Substitute for Olive Oil

The production of sim-sim of SEM
sem (Sesamum indicum) seed is an
important agricultural endeavor ON the
East coast and in the interior lake
districts of Africa. The total exporta-
ton of this product from the protec-
torates of British East Africa and
| Uganda during the fiscal year ended
March 81, 1915, (the last available de-
tailed statistics), amounted to 3,134, 800
pounds, valued at $102,S24, of which
amount about 20 per cent was pro-
duced in Uganda and the remainder
On the coastal plain of British East
Africa.
In that year % per cent of these ex-
ports went to India, % per cent to
Alden, IS per cent to Italy, 10 per cent
to Italian Somaliland, and most OF the
balance to Zanzibar and France. In
former years Germany was the largest
purchaser of this product, which is a
substitute for olive Oil. These figures,
lit should be understood, do not repre-
sent the total production of sim-sim
within the territory mentioned mas
much as very large amount is con-
Isumed locally.

prepared by the United States Depart
rnent of Agr;culture)
Farmers can make the cultivation
OF corn most effective and go long
way toward assuring themselves of
harvesting a good crop by getting the
start of weeds. When these robber
plants are small before their roots
have taken firm hold and before they
have used much soil moisture, they
can be destroyed by light stirring of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however, deep cul-
tivation only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only means more labor,
but 1t cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying many corn
roots.
1t corn land has been properly pre-
pared deep cultivation is not advisable
1t should never be given close to the
plants after they are a foot high, as
much harm would be done by breaking
the roots.
TIE get an early start of the weeds,
In many sections or in seasons when
seed terminates slowly it is advisable
to harrow once or twice or otherwise
TO cultivate the field before corn comes
up. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary and it is poor man
agement to allow grass and weeds to
rob the corn of this moisture.
Aside from destroying weeds, time
ly cultivation is beneficial in prevent
ing the loss of moisture by evapora-
ton and also in Fastening the warm
ing of the SOIL The loss of soil moiS-
ture by evaporation continues mucL
longer from a compact, damp surface
than from loose, dry surface, and
the evaporation tends to keep the soil
cold.
In Northern localities and at high
attitudes the conservation of heat is
frequently as important as the con-
servation of moisture. Luckily, both
heat and moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat is
wasted in evaporating or wasting soil
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil heat and soil
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
Cultivating after heavy rains is
good practice. To be most effective
the cultivating should be done as soon
as the surface is dry enough to work

FEEDS FOR PREGNANT MARES
Nourishing Ration Previous to FoaI.
ing Is of Importance for Good
Start for the Colt.

Feeding the pregnant mare good
nourishing ration previous to foaling
is of prime Importance if rapid de-
velopment of the young colt is ex.
pected A good start in life is half
the battle and only by being large of
bone and strong of muscle when born
can the colt develop into a growthy
horse. A proper balancing of the
mares feed will do much toward
making a strong colt at birth.
Oats form the basis of the mares
ration. They have high nutritiye
value, but still do not supply an ex,
cess of fat as would corn. However,
it is well to mix the two using about
three times as much oats as corn by
weight. Oilmeal or bran in small
amounts once daily will keep the d.
gestive tract open and act as general
conditioner. With the present high
feed prices the former will probably
be the more profitable of the two.
Any kind of hay may be fed de-
pending on the availability and price.

BAD FEED QUITE DANGEROUS
Old Corn or Hay, Not Sheltered Prep
erIy, Is Often in Moldy and
Poor Condition.

often the farmer in the spring of the
year has some old corn or old hay,
which, if it has not been sheltered
properly. is moldy and in bad condi-
ton. Such feed often is the cause of
serious trouble with the stock.
Farmers should be careful how they
use old moldy feed of any kind, for
1t is dangerous. often meaning the loss
of several head of stock before the
trnnhle is located.

EXCELLENT FEED FOR DAIRY
PeaviEe SiIsge Is Very Palatable, Con-
tanning More Protein Than
That From Corn.

Peavine silage is an excellent feed
for dairy cows, being very palatable
and containing more protein than corn
silage and approximately equaling 1t
in the total nutrients. Because of its
strong odor, peavine silage should be
fed after rather than before milking
to prevent tainting the milk. 1t may
be fed in as large quantities as will
be consumed but is more satisfactory
when supplied at the rate of about %
pounds per COW per day.

Nature Smiles on MALAGA.

Malaga is perhaps the oldest of
Spanish cities. Certainly she is in
many ways the fairest of them all. If
ever there was a lotus land, 1t is here.
The rich earth is fairly bursting with
fertility, hidden under a wealth Of
semi-tropical vegetation, with here and
there the green vine hills that bear
the grapes for which Malaga is known
all over the world. There are flowers,
too, great, gaudy blooms, that go
with, the South sea appearance of the
aloes and palmettoes and palms. In
a word, Malaga is city where nature
smiles. Sometimes year will go by
there without seven cloudy days.

well. If the soil is allowed to dry I'M
til it breaks up cloddy, much moisture
will be lost, a good mulch cannot be
obtained, and harm is more likely to
be done to the corn roots. AS long as
rapid evaporation is taking place, the
surface viii remain cold and the
growth of the corn will be slow. In
order to cover large areas quickly, Gull
tivatOrs which work two or more rows
are a great advantage.
The number of civilizations neceS-
sary and the best time for them de-
pend upon weather and soil conditions.
Weeds should not be allowed to grow,
and mellow surface should be main
tanned. In some seasons this may be
effectually accomplished with one or
two civilizations; in other seasons
from four to six civilizations may be
necessary.
Nothing can be gained by continuing
cultivation in cOrnfields free from
weeds and in which the soil surface
is mellow. When the surface is suffi-
GENTLY loose and dry to reduce evap-
GRAFTON, is open enough to prevent run
off, and no weeds are starting, cul-
tivatiOn could do no good and If care
lessly performed would do injury to
the corn.
Object of Cultivation.
Corn should be cultivated only when
one or more objects will be accom-
plished by the cultivation and when to-
tai effects will be more beneficial than
injurious. The beneficial effects of
cultivation are:
G) Preventing weeds from robbing
the corn of soil moisture and fertility.
(2) Putting the surface in condi-
ton to take in rainfall, thus prevent
ing run-off and erosion, which mean
losses of water and soil fertility.
(3) Warming the soil by drying its
surface quickly.
. (4) Saving moisture by checking
its capillary rise to the soil surface.
Some injurious effects of cultivation
are:
(1) Breaking the corn roots which
otherwise would use some of the
moisture of light showers before it
evaporates; and
(2) Forming large clods and air
spaces, thus permitting air to enter
and dry the soil.
