MOST PROFITABLE OF CROPS
Sweet Potato Of Great Value as Food
for Human Beings and Animals;
Has Industrial Value.

Whether It Is to be used as a food
for the table, as feed crop for ami
mails or a producer of starch, the sweet
potato is probably one Of the most
profitable crops the South Carolina
farmer can grow.
The best method of planting sweet
potatoes is with cuttings from vines.
If slip beds were not set out early
enough this year for plants to be suf-
ficiently large for good vine cuttings at
this time, or If no slips were grown,
1t is advisable to buy cuttings from
nelghbor. Planting slips is more ex-
penslve than vine cuttings. Besides,
the fungi which produce rots are less
likely to be carried on vine cutting
than on slips pulled directly from the
old potatoes. Thus potatoes grcwn
from vine cuttings will probably be
freer from rot than those grown from
slips.
A fertilizer suggested for sweet po-
tatoes is 500 pounds KANT, 300 pounds

SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY WORM
Look Out When Hog Apparently suf.
fers Paralysis of Hind Parts and
Inability to Rise.

Symptoms of kidney worms in hogs
are the imperfect use Of the hind legs,
inclination to lie down, a seeming par
alysis Of the hind parts and inability
to rise on the hind feet. According
to some authorities the kidney worm
is not common among hogs though oc-
casionally one or two hogs in herd
may suffer from its presence. 1t is not
found in the substance of the kidney
but in the hollow portion, in which
the secretion of urine takes place.
What Is said to be certain cure is 10
pour tablespoonful of turpentine
across the loins or small of the back,
daily for several days. Another rem
edy is to mix and feed in the nights
meal for three days one teaspoonful of
sulphate Of iron (copperas) and one
teaspoonful of sulphur. Sometimes
longer treatment is necessary. Corn
soaked in I've made from wood ashes
has been used with success at the
first appearance of the complaint.

TREATMENT or TREE WOUNDS
Use of White Lead, Zinc, Yellow oehre
and Other Materials Said to
Be Detrimental.

Recent experiments conducted by the
New York station tend to contradict
the generally accepted opinion of fruit
growers regarding the ACCESSIBILITY Of
treating wounds caused by the removal
Of branches from trees.
From the results of this work Ii Is
concluded that the use of white lead,
white zinc, yellow Ochre, coal tar, and
shellac for wounds under five inches
In diameter is not only useless but u.s.
ually detrimental to the tree. This Is
particularly true of peaches and per-
haps of other stone fruits.
The substances mentioned retarded
the healing of the wounds; white lead
proved the best, but it is not thought
worth while to use even white lead
on wounds two or three inches or less
in diameter, though 1t may be advis-
able to use 1t on wounds where very
large branches have been removed.
On the larger wounds, where much
surface is exposed, the white lead
helps to keep out moisture and organ
isms which cause decay. The smaller
wounds heal so quickly that the evil
effects Of covering may more than off,
set the benefits derived from its use.

GOOD GREEN mANURING CROP
Big Value OF Sweet Glover Is to Turn
Under TO Improve SoIl-Foliage
Has Bitter Taste.
(By c. b. HUTCHINSON, Missouri Col
Iaga Of AgrfCt1Iftrra 4

(By G. b. HUTCHINSON, Missouri Col-
legs OF Agriculture)
The chief value of sweet clover for
Missouri conditions is as n green ma
nuring crop. Being a legume, 1t has
the power Of gathering nitrogen out Of
the air and storing it in the soil by
means of the bacteria which live upon
its roots. Since 1t makes such heavy
growth and does well on thin lands, 10
makes a good crop to turn under to Inn
prove the soil.
The value Of sweet clover as pas
ture or hay crop is much disputed.
Some farmers regard It as practically
worthless and consider II weed, while
others apparently have had good sue
cess with feeding 1t. Its foliage has Il
bitter taste due to the cumarin 1t con-
tains and its stems have a tendency to
become woody as they mature. If not
allowed TO become too rank before pas
turing, or If cut for hay before the 1rst
bloom buds appear, these two Objec-
tlonable features may be avoided to
considerable extent and very good feed
obtained. 1t has been found, too, that
stock will learn to eat 1t, and after be-
ing fed or pastured on 1t do not object
to the bitter taste, as at first. Since
1t is biennial, sweet clover may take
the place of red clover in the rotation
on those lands where the latter does
not thrive well, but on the best lands
it cannot compete with either red clo-
yer or alfalfa for hay.
The fact that the bacteria in the
nOdules on its roots are capable of in
oculating alfalfa has led to the idea
that it Is valuable crop to occupy the
land Immediately before seeding al
falfa. This may sometimes be done,
but usually lands that have never
grown sweet clover need incubation
for it as well MS for alfalfa. 1t has
been found necessary to inoculate the
soil on the experiment station field at
Columbia for sweet clover, and even
with this precaution considerable diff
equity has been experienced in getting
a stand. 1t is evident, then, that 1t is
frequently more difficult to obtain a
good stand that one might expect from
a general survey of the habits and
Characteristic of the plant.

sILAGE BEST DAIRY RATION
II Is Palatable, Suceulent, Beneficial tc
the Digestive Tract and Is
Quite Economical.

