There are many kinds Of soil to be
encountered - hard shale, cemented
gravel, sand, stones, loose loan, soft
muck, and sticky clay. None Of the
machines will handle solid rock. The
ideal machine will handle all kinds of
soil, with but minor changes Of parts,
without breaking or stopping and at a
minimum expense for purchase, oper-
alton, repairs and depreciation. Open
or skeleton eXcavating buckets are
best suited to sticky soils. while solid
buckets are necessary in loose dry
soils, though some machines have ef-
ficient cleaning devices that permit the
use of solid buckets for any kind OF
material. A machine must be strong
to work through shale or stony ground
but If increased strength entails added
weight, the efficiency and adaptability
may be affected. A heavy machine
can not work over soft ground unless
fitted with rather costly apron tractors
instead of the driving wheels.

Wet versus dry mash is question
that has received much attention from
experimenters during the past few
years. The general consensus OF
opinion at the present time IS that the
dry mash Is the most desirable. Many
practical poultrymen. however, still
prefer the wet mash. Labor Is one OF
the greatest problems that the poultry
raiser has to consider, consequently, II
he can find a method which will be
labor saving and yet give results, 1t IS
worthy of consideration. Dry mash
fed in hoppers is easier to handle than
any kind Of wet mash. Hoppers are
now made which are rat-proof, san
itary and convenient. These can be
filed once a week and are found sat-
isfactory. Experiments have proved
that eggs produced by hens fed a dry
mash are more fertile than those laid
nv hens fed a wet mash. Wet mash Is
slightly more forcing, is inconvenlent
to feed and requires more care IN
keeping the feeding vessels clean.

The invention of suitable appliances
for tile trenohing has been stimulated
by three agencies-the rising prices OF
labor, the rapid extension of tile
drainage for farm lands, and the
growing practice of using large tile in
stead Of open bitches of moderate size
for community outlets, especially
where the depth of cut is rather great.
Where wide trenches are dug by
hand deeper than or feet, the
material must be handled at least
twice, since the dirt can not be thrown
back from the edge Of the trench at
the first handling. Besides reducing
the amount and cost Of labor, q good
machine greatly lessons the time
nee essary for doing the work, which Ia
often of considera BILE advantage, apart
from any saving in direct money cost.
Difficulties such as occasionally arise
where many unskilled workmen are
employed may be largely avoided by
the use of machinery requiring only q
small crew. The many types Of equip
ment for trenching vary from special
plows and scoops Of ordinary size to
elaborate machines costing thousands
of dollars. The smaller kinds are lin
tied in depth and width Of trench.

material assistance in such work. If
as much as 1900 rods of tile drain
are to be laid, the landowner will be
justified in purchasing horse drawn
pillow at $3.50 to $500, provided the soil
is free from rock and large roots.
The installation of 5000 rods of drain
tile will justify the purchase Of a
rower- driven trenching machine for
$500, provided the machine can sub
sequentiy be sold for one-half its
original cost.
The various types of trenching
machines are divided into four classes:
Cd Plows and scoops, (2) wheel exca-
vators. (3) endless-chain excavators,
ca scraper excavators The plows
and scoops range in price from SIS for

FIELD NICE DESTRUCTIVE,

A circular letter from the United
States Department Of Agriculture calls
attention to the losses to orchardists,
nurserymen and farmers from field
mice, of which there are $4,000 species
known to exist in this country. but the
farmer recognizes only two kinds, mead
ow mice and pine mice. These mice are
tenacious Of life and multiply with
great rapidly. They cannot live with
out eating and they take their choice
Of such food as may be at hand. If
nothing better can be found the mice
feed upon the bark of trees or upon
the roots Of grasses and shrubs, de-
stroying grass, cutting down grain,
clover and alfalfa. eating the grain in
shocks or granaries, injuring flowers
and vegetables, and doing harm in a
hundred ways. In one part Of Ne
vada the mice totally ruined $4,000
acres of alfalfa. Large blocks Of nur-
sery trees are totally destroyed each
season by mice.

classes are usually elaborate machines
costing $1,000 to $4,000, which may
not be profitable investments for the
average farmer who has only small
amount of draining to do. However,
where there is much drainage to be
done it will be we'll for, the landowner
to investigate the advisability Of pur-
chasing some trencher which has a
detachable tractor. When not needed
for trenching, the tractor may easily
be separated from the digging ap-
paratus and used in all the ways in
which farm tractor is ordinarily
employed Another method of secur-
ing the services of a power machine Is
for several landowners to combine in
purchasing It.
The cost of trenching by machinery
must include, besides the expense for
operation and repairs, interest on the
investment and proper charges for de-
probation of the machine. The in
terest and depreciation charges are
continuous whether the machine Is
working or idle. The real difference in
cost of trenching by machinery and
by hand is not so great as it is often
supposed to be. but many times there
are advantages in having the work
done quickly or in employing only a
few men instead of large number.
The more expensive machines will be
profitable If the owners can keep them
busy a large part Of the time.

