CLOVER UPON WINTER WHEAT
Practice Found TO Have Number of
Advantages-Firm, Compact
Seed Bed 10 Required.
CHy r. q. wEATHERSToNE)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
Many farmers make practice Of
sowing their clover seed upon, the
winter wheat early in the spring,
depending upon the alternate freezing
and thawing of the ground to work
the seed down into the crevices.
l have made it practice to SOW my
clover seed on winter wheat In the
spring for a number of years and find
that 1t has number Of advantages.
Grass and clover seed require firm,
compact seed bed.
In my own practice l prefer to de-
lay the sowing of the clover seed until
the ground is dry enough to harrow
and apply the seed with a wheelbar-
row seeder and give the wheat har-
rowing with light smoothing harrow
with the teeth set well aslant. This
covers the clover seeds and proves
very beneficial to the wheat crop. es-
pecially during the dry seasons.
Either method is preferable to sowing
seed with spring grain crops.

COMFORT FOR YOUNG CHICKS
Essential Requirements Are Normal

and Proper Exercise.

The care Of the young chick, from
the time it is hatched until it is sold.
is bound up in the one word Com
fort" The normal amount of heat,
clean quarters, good, fresh air with
plenty of room and exercise-these
are the essential requirements. and
they must be supplied. Good brc ding
has more to do with healthy clicks
and normal growth than good incuba-
ton. Many persons can hatch large
numbers Of chicks, but comparatively
few can raise them successfully. The
experienced breeder begins long before
the Matching season to prepare for
ths management of his growing stock,
by the careful selection of breeders.
Labor and feed will avail little or
nothing If the chicks do not inherit
strong, vigorous constitution. This
quality is entirely dependent upon the
age and condition Of the breeding
stock. Discouragementa and failure are
sure to follow where immature pull
let's, diseased hens, or hens of low vi.
tality are used as breeders. Only
strong, vigorous hens which have
passed their first year as layers should

from such hens which have been
mated to large. healthy cockerels,

In a temperature of not more than so
degrees, and so will not do any harm.
The sooner the eggs are incubated
after being laid the better.

The brood sows may run together
up to within two weeks of farrowing
time; then it Is well to separate them,
placing each SOW by herself in yard
with a small house, which should be
dry, airy, and clean. A great deal OF
exercise will not now be necessary.
The feed should be reduced somewhat
and II there is any tendency to consti-
patton, slight change Of feed may be
necessary.
The farrowing pen should be pro-
vided with tenders around at least
three sides about six to eight inches
from the floor and six to eight inches
from the wall. These should be strong
enough to support the weight Of the
SOW should she lie on them. They are
constructed to protect the pigs from
being lain upon during the first few
days of their lives. This will go far
to prevent very fruitful cause OF

these tenders when the sow lies down.

SEED AN IMPORTANT MATTER

Experiments were carried on a year
or two ago by the Pennsylvania e1-
pertinent station with some ten or
more strains of cabbage seed Of the
same varieties from different firms.
They found variations OF yield from
5 to 10 or Is tons an acre, according
to the strain of seed

MANY USES OF KEROSENE.

We do not begin to appreciate the
value of kerosene either because Of its
cleaning or of its antiseptic qualities
Suppose the ventilation of the kitchen
is poor and the fatty odors have not
escaped while in the volatile condition
but have settled in greasy film on
the wall. WhiteWash is the old stand
by because it is cleaning in it's effects
and gives the appearance of freshness
and cleanliness. If, however, the wall
be oil paper or painted, a spot washed
with water and soap and another
rubbed with kerosene rag and wiped
will show the advantages in kerosene
Also it is much easier to use.
Suppose your stove is one of these
which are adorned with scrolls and
gewgaWs and base-reliefs and various
other dirt-holding crevices and you
have at last given up in despair and
blackened over the grease; then some
day take a small stiff brush and go
over the stove with it plus kerosene.
Let the kerosene remain while and
you will be surprised to see how easily
the dust and greasy dirt will come out,
leaving clean surface. If>you ever
discard stove polish, you will never go
back to it. If a stove is rubbed daily
with soft cloth on which are few
drops of kerosene or sweet oil, it may
be kept black and clean though not
polished. | would say use any grease
but that so many of them are apt to
contain little salt.
The enameled sink may be kept
smooth and free from discoloration
unless the water is very full of iron,
by wiring it with rag wet with kero-
.sene and then polishing it with a dry
soft cloth. Do it after each dish-wash-
ing. You will be surprised to find that
there is no odor of kerosene two
minutes after USE The same is true
of all bathroom enamel and faucets.
If, however, they become stained with
the brownish discoloration, take it off
with muratic acid, rinse in clear water
and then with solution of soda to
neutralize any action of the acid on
the waste pipe.
In washing your porch floor, add a
few tablespoons kerosene to the water
The drain pipe should be flushed
once a week with strong boiling solu-
ton of washing soda. If it is not clear
then, as sometimes happens in winter,
flush with boiling hot solution of
crude potash or lye. Do not let it
touch the rims of the metal The soda
and potash are very cheap, they save
soap and are useful in the laundry. A
dimes worth of each will last a long
time.

