THE BEST TIME TO PRUNE
(By G.. A. Keffer, Division OF Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)

(By c. A. Keffer, Division OF Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
Before trees come into bearing they
are best pruned as the buds swell in
the spring
Peaches my be pruned at any time
while dormant, and in large orchards
the work had best be begun in Deem
Der, in order to be sure of finishing 1t.
Never neglect peach pruning.
Apples in bearing are best pruned
in late April or early May, about the
time the first leaves are full grown.
This will permit the formation during
the season of fruit buds for the fol-
lowing year.
The plum is pruned very much like
the peach, but less severely, and the
cherry requires the least pruning of
all fruits. Plum and cherry are best
pruned as the buds swell in early
spring.
Grapes should be pruned as soon as
possible after the leaves fall, and late
pruning is undesirable because the
vines bleed badly after the sap starts.
Contrary to general opinion, vines
very seldom If ever bleed to death.

MANY ADVANTAGES OF
THE SUMNER SILO

(By G. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.}
A small silo for summer feeding is
one OF the best means of keeping up
the milk flow of the dairy herd. Few
dairymen have sufficient pasture for
their herds during the hot, dry months
of midsummer, and, as a result, the
milk flow usually decreases.
More COWS can be fed from the same
acreage by the use of the silo than by
pasturing. There is no waste from
tramping down Of the food, and the
COWS are not exposed to the hot sun
and flies. An excellent plan is to have
a silo small in diameter SO that some
silage can be fed every day during the
summer, If it should be needed. Many
dairymen now have two silos-a large
one for winter and small one for
summer.
The dairy with plenty of good silage
is very largely independent of weather
conditions. There Is seldom season
when he can not grow fair crop of
SlldS6 COEu1 duu Lu6Io are low 0u1u-
mers when he could not make more
money from his herd If the dry, short
pastures were supplemented with a
ration of corn silage.
From twenty to thirty pounds Of
silage would be fair daily ration for
a cow if she has some pasture. About
two and one-half to three inches
should be fed off of the surface of the
silo daily during the hot weather, in
order to keep the silage sweet and
free from mold. Allowing an average
ration of twenty-five pounds per day
for the six summer months, herd Of
twenty COWS would require forty-five
tons of silage, and silo 10x30 feet
will be required. From four to six
feet should be added to the silo to
allow for settling of the silage. For
a herd of thirty COWS, 81 tons would
be needed, and silo 1890 would be
required.

BUYING THE BEEF BULL
A QUESTION OF TYPE
tBy R. NJ. Murphy, Division Of Exten-
sion, University Of TENNESSEE

sion, University Of TENNESSEE
The buying Of a beef bull is not
nearly so much a question Of breed
as of type. Whether an animal has a
good top line and a good underline,
with plenty of width and depth and a
good quarter is Of much more import
ance than whether he is Shorthorn,
Hereford or an Angus. 1t is very i'm
portant in any case that he be of pure
breeding and comes of line OF good
producers. A bull of scrub parentage
might be a first-class individual in
every respect, but we should hardly
expect him to transmit his excellent
qualities, because he did not inherit
them honestly. His offspring will al
most invariably give him away. We
can never judge an animal except by
his offspring, but our best guarantee
lies in a good pedigree. A good pedl-
gree is one in which the immediate
ancestors are animals of Importance.
Farther back than six generations the
influence is practically nothing.
As we become better acquainted
with the different breeds we find that
neither Of them has any particular adj
vantages over the other. A great
many people change from one breed
to another because Of a desire to
have something different, and more
frequently than otherwise, to have
changed was mistake, especially II
the change meant the introduction OF
breed entirely new to a community
which had up to the time favored a
single breed. A man introducing and
trying to popularize new breed is
at serious disadvantage because he
generally has but a few animals to
work with and he finds no ready sale
for the surplus stock he may wish to
dispose Of. 1t is much better business
to select the breed the community IA
vors.
Select an animal of good proper
lions, low down, blocky, straight top
and underline, with plenty of depth
and width; a good width of chest,
strength in heart girth, low down In
flank, and we'll developed quarters,
with just as little head and neck and
legs as possible.

namely: the production Of both meat
and eggs Birds of this type are most
generally kept on American farms
Fowls of this class are good layers
good weighers, and good payers, They
hold a medium place in nearly all re-
spects between the egg and meat type
in some degrees combining the good
qualities of both. They are quiet in
disposition, mature quickly, are good
sitters, and good foragers.
With proper feeding, housing, and
attention, they have proven their
merits and intense value to their
breeders.

