Fall Product Rugged Crop That Sell
dom Winter Kills.


dom Winter Kills.
Wherever pasture can be substituted
for high priced grain in the feeding of
farm animals it generally means a re-
duced cost in the making Of gains.
Blue grass, red clover. alfalfa-these
are crops that on the whole are used
too sparingly.
Fall rye is a rugged crop, seldom
winter killing, and 1t is one Of the
first to make growth in the spring
Several contributions have appeared
In the Homestead during the last few
months, and these have been sent by
individuals who believe that rye is
one Of the most valuable crops in the
entire list Where it is used for this
purpose a fairly good fall growth is
desired though good success is some
times attained even by late sowing.
The pasturing Of rye will not only save
considerable grain where young pigs
and hogs are grazed on it. hut
profitable grain crop may be harvest
ed. In this regard it may be said to
be dual purpose in character. No other
crop will stand the same harsh treat
ment as rye. and tramping by cattle /
and hogs only tends to make it thrifty |
1t is entirely practicable to pasture |
fall rye for a month or six weeks in /
the spring. after which it may be
plowed under and the soil prepared /
for corn. This will add certain
amount of vegetable matter to the
soil. and the increase in the yield of
corn will much more than Offset the
cost of the rye seed. saying nothing

WINTER CARROTS.
Observation-Disclosures

Truckers harvest carrots intended
for winter use in middle or late Octo-
Der. says the American Agriculturist
If allowed to remain in the ground too
long the top parts Of the carrots will be
frozen during the cold nights. The
thawing which follows causes the skin
to slip; also small cracks are left
throughout the frozen portions. The
method commonly practiced in New
Jersey in gathering the crop is first to
loosen the carrots with a potato fork
and then to lift them out by their tops
and lay parallel in windrows.
By placing all the carrots with their
tops turned to the right the grower can
cut of the tops with a knife in the
right hand as fast as he can pick up
the carrots with his left and throw
them into baskets. The way in which
carrots are stored depends upon the
following factors: The amount to be
stored. the storage space within doors.
the purpose for which they are kept.
whether for live stock feeding or for
table use and the time at which tAsy
are to be used.

LET every man who will go to the polls
next Tuesday cast aside any personal
feelings as to any candidate, and vote ac-
cording TO the needs of his country Be
bigger than the little selfish jealousies,
which can have no effect upon yourself,
except to crafty personal spite, but
which can change possibly the destiny of
the entire country, by reason of the cleo
ton or defeat of men who are to repre-
sent Delaware in nation wide affairs.
There may be no personal love for a can
didate, but on the contrary a positive
dislike of that candidate and his practices
politically, but that man represents your
party, and as such representative, is en-
titled to your support. We give notice
here and now, that we shall vote for men
for whom we can never condone their
political work in the past but from now
on it shall be our duty to see that the
opportunity for mischief shall not again
be placed within their power. Exposing
corrupt practices withers success gained
by corruption, and that will be the policy
of thousands of Republicans before an
other campaign opens, and there will be
clear cut lines along which the campaign
will be followed. But at the present
time there is too much at stake to risk
the loss of control of national affairs, by
the qualification of personal annimosities.
Let every man do his duty now and win
victory for the Republican Party.

HOME CARE oE FRUIT.
Canning Outfit Is a Good lnvestmen:
For the Farmer.

! " NttH aAiiEIs
IL. C. Heron. Oklahoma stationl
Many dollars worth of fruit is wasted
every year because of lack OF facilities
for caring for it at home. There are
numerous persons owning home or
chards who have many times more fruit
than they can use at home during plen
tiful fruit seasons. Commercial grow
ers find that they have a large amount
Of Gull and overIipe fruit on their
hands.
If the proper equipment is provided
this fruit can be worked up into valua-
bic products. A home canning outfit Is
one Of the best investments. With the
use of this large amount Of fruit may
be preserved with a minimum amount
Of work, First grade canned fruit
usually commands a price high enough
to bring a reasonable profit to the pro
ducer.
A small home fruit evaporator can be
constructed by almost any one. A small
building may even be used by covering
the cracks and openings. The inside
can be arranged so that wire traps can
be slipped in for spreading the fruit on.
Any small heating stove viii furnish
the necessary heat. Thirty inches
square is a convenient size to make the
trays. What is sold as hardware
cloth" is very good for making the bot
tom Of the trays
A cider mill is another useful piece OF
equipment in caring for fruit. Jams
