GOOD USE FOR WASTE
Conservation Of All the Products
Raised on Farm.
Department Of Agriculture DevoSes
Much Time Toward Solving Prob
lem Of Much Importance for
Farmer and Fruit Grower.

For several years the United States
department of agriculture has been
devoting a great deal OF time toward
solving one Of the most important
questions before the American farmer
and fruit grower today. This is the
conservation OF all products on the
farm. letting nothing go to waste.
Special trains with leading govern
ment experts in charge have been sent
out through the country TO demon
strate and lecture on the various ways
BY which the enormous waste OF this
country can be turned into profit.
While many subjects Of great interest
we're discussed there was. perhaps,
nothing Of greater Importance than
the subject OF caring for the millions
of dollars worth Of fruits and vege-
tables that 60 TO waste every year, by
the canning process.

AROUND THE HONEY MAKERS
All Failing or Slow Queens Should BE
Changed Promptly and Breed
only From Very Best.

Comb honey that is 10 be sent to
a distant market should be shipped
before cold weather, since the combs
become extremely fragile when cold.
Change an failing or slow queens
promptly, and breed from the best
you can secure, thus raising the
standard Of your stock step by step
and improving the average year by
year.
The young bees. hatched from Au-
gust 1 on, constitute the colony to be
wintered. and for this reason It is
wise to see that much brood is ready,
even II you have TO resort to stimu-
lative feeding.
AS a rule bees cast a prime swarm
as soon as the first queen cell is
sealed. unless prevented by bad
weather; therefore. the first young
queen may be expected to emerge on
the eighth day from the first swarm.
When the hives are we'll distribute

can be more easily handled. It seems
TO improve their disposition, especial.
ly II there are some trees. shrubs, or
the like about IT, Robbing is not SO

that always helps to make the bees

TASK OF DIGGING POTATOES
Maintained by Some Flavor and Pal
atsbillty Lost by Washing Cling
Ing Dirt From Tubers.

Where potatoes are very dirty
when taken from the field, some grow
ers wash all the soil on them. 9th
ers maintain that Il ruins their flavor
and palatability. They are certainly
far more cleaner and more desirable
to handle when the hose has been
turned on them, and the clinging,
hardened dirt washed Off.
II the ground is fairly dry when
they are dug, and II they are allowed
to take the air and the wind for a
while, they will usually be clean
enough to do without washing. There
is every reason for digging them dur
ing such weather conditions.
Potato digging should be made a
sort Of an odd job one that can be
done at any time when there Is moth
ing more pressing to do. The potato
crop should be an important one, and
any farmer who is forced to buy po
tatoes for table use should look upon
himself as temporarily disgraced.
Enough potatoes are spoiled everJ
year by careless digging to feed a city
OF the second class for twelve months
Only in communities where the 20
tato Is the main and staple crop II
there any real care shown in digginl
and handling this very important foo'
crop.

BREED HORSES FOR PROFIT
Or. Alexander Urges Home Production
Of Pure-Brod Stations 70 Re-
place the Grades.

The principles to be followed BY
farmers in improving their horse
stock are: The use OF sound, pure
bred sires OF a particular breed. the
use OF sound mares. the feeding and
care OF the mare and foal and the
working OF the stations regularly. DIR.
Alexander. OF the Wisconsin expert
ment station. further urges the home
production OF pure-bred stations TO
replace the grades, mongrels and
scrubs too often used At present. He
urges that grade horses replace scrubs
in farm teams. The organization OF
community associations viii greatly
facilitate the promoting OF horse
breeding and the encouragement OF
the industry may be furthered by
prizes at country fairs for pure-b-ed
stations, mares and colts.
The evil effects which result from
the use OF unusual sires and dams and
the transmission OF hereditary dis
eases are especially emphasized II
should be easily possible TO increase
the value OF Wisconsin horses at leas
$40 per head during the next five
years. the author points out, by th'
use OF sound stations and mares, anC
this would mean an addition OF a
least 100000 TO the total value o
the horse stock OF the state.

Packing is equally as important as

important points In connection with
this work worthy OF consideration,
probably the most important OF which
is honesty. Every growers pack

SUMMER RATION FOR HORSES
Feeding Ear or sheIled Corn Would

ina-One Good Combination.

II corn must be fed to the horses,
grinding It will not pay, unless the
horses have poor teeth, in which chse
It might be advisable. Feeding the
ear or shelled corn would be the more
desirable method OF feeding.
Crushed corn and cob meal is not
as good because OF the cost Of crush
ing. and the amount OF food value Sc
cured from the cob is so small that
Il does not make up for the energy
required to digest 30 much crude f.

A combination Of corn. bran and a
little oil meal make a good summer
ration for horses. Feeding a 1000
pound horse about ten pounds OF corn
and three pounds Of bran per day
would be equivalent to IA pounds
Of oats, although it contains a little
more carbohydrates and less protein
thus making little wider ration. A
small amount OF oil meal WOULD oftsei

the drinking vessels kept clean.
Don't, II you use brooder, allow II
to get too hot or too cold; either is a
fatal mistake. See to II also that the
chicks do not overcrowd and trample

VARIOUS FEEDS For HORSES
Desirable to Know Value Of Different
Rouehsgcs In Determining on
Economical RatIona

The problem OF feeding work horses
Is one involving the economical pro
duction of energy and maintenance Of
health. Il IS OF considerable impor.
lance to know how much hay .ahd how
much grain a farm horse at hard labor
should receive in order that he may
work with the greatest efficiency and
economy With high priced grains It
is very desirable to know the relative
value OF different roughages in order
that economy may be practlced in
making up a ration for work horses.
In order TO determine some OF these
points a number Of experiments have
been conducted at the Illinois station
ten teams being used IN the tests. Tith
the following results:
But little difference was observed In
the value OF clover and timothy hay
when fed in conjunction with corn,
oats. oil meal and wheat bran, the
difference being slightly in favor OF
clover.
The results show a slight saving due

BAD PRACTICE OF FARMERS
One Cannot Afford TO Burn Corn
Stalks and Put Nothing Back in
Form Of Humus.
oBy B. Z. sARA1


II always makes me feel sad to see
smoke arising from the burning corn
stalks in the field, because the farmer
is burning up his land and doesn't
know IT, How can we expect to burn
up stock which the soil produces and
put nothing back in the way of humus,
and then hope to keep our soil in good
condition?
Maybe I'm wrong when i say that
farmers do not know what they're do
ing, for doubtless some Of them do
know that it is a bad practice, but
burning stalks is easier than disking
or cutting them Up, and they are
nuisance to plow them under. Some
farmers say there is no benefit in
plowing under stalks, but l cannot
figure It out that way, because I do
not see how We can go robbing our
soil and keep up the fertility. 1t costs
very little to keep a sheep and a
flock Of so sheep is worth money.

Rate. Of Seeding.

At the Kentucky station the results
OF a test OF rates Of seeding and
methods OF planting are regarded as
indicating that in a very favorable
season three stalks per hill will give
a higher yield than two stalks, and
that drilled corn yields better than
corn planted in hills, when the rates
Of seeding are equal. When the corn
was drilled, however. planting IL
inches apart, equivalent to four stalks
per hill, gave a still higher yield in
1910.
