FEEDING ROOTS TO CATTLE
English Stoekmen Feed Enormous
Quantities of Turnips and 5eets-
Best Methods of Feeding.

Turnips and beets are grown and
fed in enormous quantities by English
stockmen and farmers. They do not
have silage because Of climatic condi-
tons unfavorable to corn. American
farmers who use roots to some extent
can wisely profit by English experience
in feeding them.
An authority advises that they
should always be cut or pulped, and
never fed whole TO cattle When led
whole there is greater danger of chok-
ing, especially with the last piece, and
also greater loss or waste by tram
ping under foot.
The best method Of feeding is to cut
or pulp the roots and mix them with
cut hay, straw or chaff, allowing the
pile to heat for a few hours before
feeding. This has the merit OF warm
ing up the roots. which are generally
a cold feed, and of making low-grade
roughage more palatable. Cattle fed
in this manner through the winter
come out in much better condition
than IL given the same amount Of feed
uncut and not mixed.

SECURE BEST RESULTS
Lettuce Ranks High in CONNER
ciaI Horticulture.
Size Of Seed Has Not Been Given
Careful study Until Recently
Heading Up" Capabilities Are
OF Much Importance.
(Ry NJ. cuMMINGs.l


Lettuce is a standard vegetable
crop, largely grown in farm gardens
and ranking high in commercial horti-
culture as a forcing crop; hence its
inclusion in these seed sorting expert
ments. Although a seed-bed crop. It
is often grown in places where space
is expensive, where intensive culture
prevails, and where crop uniformity
and even maturity are of prime i'm
portance. On this account growers
now carefully consider both seed and
varietal choice. In some dollhouse
districts only certain varieties are
deemed suitable for greenhouse cul-
ture; and few progressive growers
select only the locally-grown seed now
recognized as strains of commercial
varieties Although many methods Of
seed selection have been adopted, the
influence of seed size has not been
given careful study until more or less
recently.
Since lettuce is seldom sold by
weight comparison of the value of
different-sized seeds on this basis is
OF little account. Uniformity of ma
turing and relative "heading-up"
capabilities are of more Importance.
The formation of good, firm heads,
making possible the growth Of white,
crisp, and highly-edible center leaves
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1915-04-17
Head Lettuce of Quality.

is characteristic of a good quality of
lettuce. That good "heading-up"
characteristics are related to the size
of the seed has been found by eX-
tensive and careful experiments car
ried on for several seasons. AS to the
results of these experiments, several
points are worthy of note in summar-
izing. Marked differences in favor of
large seed appear in the Seeding
stage, point of little value in itself
were it not for the fact that an early
advantage influences later growth.
Large seeds start the plants off bet
ter; and great leaf surface area in
early life is of permanent benefit
Moreover, heavier plants, better heads
and greater uniformity at edible ma
turity are usually secured. In every
instance and at almost every stage OF
growth it could be seen that the plants
grown from large seed were much
more uniform in stature and in time
and manner of heading. Plants grown
from small seed we're very variable
in size and quality-some very good,
few mediocre, and many very poor.
Some headed early, but most Of them
were tardy in forming the heart and
in firming the head
It seems reasonable to conclude
that a large sized seeder is factor in
producing head lettuce of good quality
and eariiness of maturity. In the
writer's judgment the lack of plant
uniformity commonly observed in
commercial lettuce culture is quite
apt to be due to the use of seed which
is variable in size and consequently
variable in value.

GOOD SPRAYER NEEDED
Suitable Machinery Is Essential
to Proper Work.
Owing to Limited Time TO Make Ap
pIlcation, II 10 Necessary to
Take Advantage Of Every
Convenience at Hand.
fRx f. w. FAuRorl


AS timeliness is the first essential
Of successful spraying so is suitable
machinery the first essential OF good
work. In the selection of spraying
outfit there are several points that
should be considered. The type suit
able to the requirements of the or
chard in which It is to be used; wheth-
er hand pump is sufficient or wheth-
er power outfit is required; the ac-
cessories, tanks, etc, are all impor-
tant details In the makeup OF COM
plete outfit.
There are some dozen or fifteen re-
liable concerns which manufacture
spray machines. Each year nearly
every one of these establishments
adds some improvement which tends
to facilitate and tighten the work of
spraying. Only the very best should
be selected. Owing to the very limited
time for making some of the most
important applications, 1t is necessary
to take advantage of every possible
convenience for facilitating the work.
Wagon tanks of two hundred gal
Ions capacity or more should be about
five to six feet long, have a round
bottom and a fiat top. When made of
cypress they retail at from fifteen to
twenty dollars. Cocoanut-oil barrels
or wine casks also make good tanks
for homemade outfits. For power
outfits two-hundred-gallon tanks are
the most convenient size. Larger
tanks are frequently used but are like
ly to cause delay from overload.
The agitator is one Of the important
essentials of every outfit, whether OPP
Grated by hand or power. Barrel
pumps usually have an agitator at
tached but with tank pump and power

outfits the agitator must be consid-
cred in connection with the tank. The
agitators furnished with power outfits
are usually one of two types, of which
the propeller type is by all odds the
more desirable. 1t consists of an iron
shaft extending lengthwise of the
tank, on which are three or four, pre-
ferably four, propellerlike paddles. 1t
is operated by means of chain and a
sprocket-wheel on one end OF the
main shaft or by gear to the en-
CINE. The agitator revolves rapidly,
keeping the contents of the tank thor
oughly agitated and parts Of the mix
ture likely to settle evenly distributed
throughout. With some outfits il Is
operated by hand by means of an up
right lever; with others, by means of
piston rod attached to the pump or
geared to the engine and working
through a stuffing box in the end Of
the tank. This agitator answers fair
ly well for bordeaux mixture or ar
senate or lead but II is not sufhclent
to keep either paris green or self
boiled lime-sulphur well in suspen-
sion.
For large tank pumps operated by
hand the propeller agitator may be
conveniently operated by means of a
shaft fitted with sprocket-wheel and
crank attached to the top of the tank
and running parallel with the agitator
shaft. There is one serious objection
to the use of agitators operated by
hand and that is the impossibility of
getting men to appreciate the neces-
sity Of constant and vigorous agita
ton.
