GOOD CULTIVATION
IN POTATO PATCH
CuItivator Should Be Kept Going
and if Bugs Appear Spray
With Paris Green.

Keep the cultivator going in the po-
tato patch, keeping away far enough
at the last to prevent injury to the
growing tubers.
If bugs attack the crop. spray with
paris green. No plant can grow with
out leaves and when the potato has
been defoliated that ends it,
If blight attacks the plants, spray
with Bordeaux mixture. says Spray
Calendar. Blight is as fatal as the po-
tato bug. 1t is now well known that
potato rot is a disease that starts in
the plant above ground, so it is impor-
tant that the tops oe kept in vigorous
condition until late in the summer.
They will continue to grow tubers
clear into September, If given a
chance. But how common At Is to see
the vines all dead with blight in Aug.

Appliances for Measuring Time.

Mechanical appliances for measur
ing time We're in use from the earliest
ages and clocks of one kind or an
other were made in Europe before the
discovery OF America Brass wheel
clocks with weights, standing six
feet high, such as are now called
grandfather clocks, were common in
England and Germany long before the
revolutionary war. The first clockma
ker in the United States was Eli Ter.
ry, who made his first clock with wood
en- wheels in 1892, and afterward
made a great many, and they were
good timekeepers. In 1907 he con
tracted to deliver 1000 wooden whee
movements to a certain firm, and il
took him three years to fill the order
Seth Thomas, once a well known Van
kee clockmaker, learned his trade with
Eli Terry. Brass wheel clocks were
first made in the United States ir
1897.

There should be few sheep on ev.
cry farm. 1t is always admitted that
few horses, or few cattle, a few
pigs and some poultry must be kept
on every farm because they are nee
essary and economical-why not
sheep? II the dogs bother the sheep.
shoot the dogs. Perhaps, says a bull.
letin issued by the organization of
Illinois Farmers Institutes, the chief
reason for not raising more sheep is
that most people do not understand
them, but they are easily understood
when one begins to deal with them.
A farmer in southern Illinois told
the writer that his flock paid S5.7 per
cent. on the investment. He said that
the lambs each year sell for as much
as the mothers cost and that the wool
pays the cost of keep. Each year the
flock produces as many lambs as there
are ewes. A 100pound lamb sells for
seven dollars as much as the mother
cost. The mother will shear a nine
pound fleece that will sell for $3.50,
and this will pay for the keep of the
eve and the lamb The average eve
will weigh 100 pounds, and at five
cents will bring six dollars, profit of
S5.7 per cent on the investment.
Sheep delight to clean up neglected
places-in the potato patch, the pig
lots, the stubblefield, fence rows and
everywhere. In Minnesota it was
found that out of $50 kinds of weeds
there were only fifty kinds that sheep
would not eat
The best time to sell a sheep is
when it is lamb If it weighs so
pounds, is fat and has the quality, 1t
will sell as prime lamb at any sea
son of the year This is the popular
weight for market lamb, but it must
be fat; if it is not fat It will be dis
eliminated against. Alfalfa hay and a
little grain or corn silage is a good ra-
ton for use in finishing lambs for
market The quality of lamb is in
dicated by short legs, fine feet and
compact form.
Male lambs should receive atten-
ton when from eight to sixteen days
old, and neglect means that the lambs
will bring less money on the market.
With meat animal shortage of
several million head in this country,
and with the price of meat fast put
ting it out of the reach OF some of us,
there can be no doubt that the sheep

between May 90 and June l and mil
let should be seeded in the same field
by July |. thus insuring an extra crop
on the ground.
Fodder corn may also be grown in
the latter part of the summer on a
field that has produced rye These
late crops are valuable addition to
the winter supply.
There are various methods by which
the owners of live stock can secure
double crops without wearing out the
land.
Alfalfa averages three cuttings each
season, the first crop being ready
early in June in the more northern
sections. This is one of the very
best fodder crops for dairy cows after
it has been partly cured.
1t is unwise to allow cattle to forage
on alfalfa, as 1t is likely to cause
bloating, and at any rate the waste
from trampling is large.
1t is the business of the farmer to
plan months ahead for his winter fod-
der and when this point is settled in
his mind he will be free to give such
attention to summer feeding as the
state of his pasture makes necessary

SEVERAL SUMMER
FEEDING PROBLEMS
Intelligent Provision Gives Sub
StantiaI Advantages to Live
Stock Farmer.

