AGE FOR WEAVING THE FOAL
Should Be From Five to Six
Months-Feed Some Grain.

(By F. w. BELL. Agricultural College
of TeXas.)
The age at which the foal should be
weaned will vary somewhat with con-
ditions, but will be from five to six
months of age. II the mare is not fur
nishing much milk, or is needed for
steady work, the foal can be weaned
at four and one-half to five months old.
If, on the other hand, the mare has a
full flow of milk, and Is not needed
for hard work, there Is no need to
wean the colt before it Is six months
old
If the foal has been given a little
grain from the time /: is a month or
six weeks old. gradually increasing
the amount to meet his appetite. he
will gradually reduce the milk flow
or the mare so that the weaving proc
ess will be a very simple one for both
mare and foal. When they are separat-
ed they should be kept entirely apart.
for the weaving will require much
longer IL the mare and colt are near
enough to hear and see each other.
To dry up the mare after she is
taken away from the colt. her grain
ration, should be cut down and some
of the milk should be drawn from her
udder three or four times day, grad
ually decreasing this until the flow
ceases entirely. After weaving 1t is
best to work the mare right along, but
if she is not worked her grain ration
should be very materially reduced
until she is dry.

WOOD LOT VERY CONVENIENT
Useful for Fuel Supply as Well as for
Fence Posts and Timber for
Other Purposes.

During the years that have passed
many men have been engaged in fight.
ing the forest, cutting and clearing
land of timber, preparing it for the
plow. In other words, making farms
and homes. The work still continues
in the heavily timbered sections.
Much bad judgment was used in
the early clearing, often rather steep
hillsides were denuded of timber and
the soil put under the pillow, while in
many instances more level portions
of the farm were left in timber. Wash
ing soon followed the cultivation of
such rough tracts, and today many
of them are badly SCARED by deep
gullies and much of the surface soil
has been carried away.
Every farm should have a small
wood lot. Forestry on the farm is to-
daEnen important feature OF agricul-
ture ure Ought to receive considerate
attention from farmers. A wood lot
is very convenient to have, not only
as source Of fuel in times Of scarce
and high priced coal as at present,
but to furnish fence posts and timber
for various uses and to add beauty
to the landscape and premises, afford
shade, shelter and comfort to large
extent for all the occupants Of the
farm.
A wood lot properly cared for will
continue to grow and produce sufi-
cient for the needs Of the farm for
time. And little study Of the sub
ject of forestry will greatly aid in
maintaining the tract in good condi-
ton.

The sweet potato Is probably native
to tropical America. 1t Is tender to
frost and is not grown commercially
to any extent north of New Jersey.
In gardens it is grown as far north
as Maine and Michigan. 1t Is extern
sively grown all through the south
and In California. The chief states of
production are the Carolinas, Georgia,
Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia
and New Jersey.
Sweet potatoes may be gathered
for the table as soon as they are large
enough. The main crop should be
left in the ground until the tub6rs
mature. This is told by breaking the
tubers and exposing them to the air.
II they are mature enough for storing,
the original color is maintained; IL
not, the broken surface turns black
or greenish color. In any case they
should be gathered Immediately after
frost. Before digging, the vines are
cut and cleared away and the tubers
then dug with hill sweep pillow or
like tool. After drying in the sun for
few hours they are gathered into
small piles, where they remain until
removed from the fields.

| The chief claim to attention is based
upon the fact that this kind of apron
requires almost no ironing.
Although the subject Of kitchen
aprons is not one to arouse great
amount of enthusiasm, it is not by
any means without interest. Many
aprons manage to be attractive, while
they cleverly fill all that is required
of them in the way of usefulness.
This means that they must cover the
figure, be plain and easily adjusted,
good looking and shc pely. They must
be neatly finished and provided with
at least one pocket and made of ma
terial that will stand any amount Of
tubing.
All Of the new aprons are made
with elbow sleeves except those that
are sleeveless. Very shapely and at
tractive models have large bib at
the front of the body fastened by fat
bands of the material to the belt at
the back. A favorite finish for all
edges is a fiat band Of material in
contrasting color. ALI the fast col
ors are used with white, and striped
effects prevail.

TO PACK POULTRY
Specialists Urge Unusual Care In
Preparing Fowls.
Methods Recommended Which Are
Essential to Perfect Product at
Any Tins. Especially When
Weather IL Unfavorable.

