DO AWAY WITH WEEDS
PROPER CULTIVATION
is CHIEF REQUISITE
Various Conditions Make Different
Methods Necessary But Care And
ThorOness Will Make II Possible

No weeds to burn. The annual pro-
cedure of tearing the weeds away
from the fences and out Of the bitches
can be dispensed with. Sounds good,
and is possible with care and thorough
methods.
Grow some crop on every corner in
the cultivated fields. If the field is
not in cultivation then keep it well
pastured, spend day discing all the
places where weeds grow when they
are two or three weeks old. Don't let
them become mature and scatter seeds.
These suggestions come from Bruce
Cameron of the Colorado Agricultural
College.
Cut all weeds away from the ditch
banks and fences at the time when the
first cutting of alfalfa is ready to cut.
That is the middle Of June.
If the weeds are in the neil where
crops are to be grown then different
methods must be used The weeds
most common are Russian thistle,
horse weed, wild mustard. and Wild
oats. The best way to eradicate them
is to plant the field to some perennial
corp as alfalfa or clover, then tne
weeds will be cut every year peiore
they are mature and il the ditch Danns =,

method is to plow the ground early m

FARMERS SHOULD BUILD sILos

Lexington, Kentucky, June IL. 1920
Owing TO the fact that much OF
this years corn crop will be planted
late, farmers should figure on how To
take care Of this crop. II the fall
Is late. the crop will mature all
right; but if we should happen TO
have an early fall the man who has
a silo that can be filled, can take
care of his corn 10 the best advan-
tage. As means of building up the
fertility of the soil the feeding Of
livestock and dairying represent the
best methods, and in order TO sue
oessfully handle these lines of farm
ing. the silo becomes Of great value.
!, is rather singular that the farm
income from states having a large
of silos is higher than the
farm income from Kentucky.

MAKE YOUR GARDEN WORK

The farmers garden should be
the richest piece Of land on the
farm, as it is called on to produce
more than any other piece of land
This heavy production can only
be secured by having a succession
planting Of crops; that is, as soon
as one crop is matured, plant
another one in its place; or very
often the second crop can be planted
between the rows Of the first crop.
Brets can be planted between rows

in their paintings by the wet con-
dition Of the soil. We can largely
overcome this backwardness by Civ
ing our crop just the best possible

Frequent shallow cultivation TO keep

The killing Of weeds is the most

corn. Weeds rot The corn Of the

The first cultivation is sometimes
eiven by going over the whole field
soon after planting with a light
spike-tooth harrow. n the harrow
is light and the teeth are set TO
slant slightly backward, this method
can be safely used on plants three
or four inches in height. The adj
vantage Of narrowing the whole
field is that il kills the young weeds
in the rows as well as out of the
rows and il also leaves the ground
level. Later, cultivation should be
shallow and preferably should be
done with a cultivator which has
many small teeth or shovels. Don't
Use the old-fashioned double-shovel
or bull-tongue pillow unless absolute
~ necessary, as these tend TO injure
the crop by cutting Off many OF the
feeding roots and also by causing
q eater evaporation Of water from
the soil by leaving the ground with
deep burrows or ridges. The five
tooth or similar type Of harrow will
do more effective work and will
leave the ground more level. The |
old-fashioned method of deep TIL

need air, water or sleep. Butter and
cream abound in vitamines, so the
first items in the diet Of the kinder
garten child should be milk, butter
and cream.
In addition 10 the mineral salts
and vitamines, milk contains an
ideal combination Of the fats which
supply heat for the little human
house; the sugar which provides
energy fuel for its engine, and the
protcins which furnish building
material for the additions and ex-
tensions constantly in course OF
construction.
A quart Of milk a day is the ideal
ration. no matter what other food
is eaten. Less than a pint should
moi be allowed, save in those rare
instances where a child is pro-
nounced by a competent medical
authority TO have an antipathy 10

In order that this vital function

Not all fruits can be given 10
children Of this age. Bananas
should be sparingly used, because
they are picked green and ripened
by artificial heat Therefore. they
do not contain the food elements
found in bananas that ripen on trees
And the fat Of the banana is rather
hard for the system Of the child
OF this age TO assimilate.
Apples, too. must not be given
unless they are ripe-then. perhaps.
an apple day is the limit. Orange
juice and grapefruit juice and the
juice Of lemons may be given freely.

