JUDICIOUS SYSTEM
 OF INTERCROPPING
Cultivated Orchard More Profit able Than Neglected One
 FiIIerS Are Favored.

A cultivated orchard is more produc- tive and consequently more profitable than the average orchard which is neg lected or in which grass or hay is grown.
 Tn the young orchard a judicious system of intercropping may be prac- ticed without causing injury to the trees and at the same time profitable crops will be produced in the waste space between the rows" says +. s. Merrill of the Kansas State Agricul- tural college. sufficient space should be left on each side of the tree to per init thorough cultivation of the tree rows. As a general rule, the roots of the tree extend beyond the outer ends of the limbs. A strip may be left pro portionate in width to the spread of the branches.
 "One of the most familiar types of intercropping can be found in planting filters between the permanent trees, and often between the rows. The peach or some type of early maturing apple can be used for this purpose, but in most cases the grower will not remove the filters until they have attained such size as to have interfered with the permanent trees"

EXPECT TO RAISE BIG SUM
of One Million Dollars Worth of Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Three hundred million Red Cross Christmas seals are being printed in Cincinnati for the annual holiday cam paign to be conducted under the joint auspices of the American Red Cross and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
 The campaign for the sale of Red Cross seals this year will be larger than ever before. Although in 1915 the sale reached the record total of S0,0OO000 seals, bringing in SS000O0, it is expected that this year at least 1OO,- 100000 seals or Sl.0O0O00 worth will be sold. The sale will be organized from Alaska to the Canal Zone. and from Hawaii to Porto Rico. Every state and territory in the United States will have seals on sale. New organizations will be working in a num- Der of the western states, including Montana, Utah and Wyoming. Distri- button of the seals is now under way.

PUREBRED STALLION HONORABLE"

By 6. T. SIMPSON. Missouri College of
 Agriculture)
 "Use' purebred ~sires," is the slogan by workers at the Missouri college of agriculture as a partial reply to stock mens' questions as to how they can make profits on increasingly expensive land, labor and stock and efficiency of the methods used must be correspond 4gly improved if the live stock indus try is to survive.
 The slogan of the purebred sire is being sounded by Dean F. B. Mumford and others of the agricultural experi- ment station and college in the field and feed lot, from the chautauqua platform and on farm to farm trips through various counties.
 For use in these campaigns 'red- headed" poster bulletin has been print ed. That head says in red type, Use Purebred Sires." and beneath this head are brief statements of the careful tests of the experiment station and the common experience of Missouri farmers which agree absolutely on this poilt- lHe stdtlou sOl HUGH DlSSeT profits by using fair purebred nut ton ram such as any farm sheep-raiser could afford instead of a scrub ram.

COVERED TOP MILK
 PAIL RECOMM MENDED
Many Farmers Have sNever Thought of Real Advantages
 of That Kind.

(By c. A. BURNS, Dairy Department.
 Oklahoma A. and NJ. College, Still
 water.)
 Those who are not accustomed to using covered top milk pail have probably never stopped to think of what real advantage such q pail may be in the production of clean milk. By a covered top pail is meant a milk pail so constructed that it has only a small opening in the top, the rest of the top being covered with metal of which the pail is made.
 The object of such pail is that of preventing dirt and hair from falling into the milk. As the old saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" This is surely one place where the saying holds true. Dirt and hair mean bacteria in the milk. and bacteria cannot be strained or filtered out. Bacteria are always more or less injurious to the quality of the milk and to all milk products. This means lower price for the milk, and eventually lower price for the milk products. But this is not all. Dirty, bacteria-laden milk products oftentimes are quite injurious to health, and especially the health of children.
 Of course a great deal depends upon the milker as to whether or not the milk is clean or dirty, but under aver age conditions, other factors being similar, a covered milk pail with an opening six inches in diameter stands only one chance in four of catching a hair or other foreign material that a pail 12 inches in diameter would. In other words, a pail with six-inch diameter will catch only about one fourth as much dirt and hair as a pail with a 12-incA diameter,
