HOMEMADE HIDES
ARE TOO UNCERTAIN
It Does Not Pay Farmer to Tan
His Own Leather.
Packing Houses Have Considerable
Advantage Because Of Ability TO
Carefully Grade sl<Ins-ttoIes
Are Avoided.

Apparently 1t doesn't pay the farm
er to tan his own leather. The bureau
of chemistry, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, is conducting
leather-making experiments upon the
scale to which the average farmer
would have to adjust his work, and
specialists say that the results OBJ
tanned thus far do not warrant gen
eral practice. Good leather can be
made In individual tanneries, but the
results are too uncertain to give re-
liable profits.
The work was taken up by the de-
partment when 1t became evident that
the farmers were feeling the injustice
of a transaction wherein they sold a
whole cOwhide for less than they paid
out for a pair of work shoes-an oc
currence not at all unusual. Investi-
cation shows that the leather dealer
is not entirely to blame for the low
prices that the farmer receives for
his hides. Too often the hide from
the farm COW is taken Off In care

of cuts and holeS-farm hides are new
er as uniform as those bought from
the packing houses, where the animals
are carefully graded and the skins
removed by expert SINNERS. For that
reason the hide buyer is always will
ing to pay more for the packers prod
uct than he can offer the farmer.
Then, too, the farmer sells his cow
hide to the junk dealer, who deducts
his profit from the price ne pays.
Whenever it is possible to collect
number of hides and skins 1t will pay
the owner to deal directly with

INCREASE IN ALFALFA CROPS
Larger Yields Secured by oregon and
Washington Farmers by April
cation Of Sulphur.

Farmers in Oregon and Washington
have greatly increased their alfalfa
crops by the application Of sulphur.
This practice is based upon the re-
suits of Investigations by the expert
ment stations in these states as well
as upon demonstrations Of the use Of
sulphur on alfalfa conducted by the
county agricultural agents in co-opera-
ton with specialists from the agricul-
tural college. In Deschute county last
year 285 tons of sulphur were used,
at a total cost of a little more than
$4,000, and the increased yield, reck.
oned at $50 ton, was $4,000. In
Jackson county PIT tons, costing
about $4,000, are estimated to have
Increased the yield $4,000. In Kla-
math county SO tons, costing $500,
gave an estimated increase of $4,000,
reckoning alfalfa at SIS ton. Dem
onstratiOns in Josephine, Wallowa and
Wasco counties give a similar ratio
Of results. The first experiments in
sulphur fertilization In these states
were made In 1912 Rapid develop
ment Of the innovation was made pos
sible through the system Of !, county
agents and key men who were practi-
cal farmers.

CURIOUS EFFECTS OF LIGHT
More Sunlight on Southwest Side Of
Tree Causes Wood to BE Harder
and Limbs Shorter.

The fact that there is more sun
light on the southwest side of a tree
causes the wood to be harder, the
limbs shorter, and less weight Of tree
on that side Of the trunk than on the
opposite side
The difference In weight between
the southwest and northeast sides Of
the tree GAUGES the tree to lean to the
northeast, when the tree stands singly,
so as to get the full amount of light
on all sidea.
The same effect may be secured in
a greenhouse, or where the light and
temperature may be controlled. A po-
tato sprout u the cellar may be two
or three fees long from food taken
from the tubsr, but it may contain no
more dry matter than growth Of a
few inches from the same food mate

AROUND
ORCHARD
PROTECT TREES FROM MICE
Wood Veneer Wet, Can Be Wrapped
Around and Securely Fastened
With String.

Field mice Wften work damage In
Minnesota orchards and In plots de-
voted to valuable forage crops. For
years they have not been SO destruc-
tive as they were last winter. In the
light of this experience proper meas
ures should be taken this fall to pro-
tect trees and fields from injury.
"In the case Of young orchard
trees" says r. L. Washburn Of the d.
vision Of economic zoology, Unlver-
sity farm, protection is found in the
shape of wood veneer which can be
bought in box factories and other
sources of supply. Each sheet of
veneer is about 20 by "a inches, and
when wet can be wrapped around a
tree and securely fastened with string
or wire. Care should be taken to in
sert the veneer two inches in the
ground. These protectors will last
two or three years, and will not only
hold the tree-glrdling mice at bay but
the rabbits as well, unless drifting snow
makes 1t possible for the rabbits to
get above them.
Another method Of protection is by
the use of wire mosquito netting. The
wire has an added virtue of extend
ing up the trunk of the tree further
than the 2O-inch wood protector"

this, the reproductive and digestive

she is somewhat like an alarm clock
except that she must be wound up
about every II hours instead of every

digestive system strikes at about 3 or

TREATMENT OF CHERRY TREES
May Be Pruned Either In Fall or

for Fertilizer.

Cherry trees may be pruned quite
successfully either in the fall or
spring where frSsts are not severe.
Perhaps the best time is in the late
winter or early spring, just before
growth begins. A good fertilizer for
cherry trees, where barnyard manure
cannot be obtained, for an average
soil which needed fertilizer, would be
about 200 pounds nitrate Of soda and
400 pounds ground bone; and when
muriate Of potash is to be had about
500 pounds Of it; or, II wood ashes
are available, from 90 to 100 bushels
