngsters. Above
all, see that there is no roaring in the
family. Any small unsoundness in the
mares respiratory organs will not be
small in her sons or daughters. There
is everything in heredity, even bad
habits, such as running away or kick
ing in harness.
An Ill hammered mare may breed a
good, tough, sound youngster, but her
FLY foals should be broken in very
early in life and before they get strong
and resolute. The FLY foal Of a kick
ing cart mare should go in the plow
team at eighteen months; then she is
readily managed. But If you wait an
other year she may give much trouble.
Very few geldings kick In any tackle.

FEEDING HOGS THEN AND NOW

When we were boys on the farm
in the middle west, we took scoop
shovel and bushel basket to the corn
crib, shoveled up the corn in the
ear just as it came from the field
and carried it to the hog yard when
feeding time came. Now, accord
ing to Prof. Iddings, of the Moscow
Experiment Station, Grain must
be ground fine, especially for young
pigs. Rolling grains leaves them in
porous condition, and when taken
into the stomach they make por-
Gus mass upon which the digestive
juices can easily act. Grinding or
rolling ordinarily saves about 10 per
cent"
He goes on to say that expert
ments at Moscow seem to show that
there is an advantage in wetting the
feed. DRY and floury feeds need
much liquid to moisten them and
the saliva and digestive juices are
hardly sufficient for this purpose;
furthermore wetting makes feeds
more bulky, thereby preventing
rapid eating and when fed in this
rather bulky, wet form, they satisfy
the appetites of the older hogs for
bulk"
He does not favor cooking or
steaming the feed except in the case
of potatoes and beans which give
best results when cooked.
Alfalfa should be fed whole in a
rack. On the whole this method
has been found more economical
than cutting or chopping it into
short lengths or grinding it fine in
to meal.
Exhaustive experiments in the
Nebraska Experiment Station go to
show that the best ration for that
section was composed of Is to 80
parts corn and % down to 10 parts
of alfalfa. Wheat and corn mixed
would give faster gain but wheat
being higher in price. this ration
was not so economical. The reverse
as to prices being true here, the
wheat ration would be the cheaper.

The Price Of a Boar.

- Men sometimes hesitate over the
price that shall be paid for boar. Re-
membering the Importance Of the boar
in the herd, the difference in price be-
tween high class individual and an
inferior one may be divided by the
number Of pigs expected. If the differ
ence is $50 then 10 cents added value
to each Of 200 pigs will pay the differ
ence. Certainly 1t does not require
much additional merit to increase the
value Of the pig 10 cents.

The eggs are deposited er he
peach trees in the autuHn nere
they remain until spring. They are
not easily found unless one knows
where to look and what to look for
but the initiated can discover them
quite easily on or near the buds or
deep in wrinkles or depressions.
They begin to hatch quite early,
often in the first or second week in
March and in increasing numbers as
the spring develops. They feed on
the buds or tender bark, sucking
the early flow of sap by means of
their slender beaks. This spring
brood Matching from eggs that have
wintered over on the trees are known
as stem mothers. The full grown
stem mothers of this plant louise are
of pinkish or salmon color, and
before there is a sign Of a peach
blossom in the spring, these stem
mothers have begun reproduction,
their progeny are born alive, eggs
never being laid except in the fall
and then by an aphis which, though
only a different form of the same
species, might be taken by the Or
chardist for an entirely different
kind of plant louise. The genera
ton from the stem mothers differ
from the latter in that they are light
green in color with darker green
longitudinal markings on the dorsal
surface of the abdomen. Just as
soon as tie buds unfold the stem
mothers and their progeny are ready
to enter within.
They feed on the blossoms and
the leaves, and the young fruit di-
vitalized by the loss of sap shrivels
and falls. This injury is done. to
the young peach while it is yet in
the calyx tube; later injuring comes
from the curling of the leaves and
the checking OF the growth of the
young branches from the loss of sap.
Shortly after the peaches are found
winged lice appear and, fortunately
for the peach trees, these fly away
to other food plants. Few are left
on the peach trees by the last of
June. While on the summer food
plants the aphis loses its character
istic green color, becoming light yell
low. The last generation of the
winged aphis appearing in the fall
are known as the fall migrants be-
cause they leave the summer food
plants and migrate back to the peach
trees where they give birth to the
true sexual forms, male and female.
These females are like the stem mo-
theirs previously described in color
but smaller in size. After matur-
ing they deposit the eggs which are
to produce the stem mothers the
next spring. And so the wondrous
life cycle is completed. This cycle
comprises five to six widely varying
forms differing in color, structure,

POTATO BLIGHT

This is a disease that rarely oc-
ours, we understand, in the Inland
Empire, yet it is well to know what
to do should occasion arise.
DR.. H. B. Humphreys, plant path
ologist Of the Washington State Col
lege, gives this advice regarding it.
We have good reason to believe
that the blight organism not only
effects the branches of the potato
plant but that it extends down into
the tuber. The practice of plant
ing such tubers would doubtless re-
suit in the development of blight in
the new crop. would strongly adj
wise securing seed potatoes from
some point where blight does not
occur. After such seed is planted
and the resulting crop has reached
the height of six or seven inches you
should spray with Bordeaux Mixture
in the ratio of $3.50, that is, five
pounds of bluestone, five pounds of
good lime and fifty gallons of water.
This should be followed by at least
three subsequent sprayings of from
10 to Is days apart. There is no
known remedy which can be ap.
piled after the blight has made its
appearance with the certainty Of
success in eradicating the disease. !"
