PALABILITY
OF THE DIFFERENT

When animals are confined in a sta
bic and must eat what is placed be-
fore them or starve, hunger leads them
to eat things which are not suitable
to their needs.
The manufacturers of continental
stock foods recognize the high value
of palatability of feeds, ard mix to
gether fenugreek, genitian or various
other appetizers, to encourage cows
to eat larger quantities or unpalata
BILE feeds.
The average dairy farmer fails to
take proper care in preserving his
feeding crops in such condition that
they will be most palatable and diges
tible. If not palatable, they will not
be eaten, and if they are not digestible
they will produce no good results.
Much of the coarse forage and fod
der given his cows finds its way into
the manure heap without being eaten
simply because the cows did not like
it, and what is eaten fails to nourish
them as it should, for the reason that
it is indigestible
By cutting his hay and forage crops
at the right stage of their growth, he
can add largely to their palatabilty
and nutritive value.

THE FRESHNESS
OF EGGS is
NOT IMPORTANT

1t has been known that in every
hatch some eggs hatch first. The
universal opinion, considered not an
opinion, but fact, has been that the
freshest eggs Matched earliest, but a
correspondent of the American Poul-
try Advocate states that he has found
just the contrary to be the case He
trapnests the hens from whom he
secures the Matching eggs, stamps the
number of the hen laying each egg
upon the shell, and also stamps upon
them the date of putting into the in
cubator.
Last season, little before filling
the incubator, it occurred to him to
mark the eggs laid that day SO as to
test out the theory of early Matching.
The specially marked eggs received
exactly the same care as the others,
but the surprising thing was to find
that the early chicks came, not from
the marked eggs, but from the others,
and to cap the climax, the percentage
of eggs Matching from the last laid
eggs were far below that of the earlier
laid eggs. If the late Matched eggs
had been laid by hens deficient in
vitality, there would have been rea-
son for this, but the hens were all
tested breeders, and this explanation
could not hold. For further test eggs
were dated and it was found either
that the date of laying made no ap-
parent difference, or that eggs laid
ten days or SO before setting were
slightly more likely to hatch early
than the latest laid eggs.

IN THE PIG PEN

Use your skimmilk. Five pounds of
skimmilk have been found equal to a
pound of grain for pigs.
1t is we'll known that pigs under
clearly conditions thrive much better
than those in filthy surroundings.
Cholera and other diseases of swine
attack herds which are in poor condi-
ton, and consequently most suscept-
Bile.
Keep the sows and pigs away from
tattening hogs and give them feeds
that produce flesh and bone rather
than fat.
Free range for hogs does not mean
that they should be allowed to run in
the highways and through the neigh
bors' fences.
If you have anything the matter
with your hogs just put them on diet
of dry oats and water and see how
quickly they will come around

offended in the future.
In the particular case described, the
eggs were shipped to large grocery
store in Duluth Mimi, which was al
ready taking butter from the cream
cry. This store was able to sell the
eggs to its customers for several cents
dozen more than the prevailing
prices for other eggs. 1t is interesting
to note, also, that the buyers became
accustomed to the stamp on the eggs
and when by accident two cases reach
ed the store unstamped there was q
little difficulty in disposing of them
The increased profit to the farmers
through this method of marketing was
not as noticeable during the spring
when eggs are plentiful, as when they
were scarce. During the winter the
difference was sometimes as great as
ten cents a dozen, and when this par
ticular creamery was visited one De
cember the farmers were receiving 40
cents dozen for their eggs At this
very time farmers in the nearby viii
lage were paid rs cents a dozen. With
the increased prices the production
rose rapidly also. Before the cream
cry took up the marketing of the eggs
the supply received by the local store
keepers was hardly more than suffic-
lent for the local demand. Later the
creamery paid out in one year nearly
$4,000 to producers of eggs, nearly all
of which were shipped away. This ac-
counts for the fact that the local mer-
chants, who were at first inclined to
look with disfavor upon the Innovation.
soon saw that increased returns to
the community meant increased profits
to them eventually.
There is no reason why a system
similar to the one lust described
should not be adopted in many other
localities. Local conditions will, of
course, require certain chnages, but
the fundamental principle will remain.
Fresh eggs shipped regularly in good
condition to city markets are certain
to earn greater profits for the pro
ducers than those which are allowed
to deteriorate on the road from the
farm to the consumer Finally the
profits from the egg business may well
make the establishment of creamery
possible when it could not be run for
dairy products alone.-Prepared by
the United States Department of Ag
riculture.

SOIL FERTILITY
IN BRUSH
AND WEEDS

Last summer a clump of elder
brushes growing near the walk was
cut away. One evening in the sum
mer, after a shower had made the soil
moist our boys found something glow
ing at this point
Through boyish curiosity they dug
up the glowing particles and found
them to be decayed masses of last
summers elder stump. The stump
had died and returned to dust, or had
been decomposed to earthly elements
and compounds in one short year
This glowing substance in the elder
stump and in many other decompos
ing woods, is of course a PHOSPHORUS
compound-one of the most essential
things for the best soil fertility, and
one which is now being extensively
used in the commercial form as rock
phosphate.
But there is good farm lesson in
this elder stump. If it gives up phos-
phorous through decay, then it be-
comes valuable fertilizer, one which
we cannot afford to burn up or throw
| away.
And if the elder bushes contain
PHOSPHORUS, other bushes and weeds
contain it, They also contain potash
and other needed elements for grow
ing good crops of feed and food.
All farmers have noticed that an
old fence row when cleaned up and
plowed for crop is very fertile soil
The reason for this is that many diff
ferent bushes and weeds which grew
in this old fence row drew up phos
phorus, potash, lime and many other
mineral elements from deep down in
the hard soil
Through the decay of the stumps
and roots of this wild growth these
valuable fertilizer elements and COM
pounds are left in the surface soil for
feeding the crops.
On many farms all weeds, bushes
and wild growths are cut and burned
when they are to be got rid Of To
burn such things means to destroy
much of their fertilizing value. The
better way is to pillow the smaller
growth under whenever possible, and
to use the larger trash for filling in
needless bitches and gulches.
Here, covered with soil, they will
decay and fill the soil with just such
compounds as the growing crops are
in need of. And, besides, all weeds
and trash rlowed under or used for
filling gullies loosen up the soil for
better air penetration and for beneh-
cial bacterium life and activity thus
rendering double service in making
the soil more fertile.
The farmer who maintains and in
creases the fertility of the soil he
tends must use every means for Civ
ing back to the soil large amounts of
waste vegetable matter
This can be done most economically
by making weeds, brush and all man
ner of trash contribute their share

