USE GREEN MANURIAL CROPS
Gradually Taking Place Of Stable
Manures to Keep Up Supply Of
Organic Matter. /

Prot. r. L. Watts, writing in the
Market Growers journal, sums up the
fertility problem Of the market grow
er In the following:
"Wh1le we have pinned our faith to
the use Of stable manure in producing
good crops, green manurial crops are
gradually taking the place Of stable
manures. It Is fortunate that we are
able to maintain In this manner the
supply Of soil organic matter. Let Us
remember some essentials in the sue.
cessful use Of green manures. They
might be given as follows:
II. Soil adaptation. We should be
careful to select the right crop for the
soil under cultivation, which also fits
properly into the system Of cropping.
70. Use bountiful supply Of seed.
%. Use sufficient commercial fer.
tilizer to insure heavy growth.
II. Sow In ample time, especially in
the fall Of the year, so that the crop
will get good start before winter.
IS. Take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity to grow a manurial CROP"

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Animals Need Protection Against
Dampness as We'll az From Cold
During the Winter.

For the benefit of farmers who are
wintering a flock Of sheep for the
first time this year, the Nebraska Col
leges of Agriculture offers the follow
ing Suggestions: A good well-venti-
lated shelter is necessary not SO much
for protection against the cold as
against dampness. The fleece will
keep the sheep warm If 1t Is dry. A
good shed open on the south will serve
the purpose until 1ambing time, when
a warm barn is necessary If the wealth
er is at all cold. After the corn
Is shocked the sheep can run in the
stalks in good weather, with corn
silage or alfalfa fed In limited guam
titles. A little fodder may be fed In
stead of silage, but sheep seem to do
better where some kind Of succulent
feed, such as silage, roots, pumpkins
and the like is q part Of their ration.
Very little or no grain IS needed up
until a week or two after lambing.

WHY PERcHERoN is POPULAR
Breed Adapted to All Kinds Of Farm
Work, and Exceptionally
Docie and Sensible.

The modern Percheron is very popu-
lar with the American farmer because
he is an easy keeper and an early
maturer Is hardy and vigorous, but
docile and sensible, strong, active and
we'll adapted to all classes Of farm
work and city use. America had a
preference for black horse which has
led to the production Of darker colored
horses, but, as Is evidenced by some
OF the leading shows Of recent years,
there Is a tendency to revert back to
the original color, that beautiful iron
gray. It is a good thing that this
Is true, for a minor point like color
should never detract from the value
Of an otherwise good horse.

PLAN TO AVOID HOG CHOLERA
Highly Contagious Disease Can Often

Recently an instance was brought to
the attention Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture where hog
cholera appeared almost simultaneous
1y on the farms of six out of the eight
members Of 'threshing ring" The
Infection on all SIX farms was traced
to the premises Of one Of the members
Of the ring" whose hogs were sick
at the time the threshing was done
on his farm about 10 days previous.
The owner Of the sick hogs failed
to recognize the nature Of the disease,
and in his eagerness to care for his
crop while the weather was favorable,
he delayed calling veterinarian until
after the threshing was finished. AS

place the cartridge in the blast hole,
making sure the cap stays in position.

! Wooden Stick for Tamp1nu.
Having placed the primed charge, 1t
is necessary to lamp it. Any straight
round stick, about TX inches In d.
ameter and feet long, will do for
tamping. Never use iron. Moist clay,
moist loan, and moist sand, following
one another in the order named, make
the best tamping material. The mate
rial should be packed lightly for four
or six inches, and then rammed as
hard as the surrounding soil.
Before firing see that everybody IS
out Of the way. In firing safety fuse
1t is best to split 1t, exposing the pow
der for an inch, apply match until
the powder splits, and then run to safe
ty. If the charge fails, let It alone
until next day. For large Jobs 1t will
often be found advisable to buy an
electric blasting outfit, which will fire
several charges at once.

Of this and other explosives. The dis

FEEDING MINERALS TO HOGS
When Given In Balanced Ratlons They
Have Little Effect on Economical
Gains,

Minerals fed in balanced rations to
hogs had little IL any effect on rapidly

Illinois stations. They find that min
erals strengthen the bones Of the ami
mails. When pigs are not receiving
balanced ration, but are being fed
without pasture, milk Or tankage, MIN
erals are valuable aid, They may
pay when fed to breeding animals.
Minerals used In these tests were
ground limestone, air-slaked lime, rock
phosphate, bonemeal In various forms,
slaked coal and salt. Every practical
hog man knows the worth Of charcoal,
wood ashes and salt for hogs, especial
ly In winter when hogs can't get into

FINISH CATTLE FOR MARKET
Farmer viii Find It Profitable to

It is customary for the farmer who
has only few head Of cattle to sell
them to the local buyer, and after
being shipped to some central point,
and after passing through several
hands, they are sometimes found on
the farm of a neighbor, who makes
feeding business, being finished for
market. In series Of years the farm
er who feeds makes more money than
the farmer who does not feed. While
there are losses on the operation some
years. there are big profits other years.

WOOL AND MUTTON COMBINED
bols, Idaho, to Solve Sheep
Problems.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Sheep breeders, ranchmen and ami
NAL husbandmen from six or eight
states went to the United States sheep
experiment station near Dubois, Idaho,
this year for the annual shearing.
Keen interest attaches to the work
done by this station, especially by
those who are alive to the Importance
Of producing, If possible, breed that
shall combine weight In mutton and
excellence in fleece, with special refer
ence to market demands for fine or
coarse grades Of wool. In the shear
ing this year, just reported to the De-
partment Of Agriculture, the Rambouil-
lets scored highest. The report shows
these results:
Average Weight Of Wool per Sheep.
Rambouillets lila lbs.
Columbus ...................1 O.85
Corr1edales 1908
Corriedale grades ........... 1000
The station at Dubois was estab-
lished by the bureau of animal indus
try in 1917 to conduct experiments
with which 1t was hoped to solve some
Of the big problems in range sheep
business. With only little more than
three years experience the specialists
do not consider the results sufficiently
conclusive to warrant definite asser-
ton in favor of or against particular
range practice, but the work has at
tracted the attention Of sheepmen
everywhere, and is expected to become
increasingly important as the expert
ments develop.
ut Is quite generally agreed" said
one Of the sheep husbandmen, shat
for the main part Of the range sheep
country Of the northwestern states the
type of ewes obtained In the first cross
between the long woods and the fine
woods Is a very desirable stock eve.
We appreciate the fact that fine wool
rams were most popular In 1919, and
that this was due in part to the high
price of fine wool. Even should fine
wool continue to sell above coarser
grades, which Is doubtful, we still
could not afford to neglect the lamb

result he lost over half his hogs and
the Infection was carried to his neigh
bors' herds.
It Is a common practice for farmers
to borrow and loan farm implements
and exchange labor when they are
threshing, Smelling old corn, filling
silos and hauling stock and grain to
market. Farmers are advised to read
Farmers Bulletin 1874, Hog Cholera,
especially the discussion Of modes Of
infection with hog cholera.
"Threshing rings" are quite popular
and no doubt under present conditions
crops can be handled speedily and
economically in this way, but the dam
ger of carrying hog cholera from In
fected hog lots should be kept In mind
and precautions taken to avoid it. In
the instance cited the thresher was
