SELECTING GOOD SEED
Best Grade Is Produced Under
Favorable Conditions.
Look Over Various Parts Of Field and
Mark Parts Wanted for Seed
Should Be Stored Separate
From Other Grains.

BY C. P. BULL. University Farm. st.
PauL)
The very best time to get good seed
when it is in the making. Good seed
like good live stock-best when it
ZONES of good ancestry and is produced
1nder favorable conditions. So it is
hat some parts of the fields are better
han others for the production of ma
:ure, well-filled, sound seed; while 9TH
er parts will produce n less valuable
product. Looking over the various
Varts of the field before cutting, one
nay select the parts of the crop to be
handled separately for the next years
seed supply. No extra work or fuss
ng" will be necessary before cutting.
The field may be cut as n whole and
shocked, but extra care is necessary in
setting up shocks in the "secd" part of
the field. A 12-bundle shock with two
cap sheaves will withstand unfavor-
able weather and protect the grain.
AS soon as the grain is field-dry it
should be stacked or threshed. The
seed grain should be put in separate
stack and the cap sheaves should not
Sc allowed in with the other parts of
The shocks. They may go in with the
beed or sale grain. When threshed the
seed grain should be stored separate
from other grain, thus keeping it un-
mixed. When thus kept separate from
field to bin it will be ready at any time
for the last analysis-the tanning mill
before sowing.
1t is not an easy matter always to
Judge the increased profit that comes
from saving seed grain in this manner.
Climate, soil and diseases have much
10 do with the apparent physical con-
dition Of the crop, but in the long
.un, such saving Of seed will give much
stamina to the variety and increase its
yielding capacity.

LIVE STOCK FAVOR ALFALFA
Not Generally Pastured for Reason
Plant Does Not Thrive-No Seri-
Gus Danger Of BIoat.

Alfalfa makes excellent pasture. for
all kinds of live stock, but it is no.
generally pastured for the reason that
it does not stand pasturing well if
heavily pastured with cattle. Light
pasturing, however, is not objection
able. There is no serious danger oc
bloat If the cattle are turned on grad
ually and in the middle of the day
and after they are pretty well filed up
on other pasture. A sudden change OF
feed is not well for hungry stock OF
any kind. You can pasture your al
falfa safely and get good results from
it. but if we were anxious to keep tho
field in alfalfa continuously and get
the greatest yields possible we would
not pasture it.

LATE BLIGHT IS INJURIOUS
Disease of Potatoes Is Especially Seri-
GUS During Wet Seasons
Caused by Fungus.

One of the serious potato diseases is
the late blight. This disease is espe-
cially injurious during wet seasons
Blight is caused by n fungus which
lives over winter in the tubers. When
the diseased tubers. are planted tho
mycelium of the fungus grows up
through the sprouts to the surface of
the ground where spores are produced
on the surface of the stems and leaves.
These spores are blown to other plants
where. with sufficient moisture, they
grow and enter the tissues of tho
plant. branching out in all directions.
Many of the spores fall to the ground.
where they may infect the young
tubers. If the tubers are dug while
the disease is active on the vines.
large numbers Of spores come in con-
tact with the tubers and may produce
infection.

COTTONsEED AS DAIRY FEED
Suppiy-Amount Fed Daily Should
Not Be Large.

By r. s. HULCE. Illinois Experiment
Station)
Cottonseed meal is one of the cheap
est sources of protein supply for dairy
cows. Only meal that is in good con.
dition should be used in a grain mix
ture. Since the meal itself is very
rich concentrate. the amount of cot
tonseed meal fed daily should ordl-
narily not exceed three pounds and
should be used as one of several feeds
in a grain mixture. The characte" of
the grain mixture that should be fed
will depend somewhat on the nature OF

When the wall is inclined inward the

CONTROL OF APPLE DISEASES
Plant Industry in Spraying-Spe-
cial Feature of Work.

The bureau of plant industry has
been doing some extensive work in the
way of spraying for the control Of ap-
pie blotch and apple bitter-rot. The
special feature of this work has been
the discovery of the over-wintering of
the bitter-rot fungus on various small
and minor cankers and On cankers and
injuries produced by other causes, and
the demonstration that when these are
removed full control of bitter-rot can
be obtained.

the rack is dropped team is hitched

SOLID FOUNDATION FOR SILO
There Should Be No Shoulder Left by

The first silo shown has badly con-
structed foundation. The second is
approximately correct. There should
be no shoulder left by the wall, as
this causes spoiled silage. The founda-
ton wall, and, in fact, the walls of the
entire silo, should be as smooth as pos
sible. If due care is used in trampinG

DRY CLIMATE FOR DEWBERRY

The dewberry does best in dry cli-
mate when mulched with old hay or
straw. This berry spreads like the
strawberry by roofing down at the
joint and the muIching prevents too
many plants starting.
Many persons prefer the dewberry

UNIFORM COLOR is DESIRED
coiorine Should Be Added Just Before
churning Begins-Overchurning
is Undesirable.

A uniform color in the butter from
one season to the other is desirable,
hence during the winter when the
cows are getting dry feed a little col
Oring should be added. Too much col
Oring however, is very undesirable.
When coloring is used it should be
added just before the churning begins.
Stopping the churn at the proper
time has much to do with the quality
of the butter. 1t should be stopped
when the butter is in the form of
granules' about the size of a kernel of
wheat or a tritle larger. When the
butter is churned to too small gran
ules many of them will 90 through the
buttermilk Strainer and will cause
more or less loss. OverChurning is I'M
desirable because the butter will retain
considerable buttermilk, which is diff
cult to remove and which also tends to
cause the butter to deteriorate faster
AS soon as the churning has been COM
pleted, the buttermilk should be drawn
off.

BLACKLEG is TO BE AVOIDED
infectious Disease Usually Attacks
Cattle Between Ages of Six
Months and Two Years.

The infectious disease known as
Dlackleg usually affects cattle between
the ages of six months and two and
One-half years. 1t gains entrance to
the tissues through small wounds on
the skin.
A swelling occurs beneath the skin
on the headquarters, the shoulder, or
the lower portion of the neck. If the
hand is passed over this swelling it
crackles, and if cut into, a yellowish,
bloody fluid flows out The carcasses
of dead animals should be buried or
burned and the spots where they died
should be disinfected.
The healthy cattle should be re-
moved from infected pastures and all
susceptible cattle should be vaccinated.
