+ Good Hay Crop
is a Money Getter
Can De Incurred BY Up-To-Date
Methods OF Soil Preparation
and Seeding.
NICHOLAS SCHMITz.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Compared with wheat, the value per
acre of the hay crop in this State is
higher and practically equal to that
pf corn. yet the methods commonly en-
ployed in producing the crop are no
different now from what they were so
years ago.
As a result the yield of the hay dur
Ing this time has remained practically
the same while the quality II anything
has deteriorated.
The remedy for this condition is
simple. It is to be found In change
Of cultural methods Instead Of seed
Ing timothy In the fall with wheat. and
adding clover In the early spring, the
wheat should be seeded without the
grass, and after harvest. the stubbles
should be plowed down and timothy
and clover seeded without a nurse
crop. There is no better time for do
Ing this than the latter part Of July
or early August In the mountain sec
tions to early September in the south
ern and eastern counties Of the State.
# the seeding cannot be done during
or before early September. then the
clover sn0uld b laft out as It is very
apt to winter RAJ il seeded later.
To be successful the land should be
!, plowed as early as possible, and work
led into q fine. Arm seed bed. When
Reeded under such conditions full
crops OF first class hay free from
weeds may be expected the following
season. The yield win be enough
higher over seeding the old way, to
pay for the extra labor in preparing
! the land. What Is more, the second
season the crop will be much better
than IL it had been seeded In wheat.
A good rate Of seeding is timothy. 8
to IL pounds; red clover, 8 to pounds.
and red top, 2 to 8 pounds,
II red clover is not doing well on
the farm then 4 to 6 pounds Of alsike
clover should be substituted for the
red clover.
The seed may be mixed together
and sown through the grass seeding
attachment OF the wheat drill, or other
devices for seeding grass, but the
stand of clover will be little more
uniform If it is sown separate. The
seed should always be covered lightly
with spike tooth harrow, weeder or
brush drag.

FIGHTING MITES.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The warm weather of the summer
months is particularly favorable to
she growth of insect pests of poultry
~ bid especially to the red mite which
anoys the birds while on the roosts.
his creature not only initiates the
birds by marching around on their
bodies, but he bites hole in the skin
and sucks the blood. This is why he
is red In the morning after his nights
feed. and is why he is given the name
red mite"
It is no great trouble to subdue
these pests If one keeps after them
AS they stay in the house during the
day hiding under the roosts and in the
cracks we find it simple matter to
keep them in check and to destroy
them If the treatment Is kept up regu
larly. Painting the roosts and nests
with kerosene oil once a week while
the house is infested and once a month
thereafter win keep flock free from
their ravages.
Several proprietary products for kill
Ing mites are on the market and these
are usually effective II directions are

After the strenuous work of mat
hatching, and caring for the young
chicks you are apt to lay back and
take it easy just as soon as the birds
get to the age where they do not die
off as consequence of every little
neglect. wish to caution you, how
ever, not to do this If you expect best
results next winter While it is true
that the evil results of neglect do not
show up so prominently now, they
nevertheless are present and win show

will lay well in the spring when every.
