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

Prof. r. L. Watts, writing in the
Market Growers Journal, sums up the
fertility problem of the market grow
er in the following:
while 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. 1t 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:
81. 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.
'2. Use a bountiful supply of seed.
SO. Use sufficient commercial fer
tilizer to insure heavy growth.
Il. Sow in ample time, especially in
the fall of the year, so that the crop
will get a good start before winter.
80. Take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to grow manurial crop"

SPREAD OLD STRAW ON LAND
Considerable Fertility Can Be Ob-
tained-WinterkIIi of Wheat
Is Prevented.

Farmers who have old stack bot
toms on their farms should put this
straw in a manure spreader and put it
on the land. Considerable fertility
can be retU ned by this means, and at
the same time an eyesore can be elm
mated frOr the farm yard. BY plac-
ing racks on the sides of the manure
spreader mtrh straw can be hauled at
Il load WI ere this straw is wet. of
course, the rack will not be needed.
New straw that will not be used for
feed could He placed on the winter
wheat, and this will furnish a good
covering and make a good fertilizer.
One farmer last winter reported that
the use of straw prevented winter
killing.

of other work, and the huzy recouec-
tiOn of the past seasons difficulties
with the tool or machine may hinder
greatly.
At the end of the seasons work with
any machine it is a plan worth while
to make out a schedule of needed re-
pairs and adjustments for that par
ticular machine, and file it in a con-
venient place, so that when an Op-
pOrtunity arises the work can be TAX
en- up and done quickly and thorough
ly. The machine itself represents
properly, and not left in a fence cor
ner or other Out-Of- -the-way place for
wooden parts to rot and metal parts
to rust,
Probably no implement used on the
farm receives a greater amount Of
abuse or as little attention to its prop
er care, operation and repair than the
plOw. 1t is the basic farm implement,
and should not be allowed to remain
in out-of-the-way places, subject to the
be housed properly when not in use.
When laid by, it should be stored in
a dry place away from contact with
the ground, and the bright parts coat
| ed with grease, to prevent rusting.
Once the moldboard, share and the
Landslide have become pitted with rust
an efficient job of plowing cannot be
done until the corrOded parts again
have acquired a polish.
Many farmers who would not neglect
an expensive harvesting machine, are
careless in the care of harrOws and
other implements of this type. These
also represent capital invested, and a
large return is possible if they are
properly cared for and housed at the
end of the season. If stored under a
shed, the teeth should be supported by
blocks or boards so that they will not
become embedded in the ground. All
accumulations of earth and trash
should be removed.
Keep Binder canvases Dry.
In storing the binder, remove the
canvases, wrap up carefully and store
in dry place, away from mice and
rats, or hang them over round stick,
with ends free and even. Thus mice
and rats can find no place for nests.
Apply a good leather dressing, har-
ness oil or tallow to leather straps, to
prevent them from becoming dry and
hard and cracking. The knife bar and
wooden pitman should be removed and
stored in a dry place. The knife bars
should be cleaned and creased. The
pitman should be stored on a shelf or
fiat place, so that it will not spring or
warp. Grease the ledger plates, knot
ter, twine holder. needle point. twine

chine and binding mechanism in gen.

and Repair of Farm Implements" is
sued by the United States Department
of Agriculture.

even with telescopes as much more
powerful than the biggest ones now ir
use as the latter are stronger than the
naked eye.
So careful an astronomer as Agnes
NJ. Clarke tells us that a sklff il
vast, unfurrowed ocean could moi
be more utterly alone than is our sOlaI
system in its little corner of the uni
verse. She continues:
"Yet the sun is DO isolated body. To

SpectroscOpic studies and sky OBJ

great migration across the sky to

tions of Hercules and Lyra.

Star Cluster in Hercules.
A faint idea of the stupendous mum
| ber of stars that dot the sky and the
| staggering distance that separate then
from our earth may be obtained from
fuzzy little speck of light in the con
stelation Of Hercules. 1t is visible
TO the unaided eye only on the clear
est nights; but train a high-powered
telescope on it and you will see one
of the finest star clusters in all the
heavens.

cannot be said for they are too re

instruments yet devised 1t is Ger
tain, however, that they are at leasi
so distant that the light coming to tht
earth from them this year may have
started on its hurtling journey through
space about the time of Joshua's con
quest of Jericho.
A glance to another spot in the
armament will afford a weak sugges
ton of the tremendous age of the uni
verse. The central star of the sworC
! of Orion appears to the naked eye as
merely dim little fellow that might
be passed without a thought. But
a telescope disclOses it as the mos
magnificent nebula in the heavens. Its
diameter is thought to be 20,0O0,OOC
times greater than that of our sun.
When the sweet singer of Israe
sang that "the heavens declare the

seen more than 5000 stars. With the
latest Mount Wilson reflector 100000,

BEST FEED FOR LAYING HENS
Eggs Cannot Be Obtained Where Fowls
Are Given Grain AIone-Mash
Is Needed.

Grain alone will not produce eggs.
They are made up largely of protein,
and grain contains on an average only
about 10 per cent protein. A good
mash feed is necessary in order to
produce enough whites to balance the
yolks.
The correct way to feed a mash is
TO keep it before the hens all the time
Grain feeds should be fed sparingly.

FEEDING MINERALS TO HOGS
When Given in Balanced Rations They
v Have Little Effect on Economical
Gains.

Minerals fed in balanced ratiOns to
hogs had little if any effect on rapidity
or economy of gains, report Ohio and
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 a 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
