Roots for Stock and Poultry.

Sugar beets and mangels grown
for stock will produce big tonnages.
Mangels like a rather cool climate
and sugar beets are grown success
fully in about the same general lati-
tude that grapes are produced easily
and somewhat north of that belt,
SAYS a writer in Farm and Home.
Put your root crops in a good, fer
tile soil, plowed deep and we'll titled,
if you expect a heavy tonnage. Work
up a good seed bed, and if the land
is not already very rich, put on some
wellrotted manure after blowing.
Root crops draw especially heavy on
phosphorus.
Plant the beets in drills with the
rows far enough apart that cultiva-
ton is not difficult. Put the rows 20
to 80 inches apart. Plant about corn
planting time. You will have to hoe
and thin by hand.

soy beans and the other cowpeas
since 1908. Every winter both have
grown barley, seeded Immediately
after the summer crops were re-
moved.
The average annual yields were as
follows:
Acre Soy beans, 1913 bushels
per acre; barley, 20.4 bushels per
acre.
Acre 2-Cowpeas, 90 bushels per
acre; barley, 34.5 bushels per acre.
1t is evident that acre 1 produced
1915 bushels of beans more than acre
2 produced cowpeas, while acre 2
produced 81 bushels of barley more
than did acre 1.
Counting the price of beans and
peas at So a bushel and barley at 10
cents a bushel, the annual gross re-
turns from these two acres were as
follows:
Acre 1-S61.35.
Acre 2-$44.27.
The difference in favor of acre 1
the acre that grew soy beans, was
S17.0S.

A Feathered Bully.

One day in early July, writes a
Companion contributor, a party ot
us went from Duluth to Port Wing,
Wisconsin, on a days outing. We
were waiting on the dock for the re-
turn trip when we saw an interesting
bit of bird bullying.
Parallel with the dock, an aband-
oned logging trestle runs out on the
beach and ends in a long wooden
breakwater. The slip was edged
with jam of floating or partially an
chored logs, old and worm-eaten,
which furnished a supply OF titbits
for the birds that came to feed there.
Red-winged blackbirds and purple
grackles came, not in focks but sing
ly, as if collecting food for sitting
mates or hungry nestlings. There
were also flocks of a certain timid
little bird, much smaller than house
sparrows but with sparrow colorings,
which l am unable to name. These
little birds kept to themselves and
were left in peace.
The quarrel we witnessed was a
family affair between the redwings
and the grackles. A redwing would
be feeding quietly by himself, hop
ping from one log to another, taking
bite here and a snatch there, and
troubling no one. But if a grackle
flew up, redwing must leave. There
was plenty of room for both birds,
and plenty of food, too; but the
grackle just could not let his smaller
cousin alone. Instead of feeding
quietly by himself, the grackle would
fly down beside redwing, and, if the
smaller bird did not Immediately
clear out, would give him sharp
peck with his long beak and sputter
out threatening Chuck"
l watched a big purple grackle
drive a peaceful redwing form three
different logs, one after the other.
Not until redwing, uttering his plain
tive, please! pleased" flew under
the trestle did the grackle go about
his foraging. That he did with the
utmost dignity walking gravely along
a log or board, even to the point of
wetting his toes, and feeding much
like a crow.
When he had his crop full, he flew
away. Presently a redwing came
along and settled down at the far end
of the log jam. He was busy about
the logs, with the seeds and insects
he found there. and chatting softly
to himself when a gackle appeared
at the shore end of the jam. AS soon
as he spied the redwing he stopped
feeding, few over and drove his
cousin away; then he went back and
began to feed again.
Do these birds often quarrel thus?
None of our party ever heard that

AGRICULTURISTS DIVIDED
INTO VARIOUS CLASSES

There are two kinds of agricul-
turists-those who farm for fun and
those who farm for profit.
The first are magnates who make
their money in cities and spend it
in the country. To realize their
ideals they usually over-capitalize
their estates, which rarely show
profit on the investment.
OF the pratical farmers there are
two types-those who run their farm
as a business, and those who drift
with the tide. AS rule the latter
read little; they do not keep books;
they do not practice modern methods
of tillage. BY hard work they man
age to live, but they make little prog
ress. Their lack OF prosperity is
largely due to the absence of good
business management.
The number of business farmers is
increasing. With them farming is
both vocation and hobby. They
farm because they love the country;
they enjoy their work because it is
interesting, and because of this in
terest and a natural aptitude for get
ting ahead they prosper.
The farmers who do not make till
ing the soil a business instead of
makeshift will gradually be crowded
to the poorest lands and reap the
smallest rewards. The up-to-date
farmer who systematizes his work;
who keeps account of income and
outgo; knows what his crops and live
stock costs to produce; applies mod
ern craftsmanship to their disposition;
co-operates intelligently with his
neighbours; uses the best implements
and practices scientific agriculture &C
cording to the established principles
is the one who is riding in an auto
mobile.
1t is easy enough to join this class
of business farmers. Ambition is the
initiation fee; industry and the de-
sire to learn are the yearly dues. We
usually get what we most wish for If
we wish for what is good for U.S.
Farmer and Breeder.

Vegetables as Tonic.

Don't buy any spring tonics. They
are not necessary. Eat vegetables
and plenty of them and you will find
you do not need spring tonics.
Green vegetables are foods that
should be eaten all the year around,
because they contain the mineral
salts that keep the blood in condition.
Vegetables are of three kinds
sweet juiced, starchy and strong juic-
ed. Peas. beans. carrots, celery,
spinach and the like come in the
first class. The starchy vegetables
are potatoes, rice, macaroni. etc. The
strong juiced vegetables are cabbage,
turnips, onions, etc.
To cook put all vegetables in boil
ing water and keep the water boiling.
Sweet juiced vegetables do not re-
quire as much water as starchy and
strong juiced vegetables do not keep
the lid on the vessel, as il confines
the gases which, kept in the vege-
body. Then, too, as in the case of
cabbage, the odor cannot be detected
throughout the house if the lid is not
on the vessel.
Cook strong juiced vegetables in
plenty of boiling water.
Vegetables are very indigestible If
overlooked, so be careful to keep
them cooking and take them up when
done.

