High Grade Steers Bring Forty Dollars
 More Per Head.

Syashington,6 March 3O,-That it pays to raise good stock is illustrated by the experience of tive Utah ranch men who sent their steers to the same < market on the same dsxy. Both ran Eheir stock on National Forest range under grazing permits, both used the same amount of range per head of stock ,and both paid the same grazing fee. One gave close attention to the Selection of his breeding cows and used .sorlv fieh-grade bulls The other made no effort to improve his herd The owner of the high-grade stock re- ceived $40 per head more for his steers than theN owner of the com mon stock.
 on some of the National Forest ran ges the stockn1en club together, it is reported. and buy high-grade bulls which are owned as continuity prop erty Since the administration of the F0rests is in lthe hands of thesDepart-. sment of. Agriculture, naturally there is a desire to encourage the use of good breeding stock and to eliminate the scrubs. In general the effort is to make the ranges as beneficial to the country as possible. This is done partly by making experiments and studies to find out to what extent new methods win pay
 An example <s a Series of expert ments covering the use of sheds and small fenced pastures during lambing tisr.e which. Forest officers say, has practically demonstrated the value of this method in increasing the number, Of lambs saved Although the ranges orlSnOsts Of the Forests are said to be practically stocked to the limit, the experts believe it is possible to increase. the output of the ranges substantially through improved methods of utiliza- ton One of the most promising of these methods is to increase the aver
 
 by improving the grade of stock on the ranges. The thorou gh8ared eats 01n1ure grass than the scrub, weighs, more pounds when fat, and sells for a higher price, without putting any. additional burden on the range itself.
 That livestock leaves the National Forest range in excellent condition is indicated by several instances reported by Forest officers during the season of 1915. Sheepmen using the Hayden National Forest range in Colorado agpeed at a recent meeting that their 915 lambs averaged fully ten pounds per head above the average of ten years ago, which they attributed en- tireIy ito the results of range conser- vation. Of two large shipments of lambs from the Wyoming National Forest, one averaged eigatys and the other eighty-four pounds per head on the scales at Omaha. The average weight sof 50, 1000 head of April and May lambs from the Madison Forest in Montana. after being shrunk for twelve hours. was 75.7 pounds each. An even more surprising result is re- ported from the Beaverhead Forest also in Montana. From band of 300 ewes grazed on this Forest the owner raised and shipped 8S0 lambs which averaged e7 pounds per head after being driven dfty-five miles to the shipping point.

HARVESTING A PEANUT CROP
Information Supplied by Expert OF
Oklahoma College-Cover Stacks
Well With Canvas.

The following information on har-
vesting peanuts was supplied by
Prof NJ. A. Beeson Of the department
of agronomy Of Oklahoma Agricultural
and Mechanical college at Saltwater: !:
"If there is only small quantity to
be harvested, they may be pulled up
by hand, but if there is large
amount. and you haven't regular pea
harvester, they may be harvested by
removing the moldboard from an ordi-
nary turn plow and running the share
under the row on each side at q suft1-
cient depth not to sever the pods
from the branches. The side that the
moldboard is taken from Is run next
to the plant. If it Is large plow,
once running in the row might do.
The plants are then gathered by hand
and may be thrown in piles In every
third row. Where there Is danger of
much rain, they may be stacked on
the same day that they are dug, using
the stack-pole method. The pole used
should be from six to seven feet long
and put securely in the ground in
rows through the field. Cleats should
be nailed on the pole few inches
above the ground to keep the peanuts
off the ground. They are stacked
around this pole with the tops turned
outward and the nuts inward to pro-
tect them from the rain and sunshine.
birds and animals. The stacks should
not be more than three or four feet
in diameter, as they dry out and cure
much better this way.
"In most of Oklahoma it is not nee
essary to 60 to this trouble, but they
may be left In the field for four or five
days to field-cure and then stacked in
ricks the same as alfalfa. But as pea
nuts make a very coarse stack. it is
necessary to cover the stack well with
boards or canvas cover"

fBy J. C. WHITTEN, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station)
The department of horticulture OF
the University of Missouri finds in in
yestigation work carried on during re-
cent drought years that proper or
chard management can largely offset
the effects of drought in our apple
orchards. Everybody recognizes IN
general way that we'll managed or
chard will stand drought better than
neglected one. The reasons why
this is true are not fully understood
by most orchardists. If they were
fully understood and appreciated,
larger number of orchardists would
make a greater effort to bring their
apples to full size and maturity.
Dead and dying limbs should be
pruned out close to the tree and the
wounds painted. Many people sup
pose that once limb on q tree is dead
that it dries out and does no essential
harm. As matter Of fact, dead
or dying limb evaporates large guam
titles of moisture from the tree. Cut
ting off g dead limb and painting the
wound saves large quantity Of mois-
ture for the remaining living limbs,
leaves and fruit.
Canker wounds vr sun-scald areas
where the growing limb beneath the
bark has died out to be Scraped clean

and painting these wounds will de-
stroy many insects which are shell
tered behind the shelly bark Of the
wound, which feed on the growing lay
er and prevent 1t from healing over
the wound, and the painting will save
loss Of water from the dead and
spongy wood.
Water sprouts and surplus limbs

