IMPORTANT To SPRAY
ORCHARDS IN WINTER

To use a cheap grade of spraying ma
terial is poor economy, writes F. A.
Lawton in the Orange Judd Farmer.
For several years have used lime sui
phur with more or less success. Last
year I decided to try the soluble sui
phur compound and found it is much
better to handle and the results from
spraying were improved. Orchards
that had not responded readily to for
mer treatment were in much better
shape after a winter spraying with
soluble sulphur compound.
The winter spray for fungus should
be put on before the buds start in the
spring. This is the most important
spraying of all, for if an orchard is
badly infected with fungus no amount
of summer spraying will give good
fruit, while an orchard given a thor
ough treatment of winter spray will
give a crop of fruit in fair condition
without any other treatment. But If
you wish to be sure of getting first
class apples the winter spray should
be followed by another later on when
the blossoms begin to fall, and perhaps
more spraying later in the season
might be desirable.
Plums and peaches need several sum
mer sprays to keep down the rot
Some form of arsenate of lead should
be used with the spray at the time the
blossoms begin to fall. as this will
largely do away with wormy fruit. |
have raised several hundred bushels
of cherries during the last few years,
and by giving them a thorough spray
ing with lime sulphur and arsenate Of
lead just as the blossoms fall, have
never been troubled with wormy chez
ries. only on the tops of high trees
where the spray did not reach. Cher
ries should have at least three spray
ings, the first when the blossoms fall,
the second two weeks later and the
third after the fruit is gathered.
To get the right results an orchard
should be thoroughly trimmed, all
sprouts and dead leaves cut out, and
enough branches taken out to give the
sunlight and air free access to the cen
ter of the tree. For fruit, to be good.

POULTRY HOUSE SITE.
high Ground Best Location For All
Seasons of the Year.

high Ground Best Location For All
Seasons of the Year.
High ground is the best location for
the poultry house, according to T. S.
Townsley. assistant in poultry hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
turaF college.
Dryness is a most important factor
to be considered in the selection of a
site for the poultry house. Dampness
is one of the greatest enemies of poul-
try. The soil on which the house is
built should have good drainage. This
may be obtained by selecting high
ground or soil that is sandy or of light
gravel.
A high location is desirable in win
ter also because of the air drainage.
The cold air flows into low places and
causes frozen combs and toes in pOul-
try wintering there. A southern slope
is preferable because it is warmest in
winter and dries quickly after rain.
A northern exposure should be avoid
ed, for it is cold in winter and warns
up late in the spring.

Sprav For CABBAGE Pest,

l have been making a speciality of
onions and cabbages but have been
much troubled with green worms,
writes a correspondent of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist. | have tried differ
ent formulas but have now found one
that l have never seen in print. 1t is
doing me more service than any l have
tried. Here it is: Take a half pint
crude or raw petroleum oil and add a
half teaspOOnful of potash. Shake
these well together To this add ten
gallons of water and a little paris
green or arsenate of lead. 1t will kill
the worms and will stick to the leaves
until the, cabbage grows l apply this
preparation with a compressed air
sprayer, throwing it we'll into the loose
heads and over the tender leaves. The
preparation mixes smoothly and evenly
and will not injure the foliage in any
way. 1t must be thoroughly mixed to
be effective.

The question Of the relative value Of
marriage and single blessedness in re-
gard to long life has often engaged the
attention of scientific men. Some years
ago M. Bertillon produced set of fg-
ures. on the subject, and "the result
of all calculations is that from twenty
five to thirty years of age the mortal
ity per 1000 is in married men and
1914 in bachelors" Statistics, of that
kind, 1 fear, are Of little value when
we remember that it is the man who
is better Off and physically strong who
gets married. The cynical view of the
real position is of course that the mar
ried man does not live longer-it only
seems longer to him. - Westminster
Gazette.

Making the
Farm Pay
TIME OF PLANTING CORN.
In semiarid Regions Seed Should Be
Put In Early In the Spring.

In Semiarid Regions Seed Should Be
Put In Early In the Spring.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
Though corn will not grow during as
cold weather as wheat and oats, 1t is
remarkable how early in the spring
corn can be planted and produce good
stands and good yields if seed Of per-
feet vitality is used Seed of perfect
vitality will often remain in cold or
dry soils for several weeks and after
ward terminate and yield we'll. lrreg-
ular stands are sometimes attributed
to poor seed; when dry, poorly prepar-
ed spots are the cause. Fields are
sometimes seen in which the seed
terminated promptly in moist spots,
but did not terminate in dry spots I'M
til rains came.
Where the seasons are long and
moisture plentiful it is customary to
wait until the soil is warm before
planting. In semiarid regions, how
ever, corn should be planted early
With the soil in proper condition it is
generally advisable in semiarid regions,
south as well as north, to plant corn
before danger from frost is entirely
past.
Corn planted very early usually
makes a slow, tough growth and a
month after planting may be smaller
and look less promising than that
planted later. The early planted corn
rfpens first, however. and usually pro
dUces the larger or the better crop.
Because of its slow, tough growth corn
planted very early is not so suscepti-
BILE to frost and drought as corn plant
ed later and growing more rapidly.
In a series of years the gain in ma
ture corn secured from early planting
will more than make up for any in
jury from spring frOsts. Excellent
corn crops have been produced from
paintings frozen off or frozen back
where the plants were from a few
inches to a foot or more tall. Corn is
not often entirely killed by spring
frosts, and if some should be injured
the loss is much less serious than that
from summer drought Or from fall
frost
Early planted corn derives more ben
eft from the spring moisture supply,
becomes we'll rooted before summer
droughts begin and may even mature
before these droughts become severe.
Where the growing season is very
long and warm paintings made at
about thirty day intervals increase the
chances of hitting the season right and
raising some good corn.

he removes the plug, draining the tub.
Twice a day thereafter he sprinkles
the oats with cold water, until they
develop heat and begin to sprout
Growing too large for one tub, the
sproutihg oats are divided between
two.
Each morning the oats are turned
from one tub to another, care being
taken to pull and tear them we'll apart
IN the process. If they appear to be
heating too much he inserts the plug
and cools them off with cold water,
then takes out the plug and drains.
He has oats fully sprouted and ready
Tor the hens in six to ten days.
In winter he covers the tubs with
bUrlap bags and uses water with the
chill taken off for sprinkling.
On a large commercial poultry farm
In Massachusetts this method has been
adopted and has proved very satisfac-
tory. This farm uses dozens of tubs.
Every day the oats in each tub are
turned and, If necessary, cooled.

Prune the Orchard.

Fruit growers do not need to wait
until spring to prune their orchards,
says W. G. Brierley Of the division of
horticulture, Minnesota Agricultural
college. Results at University farm
show little or no difference in the
growth and maturity Of the wood
where pruning has been done any time
between November and May.
If the usual care is taken to make
the CUTS close to the main trunk Or
branches no stubs will be left to die
and decay, though the covering of
wounds with white lead and oil paint
or with common grating wax warmed
to the consistency of cold molasses will
give added protection. Moderate prun
ing is better than heavy cutting.

Bees For Farmers,

cause there are not enough bees to
store it. Nearly $15.OOOOOO worth of
honey could be produced every year in
the state. Only 100000 worth is col
lected. The honey could be collected at
a minor cost by keeping as many hives
Of bees in every yard as can be fed

WINTERING EWES.
Sheep Need Abundant Exercise to Keep
Them In Good Condition.

Them In Good CondItIon,
I am wintering thirty-one ewes in
one bunch l feed them one-half bush
ell of grain in the morning, mixture
composed of shelled corn, oats and
bran, equal parts. For roughness ]
give all the clover hay and corn fodder
they will eat up clean, writes CORE
spondent of the Ohio Farmer.
The grain trough is near where
feed the corn fOdder-sOme distance
from the sheep shed-so that the flock
will take plenty of exercise in going
back and forth. 1 think that if you
feed everything in one place sheep will
not take enough exercise and so get
rather sluggish.
The best time to feed lamb is be-
fore it is born. Feed for milk and then
your lambing troubles will be overcome
to a certain extent.
Never let the ram run with the ewes
any longer than six weeks, for he will
butt them around and cause them to
lose their lambs. They will mostly all
get with lamb sooner than this, but it
Is best to keep him in long enough to
be sure.
With both wool and mutton good
price, it pays to give good attention.

Hatch Early.

Will poultry breeders ever learn that
they must hatch their pullets reason
ably early if they are to lay high
priced winter eggs? If those who are
specializing in market eggs expect to
make the most Of their business. their
chicks Ishould lie Matched early enough
so the pullets would begin to lay by
Nov. or before. One pu!let may not
lay as many eggs as another. bat If the
first lays eggs in winter she will likely
be more profitable than the latter.

ing a large percentage of profit by
keeping such brood sOws in their herds
There are several reasons why brood
sows bring small filters, and firmly
believe that the one which contributes
to the trouble more than any other
is the practice of breeding sows too
young. It is no uncommon thing to
find sows weighing less than 100
pounds with pigs. Usually you find
them with only two pigs. The young
sows which you intend to keep for
brood sows should never be bred un-'
der nine months of age, and it is much
better to wait until they are twelve
to fourteen months old. Then if they
are not fully developed wait few
months longer Your brood SOW is
good for six or eight years, and if by
waiting few months in the beginning
before starting her on her life work
you can increase the size of her lit
tiers you have certainly made good
wages for those months.
Another thing which contributes to
no slight extent to cause small filters
is the lack of exercise. A brood SOW
which does not secure sufficient eXer
else becomes cross and may eat what
pigs she does farrOw. Improper care
and feeding also come in as contrib
utory causes of small filters. The SOW
to develop a large, strong litter of pigs
