AVOID HOG CHOLERA GERMS
Houses and Lots Should 30 Arranged
SO That They May 30 Cleaned
and Dlsinfected Easily.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Among the suggestions made by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture to minimize the danger of in
Producing hog cholera germs are the
following:
Hog houses, lots. and pastures
should be located away from streams
and public highways. and the houses
and lots should be arranged 80 that
they may be cleaned and disinfected
readily. They should be exposed as far
as possible to sunlight. which Is the
cheapest and one Of the best disin-
fectants. Hog lots should not be used
for yarding wagons and farm imple-
ments and should not be entered with
team and wagon, particularly when
loading stock for shipment to market.
As further precaution no one should
be allowed to enter hog lots unless
there Is assurance that he does not
carry infection. Farmers and their
help should disinfect their shoes be-
fore entering hog lots after returning
from public yards. sales. and neigh
boring farms.

PRACTICAL PLAN TO
MEET HAY SHORTAGE
Utilization Of Sugar Beet BY.
Products Is Recommended.
Tops Placed In Pit siIo viii Furnish
Warm, Appetizino Feed Through
out Winter for Beef or Dairy
Cattle and Sheep.

Prepafed by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuiture.)
A very practical way of meeting the
present hay shortage is through the
use of beet-top sllage, 80 pounds Of
which per day per steer will reduce the
animals hay requirements by one-half.
That three pounds Of beet-top silage
per day per head of sheep will reduce
the hay requirements fully one-half
is the experience of many feeders who
have tried out the newer way of utiliz.
ing sugar beet by-products.
On many fields as much as five tons
per acre Of silage can be had, when
the tops are promptly gathered and
put into piles, Immediately after the
beets are topped. This prevents scat
tering and waste. The farmer, after
gathering the tops. should pile them In
a pit silo. packing them down firmly,
and sealing them over with fresh beet
pulp or earth. A satisfactory silo
may be made by scooping out hole
of suitable size and lining the sides
and bottom with straw before filling.
After 80 days, on opening the pit
fine quality of warm, succulent feed
will be available. The silage has a
value equal to about one-half the value
Of hay. The feed should be collected
handy to the feeding yards. The silage
comes out of the pit in warm. appetite
ing condition all through the winter
feeding period. In fact. some growers
hold a part of the silage for summer
feeding to supplement the short-grass
season when pastures are suffering for
lack of moisture.
The siIage is good for beef or dairy
cattle and also for sheep. When fed
in regulated amounts, excellent re-
suits are had. Much larger values
are had from beet tops when sliced
and fed as blended ration than when
grazed off the field in the usual way.
Saving one-half Of the hay crop is
big item this season where a hay
shortage exists.

Artificial Scents.

The great bulk Of perfumes are
chemical productions. The Wall Street
Journal says the commercial problem
is whether the American perfumer Of
the future is to be an artisan or an
artist. Shall he deal with the fragrance
Of flowers or chemical Odors and
scents? The idea of the layman Is
that the cosmetic chemist seeks the
odOr Of flowers; but as a matter of
fact synthetic chemistry not only
crowns his work with the crushed oil
of roses. violets and jessamine, but
seeks to rival the fragrance of flowers
with superior scents originating wholly
within the laboratory and trade
marked as such.

to advantage, while In unfavorable
ones seeding may have to be delayed
until early May.
Varieties Of Oats to Sow.
Throughout the northern states mid
seasOn-maturing varieties, such as
Swedish Select, Silvermine, Banner
and Victory usually outyield other va
rieties. In average yield the large,
late (side oat) varieties rarely surpass
the midseason type in this section. In
unfavorable seasons, however, early
varieties, such as Kherson and Sixty
day. frequently outyield the midseason
varieties. In the corn belt early va
rieties as rule produce the most sat
isfactory yields. For the northern por
tion Of this section strains Of the
Kherson and Sixty.day type are to be
recommended, while in the southern
portion Red Rustproof, an early red
oat, Is the most dependable. For
growing under irrigation at high ele-
vations midseason varieties of the
Swedish Select and Silvermine types
are the most suitable.
Seeded for Oats.
Prepare a good seeded for oats.
The old idea that oats will produce
well on poor seeded has persisted
too long. This crop responds as well
to thorough seeded preparation as
any other cereal. Do not pillow land
that was In cultivated crop last year.
but disk and harrow sufficiently to
make a loose. friable surface seeded
two or three inches deep. AS oats re-
quire fairly Arm seeded below the
two or three inches Of top soil, spring
blowing Is not desirable, there not be-
ing sufficient time for the soil to settle
before sowing. Disking also Is less ex-
pensive than blowing. OF course If a
heavy growth Of weeds Is present in
the cultivated crop 1t will be necessary
to pillow the land, in which case the
seeded should be rolled or dragged
and worked down as much as possible.
Seed and Sowing.
Sow the best seed oats obtainable.
Usually seed grown in the region
where It is to be sown Is better than
that brought from some other section.
Thoroughly fan and grade your seed
and then treat It for smut. The larg-
est yields are obtained by use of q
| coed grain drill. Drilling requirts less
| seed. insures more even distribution
| a more uniform covering and c0nse.
quietly quicker and more uniform ger
mination. Under humid conditions the
best amount Of seed to use on a well

peeks to the acre. If 1t Is necessary

seeded use about twelve pecks. I'm
der dry-land conditions these rates o.
seeding are usually reduced about one
half. from four to six pecks usual,
