HAY SUPPLY OF IMPORTANCE
Farm Animals Consume Enormous
Amount During Understanding
in Cutting Small Areas.

On most farms there are "grass
patches" or small meadows where by
careful work the manager may save
considerable hay. After the general
hay crop is taken care of usually
there win be a demand for more.
Where one has considerable live stock
it will be rather hard to store and
save too much hay, for animals con-
sumo an enormous amount during the
winter and it is an easy matter to I'M
derestimate what they will require.
1t will pay generally to find the hay
patches where there is a small area
Of fine grass and save 1t. 1t may be
a little more expensive to save small
patches than in the bayfield, proper,
but If the hay is needed, as it gen.
orally will be, no complaint need be
made about the expense.
There is another advantage in cut
ting and curing the small areas Of
hay. The grass is utilized for feed
and not left to produce seed to cause
you trouble next year. If the grass
be Johnson grass, crab grass or other
thrifty growth that is more or less a
pest there will be all the more reason
for cutting and curing 1t for hay.

CoTTONSEED MEAL FOR COWS
Southern Scientist Finds OIL May Be
Detected In Butter Within IL to-
35 Hours After Fed.

A southern scientist has found that
cOttonseed oil may be detected In the
butter made from cows fed cottOnseed
meal within IL to IS hours after first
feeding. From the time Of the first
appearance the test for cottonseed oil
became more pronounced, until the
seventh day, when the influence of the
oil appears to be at Its maximum.
After two, four and six weeks con-
tinuous feeding of oil the effect Is no
more pronounced, In most cases even
less than at the end of the first week.
When the oil is removed from the ra-
ton its effect apparently disappears
within one or two weeks. The results
would indicate that the oil Is not
transferred directly to the milk fat,
but enters the milk fat only after it
has undergone some change In the ami.

CELERY OF HIGHEST QUALITY
Spraying to Prevent Blight and Rust
10 Of Utmost lmportanee--Mueh
Work Required.

One acre of celery properly cared for
represents a lot Of work, extending
from the time Of planting the seed in
the greenhouses or hotbed, transplant
ing the plants, setting them in the
open field, watering, cultivating, spray
ing, harvesting, punching and market
ing. But the returns from bumper
crop of, say 10000 head from the acre,
averaging so to go cents a dozen heads,
pays well for the labor and care be-
slowed on this crop.
Spraying to prevent blight and
rust is of the utmost importance to In
sure a good yield of best quality cell
cry" SO says Samuel Beach, Cana
dian truck grower. He uses bordeaux
mixture whenever there is the slight
est indication of blight or rust. AS
he cultivates the crop he watches for
indications Of leaf injury, and finds his
one-horse power spraying outfit as nee
essary as his cultivator. The cost of
spraying materials is considerably
higher since the war began, but Mr..
Beach finds that the spraying cannot
be omitted, even were the cost of spray
ing materials several times as high as
they are at present.

PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT
Plant Requires Abundance of Food
for Satisfactory crowine-Good
Seed Essential.

Wheat is plant that responds very
readily to good preparation of the soil.
The plants require an abundance OF
available plant food for satisfactory
growth. For this reason many thin
lands would give better results with
fertilizers.
Phosphoric acid has generally been
found to give good results on worn
soils. This is the constituent that
stimulates the production Of grain.
But the use of fertilizer always re-
quires good preparation of the seed
bed. Wheat needs q very fine soil, the
finer the better, usually. To get 1t in
the best condition 1t should be broken
or disked early and given time to set
tie and crumble.
Good seeds are essential for strong
plants and good stand. Nothing but
heavy, clean seed should be sown.

and mix the turpentine into this food.
Up to the time pigs are two months
old teaspoonful Of turpentine twice
month, and the same amount Of coal
oil the following day, is about the right
amount to give. After pigs weigh 200
pounds they can take a tablespoonful
Of these remedies.
Lice bother pigs. Now you oil know
pig can't get very fat If it is annoyed
by hundreds of these little pests.
If l were feeding a pig, would feed
pig, and l think should object to lice
eating off that pig.
There isn't any need Of pigs, or
people, having lice. Keep the pigs
clean, and sprinkle crude oil or coal
oil around.
Wrap a gunnysack around a post
where the pigs can rub against 1t, and
nail 1t fast so it viii stay in place. Oc-
casionally pour crude oil or coal oil
over this sack.
Lice breathe through the pores Of
the skin. The pigs will rub against the
post, the lice will be covered with oil,
the oil will stop up the pores and so
kill the lice.
Whitewashing the pens, cleaning out
the sleeping places and furnishing
them with fresh, dry bedding helps to
keep pigs free from lice.