Poultry packers are urged by the
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture to give unus-
ual attention to preparing and pack
ing their birds for shipment, particu-
larly II the mild weather, which has
been widely prevalent this autumn,
continues. The poultry specialists
say that the weather conditions in
many sections have been very similar
to those which prevailed in the au-
tumn of 1913 and which, as poultry
shippers will remember, proved dis
astrous to all packers who did not
dress, chill and pack properly.
The specialists, therefore, recon-
mend the particular observance OF the
following methods of handling dressed
poultry, which are essential to per-
feet product at any time and are OF
vital importance whenever weather
conditions are unfavorable:
Methods of Handling Dressed Poultry.

and free from vermin, and see that the
chickens have plenty of fresh water
and plenty to eat.
2. Don't kill chicken when the
crop Is full of feed. Give the chicken
only water for "a hours before it is
killed. Food in the crop or in the in
testines Of dressed chicken causes
loss of flavor and hastens decay, which
more than offsets any gain from extra
weight.
g. Good bleeding is absolutely es-
sential to good appearance on the
market and retards decay. Circular
81, bureau of chemistry, department of
agriculture, explains the best methods
of bleeding and loosening the feath-
er muscles for dry picking.
Hang the chicken by both feet
while picking. Hanging by one leg
spoils the shape of the bird. Picking

"FENCING" TO HOLD THE SOIL
Terracing Is One Form Of Land Drain.
age, Object Being to Get Rid
of Water Gradually.

CBy DON sCOATES. Mississippi Expert
ment Station.)
If your soil wants to STRAY of. .
fence it in. This fencing holds the
soil, just as pasture fence keeps the
COWS from straying. Soil fences are
generally called terraces. The time
to build these fences is In the fall and
early winter before the winter rains
begin to wash the soil away, and when
the farm work is light.
Terracing is one form Of land drain
age. In this country. where we get
about five feet of water annually. and
sometimes get four inches of that
amount in as many hours, we must do
something to take care of it or it will
wash our top soil off the hills and put
II in the bottoms Now. we we'll know
that the hills need that top soil badly
and the bottoms have excellent top
soils without giving them any more.
The object of terracing is to get the
water that is not needed OF the land,
and get it off slowly. The terrace Is
a shallow ditch, with bank that
catches the water and conveys 1t to an
outlet or open ditch. The size Of these
terraces varies. but it is the best plan
to make them wide and not too deep
or high. The terrace bank should be
made from eight to twelve feet wide
and about eighteen inches deep. The
idea of this wide terrace Is to allow
wagons, moving machines. manure
spreaders and other implements to go
over them with little difficulty. With
the wide terrace. rows OF cotton or
corn can be planted on top OF the ter
race. Just as on the rest OF the land.

S. Dry pick if possible. Scalding
is particularly undesirable because it
hastens decay.
6. Chill every dressed bird until the
body temperature is below IS degrees
F. Never pack or ship an imperfectly
chilled bird. More decay is due to
imperfect chilling than to any other
single factor in dressing. Dry chill, If
possible. Chickens cooled in water
lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold

and are in every way more undesirable
on the market. Refrigerator cars will
carry well-chilled goods in good con-
dition, but they cannot chill warm
goods to sufficiently low tempera-
ture.
ever possible. A large barrel makes
an undesirable package, because where
poultry is packed in large masses the
weight Of the upper layers crushes
the birds at the bottom.
8. Line all packages with parchment
paper and cover the top Of the poultry
before the lid is put on.
9. Wrap every head in suitable pa
per so that blood from one bird will
not mar the appearance of another.
10. Use only good refrigerator cars
and see that they are in good order.
Ice and salt the car "a hours before
loading The car, at the end of "a
hours should show temperature be-
low 40 degrees F. at point four feet
above the floor and between the doors.
General Suggestions.
Never handle chickens roughly,
either before or after killing. Rough
handling causes bruises, broken bones,
SCARED skins, and soft places in the
flesh. Undue haste on the part Of the
killers and pickers results In lowered
keeping quality and poor appearance
of the product.
Piecework, which leads to quantity
rather than quality. makes for lower
prices on the market. Those who pay
by the piece should remember that
they sell by the quality OF the piece.
These directions will apply with
equal force to turkeys intended for the
market.

In dry rooms having good ventilation
and keep the temperature at from 30
degrees to 65 degrees F. When the
tubers are first put In storage and are
going through the sweating period the
temperature Is run up to so degrees F.
The common method of storage Is to
put the tubers in cOne-shaped pile
containing 80 to so bushels. Over the
pile layer of fine dry straw or hay.
then layer of corn stalks, and on the
top of this two or three inches OF dry
sand is placed. The whole Is then
banked two or three inches deep with
heavier soil.
In South Carolina many growers
store their sweet potatoes in cotton
seed hulls and dry sand, and they
keep very well. A good crop Of sweet
potatoes will run from 200 to 400 bush
els per acre. The cost Of production
is about $40 per acre. In some local.
ties sweet potatoes are grown extern
sively for stock. Hogs relish them
and do their own digging. For horses
and cattle the roots should be sliced.
Sweet potatoes contain to 6 per cent
of sugar and 16 to Is per cent OF
starch. They contain considerably
more fat than Irish potatoes and, on
the whole. have somewhat greater
food value.

New seeding of alfalfa should not
be pastured. The ground in these
fields is not firm and considerable
damage is done by the trampling of
the plants, especially during wet

Fields established year or more
may be pastured lightly in the fall, but
should never be eaten down close.
If the growth of alfalfa is not very
strong the field may be top-dressed
any time during the fall, preferably
just after the third cutting has been
removed.
New seedlings may be top-dressed
