Way Up in Old vermont

There's a smell of maple syrup.
An enhancing smell of sap,
Though as yet the world-old mater
Holds big snow-bankS in her lap;
And the wind strikes through and
through us
As it slaps us in the face,
But we can hear the challenge
With a good and silent grace.
We can easy bear the burden
OF the things we do not want
When "sugaring'' is coming
Way up in old Vermont
March winds are all a-bluster:
TO spring they hold the key.
While the trumpet of the bluebrd
Calls up the chickadee.
And here's to recollections
OF childhOod'S kettle black.
Which held the seething nectar
In bubbling sweetness back.
The smoke pursued and blinded US,
But nothing could us daunt-
For we were making sugar
Way up in old Vermont.
We scraped the snow crust neatly
To spread the varnSh thin,
Till a hunk of pork was needed
To hold the cauldron in.
We did the trick of sprintlng.
Though Chilblains pinched our toes
And bright-hued freckles got in line
ana marched across our noSe-
But nothing mattered, Life was young
And all merry iaunt
For we were "Sugaring'' for keeps
Way up in old Vermont.
II may have been the flavor,
OF leaf. or stick. or bark
That makes our mouth to water. now
And to fond memory bark
IL may have been the old folks.
Ii may have been the time:
1t all was good and warm and sweet
Thrilled through our veins like wine
All. wen but still the sunshine
Throws shadows long and gaunt;
And we are "sugarinR again

RANGOON. March 22-F Kingdom
Ward, explorer and author. has arrived
in Rangoon from nine months trip in
to China, five months of which were
spent in the independent kingdom of
Null in Chinese Tibet.
Mr.. Ward spent most of his time on
this trip in collecting plants for Edin-
burgh university, bringing back with
him about a thousand varieties of rare
plants, some of which are new and I'M
classified. He also found four new spe
cies of the blue poppy. These, with their
seeds, have been shipped to Edinburgh.
After travelling through northern
Burma and part of China, he entered
Chinese Tibet and headed for Null, a
small kingdom, covering about $1,000
square miles. with many high mountain
peaks, some of which are over 10000 feet
above the sea. Mr.. Ward said that was
ruled by a powerfully built man, a
lama, who lived in an enormous monas
terry surrounded by a guard OF 6,000 war
riors.
Mr. Ward found on arriving there that
the lama was suffering from disease but
he soon recovered under the explorer s
treatment and thereafter Mr. Ward was
given quarters in the monastery for
himself and a companion and his sery-
ants were we'll looked after.
In Null and the adjoining Kingdoms
the party found the villages. though few
and sparsely settled. are all extremely
prosperous. This is explained by an
abundance of gold which is washed out
of the river sand in many places. White
men are not welcomed in these places as
the rulers suspect that they come for
gold.
Mountain sheep abound in Null, living
about the high cliffs, which are mostly
devoid of vegetation

CLUB BOY CONVERTS FATHER
Charles Martin is the Son of a tenant
farmer. In 1920 he got into the corn
club and made.a yield Of 91.S bushels
which was the record for the county.
All the time his father said he did not
want him to "fool with it." In spite
Of the opposition the boy planted an

During the past two years the Uni

see Experiment Station at Columbia,
Tennessee, for the purpose Of deter
mining which breeds are most suited
for use on common ewes for the pro-
duction Of early spring lambs.
This year 100 ewes Of common breed

were divided into FIVE equal flOcks and
each flock was headed by a good ram
Of one Of the following breeds South

FORMULA FOR MAKING
COVE RNMENT MhlTEWASH

Whitewash properly made is almost
as serviceable as. paint, for rough
wood, brick or stone and much cheap
er than the cheapest paint, according
to the rural engineering specialist, Di-
vision of Extension.
Directions for making the Govern
ment whitewash are as follows:
Take one-half bushel of unslacked
lime, slack it with boiling water, COW
er during the process to keep in the
steam, strain through a fine sieve or
strainer and add to it a peck of salt,
previously dissolved In warm water,
three pounds Of ground rice boiled to
thin paste and strain while hot, half
pound of Spanish whiting and one
pound of glue, previously dissolved by
soaking in clean water and then hang
ing over slow pot hung in a larger
one filled with water. Add five gallons
Of water to the mixture, stir we'll and
let stand for a few days, covered to
protect it from dirt. The wash should
be applied hot for which purpose it
can be kept in kettle or portable
furnace. A pint of this mixture If
properly applied, will cover one square
yard.

