GINSENG DISEASE CONTROL.

| Mildew Attacks Plants Wherever They
Are Grown In This Country.
| Prepared by New York station. Cornell
university
| The disease known as mildew. jap
anese mildew, or soft rot, which at
| tacks ginseng plants, is found in every
one Of the fifteen states in which gin
seng is grown, according to a bulle-
tin just published by the plant pathol-
ogists Of the New York State College
| Of Agriculture.
Nearly a century ago, they state,
about 100000 pounds of ginseng were
exported from this country in a year,
| mainly to China. A recent investi-
CATION shows that these figures have
been decreased by over 100000 pounds.
This falling off, it is said, may be at
| tributed In part to the ravages of ply
| tophthora, or mildew disease of gin
seng
The college authorities suggest six
methods for controlling and preventing
the disease. One method. they state.
is to spray the plants with fungicide
early in the spring just as they are
pushing out Of the soil. They sug-
gest bordeaux MIXTURE $3.50, to which
have been added two pounds Of arse

Of the mixture. The spraying should
be continued until all the plants have
appeared, and special care should be

The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely in changing
the crops around from year to year.
regardless Of the relation Of the crops
to each other. The central aim in all
crop rotation systems should be to
leave each field in a better state Of cul-
tivation, better physical condition and
reasonably free from pests at the end
If each rotation cycle.
No hard and fast rotation system can
be laid down for any community. but
the most profitable system must be
worked out for each farm and. indeed.
for each field There are certain gen.
eral principles. however. that should
be borne in mind in this connection
in order to accomplish the most salts

out ration that would supply the
physiological requirements and then al
ways feed the same ration. In produc
ing milk profit must always be the pri-
mary consideration. Prices Of feeds
will vary. Some particular feed that
has been worked out as part of the
ration might become temporarily very
high in price. This would greatly In
crease the cost Of the ration and there
Of this variation In the values and
costs Of feeds. the man who Is feeding
cows to make the most profit must
constantly keep in mind the matter Of
economy.
Here in Kansas alfalfa hay is prob
ably the most economical source Of pro-
tein. Dairymen all over the country
1t long distances. II dairymen in dis
tant states can afford to do this, pay
ing the freight. it certainly should be
even more profitable to feed this hay
to cows on the farms where produced.
In the interest of economy Kansas
dairymen should feed their cows all
the alfalfa they will consume. An
100 or 1.200 pound COW will eat TWEEN
ty-fve or more pounds Of alfalfa hay
day If 1t is OF good quality. There
is not enough protein in this amount
of hay for a daily production of forty
pounds of milk. and heavy producing
cows would have to have small guam
tity Of some concentrate containing a
relatively large amount of digestible
protein
A year ago cottonseed meal was very
reasonable in price. and this feed was
very economical source of protein.
1t Is much higher in price at the pres
ena time and consequently no more
should be used than is absolutely nec-
essary to supply the additional protein
needed. For the average milk COW all
the alfalfa hay she will eat and silage
or some other carbOnaceous roughage
of good quality will he the most profit
able combination to feed.

!: ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In pruning small limbs and shrubs

Asparagus can be forced in boxes in
cellar or under the benches in a

Forcing frames are useful and are
found to hurry the season forward

Lettuce. cabbage. beets and onions
can be sown IL flats. boxes or pots for
early plants. About all vegetables may
be sown now by forcing under glass

