CALVES BRING BIG
PROFIT TO FARMER
Harry Lands Employs an
Unique Method of Increas-
ing Farm Income.

Many farmers are finding it profit
able to keep few milk cows, milk
ing one or two for their own use, and
allowing the others TO raise veal
calves. For the man who does not
like to milk. and is busy with other
work this may prove good system to
follow.
Farmers living in the vicinity of a
large dairy can often obtain calves
several days old for from 81 to Sc
each. These can be placed with the
COWS, and marketed when they are
six or seven weeks old. A good COW
will give a handsome return during
the year in this manner, at a minimum
expenditure of labor.
AS an example of what can be done
in this way, Harry Lands on the Mid
dleboro pike reports that he has sold
sixty dollars worth of calves in eigh-
teen weeks from a young COW that
produced her first calf this spring
Two of the calves were produced on
his farm and one he bought from a
dairyman for $500.

FEED YOUNG STOCK
TO DEVELOP BONE
Growing Animals Need Sup
Elemental Food With Short
Pastures.

In times of short pasture it will
prove highly profitable to give the
young growing animals, some supple
mental feed to keep them in good con-
dition.
1t is most important to keep the
young animals growing all the time.
1t is at this time that the most eco
nomical gains are put on. The proper
development of bone and muscle,
means a big roomy frame which can
carry the maximum amount of fat and
flesh when placed upon the market.
Calves that are to be placed on the
market as body beef should never be
allowed to lose their baby fat. Any
class of live stock that is allowed to
run on pasture in dry weather, and af.
ter the grass is cropped short, will be
more than likely to lose flesh, and it
is costly to put this gain back on.

feeders. keep their young stuff grow.

To DISCUSS CHOLERA

The Farmers Association of Harri-

at Jacksonburg, Friday, Aug. IA, at
TAB o'clock.
The meeting. will be given over to
the discussion of Hog Cholera. Many
farmers in the neighborhood have ask
ed that such a meeting be held, as
there have been several outbreaks of
the disease in the township this year.
A. D. Cobb OF the Palladium Farm
Service Department, has been invited
to lead in the discussion, and the ques-
ton will then be turned over to the
members for an expression of their
views.

PICK SEED WHEAT.
Careful Selection Pays at
Harvest.

This is the time for farmers to Sc
lect their seed wheat and get it in
shape for planting. 1t Is better to get
the seed of some pure variety and is
known to do Welt in this locality. If
such seed has not been, raised on the
home farm, get it from some neighbor.
1t pays to get seed close to home.
The seed should be carefully clean
ed, and run through the fan until every
small and .shrunken grain is removed.
The large plump and bright colored
berries have the most vitality, and will
produce the best results. It is a decid.
ed advantage to have the seed wheat
free from rye. This is one of the little
things that it pays to look after.

Several inquiries have been receiv-
ed recently regarding the value of
vetch as farm crop.
Vetch belongs to the legume family
| and is a nitrogen gatherer, and is
, rapidly coming into prominence in
! Indiana as cover crop. The winter
vetch is more valuable in this locality,
and may be sowed in the fall with
rye or alone. 1t is hardy plant
sends down a strong root and winters
we'll. 1t makes an early growth in
the spring, and is a good early pasture
crop for sheep, hogs, and cattle. 1t
may be cut and fed green as a soiling
crop to dairy cattle and when cured
makes fairly good hay. One of the
most important uses to which vetch
can be put is as a cover crop to be
plowed under for corn. The great
amount of humus which it supplies,
and it's nitrogen gathering qualities
make it valuable in this respect.
To make a satisfactory growth the
ground should be inoculated with the
particular nitrogen gathering bacteria
that attach to the roots of the vetch
plant. When possible to obtain soil
from an old vetch field, this is easily
done in the same manner as for al
falfa. Vetch has not been grown
much in this locality, and the soil will
be hard to obtain. 1t would be advis-
able to try only small field at first.
and obtain some of the commercial
innOculation from the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Department of Agriculture at
Washington. D. G. In the request
state the amount of seed to be sown,
and the probable date of sowing.
| To Preserve Eggs.
Will you kindly tell me the best way
to preserve eggs for winter use When
liquid glass is used what amount of
water should be used with it, and can
the same solution be used a second
time?
G. D., r. r. 8.
The water glass method is probably
the best for preserving eggs for winter
use. About one quart of water glass
should be diluted with five gallons OF
water. 1t is a good plan to place the
solution in a large stone jar. The
eggs can be placed in the liquid as
they are produced until the jar is
filled within two or three inches of the
top. do not think it would be advis
able to use the solution a second time

HOLD THINNER
HOGS ON FARM
FOR FEEDING
Selling Light Weights at
High Prices Only Serves to
Reduce Future Supply for
Breeding.

