FEW CAUSES FOR POOR GRAIN
Fungi and Bacteria in Seed and Soil
injure and Destroy Roots Of Plant,
Says an Expert.

The Introduction of harmful fungi
and bacteria into the soil is an i'm
portant cause of deterioration of
grains after continued cropping, de-
clared Fl. Bolley. professor of bot
any. North Dakota Agricultural col
lege. in a recent address at the Col
lege OF Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin. Professor Bolley is
one of the most eminent plant path
ologists in the country, his early
studies on the potato scab and flax
wilt, and his later investigations Of
the diseases of cereals having made
him widely known among scientists.
He believes that fungi and bacteria
resident in the seed, and in the soil,
injure and destroy the roots OF plants
and otherwise affect succeeding crops.
The remedy for this is not primarily
fertilization. nor a naturalization of
soil toxins. but the combating of
fungi and bacteria and by means of
sanitary measures such as seed Sc
lection and disinfection, and crop ro-
tation.

Gold Frame.

tomless box is placed and on top of
this box or frame are placed the sash
and glass. All should be close fitted
to prevent the entrance of cold air and
frost.
The surface of the manure is cover
ed with good rich garden soil to the
depth of four or five inches. The ma
nure will begin to heat within week
after the bed is completed. The seed
should not be sown for several days
after the bed is finished. If very cold
weather ensues after plants have come
up it may be necessary to cover the
glass on very cold nights with blankets
or mating. 1t may be necessary to
shade the plants on the brightest sun
niest days at midday when the air in
the hotbed may become too hot. Do
not give the bed too much water,
which is worse than too little. Plants
usually started in the farmers hotbed
are lettuce, radish, tomato. cucumber.
melon. eggplant and cabbage.

FEEDING MEAT TO POULTRY
Green Bone Freshly Cut Just Before
Feeding Is Quite Beneficiai-Judg-
ment Must Be Used.

Meat in some form must be fed to
poultry. They must have animal mat
ter. Fowls running on free ranges
where insects are plentiful obtain
sufficient supply of animal matter but
those kept in closer quarters must be
given this food in another form. Finely
chopped fresh meat is an excellent
bone and muscle builder for the young
stock, but should not be fed more
often than two or three times a week.
Green bone freshly cut just before
feeding, is equally as beneficial. but
also be fed with judgment as to how
much and how often. Meat foods as
sist feather. bone, muscle and comb
development, consequently too much
is apt to cause too much forcing along
these lines
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1914-05-22
WINTERING THE LIVE STOCK
Profits Are Greatly Reduced by Cling
Ing to Old Cows and Sheep Long
Past Their Usefulness.

The keeping of old COWS and sheep
long past their usefulness will largely
reduce the profits of the dairyman and
farmer The better method would be
to have them served, give shelter and
feed and when fresh sell the COW with
the calf. They may be cheaply win
tered on fodder, wheat straw and sec
ond-crop clover hay. Old sheep should
have been sold in the early fall for
what they will bring. 1t seldom pays
to winter them. Before the COWS come
fresh they should be given a little
grain, say four quarts of wheat bran
and one quart of flaxseed meal well
mixed together. Divide into two equal
parts; give one part in the morning
and the other half in the evening to
each one. This feed will loosen the
hide and greatly improve the appear
ance, of the stock. Card and brush
them OFF every morning. This will re-
move the loose hair. The buying of
thin cows and milked-out COWS from
dairymen who cannot afford to winter
such stock, is found to be a profitable
business by farmers having plenty of
rough fee, such as fodder. straw and
second-crop clover and stable grasses
The mild winter has been great ad-
vantage to dairymen and farmers short
of grain and feed, as much less food
was needed to keep the stock. Econ
omy must be practiced; no grain or
forage should be wasted. Fodder fed
to cattle under cover, having the sheds
heavily bedded and lined on the north
side to keen out the cold winter winds,
may be wintered in good condition.
The fodder will last longer and feed
more stock where fed in small quanti-
ties in connection with straw and sec
ond-crop hay.
