ming, it is not the only benefit to, be
derived By reducing the tree crop
this year, there is more likelihood of a
good crop next year. Much of the So
called habit Of alternate bearing in
apple trees is due to their overbearing
one year and recuperating the next.
Many broken limbs could be averted
by proper thinning. and much labor
saved in propping.
For the best results the thinning
should commence Immediately after
the June drop 1t Is natural to expect
that the sooner the remaining fruit
has the entire support of the tree, the
better the results will be. Broken
limbs may be prevented If the thin
ming is done in August, but the other
benefits will not be so pronounced.
In other words, less of the trees
energies will be thrown away and more
turned to the remaining fruit II the
thinning is done early in the season.
AS to what extent the fruit should
actually be thinned is very largely .
local problem. It depends upon such
conditions as soil, age of trees, vari-
eties, cultivation and pruning.
Generally thinning the fruit to a
minimum distance of to 6 inches.
gives satisfactory results. Trimmed
fruit is larger and usually better col
ored and favored than unthinned
fruit, and the yield Is just ts large
in bulk and sells at higher price.
The fruit must all be picked some
time, and the culls are more quickly
and more easily removed at thinning
time than at harvesting time. The
average cost Of thinning is about 1Oc.
per tree"

BUSINESS RECORDS NECESSARY
TO SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
Dairy Production Much Increased In
Hartford County Herd.
G. E. WOLCoTT,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The dairy farmer is producer and
a manufacturer. He produces the raw
material in the form of feed; and from
the feed manufactures finished prod
uct The finished product may be milk,
cream or butter. The producing end
Of the business may be successful;
that is the farmer may growsthe crops
cheaply enough SO that the market
price will show profit over the cost
of production However, if business
methods are not used in changing the
raw material into the finished product
enough may be lost to wipe out the
profit from growing the crops. The
crops when turned over to the dairy
COW should be charged to her at their
market value; and system of records
should be kept to determine whether
she is using the feed so as to return
a profit. The manufacturing end of
dairy farming should be profitable as
well as the producing end.
The individuality of the cow and
the method of feeding her are the fac
tors which. to a great extent. deter
mine whether or not she is profitable.
Where no records of production have
been kept, there are sure to be some
COWS that do not return profit for
their feed By disposing of these
COWS, the average production Of the
herd viii be increased. Some cows
are fed more than they require; others
are fed less than they require. If the
feed, If adjusted so that each COW is
receiving the feed she requires, the
production and profit will both be in
creased.
The advantages that may be ex-
pected when records of production are
kept are shown by the results of the
Hartford County Cow Testing Associa-
tion, which has completed three years
work in record keeping. The first
year the average cow produced 4.786
pounds of milk, 234 pounds of fat, the
profit above the cost of feed amounted
to $3.50. During the first year the
lowest producing cows were sold.
Better methods of feeding and absence
of the poorest" cows increased the
production the second year to 5,248
pounds of milk, 264 pounds of fat.
The profit above the cost of feed was
$6S.3S. The production the third year
was still further increased, the average
being SITS pounds of milk, 276 pounds
of fat, with profit above the cost of
feed amounting to $76.80.
These records clearly show that the
production and profit may be increased
from year to year by using business
methods in the manufacturing end of
the dairy farming industry.

LABOR AND ART CLAsHED.
The Battle Was Rather One Sided and
Labor Won the Might.


Among the experiences which Sir
Frederick Cowen, the eminent compos-
er, relates in his book 'My Art and
My Friends" is the following: Once
while conducting in Melbourne ter
rible noise Of hammering started over
head as soon as the concert began.

writes Sir Frederick; $50 did the noise.
Thinking it was over, I began again;
SO did the noise. then sent mes
senger with polite request that the
noise should cease. After about ten
minutes, during which the hammering
grew more and more persistent, the
messenger returned, and l said to him:
Did you give them my messageT
Yes, sir
"sAnd what was their answerT
They said, "Tell Mr.. Cowen we've

When King John of France, captured
at Agincourt. was forced to pay to Ed
ward Ill. of England ransom of
100000 gold crowns to effect his re-
lease he was left without precious
metal for coins or decorations. So he
found it necessary to pay the palace
expenses with leather money. He also
used leather medals when he wished to

FIRE RISKS ON FARMS.
Safety First Should Be 40 Much the
Rule There as Elsewhere.