WY WON'T THE BUTTER
COME ASKS HOUSEWIFE
(By C. A. Hutton, Division of Exten'
sion. University of Tennessee.)

:
sion, University of Tennessee.)
This is a question often heard in
the farm home at this season of the
year. There are several conditions
which cause difficult churning, but dur
ing the winter season, when most dit
fculty is found, it is likely caused
from one or more of the following con
ditions:
Milk or cream from COWS well ad,
Vanced in the period of laclation, or
those nearly dry, is harder to churn
than cream from some cows when
fresh. The farm COW is often nearly
dry during the winter months, and on
most farms, she is fed on dry feed.
The butter fat is harder, and hence
the cream is harder to churn than
when the COW is fresh and running on
a good pasture.
Probably the most frequent cause of
difficult churning is that of churning
cold cream. This often happens in
the winter time. There is no certain
temperature at which to churn; but,
this will have to be determined in this
way: Churn at whatever temperature
the cream will churn in twenty to
thirty minutes. This may vary under
different conditions as much as ten
degrees, but under average conditions
a higher temperature will be needed in
winter than in summer.
Sour cream will churn more readily
than will sweet cream, other things be-
ing equal. In cold weather the cream
is not apt to be thoroughly soured.
If it does not sour by the time that
a sufficient quantity is accumulated
for churning, the temperature should
be raised to about 70 degrees and held
there for a few hours. 1t may be
necessary in some cases to add lit
tie sour butter milk from a previous
churning to start the cream souring.
If barrel churn is used, 1t should
not be filed more than one-third to
one-half full, in order that the cream
win have room to become thoroughly
agitated in the process of churning.

LIME AND CLOVER

(By J. C. McAmis, Division of Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Almost everybody believes that
clover needs lime. Many farmers are
trying to get the combination. The
mistake has often been made that the
lime has been applied to the surface
on old clover stands, or soon after
new ones have been seeded. The re-
suit has been disappointing.
Lime should be mixed with the top
few inches of soil before the clover is
sown The lime tends to go into the
soil, but the clover often dies for the
want of it before 1t has had time to
take effect.

ALFALFA AND RED CLOVER MIXED
(By ]. G. McAmis, Division of Exten

(By J. G. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
A lack Of proper incubation Is one
of the common causes of failure with
alfalfa. Red clover seldom, If ever,
fails from this cause. Why? Because
the red clover germ has been scattered
almost everywhere by the simple pro,
cess of frequent sowing of clover.
The same end may be accomplished
for alfalfa. Mix small quantity OF
alfalfa seed with all the clover or
grass that is sown this spring and
fall, and you have the safest method
Of incubation known. One or two
pounds per acre is sufficient to &C
complish 1t.
Most of the plants will die, but II
conditions are at all favorable for the
clover, enough alfalfa win survive to
infect the soil.

HOW ONE FARMER is INCREAS-
ING HIS BEEF CATTLE PROFITS.
(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-
- sion. University Of Tennessee.)

(By r. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-
- sion, University of Tennessee.)
Butter fat is worth about thirty
raiser in East Tennessee approaching
this fact, and also the fact that his
baby calves do as well on skim milk
fresh from the separator as when
sucking their dams, has taken to milk
Ing his cows, separating the cream
from the milk, and shipping it to the
nearby creamery Three pounds of
corn will easily replace one pound of
butter fat in the Calls ration, at cost
of only four cents instead of thirty.
Is this twenty-six cents worth the trou-
BILE? Suppose his cows produce on the
average only one hundred and fifty
pounds of butter fat in year, or one
half pound of fat per day for ten
months. This, at thirty cents per
pound, means forty-fve dollars per
COW, or enough to pay for her feed and
care, leaving her calf clear profit.
This man does not live near the
railroad either. The produce merchant
makes regular trips through the coun-
try gathering up butter and eggs, and
now instead of selling him the surplus
butter at fifteen cents per pound, he
gives him ten cents per can for haul
ing the cream to the railway station
and returning the can. Now instead
of selling a product which winds up in
the oleomargarine factory, even though
1t may leave home in good condition,
his cream is manufactured into first
class butter in the creamery forty
miles away, and he gets paid for q
first class product.