The present upward tendency OIL
nrices on all classes of live stock pre-
sents a condition which should give
farmers a great deal OF food for care
full thought.
Unuuestiorably the European war
has had its influence on The specula-
tive tendencies of the market OF the
past week. a part of the present hlgn
prices, however. can be attributed 10
domestic conditions. Locally there IS
a shortage of corn, and some farmers
who are carrying large numbers OF
stock hogs are finding it embarrassing
to secure feed at any price. In the TWO
months prior to the placing OF new
corn on the market, it is usual for hos
prices to be high. These two forces
are responsible for existing condl-
tiCnc. According to local buyers,
prices can be expected to go even
higher il the near future.
Hold Small Hogs.
One of the results will be that the
farmer who has stock hogs weighing
about 100 pounds will be tempted 10
take advantage Of present prices, and
throw them on the market, rearing
that the price will break later on, ana
that more money can be made than py
feeding them high priced corn. 1t Is
usually q great mistake to throw these
light hogs on the market. Only eastern
BUYERS can use them to advantage for
killing purposes They should be held
and fed out, when they will supply the
meat that will make them profitable to
kill and will undoubtedly pay the far
mer for holding them.
Another temptation will be to mar
ket brood sows that are well up in
flesh In times of high prices there
are always large numbers of good
soWs thrown on the market to be
turned into ready money. There is an
economic feature to this practise that
cannot he overlooked. 1t means that
much of the breeding stock on the
farms is being sacrificed, and that un

Success Demands Production

In addition 10 planting only crops

FILLER
OF SMALL VALUE.
Farmers Should Purchase for
Quantity of Real Fertility,
Says Expert.

Farmers are warned not to place
much faith in the rash statements OF
fertilizer agents who recommend their
wares on account of the value of the
filler used.
Filler is placed in fertilizer for me-
chanical reasons and has little fertil-
izing value.
An agent once recommended his
goods because the filler was made of
stock yards manure. and he stated
that it would be a valuable supply of
humus. A normal application of 200
pounds of a 2-S-4 fertilizer would con-
tain % pounds of fertility and -
pounds of filler This filler distribu-
ted over IN acre would mean about six
One-hundredths of an ounce of filler
on every square foot of soil. Surely
such a weak application of humus
would not produce much organic ma
terial in the soil.
Fertilizer should be bought for the
amount of real fertility it contains.

Poultry Hints
Effect Of Early Matching.

Early Matching has an important
bearing on the production of eggs
To produce a large number of eggs in
a given year it is necessary that the
hen make good fall and winter egg
record. This means that she should
be Matched early enough so as to be
fully developed and be laying either in
November or early December. On the
other hand, it is just as important
that she be not Matched so early as to
60 through a fall or early winter
moult. Should she 60 through this
moult she will not recover in time to
produce many eggs until the spring is
on, and the winter egg season over
Eggs bring a higher price in Novem-
Der, December and January than dur
ing any other corresponding period of
the year For this reason the early
laying pullet that produces eggs in
these months shows her owner a
profit.
In the spring the first egg the hen
lays shows most vitality. This is an
important reason for early Matching, if
a big yield is the object.
The early spring months are the near.
est approach to the ideal for growing
young chicks. March. April and May
are usually of such mild average TEN.
peratures that young chicks grow and
thrive more rapidly than at any other
time Of the year. Earlier Matched
chicks do not show the same vitality
owing to the extreme cold, while those
Matched later have their energy large.
ly Slapped by the extreme heat In this
way early Matching has an important
bearing on securing a heavy egg yield,
because the early matches in the
months of March, April and May ma.
ture better and have more vitality
1t enables the breeder also to select
and Gull more carefully. If his flock
does not show the quality he wants,
energy and vitality are lacking and he
has time to Gull down and eliminate
the poor ones before the laying season
begins. thus increasing the average
yield Of his flock
