GUESS HOW MANY HORSES THERE
ARE IN THE UNITED STATES

The following interesting figures
about live stock in the United States
are taken from the current issue Of
Farm and Fireside:
"On January 4, 1915. people were
five times as numerous in the Unit
ed States as horses; and horses were
five times as numerous as mules.
Texas had over twice as many mules
(753.0OO) as Missouri, its closest COM
petitor. Texas also led in cattle
(5,i2i .0OO), having nearly twice as
many as Iowa. Iowa had twice as
many swine (s,720,OO0) as Illinois,
its closest competitor.
Montana and Wyoming are the
two greatest sheep States, each
having about 100000 head. New
Mexico and Ohio come next with
about 100000 apiece.
Rhode Island has $4,000 mich

Farm poultry Is usually very much
neglected because most people think
fowls can find most Of their feed dur
ing the warm weather and farm work
presses and time is precious when any
thing that does not plainly show the
necessity for attention. Is likely to be
left undone.
AS a matter Of fact poultry requires
attention every day In the year, and
there are many duties about the poul-
try yard that call for performance.
especially during the summer months.
I think the most important thing
that calls for attention during the
summer months is the destruction Of
insect pests or measures to prevent
them from appearing at all.
II Is entirely unnecessary to have In
sects about q poultry house. and I
look upon their presence as proof
positive OF carelessness. The very
best way to combat 10 to begin before

Dear Mr.. Spence:
The prospect for n splendid crop Of
apples is unusually good throughout
the State Of Kentucky this year
u is our desire Ia make this the very
best crop ever grown in the State
especially in our demonstration or
chards.
On account Of the unusually wet
season. bitter rot and other fungus
diseases will undoubtedly cause
trouble unless prompt measures are
taken 10 prevent them. The season
for the second brood OF codling moth
is also upon us.
The successful orcbardist always
anticipates trouble and makes prep
aration accordingly. n you are in
district where bitter rot is trouble
some. advise your demonstrators 10
spray their orchards with bordeaux
mixture. Arsenate Of lead should be
used Tor the codling moth. These
two sprays may he combined and
would suggest that you apply them
some time between the fist and 18th
OF July. Urge upon your growers
the necessity OF this spraying for a
clean crop Of fruit cannot be ex-
pected unless steps are taken TO
control the troubles mentioned
above.
Yours very truly,

ALFALFA FOR HOGS.

High as a Pork Producer.
According to a recent bulletin from
the Nebraska experiment station, it
costs cents per pound for feed alone
to make pork when corn is worth 60
cents bushel. 1t was found in most
Of these tests that the use Of such sup
Elementary feeds as Oil meal tankage
and cottonseed meal gave more rapid
gains and greater profits than corn and
alfalfa, although the reverse was true
In some instances.
The most suitable supplementary
feed for corn in fattening hogs seems
to depend on several variable factors.
It Is evident that corn must be supple
mented with some byproduct rich in
protein in order to secure the most
rapid and profitable gains. although
under certain conditions 1t might be
found more profitable in the long run
to depend upon alfalfa alone as a sup
Elementary feed.