Safety First Should Be 40 Much the
Rule There as Elsewhere.
A contributor to Farm and Fireside
shows how appalling fire risks are on
farms. He tells how to reduce some
Of these fire risks and writes in part
as follows:
'The inveterate smoker is about as
dangerous as walking stick Of dyna-
mite. It makes me shudder to see a
man smoking around the farm build
ings. One man / know never will for
get the way he was run of the farm
when l caught him smoking ciga-
rette while stacking hay.
"Another dangerous practice Of which
the average man Is guilty is that Of
carrying ordinary matches loose In his
pockets. He should carry either safe
ty matches or keep the ordinary kind
in metal box.
"On most farms the lantern is still
the usual light for working about the
buildings after dark. A good way to
keep it clean and safe is, first, to take
out the burners and clean them by
boiling in strong soapsuds. This will
keep the ventilating passages Of the
burner working properly. Then wipe
all leaking or spilled oil off the base.
'Never set a lantern down. Either
hold it or hang it up. Then when it is
accidentally struck it win swing In
stead of upsetting."

become sick. In other outbreaks the
disease runs chronic course, hogs re-
naming sick for many weeks, and
finally recovering. Even in the acute
outbreaks some of the individuals may
show this chronic form of the disease.
But In these chronic cases where re-
covery does finally occur the animals
are never thrifty. If they were young
when they were affected they remain
stunted, If they were full grown when
attacked they never fatten properly.
1t is to be recommended that
there should be as little communica-
tion as possible between any place
where hog cholera is known to exist
and all neighboring places.
The disposal of the carcasses of all
hogs that have died of hog cholera is
also a most important matter. Every
hog cholera carcass should be burned or
deeply buried. ard in the latter case
the carcass should be thickly covered
with quick lime before the dirt is
shoVeIed in the pit But burning is
the most efieacious and is easy to do.

SOY BEANS WELL SUITED 10
MARYLAND
silent YleIders OF Both Hay and
Seed--PIant After Corn.
NICHOLAS SCHULTZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

In Maryland the soy beans are just
beginning to receive serious cOnsidera-
tion as general farm crop in few
locations. They are well adapted to
Maryland climate and soil. They will
grow anywhere corn will grow. and
like corn, thrive best on rich, loan
soils. 1t Is, however, on soils too poor
to grow corn profitably that soy beans
will bring the greatest net profit. On
soils of this character. when inoculated
and fertilized with little inexpensive
fertilizer, they will produce nearly as
much forage and as much as or more
seed when grown on rich land.
Generally speaking, soy beans re-
quire the same kind of preparation Of
tie seed bed as corn; and, as in the
case Of corn, it is better to thoroughly
prepare the seed bed before planting.
than to have it poorly prepared and
depend upon cultivation for getting
the soil into proper condition.
Where seed production is the object,
soy beans should be planted in rows
"a to 36 inches apart to allow for cul-
tivation. When planted In this man
ner. one bushel Of seed Is enough for
2 or acres. The planting may be
done with corn planter or with a
wheat drill regulated for planting 2
bushels of oats or COW peas per acre
and having the proper number Of seed
holes closed SO as to give rows the
desired distance apart. The aim
should be to get the plants about 2
inches apart in the row. The cultiva-
tion and the implements for doing this
are the same as for corn.
For hay production the beans should
be sown broadcast at the rate Of III
bushels per acre, and for this purpose
there is no implement better suited
than the wheat drill The seed should
never be covered more than inch
deep except in very sandy soil. where
It may be covered 2 inches.
Soy beans may be planted from any
time after corn planting is finished
until July 18th, depending, of course.
upon the variety, location and for the
planted. From June LIST to goth is the
ideal time for planting. For hay and
seed it is best to plant the forepart Of
June to insure good curing weather
for the hay and to insure plenty Of
time for late varieties to mature seed
before frost. For late fall hog-pasture
and for turning down as a green
manure crop they may be planted as
late as July 18th, II an early variety
is used.
Few Maryland soils are naturally in
oculated for soy beans and since these
beans win not thrive WELL without be-
ing inoculated, except onSyery fertile
soil, it is necessary to inoculate when
ever planting for the first time. To
accomplish this. 2 or 3 hundred pounds
of soil taken from a field which has
grown them successfully should be
broadcasted over the land before seed
ing the soy beans and narrowed in i'm
mediately. Inoculating with artificial
cultures has given but little success
when the material is applied and the
beans allowed to dry for sometime
afterward. Much better results are
secured when the beans are planted
before the inoculating material is dry
on the seed.
