COST OF SPRAYING PER TREE
Difference in Profit on Sprayed and
Unsprayed Trees Given Out by
Nebraska Station.
OHZ-

In an orchard sprayed by the Ne
braska experiment station, the total
cost Of spraying per tree was twenty
four cents; the net income per tree
from the sprayed trees was $235, from
unsprayed trees, 81 cents, leaving an
income of $3.50 more from the sprayed
than from unsprayed trees, or a net
income above the cost of spraying Of
s1.3O more on the sprayed than on the
unsprayed trees. In other cases the
difference between the profit on
sprayed and unsprayed trees has been
very much greater than this. The diff
ference, of course, will depend on the
prevalence of disease and insects.

In popularity, cow-testing associa-
lions have grown rapidly in late years,
increasing about 60 per cent in the
United States in 1914. The prime pur-
pose of. an association is to put dairy
ing on better basis and to eliminate
unproductive cows. The average an
nual production Of the COWS of the
United States is approximately 1000
pounds of milk, containing 100 pounds
of butterfat, though there are many
herds with records of production av-
eraging more than 10000 pounds and
800 pounds Of fat. It Is the low aver
age production which increases the
6airyman's troubles. Chief among the
causes Of small milk flow are the fol-
lowing: The cows are no. properly
fed; many of them are not capable
OF making a large production; the
farmer has no records and has little
idea of which COWS are making him a
profit and which are failing to pay for
the feeds they consume. Farmers are
often prone 10 believe the cows pay in
some mysterious way, mainly through
the manure they produce, and thus
bring ultimate success.
The first cow-testing association in
this country was organized at FIRE.
mont, Mich, in 1905. These associa-
tons are now to be found in 80 states
and in 1914 totaled 1865; of these New
York had 29, Vermont %, and Wis
consin "a, other states following with
much smaller numbers. Cooperative
cow-testing did not originate in this
country; indeed, the movement is still
in its infancy when compared with the
number Of associations in Europe,
where there are between $500 and
$1,000
There is nothing especially difficult
in the work of keeping records of
cows, but it is usually more advan-
tageOus to the farmer to hire the test
ing done than to devote so much time
to the work himself The tester hired
by the association usually has special
training in an agricultural college, his
experience running all the way from
a short winter course u full four
years work. A knowledge of feeding,
breeding, and her management is es-
sential.
The expense of hiring a man to act
as tester varies, but it not far from
$3.50 a year, which is divided among
the members in proportion to the num-
Der of COWS they own. The member
ship is necessarily limited to the own
ers of about twenty-six herds of ten
or more COWS each, or one herd for
each working day in the month. The

Washington, June 4.-President Will
son on Wednesday served warning on
the leaders of the various factions in
Mexico ito act together and to act
promptly for the relief and redemp-
ton of their PROSTATE country" or
the United States will be constrained
to decide what means should be en-
ployed in order to help Mexico save
herself and serve her people"
The presidents statement is ad-
dressed to the American people.
For more than two years revoln-
tionary conditions have existed in
Mexico. The purpose of the revolu-
ton was to rid Mexico of men who
ignored the constitution of the repub-
lie and used their powers in contempt
of the rights of its people; and with
these purposes the president of the
United States instinctively and gener-
ously sympathized. But the leaders
of the revolution, in the very hour
of their success, have disagreed and
turned their arms against one anoth-
er. All processing the same objects,
they are nevertheless unable or I'M
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner
set up than it is undermined and its
authority denied by those who were
expected to support it.
In these circumstances the presi-
dent and government of the United
States cannot stand indifferently by
and do nothing to serve their neigh
Dor. They want nothing for them
selves in Mexico. Least of all do they
desire to settle her affairs for her or
claim any right to do so. But neither
do they wish to see utter ruin come
upon her and they deem it their duty
as friends and neighbors to lend any
aid they properly can to any instru-
mentality which promises to be effec-
tive in bringing about a settlement
which will embody the real objects of
the evolution-constitutio govern
ment and the rights of the people
at is time therefore that the gov
eminent of the United States should
frankly state the policy which in these
extraordinary circumstances it be-
comes its duty to adopt. 1t must pres
emily do what it has not hitherto done,
or felt at liberty to do, lend its active
moral support to some man or group
of men, if such may be found, who can
rally the suffering people of Mexico
to their support in an effort to ig-
more, if they cannot unite, the warning
factions of the country, return to the
constitution of the republic so long in
allegiance and set up government at
Mexico City which the great powers
of the world can recognize and deal
with, a government with whom the
program of the revolution will be a
business and not merely platform. l
therefore, publicly and very solemnly
call upon the leaders of factions in
Mexico to act together and to act
promptly for the relief and redemQ-
ton of their PROSTATE country. 1 feel
it to be my duty to tell them that, If
they cannot accommodate their differ
ences and unite with this great pur-
pose within a very short time this
government will be constrained to de-
eide what means should be employed
by the United States in order to help
Mexico save herself and serve her
people"

