GLEANINGS
MULCH SMOTHERS OUT WEEDS
Frequently Means Difference Be-
tween Plenty of Berries and None
at All From Raspberry.

Outlines a good mulch means the
difference between plenty of berries
and none at all from the raspberries
and blackberries. 1t pays to mulch
both for the sake of conserving mois-
ture and the destruction OF weeds.
The briers should be well mulched dur
ing the spring and summer up till the
fruit natures. After that the mulch
may be removed, since we desire a
well-ripened lot Of canes for the next
seasons crop. IL the mulch is or
straw it should be raked out and
hauled away. II the dust mulch has
been used cultivation should cease as
the proper height.
II is practically impossible OF late
years to produce marketable fruit
without some good mulch, either or
dust or straw. The straw smothers
out the weeds and grass, thus giving
the berries a chance.
The dust mulch is the more practi-
cal of the two systems. The dust
mulch can be quickly prepared after
each shower. II allows the evapora-
ton of all surplus moisture in times
of two much rainfall. It can be the
more easily done away with at the
end of the growing season, and gives
the better chance to apply fertilizers
in the shape of compost or CONNER
cial brands. The fertilizer is easily
worked into the soil, and is thus the
more easily assimilated by the plant.
Tho straw mulch once applied must
be kept up, since it forces the feeding
roots to the surface. When removed,
as it should be each fall, they are left
exposed to the sun.

Blue Jaw
Cyanocitta cristata

Length, eleven and ope-half inches.
The brilliant blue of the wings and
tail combined with the black crescent
of the upper breast and the crested
head distinguish this species.
Range: Resident in the eastern
United States and southern Canada,
west to the Dakotas, Colorado, and
Texas.
Habits and economic status: The
blue jay is of dual nature. Cautious
and silent in the vicinity of its nest,
away from it it is bold and noisy.
Sly in the commission Of mischief,
1t is ever ready to scream thief"
at the slightest disturbance. AS usual
in such cases, it's remarks are ap-
plicable to none more than itself, a
fact neighboring nest holders know to
their sorrow, for during the breeding
season the jay lays heavy toll upon
the eggs and young of other birds,
and in doing so deprives us of the
services of species more beneficial
than itself. Approximately three
fourths of the annual food of the blue
jay is vegetable matter, the greater
part of which is composed of mast

low inverted conical shape. Such an
udder does not add to the beauty and
symmetry of the animal and too often
its dangling, swaying motion in travel
is source of irritation. 1t cannot
possibly be expected to give as good
results as a blocky compact udder of
equal size in each quarter and extend
ing well to the front and rear. The
teats should be of sufficient size to be
grasped firmly while milking. They
should be set squarely on the quarter
and be of cylindrical rather than
conical shape. The cow with low
hanging bag and conical-shaped teats
is not a choice animal to milk and it
will usually be found that she does
not do well at the pail.
Percentage has much to do with the
conformity of the cows udder, and
while the sire will influence this char
acteristic to certain extent the func.
ton of the udder is not after his ma
ture and the dam will have to be de-
pended upon largely to perpetuate
proper form in this regard. Practical
experience will prove that heifer
calf will ordinarily have in marked
degree the external milk organ char
acteristics of her dam. 1t is therefore
doubly desirable that in the selection
Of breeding stock close attention be
paid to the udder development.

UDDER development OF cow
Sufficient Importance Not Placed on

Cattle Owners.

Many owners of dairy cattle do not
place sufficient importance on the
purely dairy characteristics Of the an.
imals they keep and breed. One of
the points often overlooked is udder
development, although it would seem
that this would be the first thing an
intelligent dairyman would look for in

CONTROL OF CURRANT WORMS
Usual Trouble Is That Insects Are Not
Discovered Until They Are Near
ly Full Grown.

The usual difficulty in controlling
currant worms is that they are not
discovered until they have been work
ing for some time and have attained
nearly full size, when they are hard
to kill. The method of control rec
commended by the New York State
School of Agriculture, at Alfred, N. Y,
is to spray the bushes thoroughly
with arsenate of lead and water dur
ing the first warm days in May, be-
ing careful to see that all the lower
branches are covered with the poison,
as this Is where the young worms be-
gin to work. Repeat the spray in
about two weeks and again in one
week If necessary. II spraying has
been neglected and the worms appear
about picking time, dust the leaves
thoroughly with fresh white hellebore.
This will lose it's strength after few
hours exposure to the air and will
not poison those who eat the fruit.

ten are being searched by the smaller
species. The chickadee's food is made
up of insects and vegetable matter
in the proportion of seven of the
former to three of the latter. Moths
and caterpillars are favorites and
form about one-third of the whole.
Beetles, ants, wasps, bugs, flies, grass.
hoppers, and spiders make up the rest.
The vegetable food is composed OF
seeds, largely those of pines, with a
few of the poison ivy and some weeds.
There are few more useful birds than
the chickadees.

takes heavy toll of the nestings. 1t Is
a true harbinger of spring, and its de-
lightful little song is trilled forth from
the top of some green shrub in early
March and April, before most of our
other songsters have thought Of leav-

vary much in habits, as we'll as in size
and celebration. Some forms live along
streams bordered by deserts, others in
timbered regions, others on rocky bar
rem hillsides, and still others in rich,
fertile valleys. With such a variety
Of habitat, the food of the species
naturally varies considerably. About
three-fourths of its diet consists Of
the seeds of noxious weeds and one
fourth of insects. or these, beetles,
especially weevils, constitute the ma
jor portion Ants, wasps. bugs (in-
Guiding the black olive scale), and
caterpillars are also eaten. Grasshop-
pers are taken by the eastern birds,
but not by the western ones.

SUMMER WORK IN THE DAIRY
Nothing More Unpleasant Than When
Pastures are Short and the Files
are Troublesome.

At no time of the year is dairying
more unpleasant work than during the
time when pastures are short and the
flies are troublesome.
Now is the time when it pays to
have supplemental forage crops and to
darken the stables and keep the cows
inside during the hottest part Of the
day. The cold weather during the win
ter is less difficult to contend with
than the hot sun and flies during the
summer.
