GREAT VALUE OF
LEGUMINOUS CROPS
Results Obtained From Their Use
Are Far More Striking in Poor
Soils Than in Rich.

Investigations prove the high value
OF the common legume crops whether
used in rotation or as green manure
crops. Results obtained from their
use are far more striking in poor soils
than In rich soils. Perhaps the safest
rule to apply where there Is a choice
OF two legumes is to use the one which
gives the largest total yield per acre,
or II these are about equal to use the
one whose seed is cheapest.
The blowing under of green manure
crops as regular operation is seldom
carried on except In orchards. In this
case there can be but little doubt that
the operation is highly profitable.
With field crops the plowing under Of
a green manure crop is seldom justi.

lands or at considerable intervals, be-
cause ordinarily 1t is far more profit.
able to utilize the crop for feed and
then to return the manure to the soil.

field crops used in the United States,

clover soy beans. peanuts. Canada

ably in the United States, a Kansas
farmer has shown. L. M. Crawford,
q rancher near Cottonwood Falls. has
been 80 successful in producing these
furs by crossing Karakule sheep from
Asia on native long wool breeds that
the Kansas Agricultural college, see-
ing the possibilities of an indstry of
much promise. has entered into a CO.
operation with the Kansas rancher for
the development of the new farming.
The agricultural college will send its
expert assigned to the fur farming
experiment, DR.. r. X. Nabours. to Box
hara, Central Asia, this summer to
study Karakule fur farming in Its ma
tive country. The knowledge thus
gained will be applied in perfecting
sheep fur industry on the Kansas
ranch which, 1t is thought, will be of
the utmost Importance to United
States farmers. DR.. Nabours will leave
In May and will be gone four months
Crawford has large part of the
only Karakule herd ever brought to
the United States. He is the pioneer
y the attempt to grow the much de-
sired Asiatic furs in this country. On
800 white Lincoln and Cotswold ewes
he is crossing purebred and half-blood
Karakule rams. Pelts from the
lambs when only few days old have
been sold on New York markets for
SO to $40 apiece. The pelts are valu-
able even If the lambs are born dead
or die soon after birth. The i'm

Trials Have Proved That Mixture
Of Artificial Manure Produces
Excellent Yields.

Numerous experiments have proved
the high value Of mixture Of arti-
ficial manure for potatoes. consisting
Of four hundredweight Of superphos-
phate and two hundredweight OF sui
phate of ammonia and two hundred
weight OF sulphate Of potash per acre.
This dressing should give good
crop. even when no farmyard ma
nure is available, though ten tons
of that manure per acre is a valu-
able addition When the last is ap-
Piled the sulphste of ammonia and
potash may be reduced to half a
ton each. Trials have proved that
these manures produce their best re-
suits when placed In drills under the
seed potatoes. Growers who plant
only few rods may have difficulty in
getting locally small quantities of the
artificial manures named; but there
are some large town firms who sell
them by the bags. A ready-made po
tato manure from firm Of high repu-
tation may answer equally we'll. al

The Elbert County tribune., 1914-06-12

portance of this fact Is realized when
1t is considered that now the thou
sands of lambs that die in this coun-
try every year are complete losses.
Nearly 600 curly. lustrous black
lambs bearing valuable furs had ar
rived on the Kansas fur farm frora
April l. One hundred and fifty Of
these were from half-blood Karakule-
Lincoln rams on Lincoln and Cots
void ewes. The pelts of these lambs
we're hardly distinguishable from
those of the purebred Karakule on
Lincolns and Cotswolds. This fact,
and the further fact that only five Of
the $50 we're white and three spot
ted. are considered the most impor
tant of this years results, inasmuch
as 1t proves that a half-blood Kara.
kule ram which can be bought for
$3.50 will bring lambs with pelts al
most as valuable as a purebred Kara,
kule which sells for $1,000 to $1,000.
Sheepmen, therefore. could get a start
in fur production on very small In
vestment.
Aside from its fur-bearing charac-
teristics the Karakule sheep has ex.
cellent mutton qualities, the Kansas
test has proved. Crossed on Ameri.
can breeds this strain causes a re-
markable increase in weight and
seems absolutely to breed out the
woolly or musklike flavor of the meat
of native sheep The Karakule also is
a very hardy sheep. In fact It's many
desirable qualities. proved since its i'm
portation to America, have convinced
the Kansas college experts of the ad:.

ford farm are being made to that end.

VALUE OF SILAGE
TO THE PRODUCER
Great Saver Of Grain Regardless
of Whether Fed to Stock Cat )
tie or Fattening Animals.

There is no roughage which is of
more importance to the producer OF
beef cattle than silage. The value of
silage to the beef producer varies con-
siderahly and Is dependent upon
large number of other factors. II
rough folders are scarce or are high
priced. II the grain is high priced, or
II the grain Is 30 near good market
that much of It can be readily sold,
silage will have greater value than
II the opposite conditions exist. 1t is
great saver of grain regardless of
whether it is to be fed to stock cattle
or fattening cattle. 1t will lessen the
grain feeding by practically the same
amount as Is contained In the silage.
The value will also depend somewhat
upon the kind of cattle to which 1t ia
to be fed. II there is an abundance OF
rough fodder which cannot be marb
eted. silage will not be 30 valuable.

GREEDY HOGS ARE
MOST DESIRABLE
Breeders Might Well Devote
Themselves to Developing
Appetite Instead Of Points.

The Oregon agricultural station has
found out by actual feeding tests that
the hog which eats most greedi1y is
the most profitable. Thirty pigs were
divided into three lots. the heaviest
eaters In one lot, and the others grad
ed according to their capacity for con-
suming feed.
A hundred hogs like the heaviest
eaters. at the rate of gain made and
present prices. would make profit Of
s297.65, or almost exactly So a head.
A hundred like the poorest feeders
would have made profit of s115.65. or
only little more than a dollar a
head They were evenly graded as
to size and sex. II there is this great
difference between tie heavy eating
hogs and the light eaters-and most
hog growers will agree that the breed
ers might well devote themselves to
breeding appetite in hogs. instead of
color or fancy points. If the appe-
lite makes the profits. breed appetite.

Anticipation.


One summer / chanced to be back
in the ridges Of Tennessee" said
United States Senator Blair Lee of
Maryland. as he leaned back in his
chair. and couple of mountaineers
got into an argument. High words
led to blows. and one of the men was
killed. One of the party volunteered
to ride on ahead to the dead mans
cabin and break the news to the
widow.
"She was seated at a table eating
apple-dumplings when the man rode
up. He broke the news as gently as
possible. The woman listened quietly
with dumpling poised in the air half
way to her mouth. When the man had
finished, she stuffed the dumping into
her mouth and said:
q 'You-all jest wait till l finish this
hyer dumplin' an then you-all'll hear
some hollerin'.'"
