The seed should be sown at the rate
Of 25 to 80 pounds per acre. and If a
hay crop is desired bushel of wheat,
or one-half bushel Of rye should be
sown with IT, 1t should always be
sown broadcast. 1t may be sown
through the wheat compartment OF
the wheat drill and If small grain is
Bown with it, the seed may be mixed
and sown together.
Unless either vetch or garden peas
have been sown on the land it is not
safe to attempt growing it without in
1culation. The best way 10 inoculate
IS by the use of soil from where either
native or hairy vetch has grown sue
ressfully.
There is on the market a variety
known as spring or common vetch.
Many claim IT to be equal to hairy
getch. but this is not true. Common
getch is an absolute failure in Mary
and and farmers should always de
nand hairy vetch when buying seed.

GETTING A NEW COAT.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Most hens are moulting now and will
need as good treatment as you can give
them so that they will be in condition
TO lay as soon as possible.
The method of forcing the moult by
Withholding the feed for a time and
then feeding heavily has largely gone
aut OF use because II was found that
the hens would lay no sooner, II as
oon. as where they we're allowed to
moult naturally.
In order to promote the growth OF
feathers. be sure the feed contains
rlenty OF protein If you have been
seding pretty heavily on beef scraps
you perhaps will not need TO change
the feed much. Some add about 10
Ter cent Of linseed meal to the ration
in order to aid the growth Of feathers.
sunhower seeds, when available. make
e hne addition to the feed at this time.

A Good Hay crop
is a Money Getter
NICHOLAS sCHM1Tz.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Compared with wheat, the value per
aere of the hay crop in this State is
higher and practically equal to that
Of corn. yet the methods commonly EN-
ployed In producing the crop are no
different now from what they were 80
years ago.
As result the yield of the hay dur
ing this time has remained practically
the same while the quality If anything
has deteriorated.
The remedy for this condition is
simple. II 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
fns this than the latter part OF July
Or early AueuAf In the mountain sec
ifons to early September IN the south
srn and eastern counties Of the State
II the seeding cannot be done durins
Or before early September, then the
clover should be left out as 1t is very
apt to winter kill If seeded later.
To be successful the land should b.
plowed as early as possible. and work
ed into a fine. arm seed bed. When
seeded under such conditions full
crops Of first class hay free fron
weeds may be expected the followini
season. The yield will be enougi
higher over seeding the old way. to
pay for the extra labor in preparing
the land. What is more, the second
season the crop win be much better
than II 1t had been seeded In wheat.
good rate of seeding is timothy,
to IL pounds; red clover. to 8 pounds
and red top. to pounds.
II red clover is not doing well on
the farm then to pounds Of alslke
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 othe,
devices for seeding grass, but the
stand Of clover will be a little more
Uniform If it is sown separate. The
ed should always be covered lightly
with a spike tooth harrow, weeder OF
brush drag.

HOME MADE GRAPE
JUICE IS HEAL THt ULL
Makes Use OF Waste Grapes And
Furnishes An inexpensive Table
Dainty.
L. L. BURRELL.
Maryland Agricultural College.


On many farms large quantities Of
grapes go to waste each year. because
they cannot be kept long in the fresh
state. House wives who put up uu-
fermented juice during the grape har-
vest. not only utilize much fruit now
lost, but also add healthful and ap-
petizing product TO their winter stores.
For this purpose, use only clean.
sound, well ripened grapes. If light
colored juice is desired, put the grapes
in clean cloth sack and tie up. Then
hang up securely and twist il. OF let
two persons take hold Of the ends Of
the sack and twist until the greater
part Of the juice is pressed out.
Next gradually heat the juice In .
ioubie boiler. or a stone jar In pan
II hot water, so that the juice does
iot come in direct contact with the
ire, at a temperature OF 1870 to 1876
iegrees Fahrenheit It is best to use
thermometer bus if there is none at
iand, heat the Jslce until It sfeams.

iaraftin to prevent mold germs from

Care should be taken to not heat

WELL-PAcKED PEACHES BRING
BEST PRICES.
How To Put Them Up To Insure
Firm Pack.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.


Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Peaches should be carefully graded,
putting only the largest. well-colored
and unblemished fruit In the frst
grade. The proper placing Of them in
carrier baskets makes all the differ
ence between a good pack and poor
one and between good price and a
moderate price for fruit Of the same
Grade. The best method is that fol-
lowed in making the diamond pack.
rhe general principle of this pack Is
that no peach rests directly on top OF
any other peach. but rather above and
between two other fruits. or one fruit
and the side OF the basket. The mum
Der of fruits per basket In this pack
depends upon their size, but the gen
sral scheme Of arranging them is the
anne and the tip ends should all point
The same direction. With medium
lied fruit the first row across the
basket In the bottom tier has two
fruits, the second row has two, alter
eating with the first two. the third row
nas two alternating with the second,
md the fourth and fifth rows alternate
similarly. The fruits in the middle
tier alternate with those Of the bot
lum tier and those in the top tier
alternate with the middle tier, being
exactly above the bottom tier This
pack requires 80 peaches. With large
fruits 1t requires only two layers to
Ill a basket instead Of three. The
size will determine the number Of
tiers and how the fruits must be ar
taagcd in the basket.

SOWING CRIMSON CLOVER WITH
GRAIN FOR HAY.
NICHOLAS sCHMITz.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Where 1t is desired to NOV crimson
clover for hay 1t is good practice
o SOW with the clover small grain
crop. On the Eastern Shore and ii
Southern Maryland winter oats is be t
suited for this. but wheat is nearly a.
good. The grain prevents lodging to 4
considerable extent, facilitates the cur
ing of the clover hay. in that the mi &
,ure dries out quicker than the clover
alone, and If cooked the small graia
sheds the water better The total yield
Is also increased and while the hay is
iessened a little in feeding value the
mixture is better suited to horses than
the clover alone. The best time to cut
he mixture is when the blossoms on
the clover begin to fall.
The rate Of seeding for the mixture
Is the usual amount of clover as when
seeding 1t alone. but the small grain
should be seeded at about half the
aormal rate or a. little less.

Hairy veteh should be sown the lat.

In the mountain sections. Between

the coastal plain section II may be
seeded between the middle OF August
and the first OF October It should
never be seeded in the spring.

stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have a large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk

Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean; the
shoulders pointed and the backbone
rather prominent. The skin should be
loose and soft to the touch. In select
ing herd bulls either mature animals

their worth as sires or younger ami,
mails from high-testing dams and sires
only should be used. .5.3 IS
The best and surest results will
always follow the use OF mature
sire which has sired heifers with.
good records. A good dairy bull!
should be kept until he is twelve or.
fifteen years old; In fact, as long as
he is a sure sire. Real good 2sires are
SO rare that when we do find one he
should die only Of old age. 4. q
