lowing cases are typical:
Farmers in Rockbridge county, Vir-
ginia, who have timber on their own
farms have been little affected by high
lumber prices. and have been able to
make the necessary repairs and inn
provements, while their neighborS
whose home woodlands failed to af-
ford the needed supplies Of timber
have been obliged to cease or greatly
curtail Improvements requiring much
lumber. These farms are suffering
from depreciation in value. In Cali
fornia, where the agricultural pros
perity has been marked for the past
three years, many ranchers are now
making only such repairs and i'm
provements as are absolutely neces-
sary. This is owing to the high prices,
limited supply, and poor quality of
available lumber. These and many
other instances are cited in the re-
port which the forest service has pre-
pared on the condition of the forestry
resources of the country in response
to resolution passed by the United

CARELESS POISONING COSTLY
Frequent Reports Made Of Animals
Gaining Access to Paint Boxes
and Other Containers.

The danger of animals becoming
poisoned through the careless use of
poison material when spraying or bait
ing for insects, is pointed out by Off
Gals at the Ohio Experimental sta
ton, Wooster.
Every year reports are sent in OF
animals suddenly dying from securing
access to paint boxes and poison con-
tainers
Sometimes paris green boxes, white
lead or arsenate of lead containers are
thrown into the trash pile or dump and
animals get the poison from these.
Paint boxes. even though thinly
coated, are licked by cattle because of

Such boxes should be thoroughly

KEEPING HOGS IN CONDITION
Mixture of Charcoal, Salt, Air-Siaked
Lime, Wood Ashes and copperas
Is Favored.

For hogs running out the following
preparation helps to keep them in
good condition: Take Of charcoal
three bushels; of salt eight pounds; of
air-slaked lime two quarts; of wood
ashes one bushel; dissolve one pound
of copperas in hot water, sprinkle
with the solution the mixture of the
other things; mix all up thoroughly
and put the mixture in the feed boxes
and set them where the hogs will have
free access to them. Every farmer
should have self-feeding boxes or
racks, so that the stock can only get
the needed supply and not waste it
nor get too heavy supply at one time.

RED GLOVER ON DAIRY FARM
Little Excuse for Permitting Soil to
Become Nomenclature Adds
Needed Humus.

The roots of red clover penetrate the
soil to a depth of five or six feet and
bring up valuable fertilizing elements,
hence the soil that has become worn
out for clover production is in pretty
bad condition. On the dairy farm,
there is little need for this condition
TO come about. The application of
barnyard manure adds the necessary
halmus and if occasional lining is nee
cssary, it should be done. Insects and
fungus diseases occasionally play a
considerable part In the decline of
clover.

Farmers So Busy in Late Summer

The close of the Matching season in
late summer will find many people so
busy that they are apt TO neglect the
incubator and not give it the attention
that it deserves before being put away
until next season. Proper care of the
incubator will prolong its period of
usefulness just as surely as it is profit

Where Abundance Of Grain Is Fur.

Much on Pasture.

Where too much grain is fed the
hogs satisfy their appetites on grain
and will not eat as much pasture as
they should. For that reason under
present conditions, when grain prices
are high and pork prices compare
lively low, it is advisable to limit the
grain ration to two pounds or less.
