Sour Milk for Eggs

While the production of eggs dur ing the winter when high prices pre- vail is the result Of proper breeding, matching. rearing and care. proper feeding will always tend to stimulate egg production at that season.
 One reason why hens lay we'll in spring and summer is that they are able to obtain animal protein in the form of bugs and worms. During iaii and winter, therefore, the poultry feeder should attempt to initiate sum mer feed conditions. The commerciai poultryman supplies animal protein py feeding meatscraps. but the 1armer often fails to provide this feed
 Skim milk, preferably sour, IS most excellent substitute for meat scrap and will give good returns when fed to laying hen. Numerous experi- ments have shown that laying hens fed skim milk will double in egg pro. auction similar hens fed no form of animal protein. .sa Pennsylvania State college school or agriculture and experiment. s'aeioi, exact value of sour milk as sour of protein, is difficult to state.

Farm Pointers

Barnyard manure has proved the most valuable fertilizer for farm crops. Yet 1t is estimated that not more than 50 per cent of the fertilizing value of manure ever reaches the fields. The loss is caused by poor methods of handling. Very often the manure is left under the caves of the barn to heat and leach. Frequently it is thrown out into the yard to be tram pied over by the live stock, remain ing there for the greater part of the summer to be washed out and decom- posed
 Wood ashes make a good fertilizer for strawberries and the legume crops, such as peas and beans. They contain from four to six per cent potash, about two per cent phosphoric acid, and from 20 to 30 per cent lime.
 Try saving seed of some of the veg etables and flowers in the garden this year, Seed may be harder to get next year than this. Set out well-shaped roots of carrot. parsnip onion, beet, cabbage or other plants early this spring and save the seed as it ma lures.
 Unsprayed trees in certain Iowa or chards produced in 1917 an average of 2.4 bushels of apples; sprayed trees, 5.4 bushels Not only was the quantity doubled, but the quality went from 3 per cent clean in unsprayed, to SIS ill the sprayed orchards.

The Crop Outlook

We are already on the brink of another crop season with it's uncertainties or weather and results, not to mention the long hours of irksome toll and suitry heat.
 On account of these conditions, we as farmers, are likely to be pessimistlc ana believe this is true of farmers the world over Pessimism is, however, dan gerous mind attitude, comfort-dispeiler and friend estranger.
 Who is there that enjoys conversation with the man who thinks all things are wrong? The last three seasons have in deed been dscouraging ones for the farm CT but despite this l know from actual seeing that the poor of our cities are ID times worse off than the poorest farm CTS.
 At least this year we can cultivate a crop of kind feelings and constructive criticism. While we ride back and forth on the cultivator blow, or other tool that gives us chance to think, let us give need to the blessings we do enjoy and thought to the problems of our individual farms that often go unthought of and unsoiVed.

Sheep Killed by Dogs

Investigation by the United states ae- partment of agriculture among sheep owners in 15 states east Of the ROCKY mountains shows that out of total or (, 6,S36 492 sheep in the 502 counties report ing. 8, ,GS3 were killed by dogs in one year Q9l3) and were paid for by the counties, At the same rate of loss in other farm states the total annual destruction or sheep by logs would be 107, 760.
 But these figures are based only upon the number actually paid for. and it Is more than probable that the true losses far exceed this'' says Farmers Bulletin 935 ''The Sheep Killing Dog. Tt IS known that many sheep are killed which are never reported to the county official
 'In 1913 crop reports in 36 farm states submitted estimates which showed that the number of sheep in those states could be increased 150 per cent without displac- ing other live stock. Such an increase would place approximately 3400o,o0o more sheen in these states than there are now. Of 14l answers received to the question as to whether sheep raising is profitable in the farm states. sS7 answered Yes. Of S94 answers as to the causes preventing increase in the numpers of sheep, osl said, Dogs.

Mushrooms as Food

What is the food value of the mush- rooms? In spite of assertions by many writers, mushrooms cannot be considered a substitute for meat, as many pounds of mushrooms would have to be eaten to equal single pound of flesh. Chemical analysis, the United States department of agriculture points out, shows that mushrooms and other edible fungi con tain very high percentage of water about % per cent. The remaining 10 per cent or so consists very largely of starches or sugars. They contain very little nitrogenous matter and no fat, two of the important food elements in meat. Therefore, instead of being important substitutes for meat, as described in many articles, mushrooms are eompara- ble to such vegetables as carrots or tur- nips. The butter, cream eggs, and oth- CT materials commonly used in prepar- ing mushroom dishes are of more food value than the mushrooms themselves
 Those who complain that failure to gather wild mushrooms results in the loss of large amounts of food material fail to consider the amount of time and trouble which would have ,v oe devoted to gathering any large amount of these fungi Mushrooms appear sporadically and there is no way of telling whether a day spent in searching for them will yield any results.
 Amateurs commonly have difficulty in distinguishing between poisonous and edible species and there is absolutely no safe test except the appearance of the mushroom. The collector must be care full observer and indiscriminate gather ing of wild mushrooms well might lead to serious results. While the depart ment of agriculture would not discourage the collection and use of mushrooms by competent persons, it emphasizes that their food importance is more as an entree than as a staple article of diet. For the reasons stated above the depart ment does not believe that it would be sensible to inaugurate campaign for the general collection of fungi.
 Those interested in mushrooms should apply for farmers bulletin 796. Some Common Edible and Poisonous Mush- rooms" which deals with ordinary va rieties.

Wade's Letter

When spring time open unusually the spirit of extra early planting There are nearly always some adverse wealth CT changes to follow. Sometimes it is frost or freezes but more frequently long. cool, cloudy spells do most of the damage by rotting the seed just as they are trying to germinate By far the greatest damage is generally done to cotton seed, as they are more sus- ceptible to cold when plenty of mois ture is present and the temperature is low. They must either germinate or spoil and if the temperature remains low for a week, spoil and decay is usually the result.
 There are three natural conditions necessary to cause seed to germnate. The three elements are heat, air. and moistur all acting in conjunction with each other If moisture is not pres ent, the seed will keep and wait for the moisture to come. If sufficient moisture is present. the seed will try to germinate If the air is excluded by too much wet soil or the tempera- ture of the soil remains less than 4S degrees for a week, the soil will spoil instead of germinating. This condition cannot always be avoided, but can be materially helped by planting medium early instead of extra early. Plant ing shallow is the best means of pro tecting By having the seed near the surface the excess moisture soon sinks below and the suns rays restore some heat to the surface between clouds or through the clouds when thin areas are passing. I have never known stand to be lost when planted shall low to the extent of being barely GOV cred Late planting when the weather is dry and no indication of rain is the only time shallow planting is not advisable
 The recent cool, cloudy weather has caused many poor stands of cotton. As a general rule farmers plant their best seed first and seldom have any thing left for replanting but mixed gin run seed Many times the stands are so poor that blowing up and plant ing it over is necessary, if it can be done in due time. I have seen many thin stands plowed up that should have been left and cultivated. I would rath- CT have what many people call so per cent of a stand of old cotton than to have two stands of late cotton planted with gin run mixed seed. Many people call 10 times too much cotton stand thin stand of cotton is tedious to work, but always makes the largest yield if it is anyways near regular What is meant by regular IS not hav> ing too many long skips. It is best to replant a few skips and save your cotton, if you have what most people call so per cent of stand Some of the largest yields that have observed were produced from skippy stands where the skips were planted with cowpeas or peanuts. If your first planting of cotton is thin and 75 per cent regular, keep it. Late cotton makes good boil weevil pastures J. A. WADE,