LIME SULPHUR
ON THE
APPLE TREES

The great question among fruit
growers everywhere is: Should bor-
deaux be replaced by lime sulphur as
summer spray?
Observations indicate that heavy
drenching is common cause of in
jury to foliage. Experiments proved
that much injury by the burning of APP
pie foliage following the application,
just after the blossoms fell, was due
to previous scab infection of the
leaves.
1t has been found that arsenate of
lead is the only insectde known which
may be used in the lime sulphur with
safety. 1t not only decreases the burn
ing but actually increases fungicidal
value of the mixture to so per cent.
Injury to both fruit and foliage by
the lime sulphur is much less serious
than that caused by bordeaux under
the same conditions, and the addition
of lime or the presence of sediment
does not materially affect the burning
qualities of the lime sulphur one way
or the other.
Another important point found is
that cultivated trees will withstand
foliage injury better than neglected
orchards

HOW TO KEEP
BUTTER DURING :.
THE WINTER

A supply of butter that will keep
through the winter is much desired on
most farms, but many find it difficult
to produce it. There are two or three
secrets that must be observed First,
if the cellar is musty, it must be care
fully scraped and cleaned and the side
walls and ceiling swept. Then it will
be we'll to whitewash it carefully with
little formaldehyde in the lime. To
spray it with force pump is easy.
Fumigation with at least pound Of
sulphur is another way of destroying
the must germs. The cellar should be
closed tightly for several hours while
the fumigation is in progress.
What makes cellar damp or
musty? Usually it is because some
thrifty person is anxious to keep it
sweet and lets in the warm air of the
day. Warm air contains a large
amount of moisture, which is precipi-
tated upon the cold walls, and it nat
urally follows that the cellar is first
damp, then musty and, later moldy.
Ventilate cellars only during cold
nights.
Now the butter The cream should
be ripened only to a point of pleasant
acidity. Stop the churn when the
granules of butter have begun to come
and have massed to the size of kernels
of wheat. Draw off the buttermilk and
put in an equal amount of clear, cold
water Revolve once or twice and
draw, repeating this washing until
the water runs out clear Then salt
one ounce to the pound with best
dairy salt, mixing it in the fine grains
in the churn by revolving or stirring.
Next mass il into balls and set it aside
to settle until the next morning.
Then work the butter a second time,
and pack it hard into sound, sweet
stone jars, and over its hard-pressed,
level top, spread disk of parchment
paper wet On this lay fine salt an
inch deep. Then tie a tough paper over
the top to exclude the dust, and place
the jar at once in the coolest, clean
est part of the cellar. To make butter
retain its quality, the temperature OF
the cellar should be maintained at as
low and even temperature as is pos
sible Vegetables and other things
that may produce odors must be ex-
cluded
Do not be persuaded that the add
ton of saltpeter or sugar or any other
substance is necessary to the preser
walton of butter. Salt alone is needed,
and one ounce to the pound is suffi
cient Never use a cracked or musty
or Hardy" jar. The old-fashioned
stone jar that is we'll glazed has never
been superseded by anything better
for holding butter. Where butter is
to be consumed soon, of course, the
washing is not needed, and the flavor
will be higher if the buttermilk is not
washed out.

GOOD DRAINAGE
OF THE
POULTRY YARD

The drainage is very important
subject to be considered in locating
the house and yard for poultry. The
ground should be we'll drained by slop-
ing to the south.
A yard on southern slope dries off
quickly after a rain, and it gets the
full benefit of all the sunshine, conse-
quently it is nearly always dry.
The direct rays of the sun are great
purifiers and destroyers of disease
germs, and this helps greatly in keep
ing disease out of thhe flock.
Then hens are compelled to run
about in Il wet, muddy yard, and SO
keep their feet wet and muddy, their
feathers become wet, too, and in cool
weather they become chilled Hens
will not lay we'll under such condi-
tons.
Dampness is also a direct cause of
roup and all its kindred ailments, as
well as rheumatism.
In warm weather a wet yard soon
becomes filthy, and is good place for
the growth of all kinds of disease
germs.
If your poulty yard is already built
in such a place, it will pay you to
move it to south slope. If this is
not possible, then haul dirt and raise
the ground in the yard high enough SO
that it will be dry; clear away on the
south side to let the sun in and make
some kind of wind break on the north

BEST TIME FOR PRUNING,

There is lot of truth in. the old
saying that one should prune when
the knife is harp. Spring is the best
time for pruning as at that time the
wounds heal up most quickly. If the
trees are making excessive growth 2
pruning early in July is good. as there
is not likely to be any new growth
starting as the results of cutting out
the old There is also little danger
of recurring growth if just the water
sprouts are cut low.
