INCREASE OF HORSES
AND MULES NEEDED

"The price now being obtained for
good horses and good mules should
point the direction clearly to men
who have mares to breed" said E. A.
Trowbridge of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture recently
in discussing the horse and mule
situation.
"At the outbreak of the war we had
good supply of horses and mules.
| Approximately one and one-half mill
lion of horses and mules have been
taken into war service. Yet, until
recently no general improvement in
the price of horses has been noted.
Hogs have increased in price 80 per
cent and cattle and sheep have III
creased nearly as much. The time be-
tween the birth and the date of sale
of hogs is frequently not more than
year. With cattle and sheep, also,
money may be turned quickly and the
profit had. This is not the case with
horses. 1t requires six years to make
mature horse. Consequently the
feed item has been such big one
that horse breeders have hesitated
about increasing their operations. In
fact it is true in some localities that
fewer mares were bred last year than
the year before.
present prices for good horses and
good mules clearly indicate the desir-
ability of an increase in their num-
bers, but the insignificant price re-
ceived for mediocre and common
horse stock certainly indicates that
the country would be better off with
out them. 1t is true that there never
was time when the spread between
the price of good horse or mule and
common one was so great as it is
at the present time. Every indication
seems to point toward the desirable
ity of an increased production of good
horses and mules. There is just one
way to begin this increase and that is
to use good stations and good jacks
as sires."

SWEET POTATO PLANTS
GROWN IN HOTBED


Good sweet potato plants will go
long way toward successful crop.
The slips are started in am, ordinary
hotbed. J. T. Rosa, Jr., of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture offers the following sugges-
tons for growing the plants:
"Place about Is inches of fresh
strawy manure in a pit, soak and
pack it well. Next place layer of
three inches of sandy soil or clean
sand over the manure. On this ma
terial the sweet potato tubers are
laid, side by side, with slight intervals
between. Small to medium sized tu-
bers are best adapted for plant pro-
duction. After laying the tubers on
the soil, place another layer of soil
or sand two inches deep over the tops
of the tubers, The bed should be
kept moderately moist and quite warm
until the sprouts from the tubers
reach height of four or five inches
above the surface of the soil. This
requires about one month. Then a
hardening off" process should be CIV
en- for about two weeks before set
llnS Cne plalltS III TIE llelu. lHlS Coi-
sists in Withholding part of the mois-
ture supply and gradually increasing
the ventilation of the bed, toughening
up the plants and rendering them
more accustomed to outdoor condi-
tons.
The sweet potato bed should be
started about six weeks before the
date Of the first transplanting to the
open, which should not be made until
after all danger of frost is past. At
ter the first crop of sprouts is re-
moved from the bed for transplant
ing, the covering should be replaced
and the bed we'll watered once more.
This will induce the formation of a
second crop of plants from the same
tubers. This process can be repeated
at intervals of two weeks until five or
six crops of plants have been obtain
ed from the same bed. One bushel of
small to medium-sized tubers will re-
quire about 20 feet of hotbed space
and should produce at least 1900
plants.

DEAD SEED CORN
PROMISES BIG LOSS

From the basis of 1856 hills of corn
to the acre, every per cent of dead
corn planted in Missouri will mean a
loss of 35.5 pounds of corn per acre.
1t will mean loss of IL bushels of
corn for every % acres. In the total
production of the State it will mean
a reduction of 100000 bushels. This
would fill 5000 cars which-would make
train SO miles long.
Farmers can tell from these figures
what losses may occur as result of
planting INFESTED seed. Seed corn
which tests 25 per cent below normal
would reduce the yield to a point far
below the possibility of profit. The
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture has found that great deal
Of the seed corn is testing so per cent
or lower this year.

RAG DOLL SEED CORN TESTER

The rag doll seed corn tester, which
is perhaps the least expensive and
about as satisfactory as any, can be
made of a piece of muslin eighteen
inches wide and of any desired length,
depending on the number of ears to
be tested. If the tester is to accom-
modate 20 ears of corn, piece of
cloth 10 inches wide and four feet
long, will be ample.
The cloth should be marked off in
2 1-3 or 3-inch squares. These squares
may be smaller or larger as occasion
demands, but in general the 3-inch
square is large enough to accommo-
date as many kernels as will be used
usually not more than ten. At
least six inches of cloth should be al
lowed on each end of the tester be-
yond the squares.
After the kernels have been re-
moved from the ear and placed in the
numbered squares, the sides of the
cloth may be folded over and the
"doll" may then be rolled up without
fear of molesting the kernels. The
cloth which was left at either end
permits starting and finishing the roll
without losing the kernels.
The rag doll should be thoroughly
moistened either by sprinkling with
warm water or by immersing in a
bucket of warm mot hot) water for
two or three hours. After the cloth
has been thoroughly saturated it can
be put away in a warm place. The
rag doll must not be allowed to dry,
as moisture is essential. A good
method of maintaining the moisture
in the rag doll tester is to put it in
shoe box or small wooden box and
cover it with moist sawdust. AS with
other testers, the sprouting kernels
must not become chilled, as this will
not only retard, but may actually
prevent, the termination of the grain.
Other seed corn testers and COM
plete> directions for making tests are
described in Extension Circular 4S
of the University~of Missouri College
of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.

