EXCELLENT FOR HORSE FEED
Pennsylvania Station Finds Sllage
Good Ration, Economic in Char
acter and Wholesome.

Silage is an excellent ration for
horses, economic in character and
wholesome in use. The Pennsylvania
station gives the results of horse feed
i'm test where silage was compared
with hay and other forage.
THE horse fed silage as a portion
of their ration consumed less grain.
made their gains at a lesser cost per
pound, were sleeker and better fin
ished than those fed on rations not
containing silage."
In this test they noted that silage
could be fed in amounts varying from
five to twenty pounds per day. They
recommended silage free from mold
and made from corn fairly well Ea
tured. They also advised against
feeding horses large quantities of
silage, especially after coming in from
heavy work when they are in a heated
condition.
The Michigan Experiment Station
has been feeding horses for many
years on silage and favors its use,
especially for horses not at heavy
work. In a test made some years ago
with seven teams Of work horses, one
horse Of each team was fed hay and
grain, while the other received small
amounts Of hay and grain with about
fifteen pounds of corn silage. These
teams were doing moderate work.
The experiment lasted twelve weeks
and the following results were noted:
The silage-fed horses showed an av-
erage gain OF FIVE pounds per head.
Besides the increase in body weight
the driver noted that the silage fed
horses worked fully as well and did
not appear to be any softer than those
not receiving silage. The ~silage-fed
horses showed a better finish and
sleeker coats.

Bonny Best tomato is a very desir-
able early variety.
Try the most promising new var
ieties of vegetables, but don't rely on
them.
Don't forget to have a row of sun
flowers; the seeds are excellent for
poultry.
Sow the Queen onion thickly for
picklers. The little white bulbs are
very attractive.
When short Of room, train squash
vines on trellises or wire fence; they
are good climbers.
For the lands sake and the improve
ment of the ration grow plenty of
clover and alfalfa.
Plan cucumbers in level rows; in
dry seasons they do better than when
grown In elevated beds.
Nitrogen is gathered from the air
by the clover, and deposited in the
soil; a gain In humus results.
Fertility, %barnyard manure and crop
rotation are old subjects, but Of vital
import to thousands of farmers.
Wire fences grounded at about
every fifth post will be practically
proof against harm by lightning.
A row of gladioli along the edge

beauty and a joy to the farmers wife.
As a general rule the finer the man

A dipper OF very warm water turned

Be careful in the adjustment of seed

over night, make a good preparation
for use about the house on flowers and
other ornamentals infested with
aphides.
Manufactured tobacco extracts with
a known percentage of nicotine are on
the market, and are more certain in
their effect because of the possibility
of making up each time a definite So
luton. One such extract which con-
tains about three per cent. of nico-
tine has proved effective as a spray
for aphides when used one part in
seventy of water. This may be en-
ployed instead Of the stems against
the Grape Phylloxera on the roots of
vines, and the woody aphis on the
trunks and roots of apple trees.
Concentrated extracts Gao per cent?
of tobacco have proved especially good
for the writer for the destruction of
aphides in the conservatory. At
times when the whole house was oc-
cupied with plants, some of them very
tender and others under experiment,
such as to preclude the use OF a spray,
concentrated tobacco extract fumes
have proved most satisfactory in
clearing all plants of the insects. The
dose used by is recently for a section
of a house containing 1926 cubic feet
is four fluid Inc of nico-fume and
eight ounces of water. Pieces Of iron
are heated red-hot and with tongs are
dropped into the fluid in a large pan
or kettle. The door is closed and the
fumes left ove night.
A smudge made by burning tobacco
stems is often employed by florists as
a means of Kidding hothouses of plant
lice, but has not proved as effective in
my hands as the vapor. The smoke
leaves a recognizable tobacco odor on
rose petals which is a further objec-
ton to it.
Sheets Of paper which have been
saturated with strong extracts are sold
for use in fumigating hothouses, and
are more convenient and certain than
the stems, If properly prepared.

His Quick Flop.

Hundreds of letters are received ev-
cry month by John e. Gunkle, who is
known throughout the country as the

dressed as "Gunk." He always has
his eye open for the bad boy, the
tough kid of the neighborhood. This
is the kind of boy hat he likes to en-
roll in his league and decorate with
one of his badges.
One of the masterpieces that he re-
ceived through the mail from one OF
these boys says:

WHITEWASH FOR HEN-HOUSES
Formula Given by Poultry Manager Of
Central Experiment Station at
Ottawa, Canada.

A. G. Gilbert, poultry manager Of the
Central Experiment Station at Ottawa,
Canada, says a durable and lasting
whitewash may be made as follows:
Put into a water-tight, clean barrel
half a bushel of unsiaked lime. Shake
the lime TO a depth of five inches.
Stir briskly until slaked. Add two
pounds OF sulphate of zinc and two
pounds of salt dissolved In hot wa.
ter.
These ingredients will prevent the
wash from cracking or peeling OF. 1t
Is better to apply the whitewash
while hot. II to be used for inside of
poultry-house. colony houses or coops,
add half IN ounce of carbolic acid.
To color the whitewash, add yellow
ochre, venetian red or any other de-
sired color.

Land for Barley.

Barley should have richer land than
usually Is given to oats. 1t does not
have a very strong root growth and
needs a good supply Of fertility. 1t Is
seeded in the spring, as oats are, and
yields vary, as do those of all grains.
1t is harvested with a binder just as
wheat, but when wanted for mailing
there is lore danger Of discoloration
on account Of the time that the barley
must stand In shock. The feeding
value Of barley is much the same as
that of wheat.
