amply repay the care bestowed upon
them.

SHORT PASTURE HITS TWO WAYS.

College Park, Aug. 2s.-Cows that
come fresh in the spring give = good

pasture is abundant. When pastures
become short, the flow OF milk will de-
crease unless the pasture Is supple

grain mixture. II the milk low Is per-
mitted to decrease during the season
of short pastures, the high production
OF the nrst few months cannot be re-
covered when pasture becomes abund-
ant In the fall.
This means that the yearly produc-
ton of milk Is several hundred pounds
less than 1t should be owing to the
fact that the cows were short OF feed
for a few weeks during the hot. dry
season.

MOISTURE STOLEN BY WEEDS
No Crop That Requires and Must Have
More Water to Make Growth
Than Common Weeds.

Did you ever hear farmer COM
plain of the growth Of the weeds and
complain at the same time OF the
weather being too dry for the crops1
There is no crop that requires and
must have more moisture to make Q
big growth than the common weeds
Wherever the weeds are big, unless II
be some such weed as the Russian
thistle that lays its limbs on the ground
and prevents evaporation, there has
been moisture enough to grow crop.
The trouble Is, so many OF US let
the weeds get the start Of the crop.
We don't cultivate enough to kill all
the seed that has sprouted when we
plant grain.
Then again, many Of our strong
growing weeds have tap-roots that
penetrate deeper than the grain roots
and get good deal of the capillary
moisture coming uN through the soil
before 1t reaches thHi grain roots.
What shame 1t is to spend SO much
work planting grain and either sowing
weed seed with It or not killing the
weeds that are already started In the
field and preventing their robbing the
grain Of its moisture.
And what an injustice to blame the
weather for such condition!

SPRAYING FOR GRAPE WORMS
Three Applications Of Arsenate Of
Lead Should Be Made-Plowino
In Fall 10 Favored.

Wormy grapes can be avoided by
spraying the vines with arsenate Of
lead. Three applications should be
made, the first just before blooming,
the second just after blooming and
the third when the grapes are half
grown. If soap Is added to the spray
material 1t will spread over the fruit
and stick better. In making up the
spray mixture use at the rate of two
or three pounds Of arsenate Of lead
paste to 80 gallons of water.
The grape berry moth that causes
the worms In grapes live over winter
on the ground In the pupa stage and
In the spring the moths appear and
lay their eggs on the stems and fruits.
1t Is the larva that forms the worms
seen In the fruit. There Is second
brood that matches out In July. II
the vineyard Is plowed In the fall
many of the alternating pupae Will be
destroyed. Otherwise spraying Is the
panacea.

1t is easiest to eradicate these weeds

DAIRY
FACTS
PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF SCOURS
Feeding From Dirty Pals or Giving
Ratlons Unhardened Stomachs
Cannot Properly Digest.

Those who raise young calves by
hand know that scOurs IN one of the
greatest, If not the greatest, source
Of loss. DR.. G. G. Lipp, veterinarian
ut the South Dakota college says
feeding from dirty pals, or feeding
ratiOns the unhardened stomachs Of
the young calves cannot digest, are
the two main causes from which this
trouble may arise.
The milk pals cannot be kept too
clean. ScrupuOus care must be OBJ
served If the feed pals are not to be
the source Of scOurs. Washing after
each feeding with cold water Is not
enough; a. thorough scalding at least
once day is essential and exposure
to bright sunlight on every clear day
will not come amiss. Bacteria are
little things, but the way they live
and multiply Is remarkable and the
damage they can do when they get
started assumes mighty proportions.
When the feed Is hard to digest and
the first evidence of stomach disorders
appear dose OF physlc is the best
cure. A few tablespoonfuls Of castor
oil or an equal amount OF salts will
remove the offending food and restore
the system to working order again.
A 40 per cent solution Of forImde-
hyde has also been found to be an
effective preventive Of scOurs. One
tablespoonful of formalin Is diluted In
one pint of water. A spoonful or two
of the solution may then be added to
the calf's milk as many times II day
and as long as conditions demand.

shape and to improve them from time
to time. In North Carolina, convictS
have been employed on the roads since
1881. but the counties have been re-
uuired to hire them from the state and
pay for them out of the county funds.
The counties have. therefore. been par.
SimOniOus In their expenditures on
road improvements. Governor Beckett
suggests that county commissioners
be compelled to levy an annual main
trnance tax, to be spent by the state
highway commission for the upkeep OF
the roads.
The national committee on prison Ia
bor has repeatedly shown the value OF
employing convictS in rOadmaking. In
North Carolina and other agricultural
states, this method of employing the
convict is particularly advantageous
because of the scarcity of labor at this
time.

employment of unskilled labor on roads

mands that the roads of the country
be maintained in good shape to insure
rapid transmission of products. The
national committee on prisons and
prison labor has begun a movement
for the mobilization of the convictS OF
the country in II national and state
service for the building and upkeep of
good roads.
In this effort the committee will have
the hearty support Of the American
Automobile association through its
good roads board, which includes
member from each one of the GOO odd

CHERRY IS MUCH NEGLECTED.
For Long Time It Has Been Kept In
Background for Growing Ap-

This noble fruit has for long time
been kept in the background for the
growing Of the apple, peach, ETC., on
account Of the inability to market the
crop to good advantage; the main
reason for which no doubt is, In not
selecting different varieties which
ripen ut different times. The question
of growing the cherry into tree is
of far less importance to the orchard
list than the proper selection of varie-
ties, and the care and management Of
1t after 1t Is planted where it Is to re-

Women in the Philippines, from Fill

My first realization of the different

PREVENTING HORNS ON CALF

Rub Caustlc Potash on Little Nubs
Protect From Rain.

(North Dakota Experiment Station)
Horns can be prevented from grow
ing on calf by rubbing caustic pot
ash on the little nubs that develop
into horns. A good time to do this
is when the calf is Il week or two old.
Wrap one end of the stick Of caustic
in paper to protect the fingers, moisten
the other and rub on the nubs. Be
careful that 1t does not run down the
face And into the eyes. Removing the
hair helps. Make three applications,
allowing 1t to dry between each appli-
cation. The calf should be protected
from rain to keep the caustic from
spreading.

Pasture lands that are saturated

fibrous feed, If any at all-can be
made into profitable pasture land,
which, when tiled, will be found to be
very productive agricultural land.
Palatable and nutritious grasses for

RUNNING SWINE IN ORCHARD
Practice Has Advantage Of Keeping
Animals In Open and Affordins
Needed Exercise.

It Is customary In many sections to
run the hogs in the orchard during the
fall months and let them pick up the
apples that drop off. While this prac-
tice has the advantage OF keeping
them In the open and giving them ex-
ercise, too much need not be expected
from apples as a feed. They have
some value In that they give variety
and succulence to the ration but do
not possess high feeding value. For
mature breeding stock they are good
as a part Of the ration. But for fat
tening purposes or when used as the
main part Of the ration they are dis
appointing.
