GREAT MISTAKE TO
SELL A BROOD SOW
Keep Her as Long as She Re.
mains Healthy and Vigorous
Keep Pen Free of Dust.

It is a great mistake to sell the
brood SOW just because she is two or
three years old. Keep her as long
as she remains vigorous
When the hogs are confined keep
the floors of the pen as free from dust
as possible. Hogs lie with their
noses close to the floor and in this
way inhale more dust than any other
farm animal.
AID excellent bedding for hogs is
marsh hay or pulp from the sugar
cane mill. This gives out very little
dust.
Some farmers seem not to have
learned the very essential fact that
hogs are natural grazers and should
always have plenty of grass. A
field of rye makes the best spring
pasture for the hogs.
Hog for a pure-bred mar.
ket is a ticklish job, and requires q
great deal of experience. The aver
age farmer will do we'll to stick to the
pork grades.
Naturally a sow nursing big litter
of pigs loses fat rapidly and should
be fed plentifully on nutritious milk

Grapevine TrelIis.

you have to do is to thrust in the
ground near the garden a stout stake
which will support row Of grape
vines across your garden fer many
years previous to your building trel.
lis for the grape vines. Or you can
grow grapes in this row of vines across
your garden without ever building a
trellis. but by simply training a cane
or two Of the vine to a stake or post.
Notice that a grape vine will make
double the growth If 1t has support
over the vine that has no support.

GREATEST FEEDING
VALUE OUT OF HAY
Two Hours of Sun on Dry Day Is
Sufficient to Cure Timothy
when to Cut Crop.

A great many farmers imagine that
hay of all kinds must be dried out
like kindling wood to be fit for stor-
age OF course, It Is true that hay
as dry as powder will keep in the
NOV or stack in perfect condition, yet
very dry hay is not as good feed as
hay carrying some moisture.
To secure dry hay that will be easy
to cure and light to handle many al
low the grass to stand and ripen too
long before harvesting. This is n mis-
take, as hay of all kinds allowed to
ripen fully will be woody and con-
tain a large percentage OF undigest-
ible fiber and a small percentage Of
succulent digestible matter. All hay
should be cut in a green state and
never be allowed to fully ripen.
Prime hay that carries the greatest
feeding value is cut before the plants
are fully ripe and cured to preserve
the green nature of the feed. This will
give the hay more aroma. 1t will be
more appetizing to the animals. and 1t
will be more digestible and nourish-
ing. Hay in the barn. bale or stack
should come out after months of
storage with a strong aroma of green
and be bright green in color. Then
1t is choice hay, and will be heavy and
rich.
The best hay is secured when the
crop is cut before 1t is ripe and cured
with the least possible amount of sun.
Two hours of sun on a dry day Ia
enough for timothy, and a half day
of sun for clover or alfalfa. The rake
should quickly follow the mower, al
lowing the hay to begin curing in the
windrow, where the least surface will
be exposed to the sun. After curing
in the windrow for a few hours, it
should be punched and allowed to
cure in the bunch for a day or two.
according to the kind.
Clover and alfalfa may be allowed
to cure in the bunch in the field for
about two days, while timothy will re-
quire but one day. Allowing hay to
cure mostly in the shade gives 1t bet
ter color, better aroma and high
feeding value.

POULTRYMAN MUST
STUDY HIS FLOCK
Just as Much Business Sense Re-
quired With Poultry as Any
Other Farm Work.

At the high prices Of corn and grain
now prevailing, the chicken raiser
must study every point of the game in
order to make profit. Better reduce
the number Of the flock and feed we'll
those that are left than to try to man
age large flock on scant rations.
It Is a fact that q good tat hen will
lay better than a lean one.
What a mistake 1t is to feed a lot
Of cockerels all winter. They should
be sold OF and with part of the money
a new, vigorous well-bred cock bought
for the spring.
There il Just as much business
sense required in the management of
poultry as in any other branch Of
farming, but not many farmers seem
to have discovered this fact.
Sell on all turkey gobblers this fall
and buy new ones for breeding next
spring.

