PREPARATION OF SEED BED.

College Park, Feb. 22-Included IL

quent harrowings In the spring to pre-
serve moisture and keep out weeds.
Mr.. Shaw says: at Is advisable to
plow deeply at least several weeks
before planting, preferably the fall be-
fore. The depth of plowlng will, OF
course, depend upon the way in which
the soil has previously been treated.
While it is desirable to have as deep
seed bed as possible, 1t will not
do to break up too much of the sub
soil at one time. A safe rule to fol
low Is to go about an inch deeper
each time the land is powed. In
this way the depth Of the seed bed
will be increased without bringing too
much of the subsoil to the surface at
any one time.
while potatoes do best in well
drained soil, they require plenty OF
moisture for their full development.
In addition to having the seed bed
deep, 1t should contain plenty OF hu-
mus, or decaying vegetable matter, as
this helps to retain moisture for the
growth of the plants. One of the best
ways to put plenty Of this material in
the seed bed is to select a piece of
sod land the year before and after
covering pretty thoroughly with stable
manure, plow 1t in the fall to depth
that will bring up about an inch or
two of the subsoil In plowing do
not turn the furrow completely over,
but set it on its edge. with enough
slant to cover all the sod and as much
of the manure as possible with soil
After staying this way over winter
the land may again be plowed in the
spring or cut over deeply with disc
harrow. 1t is best not to apply fresh
stable manure in the spring, as it
might cause the potatoes to scab.
Narrowing.
After the land has been plowed,
or disced in the spring, it should again
be disced and then gone over with
either spring-tooth or spike-tooth
harrow. Try to break up all possible
clods. II narrowing is done immedi.
stely after plowing, clods are not so

and clods will form smooth, uniform
potatoes, the kind that bring the best

rowings in the spring up to planting
time will conserve moisture, keep the

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 Veaied.

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 by 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 of beef cattle and feeding, repre-
sent two legitimate and distinct in
dustries in Maryland. Each has Its
individual and circumscribed sphere,
yet each is handicapped by merging
or fusion of the one with the other.
The result Is that neither industry
represents the greatest degree of effi'
cheney, nor returns the greatest
amount of profits possible through a
more distinct separation Of the two.
ITO this end there should be rec
oPnized by the breeders Of each class
of animals, the distinct and definite
fields of the other.
"The practice Of using animals OF
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, if 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
mails.
"The two industries are well de
fined, though closely related. Strict
adherence to the legitimate spheres OF
each will benefit the breeders Of both
and rapidly place the breeds in the
positions where the energies Of the
breeders are striving to place them"
