AUTUMN is CLEARING
time FOR FARM LAND
Convert All Waste Places Into
Revenue Producers.
Goats, Sheep or Cattle Are Favored In
Order Named for Keeping Down
Sprout Growth-Methods
for Removing Stumps.

The fair-weather days of the autumn
afford the farmer an opportunity to
undertake the clearing of land for
which he has no time in the busy
summer months, and which can not be
done while the land Is wet in the
spring. On thousands of farms there
are cut-over tracts which should be
converted into revenue producers as
soon as possible. If the owner de-
cides that the land in question is bet
ter suited to crop production than to
forest growth, careful study of the
most economical method of removing
stumps and small growth should be
made. Most cut-over land passes
through three stages before reaching
It's greatest agricultural value. The
waste and small growth is disposed Of
first, then it is allowed to remain In
stumps for a few seasons, until the
smaller stumps are dead and decayed,
during which time it is used for pas
ture or may be cultivated. Finally,
all the stumps are removed.
Generally 1t is best to cut brush as
close as possible to the ground and
avoid leaving sharp points that might
injure stock. However, if the wood is
of no value and the ground is not to
be cultivated before the stumps are
removed, it may be best to cut the
trees rather high above the ground. II
the stumps are left three feet high
there will be less sprouting than If cut
low down, and such stumps are more
easily pulled.
The most successful method of keep
ing down sprout growth is by heavy
pasturlng by goats, sheep, or cattle, In
the order named. Any sprouts not
killed by pasturing should be cut or
knocked off with the head of an ak.
There are q great variety of meth
ods gsed in removing stumps, by
means of burning pullers and dyna-
mite. Farmers Bulletin 974. "Clearing
Land" prepared by the United States
department Of agriculture, contains In
formation designed especially for per-
sons interested in this subject. Al copy

related below by Mrs. Geo. L. North
of Naples, N. Y. that proves the
worth of Chamberlain's Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy. "Two years ago

had dysentary. At that time we were
living in the country eight miles
from a doctor. Our son was taken i'll
suddenly and was about the sickest
child 1 ever saw. He was in terrible
pain all the time and passed from one
convulsion into another. l sent my
husband for the doctor and after he
was gone thought of a bottle Of

improved highways in the United
States recently said:
1--WE have had great object les
son of the value Of good roads in the
paved highways Of my own state
California. They have been great
factor in the development Of the state,
opening up regions which hitherto
were inaccessible and adding to the
prosperity of all. The improvement
of the nations highways will be Of
great Economic value to the country
as a whole, relieving the congestion
which now exists on other transporta-
tion facilities and making distribution
of the nations commodities easier and
cheaper. The good roads movement
meets with my warmest approval"

TUBERCULOSIS RAvAGEs BIG
information Shows That 5s,547 Car
casses of Cattle Were Condemned
on Inspection. ~

tuberculosis was responsible for the
condemnation of more cattle, slaugh-'
tered under federal meat inspection
last year, than all other diseases COM
bined. Information from the bureau
of animal industry, United States de
partment of agriculture, shows that
59,547 carcasses of cattle were con-
demned on post-morten inspection and
of that number $1,000 were the result
of tuberculosis. In addition 53,652
parts of cattle carcasses were con-
demned for the same cause.
The bureau points out that tuber-
culosis in cattle and hog cholera in
swine are the two most serious con-
taglous diseases affecting meat ani-
mails, and there is evidence that a
heavy loss occurs on farms in addition
to condemnations at establishments
where government inspection is main
tanned. The department Of agricul-
ture is prepared to give information
on the best methods Of reducing the
losses.

HIGH-cLAss HORSES NEEDED
No Provision Made for Future by
Many Farmers Who Are Using

The thing most needed in the pro-
duction of work horses for American
farms Is greater care in the selection
of the stallion and the brood mare.
say animal hushandry experts of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who have been studying the pres
ent situation with respect TO horses.
Not only was there net decrease Of
approximately $4,000 in the number
OF horses on farms on January 1, COM
pared with year ago, but the experts
are of the opinion that there has been
an even more marked decrease in the
number of mares bred during 1919.
The extent of this decrease cannot be
accurately determined until the colt
crop of 1920 is estimated. However,
If the decline in breeding is as great
as conditions now indicate, the coun-

MORE HOGS WERE IMMUNIzED
Chief Purpose of Inspection Is to Per-
NIT Reshiphnent to Farms and
Feed Yards.

