AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
~ DR.. ANDREW M SOULE

wood ashes Mix these together
thoroughly and then place a part of
the mixture in a shallow box where
the SOW can have ready access to it
at all times The box should be I'M
der a sufficient shelter to keep it
dry. We think you will find that
the SOW will consume considerable
quantities of this material and that
it will probably supply her with min
era1 elements in which the present
ration she is now receiving is defici-
emit. We would also advise that you
feed some other grain while she is
running on peanuts. For this pur-
pose there is nothing better than
some shorts reduced to a slop by
means of skim milk. If you have
no skim milk you may use butter
milk Or any other material which is
available. You might of course use
part milk and part water in order to
make the milk supply go further
Shorts may of course be fed dry,
but this is not as satisfactory way
to feed them as in the manner in
dicated. s-.
If you have been feeding your sow

powders and possibly broken dishes
or glassware, stop this practice at
once. Some of the richer kitchen
Stops such as those containing
grease, waste vegetables and other
materials can be fed to hogs with ad-
vantage. but a good deal of the slop
derived from our kitchen now is not
satisfactory for the purpose indicat-
ed because of the character of soap

Working for More Pastures

The pasture problem in the coastal
plain section of the south must be
solved, says the United States de-
partment of agriculture, in order to
bring about agricultural utilization
of these lands. The problem has be-
come increasingly important since
the high prices of feeds are more
and more forcing attention to the
only cheap feed-pasturage The
bureau of plant industry has recently
done a great deal of work along this
line. The Investigators have con-
firmed the blue-gra ss-pasture expert
ments, in which it was shown that
heavy pasturlng was much the best
method both agronomically and eco
nomically. Unfortunately, say the
specialists, facilities for experiments
and demonstrations are wholly made
quate in attempting to work out a
system of better handling of north
ern pastures. On the coastal plains
Of the south, unless the soils are
much affected by drought, continue
the experts, carpet grass supple
mented with lespedezia makes excel
lent pasture. Golden crown grass
is also excellent. Efforts are being
made, with the aid of a new strip
ping machine, to place carpet grass
seed on the market in adequate guam
tity. Several newly introduced
grasses are promising as pasture pos

BuckWheat Grows Well
Where Other Crops Fail

BuckWheat is in general the best
grain crop for poor thin land. It's
natural and favorite environment is
"back in the hills" On land where
wheat or even rye cannot be grown
with profit buckwheat is often able
to produce a profitable yield. The
climatic conditions, however, must be
favorable.
On acid soils, which are quite COM
mon in the northeastern states, buck
wheat does we'll. 1t does not re-
duire large supplies of lime in the
soil, although lime is taken up large
ly by the plant.
Low-grade fertilizers may be used
to advantage in the growing of buck
wheat, as it can make use of relative
ly insoluble materials to better ad-
vantage than the other grain crops.
1t may be used to render available
insoluble phosphates, like rock phos-
phate, as these are taken up by
the plant in larger quantities than
by other small grains. To obtain
the greatest benefit from such ap-
plications to following crops, the
buckwheat should be grown as a
SUMMER cover crop 10 De proved I'M
der as green manure in prepare ton
for fall seeding.
Buckwheat serves to make even
very hard land mellow and friable.
Consequently it is 4 good crop to use
in preparation for such crops as po-
tatoes.
AS it has a short growing period,
buckWheat can be grown on LAND
where spring-sown crops, such as
corn, have failed to make a stand.
1t cannot be worked until late, or
where other crops have been drown
ed out by late spring floods. .e
BuckWheat cam be used to enlarge
farm activities. After other crops
that must be sown early are all in
there is often time to prepare land
and SOW buckwheat.. On account OIL
the short growing season it may be
SoWn later than any other grain crop.
Where it is so used it often may
, be advisable to SOW it even on rich
land which otherwise could be used
more profitably for other crops.

POULTRY SHOWS HELP TO SPREAD

Hay Cured Before BaIing
Will Keep indefinitely

Baled hay that has been thorough
ly cured in the barn or stack before
bal1ng can be stored indefinitely
without danger of heating, saw sne-
cialists of the U. S. department of
agriculture. 1t may be piled so that
the bales fit very closely together.
Hay baled from the windrow and
cock, however, unless very we'll
cured, is likely to heat more or less
in storage. Sometimes the heating
becomes SO intense that the hay be-
comes severely damaged or even I'M
marketable.
Damage from heating may be
greatly lessened and sometimes en-
tlrely obviated by storing the bales
on edge, allowing an inch or two of
air space between Them When bales
are piled flatWise the air is excluded
and heating is likely to occur, where
as leaving an air space tends to pre-
vent heating by inducing circulation.
which cools the hay. The first lay
er of bales placed in a barn should
be placed on edge and crosswise.
This crosSwise method or "cording"
prevents any of the air spaces in the
tier from being entirely covered and
1nsures ventilation through the en-
tire pile. The heated air works IN
around the edges of the bales and
the cooler air enters from the sides
and bottom
When bales that have been laid flat
on their sides begin to heat it be-
comes necessary to move the bales
and pile them in the manner Just
described. If there are any indica-
lions of heating when the hay is put
into the barn, or if the hay grower
has any doubt about the hay keeping
it is best to pile the bales crosswise
on edge, rather than take any risk
even though this method of storing
wastes more or less storage space
Cases are on record in which hay
growers, usually beginners, have bal
ed hay from the windrow and cock.
and because it spoiled in the NOV.
owing to improper storing, have be-
come convinced that baling from the
field was not a success, not realizing
that the fault lay in the manner in
which the hay was stored.

birds of other breeders, and gets
him in contact with successful poul-
trymen from whom he may learn
many clever points of management
which otherwise would cost long
and costly experience.
Although the fall fairs and poul-
try shows are one of the best SELL
ing mediums for the poultryman
who raises breeding stock, it is
also advisable that he advertise
judiciously in the poultry press as
we'll as in reputable farm papers.
The experiences of prominent breed
ers has been that it is preferable
to run small lads" at regular in
tervals throughout the year rather
thar to insert large advertisements
only occasionally. The psychology
of advertising is peculiar and unique
in that management which pays

Advertising at Home
Poultrymen, the country over, find
1t advantageous to use neat and
attractive roadside signboardS at
their farm gates, which announce
the breeding and number of fowl
they have to offer, as we'll as the
price. if desired. These signboards
may be made in the form of in
closed cases so that the sales
sheets may be changed frequently.
Some owners paint the name of
their farm and the breed of poul-
try which they keep on the roof
OF q shed or barn, where it is con-
spicuous from the country highway,
while others place similar infor-
nation on the water tower or near
the top of a silo. They aim to at
tract the attention of the passers-
by. and in one way or another leave
him a lasting impression concern
ing their farm and poultry offerings.
y California barred rock breeder
painted all the fence posts on his
farm with alternate stripes of
%ested barred rock fowl. These fence
posts were his trademark and the
passers-by usually associated these

was maintained on this farm. This
unique scheme was credited with
many profitable sales.
