FARMING
One Great Drawback ls That Unless
Watched Closely Breeding Place
Is Afforded Insects.

(By L. ARMY. Cornell University
The important point is to place the
tree in such a place that it will have
the advantage Of high altitude, which
means good air drainage, but at the
same time that ii will not be exposed .
to high winds. which quick
evaporation. The best mean of &C.
ccmplishing this is to provide the
orchard with a ~windbreak.
W~indbreaks should be planted with
care and judgment, since they often
become a hindrance instead of a help
in places where they are wrongly
planted. The one great drawback to
them is the fact that unless watched
very closely they may become a breed
ing place for dangerous insects; but
if care is exercised in this direction
the good effects of them will over
balance this point. That is, if the
orchard is regularly and i~ntelligently
sprayed, the insect problem is not an
economically serious one.
Windbreaks should contain both
evergreen AMI deciduous trees. The
object is not to stop the wind, since
that would be almost as harmful as
having too much, but it is simply to
check 1t SO that the force will be
broken by the time it reaches the
trees. To this end the evergreens will
check the wind during the winter and
the deciduous ones will help during
the summer. Aside from this point,
the break made from the mixed types
Of tree will be more efficient than the
n composed of all evergreens, al
though the latter will check the winds
both during winter and summer.
The spruces are probably the most
common evergreen trees that are used
for this purpose, because they are COM
paratively quick growers and make a
good growth on a wide range of soils.
Among the deciduous trees the naples
and the birches lead, and both do well
under varying conditions, The trees
are planted closer at first than they
are wanted, so that an immediate eff
feet can be gotten, and as soon as they
begin to grow or SO make the break
too dense, enough are taken out SO
that the break will not be a barrier.
When properly placed, the wind.
break can be n of the greatest cs
sets the fruit grower al have. This
fact is just being realized. and has
been brought to light by the large
amount of injury incident to exposed
and unprotected orchard sites.

COMMON SENSE In
CARING FOR SWINE
Breeders Disagree on Age at
Which to Breed SoWs-Watch
Litter Carefully.
tBy r. q. wEATHERsroNE.)

There is a great difference in opin-
ion among farmers-and good farm
ers at that-as to the age at which
sows should be bred. Some men breed
gifts at ten or eleven months. while
others do not bred until they are two
years old.
Some farmers claim that a SOW
should not be bred after she is four
years old, as she is then apt to kill
her pigs by lying on them. This
trouble is generally due to the SOW
being too fat rather than her age.

plan to feed a little grain to the grow

In the South many hog raisers turn
their young hogs out into the swamps
along the rivers and creeks and pay
no attention to them during the en-.

weeks before shipping them to mar.

While it is impossible to preserve
seed potatoes in good condition in a
storage which combines a too high
degree of temperature with darkness,
dued light, it is quite possible to keep
them for several weeks, in late spring
Or early summer, when they are
spread thinly on the floor of a bright
sunny room. After danger of freezing
weather is past they are even better
placed out of doors in the direct sun
shine. A series of shelves arranged
one above another on the southern
exposure of the dwelling or a farm
building provides an excellent place
for sun sprouting.. The tubers are
spread in single layers on the shelves
and allowed to remain until wanted
for planting. Exposed to the full
force of the suns rays the tubers, in
stead of sending out long, white, ten
der, succulent sprouts as in poorly
lighted storage, become hardened in
flesh and green in color, and very
short, stubby, firm. green sprouts are
developed by the eyes. whitening of
the tubers is but slight as compared
with that under conditions found in
a warm, dark storage, and they will
remain in the sunlight many weeks in
good condition for planting.
Tubers may be exposed to the sun
light for several weeks-from four to
ten weeks, and they will sprout splen'
didly. Such tubers when cut one

strong plants in a surprisingly short
time. 1t is hardly profitable to sur
sprout large tubers for planting, as
not all of the eyes will develop sprouts
and considerable waste will result
However, the plan is excellent wher
smaller tubers are used and planted
without cutting. So firm and tough
become the hard, short, sturdy sprouts
developed in the sun, that planting
may be done with certain horse

planted last year by the side of COM
mon stock, or seed which had been
grown in the ordinary way. There
are "a tenth-acre plots in each series
of the three-year rotation. potatoes
wheat-clover. The plots are 272 feet
long and 16 feet wide, which permits
five rows of potatoes in each plot. The
first three rows in each plot were
planted with seed tubers from the
July planted stock and the other two
with the ordinary seed. This method
precluded the possibility of any un-
equal effect upon the various plots by
using two lots of seed.
The potatoes were all the same va
riety and were all planted the same
day. The plants grown from July
sun-sprouted seed appeared nearly
two weeks in advance of the others
and maintained quite a noticeable diff
ference until they we're of large size.
In fact so noticeable was the differ
ence in the vigor and increased size
of the plants that the casual observer
would stop and remark and the more
interested one would inquire into the
details of the method. Many thought
that the two parts of the plots were
planted at different dates or possibly
were of different varieties. Let it be
understood that this particular seed
vas not sprouted but that the crop
was raised from sprouted seed, which
had been planted the first of July the
year previous. The season was not a
good one, serious inroads being made
by the fusarium wilt, which seriously
impaired the results, but an increased
yield and higher per cent of germina-
