age than was obtained in this instance.
 In such a system as the one under trial there is not much choice of crops to be used in different months. It is chiefly necessary to make sure of haV- ing one crop ready when the preced- ing one Is finished. All the crops used in 1919, the third year of the experiment. stimulated good flow of milk in the ewes, produced good growth in the lambs, and. after wean- ing, put the ewes i'll good condition for fall breeding. -
 The ewes and lambs were all pure bred Southdowns. Some of the ewes raising lambs received half-pound of grain each daily until May TO- and 2 head of ewes in a fall-breeding experi- ment received light feed of grain dur ing September and October. All the lambs were kept for breeding purposes and were fed some grain throughout the summer. In calculating how far the feed actually produced would go for grown sheep 1t was considered that a lamb ate one-fourth as much as a sheep until July l. and after that one-half as much. A total of 520 hours work for man and a team was required for blowing and seeding he 60 acres used in 1919.
 Under the conditions of this experi- ment fall-sown wheat and spring seed Hgs of oats and peas sown together at the rate of l12 bushels per acre nave been most satisfactory for graz ing in spring and early summer. Soy beans are ready for grazing about the middle of July and furnish most of the feed until October. In November fall-sown wheat and rye have been used most, though late seedlings of corn and velvet beans were used in 1919 for the first time on F acres that had received an extra top dress ing of manure.
 The number of days of grazing from one acre of each crop in 1919 was as follows, calculated on its pasture value for one mature eve:

 ings During Winter.

Board floors usually are short-lived unless air is allowed to circulate un- der them. This may be provided for by means of openings in the founda- tion walls. which should be closed during the winter. A board floor GOV cred with one-quarter inch of fine sand, with scratching material on this makes a good floor. The litter and sand can be removed readily when de sired. and fresh materials provided. If the wooden floors are constructed within two or three inches of the ground 1t is essential that the founda- tion walls be constructed in such way that rats cannot gain access be- meath the floor.

TYPES OF BABY BEEF COWS
Three important Factors Should Be Kept in Mind in Making Selec-
 ton of Breeders.

In selecting cows from which baby beef is to be produced, three very im- portant factors should be kept in mind:
 l. The cows should have at least a fair amount of beef blood. Pure breds are not necessary, but two or three crosses of such breeding is es- sential. Cows with preponderance of dairy blood will not do for the pro- duction of baby beef.
 ?. Cows best suited for this type of breeding usually weigh 900 pounds or over in thrifty breeding condition. So long as early maturity Is not saeri- feed, the heavier cows are the most suitable for baby-beef production. Size of frame rather than weight should govern in selecting cows which are to be used for this purpose.
 3. The cows used to produce baby beeves should produce enough milk to keep the calves fat and growing without much additional feed up to weaning time.
 In addition to these three factors, such things as constitution. uniform ity of breeding, color, size and early maturity should be considered

 The huge policeman stopped his ponderous but sure progression and stared long and suspiciously into Mir. Randolph's face. Finally he gave a grunt of recognition.

 On a 30-acre field in Maryland, used by the United States Department of Agriculture to test the carrying ca pacity Of temporary pastures for sheep. sufficient pasturage was produced to furnish an average of 505 days graz ing on each acre for a mature eve. This is equivalent to about two sheep an acre for season of 250 days, or two and one-half sheep for a 20O-day period
 This paSturage is much more than could be obtained from perennial grass grown on land of the character and value of that used in the experiment, the department sheep specialists say. but not more than can be obtained from the best bluegrass pastures.

 During the operation of packing, melons should be placed carefully in the crates. and not dropped or tossed into place, as Is frequently done. In- jury caused by squeezing can be pre- vented if packers are careful not to force in over-sized melons when fin ishing the crates.

 Cantaloupes should preferably not be wrapped. They do not refrigerate so well in transit nor do they reach the consumer in so good condition as unwrapped melons. Loading different types of packages may obstruct air cir culation and thus seriously retard re- frigeration. In cars equipped with these racks, as well as basket bunk CTS, salt may be effectively employed to hasten refrigeration. The ability of refrigerator cars to cool melon ship ments quickly and to maintain desir- able temperatures in transit depends directly upon proper bunker and bulk head construction. and upon the quan- tity and quality of ,he insulating ma terlal used

 Moreover, grain containing impur- ities foreign matter, or high mois- ture content Is quite likely to become hot in transit. which greatly reduces it's value and frequently results Tn serious financial loss. If the elevator is not provided with suitable equip ment for this process, such grain must be shipped in the condition in which 1t Is received.
 The farmer should not place all re- sponslbility for cleaning grain on the elevator. it Is believed. It should be remembered that elevator managers do not pay grain prices for the dirt and water found in farmers grain. The price should be established by taking into consideration the neces- sary expense of placing the grain in marketable condition. The farmer who delivers clean, dry. sound grain should receive premium over the price paid to the more careless farm CT who delivers grain of inferior qual- ity specialists say.
