(By @. II. Afford. State Demonstration
Agent, Maryland)
C. w. Lau, who lives on the
Magnolia Crest farm, six miles from
tho city of Davenport, in Scott county,
Iowa, is a man of such a diversity of
interests and carries on SO many inter
esting and valuable experiments that
we can learn much by a study of his
methods Mr.. Lau owns 160 acres of
land. OF this 100 is tillable, while 40
is left in permanent pasture and car
This ground is low and has very
troublesome ditch running its entire
length, making it difficult to maintain
fences and impracticable to cultivate.
He believes that he can double the
carrying capacity of this pasture by
disking in the ground occasionally and
sowing in mixture of grasses. He
will try a mixture of timothy, blue
grass, white clover and sweet clover
seeded in two-year-old alfalfa field to
produce pasture Of this sort next sea-
son. Mr.. Lau believes in rotating pas
lures wherever this is possible.
First Success With Alfalfa.
Mr.. Lau maintains rotation of two
years of corn, one year of barley in
which alfalfa is sown, followed by two
years of alfalfa. He can rightly claim
the distinction of having first gained
an unqualified success in the growing
of alfalfa in Scott county. He now
has on the place some 80 acres de-
voted to this crop. So firm is his faith
in the alfalfa plant that he has dis
carded red clover entirely and expects
to follow a rotation in which alfalfa
has prominent part. He also has
placed his seal of condemnation on
timothy.
Charles Lau says that one years
seeding is five years wedding. To pre-
vent this he clips his stubbles with the
mower before the weed seed ripens.
This is better than blowing early and
exposing the land to parching suns
and teaching rains.
From 40 to 60 acres of corn are
grown and the average production is
about IS bushels per acre. The seed
is gathered early and the ears placed
in ricks in the open doorway of his
barn loft In this way it is located in

. draft where it dries out very quick
ly. 1t is left until quite thoroughly
dried out and then taken to the base
ment under the house where the fur
mace completes the task of drying. He
tests for termination in the spring.
Mr.. Lau's corn tested in the county
experimental plots at the orphans
home yielded at the rate of IS bushels
per acre.
From % to 80 acres Of barley are
produced. Last year he threshed 756
bushels, or SO bushels per acre, which
he sold at rs cents. For two years
he treated the seed with formaldehyde
and had no smut in the crop. No oats
are grown and only one acre of pota-
toes. Mr.. Lau has never been very
successful with potatoes, but his son,
Carl, raises from one-half to one acre
of popcorn and has gotten very salts
factory returns from it.
Careful Of Manure.
The production on the rolling farm
which Mr.. Lau owns is maintained by
about 200 loads Of manure annually,

high grade which produce from $500
to 5000 pounds of butter annually,

production was 1850 pounds. Each
cow returned him $73.65 last season as
follows: 10 pounds butter, $50; A.
600 pounds skim milk at Is cents per
hundred, Sc; calf, SIS, and Is pints of
cream used in household, $2.65. They
are fed silage and alfalfa as the basis,
with small quantity of corn grist con-
sisting of corn and cob ground to-
gether. These cows constitute the
largest factor in his total income every
year. He regards silage and alfalfa
as the very best feed.
He owns one of the oldest silos in
Scott county, having had it for FL
years. 1t holds IS tons, has dimen-
sions Of IA by rs feet and requires from
to acres to fill. 1t is constructed
of wood slaves and is built inside the
barn and has proved practically per-
manent there. The cost was $3.50.
Mr.. Lau estimates the annual cost of
filling at $50. He always adds water
to his ensilage in filling and finds that
he can get a good grade of feed by
putting it in when just beginning to

work on Mr. Lau's farm. They are
fed alfalfa as roughage almost exclu-
sively. They are also given some silage

upward. Finally it reached the top
of the fence. Defying the laws of
gravity it remained stationery for the
barest fraction of moment and
while the $4,000 crowd stood spell
bound, the ball rested for a second
on the top of the wall and then rolled
out into the street.
Strange Antics.
But, in the meantime, Cutshaw was
performing ANTICS that almost were as
strange as those of the ball. When
he rounded first, the DOdger second
baseman saw that the ball was headed
for the bottom of the fence-a nor
NAL two-base hit, if a player hustles.
And Cutshaw hustled. He turned
first under full head of steam and slid
into second in whirlwind fashion. He
jumped to his feet a second later and
began looking around for orders from
the coaches.
Wilbert Robinson, manager of the
Dodgers was signaling something in
frantic way. Cutshaw figured that
Robinson was ordering him to try for
third. Cutshaw started, but when he
got no sign from the other coacher,

into the bag in cloud of dust.
Then Cutshaw jumped to his feet
again and while he brushed his toys
he began looking for orders-and also
for the ball. But he couldn't see one
or hear the other. The park was a
bedlam.
But did "Robby" mean that Cutshaw
should stay at second or go to third?
Cutshaw pondered and at last decided
to try the advance. Cutshaw raced for
it. Halfway along on his journey the
third base coacher, taking advantage
of the temporary lull in the cheering.
shouted:
"You hit homer, Georgia homer;
slow down."
And then the amazing truth dawned
upon Cutshaw and he walked the rest
of the way to the home plate, while
the huge crowd went into another
frenzy of madness at this unexpected
eleventh inning victory.

the weeds and transform much rough
age into money through the sale of
wool and mutton. He now has II ewes
and gets about ten pounds of wool
at the average clipping. Before he
kept sheep, he had a great deal of
rag weed in his pasture, but now a rag
weed is a scarce article on his farm.
Experience With Hogs.
Mr.. Lau has had many and, varied
experiences with hogs. He raises from
70 to 80 head of Poland China per
year. In the "a years he has farmed,
he had cholera three times. In 1912
it broke out and from some SO or 60
head he saved about 25. They were
not treated, as Mr.. Lau had no faith in
serum at that time, having made test
the preceding year with some So
called serum which was being used
in the county. He treated with this

neighboring herd where cholera pre-.

cessfully, although nearly all the hogs
in the three herds died. That put a
new aspect to the subject and in the
summer of 1913 Mr.. Lau gave all his
pigs the serum-simultaneous treatment
without any loss, although cholera pre-
vailed in the neighborhood He now
gives his hogs the rum-simultaneous
treatment every year.
Mr.. Lau raises about 100 head of
chickens each year, planning to sell
off the cockerels and old hens each
winter and keeps the pullets He sells
them dressed at 20 cents per pound in
Davenport. He has had considerable
trouble with chicken cholera and with
blackhead I'M turkey, being compelled
to cease raising the latter fowl on that
account.

which give higher gross returns per
acre than that operated by Mr.. Lau.
