INCREASE FARM CROPS
Interesting Experiments in Crop
Rotation in Wisconsin.
Plan Outlined to Determine Value Of
Drainase-TiIed Land Can Be
Worked Much Earlier in S:ring
Best for Truck Crops.

A series OF very interesting expert
ments in crop rotation were made sew
eral years ago in Wisconsin, to deter
mine the value of drainage. The fol-
lowing plan was adopted:
In the fall of 1910 field contain
ing little less than six acres was
tiled. The land for the most part
was very wet and in the natural con-
dition timothy hay would not grow
on the greater part of it. Hedges grew
on at least half of the field. Another
field of about the same area and pos
sessing about the same degree of nat
ural drainage, was used as check on
the tiled land. Exactly the same kind
of crops were grown, and the same
treatment was given to the two fields
so far as possible. Surface drains
were provided in both cases. This
land, both tiled and untitled, had been
in meadow for ten or twelve years and
consequently was in poor state of
fertility. This was especially true of
the higher and better-drained parts.
The effect of draining was very
marked in 1911, due principally
to the fact that the tiled land could
be worked considerably earlier in the
spring. The differences ranged from
rs to 100 per cent in favor of the tiled
land. In 1912 the effect of tiling was
not quite so marked, as the dry wealth
er of that year permitted of better
drainage on the untitled land. The lat
erals were placed about seventy feet
apart and were not laid in regular or
dor hut mora in the order of what ia
sometimes called the natural sys-
tenn of tiling. The depth varied from
1.S feet to 3.5 feet.
On this land four-year rotation
was established as follows: Glover,

NEEDS OF GROWING ANIMALS
Large Amount Of Protein Should Be
Supplied as Substance Builds
Muscle, Hair and Hide.

A growing animal needs a large
amount of protein, for this substance
builds the muscle. hair. hoofs, horn
and hide. Fat is not so essential in the
life of a young animal.
The Wisconsin experiment station
has shown that in calf feeding two
pounds of grain are equivalent to a
pound of butterfat, and is much
cheaper. Calves fed on skim milk may
not be rolling in fat, but in the pro-
duction of dairy animals this is not
necessary for thrift and vigor.
The colostrum milk is necessary to
cleanse the calf's digestive tract and
to stimulate digestion. The calf may
be taken away from its mother as
soon as born, provided 1t is fed the
whole milk from its own mother or 1T
may be allowed to run with its dam
for two or three days. At the
end of two weeks gradually substitute
skim milk until the whole milk is en-
tirely displaced. Nine to twelve
pounds of whole milk is sufficient at
first and should be fed in several
feeds during the day. This may be
increased gradually until 20 pounds
of skim milk is being fed daily.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
Of the patients urine. He knows that un-
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is, particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy is
DIR. kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation. in most cases. is soon real
lied. according to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any rhar-
macy. Il is sold by every druggist in bot
ties Of two sizes-50c and Sl.00.
However. if you wish first to test this
great preparation. send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton. n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

PUREBRED STOCK IN DEMAND
When Pork Market Is Low Is Best
Time for Buying Breeding Stock
Hogs Are Cheap Now.

When hogs are high there is big
demand for purebred stock. Breeders
get more money because the pork
value of their hogs makes them inde-
pendent of the cheap buyer and be-
cause the demand is sufficient to take
all their stock at good figures.
When hogs are low the demand for
purebred stock falls off. and breeders
are compelled to sell it for less than
when market hogs are commanding
good prices.
So when the pork market Is low,
when the demand is least for breeding
stock, is the best time to invest in
purebred hogs. Just now hogs are
cheap and breeders have a surplus for
sale at reasonable prices. And now is
the time to go to it" and stock up
with purebred hogs.
Don't wait till everybody wants
them. Get them now and be ready
with a surplus of your own for the
time when everybody wants them.
That time will come as surely as
night follows day.

WORK IN THE FARM WOODLOT
Conditions-Forest Culture Re-
quires Intelligent Work.

Forest culture is as much of an art
as is corn culture. A good woodlot.
like a good corn field. is the result
Of applying intelligent methods to
produce full. valuable crop. A corn
field with fail spots. empty hills,
feeble stalks, and half-filled ears is
neither a credit to the farm nor a
paying investment for the farmer. No
more is a woodlot half stocked with
inferior trees. When timber is cut is
the time of all times to apply forestry.
The way in which the cutting is done
will determine what the subsequent
condition of the woodlot will be.
There is a difference between farm
woodland and the farm woodlot. Farm
woodland is farm land which has not
yet been cleared. Farm woodlot is a
term which might best be used to
mean a part Of farm permanently
devoted to timber production, under
a sound plan of farm management.
The size and the location of the wood
lot will depend upon various con-
siderations, of which the most i'm
portant are the home needs of the
farm, the character of the land, and
the present and prospective market
for material from the woodlot.

worth developing that we give full de-
tails. We found a 3la a-inch clear space
between teeth was too wide, and halv-
ing 1t by inserting more teeth made
the teeth too close. A clear space of
2h inches would be about right. The
teeth should be heavy enough to be
rigid. We used half-inch steel rods
and had SO much trouble with the
teeth bending that we finally aban-
doned the use of the tool. The teeth
should have length of eight inches
in the clear. We found trouble In ad-
justing the hitching to conform to
varying conditions Of soil, the drag
fitting forward or backward too much.
We believe that drag made along the
lines indicated and provided with
wheels at the corners would be good
practical tool for clearing ground Of
small stones, provided the soil can be
first put in good condition. It would
be pretty expensive on lumpy ground.
