DRAINAGE ADDS TO
 ACRES AND PROFITS
Practice Improves Physical Con. dition of Soil by Making It
 Porous and FriabIe.

Lands that are too wet for the most profitable production of crops should be drained. Even uplands may often be drained with profit. especially hill sides subject to erosion or inclined to be "spouty." Indeed, drainage is profitable wherever it is necessary to the fullest use of the land.
 It is not uncommon for lands too wet for cultivation to produce, when drained, 60 or 70 bushels of corn or oats to the acre. On much of the drained land the increase of yield is from 25 to 100 per cent, and by the increase yield and the decreased cost of cultivation the value of the land is often doubled.
 Drainage improves the physical con- dition of the soil by making it more porous and friable.
 Drained land can be plowed earlier in the spring than undrained land.
 Health conditions are also improved by the drainage of swamps and stand ing water.

FARM FERTILIZERS
 HAVE GREAT VALUE
Barnyard Manure Improves Soil and Makes It Easier to Han
 dIe-Other Benefits.

Barnyard manure has value on the farm aside from that as a fertilizer. It improves the physical conditions of the soil and makes it easier to handle. It's decay produces heat and it's pres ence aids chemical and bacterial proc esses. Moreover, it absorbs and holds large amount of water and helps to aerate the soil. The benefits of these indirect aids to plant growth are in some cases worth as much as the fer tilizing power of the manure.
 These are observations made by F. l.. kennard, agronomist in the North west experiment station at Crookston, in response to numerous questions re- ceived from farmers.
 When it is added that barnyard man. ure is worth perhaps s2.50 a ton, and that each farm animal produces from five to seven tons per 1000 pounds of live weight each year, it is easy to see that as fertilizer the material should not be wasted.
 The best practice is to haul the stuff directly from the barn to the fields. If this is done, there is little loss through fermentation or teaching.

REMEDY FOR BL0AT
 GIVEN IN BULLETIN
Experts of Kentucky Station Rec ommend Solution of For
 maIin as a Drench.

The cause of and a remedy for clo- yer bloat have been found by D. J. Healy and J. w. Nutter of the Ken lucky agricultural experiment station. These facts are announced in Circular No. 5, recently issued by the Ken lucky station:
 Red clover blossoms contain about 3.6 per cent of sugar, alfalfa blossoms, 2.S per cent; white clover blossoms, 2,4 per cent. After being eaten by stock this sugar undergoes rapid fer mentation and is converted into car bon dioxide. This causes the bloating.
 The authors of the bulletin strongly recommend for acute bloating one quart of 11a per cent solution of for malin. After this is administered, a wooden block should be placed in the animals mouth, and the animal should be given gentle exercise if it can be got on it's feet.
 Formalin is trade name for a 40 per cent solution of formaldehyde gas In water and may be obtained at any drug store for about 40 cents a pint One-half ounce of formalin in one quart of water is the proper solution with which to drench an animal.

rowing after rolling was not as good as rolling alone, probably due to loos- | ening up the plants again after the roller had pressed them firmly into the soil.
 Early spring rolling of winter grain, pressing the earth as it does firmly about the plant roots produces good results. When frost comes out in the spring it is very apt to leave the soil filled with small cracks or checks, especially around the plants. If these checks are closely examined it will be seen that a large number of roots are thus exposed, and if the weather continues dry they are killed or at least injured. If the soil is not wet at the time of rolling-and it should never be rolled when wet-roll- ing aids in no small degree to form surface mulch.
 The Nebraska experiments, there fore, point quite clearly to the con- clusion that under ordinary conditions of normal seasons in humid regions winter wheat is sufficiently benefited by rolling to make the practice profit able, while narrowing is not to be rec commended under such conditions.

long tail feathers are left on the ducks, the wings are picked to the first joint and the neck half way to the head. Long pinfeathers are removed with a dull knife. and the down sometimes is rubbed off with the moistened hand, burned with alcohol or shaved with very sharp knife. Large duck farms usually have pickers who devote their time entirely to the dressing of ducks during the killing season and are very proficient in this work
 Removing Feathers by Steaming.
 Ducks may be steamed and picked, thus saving the feathers without arti- ficial drying, and as duck feathers are of considerable value, their sale is quite an important item. The wing and tail feathers are pulled and thrown to one side before steaming the ducks Six or eight ducks, which have been stuck and hung up to bleed, are placed on hooks in the top of a steam box or barrel which can be made airtight, and steamed until the soft feathers on the breast come off easily. The length of time to leave them in the box depends on the temperature of the steam, vary ing from one-half to two minutes Two sets of pickers usually pluck the ducks; one set, called the roughers, removing the bulk of the feathers, while the other, called the primers, re- moves the down and some of the
 
 removing the down is to sprinkle powdered resin over the ducks body and dip the bird into hot water, which melts the resin so that the down and resin can be rubbed off easily with the hand, leaving the body clean. When carefully steamed the birds rarely show any signs of scalded flesh In some cases the ducks are hung in the steam box with the heads outside. thus preventing the head from being steamed; but when the birds are steamed as described above the heads are not discolored.
 After the ducks are picked they are usually washed and put in ice water for an hour or two to cool and plump. Each layer of ducks is packed flat in ice, usually with the keels or breasts down, in barrels, or in boxes holding one dozen each.
 It costs from five to six cents apiece to pick ducks, but the body feathers and down usually are saved, as white feathers bring from 40 to 50 cents q pound when cured. Each duck yields about two ounces of marketable feath. CTS. Scslded feathers may also be dried and sold

WHOLE cows MILK
 IS BEST FOR CALF
Indigestion Often Results When Young Animals Are Raised
 on Skim Milk.

