CONCRETE FLOORS FOR DAIRY
lnsures Steady Motion for Separator
Make It Possible to Save Some
of Liquid Manure.

prepared by Dairy Division Of Clemson
The Babcock test never makes q
mistake
Real money is lost by having COWS
calve in spring instead of fall.
1t is a good rule to have every COW
in herd tested at least once a year
for tuberculosis
To insure steady motion, a separa-
tor must be fastened to a solid foun-
dation. A concrete floor gives this
better than anything else.
Sometimes lack of exercise causes
barrenness in dairy cattle 1t Is never
we'll to allow the dairy COW to take on
much fat. Always give her plenty of
exercise.
The average COW in full milk flow
will consume from thirty to forty
pounds of slage to advantage. Add
to this some ten pounds of dry fod.
der, and the roughage feed is com.
plete.
Only concrete floors should be per.
mitted in a dairy barn. They cost
more, perhaps, originally, but they arc
the cheapest in the long run For one
thing, they make It possible to save
some of the liquid manure, a very val.
liable item.

This is one of the best SEASONS of
the year for building and repairing
fences, as one can go out Immediately
after a soaking rain and set twice as
many posts as he usually can, because
OF the softness of the ground.
Then the strenuous season that tries
fences has just passed, and their re-
pairing and building thus is more nee
essary, Also, If the ground should
freeze before the work is done. these
needed repairs cannot be done so cas-
lily or so efficiently.
BY doing all fencing, gate hanging
and repairing this fall. one will avoid
having these jobs on hand when the
rush season comes on next spring. at
which time the work is apt to be
neglected or sighted in the hurry to
get to the field so that the crops thus
are exposed to the stock more than
they should be through the entire
summer season.
Good fences insure the farmer know
ing right where he will find any stock
he may desire to see. They not only
save the time many farmers expend
in chasing around over the country
searching for their stock, but they pre-
vent the neighbors' stock from break

between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no

CORRECT START WITH SWINE
Investment Of About S225 Is Necessary
for Breeding Animals, Hog Houses
and Pastures.

For a man to begin in the correct
way, with three good brood sows. an
investment of about 1925 is necessary
for breeding animals, fencing. hog
houses and the establishment of per-
manent pastures.
The total cost of producing a crop
of As pigs, which one should obtain in
a year from three good sows, will be
about S4S6 The cost per hundred
weight, estimating pigs at 200 pounds
each, would be about five dollars, or
five cents per pound. Under ideal
conditions however, it is entirely pos
sible to produce hogs as low as three
to three and one-half cents per pound.
The average selling price for hogs
on foot in the South is at least eight
or nine cents per pound and often it
is much higher. Calculating the profit
on the produce of three sows with a
cost of five cents per pound and a
selling price of eight cents, the profit
per SOW for year would be S9350,
or total for the three sows of $3.50 So.
If the size of the litters is small
for one of many possible reasons, the
profits will be severely cut For in
stance, if the three sows produce only
80 pigs, the profit will be only s34 per
SOW. or s102 for the three To return
large profits, sows must produce large
litters and pigs must have large guam.

ORCHARD
GLLANINGy
NUT TREES THRIVE IN NORTH
Hickory Is Most Popular and Is Found
in Many Substitute Time
and Labor Required.

There are very few sections OF the
northern states where the shellbark,
hickory and pecan trees cannot be
grown. The hickory is more common
ly found, and is a native of many
states The pecan is usually found
along river or creek bottoms, but can
be transp anted to any soil, sand or
clay, with fair success.
The hickory does not stand trans
planting SO well as the pecan. Both
can be grown from the nuts and the
nut-growu trees give the best results
producing nuts younger and forming
fine trees, as the growing in the open
from the start adapts the tree to the
location and there is no stunt from
transplanting.
The pecan or shellbark when grown
In the open produce wonderful crops
of nuts. If grown on high land the
trees will never be large for forest
trees, but when grown on any low
rich moist SOIL the trees make rapid
growth, soon growing into large fine
shaped trees.
There is always some uncultivated
spot on the farm where a few nut
trees could be grown. 1t requires but
little time and labor to plant them
and within a few years the home will
have supply of fine sweet nuts, each
year.

TO PREVENT WINTERKlLLING
Alternate Freezing and Thawing
Causes Plants to Die Out-Straw
Mulch Is Recommended.

The object of mulching strawberries
in the fall is to prevent winterkilling
Winterkilling is usually caused by
the plants dying out too much during
the winter months, or by alternate
freezing and thawing.
The best mulch material to use is
clean straw; this is placed on the
plants to inches deep after the
ground has been frozen.
In the spring after the ground is
thawed, the straw is worked around
the plants, writes F. F. McCune in
Farmers Mail and Breeze. This serves
several purposes, such as keeping the
patch free from weeds, conserving
the moisture, and forming a clean mat
for the berries to ripen on.
After the fruit has ripened the
straw should be removed.

EASY WAY OF PROPAGATING
Cut Shoots of New Growth Of Currant
Bushes Soon as Leaves Fall
Soil Should Be Sandy.

(By S. G. COOKE, Connecticut Expert
ment Statlon)
AS soon as the leaves Of the currant
bushes fall cut the shoots of new
growth into lengths four or FIVE inches
long; bunch as you do asparagus, and
tie firmly and place in trench with
the small ends down; cover about one
inch deep, and the soil should be quite
sandy, If possible.
Just before cold weather turn them
over and let them remain until spring,
when the cuttings will be In fine shape

 From 1S9Sto 1910, the House of Wanamaker withheld thousands of dollars in customs revenue. Twelve years of deception in connection with shipments from the Wanamaker Paris office!
 On March 3, 1913. the day before President Wilson took office, John Wanamaker paid the Government $1OO,OOO in settlement. Extreme haste marked the compromise Secretary MacVeagh and Collector Loeb exerting extraordinary efforts to close and hide the case
 But Secretary McAdoo reopened the case. On June 16, 1914, Wanamaker confessed again and paid over another $1OO 900. In addition, Secretary McAdoo cleaned out the customs service at Phil adelphia putting trusted men on guard.
