FARM FACTS
BY Peter Radford

Agriculture needs all the great
men IL can get.
In union there is strength and in
cooperation there is profit.
The farmer can neither help him
self nor be helped by others until
he organizes.
The economic distribution Of farm
products is today the worlds great
est problem.
Our transportation system are the
dray carts of agriculture and can be
made capable peddlers of farm pro-
ducts.
The middleman is nothing more
than a farm hand but he Is able TO
fix his own wages and TO collect
them and TO multiply his transac-
tions as he pleases.
Bumper crops without market
facilities have sent more farmers
staggering down the back alleys OF
agriculture than all the pests and
droughts that ever cursed the ma
ton.

BEE BUSINESS BAD

kentucky bee-keepers have just
completed gathering the 1914 honey
crop. According to the Bureau OF
Crop Estimates Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, the
yield per colony Of bees was 8
pounds. In 1919 the production per
hive was 40 pounds.
The decrease is said to be due
to the shortage of the wild flower
crop this season.
The latest census figures of the
bee and honey industry of this State
relate to 1910. That year there
were 35,6O3 farms in Kentucky that
kept bees and the total number Of
colonies was 1891.

possible to bring the COW to a larger
flow Of milk.
Care must be exercised after the COW
has closely approached the limit Of the
amount of food she can consume with
out hurting herself In twenty-four
hours, and by no means at that time
should the ration be increased more
rapidly than one-half pound every 9TH
er day.
Every COW has two limits-namely,
the limit Of her capacity and the limit
Of her ability. The limit of her ca
pacity signifies the amount Of food
she can consume in twenty-four hours.
The limit of her ability signifies the
amount of milk she Is capable OF CIV
ing In twenty-four hours. Wise feed
ers do not try to reach the limit Of a
cows capacity. but strive to provide
her with just as much feed as Is nee
essary to stimulate her to work to the
limit Of her ability. There Is no way
Of determining this other than by
weighing the feed and weighing the
milk. After the COW has reached the
limit of her ability to yield milk the
feeder needs to change her ration from
time to time both in character and
amount In order that the COW keeps In
good working condition and produces
her maximum amount Of milk.
II 1t be noted that the COW Ii pro-
ducing a large flow Of milk and be-
coming thin In flesh, then 1t Is neces-
sary to add carbohydrates to the ration
In substitution for some Of the protein
food. Carbonaceous foods are as fol-
lows: Ground corn. hominy feed, corn
silage and barley. On the other hand.
II the COW seems to be laying fat upon
her body at the expense Of the milk
pail. then 1t Is advisable to substitute
for a portion Of the carbonaceous
foods those rich In protein. such as
gluten feed. oil meal. bran and ground
oats.

Tea Plantation at San Diego

The tea plantation which has
been brought TO San Diego from
Ceylon. consists Of 200 tea plants
which are in charge. of a Singalese
nurseryman, and throughout 1915
the natives will cultivate the trees
and strip from them the CONNER
cial tea leaves. turning them over
10 the girls who will cure them and
prepare them for serving to visi-
tors in the pavilion at the center
OF the plantation. The progress
made in the two months during
which they have been growing at
San Diego. indicates that Sir
Thumas Lipton's experiment has
been SUCCESSFUL and that tea OF
good commercial value can be
grown in the Southwest. There
are distinct possibilities for great
American industry Of the future.

FEEDING COWS FOR
MILK PRODUCTION

In addition TO roughage consisting Of
silage and alfalfa an excellent ration
for dairy cows can be provided by
mixing together equal parts OF such
feeds as ground corn. ground oats,
bran, gluten feed. distillers' grain. cot
tonseed meal, linseed meal and hominy
feed. Such ration may be termed
a basic ration. says Himbalrs Dairy
Farmer. After starting the COW on
Eve or six pounds of 1t three days
after freshening the ration may be
raised at the rate Of one-half pound
every other day. and Just occasionally
the increase may be as great as one
pound. II should be remembered that
during the first thirty days II the COW
is in proper condition she will make
as great response to the addition OF
one-half pound or one pound of grain
as she will to four or FIVE pounds. and
by retaining the opportunity for In
creasing the ration more often II Ii

Of good stock. We have never known
of single instance where a man has
made success of the poultry business
to any great degree where he has used
common stuff or mongrels. A very
small per cent of the eggs from COM
mon fowls are fit to sell as first class.
Then you do not get the same value
for your feed. There is no mongrel
or common chicken that will compare
with the egg producing breeds.
Having settled the question of pure
bred stock or mongrel we have next to
consider. the breed, then the variety.
Surely there are enough Of these to
satisfy any taste. Breed is q race of
fowls the members of which maintain
distinct characteristics which they pos

No attempt is made to bring about

an aid to good appetites and heavy

with all the food elements they would

MORE AND BETTER POTATOES
By J. w. Whitehouse

You have been informed through
these columns and by speakers OF
The uecsseisy Of selecting your seed
corn In the flcid. There are as
great or greater reasons why you
should select your seed potatoes the
same way. When digging potatoes
YOU will notice that there are some
hills which have two or three very
fine potatoes. others which have
n great number Of potatoes too small
for use, and still other hills which
have 5 TO 10 nearly uniform, medium
sized potatoes.
II at digging time you viii give
little attention TO the potatoes IN
each hill and will put aside for next
years seed, potatoes from the hills
which produced several medium
sized potatoes you will find If this
is practiced for a few years the
yield Of potatoes will be increased
by half and in some case the yield
has been doubled in three or four
years.
Having selected the seed potatoes
for next year from the best hills
the next thing is TO arrange to keep
them in good condition through the
winter. This is easily and cheaply
done. Select well-drained spot,
dig a hole IL inches TO 2 feet deep
and put in the potatoes rounding
them up nicely in the center
Next cover them with straw (wheat,
rye and over this throw 3 or 4 in
ches of dirt which was removed from
hole. This layer OF dirt is allowed
10 freeze and then another heavier
layer OF straw and dirt piled upon IT
one or two inches thick making a
nice rounded mound. Potatoes
stored in this way will remain in
good condition until the first OF
April. Potatoes for the home use
may be kept in similar manner.
A dry cove often makes a safe and
desirable place to store potatoes.

perhaps more important TO give

that statement up with some facts.
Kentucky imports from other states

thousands OF bushels OF potatoes
each year which means that hun
dreds of dollars are going 10 other
states which should be going into
the pockets Of the farmers OF Ken

the average income per acre for corn
in Kentucky is sii.6s while potatoes
