WATERCRESS EASY TO GROW
Barrel Sawed in Half and Filled With
Loan, Leaves and Rotted Manure
Is Satisfactory.

Watercress is easily grown In tub
for the table use In any kitchen gar
den. Sow the seed In shallow boxes
just sift 1t on the top soil. Then
place wet cloth over the soil to moist
en- the earth. This method prevents
the seeds being washed to one corner,
which usually occurs when watered
with sprinkler.
When four leaves appear on the
plantlets they are ready for their per-
manent position. For that purpose
use barrel sawed In half. Fill in
with garden loam leaves and well-rot-
ted manure. Work the dirt fine and
bring the earth up to within ten inches
of the top of the barrel.
Set the plants six inches apart each
way. Water them frequently. The
soil must be kept moist. Once a week
overflow the barrel with water to
carry off any sour deposits. Place a
little small charcoal on the soil to keep
1t sweet and fresh. The cress Is cut
with a knife. The barrel must be
placed in partly shady place.

EGG LOSSES IN HOT WEATHER
Heat Causes Germ Growth, Embryo
and Mold DeveIopment-NearIy All
Loss Can Be Avoided.
(By H. L. KEMPsTER, Missouri Agri-
cultural ColleRe)

(By H. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri Agri-
cultural College.)
Statistics show that during the
summer months from one-fourth to
over one-half the eggs produced in
Missouri are a total or partial loss.
Heat is directly or indirectly respon-
sible for q loss to Missouri farmers
Of $2,500,000 worth of eggs annually.
Heat causes germ growth, embryo and
mould development, increases evapo-
ration and causes eggs to become bad
In a very short time. April eggs are
high In quality because of the lower
temperature which prevails at that
time.
According to studies made at the
Missouri agricultural college, near
ly all Of the loss In eggs due to heat
can be avoided by the ordinary con-
veniences that the average farm pro-
vides. If farmers would take the same
care Of eggs that they do of butter be-
fore and during the time 1t is taken
to market, there would be practically
no loss from heat. Any temperature
above 70 degrees is too warm. Even
under the best of conditions eggs
should be taken to market at least
once each week.
Eggs should be collected daily and
should be cooled as quickly as posi-
Bile. A sweet, fresh basement which
Is cool or a cyclone cellar makes a
satisfactory place to store eggs. They
may also be kept cool by placing them
in bucket lowered into well. Avoid
storing them In musty Easements and
keep them away from flies.
If these directions are followed and
eggs are carefully protected from heat
while being taken to market, the value
of Mlssopri's egg crop may be in
creased $2,500000 during the next four
months.

with lavish hand as 1t is cheap and
besides repelling the bugs, serves an
excellent purpose as fertilizer. Two
dustings with the powder, If no heavy
rains occur, will usually do the work.
One application Of the fish scrap is
usually sufficient, If there are no rains
to wash 1t away. What damage the
bug does is done quickly, in fact the
ravages do not usually last more than
two weeks.

ORCHARD SITE is IMPORTANT
Wherever Possible Trees Should Be
Planted on Well.Drsined Soil,
With Southern Slope.

A good site is important when start.
ing an orchard and If possible the trees
should be planted on a well-drained
southern slope. In some sections where
early frosts cause serious losses a
northern slope is the best. as the buds
viii not come out as early in the spring.
This reduces the danger of losing the
crop, but in general fruit growers seem
TO profit most on the well-dralned
southern slope. Hardy varieties that
are cared for properly will usually
thrive in any well-drained soil Of fair
fertility.

FEEDING ALFALFA TO HORSES
Not Well to Give Hay to Brood Mares
In Large ouantltles-Great
Danger Of Bloating.

II Is not well to feed alfalfa hay in
too large quantities to brood mares,
and this is a matter In which precau-
ton should be taken. Horses tend to
become bloated II allowed to overfeed
on alfalfa hay, especially II the hay
is in a more or less green stage. 1t is
always advisable when alfalfa hay is
to be fed to horses TO allow the alfalfa
to remain IN the field until well ma
tured.
The danger Of bloating in horses is
especially great In the case Of mares
in foal, which are likely to overeat
These precautions are not necessary
in feeding alfalfa TO cattle and. in fact,
the green alfalfa hay is very deSir-
able for dairy cattle. Good results have
been obtained in feeding brood mares
by limiting their alfalfa to one-thlrd
OF the total amount Of roughage fed
to them.-CemSon College Bulletin

ing year will usually offset this when
the low cost of cultivating fallow land
as compared with corn land is con-
sidered. The field should be plowed
in the fall and again in the spring to
a depth of six or eight inches. A good
mulch three inches deep should be
prepared with disk and harrow and
this mulch kept cultivated with suffi-
cient frequency to prevent any growth
above the surface Of the ground. BY
preventing this part from developing
the roots are simply starved to death.

Many a fruit grower fails to prop

FEW HINTS ON SETTING TREE
One Must Be Careful That Roots Are

Sunshine Is Fatal.

There are a few general hints In

II win be q good plan to take all
