SECURE BEST HARVEST HELP
Rovers are Usually Efficient but They
Are Liable to Leave Before Crops
Are All In.

Getting help for the harvest rush is
problem which Is best faced weeks
In advance. Grain, and orchard har-
vest seasons bring to many sections
large numbers Of travelling help who
start with a crop In the South and
work north with the season to the
Canadian border. These workers are
usually efficient through long ex-
perience. but they are likely to feel
the urge Of the road and leave before
the farmer gets his crop all harvested,
obliging him to pay much higher rate
to secure the remainder of the cror
before 1t spoils. Wherever efficient
local help can be obtained, It is to
be preferred to the royers.

standpoint, lies not only in producing
the desirable amount Of fat at the
least expense for food and care, but
also In getting the fat well distributed
through the flesh rather than merely
In masses within the carcass or under
the skin. Such large masses have lit
tie value for table purposes. and un-
less they are carefully saved and used
for cooking they are practically vast
ed. When the amount of flesh Is in
creased by the fat between the fibers
the proportion Of edible material is
increased, and the larger masses of
meat make better portions in serving
The quality of the flesh is also i'm

Importance Of Special Feeding.
Chickens fattened on mash of
grain and milk acquire a delicate fla
vor. Special feeding often imparts a
very desirable flavor. This is found
In canvasback ducks, for example,
which are considered at their best
when they have fed on wild celery.
Celery and chestauts sometimes are
used to give turkey flesh special fia-
vor. Birds intended for table use
should not be allowed to eat onions or
wild garlic habitually. because the
sulphur compounds In these plants
pass over into the flesh and give 1t q
taste Objectionable to most persons.

methods now generally designated as
warehouse. car-door, plug and bale in
spection. there is difference in apply.
Ing the grades. Some inspectors give
the entire carload the grade Of the
poorest quality Of hay found in Il.
Other inspectors endeavor to apply an
average grade.
Some of these practices are hardly
fair to the shipper. but so long as they
exist the shipper must meet the situa.
tion In the best manner possible. Uni
form loading is probably one Of the
most important methods of obtaining
satisfactory grades,
Mixed Cars Unsatisfactory.
In some sections the alfalfa mead
ows are allowed to stand until they
contain large quantity OF weeds
and grass In other sections other
grasses are sown with the alfalfa for
hay. When loading any mixture the
greatest care should be exercised to
have the hay loaded into any one car
all Of the same degree of mixture.
This suggestion applies also to hay of
different quality because Of bleaching
or damage.
Many shippers make the mistake Of
thinking that few bales of off-grade
hay will not hurt the grade Of a car
but will be accepted along with the
good hay or at only a small discount.
Unless the market Is very strong the
hay usually will be accepted only at
a heavy discount, and frequently the
whole car will be rejected. If the car
Is accepted 1t will be taken only at the
price value Of the poorest hay found
IN the car.
For best results In marketing alfalfa

shippers:
To ship bales Of size and weight de-
sired by buyer.
To ship grade desired and not to in

grade of the hay in the car II cars are
officially inspected by regular inspec-
tors located at important markets.

COAL ASHES AS fertilizer
Their Use is Malniy,to Loosen Up Soil
and Make II More Workable
Most Useful on Clay.

Coal ashes have little value as ferti-
iizer, their use being mainly to loosen
the soil and make 1t more workable.
They are most valuable on heavy clay
soil. but should be screened to take
out coarse material before they are
applied, and should be spread evenly
over the surface and thoroughly mixed
with the soil. Wood ashes have ferti-
liking value, but should be applied be-
fore they become leached.

Committees Approval.

st. Paul--The house committee on
agriculture. by vote of to l, sus-
tanned the recommendations Of the
executive officers of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau that the county boards
be compelled to appropriate money for
farm bureau work.
According to the farm bureau laws

new measures provide that the state
may apply $4,000 instead of $1,000 to
each county. but only $1,000 for each
county agent or home demonst ration
agent. st. Louis county, under the
proposed law, may appropriate up to
$4,000 for farm bureau work. and
county boards in all other counties
shall appropriate from $1,000 to 49,
900.
Eleven Of the 10 committee men,
bers present, including four OF the five
who were against compulsory appro-
priations. are active members of the
farm bureau federation.
Members opposing compulsory coun-
ty appropriations were Anderson, Gran