FEEDING THE CHILD

are feeding your child, and I will
tell you what sort of a man or wo-
man that child will be-"
For modern science has demon
slrated that proper feeding Of chill
dren at the Kindergarten age deter
mines many Of the physical and
mental traits that help or handicap
throughout life.
The United states Children's Blu
rcau says more than five million
American boys end girls now are
suffering from malnutrition. A ma
tion-wide investigation conducted by
this Government agency has shown
that this vast army OF tomorrow's
citizens is variously afflicted with
physical defects and ailments, due
chiefly TO wrong feeding.
Malnutrition is the blight which
today is menacing the most valuable
crop this country raises, or ever can
rcise-its crop Of well-fed boys and
girls. If they are well fed, they will
he healthy and, in turn, become
physically flt men and women with
capable minds and clean souls, as
well as efficient bodies. without
mothers and fathers OF this sort,
our country cannot progress as IL
should. in order TO develop IFS ideals
and set a standard for other nations
The only road TO such human assets
is through the child. Do you know
that this road is now blocked by
malnutrition
Is this wrong feeding due 10 any
lack Of love on the part OF the
parents? Merely 10 ask the ques-
tion is TO answer il in the negative.
II is due to lack OF knowledge; lack
OF guidance.
There is hardly a mother who
wouldn't gladly give her child the

That is why this article on how
to feed the child OF to 6 is written.

To MEMBERS OF AGRICULTURAL
CLUB RAISING PIGS:
Pasture for the Pig


Pasture is one Of the most i'm
portant factors in pork production
One should not attempt to raise hogs
without making provision for keep
ing them on good pasture. II is
very necessary, If your pig is to
make rapid and profitable gains,
that you keep it on good pasture
of some kind all the time. Gains in
weight, when a pig is on good pas
ture, cost only one-half TO two
thirds as much per pound as when
no pasture is provided. The le-
gumes such as alfalfa, red and
white clover, sweet clover, etc. are
excellent pastures for hogs. Blue
grass also is very good.
The legume pasture plants supply
the pig with large amount of pro-
tein. You will remember that this
food material was discussed in the
last letter Blue grass in the spring
and early summer and again in the
fall contains a large amount of this
growth-producing material pro-
tein, and is practically as good for
pasture at these times as the le-
gumes. On the contrary, however,
in the middle of the summer the
proportion of protein is small. Con-
scquently, if your pig is on blue
grass pasture, it is necessary TO use
more of some concentrated protein
feed, such as tankage, middlings,
soy bean meal, etc. For example,
fcO pounds of crushed shelled corn
and II pounds of tankage is a good
mixture for pigs on blue grass in
midsummer while 5 TO pounds of
tankage mixed with 100 pounds of
crushed shelled corn would be su-
fEcient if the pigs were on a good
legume pasture.
Mineral Matter for the Pig
To make good bone development
possible, and this is very necessary,
the pig must have plenty of mineral
matter in the ration. Certain feeds,
such as tankage, skim-milk, clover
and alfalfa, contain a large percent
of mineral matter. Corn contains
very little. Regardless of the kinds
Of feed being used, however, it is
ar excellent plan TO keep supply
of some mineral mixture in trough
or box where your pig can help it.
self at any time. A mixture Of the
following materials is good for this
purpose:
2 bushels slack coal or charcoal
! bushel wood ashes
2 quarts slaked lime
2 pounds salt
4 pounds sulfur
Don't forget that your pig needs
a great deal of cool fresh water
these hot days. A pig is just like
boy or girl in this respect. If there
is no good natural water supply
in the pasture or lot where your pig
is running, you should put fresh
water in a trough for it at least .
three times a day. Besure, too, that |
there is plenty of shade in the pas
ture. A pig would get very hot
lying out in the sun all day, and as
consequence, would not grow so
we'll and you might lose him.
Be sure TO keep an accurate &C
count in your record book Of the .
kind and amount Of feed that your
pig eats.
