R0TTED MANURE PREFERABLE
by Organic Matter Being
Broken Down.

Manure loses much Of its plant food
In the process Of rotting. It's mechan-
ical condition, however, is much I'M
proved, because there is great deal
Of the coarse organic matter broken
down. Much Of this will be lost
through decay, and the percentage of
mineral plant food remaining may be
greater per ton Of manure in the rot
ted than In the fresh condition. These
facts make rotted manure preferable
for truck crops where quick results
are desired and where a large amount
of manure is used. says +. L. Duley Of
the University of Missouri college OF
agriculture. Too heavy applications
of fresh manure may often burn
plants, especially during dry seasons.
The coarse organic material keeps the
Soil open and reduces Its capacity to
retain moisture. However, there Is
too much loss of plant food in rotting
and It is advisable to apply manure
as soon as possible.

PRODUCTION OF
SORGHUM URGED
Keen Demand for Sugar Substi-
tutes Favors Growth of Crop
in Every State.
YIELD STEADILY INCREASING
Inquiries Still Greater Than Supply
Despite High Prices Which Range
From 80 Cents to $1.50 Per
Gallon-Two Varieties.

A marked increase In the production
OF sorghum strip Is indicated by re-
ports received by the United States
department Of agriculture, which has
been engaged In a special campaign
to induce greater production of this
crop because OF the keen demand for
sugar substitutes.
Yield Has Increased.
At the beginning of the world war
the annual yield of sorghum strip In
the United States was approximately
100000 gallons. This has increased
steadily until for the past year 1t was
approximately 30,0OO,0OO gallons. The
average yield Of strip per acre has
been about 100 gallons, but the fact
that this figure can be increased is
indicated by the departments expert
ments, in which more than 400 gallons
per acre have been produced in some
localities.
In urging increased paintings to sor-
ghum the departments experts point
out that despite the increasing yields
the demand is still greater than the
supply. as shown by the price for strip,

fiocks from 40 to 90 per cent are
often found to be poor layers.
Only a little practice is required be-
fore a person can readily distinguish
between a good laying hen and poor
one. County and home demonstra-
ton agents give this information by
means Of demonstrations and the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has published a circular which
tells how to Gull.
Feeding is one OF the most important
factors in egg production. On poor ra-
lions hens will live and even keep In
fair health; but well-balanced, palat-
able feeds are necessary to get good
egg production. The additional cost of
good ration compared with poor
ration is repaid many times by the
extra eggs obtained. AS a rule the
simplest feed mixtures, composed Of
home grown grains and their by-prod-
ucts, supplemented by sweet or sour
milk or some animal feed rich In pro-
TEN. such as meat scrap, will prove
most profitable and will produce eggs
at the lowest cost.
There is no one best ration for all
conditions, but many Of the grains can
be fed interchangeable, depending on
their availability and price.

STABLE FLIES BREED
IN ANY DIRTY PLACE
Certain Farm Practices Favor
Development Of Pest.
Custom Of Permitting Manure to Ac-
eumulate Just outside Of Door
Makes Very Attractive
Place for Insects

Certain agricultural practices favor
greatly the development Of the stable
fly. according to specialists OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The fly breeds most commonly
in straw and horse manure or In a
mixture of the two. The custom OF
allowing the manure from the horse
stable to accumulate just outside the
stable doors insures the presence Of
stable flies at all times when climatic
conditions are suitable for breeding.
Allowing barnyards, especially around
dairies, to become knee-deep In
manure Is also favorable to the pro-
duction Of flies
In the grain belt It is the practice
Of farmers to thrash the grain In the
fields by means Of self-stacking thrash
ing machines. The Individual stacks
cover much ground and the straw Is
loosely piled In many cases for con-
venience several stacks are formed In
various parts Of the field. When
thrashing is followed by heavy sum
mer and fall rains this loosely piled
straw is certain to form breeding
place for great numbers Of flies.
The insect occasionally may breed
In broken-up masses of hay or dead
grsss. especially when these are per-
mcnted with liquids from manure, and
corn husks in feeding pens have been
found to harbor the maggots. Manure
pies commonly found near horse
stables are particularly attractive to