Although the question of summer
leeding has become one of the most
important in the country, so far as
many farmers are concerned, there
are many who, in my opinion, miss
some of the main points altogether.
An intelligent provision for summer
feeding gives substantial advantages
to the farmer.
Less land is used for pasturage and
consequently the percentage of waste
is reduced. If there is saving in
the amount of land it simply means
the use of less capital in this branch
of agriculture.
In other words farm of 100 acres
should yield as good results as one of
$50 acres under the old methods.
OF still greater importance perhaps
is the matter of keeping up the milk
supply to contract requirements and
that of maintaining the growth and
strength of live stock generally.
In the early part of the season
when pasturage growth is rapid ami
mails waste fully as much fodder as
they consume. but by midsummer the
dry weather is pretty sure to curtail
the growth of grass to such an extent
that the milk supply is lessened and
flesh and growth are impaired
The conclusion is that the farmer
should not depend on pasturage after
the first of July and therefore only
SO much land should be devoted to
grazing as may be needed in the most
favorable part of the season.
The problem of supplying summer
fodder can easily be settled by the
cultivation OF the part Of the pasture
land which is saved. Young stock
will then obtain uniform growth while
by the same means a dairy will keep
up its milk supply.
Should the whole season prove ia
vorable for pasturage much of tbs fod-
der raised for summer feeding may
be sold in the market or the dairy
may be enlarged.
A silo is a good auxiliary in provid-
ing for either summer or winter feed
ing and there are various methods
along the line or intensive farming
which will enable owners of cattle to
use less land and at the same time
attain the results desired.
A crop of rye can be cut for hay

FARMERS WIN AT LAST.
Public Service Board Extends Hours
For Unloading Cars.

Public Service Board Extends Hours
For Unloading Cars.
Chairman Philip d. Laird, of the
Public Service Commission. handed
down an opinion in the ng-fought de
murrage case, ordering that free time
for loading and unloading cars in the
counties be extended to co hours The
present free time is As hours
This order applies to electric as well
as steam railroads handling car load
lots, 1t is provided. however, that
where consignments are to persons in
villages and towns located on rail-
roads and delivery can be made in
wagons. the 4S-hour free period may
be applied.
The fight for longer free time has
been waged principally by the farm.
ers Of the State They asked for :.
. hours free time Chairman Laird says
90 hours will give as much daylight
free time as 70.
The farmers made their fight frs:
in the Legislature of 1910 At thar
time bill was passed making the ex-
tension. but Governor Crother with
held his signature because the matter
was under the jurisdiction of the Pub
lie Service Commission, which had
been created at the same session. No
action was taken by the commission
in the first two years of its existence
and at the last session of the Legisla-
ture that body was severely criticised
for its inaction,
After the return of Chairman Laird
following his illness, the matter was
taken up last year and a large delega-
ton OF farmers, led by Humphrey d.
Wolfe, appeared before the commits
sion while the railroads were repre-
scented by counsel
Chairman Laird said, in part:
1T was brought out at the hearings
that the cars now used by the rail
roads are much larger than the types
in use at the time the 4S-hour rule was
adopted, and that il was often impos-
sible TO unload cars within the speci.
fed time, owing to the length of the
wagon haul and the difficulty of get
ting extra teams in a neighborhood
where everyone is engaged in the same
business and has instant use for his
horses and wagons in the conduct Of
his own affairs.
1T is true that the railroad COM
panies are not responsible for the 10,
cation of farms and no special burden
should be imposed upon the roads
But not only has the size of cars been
increased since the free-time demur-
rage rule was adopted, the commodi
ties required in agricultural opera
lions have increased and the produce
which the farmers ship is largely in
excess of what it was years ago. The
railroads have profited by the increas-
ed traffic in both directions"

industry OF Illinois will be profitable
for many years to come, and a few
sheep on every farm will help to de
crease the shortage, clean up waste
places. conserve fertility and increase
the bank account
Experiments carried on with cattle
showed that cattle given plenty OF
water with their pasture contained
more moisture and less dry matter
than did the carcasses of cattle given
pasture, but no additional moisture.
1t is a generally accepted principle OF
feeding that 1t costs more and more
to produce meat as the moisture de-
creases and the dry matter Increases.
From this We are able to deduce the
fact that 1t costs less to gov the
steers that had plenty OF water and
so made watery carcasses, than it did
to grow the steers that had no water
other than that in their food and re-
produced a dry carcass.
What is true in the cases of steers
would hold equally true in the case
Of sheep. Sheep given plenty of water
will produce mutton more cheaply
than will those deprived of it, Muscle
expansion will be more active in the
one case than in the other, and that
is another reason why mutton pro
duction would be cheaper.
There is considerable water in any
of the pasture crops that sheep eat,
and they get still more moisture from
the dew that collects on the grass
blades in early morning and late eve
ming; but from these two sources.
while it gets enough water to keep il
alive. a sheep still does not get
enough water to keep it in the very
best growing condition nor to keep
all its bodily processes going on in
the most effective manner possible.
There is not an organ in the body
that can function properly without
water TO aid 1t. Being one of the
chief constituents Of blood, water is
carried to every part Of the system,
and not alone helps it in getting its
nourishment, but also in Kidding ii of
its impurities 1t is obvious that a
large amount of water must be neces-
sary to keep the sheep doing we'll.
| Enough is not gotten with the food,
even in summer, and this amount
should be supplemented by all that
the sheep will drink when given con
slant access to it.
