A CHANGE TO INCREASE YOUR IN
COME

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an interesting,
practical article on trapping. a neg
lected source of revenue. The point
is made that many animals formerly
thought to he of no value are now OF
great value. Among such animals
are, for example, skunks. The writ
er of the article tells how to trap
such animals and following is a
brief extract from the article:
Under present conditions, when
the high cost Of living is always
staring us in the face, no source Of
revenue should be overlooked. One
OF the good things that is often over
looked is trapping. Fur-bearing an
finals are frequently found in plenty
in the fields and woodlands, and
their hides will bring good prices"

COVER CROPS FOR ORCHARDS
Any Plant Producing Large Amount
Of Green Material to Be PIowed
Under Can BE Used.

By V. r. sANDERsTEN, Colorado Agrf-
cultural College.)
What crop TO use In orchards can
best be determined by local conditions
and character Of soil. In other wordg,
the choice Of plants is a local prob.
lem Any crop that will produce a
large amount of green material to be
plowed under can be used. Oats sown
early In the spring will form a heavy
mat vi heritage and should be plowed
under when in milk Red clover is an
other excellent crop, but in this case
the clover crop should remain in the
orchard for two years. The first crop
CT clover should be cut and left on the
ground, while the second crop should
be plowed under when In blossom.
The fruit growers should bear In mind
that the orchard is not a hay field and
that very little good will result from
the use OF cover crops II the crop is
cut for hay. Besides, there is danger
from poisoning II the orchard is
sprayed with arsenical poisons. Al
falfa is not adapted to orchards. as 1t
is difficult to eradicate and no orchard
should be left permanently in sod.
The question is sometimes asked:
Why cannot weeds be used as cover
crops? The objection to weeds is
mostly from the fact that they do not
mature at the same time and in order
to get the best results they have to
be cut too early, and even then some
species of plants will have already
matured their seeds, which afterwards.
may be difficult to eradicate. Field
peas is another excellent crop for the
orchard. The point that the writer
wishes to emphasize is that the use
of a cover crop is not primarily to in
crease the fertility of the land but to
add vegetable matter.

FRUIT IN ATTRACTIVE FORM

The way fruit is put on the market

highest figure. II we are to be sue
cessful In disposing of the surplus
fruit we must be sure the fruit is
packed in an attractive manner. The
package often sells the fruit.
In the first place the apples should
be- hand picked. In the second place,
clean boxes or barrels should be used.
DO not put choice apples in old boxes,
sacks OF barrels. Pack the apples
tightly to prevent bruising.
Select the type OF package best
suited to the demands OF the market.
Some markets want apples In boxes.
while others prefer the barrel. Al

WEAVING COLT IS DIFFICULT
Matter Requires Careful Feeding and
Mansaement-Four to Six Months

WEAVING the colt is not simply an
act OF separating the colt from It's

bred and is thought to be pregnant,

COOKED FEED FOR THE HOGS
Practice Has Been Largely Abandoned
Because Digestibllity Has Been Re-
dueed-Potato 10 Exception.

CBy q. r. SAMPSON Oregon Asricultur-
al College)
Cooking feed for swine has been
largely abandoned. since the digesti-
bility OF most feeds is diminished by
cooking. The potato seems to be an
exception to this rule. When cheap
enough to be fed to pigs. potatoes will
stand the expense OF cooking and pay
a profit II installing equipment does
not make too large proportion OF the
feed cost. At the present time one
hardly seems justified In installing an
expensive cooker for potatoes, since
ordinarily potatoes are more valuable
for human than for pig feed. Other
crops also usually furnish more nu-
trients at less cost per acre than po-
tatoes. Steaming is more desirable
than boiling potatoes. since the pur-
pose OF cooking is TO decrease the wa
ter content and burst the starch cells
II potatoes are boiled the water
should be drawn on and the potatoes
left over the fire long enough TO give
them q dry and mealy appearance.

LARGEST COTTON CROP ON
RECORD
By Peter Radford.

Washington. ID. G., Dec.-The De-
partment of Agriculture estimates
the 1914 cotton crop at i5,969,OOO
bales. This is the largest produc-
ton in the history OF the cotton
industry. The 1911 crop held the
record TO the present year, with a
production of i5,690,70i bales. 1t is
estimated that there are at least two
million bales in the field, much OF
il deserted by discouraged farmers
and which will probably never be
gathered.
The 1914 crop also ranks among
the largest in production per area,
averaging POS pounds per acre and
reaches the low water mark in
price. The price officially estimat-
ed for the 1914 crop is 9 cents per
pound against an average price OF
~ cents per pound in 1913 and a
production of 1882 pounds per acre.