CBy GEORGE H. GLOVER. Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
 Calves raised on skim milk are usually runty, pot-bellied, and suffer indigestion. Whole cows milk is a perfect food for the calf, but skim milk is not. When the fat is removed a substitute is sometimes made by adding a handful of flaxseed meal or cornmeal, but this sort of fat is not a full substitute for butterfat.
 It is still a debatable question whether it pays in the long run to rob the future COW by stunting the calf for the sake of immediate profits. The practice of taking the calf immediately away from the COW is the usual thing in the dairies and, assuming that it is an economical thing to do, the ques- tion is how to feed calves on artificial food and keep them growing properly
 During the first few weeks the calf any food save whole cows milk. If he must subsist on skim milk, a little flaXseed meal or cornmeal had better be added to the ration. The milk should always be given warm and never when it is frothy. Calves should never be given enough skim milk to entirely satisfy their hunger. If indi. gestion develops, they should be kept on short rations for day or two. If SCOUTS develop little formalin added to the milk, combined with a restrict. ed diet, will usually control it within a few days.

For several years comparative tests have been made by the Nebraska ex- pertinent station of narrowing and roll ing winter wheat, the following ac- count of which is given by MT. E. G. Montgomery:
 Flats were seeded to Turkish red winter wheat, some sown broadcast, others put in with a press drill. Some of the plats were narrowed in both fall and spring, while others were har- rowed only in the spring, while third set was rolled.
 It was quite evident from the re- suits that no benefit was derived from the narrowing. In fact narrowing broadcast wheat resulted in an aver age loss of almost three bushels per acre, while narrowing drilled wheat resulted in a loss of nine-tenths of a bushel per acre."
 The results from rolling were con- elusive. In no year did it fail ito give an increased yield, the average in- crease being 5.1 bushels per acre."
 The rolling was given early in the spring, soon after frost was out, and about the time growth started. Har-

 Disbudding and Summer Pruning.
 Disbudding and pinching back of the young shoots of fruit trees are the only hope of those who have neglected to prune properly during the fall and win ter and yet wish to control somewhat the shape and fruiting habits of the trees for the coming season. On the other hand, many expert growers who have properly attended to pruning study their trees carefully in the sum mer and by disbudding and pinchins are able still further to control theiI growth. Some experts starting with very young trees rely almost wholly on disbudding and pinching, because they say that it is more logical to di rect the strength of the tree than t. allow it to waste it's energies in form ing wood which only has to be cut of by a pruning knife. These processes however. call for even greater care than ordinary pruning because, O, course, it is easier to injure growing tree than to deal with a dormant ons
 In the case of older trees however disbudding and pinching, of course are not substitutes for pruning and gettin' rid of old wood. Once a tree has es tablished old wood, disbudding simply controls the development of nev shoots and the saw or pruning hook alone will dispose of interfering branches or old growth.
 Disbudding should begin when the young buds are large enough to be pinched out with the thumb and finger The process should be repeated rather than an attempt made to take off many buds at a time The buds which are left should remain where they will grow up and close up the open tree spaces and bring about a more com pact form. Disbudding is often prac- ticed on fruit trees grown under glass, where the branches must necessarily be kept within very small area and where conservation of the vigor of the tree is of great importance. Disbud ding is often practiced with advantage on apples, peaches, pears and other fruit trees and vines
 Summer pruning is similar in meth cd and results in the control of growth without the removal of foliage It con- sists in pinching off the extreme termi nal buds of the growing shoots, result. ing in checking and redirecting the growth without injury to the vitality Of the plant. The injuries sustained by rude and careless destruction of foliage are well exemplified in the management of grapes where the sum. mer pruning is delayed until it is con, sidered necessary to cut from 12 to 20 inches from the tip of each shoot, so checking the plants that further growth will be slow and the fruit will fail to mature. Full and perfect matur. ity of fruit depends upon full growth Of healthy, mature foliage.
 Complete information on pruning ana disbudding may be secured by writing the editor of the Division of Publications of the United States de. partment of agriculture, asking for Farmers Bulletin No. 181.

QFrom the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 The highest prices are paid for ducks marketed early in the spring, the price decreasing as the season ad- vances and the supply becomes more abundant The demand for greer" ducks, which is the term used to de- scribe those grown rapidly and mar keted when only eight to twelve weeks old, when they weigh about four and one-half to six pounds, has been built up in large cities in the East and on the Pacific coast. There is very lit tie demand for such ducks in small cities and towns. Many farmers mar ket their ducks in the fall as spring ducks at a lower price per bird than is received for green ducks in the spring.
 Ducks may be dressed by dry pick Ing, by scalding, or by steaming. Their condition is best judged by the amount of flesh on their backs. The methods used in dry picking poultry are also used with ducks, although the latter are harder to pick The ducks are gen orally killed by sticking in the mouth or through the throat with a knife which has a narrow blade about four inches long, and then stunned by a blow on the back of the head with a short club or the knife may be insert ed just back of the eye. To facilitate handling in scalding and picking, a hook is run into the ducks mouth, coming out through the nostril The
