Farm Labor Efficiency.

Are the man-labor requirements OF
the productive enterprises of the farm
as organized sufficient to make the
best utilization of the time of the
regular men necessary to operate
the farm?
eff on a given farm we find the
number of days necessary to do the
contract and miscellaneous day wage
work and subtract the amount from
the total number of days work re-
quired by all the productive enter
prises, the remainder will be the num-
ber of productive days work requir-
ed of the regular men of the farm.
"If we divide this number of pro-
ductive days work required of the
regular men of the farm by the num-
ber of days available for field work at
their command, we will get number
expressing the percentage of eff
cheney with which their time has
been utilized.
'For example, a group of five best
farms has an average of AS regular
men per farm. These men had a
total of 1,O16 days available for field
work. There was a total of 1,1S4
days work required by the produc-
tive enterprises. OF these, 512 were
cared for by contract and miscel
laneous hired and family labor, leav-
ing 617 days for the regular men.
This means 212 days available per
regular man, of which 14O days, or
6S per cent, were required for and
utilized on productive enterprises.
This is the system used by farm
specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
arriving at the percentage of efficien-
cy attained in the use of man labor.

Garden Seeds Cheaper.

Indication that there is a plentiful
supply of garden seeds this spring,
with the possible exception OF certain
varieties of peas, is contained in re-
ports received by the Bureau of Mar
kets, United States Department of
Agriculture. from representative seed
dealers engaged in whole sale. retail,
and mail-order business. Study of
several mail-order catalogues indi-
Gates that in the majocity of cases
the prices of seeds are less than for
the past two years, the greatest re-
duction being for cabbage seed.
Marked reductions are also shown in
the prices for garden beet, carrot,
onion, spinach, and English and Swe-
dish turnip seed. An increase of
about is per cent is noted in the
prices for garden peas, while similar
increases are shown for muskmelon,
summer and winter squash, and to-
mato seed This condition should
prove favorable TO extensive garden
planting, which is urged by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Replies to inquiries addressed to
representative seed dealers showed
that a few in Industrial centers, par
ticularly in the East, were selling
from 10 to 80 per cent less than last
year. The cause, apparently, was the
shortage of labor on truck farms.
Compared with normal conditions be-
fore the war, the reduction in these
eastern centers ranges from 10 to
As per cent.
On the whole the sales to home
gardeners seem to be larger than
those of last year, ranging from 5
per cent increase in some sections to
SO per cent in others. Dealers in
the most nOrtherly cities were unable
TO report adequately because the sea-
son had not advanced sufficiently at
the time replies were sent in.

Mich cows are kept practically on all
farms. The average farm family
uses annually about 2,6Oe quarts Of
milk in the form of milk, butter,
cheese, or cream.
In diary regions where milk is
shipped or sold to creameries or
cheese factories. practically all the
butter and cheese used is bought in.
stead of made on the farm. Very
few farmers buy whole milk. About
four-fifths of the dairy products con-
sumed by farmers are produced on
the home farm.
In the South dairy products are
used very freely. The common prac-
tice is to churn the whole milk for
butter, producing a large quantity
of buttermilk. The average annual
consumption of butter per family is
about $50 pounds in the South while
for families in the North and West
IL is less than 15O pounds. 1t is not
unusual for the average-sized fam
lily in the South to consume 1000
quarts of buttermilk year. Butter
milk is cooling and healthful drink
for that climate.

FARM DEPARTMENT.

clearing of lands and other causes
have already reduced it very greatly
and, some time in the remote future
there may be no periodical cicadas
One of the destructive influences is
unfavorable weather, though the
broods emerge so late in the spring
that they do not often encounter
freezing. There is, however, at least
one notable exception. Brood No. 10
of the 13-year race has encountered
freezing weather in Tennessee during
two successive appearances. In the
middle Tennessee counties in 1894
brood No. 10 appeared in appalling
numbers. Freezing weather came
about the middle of May and, in many
areas, the ground was almost cover
ed with dead cicadas. Most of them
had not begun laying. When the
brood reappeared in 1907, it's num-
bers in that region were tremendous
ly diminished but, under favorable
conditions, it would have reestablish-
ed itself. But again, around the mid
die of May, freezing weather prevail
ed in middle Tennessee. Brood No.
10 was again frozen before it COM
pleted it's life cycle. These are the
only times on record that freezing
has occurred so late in that region.
By these two successive freezes, 19
years apart, it is believed by specia-
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture that the brood may
have been exterminated over large
part OF the territory it originally oc-.
cupied in Tennessee. To determine
exactly what the effect has been, the
bureau will get reports from that
section this spring from men who
watched the brood there in 1894,
the year it was first frozen. Obser-
vations will be made at points where
the brood developed in countless
numbers that year. Brood No. 10
is the largest of the 13-year broods
1t has been studied during each of
it's appearances since 1903 and a COM
plete history of it is kept among the
records of the Bureau of Entomology,
Department of Agriculture.

Test Eggs Twice During Period of
Incubation.

