A Dairyman's Food Problem

writes: have dairy and want
to mix my own feed at the
least cost and to produce the
most cream possible and keep
my cows in good healthy con-
dition. What crops would you
advise me to raise and what
feedstuffs to purchase.
Presumably cotton seed meal is
not very abundant in your section
Of the state. There should be, how
ever plentyb of peanut meal and
no doubt a considerable amount OF
velvet bean meal as well. Probably
you possess a supply of corn which
you have grown on your own plan
tation. In the event you do not 1t
will be necessary to buy some. The
more of this feed you can buy To-
cally the less will be the freight
and transportation charges.
1t will pay you, we think, to
grind the corn and cobs together,
making relatively fine grade of
corn and cob meal. We would then
mix the three kinds Of foodstufts
suggested together in equal
amounts.
Your COW should be supplied
with an abundance of roughage that
stimulates grass as nearly as pos
sible. If you have a silo you pos
sess a great advantage. If you do
not, then any sort OF rouShage
available on your farm should be
gathered together, cured and stored.

Seasonable Suggestions

There is an old saying, What is
one mans meat is another mans
poison" and I've thought many
times this fall that low prices for
beef cattle has been a blessing to
the women and children of the aver
age country home. There was never
beef at the door every week until
this year. 1t used to be that sort
of meat had to be brought from
town and the wife had to impress
it on the mind of the one going, or
the reply would be, "I forgot it till
1 started home and was too far
from the market" The farmers have
decided to market their own beeves,
and all of us are enjoying fat, juicy
beef at ten cents pound. Some
Of the provident ones are bringing
some for the cold days in winter
when fresh pork has become posi-
lively sickening and the Christmas
turkey has proved enough for
awhile.
Last summer when we had so
many young hogs, and corn began to
get low in the crib, the farmer on
this place got nervous over the
hogs appetites. He says hogs must
have plenty of corn in August or
ones pocketbook suffers later on.
1 told him to sit steady in the boat,
as too many people had killed their
sows, or starved their young pigs
for the supply to equal the demand
this fall. And SO it has proved. He
could have sold twice as many as
he had and they have gone to i'm
prove herds-not one for a meat hog.
The potato crop, Porto Ricos, has
been good. There is no packing
house near this part of the Tennes-
see Valley, and the price is fifty
cents a bushel. There is not much
difference in a bushel of corn and
one of potatoes for hogs ration.

ELIMINATING THE MOSQUITO

Everybody who remembers what the mos
quito pest used to be like in this section a few
years ago before the work Of determination be-
gan will look with favor upon the annual meet
ing of the New Jersey Mosquito determination
Association that convenes in Atlantic City today
and tomorrow. There were many s%keptical
ones at the beginning when the late Professor
(Bug) Smith. of Rutgers. declared that mos
qujtoes could be eliminated. He had to face
all kinds of ridicule and even some abuse, but
he lived long enough to see his theory vindi-
Gated.
While there have been times when mosquitoes
have been 'bad' in recent years, that there
has been a decided improvement must be ad-
mitted by all. The fact that we have any mos
quitoes at all at the present time is because
county and municipal bodies have failed to ap-
propriate sufficient funds to properly carry on
the work.
Ditching the salt marshes is the one big rem
edy, but these bitches must be kept open con-
tinually during the summer in order that the
swamps may be properly drained. AS We have
gone on draining more and more of the marsh

