ceedlng spring
When the wheat is harvested in June
and July, nearly all of the fiaxseed are
to be found at or below the surface of
the ground resting in the stubble. 1t
has been found that if this stubble Is
turned under to depth of three or
four inches and sealed in by harvesting,
very few adult flies will ever emerge
If such a plan is impossible keeping
down the volunteer during the last of
August and in September will prevent
the flies that do get out from having
green food on which to lay eggs. This
will result in a reduction of numbers,
with these plans must be combined
later seeding.
When an effort has been made to
combat the Hessian fly by early and
deep blowing and by keeping down the
volunteer it is found that a condition
is secured that will permit of later
seeding. (See article on rate and date
of seeding.) A combination of good
preparation, later date, and thicker
rate, of seeding will have done all that
one man can hope to secure a safe and
satisfactory yield of wheat on his OWL
farm. Then if his neighbors viii &c
and do likewise all viii find themselves
in better and safer position. When
such a plan is generally followed 1t IS
probable that the average yield OF
wheat in Ellis County viii be several
points above its present level-13 bu

PLAN FOR HANDLING MANURE
Best Way Is to Haul Fertilizer to
Fields Every Day-Every Farmer
Should Own Spreader.

The very best way of handling ma
nure is to haul it out day by day, or
week by week, as it is made, II this
can be done. Many farmers think
that manure applied in this way will
lose it's value before the next crop is
grown on the land but experiments
show that there is very little loss in
this case unless the land is very
rolling.
The next method of handling ma
nure is to feed under an open she'd
where the manure is kept trampe0
down compactly through the feeding
season and then hauled during the
summer at leisure time. Manure
kept compactly in this way under Gov
err loses very little. OF course, the
practice of feeding the animals di-
rectly on the fields is a good one, but
the difficulty is in getting the manure
scattered over the whole field.
Farmers should understand more
thoroughly the advantages to be de-
rived from the use of manure
spreader and every farm Of 100 acres
or over where cattle are fed around
the buildings should. not be without
this implement.

Are you giving that young foal the

must be well nourished and given ev-

At this time of the year mares and
colts are allowed to spend at least
part of the time in the pasture. The
foal should be taught to eat grain very
early. BY placing the feed box from
which the dam eats her grain low, the
foai, at about two months of age. will
begin nibblng with the mother and
will soon acquire taste for the grain.
A pen built in one corner OF the field
made high enough to keep the mare
out and allow the colt to pass under
will make it possible to feed the foal
grain with very little ihicu.ty. Allow
the mare in the Enclosure with the foal
for few times, and it will soon learn
to go in Itself Keep liberal supply
of grain, preferably oats and bran, and
perhaps some cracked corn, in the
feed box. To duce the dam to loiter
about with the colt have the pen near

besides being in better condition as a

AVOID LUNGWORMS IN SWINE
Treatment Is Worthless on Account
of lnaccessbility of Parasite-Pre-
vention Is Best.

(By A. R. HAMMER, Idaho Experiment
Station.)
Lungworms are one of the most
common parasites of swine. They are
threadlike in appearance, brownish-
white in color and varying in length
from rce-four.hs to one and one.half
inches. They are found in the finer
divisions of the bronchial tubes, mixed
with pucus, which is secreted in
abundance a, result of their pres
ence
Treatment as rule, Is worthless
on account OF the inaccessibility Of the
parasite ard the difficult method Of
application.
Prevention is the only ground on
which we can expect to control this
trouble. AS moist yards make good
place for the development of the eggs,
the yards should be located on high
ground and Well drained.
Keep all manure heaps and straw
stacks cut OF the hog lots for the same
reasons. If possible, change the pas
turage frequently.

MACHINE SHED AND REPAIR
SHOP FOR THE FARM.
G. H. AFFORD,
Maryland Agricultural College.

