REFINED PROCESS
OF FRUIT GROWING
Where Market Demands Fancy
Article Bagging Grapes viii
Prove Profitable.
(By e. VAN BENTHUYsEN)

Tagging grapes is one OF the more
refined processes Of fruit growing
that every man shonld test for him.
self. There are various conditions to
be considered upon which its profit
ableness depends.
Does your market demand fancy
article and is 1t willing to pay for it?
Do you suffer much loss from the
birds? In some districts they are very
destructive and scarecrows are not
OF much avail. Rot, too, is to be
considered, though some growers as.
serts that bags are not a preventive Of
this disease.
If grapes are bagged at the proper
time, which is soon after blooming,
they certainly will not rot unless the
canes are already full of rot spores.
and after the vineyard has once been
thoroughly cleared of the infection
it should not be again easily affected
II the fruit is kept covered.
Bagging does not appear to be re-
sorted to throughout the West, but in
the East with it's higher-priced mar
kets, some growers find 1t profitable
to bag their entire crop. The com.
mon paper bag in use at the grocery is
usually employed, in the two-pound
size.
A thousand bags should not cost
more than rs cents. The usual way is
to fasten them with a common pin.
Do not pin them around the stem
of the bunch, but over the cane from
which cluster descends. The edges
Of the bag should be folded down and
them pinned securely SO as to exclude
the rain as well as the insects.
II this be done carefully, only an in
significant number of bags will be
lost during the rest Of the season.
Women, with their trained fingers. are
the best for this work, when they can
be obtained. A skillful hand will pin
on a thousand bags day.
Another great advantage In bagging
is that IL is enc Of the best ways to
preserve the grape In its ripe condi.
ton. Many varieties will remain
fresh and sound until frost, and even
then be cut off, laid away in cool
place and kept still longer. They
have been kept until Christmas.
The red varieties seem 10 be the
thinnest skinned and most liable to
crack and TO puncture. The white
kinds are of all the least molested by
birds, which seem to think they are
not ripe. The blacks are the first to
be attacked.

The breeding of dairy cattle is a
matter surrounded with numerous
difficulties, rendered all the more I'M
certain and tantalizing from the ar
tificial conditions In which the cat
tie are reared.
Some of our highest producing dairy
cows have been developed along milk.
producing lines until they are In real
fly an unnatural deformity.
Every well-bred cow that is kept on
the farm by the very law Of its being
is ready and able to assist in giving
additional value to all crops grown on
the farm IL we only surround her
with the right conditions.
Buying cows and selling them as
fast as they stop giving milk will
never build up herd of high-produc-
ing dairy cows.
The calf from the moment of its
birth should be kept in thrifty grow
ing condition. Letting an animal run
down is a great and permanent loss.
1t is something lost forever, that no
amount of after care or feeding can
regain.
When the calves are playful 1t Is
an indication Of thrift and health.
1t is essential that we attend to the
comfort and bodily ease Of our cows.

PREPARE LAND FOR
STAND OF ALFALFA
Best Method of lnoculating Is
to Use Soil From Old Field
Keep Weeds Out.

Alfalfa is hard crop to start. 1t is
delicate and tender, and to put alfalfa
on ordinary land without any protec-
ton or help Is about like throwing
away four dollars an acre.
Put on 20 to 80 loads of manure per
acre; you are preparing the land for
ten years.
But the land must first be worked
over and over until it is free from
weeds. 1t may take disking or har-
rowing every ten days all summer to
do this.
If the soil Is acid, as shown by the
simple litmus-paper test, put on the
ground limestone. Inoculate the
ground and SOW the alfalfa the last of
July or the first of August.
The best method OF inoculating the
sell is to use soil from an old alfalfa
field or from a patch Of sweet clover
a wagon load or more per acre, but
this soil must not lie on top of the
ground in the hot sun many hours OF
the bacteria will be killed.
There is little danger from sweet
clover, which is a two-year plant, and
will not survive in the field when the
alfalfa is moved as often as it needs
moving.

It would be well If some Of us would
ask ourselves how certain lines of
treatment would suit us. All animals,
man included, have much in common.
A single trial with a purebred
dairy bull will convince any man
that like will produce like, and that
the progeny will inherit the form and
characteristics from the parent that
possesses the strongest blood lines.
A purebred bull will exert strong
er influence upon the progeny when
mated with the cows of mixed breed
ing than when he Is mixed with pure
breds or higher grades.
1t is a great mistake to put the
large breeds of cattle on poor, scant
pasture. Give them a good field to
Craze in.
There is no middle course or stand
still period to calf raising. Each day
the calf is not gaining it is losing.

care and feeding we shall be reward

SUMMER CARE FOR THE CALF
Unless Young Animals Are Kept Grow
ing During First Year Final
Development Is Retarded.

(By r. NJ. WASHBURN. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
The first year of calf's life is the
most important with respect to it's
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inherit
ance would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk In moderate quantities
through much, or all, of the summer
following birth. On farms having hand
separators there is no difficulty in
providing the sweet milk for calves,
morning and evening; but farmers
who patronize whole-nilk creameries
or who still skim b. hand should re-
member that after the first few weeks
milk for calves should either be thor.
oughly sweet or fully sour, that the
most dangerous condition Is the half
sour stage. II milk is fed to calves
when 1t is in this changing condition
1t Is almost certain to cause indiges-
ton. 1t should not be half sour. nor
sour one day and sweet the next, but
always one or the other.
Clean feeding pals must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the
infant cow from the slime of the dirty
drinking dish, and with young calves
1t is important that the temperature
at which the milk is fed be nearly
that of the body. Older animals may
receive milk of the temperature OF
the WITHHOLDING tank.
While 1t is very important that
heifers should have free access to
pasture. during the second summer. to
develop strong bodies, the calf need
not have pasture the first summer. In
fact, for calves born after the first
Of the year, pasturing may be a dis.
advantage. Most young calves in this
country are better off chewing tender
hay ~ the quiet and half-dark stable
than fighting flies, painting from the
heat. and cropping tough grass in the
pasture