Sllage has been used more especial.
~ for feeding dairy cows than any
other class of live stock. No dairy
farm is completely equipped without
winter silo and also silo of small
diameter for summer feeding, unless
soiling crops are used.
Good silage possesses several.of the
desirable characteristics of a good
dairy ration. 1t is palatable, succulent,
bulky, beneficial to the digestive tract
and economical. A ration must have
these characteristics as well as have a
balance of nutrients in order to be con-
ducive to large and economical milk
production.
Experiments have shown that but
terfat was produced cents per pound
cheaper and 100 pounds of milk A.
cents cheaper where sllage replaced
corn fodder in a dairy ration.

PRUNING OF SMALL FRUITS
Cutting Of Raspberry and Blackberry
Bushes Should Begin in Summer
Cut Out Old Canes.

Pruning Is more essential in the case
of bush fruits than 1t Is with fruit
trees. If the bushes are left unpruned
single season, they become a mass
of tangled growth that bears little
fruit, and this of poor quality.
The pruning Of blackberry and
raspberry bushes should rightly begin
in summer, when the canes are
through bearing The canes that have
borne the crop should be cut away, to
give the new shoots a better chance to
develop into vigorous canes. If the
old canes were not removed last sum-
mer they should be cut now. But
three or four new stalks should be
permitted to grow from a clump. The
tips Of these new canes should be
plnched off when they have reached a
height of four feet. This pinchlng
back is to develop a strong, vigorous
lateral growth, since the fruit forms
on growths that start from the later
ais. Spring pruning consists In cut
ting out all wood that has borne ber-
ries and the shortening of laterals on
new wood to Is to 20 inches. The new
plants that develop between the
clumps should be kept down, If these
are not wanted for planting.
The currant bush requires little
pruning during the first two or three
years, other than a slight shortening
of the ends of the canes. This short
ening is done to increase the fruit buds
along the cane. Currants do not form
on new wood, and in order to have a
good crop each season it is advisable,
in pruning, to leave an equal number
of the one-year and two-year-old canes
to each bush.

and the matlngs are not changed from
year to year unless they prove unsay
isfactory. When mated, they are al
lowed to run together in flocks. Tou-
louise and Emden geese will breed
when about two years old. The females
are usually kept until they are from
twelve to fourteen years old, or as
long as they lay well. Sex Is difficult
to distinguish, especially in young
geese. The gander is usually some
what larger and coarser than the goose
and has a leaner, longer neck, and a
larger head. The sex is sometimes de-
termined by a critical examination or
by the action of the geese at mating
time.
Large boxes, barrels, or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
are allowed to make nests on the floor
Of the house. The eggs should be col
lected daily and kept in. a cool place.
The first eggs are usually set under
hens, while the last ones which the
goose lays may be Matched either I'M
der hens or under the goose If she
''goes broody." If the eggs are not
removed from the nest where the
goose is laying, she will usually stop
laying sooner than If they are taken
away. The period of incubation Of
goose eggs varies from % to 80 days.
Moisture may be added after the first
week by sprlnkling the eggs or the
nests with warm water. Goose eggs
hatch slowly, especially under hens,
and the goslings are usually removed
as soon as hatched and kept in warm
place until the Matching is completed.

as early blowing, will destroy many of
the alternating cutworms, as well as
such other important corn pests as
white grubs, and should be practiced
when earlier blowing is impracticable
Pasturing hogs upon land supposed
to be harbor cutworms is a beneficial
practice, as these animals root up and
devour insects of many kinds, includ-
Ing cutworms, In large numbers. Farm
poultry, If trained to follow the pillow,
will prove of inestimable value.
When cutworms are found to be
abundant on corn land, the use of the
poisoned bait is recommended. This
may be prepared as follows: Mix so
pounds of wheat bran, 2 pounds Of
paris green, and 9 finely chopped or
anges or lemons. Then bring the whole
mixture to the consistency of stiff
dough by the addition of a cheap mo-
iasses, such as is used In cattle rations,
adding water when necessary. Dis
tribute this bait over the infested field
IN small Jumps, taking care to sprinkle
1t sparlngly around each hill. In case
bran cannot be readily obtained, mid
dllngs or alfalfa meal may be success
fully substituted.
Frequently cutworms migrate to
cultivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected by running a narrow
band Of the poisoned bait around the
edge Of the field or along the side
nearest the source of infestation.

Approximately one egg In two cases

TO AVOID EGG LOSSES
Cause Of Great Trouble to Pro-
Queer and Consumer.
Investigators Find That Approximate
ly Four Per Cent Are Cracked
Much Depends on Quality of
Packing Employed.

Cracked eggs are the cause of great
trouble and loss to the egg industry
from producer to consumer. Every
time an egg is handled on the farm
or elsewhere it is likely to get shell
damage. Occasionally the hen cracks
an egg, but that is seldom. The farm
er cracks some on the farm, and by
the time he has hauled them to the
country store or to the shipper investi-
gators find that approximately four
per cent are cracked and one-tenth Of
one per cent mashed or leaking. If
the country storekeeper rehandles the
eggs and hauls them to the egg ship
per, the number of cracked eggs is
increased to about six per cent. In
addition, three-tenths of one per cent
are mashed eggs or leakers that must
be thrown out. If, however, the coun-
try storekeeper sends the cases Of
eggs to a nearby shipper by local
freight, the total of cracked eggs has
risen at the end Of the journey to APP
prOximately seven per cent, and one
per cent more are mashed or leaking.
The damage when eggs reach the big
cities after a haul of 1000 miles or
more will depend upon the quality of
the egg packing, the way the lot is
placed in the car, and the way the
railroad hauls the car, especially when
switching, When the eggs are shipped
in car lots and both shippers and car
riers do their work well, transit dam