There isn't any money In hens. OF
course. we want fresh eggs and plenty
Of chickens to eat on our own table,
but as for their being a money-making
proposition there's nothing to It.
Why. they don't even pay for their
keep"
This statement Is often heard on the
lips Of farmers who give these fowls
very Indifferent care, and do not keep
any records Of the cost of feeding or
OF the receipts returned. A flock of
poultry properly managed on a farm
will return a greater profit than under
any other conditions because they pick
up a large amount Of waste products
and only comparatively small
amount Of feed has to be bought.
Much greater returns would be Sc
cured from the average farm flock IL
the poor layers were culled out. as
some Of the birds hardly pay even for
this feed which has to be purchased.
This keeping of free boarding house

Is for the poultry man who is making

A hen that lays no eggs requires as

Requisites for EGG Production.
Hens Of a good egg-laying strain
will lay more eggs, In the course Of a
year, than will a flock of mougrels.
In the majority of instances 1t is not
feasible to sell all the old flock and
start new standardized one: but, II
standardized ROSTERS are used to head
the flock for three or four generations,
the resulting flock will resemble pure
bred fowls. The better way, however.
Is to get Matching eggs from good
strain of purebred fowls.
Culling must be practiced In all
docks If profit Is to be made. In the
better fiocks few birds will be dis
carded. but in the ordinary farm

CULLING POOR HENS

IF our cooperative marketing sys-
TEN were discontinued, 1t would be a
calamity to the farmers Of this coun-
try" was the recent statement Of a
Mississippi farmer-this, in a state
where only few years ago no cooper
alive marketing system of any prac-
tical value existed.
But once the advantages OF market
ing surplus produce comparatively had
been successfully demonstrated coop
eratlve organizations sprang up every
where throughout the state almost
overnight.
True, many of them were formed
hastily; and the farmers soon learned
that the success of cooperative en-
terprise depended upon something
more than the mere willingness of Bill
Smith and John Brown to pool their
produce. Efficient business methods
had to be devised, and problems pc
cullar to each particular community
needed to be solved. But with firm
belief In the soundness of the coop
erative principle. these obstacles dis
solved before the whole-hearted efforts
exerted by the members working to-
gether. To the county agents of Mis-
sisslppi is due the credit of initiating
and developing this work.
With the thought that other farmers
may find them Of value. some of the
methods pursued are here given.
Grading Better Than Marking.
In shipping hogs it was found that
the grading method was better than
marking as to ownership. Well-fin-
ished barrows and open gifts are
graded according to weight, and pack
er sows are graded according to size,
quality and finish. Hogs of any class
that are poor and emaciated are classi-
fed as skins" Special methods Of
bedding and loading have also been
devised. Similar methods are APP
piled to cattle and sheep.
For marketing miscellaneous prod
ucts the commodities that the farm
ers have In small quantities are as
sembled In a rented warehouse or va
cant store located at point conven-
lent to the railroad. m
Corn is shelled before shipping. II
possible. as shelled corn can be graded
with greater accuracy II can be stored
II the market Is low, and 1t can be
hauled to town when roads are good
and at a convenient time. The corn
is put up In good. overweight 2h-
bushel bags.
Ear corn is loaded direct from the
farmers wagons into the car. A
weigher examines the corn at tha
scales for color. quality and maturity.

SWEET CLOVER GAINS FAVOR
Enables Farmer to Grow Regular Crop
and Then Secure Manure Crop
to Pillow Under.

The problem Of the farmer has been
to and a crop that was legume to
take the place of clover when It fails.
With sweet clover It will be possible to
grow regular crop on the soil and
then secure a heavy green manure
crop the same year to pillow under.
Much Of the future policy of farming
depends upon cheap supply Of nitro.
gen to build up that lost from the soil
by cropping, and no other crop has
given so much promise as the new an
nual sweet clover.