Try This to Aid the Development OF
Tobacco Plants.

There being considerable COM
plant in regard to the development
of tobacco plants, Mr.. Turner, of the
Turner Tobacco Warehouse, of Louis
Vile, who is also a farmer, makes
the following suggestion:
Sprinkle the plant beds with a So
luton of one tablespoonful of liquid
ammonia dissolved in two gallons of
water and repeat every week until
plants are large enough to set. This
not only develops the plants rapidly
but also drives away insects.
Liquid ammonia is not expensive,
and can be obtained at any drug
store. Try this if your plants are
slow in observation-disclosures Home

As An Investment.

No better investment can be found
than in Ohio county farm land. The
land here is cheap and our resources
are yet undeveloped. U. S. Agricul-
tural Agent Hughes says we have the
best land for growing timothy hay he
has ever seen. Prices from SIS to
$50 an acre. Bottom or hill land.

FARM DEPARTMENT
Farmers Are Interested I'm Sudan
Grass.


Sudan grass has been attracting
great deal of attention during thepast
few years, especially in those sections
of the United States for which no
good perennial hay grasses have been
found. and where farmers have to
depend very largely upon millets,
sorghums and cowpeas for roughage.
Sudan grass is nothing more or less
than a fine stemmed, non-saccharine
sorghum. Apparently it has all the
characteristics of the ordinary sor-
ehums in soil and climatic require
ments. and differs form them chiefly
in maturing very early and having
such fine stems that it is readily cur
ed into hay.
Last year the eagerness of farmers
TO try this grass caused the price o.
seed to reach a figure that many were
deferred from making any test, but
great many farmers in Kentucky did
and were greatly pleased with it.
On the Kentucky Experiment Sta
ton farm a series of tests as to rate
of planting, method of planting, and
date of planting we're made in 1915.
The planting was done on a rich
piece of land and as the season was
very favorable as regards moisture,
the growth was tremendous. From
this test we are inclined to advise as
follows as to its culture:
Sow about the middle of May on a
good seed bed, drilling in about 20
to 25 pounds of seed an acre with the
ordinary grain drill. The seed is not
expensive this year, and thick seed
ing gives much finer hay. Cut the
first crop when fully headed and the
second in ample time to avoid frost.
Handle about the same as with
timothy. 1t takes longer to cure,
however, and should be thoroughly
dry when put in the barn or stack.
At the Experiment Station farm
the two cuttings from the best plots
made over eight tons an acre of hay
dry enough to keep well. This is ex-
ceptional, of course, and one-half of
this amount would be a good crop
and as much should be expected.
In Kentucky, Sudan grass will un-
doubtedly take the place of millets
and sorghum very largely. 1t will
not take the place of ordinary pas
ture and meadow grasses, but will
supplement them. 1t is not humus
forming crop and presumably has
much the same effect upon land as
other sorghums.-Farmers Home
journal.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1916-05-19

there was any i'll feeling between the
two species; indeed, some bird books
say that they sometimes flock to-
gether. There may have been some
purely local squabble over that par
ticular feeding ground but the crack
les were evidently quite serious in
the determination to keep II entirely
for themselves.-Yo Companion.

Western Farmers to Visit Bluegrass

Western Farmers to Visit Bluegrass
Last summer a delegation of Ken
lucky Bluegrass farmers visited the
Pennyrile region of Kentucky and
srent two profitable days inspecting
the farming methods of Warren and
Christian counties. Plans are now
being formulated by Godfrey Morgan
State agent OF Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration Club, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for return visit.
The farmers train will make up
at Hopkinsville, Tuesday, June 6. All
AGENTS in the extreme western part
of the State will meet at Hopkinsville
with their party in time to leave on
the train. Other agents in Western
Kentucky will meet the train at
Guthrie, Russellville, Bowling Green,
Glasgow Junction or any other point
that is most convenient to them. The
train will arrive at Louisville early
on the morning of Wednesday, June
7. and will arrive at Lexington about
$50 o'clock that morning.
June will be spent in Fayette
county visiting the Experiment Sta
ton and some of the best farms of
that section. All agents in Eastern
Kentucky will arrive at Lexington
with parties on the morning of We'd
nesday, June Z. Thursday June s,
will be spent in Pendleton county
studying dairy and soil problems.
Friday, June 8, will he spent in jeff

Two Acres Differ s17.Os in Profits,

Two Acres Differ S17.OS i'm Profits.
Some farmers are finding fault
with one of their best friends. 1t is
a common criticism of soy beans that
grains do not produce well after them
not as well as grains produce after
eowpeas.
The Mammoth yellow bean cannot
be removed from the land as early as
can cowpeas, so that the following
crop cannot be seeded as early after
the former as after the latter. Be-
sides this difference in the date Of
seeding there is also a difference in
the amount of moisture in the soil
after the two summer legumes are
removed. Partly because of a heay-
Ter yield of beans, and partly be-
cause beans mature later, there is
usually less moisture in the land dur
ing the fall growing season after
beans than if the land has grown
peas.
These factors undoubtedly would
account for a greater yield of grain
following peas.
But what is the comparative yield
OF the two summer crops? before any
definite conclusion is drawn concern
ing the merits of the two crops, the
entire annual production and profit
must be taken into account.
At the Tennessee experiment sta
ton there are two individual acres
of similar land. One acre has grown
