MOST VALUABLE FARM CROPS
Trouble Experienced In Growing Clio
YER, Alfalfa, Peas, Etc, Where
Not Grown Before.

Legume crops (cloyer, alfalfa, peas,
etc. are among the most valuable of
farm crops. Trouble is experienced
at times, however, in growing them
In new agricultural districts or re-
gions where legumes have not been
grown before. This difficulty ofttimes
is due to the absence OF the necessary
tubercle bacteria from the soil In
question. The practice should be fol-
lowed, therefore, Of inoculating the
soil or seed when any of these crops
are grown upon ground which has
never grown the crop before.
This incubation may be made by
the use Of soil from field in which
the legume has grown. This soil
should be obtained from the old
legume field and distributed over the
field to be sown in legumes at the
rate OF approximatelI 800 pounds per
acre, and at once narrowed or disked
in. This operation should take place
during the morning or evening or
upon a cloudy day, as the intense sun
light destroys the bacteria. Care
should be exercised in making this
transfer OF soil to get 1t from fields
which are not infested with weeds.
Should such soil not be available,
DR., Ira D. Cardiff, director and bot
anist Of the Washington agricultural
experiment station, states that the
next best method of procedure is to
use pure culture Of bacteria which
may be mixed with the seed before II
Is sown.

STARTING WITH LIVE STOCK
GradIng-up Method Recommended az
Best BeolnnIna-Use Best Pure
Bred Sire Obtalnable.

The average farmer starting into
the live stock business is not In shape
financially to purchase purebred stock
and conduct the business the way 1t
should be. Purebred breeders should
not try to set men up in the breeding
business who have but very little
money and practically no experience.
An amateur, starting under such con-
ditions, is almost sure to fail and in.
stead of being booster for better live
stock, curses the breed that lost him
money and the purebred breeders in
general.
Those without considerable expert
ence and some capital, wishing to start
in the live stock business, will find
the grading-up method the best in
use.
Grading up q herd by the use of a
purebred sire is the safest beginning,

such manner as to insure the mini.
mum check in growth.
Two or three transplantings while
In plant beds are essential to secure
short, strong, stalky plants with q
compact, fibrous root system.
In transplanting we move a chunk
of earth about four inches square with
each plant. We make rows three and
half or four feet apart and space
the plants Is to Is inches in the row.
Each plant is confined to a single
branch and trained to stake. Strong
Irvine Is used to secure the plant to
the stake, one such support being
used Just below each cluster.
The string Is first made secure to
the stake. a single knot will usually
answer and then the stalk inclosed,
double knot being necessary in this
case. Ample allowance should be made
for subsequent growth of stalks.
A lateral will appear at each leaf
joint and these must be removed at
once In order that the entire strength
Of the plant be directed into the
growing of the single stalk and the
development of the fruit cluster there
on.
In our own experience we have
found that this method Of culture has
decided advantage over other meth
DDS. First, gain is made in securing
early maturity of fruits; second, the
fruit is larger and finer in quality.
While there are not so many indi-
vidual fruits as where permitted to
branch freely, there Is gain in size
and very decided gain I'm the number
of perfect specimens.
The fruit being held suspended, the
influence OF the suns rays reaches
every portion Of it's surface, resulting
in higher and more perfect coloring

GOOD MARKET SQUADS
Best Breeding Stock Is an Es-
SentiaI to Success.
Runt Pigeon ls One Of Largest, But
Not as Prolific or a. Good Breeder
or Feeder as Homer-carneaux
Is Popular.

Prolific pigeons producing large
squads are commonly kept confined in
pens. which involves proper housing
and q fiyway, or outside yard, Gov
cred with wire. Common pigeons, al
lowed their freedom, are less prolific
and produce smaller squads A study
of New York SQUAD quotations shows
that the price per dozen for dressed
squads fails rapidly as the weight
goes down and the other departs from
white. While prime white weighing
ten pounds to the dozen brought 1915
per dozen in March, last year, in New
York, six.pound squads were not
quoted above 81 per dozen, while $3.50
was the high price per dozen for dark
squads, and culls brought only FIVE or
six cents apiece.
OF the sQuabraising varieties the
Homer is considered the most popular
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-06-09

variety. The habit of this bird of
returning home II allowed freedom
makes 1t necessary to conflne pigeons
purchased from other lofts. The
Carneaux pigeon has recently become
popular as a SQUAD producer. This
variety is somewhat larger than the
Homer and 1t is stated is about as
prolific. Several other varieties of
pigeons larger than the Homer are
used on small scale in SQUAD raising,
especially In crossing with the Homer
and Carneaux to increase the size Of
squads. The Runt is one OF the largest
but is not as prolific or as good q
breeder or feeder as the Homer.
Some of the other varieties reported
used as squad breeders are the ORA
COON, White Maltese or hen pigeon,
the White King and common pigeon.
Good breeding stock is an essential
OF success in SQUAD raising, but as It is
difficult to tell the age and sex Of
pigeons, and age Is very important.
1t Is necessary to buy from reliable
breeders and preferably those who
guarantee their product. Variety
alone does not insure successful SQUAD
production. The birds differ indi-
vidually and they should be selected
for their productive power and vitality,
for quality and size of their squads
and their ability to feed and rear
offspring. Dark-colored skins, legs or
beak indicate poor quality OF flesh,
bringing lower prices on markets.
Care should be taken to select breed
ing birds which have white or pinkish
white skin and light-colored legs.
Pigeons are most valuable as SQUAD
producers when from two to six years
OF age, although many will breed un-
til they are about eight years old. The
small varieties mate and breed at FIVE
to six months. and the large varieties
at eight to nine months. II is advis-
able. therefore, to buy mated pigeons
from two to three years old, or to se-
cure young birds six to, eight weeks
old and tame them at the proper age.
All squads which are to be saved for
breeding should be banded before they
leave the nest and a careful record
kept Of their breeding. Squads Matched

Sheep should be kept to consume the.

abound not only in the form OF weeds
but in the form Of grasses OF various
kinds. These are found numerously
in the grain fields after the grain has
been reaped. They are found in the
highways beside the farms. and they
are found along fence borders what

VENTILATION FOR BRooDER
To Be Satisfactory Arrangement Must

Of Fresh Air.

A brooder in order TO be satisfactory
must have q provision for constantly
introducing fresh, warm air under the
hover for the chicks to breathe. T.
warmed box with no provision for ef-
fective ventilation compels the chicks
to breathe the same air over and over
again and 1t soon becomes practically
poisonous.
