FALL FRESHENING IS URGED
Calves Are More Easily Raised and
Cows VIII Give More Milk
Farmer Has More Time

The man who had his dairy cows
freshen this fall is thanking his lucky
stars that most of his work is COM
ing when he has most time to do It
and when dairy products bring a high.

ence with both spring and fall fresh
eners will argue that fall freshening
Is better because Of the two advan-
tages given here and because the
calves are more easily raised and the
cows in the course Of year will give
more milk. Spring freshening has
but few advantages despite the fact
that it is the rule The main part Of
the work comes during the summer
when one is busy in the field and flies
annoy both cows and mixer. Fall
fresheners go dry in July and August

may be bought to advantage, their
value depending entirely upon their
quality and condition, but as a rule
only sound grains in good condition
should be fed to poultry, and moldy
grains should never be used. The
locally grown grains, which poultry
will eat freely, may generally be used
to the best advantage, say poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. A scratch mix
ture, consisting of whole or cracked
grains. made of a combination of any
two or more of those mentioned, can
be fed to advantage. 1t is not advis-
able to feed continuously any single
grain, especially corn.
A mash made of ground grains, mill
products. and meat scrap should be
Fed usually in addition to the scratch
mixture. Cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat
middlings, and meat scrap form the
basis of good mash, while corn chop,
corn-and-cob meal, ground oats, and
lOw-gra de -four may be added or sub
Stituted to advantage. Just as good
results can be obtained from simple
mash, containing three or four ground
grains and meat scrap, as from high
ly complicated mash, containing ten
or twelve products.
A large number of commercial mix
lures, both of scratch grains and Of
ground grains, are prepared for poul-
try feeds. but the value of mixed COM
mercial feed depends upon the com
position and the quality of the grains
used in it's preparation. If poultry
raiser does not produce any grain and
keeps a comparatively small number
Of fowls it Is often better for him to
buy commercial mixed feeds. The
average farmer, however should feed
homegrown grains, supplemented with
mill feeds and meat scrap. and the
large poultryman usually can mix his
own feeds to best advantage. When
two or three kinds Of grain are raised,
and ground or mill feeds are not read
lily available, good results can he OBJ
tanned by feeding only the grains,
provided they are supplemented with
meat scrap or milk.

GRAIN RATION FOR PIGEONS
Good Mixture May Be Made by Using
Corn, Wheat Peas and vetch-
Peanuts Are Good.

Many varieties of grains are used
in feeding pigeons. A good mixture
may be made of equal parts by weight
of small whole corn, hard, dry wheat,
peas and vetch, with small quantity
(about five per cent each) of hemp
and millet seeds added during the mott
ing period.
Other grains which may be substi-
tuted for or added to these are pea
nuts, dried garden peas, cowpeas,
clipped oats or hulled oats, buckwheat,
Egyptian corn, and milo maize, while
small quantity Of stale bread. rice.
rape, millet, canary or sunflower seed
may be FED for variety.
Peas are expensive, but seem to be
essential to the best results, espe-
cially during the breeding season.
Peanuts, cowpeas and dried garden
peas give quite good results and some
times are used in place Of field peas
when the latter are high in price. Soy
beans do not seem to be so well liked
by pigeons.
Tender green feed, such as freshly
cut clover, alfalfa and chard, lettuce,
plantain leaves and chickweed may
be fed, but Is not essential.

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

Field mice often work damage In
Minnesota orchards and in plots de-
voted to valuable forage crops. For
wears they have not been so destruc-
tive as they were last winter. In the
light Of this experience proper meas
ures should be ta',en this fall to pro
tect trees and fields from injury.
''In the case of young orchard
trees" says f. l., Washburn of the di-
vision Of economic zoology, Univer-
SitY farm, "prote%tion is found in the
shape of wood veneer which can he
bought in box factories and other
sources of supply. Each sheet of
veneer is aboui 20 by q inches. and

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 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 causes the tree to lean to the
northeast, when the tree stands singly
so as to get the full amount of light
on all sides.
The same effect may be secured in
a greenhouse or where the light and
temperature may be controlled. A pc.
tato sprout in the cellar may be two
or three feet long from food taken
from the tuber, but 1t may contain no
more dry matter than growth of g
few inches from the same food mate
rails, when grown in the light.

Treatment OF CHERRY TREES
May Be Pruned Either In Fall or
Spring-Nitrate OF Soda and Bone
for Fertilizer.

Cherry trees may be pruned quite
successfully either in the fall or
spring where frosts 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, if wood ashes
are available, from so to 100 bushels
could be used

BIG MEN WANTED IN STATE AFFAIRS.

The suggestion that great men often make grea' positions that have wonderful effect upon the af- fairs of a Government and financial, industrial and commercial conditions causes to recall that one of the great demands Of the hour in this country is some great State Governors and great men in State Legislatures and other state offices The rehabilta-
 ton of the States their proper place ill the scheme Of our affairs necessity if this country is to make the greatest progress Government cannot be close to the people if it is centered in Washington. The United State is too large in and too popuous permit of her government by nonresident bureau crats Therefore the State governments must take their proper place under the Constitution if are have self-govornment, and the best to restore the States their proper place in governmental establishment would be to have big men in charge of State matters

But that has ceased to be the Tule.

And while it will doubtless be pos sible 10 raise additional revenues by adjust ing the rates of some of the present taxes and also 10 remedyq certain inequities in the present system it is clear that to accomplish the full reforms which sound Industrial con ditions demand and which necessitate serious curtailment of some of our most productive bases, il is necessary to find new sources of revenue.