All eggs should be tested at least
twice during the period of incubation,
on about the seventh and fourteenth
days, and the infert ie eggs and those
containing dead germs removed, say
poultry experts of the United States
Department of Agriculture. While
eggs can De tested Oh The fourth or
! fifth day, but the development in eggs
having brown shells often can not be
seen by the use of an ordinary egg
tester until the seventh day.
Eggs Containing dead gems sooI
decay and give off bad odor if al
lowed to remain in an incubator
Most incubator companies furnish
with their machines testing chimneys
which will fit the incubator lamps.
Electric or gas lamps may be used
in box with hole slightly smaller
than an egg cut in the side of the
box and at the same level as the
light.
A good homemade egg tester or
candler can be made from a large
shoe box, or any box that is large
enough to go over a lamp. 1t is
made by removing the end of the box
and cutting a hole a little larger
than a quarter in the bottom. When
II is set over a kerosene lamp, the
hole in the bottom should be opposite
the blaze. The lamp chimney should
project through the other end of the
box or large enough hole be cut to
prevent the box from burning.
The eggs are tested with the large
end up, so that the size of the air
cell as well as the condition of the
embryo may be seen. The testing
should take place in a dark room.
The infertile egg, when held before
the small hole with the lamp lighted
inside the box, will look perfectly
clear, the same as fresh one, while
a fertile egg will show a small dark
spot, known as the embryo, with
mass of little blood veins extending
in all directions, if the embryo is liv-
ing. If the embryo Is dead the blood

Make Every Farm Feed Its Stock.

Make Every Farm Feed Its Stock.
The production of enough feed fol
its family live stock, work stock, and
commercial live stock is second in
importance only to producing food
for the family, is the opinion of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Farm management studies in
the Southern States indicate that the
most profitable farms not only pro-
duce the necessary farm feeds but
have a surplus of them to sell, and
that the live stock is usually of bet
ter quality and better grade on the
farms producing a surplus than on
farms where staple feeds are bought.
These facts are brought out in
series of 16 tests formulated by the
Department of Agriculture to show
whether or not a farm is being eff
ficiently managed.
The average farm family, made up
of five adult persons or their equiva
lent, requires for its proper nlainten.
ance 2 cows, 40 fowls for furnishing
eggs and poultry meat, and pig for
each adult person or his equivalent.
Enough calves should be raised to re-
place each COW reaching the age of
5 years. This family live stock, it is
calculated, will require 1 ton of corn
and cob meal, 1924 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, SO bushels of corn,
40 bushels of oats, 4,20O pounds of
eowpea hay, 2,1OO pounds of oat hay,
4,2O0 pounds of corn roughage, green
forage from 2 acres, and 3 acres of
pasture or their equivalent. A fair
provision to a head for work stock is
80 bushels of corn, 40 bushels of
oats, and 3 tons of roughage. The
arrangement of crops ana pastlrage
to meet these requirements are sug-
gested in United States Department

Auto-intoxication can be best
ascribed to our own neglect or
carelessness. When the organs fail
in the discharge of their duties,
the putrefactive germs set in and
generate toxins-actual poisons,
which fill ones own body.
Sleepiness after meals, flushing
OF the face, extreme lassitude, bill
iousness, dizziness, sick headache,
acidity of the stomach, heartburn,
offensive breath, anemia, loss of
weight and muscular power, de-

Family and Farm Supplies.

Is the farm producing such of the
family foods as are adapted to local
conditions in ample quantities for the
welfare of the family?
The value of the family living fur
nished directly from the farm is one
of the important factors determining
the amount of the income of the farm
and the degree to which the farm bu-
siness is safe and profita BILE, says the
United States Department OF hgricul
ture. This is especially true Of the
smaller farms.
The garden and live stock which
supply the larger part of the family
food are usually cared for at times
that interfere comparatively little
with the regular farm commercial en-
terprises, and by labor which other
wise would not be utilized. Further,
it has been found that, up to a con-
siderable size of farm business, when
the family food is produced on the
farm, this item, plus the fuel and
shelter furnished by the farm,
to an equivalent of the rent
for the entire farm or interest on the
whole farm investment.

Ready for The Hession Fly

1t is likely that more will be learn
ed this year about the Hessian fly
than in any year since Gen. Howe's
hired Hessians are supposed to have
brought the pest to Long Island dur
ing the Revolution. There have been
numerous destructive outbreaks of
the Hessian fly and a great deal has
been found out about it, but nobody
was in position to do the job properly.
Another outbreak Is likely this spring
and the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture is ready for it,
Two years ago the appropriation
for Hessian fly work was increased
sufficiently to provide for the princi-
pal needs. Shortly afterwards the
Bureau of Entomology established
three stations for the purpose of sys-
tematic study. They are at Carlisle,
Pa, Centralia. ILL.,, and Wichita, Kan.
Each station is equipped with a full
set of weather instruments, and sew
tIdl ItduluSS are ldhtH tdC0 udl
throughout the year. Sowings have
been made at various dates for sew
eral years to determine the fly-free
period for each year. Experiments
have been conductd with many varie-
ties of wheat to determine their fly
resisting qualities. Exhaustive in
vestigations are under way on para
sites of the Hessian fly. The main
presence or absence of any particular
object is to determine what effect the
parasite has on periodical outbreaks
of the fly.
When the last great outbreak came
five or six years ago no such complete
preparation for study had been made.
If the threatening one materializes
this spring the preparation that has
been made should result in a num-
ber of important studies.
