PLoW WHEAT GROUND EARLY,
euries Hessian Fly and Gives Soil
Time to Become Moist and CON-
pact Underneath.


Early blowing of wheat is beneficial
in more ways than one. Not only does
it bury the Hessian fly, but it also
gives time for. the plowed soil to be-
come moist and compact underneath,
Such condition Of the soil is difficult
to secure If blowing is put off until
September. Keeping down the weeds
also conserves soil moisture and plant
foods. From five to seven hundred
tons Of water are necessary to pro-
duce ton of dry weeds and moist Of
this may be saved for the wheat crop.
Plant food is made available more
rapidly when early blowing is prac,
tced, due to the better air circulation,
If the weeds are kept down, this food
is stored up and ready to give the
wheat quick, vigorous start when
seeding time comes. If, on the othey
hand, the weeds are allowed to grow,
they will draw heavily on this plant
food and while they will eventually die
and decay, restoring it to the soil, the
wheat will not do well, for If the
wheat crop waits until the weeds de-
cay, the danger from winterkilling
will be greatly increased. This differ
ence in growth may make the differ.
ence between winterkilling and good
spring condition.

SE[f'':FEED|NG Plan |
Value Demons $ h u in Recent
Experiments at BeItsWl|e.
PLAN IS VERY: PRACTICABLE
Grade 6erkshires, Uniform In Size,
Averaging 80 Pounds Were Used
Ample Room for Exercise
Was Given Animals.

From the United States Department Of
Agrculture.)
The value of the self-feeder method
of fattening pigs was demonstrated in
an experiment recently carried out at
the experimental farm of the bureau Of
animal industry at Beltsville, Md. The
object was to determine the value Of
this system as compared with the or
binary method of hand feeding.
The pigs used in the experiment
were grade Berkshires narrowed in the
fall of 1915. They averaged SO pounds
per head when the experiment started.
The handled lot were fed three
times daily, the amount being governed
by the appetites. The ration given the
handled hogs was composed of parts
cornmeal, parts middlings and part
tankage. The cornmeal and supple
ments were mixed dry. Just before
feeding, the amount to be fed was
weighed and then mixed into thick
slop, enough water being used to make

TIME FOR CUTTING ALFALFA
Crop Should Be Allowed to Grow
Slightly Longer for Horses Than
Other Live Stock.
(By A. c.. ARMY


For all classes Of animals except
horses, alfalfa should be cut for hay
when the new shoots or stems begin
to appear at the crown. These are
easily seen just as they come up
among the old stems at about the be-
ginning of blossoming time. Cut
ting earlier than this is not desirable
or profitable, since the yield will be
smaller and the hay will be more diff
ficult to cure. 1t should not be al
lowed to get much beyond this stage
for two reasons: (1) Although
somewhat heavier first cutting of hay
can be secured by allowing it to stand
longer than the time recommended,
the hay is neither as palatable, nor as
nutritious. (2) Leaving the first crop
after it is at the proper stage to cut
delays and reduces the second crop,
since the new shoots coming from the
crown are cut off with the first crop.
When alfalfa is to be fed to horses it
may be allowed to grow slightly
longer than when it is to be fed to
cattle, but it should never be left I'M
til the second crop is injured in cut
ting the first crop.

averaged 81 pounds per head and the
settled pigs 81 pounds per head at the
beginning of the test. At the end of 20
days the handled pigs averaged 1915
pounds and the settled pigs POS
pounds, 37.5 pounds more than the
handled pigs. The settled pigs con-
sumed greater quantity Of feed per
head during the test than the handled
pigs, but it took only 405 pounds Of
feed to produce 100 pounds at a cost Of
$5.67. while the handled pigs pro-
duced 100 pounds Of gain at cost Of
1924.
The self fed pigs made a better show
ing, surprising the handled lot in both
rate and economy Of gains. The re-
suits of the experiment clearly show
that for quick fattening the self-feeder
is very practicable.

The exhaust gases of a gasoline en-.
CINE are said to be fatal to rats. Tho
chickenhouse of an Illinois farmer was
infested with them. He attached hose
to the exhaust pipe of his motor car,
inserted the other end under the floor
and set the engine running. Twenty rats
tried to escape, but were killed by dogs
and when he took up tho floor he
found 40 rats dead or stupefied, not

NORWAY.

A young man from Arendal who had
followed the sea for many years was
detained in England to be sent to the
Belgian front as a soldier. He had
been in India and Australia a good
deal Of the time. He took a notion to
visit Europe without any idea of get
ting into trouble on account of the
war. When he came to England he
was soon made to understand what
1t meant to have no papers to prove
his Norwegian citizenship. He tried
to get the necessary papers from Nor
way, but for some reason he did not
get them as soon as he expected, and
so he was rushed to the Belgian front
1t Is more than year since people
in Bergen raised $4,000 for a military
aeroplane to be kept in that city. Peo-
pie began to wonder why it took so
long to get the airship, and an expla-
nation had to be furnished. The ma
chine had been made. But it could
not be used, not in that locality, at
any rate, on account Of it's peculiar
air currents. Now those who raised
the $4,000 demand that the govern
ment furnish an airship that can DO
used in and around Bergen.
The prosperity which the Norwegians
are enjoying is cropping out in many
ways. The Bergen Tidende gives an
account Of a wedding ring which one
Of it's representatives had been for
tunate enough to get glimpse of. 1t
was solid gold affair weighing As
grams and costing about $25. It was
so thick that the lady who had been
favored with it could not wear it when
she had anything to do, for it kept her
fingers so far apart that they stood out
pretty much like the spokes of a wheel.
A curious rule is in force in the
army. Those who deal in liquor are
prohibited from serving whisky, wine
and beer to men of the army unless
they carry special permit. The inn
keepers Of Bergen simplified the rule
by refusing to sell to anyone wearing
a military uniform. Those who carry
special permits to drink are greatly
wrought up over this matter, and it is
proposed to furnish cards to those
members of the army who are entitled
to drink
King HaakOn has approved an ordi-
nance forbidding submarines Of bellig-
erent powers from traversing Norwe-
gian waters except in cases of injury,
when they must remain on the surface
and fly the national flag. Any subma-
rine violating the ordinances will be
attacked by Norwegian forces.
Christiania building contractors al