KILLING WILD ONION PLANTS
Secret Of Vitality Lies In Bulb Which
terminates In Fall-DeStroy
Pest by Flowing.

The secret Of the vitality of the wild
onion lies in the two sorts of under
ground bulbs. Each plant produces
one large bulb which terminates In
the fall and four or five small ones
which start growth in the spring.
Late fall blowing, followed by early
spring blowing and planting the I'M
tested land to some clean cultivated
crop destroys the wild onion pest by
killing both sorts of bulbs as the
growth from them appears and before
they have had chance to multiply.
The fall blowing should be deep and
care should be taken to completely
bury all green tops of the onion. II
very much top growth has been made,
harrow run before the pillow will IA
cilitate the thorough covering of the
tops.
Another interesting and valuable
point about the wild onion is that the
spring bulbs rarely produce headsi
consequently, If the infested land Is
plOwed in the fall, spring cat crop
practically free of onions can always
be secured. But for complete eradi-
cation of the onion, both fall an6
spring blowing is necessary.

STARTING A FLOCK OF SHEEP
Purebred Ram Is Most important Con.
sideration-Will Return Purchase
Price TenfoId.

BY far the most important considera-
ton In starting flock Of sheep is to
get a good ram. Get as good ewes as
can be had at the price you want to
pay and the best ram of the desired
breed that you can afford to buy. The
kind of ram one uses at the start and
on succeeding generations of the eve
lambs dropped win be the kind of
sheep that will be in the flock at the
end Of four or five years. Get a good
purebred ram at the start and use
nothing but purebred rams of the same
breed on the young ewes as they come
along. 1t does not take long to grade
up flock by this means. Good rams
return their purchase cost tenfold.
Poor ones, grades or crossbred rams
are dear at any money.

ever Possible.

Crop rotation offers the best and
cheapest method of soil Improvement
Single cropping depletes fertility and
Invites disaster through disease. The
farmer should lay plans this fall for a
crop rotation which will cover num-
Der of years. O.. X. McQuarrie, state
agent for the University Of Florida ex-
tension division, offers two points
which should be kept in mind in work
ing out rotation.
Rotate so that no two crops of the
same kind of roofing system follow
each other. For example corn and
oats have about the same feeding sys-
TENS and should not follow each other
as a rule. The second point is to fol-
low soil depicting crops, such as the
grains, with legumes. Every system
of rotation should contain legumes.
McQuarrie offers the following sug-
gestions for trucking rotations: First
year, watermelons, followed by velvet

beans or cut them for hay. Use oats
for a cover crop. Second year. toma-
toes, followed by sorghum for forage
or silage. Sow rye as winter cover.
Third year, eggplant, Yokahoma beans.
Pick the beans and pillow the vines I'M
der. Oats may be used as cover
crop.
For celery growers the following is
offered: First year, celery, followed by
beggarweed. Cut the beggarweed for
hay and turn the stubble under. Sec

made from crops similar to those Civ

SENSIBLE RATION FOR HORSE

large number Of horses which he
feeds by system which makes and
keeps them healthy, hardy and vigor
Gus.
In feeding them he cuts the hay and
grinds the oats; the hay being well
soaked with water IA hours before IL
is fed: A little bran is added to the
ground oats and this mixed meal is
then mixed with The hay.
The feed is given morning and night,
oats alone being fed at noon.
The ration per head day is ten
pounds Of the hay, ten pounds ground
oats and one pound of bran, with eight
pounds Of dry oats fed at noon. Dur
ing seven years of such feeding the
lumberman has not lost a single horse.
while previous to that he often lost
one from some digestive disorder.
Horses on the farm would not re.
