BERKSHIRE BREEDERS
BOOST BETTER SIRES
Plan Suggested to Increase Use

American Association Urging Various
State Organizations to Favor Ex-
change of Registered Bears
for Grade Animals.

An indication of the active and
widespread support being given TO the
bettersire campaign now systemati-
cally fostered by the United States
Department of Agriculture is illus
trated by a proposal recently made by
the American Berkshire association.
This association, according TO letter
recently received by the department,
is suggesting to State Berkshire
Breeders association a plan designed
to broaden the market for Berkshire
boars and increase the use of pure
bred animals on farms.
The association is urging the Vari-
Gus state organizations to mail circu-
lar letters to their members suggest
ing that breeders exchange purebred
boarS for grade bOarS now being used
by farmers, pricing the registered
boar at close figure and taking the
grade boar at the market price as

Whether it is conducted on an eX-
tensive scale to supply the market or
whether it Is to produce food for the
family the garden plot is likely to be
the most profitable acreage on the
farm.
Any rubbish, dead vines or plants
and benn poles or tomato stakes
should be cleared away.
The earliest and choicest vegetables
are harvested by the man who main
tains a few hotbed sashes and uses
! them to start his garden. He Is able
to handicap the frost line by several
weeks, and TO set strong, well-devel'
oped plants in his garden at time MS
neighbors are planting seed.
Increase Farm Income.
The farm income Is at its lowest
point in the early spring, but 1t can
be increased considerably by the sale
Of young plants grown in the hotbeds
and ready for transplanting. Tomato
cabbage, eggplant, and pepper plants
are always snapped up when the first
warm planting days come, and they
are easily grown in the hotted. a lit
tie more space and little more seed
than the grower needs for his own use
are likely TO bring good profits. be
fore the ground freezes in the fall Is
good time to clean out the old hot
beds.
Unless the soil used in the hotbed
Is to be exchanged for fresh earth II

tossed into a pile nearby. The decayed
manure from the bottom Is scattered
over the pile and thoroughly mixed
with It to form rich soil for next years

or leaves held down by bits of board
to keep it from blowing.
Some farmers find it convenient tt
use evergreen boughs instead of straw
for the outer covering.
Hotbed Should Face South.
New hotbed pits should be dug sc
that they will face the south. and the

ing the grade boar to the butcher. In
their letter to the state associations
the national body points out that
every Berkshire breeder who follows
this suggestion does three things:
He puts a Berkshire boar on an ad-
ditional farm.
He provides means of getting
good Berkshire feeder hogs for the
market.
He puts the purebred sire on a
farm where formerly there was a
grade or scrub.
Signs bearing the legend, Regis

There Is nothing in the plan, say
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, that does
not seem practicable for any other
hog breeders association to use.

KEROSENE TO DESTROY BUGS
Easily Prepared Emulsion Of Soap and
Oil Is Excellent for Plants
and Animals.

Kerosene emulsion Is one Of the vest
lice killers on plants and animals, says
North Dakota college. 1t is easily pre-
pared and very cheap. Dissolve one
half pound of soap in one gallon of
kerosene and stir very vigorously. or
better yet. churn with force pump
for few minutes. For use, dilute one
gallon with nine to ten gallons Of wa
ter. Stir well. 1t is best to use rain
water. If only small quantity Is
wanted use one to two ounces OF soap,
two quarts Of boiling water and one
pint of kerosene and dilute to two gal

POTATOES LOST IN STORAGE
Decay, Shrinkaoe and sprouting Arc
Caused by Too Much Light and
High temperature.

Losses Of potatoes in storage can be
minimized If proper care and attention
are given through the winter. AIDE
quate ventilation must be provided.
Storage places should be kept uni
formly cool, dark and frost-proof.
These precautions are emphasized by
potato men Of the Minnesota College
of Agriculture. Decay, shrinkage and
sprouting are caused by light and high
temperature.

EARLY GARDEN PREPARATION
Essential for Best Results in Making
Mechanical Conditions as IL
Should Be.

Early preparation of the garden Is
necessary for best results in making
the mechanical condition as It should
be. In the case Of green manure
crop growing, it can be left a little
later in some localities, but 1t should
be turned under early enough to give
1t time to decay.

from the woods mixed with the nat
ural soil will often form a smooth,
rich, stoneless mass which gives an
ideal hotbed filler.
The back or north side of the frame
Is usually made from II 10 Is inches
high, while the south end is about
eight inches, so that the whole bed
may have pitch enough to get the sun
upon all parts. The standard hotbed
sash is handled by most dealers. and
measures three feet In width and six
feet in length. A frame just wide
enough to support the sash seems to
be the most satisfactory, though wider
beds are sometimes used with support
ing ridges placed at six-foot intervals.
A well-painted cypress sash. glazed
with good double-strength glass well
set in putty should give the careful
gardener II to Is years service.
Heat for the hotbed is furnished by
means Of a bed Of horse manure to
16 inches thick In the bottom of tie pit.
Permanent hotbeds are often heated
with coils Of steam or hot-water pipes
under the bed.
Hotbeds require constant care to
prevent their becoming overheated, es.
pecially during bright weather.

Now that the motortruck has been
developed 1t is nothing less than a
crime for highway engineers to de-

progressive states are realizing this
fact and are building more concrete

SAGINAW DEFEATS
ALMA HIGH TEAM
ALMA ELEVEN BATTLES HARD
UNTIL CONDITION TELLS IN
FINAL QUARTER.

Playing against a team at least ten
pounds heavier 10 the man, Alma high
forced Saginaw East Side high TO go
the limit in fight Saturday to win by
score Of Is TO 0, the points coming on
two tuochdOwns and safety.
Alma was woefully weak on the Of
fensive, and not once during the en-
tire game could make first down
on line smashing or end runs, Only
two first downs were made, these
coming on two successful forward
passes out of four attempts. The
surprise of the game To the Alma
fans, who were on the side lines was
that Alma did not resort more often
to the aerial contest, after repeated
efforts To smash down Saginaw's for
ward wall failed. Only IN the third
quarter when Alma got away with
both Of her successful passes did the
team outplay the Saginaw eleven.
On two occasions, one in the first
quarter and one in the third, after a
Saginaw punt had got away from
Warner and rolled to the goal line,
Saginaw had splendid scoring chances
but the defense of the Orange and
Black in the shadow Of its own goal
was too strong and Alma took the
ball on downs.
Saginaws first touchdown came in
the second quarter, when after a ser
les of end runs and line-smashos the
ball was carried TO The eighteen yard
line, where Captain Gilingham with
a slashing drive went through right
tackle for eighteen yards, to the
goal
Right after the fourth quarter
opened, the Alma eleven weakening
rapidly, failed to hold when Elias was
punting from behind his own goal
and he was nailed for safety. About
"A minute bfore the final quarter ended
Dillingham; smashed across the Alma
goal for the second touchdown, little
resistance to the Saginaw offense be-
ing shown i'm the final few minutes
of play, when the lack of condition Of
the Alma aggregation commenced to
be shown. Had it not been for this
lack Of condition it is probable that
Alma could have STAYED off this final
touchdown, as previously the defense
in front Of the goal line had proven
more than match for the Saginaw
offensive work.
