Proper Planting of Shade Trees.


The beauty of a shade tree depends
upon it's normal and symmetrical
growth. In order to insure this, be-
fore planting cut off the ends of all
broken or mutilated roots; remove all
side branches save upon evergreens,
so that a straight whiplike stalk alone
remains. Dig holes at least two feet
in diameter and one foot deep in good
soil, and make them four feet across
in poor soil. The sides of holes should
be perpendicular and the bottom fiat.
Break up soil in the bottom of the hole
to the depth of the length of a spade
blade. Place two or three inches OF
fine top soil, free from sods or other
decOmpOsing organic matter, in the
bottom of the hole. On top Of this
place the roots of the tree, spread
them as evenly as possible over the
bottom of the hole, and cover with
two or three inches of fine top soil
as before. Tramp firmly with the feet
and fill the hole with good earth, leav-
Ing the surface loose and a little higher
than the surface of the surrounding
soil. When the work Of planting is
completed, the tree should stand about
two inches deeper than it stood in the
nursery.

expensive hay and grains. The aver.
age cost Of wintering the cows on these
farms was $14. The average quantity
of silage fed on the next so farms was
1.S tons, nearly one-third of the ration
being made up of this feed. Although
the cows on these farms received 100
feed units less feed, their winter-feed
bill was 1858. In the next group,
q farms, silage constituted one-half
Of the ration, the COWS receiving an
average of 2.75 ton each. AS only one
fourth of this ration was composed of
the cheaper roughage, the average
feed bill for these cows was ST al
though they received 400 feed units less
than did the COWS in the first group.
It is evident that on the farms in this
third group silage was replacing too
largely the cheaper farm by-products.

AID FOR Pig CLUB MEMBERS

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
One of the most potent ways of inc
creasing the number of hogs is by en--
cOUcaging more boys and girls to join
pig clubs. In the past these clubs
have been markedly successful. They
have been the means Of introducing
purebred hogs into many commune
ties and raising the standard of hogs
as well as improving the conditions
under which they are kept and the
care given them. The number of pig
clubs in the Northern states on June
80, 1917, totaled 1887; in the South
the number of community clubs is be-
tween 1000 and $500, and in almost
every club are found members of pig
clubs. Although the number is large,
it is possible to increase it greatly by
forming more clubs in counties where
there are agents to direct properly
the efforts Of the young people. In
order to stimulate these activities, the
department during the past year has
added to it's force several pig club
specialists, and a number of the agri-
cultural colleges have done likewise.
LII t1A1O WOAhS IL 10 VI AISL
that proper instructions be given to
the members in regard to all phases Of
swine husbandry so that clubs will be
successful in bringing to market a
large percentage of the pigs under
their care. Club should not be or
ganized unless there is ample assur-
ance that sufficient feed will be avail
able to bring the pigs to maturity.
Swine breeders associations have
been active for q number of years In
assisting pig club members to secure
purebred hogs at reduced prices. This
has made it possible for members to
obtain good stock with which to lay
the foundation for a herd of purebred
swine. The result has been the intro
ductiOn into many communities of de-
sirable breeding stock and the stimu-
1atiOn of more widespread interest in
good quality hogs. Swine breeders
associations doubtless will be willing
to continue in the future the assistance
given to club members in the past.
Bankers in many states have real
lied the value of pig clubs as means
of materially improving rural condi-
tons and at the same time increasing

30 inches from the floor, depending on
the height of the building. This gives
space enough under them so that the
hens have room to exercise and is not
too high for the heavier hens to fly up
to. The rOosts should be 8 or 4 inches
above the dropping boards. If more
than a single roost is used, they should
be on the same level otherwise all the
hens will try to crowd upon the high
est roost. A piece of 2 by or 2 by 3,
laid on edge and with the upper cor
ners rounded off, makes a good roost.
A pole, or even a piece of board 2 or
inches wide, may be used. If the roost
is of light material and fairly long, it
should be supported in the center, as
we'll as at the ends, to prevent it from
sagging badly. An allowance of to
10 inches of rOost space per fowl, ac-
cording to the size of the birds, Should
be made. If more than one roost is
used, they should be placed about Is
inches apart.

Fed in Modsrate Amounts.
In an investigation conducted by
specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, which includ-
ed q study of nearly 500 stock farms
in the corn belt states, it was found
that silage is an excellent feed for
breeding animals, but that from the
standpoint of economy it ordinarily
should be fed only in moderate amounts
and that it should not replace too much
of the cheap roughage. One hundred
of the farms Cor neatly One-f1fth Of

feed bill was SIG per head. On % of
these farms approximately II per cent

simple stanchions may be constructed
to prevent losses of milk and insure
the equal distribution of the feed. To
prevent the calves from sucking one
another they should be kept in the
stanchions for some time after feeding.
A calf stanchion may be constructed
of cheap or scrap lumber. 1t is usu-
ally SO to 40 inches high and has
four-inch space for the calf's head.

sUCCULENT FEED FOR HORSE
Roots and Corn siIage Not Used to
Any Great Extent-Carrots
Considered Best.

Succu1ent feeds, such as roots and
corn silage, have not been used in this
country to any great extent for horse
feeding. OF the root crops, carrots are
low in food value, when compared with
grains. they have high value as con-
ditioners. The serious objection to
their extended use is the large amount
of hand labor required in their produc-
ton.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrtculture.)
In many sections Of the corn belt
corn fodder is being replaced gradu-
ally by silage in the ration for beef
animals. Where there are enough ami
mails to justify the building of silo
the feeding of silage is usually the
more economical practice Of the two,
as a much larger proportion Of the
slower can be utilized as silage than
otherwise. Not only is the corn plant
more fully utilized, but cattle usually
do better on silage than on a dry ra-
ton.
Expensive Feed.
Silage, because Of the grain that it
contains and because of the expense of
putting it up, is a relatively expensive
feed; consequently in localities where
large amounts of cheap, rough feeds
are available the silo may. not always
prove economical. However, when
such roughage is scarce and high
priced the feeding of silage usually
will pay. This would be especially
true if, instead of cutting their high
est-yielding corn, the farmers habitu-
ally would select that part of the crop
having the least grain. The silo is Of
especial value in helping to make the
most of the corn crop in years when
the corn is badly damaged by drought
or when because of frosts it does not
get chance to mature.
In years when hay and grain are
both high. the putting of husked slower

the members good business methods.
Not a few bankers have made it pos
sible for worthy club members to Sc
cure pigs on their personal notes. IN
this way a well-bred pig is obtained
through the efforts of a county agent
or pig club leader or specialist and
a banker. The member is given the
opportunity to pay for it from the pro-
ceeds Of the pig as a meat animal or
from Che sale Of offspring in case Of
breeding animal. Often the member
enters into business agreement with

erwise it would have been impossible
for the child to have Joined the club.
In other instances the bankers have
bought bred gifts to be bred and
given them to club members with the
understanding that two pigs were to be
returned for the original gilt loaned.
These pigs in turn are lent to other
children. This plan is the sO-called
endless chain contract. Either plan
has resulted in increasing interest in
pig clubs with it's accompanying ex-
pansion in the supply OF pork products
and the instruction in swine husbandry
which is a part of the club work. The
banker thus helps to lay foundation
for the prosperity which will be last
ing. The money received from the
sale Of hogs will be expended in fur
Their developing the county. Every
in the county will profit, the
banks will get more deposits, and the
farmers will have more money with