START OF BLACKBERRY PATCH
Average Yield Of 2, 800 Quarts to Aers
Can Be Expected. According to
Government Estimate.

A recent government publication
states that under good management
an average yield OF 1900 quarts Of
blackberries to the acre can be ex.
pected. Where the soil f. deep and
rich and the best moisture conditions
are found this may be increased to
5000 quarts. The last federal census
showed that approximately $4,000
acres were devoted to blackberry
plantations In the country
In selecting a site for a blackberry
plantation the most important con-
siderations are the moisture Of the
soil and the accessibility OF a market
The blackberry Is a tender fruit, the
keeping qualities OF which are serious
ly affected by Earring over rough
roads. II Is. moreover. essential that
the berries should be placed on the
market as quickly as possible after
they are picked IL they are to com
mand a good price. The best land lie
a deep. fine, sandy loan with a large
supply of humus and abundant mois
ture at the ripening season.
The earlier the plants are set the
larger the proportion that will live
and the better their growth. The
roots should be set deeply. for the
canes break easily II the crowns
project above the surface of the
ground. The tops should be cut back
to six inches or SO in length. AS cul-
tivation is necessary the plants are set
suffi GENTLY far apart to permit Of 1t.

FACTORS IN GROWING APPLES
conseniaI Climate, Suitable Soil and
Availability Of Market Are I'm
portant Essentials,

While the apple will grow under
more different conditions than most
any other fruit, its successful culture
depends on great many factors.
Three general conditions that must be
met to make q successful fruit growing
industry are, Q congenial climate, a
suitable soil and availability of mar
ket.
More specific conditions may include
type of soil. depth Of soil, accessibility
to railroad, water and air drainage.
contour Of land, proximity to rivers.
lakes or mountains. prevailing winds.
liability to frosts and many other
things. Not all the land in any of the
great fruit areas can be considered as
fruit land.
In fact only here and there in these
areas Of country are there sections Of
territory that answer the requirements
Of fruit growing. And Of these small
sections but small percentage Of the
land will measure up to the necessary
specifications for profitable orchard
ing.
We must expect also that the more
broken and diverse q given area as our
mountain districts, the smaller will be
the proportion of suitable orchard
sites.

PROPER FENCE FOR
SHEEP IS PROBLEM
Most Of Our Sheepmen Use Wow
en- Wire From Thirty to For
ty-TWo Inches in Height.

y The fencing problem has always
loomed up big to the beginner in rails
ing sheep. 1t Ii not, however, q ver--'
difficult one II it is undertaken in an
intelligent manner. 1t does not re
quire a heavy fence to hold sheep, but
barbed wire will not make satisfactory
sheep fence.
Most sheep raisers use a fence con-
structed of woven wire from thirty to
forty-two inches high with from five
to nine horizontal wires and sixteen
to twenty stays to the rod. Any fence
coming inside these limits If put up
with q post each fourteen to sixteen
feet will prove satisfactory tor sheep.
II thirty.inch woven wire il used.
1t should have at least one barbed
wire on top of 1t. It usually pays to
put one o. two barbed wires on top
Of the woven wires, however, as this
will make q fence that will turn horses
and cattle a. well as sheep.

MEDIUM CLAY SOIL
BEST FOR ALFALFA
Good Plan to Have It Follow
Some WeII-CuItivated Crop
Like Corn or Potatoes.

1t is best to have alfalfa follow some
well-cultivated crop like corn, pota-
toes, tobacco or sugar beets where the
soil is freed of weed growth. Never put
alfalfa on sod land, for the blue grass
will. cause difficulty. A virgin soil
should always be first subdued BY
growing several cultivated crops to gsA
the soil in good physical condition.
Poor land should always be well
MANFRED. A medium clay loan il best.
On heavy clays winter-killing IL more
apt to occur. Light sandy soils gen.
orally require lime and manure. Al.

arate pen into which the lambs can
enter, and feed them a few oats mixed

Sheep should have their hoofs
