out the regions mentioned neither corn
nor potatoes should be planted on such
land, because these crops will almost
surely be severely injured if this be
done. Ground that was in pure clover
or even in corn last year is likely to
be quite safe for planting to corn this
year, because the beetles which are
the parents of the white grubs do not
usually lay their eggs in such crops.
A good rotation of crops to escape
white grub injury is as follows: First
year, oats or barley; second year,
clover; third year, corn. Timothy or
other grasses harbor white grubs from
year to year, and therefore, in case
they are grown, the land producing
them should not be planted to corn,
at least the first year after it is
broken from the sod

information on white grubs, and may

ture.

FEEDING BARLEY TO HORSES
Results Obtained in Experiments With
Eight Percheron Mares on
Government Farm.

A test to compare the relative
value of light and heavy weight bar
ley as feeds for teamwork horses was
made last year by the United States
Department of Agriculture, at the ex.
perfmental farm, Beltsville, Md.
Eight Percheron mares were used
in the test, two receiving lightweight
barley, two heavyweight barley, and
four receiving oats as a check. The
test was continued % weeks. The
mares were used in all the routine
work of the farm, which included the
heavy field work of blowing, ETC., dur.
ing the spring months. The barley
used was the commercial grade of
heavy barley (rolled) and light bar.
ley (rolled), the heavy barley weigh
ing 47.6 and the light 40.7 pounds to
the bushel, according to the tested
weights, determined by grain investi
cations, bureau Of markets. The rela,
tive gains or losses In weights of the
mares fed on barley and those fed
on oats were practically the same. and
there was no indication that either
feed possessed outstanding merit over
the other.
The weights of the mares fed on
light barley remained more constant
than the weights Of the mares fed on
heavy barley, and the former seemed
to be slightly more thrifty than the
latter. although the advantage seemed
slight.

ENRICH SOIL BY TRENCHING
English Gardeners Take Great Pains
in Preparing Land-Heavy
Yields Are Secured.

The home gardeners of England take
great pains in preparing their soil,
even going to the extent of throwing
the surface soil to one side and then
spading manure into the subsoil to a
depth of IA to 16 inches. After the sub
soil is so treated the surface soil is re-
placed and great quantities of rotted
manure mixed with it. This process
is known as ''trenching." 1t results in
heavy yields of vegetables and enables
the crops to withstand drought pc
Rod much better than where the soil
is no. broken so deeply. Details of the
preparation of garden soils are dis
cussed in bulletins of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which are free on request.

APPLYING WATER TO GARDEN
Of Much Importance That Work
Should Be Done Without Injury to
Any of Various Plants.

In applying water to garden crops 1t
is important that the work should be
done thoroughly without injury to the
plants. An occasional thorough water
ing, with at least one good cultivation
after each watering, will give better re-
suits than more frequent sprinkling of
the surface. Home gardeners have in
many instances fitted up simple sys-
TENS for irrlgating their gardens that
have proved great help in carrying
the crops over dry periods.
For information on watering and
caring for home gardens, write to the

ture for bulletins on the subject. They

Are You Pale? Thin? Weak?
Enrich Your Blood!

Read this carefully: II your
blood were rich and wholesome, you
would not be pale; if your blood
were rich and nourishing, you
would not be thin; if your blood
were rich and vigorous, filled with
red corpuscles, you would not be
weak.
Poor, disordered blood is respon-
sible for a host of ills and weak
nesses. If you would attain ruddy
health, a robust body, and muscular
strength, You must first provide
yourself with that which builds all
these-a rich, wholesome, nourish-
ing blood supply! Any doctor will
tell you that.

will also keep the little chicks con-
fined early in the. morning, when the
grass is wet. Put hook or clasp on
the door to hold it firmly in place.
The mother hen should be confined
to the brood coSp until the chicks are
weaned. This gives the little chicks
a better start in life and prevents loss
from storms and hawks.
Clean Brood Coop Weekly.
Clean the brood coop at least once
a week, and keep it free from mites.
If mites are found in the coop, it
should be thoroughly cleaned and
sprayed with Kerosene oil or crude
petroleum. Spread from one to two
inches of sand or dry dirt or a thin
layer Of straw or fine hay on the floor
Of the coop for a covering and move
brood coops weekly to fresh ground,
preferably where there is new grass.
Shade is very essential in rearing
chickens, especially during warm
weather; therefore, place the coops in
the shade whenever possible. A corn
field makes fine range for young chick
ems, as they catch many bugs and
worms, and have fresh ground to run
on most of the time because of the
cultivation of the ground, and have
abundant shade at the same time.

PRODUCTIVE FARM LAND

In general sense, productive
farm land is land that is used
to produce crops, to pasture
animals, or to furnish a supply
of fuel, timber, maple sugar, or
other profitable forest products.
Nonproductive land is that por-
tion Of farm which is taken
up by the farm buildings, by
lanes and roads that are unnec-
essary, fence rows that are too
wide, open bitches, headlands,
swamps, rocks, ravines, sloughs,
and streams. or pasture land
that does not economically sup
port live stock. Farmers Bull
letin 745, issued by the United
States Department Of Agricul-
ture, gives further information
on this subject. Copies may be

ment at Washington, d. G.

Claims Chickens Were Poisoned.

York, July 15.-Alleging that he
poisoned about eighteen of his chick
ems, valued at $40, Louis Roth, York
vile merchant, has issued warrant
for o. C. Taylor, superintendent of
the Yorkville Oil Mill, charging ma
licious mischief. Taylor denies poison
ing Roth's chickens, but claims that
he did throw some dough over on the
Roth side of the fence that the chick
ems might be attracted to it and incl
dentally taught to stay at home. Incl
dentally Taylor comes back with the
charge that Roth's son, Louis, got the
Taylor goat by pouring gasoline on it
and then setting it on fire. John r.
Hart, Esq.,, represents Taylor. The
matter is scheduled for an airing in
Magistrate Fred Blacks court as soon
as the court of general sessions is
over.