or by improper cultivation. For the
greatest profit corn requires well
drained. deep, mellow soil that holds
moisture and contains good supply of
plant food. Few fields contain all
these. Deficiencies in plant food are
most cheaply supplied by growing le-
guminous crops and feeding them on
the land. Such crops also produce a
favorable physical change in the soil.
In selecting seed 1t. is important to
get varieties that will mature before
destructive frosts come.
The work of soil preparation and
seed selection may be largely wasted
effort unless good stand Is secured.
An ear Of corn nine inches long and
seven inches in circumference in each
hill on a field checked three feet six
inches will pay for raising the crop.
Two ears to the hill will yield fifty or
sixty bushels with almost no added
cost Of production. Corn should be
planted early so that If poor stand
The planting should not be done. how
ever, before the seed bed is warm.
Early cultivation for a high yield
should be shallow. y narrow shovel
ed cultivator or a harrow is the best
implement. Late cultivation is to kill
weeds and to retain moisture. Shall
low working will do both. AS the corn
develops its roots spread outward and
downward. After the corn is foot
high deep cultivation will do injury
by tearing out many Of the roots,
Profits are often affected by the
methods used in handling the crop.
Cutting. shocking and husking require
much labor and increase the cost of
production. Husking from standing
stalks requires much hard labor and
leaves much Of the food value in the
stems and leaves. Feeding bundled
corn to steers saves the cost of husk-
ing, while turning hogs or sheep into
fields of standing corn in which rape
was sown at the last cultivation often
brings good results at Il low cost.
About 30 per cent of the food value
of corn in the beginning-dent stage is
in the leaves and stems. By putting
such corn into the silo all this is saw
ed. Every bushel of corn sold takes
food matter from the farm that must
be returned in fertilizers if high pro-
duction is to be continued.

SUSTAINING MILK FLOW.
With Good Feed and Care Cows Should
Hold Out For Seven Months.

The time required to bring cows to
full flow of milk after freshening va
rieS. From ten to twelve weeks will
usually find COW doing her best. says
Hoard's Dairyman. With the right
kind Of COW and good feeding and care
there should be no material decrease in
milk flow for six or seven months after
calving
A variety of feeds is more palatable
TO the COW and assures proper amount
of nutrients if the feeder is careful to
note that the ration is balanced. 1t IS
not enough to make balanced ration
that is, supply sufficient protein and
carbohydrates; for instance. Il balanced
ration made of what does not supply
all the elements of nutrition. The pro
TEN of the wheat lacks in amino acids
BY using a variety of feeds the feeder
Is sure to get the proper balance of
amino acids if sufficient protein is pro
vided
0at and vetch hay and corn silage
form the basis of good ration, and
with little grain there should be no
difficulty in sustaining the milk flow.

FOR A LARGER CORN YIELD,
At Small Cost Il Can Be Nearly
Doubled,

At Small Cost Il Can Be Nearly
Doubled.
The yield Of corn can be raised from
thirty to more than fifty bushels an
acre at a small additional cost, says
bulletin recently issued by the College
Of Agriculture Of the University Of
Minnesota. Producing the larger yield
is but a question Of looking ahead to
get the soil in the best condition, to get
the right seed and to see that cultiva.
ton is Of the right kind and done at
the proper time.
Records show that corn yielding only
thirty bushels an acre gives no profit.
The ten year average yields for the
best Of the corn states runs from twen-
ty-eight to thirty-nine bushels only.
There is great room for Improvement
therefore.
A good yield may be materially re-
duced by improper preparation of the
SOIL by poor seed. giving a bad stand.

The custom of milking twice day
has become fixed. and no marked ad-
vantage is secured when the number
of milkings is increased Experience
and repeated tests show that three
milkings day increase the amount
of milk less than per cent. Consid-
ering the extra labor involved, the ex-
ira milk obtained by three milkings
will not repay the cost and trouble.

Dairy Cattle Must Have Balanced Ra-
ton to Produce Milk.
To produce milk the cow must have
balanced ration. This simply means
that the various nutrients must be sup
piled In the proper proportions and
quantities for milk production, says
the Kansas Farmer. If there is a de-
fciency Of any Of these the capacity
for milk production Is limited. This
IS especially true II the deficiency hap.
pens to be in the protein part of the
ration. For this reason the balancing
Of rations nearly always becomes a
matter Of getting sufficient amount
Of this particular nutrient into the feed.
II feeds of the various kinds were
always valued the same it would be a
comparatively simple matter to work

Most farmers seem to consider
the milking Shorthorn as the best
dual purpose COW. This means a
we'll shaped Shorthorn COW of one
of the milking strains Such a COW
gives a good mess Of fairly rich
milk and when she is done milking
gives a good carcass of beef. The
bull calves make good beef steers.
Probably of all the beef breeds this
type Is best for both milking and
beef production. The Holstein COW
gives more milk than the Short
horn. but does not make as good a
carcass of beef. The bull pictured
is of the milking Shorthorn breed.
