MUST KILL WEEDS EARLY
Use Up to 400 to 500 Pounds Of Water
for Each Pound of Dry
Matter.

East Lansing, Mich.-The farmer
who is looking out for No. this sea-
son, or In any season, for that matter,
will see to II that weeds I'm corn and
beans are killed before they get a
start. Early cultivation, and continu-
Gus practice of IL throughout the grow
ing season Is the remedy, say farm
crops men Of the Michigan Agricultu-
raj college.
Weeds" 1t is said, "are the great
est crop enemies, and 1t is a mistake
to allow them to get up four or five
inches before cultivaing. The time
to hit them hardest is just when they
start.
"Soon after planting, with both corn
and beans, the field should be gone
over with spike-tooth harrow, teeth
slanting slightly back. The weeder Is
an excellent tool for early cultivation.
and can be used in corn until the
plants are six or eight inches high.
1.-THE first cultivation with the cul-
tivator is usually made when the
plants are up high enough so the rows
can be easily followed. This cultiva-
ton should be close to the plants and
fairly deep, though If the seeded has
been properly prepared, deep cultiva-
ton is not necessary.
1.-THE next cultivation usually comes
within a week or ten days. This cul-
tivation should not be quite so close
to the plants, or as deep. Later cul-
tivations, with either corn or beans,
should be shallow-merely deep enough
to dislodge the developing weeds and
keep the ground in loose condition.
After about 80 days growth, the roots
of corn or bean plants completely in
terlace between the rows and come to
within about two inches of the surface.
These surface roots are the chief feed
ing roots of the plant, and deep cult
walton will cause q considerable loss
in yield by pruning them. Level and
shallow cultivation is the best, and the
use of small shOvels, or small cultiva-
tors equipped with blades or sweeps
is advised. Deep cultivation Is par
ticularly the practice of laying by.
Cultivating deeply at the last cultiva-
ton and throwing the earth from the
middle Of the rows should be avoided"

MOVING DAY AHEAD FOR BEES
New Law AboIishes Old crossed-c Comb
Frame and Box Hives.

East Lansing, Mich.-The old box
hive, and crossed-frame hives, which
progressive bee men have so long rant
ed against, are headed for the junk
heap, for a new law which was passed
by the last legislature and which just
recently was signed by the governor,
makes the use of these relics n penal
act. After May 1 the state inspector
of apiaries will be privileged to order
the destruction of every one he finds.
Accordingly there is every prospect
there will before long be n general
moving day for honey gatherers in
those communities where bees are still
kept in the old-fashioned way.
The new act was passed in the In
terest of greater food production, for
the box hive containing crooked combs,
have always been unproductive, be-
cause in such hives 1t is impossible to
examine and manipulate the brood
chambers. Good beekeeping, IL is ex-
planned by the state inspector Of
apiaries at the college, requires thar
every part Of the hive shall be Access
sible to make it possible to determine
at all times the condition of the col
ony.
BY the time the new law becomes op-
erative, bees now In old hives must be
transferred to new. Methods for max
ing the transfer are explained In
bulletin which may be had by bee
keepers N they will write In to the
state inspector Of apiaries at the col
lege.

Need for Saving Breeders and
Feeders Is Great.
CROPS REDUCE FERTILITY
Cash Crops Craze May InJure Land II
PIantfood Is Not Replaeed-Llvs
Stock viii Keep Up Rich
ness Of Soil.
BY GEORGE A. BROWN,

PROFESSOR OF Beer Husbandry, M. n. e.
East Lansing, Mich.-In many sec
lions of the state the extremely high
prices prevailing this spring for grain
and provender together with the poor
outlook for the hay crop. are causing
the sale Of considerable numbers of
young stock which now, II ever, should
be grown out to the fullest extent pos
sible.
The farmer or live stock man In any
sort of touch at all with agricultural
and market conditions doesn't have to
look far for reasons why animals
should be kept. In the first place the
necessity for increasing our meat sup
ply is urgent, and coupled with this
is the additional fact that prospects
for a continuation Of high prices were
never better. And we should bear in
mind further that our live stock pop
ulation is already far too small TO
insure the maintenance of soil fer
tility and the production of bountiful
crops In the years to come. To appre-
ciate this fully 1t is only necessary to
consider the immense amount of fer
tility which is sold with the various
crops. Realization of this brings
home the immense Importance Of feed
Ing out every animal possible.

THE KIND OF POTATO FIELDS
MICHIGAN WANTS THIS
SEASON.
The Right Use of the Harrow, and
Proper Cultivation, VIII Help to
Put the Field in This Condition.