An outstanding feature of federal
activities for the control of hog chol-
era during the last year was the great
increase in the number Of swine i'm
munized so that they might be dis
tributed from public stockyards for
purposes other than slaughter. The
last report of the bureau of animal
industry, United States department Of
agriculture, gives the number of feed
hogs immunized as 614,673. This is
large increase over the preceding
year. The chief purpose Of the, in
spection and incubation is to permit
reshipment to farms and feeding
yards for further growth or fattening
without danger to herds in which they
are introduced.

strain. A flock average of $50 to 160
eggs a year is excellent production.
Of course there are exceptional indi-
viduals in every flock. Approximate
ly ten per cent Of the White Leghorn
pullets on the University of Missouri
poultry farm show trapnest record
of more than 200 eggs year. 1t is
this small proportion Of the flock that
is used in pedigree breeding. Cocker
els from this selected number are the
ones that are believed to transmit the
character of high egg production. If
the farmer buys cockerel without Sc
curing a trapnest record Of its moth
er's pullet-year production he has
no means whatever Of knowing wheth-
or the bird can transmit the ability
for a 30-egg production during the
winter season, in other words, 200
egg daughters, or whether he will
transmit an ability for producing no
eggs at all during the winter season
when eggs are highest in price. A
trapnest record which shows that the
mother Of the cockerel has laid 80
eggs from November to March inclu-
sive should always be insisted upon
when purchasing new male birds for
breeding. To buy on any other basis
is a very uncertain procedure, and
the chances are less than half fer in
creasing, even in small degree, the
general flock average.

AdvantageousIy Now Than
Later in Season.
SEEK HIGH EGG PRODUCTION
Flock Average of $50 to 16o Eggs a
Year is ExcelIent-Trapnest Rec
ord of Mother Should Al
ways Be Insisted On.

Progressive poultrymen are already
looking forward to the mating of their
iocks next spring. Cockerels which
have been hatched this spring are
now available for sale on many farms
for breeders. They may be bought
more cheaply now than they can he
late this fall. A breeding male that
will command from So to $40 in No
vember may be purchased now for
about So.
Head Of Breeding Flock.
In purchasing cockerels one should
insist that an exact pedigree be given
on delivery of the bird, says o. w.
Harvey of the University of Missouri
college of agriculture. 1t is believed
that the male bird Is more important
than the female in transmitting the
character of high egg production. Not
all male birds transmit the character.
Ordinarily, hen which lays 30 eggs
or more during the winter season OF
November, December, January and
February, will lay approximately 2oo
eggs year. OF course, some environ
mental factor, such as a late spring,
which We have been having this year,
may affect the summer laying cycle,
and thus reduce the production of the
hen to figure below 200, even though
the winter cycle has been 80 eggs Or
more. The fact remains, neverthe-
less that with our present knowledge
of breeding poultry for egg production
cockerels from hens that have exhib-
tied this 30-egg production during the
winter laying cycle are the ones to
buy to head the breeding flock.
Secure Trapnest Record.
It is but small proportion Of the
flock that lays 200 eggs or more dur
ing the year. The day Of the 2OO-egg
flock has not yet been attained. Poul-
trymen must not be misled by adver-
tisements that have been appearing in
the poultry papers by large fanciers
offering birds for sale which have ex-
ceptional fancy points and at the same
time are claimed to be from 2O0-egg

SOME ESSENTIALS FOR PIGS
Important That Porkers Be Provided
With Shade, Fresh Water and
A. Abundant Pasture.

This is the season of the year when
pigs should have lots of good water,
shade and pasture, says R. W. Clark,
of the Colorado Agricultural College.
The farmer who does not provide
these things need not blame the pack
ers next fall when he sells his pork
ers.
The way some farmers handle their
pigs during the growing season they
would need dollar pound to break

try will be confronted with seriously
depleted supply of good horses within
the next few years.
Many farmers are using up their
work stock without making any pro-
vision for the future. Such policy
is short-sighted and will have serious
results, according to department Of
agriculture representatives. The pres
ent need is to increase the percentage
of efficient horses by careful selection
of parents. One Of the principal fac
tors from which the market is suffer-
ing is the breeding Of too many low
grade work animals. There Is strong
demand for high-class horses, at good
prices, the department says.
