people such as mortgage, notes, etc. The result will be the present worth of the farm business. Such an inventory with little study will tell us much that we never knew before about our business. It shows in the first place whether We have gained or lost on the farm business during the year, and with little further study will help Us in estimating profits from different enterprises. The objection to 1t is that we cannot tell very accurately in many cases why any particular en- terprise has gained or lost; why our corn was profitable; or why our dairy except in numbers shows a gain or loss. For this reason we should adopt some form of farm records by means of which we can tell more of those factors which affect the success of an enterprise.
 The new income tax law will de- mand that farmers, as well as city business men, have an accurate rec ord of their business and the farm in- ventory make good starting place. For the time involved a farm in- ventory gives a vast amount of in- formation. It will enable you to study

 food For the reason that the corn
 crop preceding is ordinarily heavily
 nanured, fertilized, or both, farmers
 sometimes neglect to apply piantfood needed by the cat crop.
 Regardless of how this plan works out in normal times, it is certain that special applications of plantfood for !oats will pay in 1918. This Is true not only on account of the hlgh Vaiue which the crop is. likely to have. but also because of the fact that fertili- gers viewed in terms of the crop in- crease they are capable of producing, are relatively cheaper than before the

No one knows, and for that reason alone every potato grower must take. steps to prevent the loss. Years ago, when it cost very little to grow an acre or po- tatoes, there was little incentive to

SPRAY YOUR ORCHARDS.
Time to Get After the Insect Pests and Protect Fruit Trees.

It is desirable for those who wish to grow good fruit and to keep their trees in good condition to know some- thing of their worst insect pests and the proper method of controlling same. At the present time, if you have not done so, your fruit trees should be sprayed, using dormant strength lime sulphur solution. If the dormant spraying is done. little later, just as 1 the leaf buds are showing green, it will control the San Jose and other pillar, and aids in the control of apple scab. Ii apfis are present, blaci. leaf forty should be added. Commercial lime sulphur can be
 easily purchased in most towns, and when diluted with water at the rate 1 Of one part of. lime sulphur to nine
 parts water is. ready to use :. When 1 black leaf forty. is used, it may. be
 added to, the diluted llme-sulphur so-
 ludon at the rate of one half pint to
 fifty gallons.
 1 Self boiled lime-sulphur may be
 prepared in the following manner:
 Procure eight pounds of fresh white
 wash lime and eight. pounds of fine sulphur, also forty-five to fifty, gal Ions of water. Start the lime stacking 1 H4AI elAAo SllI III LuC SUlpIluT
 using just enough water. to prevent
 burning and allow to boil from heat o1
 lime for fifteen minutes. Then dilute tand apply.
 It should be remembered that the
 above is for dormant spraying only
 and should never be used after tho tbuds have opened in the spring.
 When spraying peaches with dor. [mant strength lime sulphur the werl
 should be completed at least two
 weeks before the buds open in tn, fspring. e..

 The, registered Holstein COW Minnie Fay Pieterje in the Connecticut Agri- cultural College herd is an excellent example of a very efficient animal that without the scales and the Bab- cock test would, in the great majority of cases; not attract the attention of the casual observer or l1erdman. She possesses a particularly efficient type of udder, the blood and nerve system to which is highly developed. This organ however. is not at all conspicu- ous. '
 ! She has just completed third lactationi period of 3S5 days. She calyed rather late in life, being past
 three years of age when she dropped
 her first calf. At that time she pro- duced 17,320 lbs. of milk containing S57 pounds of butter F'reshening a little more than year, later. she pro duced 2G,S23 lbs. milk 759 lbs. of but l ter and again freshed after little l calwzng. In her third consecutive period just recently finished, she pro- duced 19,S02 slbs. of milk and FPS lbs. of butter.