Temporary Pastures Thought
Best For Sheep
Specialists Give Valuable Pointers
On Care Of Flock

For health and for economical use
of the pasturage il is undesirable to
Keep sheep on the same ground more
than from 10 10 IA days, say special
lists Of animal husbandry, Division of
Extension, in discussing the question
of raising sheep on temporary past
ures. The most generally useful size
lot is acre TO % sheep. This area,
on the average, furnished in expert
ments IA days feed.
Arranging the size of lots on the
basis of acre to % sheep is more sat
isfactOry than seeding larger areas and
using hurdles to permit advance fresh
feed each day. Less labor is neces-
sary and by going to entirely new
ground after 10 or 70 days the danger
OF picking up parasite larvae on
ground grazed over earlier is prevent
ed With l acre lot for 25 ewes, or
CORRESPONDENCE larger ones for larger
flocks, it is an added advantage if
their length is two or three times the
breadth.
With heavy crop of forage that
would last longer than was considered
safe to hold the flock on the same
ground, a short piece of cross fence
can readily be put down to divide the
pasture into two parts The smaller
lots are also convenient with purebred
flocks to provide for the separate
pasturing of smaller lots Of ram and
eve lambs.
Movable fencing is not likely to be
satisfactory for the outside-lot fences
unless the whole area to be used lies
in a long strip with side fences, when
only two end pieces need to be in place
at one time for the ground being graz
ed.
Preventive measures are best
against insect enemies. Rotate the
crops, avoid introducing insects AMI
diseases, practice frequent cultivation,
and employ fertilizers to stimulate
plant growth. A vigorously growing
garden may produce a crop in spite of
injurious insects, but in fighting in
sects be thorough

RESULTS OF SPRING LAMB PRODUCTION
EXPERIMENT SHOWS VALUE OF GOOD SIRE
Hampshres Lead In Tests at Middle Tennessee Station Witt
Common Ewes of A Breeds Used With
Good Bucks and Scrubs
BY c. A. WILSON, VlcE-DEAN,
COLLEGE or AGRICULTURE, UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE.

Of the Shropshire lambs 102 days, OF
the Hampshire lambs so days, Of the
oxford lambs IS days, and of the scrub
lambs 100 days.
The rate of gain of the lambs Of each,
group was as follows Lambs sired BY
the Southdown ram SO pounds per day,
by the Shropshire ram ~ pounds, by,
the Hampshire ram IT pounds, by the
Oxford ram ~ pounds, and by the
scrub ram II pounds.
The average price received per head
was affected by the size of the lambs
of each group and the percentage Of
each group grading as Prime Tops.
The average amount received for the
Southdown sired lambs was $12,10, for
the Shropshires sired lambs 1928,
for the Hampshire sired lambs was

Good Rams Used
The result Of this years work so far
as the data have been compiled checks
with that of last year. The ewes used
we're such as is gathered together By
spring lamb producers Of Middle Ten
nessee and in most cases had been
raised in northern Alabama, on the Rim

section of Middle Tennessee or on the
Plateau of Middle Tennessee and north
ern Alabama. Some Of them no doubt
had been raised in the Basin section of
Middle Tennessee. The rams used were
the best that could be obtained They
were Of excellent conformation for the
breed and in most cases had won pre-
miums at the larger fairs. The scrub
rams used in this years work were Of
better grade than the average scrub
ram. They had plenty Of scale but were
lacking In conformation and breeding.
They did not show one-fourth blood of
any breed. Most Of the ewes showed
no particular breeding.
It is of especial interest to note that
the ewes used in this experiment were
purchased the last days Of July and
were turned on cut-over hay fields and
we're later carried through the winter
on rye and crimson clover. They were
on pasture every day throughout the
winter except for about a week when
the lamb was young. Except for the
week just referred to they received no
grain or hay throughout the winter.
The average gain per eve was 8 IL
pounds.
At this time the 100 ewes have 209
living lambs, have shorn an average
Of IL pounds OF wool per head, have
marketed $1,43S.S7 worth Of lambs, and
have SO lambs left to market the latter
part Of May or the forepart Of June,
and the principal part Of their feeds
has been obtained from winter grown
forage.

and not on speculative basis.
"When good purebred bulls can be
bought, as they can now, at , very
cheap price, some men continue to use
a scrub bull on the theory that cattle
are too cheap to justify the small ad-
ditional outlay necessary 70 secure
good purebred sire. On the other hand,
the careful business farmer finds that
ne must economic in every way possi-
Bile IN order to show a profit at the
end Of each season. This man knows
that the use Of purebred bull enables
him to produce more economically be-
cause the calves from a purebred
sire mature at an earlier age on
less feed than the progeny of scrub.
They are more attractive when sent TO
market because they dress a higher
percentage Of choice cuts, so this man
practices economy by putting more
money into the initial cost of bull.
Good Time To Start In Purebreds
i find many more stock farmers that
are enquiring after purebred stock with
view to laying the foundation Of a
purebred herd while it can be done
without very large outlay Of cash.
The agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations and the livestock press
are constantly calling attention to the
fact that the purebred sire is an econ
ony in the process Of production.
I'VE need not fear an over produc.

be concerned as to whether we will be
able to supply he demand for good
stock that is increasing from year to
