MULCH STRAWBERRIES NOW

i Strawberries need protection against
severe weather ard beds should be
provided with mulch for the winter.
The alternate freezing and thawing,
which lifts the plants partly out of
the soil, combined with wind and sun
shine in spring, is detrimental to the
bed and may be prevented by mulch
ing. ill.,,
Slough hay, oat, rye, wheat and bar
ley straw, manure, leaves and chopped
corn stalks are all used in Iowa and
are recommended by tn e horticultur-
lists OF Iowa State college. Slough hay
stands highest in favor, among Iowa
growers because 1t has few seeds. t,,5
Wheat straw holds W, better than
oat straw and so does not smother the
plants but it does not kill in winter
and also often contains wheat seed.
So oat straw is more generally pre-
ferred. Some growers use manure,
but most of them use it for the last
year before blowing up. Others use
leaves, holding them down with corn
stalks or manure. n.
About four tons to the acre is the
common usage 1t is best to use just
enough to hide the plants. In the
spring the mulch is removed from the
plants and left between the rows.
Early in January is a good time to
apply the mulch. ~

ZONE SYSTEM WORKS

That the zone system of shipping
livestock from the farm to the big
primary markets has been successful
since it was put in operation on Dec.
10. 1917, is the opinion Of the animal
husbandry men at Iowa State college.
The proof Of this is shown in the fig
ures recently given out covering the
second six months OF the system from
June 18th to Dec. IA, 1913. These
show that with hogs, sheep and cattle
the total number of cars in 1917 var
led widely from day to day while in
1918, the shipments were more equal
lied, resulting in a more stable mar
ket. In 1917 the weekly percentage
over the six months varied from Mon
day to Saturday as 1877, 1879, 23.9, 1876,
80, 81. In 1918 the variation in per-
centage was ISL, %, 14.2,I1S,S, 1i.s,.

thorities at Iowa State college A sat.
isfactory method is to put it up in or.
binary household canning jars. The
work can be done in any home.
The meat needs to be boiled or
roasted for half an hour and then curt
into pieces convenient for putting into
the jars. Before packing into the con-
tainers the bone, gristle and excessive
fat are removed. After the jars are
packed they are filled with boiling
water, the covers put on loosely and
set into a boiler with slat bottom
that keeps the jars from touching the
boiler bottom. Then the jars are
boiled, five hours for beef or four
hours for chicken or pork. After re-
moving the covers should be tight

ing, says the sheep extension man at
Iowa State college. If one is feeding
grain and roughage, the former can
gradually be reduced and the rough
age correspondingly increased. The
too liberal use of grain just previous
to lambing quite often results in the
eve having milk fever.
Silage is a good feed for pregnant
ewes if it has been made from corn

FARM NEWS DEPARTMENT
KEEP MANURE FIRM AND MOIST

When it Is not possible to haul out
manure to the fields when fresh, the
next best thing is to take proper pre-
cautions to best conserve it's value,
say the soil fertility men at the Iowa
experiment station. This can be done
by storing in a leanto shed, using a
covered yard or by proper stacking.
A cheap leanto shed makes an eco
nomical way of storage to prevent the
losses due to teaching or fermentation.
Where possible, water tight floor
should be provided. In order to check
kept moist and compact Add to 1t
sufficient water to saturate the pile.
The covered shed is recommended
by many farmers. This consists of
shed connected with the stable and
open on one side. The manure re-
moved from the stables is spread uni
formly in the shed and sufficient straw
scattered over the surface to insure
cleanliness
The mass can be kept compact by
the tramping of the animals. 1t may
be necessary to add water at various
times to keep the manure sufficiently
moist The Enclosure is healthful and
comfortable for the animals in winter,
since fresh air, free from drafts, is
provided at all times. -.
In building stack, the sides should
be almost perpendicular, with the top
dipped toward the center When piled
this way the manure will be kept COM
rpact and moist. As manure is re-
moved from the stable it should be
packed firmly on the pile. Manure
from various farm animals should be
mixed to secure the best results

FARM BUREAU EXCHANGE PAYS

$14,435 worth was sold in one month.
Cards were sent out to each member
of the farm bureau, on which each one
listed what he had for sale. These
cards were returned to the. farm btu.
reau, where they were itemized by the
county agent and sent to every farm

members had wide market for their

WHAT FARM ACCOUNTS TO KEEP

Do not try to keep accurate cost ac-
4 counts for all farm operations II you
y are Inexperienced at farm bOokkeep-
u ing, say the farm management men
at Iowa State college. 1t is much bet
4 ter to keep simpler accounts for the
first year or two and then begin by
4 keeping a cost record on just one
crop or one kind Of livestock at first.
The most important account, for a
farmer to keep is the inventory. This
should be taken at the beginning and
end Of the farm year. This will give
more returns fol. the amount of time
spent on it than any other record
which might be kept 1t will tell
whether farming operations for the
year have made or lost money and
how much.
Next, a farmer needs to keep a rec
ord of receipts and expenditures. With
this he can tell how much his labor
income for the year has been above
his interest on money invested in the
business. This record is all the fed
eral income tax report requires. 4
Many farmers make a mistake OF
beginning their cost account by keep
ing tab on the account that pays best.
1t is far better to keep a record of the
one they are leery about. They need
to analyze this doubtful part of the
business and get the facts. There has
been much discussion of hog, profits,
so hogs might be good to try first.
Either January list or March 1st are
good times to begin keeping accounts.
March Is the time for the natural farm
year to begin but the income tax is
levied on the January basis. Then,
too, If the books are closed at the
end of the year, there is time to an
alyze the results before the next sea-
son opens. In general a farm owner
had better begin his year in January
and the tenant In March.

Farm Business Record" prepared by
the farm management men at Ames,
is not being distributed from the col
,lege this year, but by commercial
printers. The address of the firm
handling it may be obtained from the

come requirements and It also in

THRIFTY YANkS STEAL
MARCH ON GOVERNMENT
Find That Fresh Water and Soap
Save Army's Sunken
Cargo.

Fishing shirts, vests, soldiers jer-
er clothing from the oceans bottom
has been the latest kind of work for
the fisher folk at Vineyard Haven,
Mass. But the government has stepped
in and spoiled all the fun and all the
profit is well.
When the steamship Port Hunter,
carrying $4,000, 900 worth IF clothing
to Uncle Sans soldiers overseas, was
wrecked off the Cape it was found that
salvaged clothing rotted two days af-
ter it had been taken from the salt
sea. But the thrifty and ingenious
Yankees here found that by washing
the clothing in fresh water as soon as
it was brought ashore it was as good
as new.
So the fishermen forgot their travis
and lines and each day a small fleet
put to sea equipped with graphing,
hooks on the end of long poles. At
night the feet would sail home laden
with all sorts of clothing. On the
beach, with washtubs filled with fresh
water and soap were the thrifty house
wives. Next morning almost every
sort of a piece of clothing found on
a soldier or in his kit was Tapping
from the clothesline.
Everything was going fine with the
fisher people until a few days ago
when the government at Washington,
which had previously given up the
work of salvage, suddenly came to
the realization that washing with fresh
water prevented the clothing from rot
ting. The war department promptly
issued an order to the headquarters of
the department of the northeast in
Boston in%structing an immediate in
v~estigation of the Port Hunter and the
possibility and ACCESSIBILITY of making
an attempt to salvage the cargo. Mean
while, the army officers were ordered
to stop petty pilfering" of the ships
cargo.