Der of bitches open has grown corresponding

| these stamps mean "please help"
Q. Is a stalk of corn growing by
itself a weed?-M. f. H.
A. The Department of Agricul-
ture says that when a stalk Of corn
comes up out of it's row., or In such
a way as to crowd a crop, or be dis
figuring. the stalk is a weed.
Q. How did coon oysters get this
name?-I.D.B
A., This is a name applied to oys-
tiers growing near shore where they
can easily be obtained by raccoons.
@. Where is vegetable ivory OBJ
tanned &c.
A. The coquilla nut. the fruit of a
species of palm, is known as vege-
table ivory. being imported from
of buttons and the making Of var
ious small ornaments.
G. What is the origin and mean
ing Of "coolie ?"-J.C.D.
A. The word "coolie" is derived
from "kuli" which means daily
hire 1t is used to designate labor
ers drawn from the various Asiatic
countries. notably China and India.
@, Why was John Bunyan i'm
prisoned?-B.G.H.
A. Bunyan was imprisoned for II
years (1660-1672) though during a
large part of the time he was grant
ed much freedom. At the time it
was illegal to conduct divine serv-
ice except in accordance with the
Established Church." Bunyan
continued to preach contrary to the
law and was confined in Bedford
county Jail. He was also imprisoned
for six months in 1876.
@. What makes scum on boiling
syrup ?-tB. FL.
A. The cur which rises to the
top Of the saucepan used in dissolv-
ing sugar over a fire is simply the
impurities of the sugar rising to the
top Of the mass.
@. What is Fools Gold. and how
can it be told from genuine gold?-
R.P.B.
A. The material commonly called
FOOLS gold is iron pyrite, a combina-
ton Of sulphur and iron in almost
equal parts which is used in making
sulphuric acid. Iron pyrite can be
distinguished from gold by the odor
of sulphur which it gives off upon
heating.
@. Are all insects found On plants
Injurious to them?-M.T.

". Thus when the annual appropriation for the
work is not increased, more and more Of such
funds as are appropriated must be used for
protecting work already accomplished so that
new work is slowed up.
What is needed is for the authorities to
furnish a sufficient sum each year to keep open
the trenches already dug and then appropriate
an additional sum for new work in order that
the system OF ditching may be extended.
But not all the mosquitoes come from the
salt marshes. There are the fresh water mos
qlitoes to be commended with also. They breed
in stagnant pools, rain barrels, half hiled tin
cans and the like. If each municipality would
look after this end of the work, leaving the
salt marshes for the county and state authori-
ties greater progress could be made.
1t was only a few years ago that the Jersey
mosquito was a standing joke. But the Joke Is
gradually being put on the other fellow now.
The visitor to New Jersey finds that the state
is practically free of mosquitoes compared with
what it used to be and that more mosquitoes
are to be found in other states than In New
Jersey. The change has been brought about
through the systematic campaign that has been
waged for the past decade. .
New Jersey has every reason to feel satisfied
with the work of mosquito determination. Once
the state goes after the problem in real earnest
the pest can be eliminated entirely or at least
it will become negligible.

MAKE TRUCKS OBEY THE LAW

Enforcing the law regarding the overload
ing Of trucks will 90 a great ways toward pre-
serving the states highways and bridges.
Truck owners are making an awful time be-
cause they have had their license fee raised,
but they do not hesitate to overload, run on
rims and otherwise damage expensive pave
fnents TO such an extent that 1t requires many
times the annual license fee they pay to make
good the loss.
The auto truck Is now being operated in di-
rect competition with the railroad, yet the rail-
road company is compelled to build and main
tain its own right of way. Judging from the
growth Of the auto truck the time Is rapidly
approaching when separate, low grade. heavily
paved highways will have to be built especially
for them. and they will have to be taxed for
the purpose of maintaining such highways.
This is especially true in regard to the main
roads, such as the Lincoln highway connecting
New York and Philadelphia.
Another abuse Of the truck is the running
inE"trains," one close behind the other, so that
where traffic is heavy In the opposite direc-
ton it lis difficult for those coming up from
behind the trucks to get past. Tuesday at
ternoon on the road between this city and Rah-
way six large army trucks all chained together
one O0nlHQ u IL WeG6 LHcS
were moving at a fairly rapid rate of speed and
with all the grades and curves in the road, 1t
vas difficult. to say the least, and more or less
dangerous to speed up to pass such a string of
ears. Traffic is heavy in both directions on
this road and to come up behind six big trucks
all chained together, without room to duck in
between them when q car coming in the oppo-
site direction is encountered, is extremely try
ing. 1t only goes to emphasize the necessity
Of having the highways. even under existing
condition, built wide enough for at least three
cars to run abreast with safety.
In the meantime steps being taken to make
trucks obey the law will do a great deal of
good. 1t is impossible to rebuild all our bridges
at once and many of the old structures were
never intended for such loads as they are now
often called upon to carry.
