The Department of Agriculture
estimates that fully so per cent OF all
the vegetables and fruits grown in
America never reaches the consumer.
1t is left to rot on the ground and
trees, or allowed to spoil because of
lack of shipping and marketing faci-
lities. In addition, the average man
consumes 20 per cent more food than
he needs, and one-third of the Ameri-
can households waste another 20 per
cent of what they buy. Extravaganza
in wartime is distinctly unpatriotic,
and has got to stop. If our business
is organized on the basis OF allowing
so per cent of our perishable food
products to go TO waste before reach
ing the consumer, who eats one
fourth more than he needs, and
wastes a prohibitive amount in addi-
ton, it is high time that our business
was reorgonized, and this war may
be a blessing in disguise. The 1917
crop is a war crop and we cannot
harvest it in our Sunday clothes.
Let the producer begin now and
see how many apples, potatoes, etc,
he will harvest and exactly what he
is going to do with them. Include
everything small and large, from
windfalls to Al fruit and vegetables.
Study how the most perishable part
can be used in from to weeks;
a part preserved and used in 3 to
months; and the remainder scienti-
fically preserved for use Gncluding
export) in to IS months. Make
plans to harvest the crop at the best
stage, without waste or loss in trans
portation to market. Repair cribs
and bins in advance of harvest, and
provide cellars and storage places
that can be easily kept at the right
temperature. Protect harvested pro-
ducts against insect damage, and see
that nothing heats, moulds, or de-
Gays for lack of care and proper stor-
age conditions. Sell your crops TO
the best advantage. See that every
thing gets to the consumer Market
all foods you do ont use. Can, pre-
serve, or dry perishable foods you do
not market.

Do Not Sell Laying Hens.

In view of the high price OF eggs
last winter and the prospect for high
prices next winter, H. l.. Kempster,
of thu University of Missouri College
of Agriculture advises against the
customary disposal of laying hens in
early summer. In supporting his
suggestion he offers the following:
According to the New York Produce
Review the egg receipts in New York
up to March 2S We're 205,687 cases
short OF last years receipts, or in
other words, the receipts in 1917 are
only rs per cent as great as for last
year. In January Of this year eggs
were 10 cents higher than last year;
in February, 10 cents higher and IN
March s cents. The prospects are
that these high prices will continue.
cone egg dealer writes that in his
opinion fresh infertile eggs will sell
for not les than 25 cents a dozen
thruout the summer With these pros
poets ahead it is mistake to sell
the laying hen. She should be kept
as long as she lays II she goes
broody she can be confined in a Stat
bottom coop for a few days, fed lib
orally, and thus be broken up. Poul-
trymen should also aim to keep as
many mature ppllets as possible next
winter The common practice OF sell
ing the largest pullex in tne fall and
keeping the small ones should be dis
couraged, II Is the mature bird that
will lay during the early fall and

Eaten Chickens in Crates.

Sending chickens to market Wlicn
have rot been properly fattensl 5 a
wasteful practice. The weight OF
healthy, well-grown chickens CT" be
increased from % to so per cent II
two weeks by proper feeding. Three
hundred and fifty to 400 pounds oi
mash mo'stened with skim mill or
buttermilk and properly fed to good
fowls will produce 100 pounds Of
poultry meat in from IL to IA days.
Proper feeding of the chickens be-
fore marketing improves the quality
of the flesh. Crate fed" and milk
fed" are synonymous with high
quality"
Chickens which have been milk
fed in crates should sell for from
to cents above the market price
for unfattened chickens. At this
price. they are cheaper to the con-
sumner on account of the reduced
waste in dressing.

Sweet Glover For Poor Soils.

Grow sweet clover" is the an
swer for poor soil or WORKOUT past
ures which no longer support live
stock proftably, according to in
vestigators of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, who have
FOUND that thousands of acres of
sweet clover are furnishing annually
abundant pasturage for all kinds of
stock on soil where other crops made
but little growth.
In many portions of the Middle
West sweet clover bids fair to solve
serious pasturage problems, accord
ing to Farmers Bulletin $50, Sweet
Glover; Utilization" just issued. Ma
tive pastures which no longer pro-
vided more than a scant living for
mature steer on or acres, when
properly seeded to sweet clover, will
produce sufficient forage TO carry at
least one animal to the acre through
out the season. Dairy cattle horses,
sheep and hogs all do well on sweet
clover. Land which is too rough or
too depleted for cultivation, or per-
manent pastures which have become
thin and weedy may be improved
greatly by drilling in after disking
a few pounds of sweet clover seed
per acre. Not only will the sweet
clover add considerably to the quality
and quantity of the pasturage, but the
growth of the grasses will be i'm
proved by the addition of large guam
tiles of humus and nitrogen to the
soil.
Sweet clover has proved to be an
excellent pasturage crop on many of
the best farms in the North-Central
States. In this part of the country
it is often seeded alone and pastured
from the middle or the latter part of
June until frost, or it may be sown
with grain and pastured after har-

market for practically everything de-
cent in the horse line either for the
English, French or Italians.
In an effort to formulate some
practical and workable plan, officials
at Washington have been in tele-
phone communication with horse
traders all over the country last week
and many officials of the War Depart
ment have visited the principal
markets with the same idea. The
traders seem to think the only poss-
ible way of securing the 100000
horses and mules necessary will be
the abandonment of the type plan
and taking any and all kinds of n
rugged, useful horse, for while there
are a sufficient number OF useful
horses in this country, they lack the
Government specified type. although
they are sound physically. The
British and French have both adopt
ed this policy after making many
costly experiments.
The war has proven TO the French,
English and Italians that strength
and ruggedness is far more desirable
than the qualification of type and the
trade advises that we profit by their
experience and operate along the
same line and take all useful horses
weighing 1900 pounds or better.
Bids for about 10000 horses were
opened at Washington June 18th,
which was simply preliminary
move in the general campaign being
mapped out, they having discarded
the original plan.

The practice of having brood sows
produce two filters year, as fol-
lowed in some of the hograising sec
tons of our country. should be en-
couraged, except where short seas
ons and severe winter weather pre-
vent, the swine specialists of the L.
S. Department of Agriculture ad-
vises.
Sows intended to farrow filters
should be bred not later than the first
of July. Those that are in breeding
condition after weaving their spring
litter should be bred the first time
they come in per hundredweight Of
sow during the grazing season, which
is a large saving in favor of pasture.
Plenty of water, shade, and space 20
exercise are other essentials for the
production of strong. healthy filters.
The sows can run together in the
same pasture within two or three
weeks of the 8arrowing date. At this
time those that are due to farrow
should he separated from the herd
aud placed in separate paddock or
Pen. where they can farrow their
pigs undisturbed.
Keep the SOW on pasture If pos
sible. and provide dry, well-'yn-
tIlated quarters free from draft in
which she can farrow the pigs.