TICK ERADICATION LAW
Second Step in Work of Kidding
South of Pest.
Louisiana Following Example Set by
Mississippi in Taking Steps for
Protection of Live Stock
Activities Begun.
Prepared by the United States Depart
roaot NJ pricuiture)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Asriculture)
The second step in the work Of rid
ding the South of cattle ticks under
state supervision recently has been
taken by the passage Of a statewide
tick eradication law by the Louisiana
legislature. similar law was recent
~ passed by Mississippi. The law will
90 into effect April l, 1918, after which
date the state livestock sanitary board
will have charge Of tick eradication
activities and will be empowered to
compel such parishes as it shall desig-
nate to make adequate provisions for
the construction of dipping vats and
the dipping Of cattle, and to continue
the treatment until ticks shall be en-
:tfrely eliminated.
While the law will not be enforced
.until April l, 1918. the federal authori-
;fies urge the wisdom of making provi-
sion now in the different parishes for
the construction of vats and for the
necessary chemicals for the baths.
AS an indication that the people of
Louisiana are not inclined to wait
.r,ntil 1913 before taking up tick eradi-
cation, federal agents state that &C
tive work is now being conducted in
mine parishes. with the result that dur
ing the month of June, parish, state.
and federal employees supervised 243,'
0OS dippings of cattle to rid them OF
ticks, The federal authorities believe
that q large number of square miles
.will be added to the tick-free area In
Louisiana by the end Of this year.
/, AS an additional safeguard against
nhe spread of the tick, the state leSls-
9ature has also passed law prohibit
;ii.g the movement Of cattle from any
o,.arantined area into the tick-free Sec
ron Of Louisiana or into any part or
+he state where systematic tick eradi-
c.tion work is being conducted, unless
tbe animals have been dipped twice

SUMMER SILO GAINING FAVOR
Many Dairy Farmers Feed Silage Ev-
cry Day In Year, Especially
With Poor Pastures.

The summer silo Is gaining favor
rapidly as a supply source Of suffi-
cient amount Of succulent feed. Many
dairy farmers feed silage every day
in the year and especially when pas
ture is not to be had. A small silo
built and filled in the fall, to be
opened In July, Is the most economical
method Of supplying succulent ru-
ton during short pastures. Silage
left over from winter feeding may be
kept with very little loss until mid
summer. Cows should be fed from 40
to so pounds of silage each day.

common paint to save evaporation
from the wound. This is particularly
desirable during the present year. on
account of the exceedingly moist cool
spring the trees made rank growth
and a very large leaf surface. This
most abundant growth occurred dur
ing the month Of May. Now that
drought has occurred suddenly the
trees have larger leaf surface than
can adequately be supplied with wa
ter Reducing this evaporating sur
face, pruning out surplus growth
leaves just that much larger water
supply for the fruit, leaves and limbs
which remain.
Investigations during recent years
at the experiment station show that
this point Is of special Importance. 1t
has been found that in a dry time the
fruit is the first part Of the tree to
suffer from lack Of water. This Is
because when water supply Is made
uuate the leaves have the power OF
drawing water out Of the adjacent
fruits. The sap In the leaves Is more
concentrated than that In green fruit,
so the sap Of the leaves draws water
from the apples. This point can be
tested by cutting off two branches
from an apple tree, each containing a
similar number Of fruit and leaves.
Hang them up in dry place, pick all
the apples off one of the limbs. The
leaves on the branch having no apples
to supply water will turn brown. dry
and brittle within "a hours. The
leaves on the branch containing apples
will keep green for days until the wa
ter is drawn from the apples and the
latter are dried and shriveled- In
similar way cucumber or melon vines,
containing large watery fruits, have
their leaves remain green until the Gu
cumber or melon Is entirely shriveled,
| while a similar vine containing no
fruit will have the leaves begin to
| wilt as soon as the vine Is cut of.

his face broke out in a smile, and we
could see his appetite roll up it's
sleeves.

holding up turkey wing on his fork,

after the pangs of hunger had beaten

'Here we find" croaked the doc
tor, raising a forkful of mashed po-
tatoes, "here we find one of the most
