GROW FINE EARLY soUAsHES
Difficulty Experienced in North Where
Season Is Short-Wise to Start
Under Glass in Pots.

In many localities it has been diff
f1cult matter in recent years to grow
fine squashes and have them fully
ripened before frost came. This is es-
pecially true at the north where the
season is short, and difficulty is ex-
perienced in getting the seed to grow
when planted in the spring.
1t is wise plan to start pumpkins
cucumbers and squashes in flower pots
under glass, so that the plants will
have good start and will be ready for
blooming much sooner than those
planted in the open ground.
A three or four-inch pot will hold
from one to three seeds and the plants
may be allowed to become nice size
before being transplanted. The trans
planting is easily done, and there
should be no injury to the roots.
Simply turn the pot over and strike
the edge on a box or board. The ball
of earth holding the well-formed mass
of roots will drop from the pot, and
can be placed in the cavity made to re-
ceive it; the plants will scarcely show
they were disturbed, and long before
other squash or pumpkin vines are in
bloom, the pot plants will have bios
somed. They will not need any protec-
ton from pollen from other plants
causing danger of mixing, which is SO
detrimental in recent years.

ELIMINATION OF ALL WASTE
Methods Which Have Been Discovered
for Developing By-Products-use
Gull Potatoes.

Every farmer and fruit grower
should secure copy of the annual re-
port for 1915 of Chief Chemist Ais
berg of the department of agriculture,
Washington, D. c., which tells, in
a most interesting and instructive way,
of the research work done during the
past year and of the methods which
have been discovered for making new
uses of by-products and preventing
waste which is the bane of American
life. ...
Successful experiments were con-
Quoted in drying potatoes on COM
mercial scale for stock feed. In or
der to provide an outlet for Gull po-
tatoes, better methods were discov-
cred for making potato starch, glucose
and dextrine.
It was demonstrated that number
Of valuable by-products can be OBJ
tanned from the waste of canning fac
tories. Oil, closely resembling the oil
of bitter almonds, was found in cherry
pits. The other waste products Of
the canning factories produced valu'
able sirups, jellies and alcohol.
What farmers need most these days
is an outlet for surplus crops. The
law of supply and demand usually
takes care of the main crops.

CABBAGE REQUIRES RICH SOIL
Early Varieties Most Acceptable as
They Come When Such Food Is
Needed-GroW Quickly.

Cabbage is easily grown if the soil
is rich enough, and the very early va
rieties are most acceptable, as they
come at time when such food is most
needed. The style of head varies so
much that every taste should be graft
fed. Round head or pointed head,
flat head or drum head, stone head
and sure head, all have their. vir-
tues.
Grow them quickly and feed the
soil, and almost any of the standard
varieties will give satisfaction. One
year one kind will seem to excel and
another year this same variety will be
a disappointment. Much depends on
the soil and the season.
Cauliflower is almost as easily grown
as cabbage, but more apt to be in
tested with worms, and for this rea-
son is not a favorite with the ordi-
nary gardener.

BIG PROFIT IN SHEEP
As Safe and Attractive as Any
Other Line of Stock.
Nowhere Is There an Instance of De-
cline in ,WeIl-EstabIished Hus-
bandry Based on Production
of Meat and Wool.

Raise sheep! This was the advice
Of F. r. Marshall of the bureau Of ami
NAL industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture in an address be-
fore the members of the Kansas Sheep
Breeders association at the agricul-
tural college in connection with farm
and home work.
'It is now time for the livestock
farmer to make sheep raising one Of
his regular lines of production" said
Mr.. Marshall. Putting aside the eff
fects of war conditions, prospective
values of lambs and wool render sheep
raising fully as safe and attractive, to
the man who will study and under
stand the business, as is the raising of
cattle, horses or swine
"Prior to 1914 such statement as
this would not have been justifiable.

Western Lambs on Soy Beans and
Corn Pasture.

