STUDY. THE MARKET DEMANDS
Breeder Should Strive to Produce
Only Best Animals and Meet
''g' Needs Of the Consumer.
Ry 8. T. SIMPSON,

We must study the market de-
mands carefully and select good sires
of the types that will enable us to
meet them. II we find that the
butcher or packer likes an animal Of
extreme beef type because that ami
NAL yields a high percentage Of. the
high-priced cuts, the sires must be
selected accordingly. II we find that
the horse buyer takes the big, drafty,
sound horse in preference to the
chunk when his order calls for horses
for heavy work, we must secure sires
that will get colts of that type. If we
ship or sell to a market which de-
mands bacon hogs, then the boar
should be the best obtainable individ-
ual of a bacon breed which is in good
demand in that market.
In any case we must strive to pro-
duce only the best animals and to be
sure that they are uniformly good
aEi thet there are among them no
misfits or Inferior specimens which
do not meet the consumers needs.

FEEDING LAMBS FOR PROFIT
A. Much Difference In Quality Of AMI

3 p
S,ssToo many lamb feeders are salts
fed with anything just so it is lamb.
Too many persons get the lamb-feed-
ing fever because some neighbor fed
lambs last winter and made big
money ld0lng so. There is just as
much difference in the quality of
lambs for feeding as there is in cat
tie or any other variety of stock. It
Is best to secure the aid of some
sheep expert to assist in the buying
of lambs, as a lot Of lambs well
bought are almost sure to be money
makers.
The fleece counts for something in
the profit, especially If lambs are held
and shorn. There is a difference in
lambs in taking on flesh; there is a
difference in the type and general ap-
pearance of sheep, Of lambs, or live
stock in all departments of breeding
and feeding, and this difference
counts for or against the animals in
their sale as breeders or feeders. It
is usually money made to buy the best
lambs to start on; they bring best re-
suits in the end.

tBy JOHN W. LLOYD. Illinois,


Extravagant claims are sometimes
made regarding the influence of nj
trate of soda upon the yield and earli-
ness of certain vegetable crops, par
ticularly those Of which vegetative
part constitutes the edible product.
The claims are especially emphatic in
reference to early-planted crops, since
much of their growth must be made
at time when conditions in the soil
are not favorable for rapid nitrifica-
ton; and the supplying of nitrogen in
a readily available form at such q
time would seem to promise good re-
suits. In view Of these considerations
it was thought best to make some tests
with this material in the production
of vegetables on the brown silt loan
of the corn belt. Accordingly se-
ries of tests was planned, including
eight kinds of vegetables, viz. radish,
turnip, beet, onion, spinach, LETTUCE,
cabbage, and caulifiower. Top dress
ings Of nitrate Of soda were made to
the above-named vegetables. The e1-
pertinent was continued through six
years. -
One plat received applications Of
nitrate Of soda at intervals Of one
week, and another at intervals of two
weeks. A third plat was left untreat-
ed as a check. ,s,-4,..9. ...-.s:;n,
In the light of the data secured in
connection with the nitrate of soda ex-.
periments the following conclusions
are warranted: a. g.f- s;.,, u 4.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HERR KEEL
lER.

IN the evening Of September II,
" 1915, Herr Keller, chief magistrate
of Lucerne, left his Office for his home
in the country, accompanied by his
daughters Salesia and Hildegarde. It
was disgusting night, with every
variety of rain and wind. Their path
followed the course Of the tempestuous
Reuss, and was in places dangerous,
but they all knew it SO well that they
could have followed it blindfold.
Now and then Herr Keller called out
a CHEEKY greeting to the girls and they
answered in kind, for they were robust,
happy people. They walked in single
file, Salesia first, the father next, md
Hildegarde last. As they neared the
end Of their journey Hildegarde lost a
shoe In the mud, and was engaged a
minute or two refitting it to her foot,
when she hastened after the others.
Eventually the house was reached and
the girls opened the door and looked
around for their father, but he was
not visible. They were astonished.
They were quite sure that he had been
with them few minutes before. Serv-
ants were summoned, and party
started out with lanterns to search for
the missing man. Their search was in
vain. On the following day the body of
Keller was found where it had been
washed ashore by the swollen torrent.

Here are few hints:

Place a piece of broken pot over the

Fill the pot three-quarters with soil.

WAR THREATENS FLOWERS

1t is good, far cry from the grim
horrors of war to the pretty hyacinth
and the crocus, but recent news brings
the interesting Information that the
great European conflict is presenting
serious menace to the chief source
of imported bulbs.
Private advices received in New
York from flower folk in Holland,
who cannot be considered as preju-
diced or even interested in the larger
affairs Of state, say that there is dan
ger Of having the bulb supply for the
next half century destroyed. Holland
has her army ready to fight either
side, and she has a number Of issues
which might make her entry possible.

to flood all the lands in her dixie sys-