She dropped a fantastic courtesy.

Rotation of crous

Rotation of crops is as important
Ia growing vegetables as in growing
field crops, and the same principles
can be applied. Crop rotation is i'm
portant in checking diseases and in
scots and in keeping the soil in good
condition. Where diseases are very
severe, the same crop should not be
planted continuously on the same
area. Rotation of crops is one of the
safeguards against soil infection.

cost to the members usually is about
$3.50 COW year when the herds con-
tain 10 cows or over, or SIS for the
herd of fewer than ten cows.
The tester arrives in the afternoon
at the farm at which he is to work
for the next "a hours. When the milk
ing is done he weighs the milk given
by each COW and takes a sample to
test of butterfat. At feeding time
he weighs the feed given each COW,
whether she is milking or dry, and
also weighs the roughage that several
COWS get, in order to know the aver
age weight given to each. This is re-
peated in the morning. 1t is as i'm
portant to have the records of the feed
given dry COWS as of those that are
in milk, as the total cost of feed for
the year should be balanced against
the total value of the product to show
the profit or loss on feeding.
Each cows milk is again weighed in
the morning and a sample taken, to
be mixed with the sample taken at the
nights milking; later in the day the
samples of milk are tested for butter
fat by the Babcock test. Thus the
tester is fortified with the complete
data of the production of milk and
butterfat by each cow in "a hours, as
well as the record of all feed con-
sumed. On this one days average he
calculates the amount of production
and cost of feed for each COW for the
month. 1t may be seen that an esti-
mate made in this way is not exact;
careful studies have shown, however,
that this method gives results that
are within per cent of the actual pro-
duction of the cow. The findings are
recorded in herd book that is sup
piled to each member by the state ex-
pertinent station or by the United
States department of agriculture.
The tester is expected to follow the
local feed market and work out the
most economical ration for the dairy
men. When the record books are COM
pleted, the tester loads his outfit in
his wagon and drives to the next farm

time for the evening milking.
Thus, at the small cost of $150 a
COW, dairymen have learned that they
have kept many COWS that did not pay
for the feed they consumed. They
have also learned that many COWS in
their herds were capable of paying
for much more feed than they were in
the habit of allowing them, that there
is a great difference in the feeding
values of feed mixtures, and that
equally good mixtures can often be
purchased on the market at different
prices.

PICKED UP IN THE ORCHARD
Soil Around Trees Should Be Firmed
Frequently-Cease Cultivation
After August First.

The ground around newly set trees
should be f1rmed frequently for at
least year, as otherwise they are
apt to be blown out of line by the
strong winds.
Do not be afraid to thin the fruit on
the trees. Rub off the apples and
peaches until one is left every five or
six inches. 1t takes grit to do this,
but you will have better and larger
fruit if you will follow this plan.
Orchard ground should not be cul-
tivated later than August first, be-
cause cultivation keeps the sap run
ming and the trees must have time to
harden before winter comes.

CuItiVatino the Garden.

In cultivating the garden, small
tooth cultivators should be used to
prevent ridging or furrowing. A turn
pillow or sweep should not be used to
prevent ridging or furrowing. A turn
pillow or sweep should not be used for
cultivation unless the land becomes
so weedy that cultivators will not do
the work. Frequent cultivation kills
the weeds between the rows before
they become large, but hand work will
be necessary to keep the soil stirred
between the plants and to keep down
weeds in the row.