There should be machine shed and
a repair shop on every farm. One Of
the big losses on many farms Is the
deterioration Of farm machinery. The
greater part Of the loss sustained Is
due to negligence in housing the farm
implements. have had the use Of
workshop practically all my life, and
cannot understand how farmers get
along without one The shop on the
home-place was a necessity, and 1t 10
yet.
The machine shed and the repair
shop may be under one shed. The
building to be efficient. need not be
very expensive There should be
proper drainage to insure dry storage.
There must be ample protection
against sun. wind and rain. The loca-
ton must be convenient so as to be
easily reached with all kinds Of farm
machinery II ought to be 60 con-
structed that 1t is as easy to put the
tools away as 1t Is to have them out,
and 1t must be so arranged that the
different Implements can be reached
without any great inconvenience. A
very convenient shed consists Of
building Of medium width, say 18 or "a
feet, the length being governed by the
number Of machines and implements
to be stored and the size Of the repair
shop which should be a part Of the
building. A building 1895, Is feet
long for implements and 10 feet long
for repair shop Is usutlly considered
ample room for 100 acres Of land.
The shed need not be built very
high, unless one desires storage room

HOW TO IMPROVE
OUR COUNTRY ROADS
VIII 30 Main Subject Discussed BY
Road Men At the Agricultural
College, January 10-15.
T. H. TALIAFERRO,
MARYLAND Agricultural College.


In many sections of Maryland the
character of country roads not only
precludes the ready movement OF farm
products during the winter and early
spring, but reduces to a minimum So
cial intercourses between friends and
neighbors who under better conditions
of travel would relieve the monotony
of winter days by visits so pleasant to
those fortunate enough to have home
in rural community blessed with
good roads. For this reason, In plan
ming for a short course and conference
on road making and maintenance, the
Division of Engineering of the Agricul'
tural College has laid especial
emphasis on the Improvement OF the
country dirt road which may or may
not lead to the main thorouShfares so
well constructed under the direction
of the State Roads Commission. In
addition, having in mind the many
pprpleXng problems which confront
tie Roads Engineers in our counties,
one day In the week has been set
especially apart for free and full
discussion of the county road prob
am by Roads Engineers and Super
visors.
Among the most perplexing of road
problems, probably that of financing
road construction and maintenance
without placing too heavy a burden IN
the way of special taxes stands first
and will be discussed with keenest in.
terest by our county commissioners
and their Acknowledgements. To add to
the information obtanable on this sub
iect. an expert from the Office Of Pub
lie Roads and Rural Engineering has
been invited to lead In the discussion
and give data on what Is being done
in other sections of the country in
meeting this problem.
Other road problems that concern
every person living in the country
vitality will be included in the confer
ences of the week Perhaps, none Will
be more emphasized than hnding
means Of Keeping country roads that

surface our country roads go to pieces
RAPIDLY because no adequate provision
has been made for drainage. Again
many complaints of slippery roads
have been made, where they have been
improved and oiled Regarding this
trouble, an expert from the State
Roads Commission will give the latest
methods OF overcoming it, In fact,
since the road problem Is such an i'm.

IL our belief that the conference and
short course should be largely attend

ers, roads engineers and supervisors
and many others living in Maryland
communities where the road problem
is OF such prime importance. the
complete program Of the short course

WHY NOT GROW PURE BRED
FOWLS ON EVERY FARM7
ROY II. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

MARYLAND poultry raiSers make
nractjce of mixing their breeds. They
use one male this year, get a male
bird Of an entirely different breed next
wear. another the year after, until
finally the flock gets to look as II II had
been struck by lightning. Nothing
could be worse for the poultry In
dustry than this hit or miss breeding
You get stronger, healthier fowls. you
saw. Let us see why you do. When
YOU breed from two birds that are In
anv way related you increase the
chances Of perpetuating any defect
which they may both have. Being re
lated the chances that they will both
have the same defect are increased.
When you cross two breeds or varie
ties the chances of breeding birds to
gether both with the same defect or
fault are greatly diminished. This
then is the only plausible reason for
breeding mixed mongrel flock, Let
us see what it costs us to do this. Let
us see how much we gain or loose in
the long run.
l. A good strain of pure bred will
lay more eggs.
2. Eggs from pure bred will be
more uniform in size, shape and color
8. A pure bred will make better
appearance on the market.
a. The carcass Of pure bred will
make better appearance on the mar
ket on account of uniformity OF size,
shape and color.
5. Breeding stock Of a pure bred
can often be sold to advantage.
s. You cannot help but take pride
in a pure bred flock and will give
them better attention.
Don't you really think that 1t would
really pay to give little more care
to the selection Of breeding stock Of
some good breed, rather than keep on
with flock that the word hash
would very nearly describe.
BY selecting the strongest, most
vigorous and healthy birds for breed
ing, you can keep flock i'll first class
condition. Instead Of perpetuating
defects, you will be making Roadway
in fixing and improving the desirable
qualities and in the mearAne getting
the advantages that we enumerated, as
belonging to the pure bred flock.
