HOGGING OFF CORN
is EXCELLENT PLAN
When Crop Is Fed in Field Where
Grown, Plant Food Is Re-
turned to the Soil.

The advantages of hogging off corn
are as follows:
1. More pork produced from the
corn crop.
2. Rapid and economical gains are
made by the hogs.
3. Labor and expense is saved In
harvesting and marketing the corn
crop.
4. Crib space is saved because corn
that Is hogged off does not have to be
stored.
5. The cornstalks are In better con-
dition for the growing of next years
crop.
6. The corn crop is fed in .he field
where grown, thus the plant food con-
tained in the crop is, to large ex-
tent, returned to the soil.
Z. The manure produced by the hogs
is evenly scattered over the land

TOO MUCH GRAIN FED IN GROWING BEEF

Nearly twice as much grain is given
under ordinary conditions of beef
growing as can be used, says T. L.
Hacker of University farm, st. Paul,
ducting experiments in fattening cat
tie. According to Mr.. Hacker, it
does not add to the farmers bank ac-
count to overfeed the cattle and ex-
pect the hogs to dig the waste out of
the manure pile. Feeding expert
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1916-11-09

The grain cost for the five chief
groups of steers used lit experiments
by Mr.. Hacker. averaged for the first
year $14.32 head and for the second
S54.24 for the grain feed for a two
year-Old steer finished for market.
A small daily gain was found to be
more profitable. A gain of little less
than two pounds day was kept up
on these steers. 1t gave better results
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1916-11-09

could not be maintained.
The cost of producing additional
gains increases as the cattle become
heavier. The tests show that the cost
of feeding calves to a weight of 100
pounds is about 10 cents a pound.
From 200 to 300 pounds the feed costs
40 cents a pound. A pound in the
900 to 1,0OO-round period costs 9.3
cents. and in the 1,400 to 1,5OO-pound
period it costs 1914 cents.
1t is believed that when less grain
is fed and more roughage given to
beef cattle the production of beef will
become more common.

FIRE IN annex TO
SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Monday morning at about $3.50 the
thrilling tones OF the fire bell awoke
many from their peaceful morning slum-
bers. 1t was discovered that the annex
of the public school building was Oh
fire. The ianitor, Mr. Hanson, had
been over early and started the furnace
fire so that the building would be warm
and in readiness for the little ones at
school time, and then returned to his
home close by. As he was on his way
to the barn to milk his COW he looked
up and discovered the building 20 be on
fire. The alarm was Immediately sent
in and the fire department was soon on
the scene. A spark from the chimney
had set fire to the roof. This was soon
extipguished and with but very small
damage to the building. The interior
did not suffer at all from the fire and
school IN this department began on time

Cuttino Diamonds.

The method of cutting diamonds Is
a very delicate one. diamond dust be-
ing largely used for the cutting, as no
steel is hard enough for the purpose.
1t is remarkable that the diamond cut

feet brilliants. but sometimes there are
cut 100 to a carat, carat weight be-
ing only 3D. grains, and when shown
In a bit of white paper look like a

chased for any price within reason.

RURAL SCHOOLS
NEED ATTENTION
Commissioners talks about
Standard Schools. Alle-
gan county leads in num-
Der of standard schools

Progress in educational lines has been
very rapid in the past ten years but the
rural schools while much improved have
not kept up with the better village
schools and the boys and girls in the
country do not have the advantages ed
ucationally that come to the children OF
graded school districts. Under the pres
ent system we do not believe that this
disparity will ever be removed but we
do believe that the rural school can
be made much better than it is. Schools
Of course are only good and bad by com.
parison and In order to "standardize"
educationally to arouse the spirit of i'm
provement among the people and to lay
out field of definite achievement the
Department OF Public Instruction pro-
vides the Standard School plan. A GER
tain degree Of excellence in environment
in comfortable and sanitary conditions,
and 10 the ability and character Of the
teacher is fixed upon as necessary for
an efficient school. Upon meeting the
requirements the State OF Michigan will
set an especial mark OF approval IN the
form OF a metal plate bearing the words
STANDARD SCHOOL,.
In order that the term STANDARD"
may be an indication of state and not
local conditions the inspection and award
are always made by the Superintendent
OF Public Instruction or his deputy.
Allegan county leads the state in the
eXcellency of her rural schools having
30 Standard schools. Van Buren, Co.
ranks in the twenties with four schools
of that class; but the people of our
county are going to do much to improve
conditions the coming year as is shown
by the fact that 25 school boards have
asked to have Mr.. Otwell who will be 10
the county from the 18th to the 2lst of
this month, visit their school building
and talk over improvements withathem.
Have you Standard School in your
district?

CONTROLLING THE
SAN JOSE SCALE
Timely suggestion for fruit
growers, by Prot. l.. X.
Taft, State Inspector of
Nurseries and Orchards

The San Jose scale is present In many
orchards In the southern half Of Mich
igsn and. unless active measures are
taken for it's control, it will not only kill
the trees how infested but will spread
to others and make it difficult for those
who are spraying their orchards to save
their trees.
The state law requires all persons hav-
ing trees or shrubs infested with this la.
sect TO effectually spray, or destroy them,
10 order that the spread OF the Insect
may be checked The law also makes
it the duty of this office to specify the
treatment which will be acceptable.
The standard remedy is lime. sulphur
solution, and il may be used at the rate
of one part to eight parts of water, il it
contains "a per cent of sulphur in sou-
ton The amount of water should be
reduced proportionaGely for weaker solu-
tions.
The sulphide of sodium, known as
Soluble Sulphur Compound, will also be
accepted if used at the rate Of ID to 20
pounds for so gallons Of solution.
Scalecide one of the miscible oils may
be used at the rate of one part to fifteen
parts of water.
These remedies may be used while the
trees are dormant, ana are most effect
ual when applied just as the leaf buds
begin to open. but before the blossoms
show a pink color.
The benefits from these remedies will
depend almost entirely upon the thor
oughness with which they are applied;
and, to get the best results the trees
should be sprayed from four sides. In
case proper care was not taken and the
young scales appear on the trees during
the first week 10 July, the trees should
be sprayed between July 10 and 18th,
using one gallon Of lime-sulphur solu-
ton ia 25 gallons of water. This should
not be used upon peach or Japan plum
trees. Care should also be taken ia
using 'Soluble Sulphur Compound"
upon the foliage, particularly with paris
green or arsenate Of lead.
With concerted action there will be
no difficulty in controlling these insects.