The field pea Is an annual plant
with slender stems two to fout feet
high, which stands erect only where
there are other plants to which they
can cling. The plants seldom have
more than three stalks and very often
only one or two. The heritage Is
pale green with whitish bloom on
the surface. Each leaf bears usually
two or three pairs of leaflets and is
terminated by slender, branched
tindril. The hanging pods are about
three inches long, each containing five
to nine nearly round seeds.
The garden pea Is cultivated pri-
marily as a green vegetable, or as a
grain crop for human food; the field
pea is grown for hay or for grain to
feed to animals. In many cases.
however, the same variety Is grown for
both purposes.
Generally speaking. the varieties
with wrinkled yellowish or greenish
seeds and white flowers are classed as
garden peas; while those with smooth
seeds are considered field peas. Some
field-pea varieties have yellow seeds
and white flowers, while others have
colored blossoms and brown, marbled,
mottled, or speckled seeds.
Some confusion of name has arisen
in this country because in the South
the cowpea is often called the field
pea, while In the same region the
garden pea is distinguished as the
English pea. The cowpea is really

THE RIPENING OF CREAM.

BY the ripening Of cream is meant
the changes it undergoes from tho time
of separation until it is added to the
churn. Upon these changes depends
very largely the quality of butter as
regards texture and flavor. The tenn
perature at which cream is held de-
termines the firmness or texture, while
the flavor is dependent upon the by
products from the bacterial growth.
The purpose Of ripening cream is
fundamentally that of giving the but
ter the desired flavor and aroma but
in addition it increases the ease and
efficiency Of churning. Cream Is
ripened in one of two ways:
First, 1t sours CIR ripens as result
Of the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk and cream
or, --.' ....
Second, it ripens as a result OF &C.

are added in what is termed a

seed. Any or all of these parts is
liable to disease. Some plants, for in
stance. like the turnip or carrot, are
cultivated for the root; some for the
stem or branches, like the asparagus
or celery; some for the leaf, like the
lettuce; and great many different
kinds for the flowers, fruit or seed.
If the root or stem Is diseased, in a
sense of being in an injured or un-
healthy condition, the flow of water
from the ground will be cut of or
interfered with, and the remainder Of
the plant suffer accordingly. If the
leaves are injured or destroyed, their
functions will be interfered with and
the rest Of the plant suffer from star

crop will be injured or destroyed If

The development Of plants and the

The development Of plants and the
nature Of the products which they
bear are Influenced by two principal
factors. First.-The inherent quality
Of the plant itself, transmitted
through the seed or bud; second.-The
nature Of the environment in which
the plant develops. One factor is as
important as the other. The character
Of the mature plant Is the result or
two sets of forces. The first of these
is the inherent capacity of the seed
to develop and produce normal IN
diyidual CT It's kind. The second set
of forces constitutes the environment
in which the plant grows and or Whlch
the soil is one part, the other COM
ronent being climate.
Ideal conditions for the production
of any crop may be summarized as
follows:
IN THE PLANT: Proper inherent
qualities Of growth and production.
IN THE AIR: Proper temperature,
moisture light, chemical composition,
freedom from injurious influences.
IN THE SOIL: Proper moisture,
aera ton chemical composition, physl-
cal composition, freedom from injur-
ious influences.
In other words, the plant needs IN
Its environment, for successful deVel-
II pinent, proper degree of heat mols-
t.lre, air, light and food, and freedom
5:..on injurious influences. Any serious
departure from these ideal conditions
results in the presence of disease.

mental principles of normal plant

Kill Lice and Save Pork

It has been estimated that q $50.
pound hog has $4,000 drops of blood.
Suppose he Is supporting 1000 lice and
each takes one drop Of blood per day.
What per cent of his blood will be
lost daily and who will pay the bill ?
The question is a very important
one. Lice are worse in winter than in
summer. The hogs pile UP closely and
spend much time in their beds. The
lice take advantage of the situation
and breed rapidly.
To remove the lice Is neither din.
cult nor expensive. Dipping or spray
ing with coal-tar compounds Is dan
gerous in winter. but three other
treatments are available. These are:
l. Equal parts Kerosene and machine
oil mixed together and applied with
an oil can, brush or swab.
2. Crude oil (thinned with kero.
sene, if too thick), applied with .
brush as spray.
8. Powdered staphisagria busted on
the pigs, or stepped as a tea and ap-
FLIED with brush or as spray.
For small bunch the frst treat
ment is the most convenient, but when
one has many hogs the crude OIL 10
cheaper. Be sure to apply behind the
ears and In both TANKS. The lice pre-
fer folds Of the skin.
Clean the beds and pens thoroughly,
also. If these are thoroughly sprayed
with the oil, there should be no further
trouble from the lice. II the hogs
sleep in straw sheds, one can keep
them free from lice by treating them
every two weeks. Try it!-R. G. ASH