FOREIGN VS.. HOME SYSTEMS
OF CREDIT.

We find the following interesting,
non-political information, in recent
address by Mr.. John M. Parker:
THE record of France shows pa
triotic nation, with able agriculturists,
whose economy, industry and energy
have made their financial success
world-famous.
t"The record of Holland, where land
OF no value was redeemed from the sea
and is now worth as high as $1,000 per
acre, is wonderful tribute to the
tireless ability and energy of these
splendid people, who to-day populate
the largest dairy and cheese manufac-
turing section in the world.
But by all odds, the thoroughness
OF this marvellous nation Germany
has nowhere been more clearly shown
than in it's agricultural lines, and the
records show that their land, instead
of being worn out, has, under intelli-
gent, intensive cultivation, annually
improved in fertility, and now produces
enormous crops for the consumption
of man and beast.
THE German Landschaften, in order
to keep the best of their young men
and farmers from leaving the country
have adopted rural credit system,
where the farmer borroWs his money,
usually payable within, or before,
twenty years, with an interest rate
which rarely exceeds five per cent,
which enables the young men of me-
dunn means to buy their land, build
their homes and constantly increase
the value of the security until they
have made sufficient to pay their debt
and own their own property, free from
all debt.
What a comparison between the
policy of the United States, where, an
nually, we see something like 100000
of the most able, capable young agri-
culturists in the country lured away to
Canada, attracted by cheap land, on
very long terms, and where the fore
thought of the British offers every
possible inducement to successful and
agriGulturists to acquire a
home and aid in building up a prin-
cipality from a wilderness"

COTTON SHOULD BE KEPT OFF
THE GROUND AND BE PRO-
TEcTED FROM MOISTURE
TO PREVENT DAMAGE

1t is very important that all cotton
that is not marketed when ginned
should be stored or placed in a position
where 1t will be protected from injury
by moisture. Where cotton is exposed
to rain it is subject to serious injury;
and where it is sheltered but left in
contact with the wet ground it is likely
to become seriously damaged. 1t is
frequently the case that people do not
realize the amount of damage that is
done. In many instances cotton ap-
pears from the outside of the bale to
be in fairly good condition, when it is
really badly injured inside, due to the
fact that moisture has been allowed to
penetrate the bale, thus causing mildew.
II is not unusual, according to the
U, S, Department Of Agriculture, for
cotton to suffer a loss of from SO to S.

off the ground and properly sheltered
Where it is impossible to place it in
warehouse it should be protected by a
dry shed or it may be placed on poles
or timbers which will keep it several
inches from the ground, and covered
with tarpaulins. Protected in this way
it can be held for six months or even
a year with very little damage.

DRY SUGAR CANE TOPS AS
FERTILIZER.

Flowing under dry cane tops will
enrich the soil if they are allowed to
decompose while they are covered up.
The short season that we ordinarily
have between the cane harvest and the
next years cultivation, however, does
not permit them to thoroughly decom-
pose and they are in the way in cult
waiting. Generally speaking, the leaves
and tops coming from one ton of cane
carried to the sugar house would con-
tain 1.9 pounds of nitrogen, which
would be the equivalent loss in burn

POTATO scAs.

Circular No. 8 of the Extension Di-
vision of Louisiana State University by
C. w Edgerton, Plant Pathologist, Elk
pertinent Stations, l.. S. u, which has
just been published, treats of the dis
ease commonly known as the potato
scab. This disease of potatoes annual
ly causes a considerable loss to the
state and all possible should be done
to keep it under control. The appear.
ance of the disease and the methods of
prevention are fully discussed in the
circular. The methods commonly used
in controlling this disease consist of
crop rotation and the treatment of
the seed potatoes with formaldehyde
solution.
The formaldehyde solution is made
by mixing one pint of commercial for
maldehyde with thirty gallons of water
The seed potatoes are soaked in this
solution for one and one-half to two
hours just previous to planting.
The circular also discusses Certified
Potato Seed" This is seed that has
been inspected by agricultural officers
in the states in which it is grown and
is guaranteed to come up to certain
standards in regard to yield, size of
tubers and freedom from disease.
Any one who expects to plant pota.