Assured meat values of the future, the
need Of greater economy in the use of
farm labor, and the full utilization of
pastures place sheep raising in an en-
tirely new light.
"Some agricultural journals and
question the safety of engaging in
sheep raising and base their ideas upon
statistical facts of decline in popular
ity of sheep in eastern states. Such
statistical deductions are entirely mis-
leading, as nowhere is there an in
stance in the United States of decline
in well-established sheep husbandry
based on the production of both meat
and wool.
"The farm flocks that have disap-
peared in the past were raised pri-
marily and almost entirely for wool
production and beyond the fact that
they were sheep had little in common
with the kind Of sheep that are now
being placed upon American farms and
which will be found in the near future
on nearly all farms.
"An important feature in starting
the sheep business is to quickly work
into a flock of about 100 ewes, or as
is recommended by the University of
Illinois, q eve for each two acres of
the farm. The small flock which has
heretofore been recommended for
using weeds and waste feed, and Incl
dentally as a small source of profit, is
the flock that becomes diseased and, be-
cause of it's insignificance in the farm
business, is certain to be neglected"

MULES DEATH ARMY RECORD
Red Tape Causes Difficulties in Prov

Demise.

The precision and discipline of the
army are exemplified by the receipt at
National Guard. headquarters in New
York of two long ears, once the prop

came to her end at Camp Whitman re-
Gently. A report of the animals
demise was sent in due course to Capt
Joseph w. Farrell of the quartermas-

There is a rule in the National
Guard that physical evidence must be
given of every article broken, lost or
destroyed. If belt buckle breaks the
belt, minus the buckle, must be pro-
duced before the loss can be recorded
on the books.
So with Genevieve. Definite visible
evidence of her ultimate fate must be
displayed before the bookkeeping and
accounting departments were permit
ted to write her obituary. After long
consultations of important officers in
structions were forwarded to Camp
Whitman, in accordance with which a
package arrived at headquarters,
which was found to contain the follow.

Futile Strategy.

Bridget had proved to be all that a
servant should be in regard to her du-
lies, but, unfortunately, her energies
never seemed to extend to keeping her
own face clean.
Her mistress desired to tell her to
wash her smutty countenance, but, not
wanting to offend such treasure, she
resorted to strategy.
'sDo you know, Bridget" she re-
marked in a confidential manner, "if
you wash your face in hot, soapy wa
ter it will make you beautiful?'
.Sure, an it's wonder We niver
thried it yersilf, ma'am," was Bridget's

SOY BEANS ARE LEGUMIN0US
Common Practice to Dr. Them To.
aether With corn-Hogs Do Well
on Such a Ration.
(By E. PENCE.)


Like corn, the soy bean is hot
weather plant and does best where the
season and soil are favorable to corn
growing. The soil should be prepared
the same as for corn, plowing deep
and working down to fine, firm seed
bed. It is a common practice to drill
soybeans and corn together, hogging-
off in the fall. This is a fine combina-
ton and hogs do well on such ration.
Three or four beans to the foot in a
row is proper distance to sow when
drilling with corn. When drilled alone
it would be better to sow little more
thickly.
AS forage crop the soy beans are
about equal to alfalfa in protein value
and as palatable and digestible. They

belong to the leguminous family such
as clovers, vetches, COW peas, ETC., hav-
ing the power of extracting the most
expensive plant food from the air and
storing it in the soil.
When sowing to a field where they
have never been grown, the seed or
soil should be inoculated. This can
be done by taking soil from field pre-
viously planted with soy beans and
scattering it over the field you intend
to SOW, and harrow Immediately, or
mix with the seed and drill.
There are a number of varieties,
early, medium and late. The medium
will ripen in about 40 days. They
are great soil builders and often Yield
two or three tons of hay and 20 to 90
bushels of seed per acre.

SPRING WORK WITH THE BEES
1t Is Duty of Beekeeper to Get Plenty
of Bees in Time for Honey Flow
for Success.

The duty of the beekeeper in the
spring is to get plenty of bees in time
for the honey flow. If this is not
done his work is a failure. The popu-
lation of the colony is reduced during
the winter, especially where winter
ing conditions are not the best, and
this must be corrected if the colony
is to get the full honey crop. 1t is
poor beekeeping to have weak col
