BREEDING DAIRY
AND BEEF CATTLE
SHOULD BE KEPT SEPARATE TO
SECURE GREATEST
PROFITS.
PREVENT CROSS BREEDING
Pure Bred Animals Should Be Kept
For Breeding Purposes and
Not Be Vealed.

College Park. Feb. 22-The i'm
portance OF keeping the different
types Of grade and pure bred animals
separate is set forth in an article
recently issued to the breeders OF
dairy and beef cattle b. S. S. Buck
ley, Animal Industry Extension
Specialist. Among other things in
this article, he says: Breeding OF
dairy cattle and dairying, and breed.
ing Ct beef cattle and feeding, repre-.
sent two legitimate and distinct in
dustries in Maryland. Each has its
Individual and circumscrlbed sphere.
yet each is handicapped by a merging
or fusion Of the one with the other
The result is that neither industry
represents the greatest degree Of Ell
cheney, nor returns the greatest
amount of profits possible through
more distinct separation Of the two.
ITO this end there shoGtd be rec
ognized by the breeders Of each class
of animals, the distinct and definite
fields of the other
recognized beef characters for dairy
purposes and the use Of animals OF
dairy characters for beef production
is detrimental to the breeders of each
and to the industries which they repre-
sent.
Breeders OF each class should get
together by separating their work
"Dairymen in their own interest.
should never allow grade, male dairy
bred calf to live longer than neces.
sary to produce veal.
Breeders Of dairy animals should
never sacrifice to slaughter any
promising or proven valuable pure
bred bull, II there is any way in which
it can be disposed of for breeding
dairy animals.
breeders OF beef animals, in their
own interests. should never allow
grade. male beef bred calf to become
mature unless castrated, nor should
they allow any such calf to be vealed,
If possible to prevent IT,
Breeders of both classes Of cattle
for their mutual interests and the in
dustries which they represent, should
discourage in every way possible the
crossing of dairy and beef bred ami

fined, though closely related Strict

MANAGEMENT OF BRED sows.

article written especially for this
County Demonstration Agents for use

State, S. s. Buckley. Animal Industry

ject very thoroughly He says, in
part: Get acquainted with the SOW.
Look her over often and carefully and
be sure that she is free from lice II
she Is kept with other hogs, they must
be free from lice Use crude oil or

give the lice a show to live.
Keep the pens and the yards clean.

the feeding troughs and keep them
clean at all times.
Feeding.
"The sow is being kept to produce
pigs. You are feeding the SOW really
for the good Of those pigs. If the sow
gets too fsta the pigs will get too fat,
and they win die at farrowing time.
If the sow getS poor. thin and weak.
the pigs will be weak, and they win
die at birth or shortly after
You must keep the sow fed well
with food that gives strength, and
which can be used to make the bodies
of these pigs strong without becoming
fat. Corn or cornme4 itself is not
the kind OF feed, beeaus it makes fat
very easily and makes heat. Bran,
beans, peas, alfalfa and clover hay,

HOME GARDENS
AND ROTATIONS
ROTATION OF CROPS ADVOCATED
FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
SOIL FERTILITY.
SYSTEMATIC PLANTING PLANS
Large Amount OF Food Products May
Be Had From : Small
Area OF Land.

College Park, Feb 15.--In his work
with the various County DemCnstra-
tion Agents. S. y. Shaw, Specialist in
Horticultural Extension, has had an
excellent opportunity to make a care
ful study OF home gardens. In
recent article on this subject, Mr
Shaw says: "The advantages Of hav
ing garden from which an abundance
Of fruits and vegetables can be had
are wellknown. In some instances
however, the land used in the psoduc
tion Of these crops does not Yield as
abundantly as it might If the garden
was planned so that every pari would
be growing some crop eaca month in
the year. To bring about this oondt
ton it is necessary, first to lay out
the garden in such a way that the
greatest amount Of work can be done
in the shortest time, and then prac
tice a system Of crop rotation
Sometimes fruit trees, shrubbery
or flowers are planted promiseuously
throughout iie garden. This practice
has its disai antages, in that it is diff
ncult to plo. harrow. and cultivate
around trees and shrubbery without
inju- lg them 20 some extent.
Few people realize the large
amount of food products and income
that can be derived from the syste
matte planting and cultivation Of &
small area of land, when devoted to
the growing Of garden crops. Too
often the planting ceases with the first
crops sown. and when these have
mstured, the fertile soil is either al
lowed to produce magnificent croI
of weeds, or else remains idle until
the following season.
"The systematic rotation Of farm.
crops have been advocated for a mum
ber Of years, the principal end in view
being an improvement of soil fertility
A well-planned rotation OF garden
crops brings about this same result,
and in addition aceomplishes two
other purposes. 1t affords a greater
amount of food supplies for a longer
period of time, and, to a certain ex
tent, 1t aids in the control Of certaiE
insect and disease pests.
"As a rule, most insects and dis
seases attacking garden crops can be
controlled by the application of suit
able poisons and chemicals in the form
OF spray materials However, some
Of these troubles. particularly those
diseases occurring in the soil, are hard
to combat in this way. Rotation often
proves the only remedy in instances
Of this kind. hence the advantage Of
having a well-planned system of grow
ing the different crops.
Insects and diseases thriving on
plants belonging to certain family OF
class of plants will often hnd the
plants of a different family entirely
unsuited to their use. For instance
beets, parsnips and turnips are seldom
affected with the same troubles that
prove destructive to cucumbers
cantaloupes and watermelons, and vice
versa. Here, too, carefully planned
rotation often proves an effective
means of control for various garden
troubles"

That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year of his life.
''Now," said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestness, "when such training does
so much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment's expense? The government has
the right to call anyone to serve in
case of war, and without training, a
man is worth nothing as soldier. On
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose, therefore, here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, so that every boy ply

not leave it for his parents to pay for.

Jimmie owned a colt worth 500; that
he would make almost another 500 on
his potatoes If they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought a 500 Liberty bond.
Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash
IN and go with him. He was disap-
pointed TO find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: SIN mighty sorry to leave jim

Uncle Dan was silent q moment or

TO the orchard and get him some ap-

gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan
