KEEP BEST ANIMALS
FOR MEAT PURPOSES
Big Mistake to Send Breeding
Stock to Butcher on Account
of High-PriCed Feed.

(By r. II. WILLIAMS, Animal Husband
man, Arizona Agricultural Experiment
Station.)
Owing to the high price of feeds
scarcity of labor and the unusually
high prices ruling for meat animals,
there is tendency to send some of
the best breeding stock to the butch
er. This is a big mistake, for it Is
certain that the best animals should
be maintained. This is the time, how
ever, to inspect the tlOcks, herds and
studs and eliminate all inferior or or
binary individuals. On the other
hand, stockmen would do well to MAIN
tain all their superior breeding stock
for they are certain to be needed in
the future. There is growing ten
dency to decrease the number of live
stock in the country. This pOrtends
meat shortage unless public-spirited
stOckmen or those gifted with long
vision check the present movement.
There is no doubt that many farmers
will be discouraged with the live stock
business and sell their animals out
right. Something should be done to
remind the farmers that all these ami
mails are needed and the best should
be retained for future use.

PLAN FOR RENEWING
WORKOUT PASTURES
Sweet Glover Is Valuable Soil
RenovatOr and Makes Excel
lent Forage for Stock.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
"Grow sweet clover" is the answer
for poor soil or wOrn-Out pastures
which no longer support live stock
prOtitably, according to investigators
of the United States department of
agriculture, who have found that thou
sands of acres of sweet clover are fur
nishing annually abundant pasturage
for all kinds of stock on soil where
other crops made but little growth.
In many portions of the middle
West sweet clover bids fair to solve
serious paSturage problems, according
to Farmers Bulletin $40, "Sweet Clio
yer: Utilization" just issued. Native
pastures which no longer provided
more than scant living for mature
steer on four or five acres, when prop
erly seeded to sweet clover, will pro-
duce sufficient forage to carry at least
one animal to the acre throughout the
season. Dairy cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs all do well on sweet clover.
Land which is too rough or too depict
ed for cultivation or permanent pas
lures which have become thin and
weedy may be improved greatly by
drilling in, after diskng Il few
pounds of sweet clover seed per acre
Not only will the sweet clover add
considerably to the quality and guam

of the grasses will be improved by
the addition of large quantities of hu-

Sweet clover has proved to be an
excellent pasturage crop on many of
the best farms In the North Central
states. In this part Of the country
it is often seeded alone and pastured
from the middle or the latter part of
June until frost,

AVOID BIG LOSS TO
MELONS IN TRANSIT
SuIphate- Starch Paste Has Been
Found to Prevent Trouble
Called Stem-End Rot.
(F'rom the United States Department of
AgriCulture)

F>rom the United States Department Of
AgriCulture)
The application of copper sulphate-
starch paste or bordeaux paste to the
freshly cut stems of watermelOns has
been found to prevent the stem-end rot
that has causd heavy losses to melons
in transit in previous years.
This treatment was recommended in
Farmers Bulletin No. S21 recently is
sued, and has been demonstrated at
loading stations by agents of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture.
The treated melons have been prac-
tically free from stem-end rot, where
as shipments sent from infected dis
tricts without treatment have given
much trouble. In one case, two cars
arrived in a Northwestern city on the
same day. One, untreated in ventilat-
ed car, had 25 per cent of decay, while
the other, which had been treated, al
though in an ordinary unventilated
box car, had only 2 per cent Of decay.
Several large shippers are now in
sisting that this treatment be given
all melons they buy and it appears
likely that the departments method of
control will quickly come into general
use. The results secured in Florida
and south Georgia justify the adOp-
ton of the treatment in districts now
shipping.
Detailed directions are to be found
in Farmers Bulletin No. S21, sent free
upon application to the department of
agriculture.

SUMMER CULTIVATION
OF ORCHARD NEEDED
Three Methods That May Be
PraCtiCed Are Explained by
Kansas College Expert.

Summer cultivation of the orchard
is necessary if profit is to be made,
in the opinion of f. S. Merrill, assist
ant professor of horticulture in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
'"Three methods may be practiced
in the cultivation of an orchard" said
Professor Merrill. "The first of these
is the sod mulch system. This is prac-
ticed on bottom land or land high in
fertility. Orchards on fertile land are
likely to produce a heavy growth of
wood, which prevents the formation of
fruit buds. In order to overcome this
grass crop should be sowed in the
orchard. The grass crop is moved
when necessary and allowed to remain
on the ground.
"The second method, often used,
consists of sowing a grass crop in the
orchard and harvesting the hay. This
system is injurious to the trees and re-
duces the size and value of the fruit.
"Where the topography and slope of
the land will permit, clean cultivation
is advisable. 1t kills the weeds and
conserves the moisture. Orchards
cultivated in this manner will produce
larger fruit than under other systems
of cultivation.
Clean cultivation will keep down in
sect pests by destroying their hibernat-
ing places and food supply. The buff
falO tree hopper is less injurious in
clean, cultivated orchards, because 1t
removes their food supply"

The Potato BLESSING.

Riding outside the city, one will not
fail to see the wide eXpanse of potato
plants growing luXuriOuSly, and forth
with he INDUCES in anticipatiOns or
the golden plenty that is soon to be the
good fortune of our people. But cloud
ing these anticipations is a dark fear
that the speculator will invade these
premises and get nearly all these pOta-
toes into his own hands and by some
sort of restriction or limitations so
work the prospects that he will be
able to keep up the price and gnther
in the profits, says the Ohio State Jour
nal. 1t would be a decided advantage
to the public welfare if 1t could be so
decreed that no producer should sell
to n mere speculator. There is no OPP
preston in that. OF course, it might
stave off little inconvenience, but it
will pay in the end. Let us hope that
the beautiful potato prospect will turn
out public blessing.

What American Voice Is Good For.

What American Voice Is Good For.
= recent dispatch from London to
the New York Sun records the fact
that an American physician visiting
In that city has discovered that AmeTi-
can voices are better adapted to the
use of the telephone than the British
voices. To this defect in the British
vocal cords he ascribes the fact that
the telephone service of London Is
much maligned, and says:
Americans do not have soft voices,
but their vocal cords are tuned correct
ly for telephOnIng. English voices are
not. They seem to lack the timber nee
essary for carrying over the wires.
1t is often remarked that American
women are given to talking loudly in
restaurants and other places. As n
matter of fact, they do not talk any
louder than their English sisters. hut
their voices have a carrying quality
that is sometimes rather trying. How
ever, 1t makes telephone using a pleas
ure for Americans, whereas for Britons
the telephone Is always more or ieSd
an instrument of torture.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of a census taken
of the insane, feeble-mihded epilepticS,
inebriates and drug addictS by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by HOratio NJ. Pollack, statistiCi-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase Of population from
April Is, 1910, to January 1, 1917, was
11.S0 per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was 1S7,791.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234,055 insane persons in in
stitutions. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the corre-
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that Of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate Of increase Of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
in which the disparity between growth
of population and increase in insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
population increase was 9S4 per
cent, as compared with percentage
of increase of insane in institutions of
27.3S The neighboring state Of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of AGA and 27.44 re-
