Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFELD

Owners Of small farms have taken
up the question Of beef production.
There is a decided movement in favor
Of meat animals In the central west,
and the educational effort now going
forward Is bound to have a good ef-
feet.
This is a profitable branch Of farm
ing In more ways than one. Meat
values are on such a high basis that
farmers can more than double their
money on beef where they raise their
own stock. Beef raising disposes Of
fodder and grain to the best advan-
tage, keeps up soil fertility and adds a
large cash income to the revenues Of
the farm.

the baby beef feed lot last year" said

ability to lay on fat and more feeding
capacity than any could buy"

tablished a field of alfalfa can profit
ably handle a carload Of beef cattle
every year. II he cannot breed so

Spraying For codlipe Moth.


In answer to a correspondent who
asks when it is necessary to spray fol
the codling moth and whether spray.
ing for the San Jose scale will hurt
trees already in bloom, Zoologist Fl. A.
Surface Of the Pennsylvania depart.
ment Of agriculture says:
1T is always considered necessary to
spray all APPLE pear and ounce trees
for this pest when they are bearing
fruit. II there is no fruit on your
trees there is no need TO spray for
codling moth. As you doubtless know,
this is the insect that makes wormy
apples, pears and ounces. EverysgoOd
fruit grower sprays for this pest, If
for no other. The first spraying Is
made shortly after the petals or fow-
ers fall, and the second spraying IS
made about a month from that date.
The material that should be used is
one gallon and one quart Of strong
lime sulphur solution, either home
made or commercial, I'm forty-nine gal
Ions Of water, and to this is added
either one pound Of dry arsenate Of
lead or two pounds Of arsenate Of lead
paste. For the second spray use the
same material as for the first.
"Where you have much San Jose
scale present it is a good plan to wash
all the bark Of trunks or twigs that
can be reached with a paint brush
dipped in very strong lime sulphur
solution or very strong thick soap so
luton, or spray the infested trees
when the young are crawling on the
bark with tobacco decoction, kerosene
emulsion or soap solution. After the
leaves drop this fall spray again with

to buy calves from dairy farmers in
the neighborhOOd. The aim at nrst
should be to produce a carload Of
marketable stock. Where the farm is
100 to 200 acres there is nothing to
hinder the owner raising two or three
carloads in a year, but II Is best to set
the mark at one load for the first sea
son. This branch Of business requires
a little experience, just as everything
else does.
With this program adopted a farmer
starting out in beef production should
try TO prepare a lot OF top notch ami
mails that will average 1000 pounds at
the age Of twelve to fifteen months. II
the right kind Of stock Is used and
there Is good success in fattening, top
figures In the market viii be secured.
The careful manager VIII soon find
that he can produce the first 1000
pounds OF beef much more cheaply
than he can add to this weight My
observation shows that the real profits
are inNmarketing beef animals at an
age not exceeding two years. This is
turning over the money pretty fast.
and by making It rule to market the
stock at an early age one can afford to
govern the selling by the tone Of the
market
As farmers gain in skill they viii
find 1t an easy matter to furnish a fine
quality Of baby beef. This is accom- |
plished by the selection Of suitable
calves and a wise system Of feeding. |
No point in the business is more i'm
portant than that Of starting with the |
right kind Of young stock. Then # is
only a question of forcing growth by |
skillful handling. Men who have dai-
ries are able to secure n uniform |
bunch Of young animals, as a rule. |
but If they fall short Of the required
number in starting a beef herd with
uniformity they viii always be able to
find native stock to meet their needs.
Generally speaking, It is unwise to
bring in feeders. Young stock shipped
from remote points cost more than they
are worth these days, and the trans
portation units them for maturing

up with stock that gets its start in the
neighborhood. A little observation Of
the market will .astonish many farm
ers who do not know the demand for
high quality baby beef and the profit
there is in supplying It.

WHY SHE REFUSED THE INVITATION

Mrs. Margaret c. KHngekmitl, a member of the Philadelphia bar
widely known as Librarian of the University of Pennsylvania Law School,
was asked by the Womcns Committee Of the National Hughes Alliance
TO speak under its auspices for the Cause OF AmerNanism and National
Efficiency The letter which she wrote in reply follows:
az have received your conuu: ication asking ne to give my time TO
speak for the Cause Of American SIN and National Efficiency To the
cause Of Anerican;sm am already pledged as a profound believer rim the
t~,hs OF democracy. To one SO believing the absurdity of this call to
al" true Americanism through an insidiOus attempt to ally our govern
mcnt with the destnies of foreign countries now engaged in a frenzed
contest of sef-destruction' must be apparent.
THE call to a campaign for national efficiency comes with a equally
bad grace from those representing a party whose policy has swept the
American flag from the ports OF the world, shut the United States up in
a deadly provinciaism; deadcncd thc inventive genius of the people, and
closed to them the doors Of that opportunity which, lin the days of Dem
ocratic ascendency, before the dominance of the Republican party, had
eve remained open ITO ALL To Hat Democratic party which has never
departed from the faith of the fathers, which has believed in government
by the whole people, not by the privileged few, all who care for real self
government must render their allegiance.
For the reelection of that la who has re-estabished in four
years that freedom the nation nearly lost under its Republican obsession,
they must work; for that party whose four years of wisely constructive
legislation seen almost miraculous in contrast with Republican inefficient
cy and inactont they must win a n opportunity for yet greater work.
1t o be the duty OF every rue American to defeat that party which
revilcs and despses that America and that Americansm which refuses
to bear the Republican brand; which demands protection for privilege
and denies it to the mass OF people; whose success would mean the de-
