AND THIS
EXERCISE THE STATIONS

1t is interesting to note the stimu-
lating effect that exercise has upon
the breeding sire, particularly the
breeding stallion. Observations made
by the Animal Husbandman of the
New Jersey Experiment Station go
to show that in the case of the stall
lions owned by the state, by far the
largest percentage of mares were
settled by those stations that WIRE
given regular work, and daily exer-
else, and that furthermore colts re-
sulting from such mating evidenced
more vigor and vitality. That the
draft stallion should not be confined
in a box stall is generally admitted
by successful horsemen, and certain
ly such animals are more capable
of doing a full days work than the
breeding mare during the latter stage
of her pregnancy. Fat makes a nice
color, and idleness is conducive to
even q greater p%retentious condition,
but the stallion that is worked every
day and able to do a days work in
the harness, has by far the best
chance of string useful and market
able foals.
Perhaps the greatest drawback to
successful breeding in the east is the
fact that the colts during the first
year are not well fed or well grown.
1t is absolutely necessary that they
grow vigorously during the early
stages of their life, and they should
attain one-half their mature weight
when they are one year old; in other
words, if it is proposed to produce
an 1900 ID. horse at maturity, the
owner should expect the colt to weigh
900 lbs. when he is a year old. I'm
til the breeder realizes the importance
of vigorous growth and maturity in
yearling colts it is doubtful whether
the best results will follow in horse
breeding activities. The colt should
have grain from the very outset, that
is, as soon as he can be taught to
eat. A useful mixture recommended
by the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton consists of equal parts of crush
ed oats and wheat bran, to which 20
per cent. of oil meal has been added.
A liberal amount of this mixture, to-
gether with clover or alfalfa hay, will
produce that development of bone
and vigor so essential in growing
colts. Keep the youngsters growing

IRRIGATION IN NEW JERSEY

Observations made by members of
the New Jersey Experiment Station
show that an extraordinary interest
has been aroused in the state in the
irrigation of fruit and truck crops.
Some rather striking instances of in
creased crop yields and profits have
been noted by the Experiment Sta
ton authorities and it is hoped in the
near future to have some material
which will be of more than ordinary
interest to those interested in irri-
cation operations.
The season of 1914 furnished some
unusual comparisons in the matter
of increased yields and profits. 1t is
not the desire of the Station officials
to mislead farmers who may be con-
templating the installation of an ir-
rigation system. While some grow
ers have made remarkable showings
in the matter of irrigation and have
doubled or even tripled their yields,
it is to be observed that not all
growers would be able to succeed in
this way.
Many considerations are necessary
in planning an irrigation system and
unless all other conditions are equal
farmers should go cautiously.

HALF OF ALL FOREST
FIRES ARE PREyENTABLE
Analysis of Reports Shows that
More Than so Per Cent. of Great
Annual Loss of Life and Property
Is Due to Avoidable Causes.

Washington, July 8.-With the OPP
ening of the season Of fire danger
on most of the national forests, the
forest service is sending broadcast
a warning that more than half of the
forest fires in the United States are
due to carelessness or other prevent
able causes, starting from campers,
railroad locomotives, brush burning,
incendiaries, and sawmills.
This statement is based on an an
alysis of statistics compiled from the
forest fire records or the last sea-
son, when more than 1000 fires
were reported on national forests
alone and approximately 10000 on
state and private holdings in the
eighteen states which received feder-
al cooperation in fire protection under
the Weeks law, namely, Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions of dol
lars worth of timber and other prop
erty every year, and in some years
cause considerable loss of life. 1t
has been estimated from the best in
formation o~btainable that forest fires
last year burned over an area of APP
proximately 100000 acres with a
total loss of at least $500, 600.

WIREWORMS

Reports have come to the New Jer-
sey Experiment Station of damage
to crops by the destructive wire
worm. Circular No. rs of the New
Jersey Station on "Soil infesting In
sects," free to all residents of the
state requesting it, has the following
to say of wireworms and their on
troll: "Wireworms appear as hard,
smooth and shining dark-brown cyl
indrical bodies having three pairs of
well developed legs at the anterior
end, and range from a size so small
as to pass unnoticed to an inch or
more in length"
Damage is done to seed before
'sprouting and wireworm-feeding on
the roots of corn and wheat or on
white potato tubers is not uncom-
mon.
When wireworm is severe after the
crop is planted destroyed seed may
be replaced until a stand is secured
or, in the case of corn the seed may
be coated with gas tar and busted
with a mixture Of fine dust and Par
is green, until it assumes a greenish
tinge, and then planted.
Cultivated land for many years out
VI oOds II lilCobCdt oIlOuld, II pioSti-
cable, be planted to crops having al
most as many plants to the square
foot as grass or clover, for a couple
of years. When a piece of infested
sod land must be broken, the land
should, if practicable, be cropped in
the same manner If necessary to
plant such a piece of land to crops
subject to injury, the salty forms
of fertilizers should be used and in
the ease of corn the seed should be
treated.
In a section subject to wireworm
damage, the rotation should be plan
ned so that the grass will remain on
ly two years, clover being preferable
to grain. According to the New Jer-
sey Experiment Station entomologist
also, relief is reported to have beer
obtained in some cases by placing
punches of poisoned clover at inter
walls over the infested area and cover
ing each bunch with a board.

MEADOWS AND PASTURES

The extension specialist in Agron-
omy at the New Jersey Experiment
Station in a circular on "Meadows
and Pastures" states that more land
is devoted to hay in New Jersey than
to any other crop, but that in few
cases is the proper care given this
crop. The bulletin goes On to state
that "The grasses and clovers are
often seeded with wheat or rye, ant
while good stands are frequently Sc
cured in this way, too often the num-
Der of thrifty plants is small, reduc-
ing the yield and permitting the
growth of weeds and natural grass
of the product. This is especially to
be deplored, because meadows and
pastures will respond proitably to
good treatment including the use of
fertilizers and manures quite as read
lily as any other crop"
Speaking of hay, the same bulletin
states that pure timothy brings the
best price upon the market, the quo
tations varying according to the am
cunts and kinds of other grasses
mixed with the timothy. The New
Jersey authority recommends mix
lures containing timothy, red top,
blue grass and others of recognized
value because they permit thicker
stands and larger yields. There is
the additional consideration also that
conditions unfavorable to one grass
may be favorable to another, and a
mixture tends to give permanency to
the seeding and to increase the period
of profitable moving.
Caution is given to secure grasses
which mature at the same time, in
asmuch as the quality of hay con-
tanning over-ripe and under-ripe
grasses is materially lessened.