An acre Of oats yielding 80 bushels
of grain, by way of illustration, will
remove from the soil In grain alone
approximately 31.6S pounds of nitro
gen, 1896 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 500 pounds OF potash. To re-
place this amount of plantfood by the
use Of commercial fertilizer would cost
not less than 1854 per acre, even at
the prices prevailing three years ago.
But an acre of corn, yielding one
hundred baskets, or so bushels of
shelled corn removes still greater
quantities of desirable elements from
the soil. The grain alone in the corn
removed from an acre of land con-
tains 1876 pounds Of nitrogen, 1882
pounds of phosphoric acid and 11.2
pounds of potash, having fertilizer
value of 5000. The fertilizing ingre-
dients in ton OF clover hay are val
ued at $9.36.
When these figures are thoughtfully
considered the farmer cannot help but
realize that he can hardly afford to
sell all the crops he raises. Rather,
he should devote only set area to
cash crops and make 1t fixed policy
to feed the remainder Of his crops to
live stock. The animal utilities only q
small part of the fertllizing ingredi-
ents in the feed. and those which
aren't used are returned to the farm
er In the form Of manure. 1t is safe
to say that where manure is carefully
handled, full so per cent of the fer
tility value of a feed finds its way
back to the soil. Figuring on this
basis, an acre of oats If fed to stock
on the farm, returns to the soil S5.47
worth Of fertility. On the other hand
If the oats are sold, $5.47 worth of fer
tility Is removed from each acre. With
corn the loss through sale would be
$7.75 an acre, and in the case of a
ton of clover hay the loss through sale
would be $7.4S worth of fertility.
Feeding these crops returns these val
ues TO the land.
For each bushel of oats fed, we get
back IL cents worth of fertility and
for each bushel of corn 1914 cents
worth of fertility. The ACCESSIBILITY of
raising more live stock becomes appa-
rent, even though part Of the feed
must be purchased.
The protein-rich feeds, which are
the ones most economical to buy, have
much greater fertility value than
the homegrown feeds. The fertiliz-
ing value of the manure obtained from
the feeding of ton of bran is 1854;
from a ton of linseed meal $17.S5, and
from a ton of cottonsee6 meal $23.70.
Both of the last named feeds can be
fed In combination with homegrown
feeds and a profit obtained on the live
stock produced, TO say nothing Of the
fact that the manure resultant from
their feeding Is practically equal In
value TO a ton Of many brands Of COM
uercial fertilizer.

Thousands Of the most prominent
people in st. Louis, Cincinnati, Dallas,
Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Louis
Vile, Nashville and even the larger
cities of the North and East, where
his celebrated medicine has been ac-
complishing such remarkable results,
are even more enthusiastic over Tan
lac than Mr.. Cooper himself.
It is Mr.. Cooper's theory that nine
tenths of the diseases and ill-health
of the average person is due to a ca
tarrhal inflammation of the mucous
membrane which, produces faulty d.
gestion and improper assimilation Of
the food.
In a recent interview, Mr.. Cooper
was asked If Tanlac would relieve
Kidney trouble, Liver complaint and
a dozen other ailments and in this
connection, said:
"As I have repeatedly said, my med
icine acts directly on the mucous
membrane, stomach and blood, expel-
ling from them the impurities and
toxic poisons, and rendering to them
q strong, healthy condition.
"I am convinced that the stomach
regulates the condition of the blood,
and is the fountainhead of health or
disease, as the case may be. My
medicine is intended primarily for the
regulation of the stomach and catar-
rhal inflammation, but 1T is no uncom-
mon thing for persons who have used
1t to come to me and explain that 1t
has relieved them of rheumatism and
many other ailments not generally
recognized as having their origin in
stomach trouble.
"Most Of the so-called stomach,
liver and kidney troubles" continued
Mr.. Cooper, "are due almost entirely
TO a catarrhal Inflammation of these
organs and it is believed that Tanlac
is the first actually direct specific
therefor.
"Catarrh Of the stomach, liver and
kidneys is the most frequent cause of
dyspepsia and kidney disorders and
catarrhal condition of the nose and
throat often leads to deafness. FIRE.
quently the lungs become diseased by
the extension of the catarrhal inflam-
nation by way of the bronchial tubes
to the lung substance. The mental
and physical state Of the chronic ca
tarrh sufferers is indeed very unfortu-
nate. q
"Tanlac has overcome this condition
in its most obstinate stages, and the
preparation, therefore, must be, as
have always contended, the one great