WELL FED FOALS
DEVELOP QUICKEST

Present conditions demand that no
time be lost between the birth Of a
foal and its maturity. Early maturity
is best for quickest returns whether
the animal is sold or retained on the
farm whore it was raised. "For the
best development Of horse stock"
says E. II. Hughes Of the University
Of Missouri College of Agriculture,
'the foal should be well fed. It
should be encouraged to cat early,
and when it begins to nibble at the
mares feed, low feed box should be
erected out of the reach Of the mother,
where the young animal can be fed
regularly. A mixture of ground oats
and bran, or a mixture of ground oats,
ground corn and bran or oil meal, is a
good feed during the summer and ear
1.-THE young colt must be encouraged
to eat, exercise, rest and grow. If the
mare and foal are turned to pasture,
exercise and rest are provided natu-
rally. Although grass is provided,
the foal should receive grain Ga mix
ture of crushed oats and bran, or
crushed oats, corn and bran) once or
twice daily, either in creep in the
pasture, or to be fed in the barn, I'M
less the mare is heavy sucker. If
the mare must work, keep the foal in
we'll fenced lot or paddock, or in a
good box stall that is ventilated and
we'll lighted. The colt should not fol-
low the mare at work. Careful man
agement of the mare is essential
while she is sucking her foal. She
should not be given too rich feed,
turned too suddenly to pasture or
brought in too hot and tired to her
hungry colt. An evenly regulated
supply of milk, uniform in quantity,
is needed. To secure such flow of
milk the mares feed should be regu-
lated. Avoid sudden changes of any
kind and shield her from too ex-
hausting work. Probably the best
feeds for the mare are corn, oats
bran, mixed clover and timothy or al
falfa hay. The mare and her foal
should have access to water and salt
whenever possible.
"By weaving time the colt should be
eating grain and grass or hay. I'm
der careful management, there will be
little trouble in weaving the foal. The
mare and colt should be separated
and the mare MIXED by hand to pre-.
vent caking of the udder. In the
meantime the colt should receive
plenty Of feed and water, and should
be kept in a well fenced lot, paddock
pasture or a good box stall where
there is plenty of fresh air and where
exercise comes naturally"

TESTS SEEDS FOR FARMERS

Missouri farms have been losing
many thousands Of dollars every year
by using seed of poor quality. These
losses have occurred mainly because
the farmers have not known how to
find out whether the seed they bought
was good seed or bad seed. The Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture wishes to remind farmers that
in cooperation with the United States
Department of Agriculture, it main
tains laboratory for the purpose of
testing their seeds. This laboratory
is equipped for rapid and accurate
tests of seed for purity and germina-
ton, and the work is done free of
charge.
Purity tests can be made and re-
ports returned almost Immediately
The termination tests require six
days or longer depending upon the
variety of seeds tested. 1t is posi-
BILE, however, with most kinds Of
seeds, for the farmer to secure sam.
pies from seedsmen, send them tt
Columbia for test, and then buy or
the results of the examination. A
half teacupful of small seeds, such as
clover and grass seeds, is sufficient
provided it is fair sample Of the
bulk from which it is taken. Fol-
larger seed, such as the grains, a pin,
should be sent. All seed should b.
sent by mail with the name and ad.
dress of the sender marked on the
package and letter should accom-
pany the sample, stating whether the
sample is to be tested for purity, fol
termination, or for both.

BROKEN CASTINGS
MAY BE WELDED

Farmers who followed the sugges-
ton of manufacturers of farm i'm
plements and inspected their farm ma
chinery for repairs the first week in
March, probably found some broken
castings. These castings, in many
cases says Z. w. Lehman of the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture, are scarcely worn. They
can be welded by an oxy-acetyiene
welder. Even worn castings that are
broken should not be thrown away,
since it may not be possible to obtain
new parts to replace them. They may
be welded by the same process and
made to serve until new parts can be
obtained.

The campaign for the Third Liberty
Loan will be opened on the 9Th of

ration Of a state Of war between the
United States and Germany.
The amount, terms, and conditions
of the loan are dependent upon fur
Their legislation,and will be announced
as soon as Congress has granted the
necessary powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the 9Th OF
April as the day to open the cam.
paign as the most fitting date to call
for patriotic response to the sum-

ask from the people at home the same
fervent patriotism that actuates our
