GOAT MEAT QUITE SUPERIOR
Most of Product Reaches Market as Mutton and Is Distinguished by
 Sweetness.

Goat meat Is seldom found on the market as such, yet the average number of goats slaughtered each year from 1916 to 1920, inclusive, was lil, ,4ST. It is probable that most of this meat reaches the consumer as mutton, which it resembles closely, as there are few cities that require 1t to he marketed under its own name. In cities and towns adjacent to the range country, however. Angora wethers are freely marketed as such and the meat ;s consumed without discrimination by the buyer. When received in large numbers these wethers usually sell at about 60 per cent of the price paid for sheep wethers.
 The reduced price of goat meat is doubtless attractive to the consumer. whether he knows what he is getting or thinks he is buying mutton Ac- cording to Farmers Bulletin l203 The Angora Goat, recently issued by the United States Department Of Agricul- ture. goat meat is usually superior to mutton that can be bought at the same price. Some consumers say that they are able 10 distinguish il from lamb and mutton by characteristic sweet ness.

SOWING TURNIPS TO
 FOLLOW VEGETABLES
Excellent Crop to Utilize Waste
 Spaces in Garden.
Reasonably Rich Soil is Essential. Finely Baked and leVeled of to Avoid Water Collecting
 in Little Pools.

(Prepared by the United states Department
 of AgriCuitGre)
 As a crop to utilize garden space after early vegetables have been har- vested, nothing is better than the turnip. Turnips should be planted in most parts of the country about July 25. but in the extreme south us late as the last of August and can be left in the ground until after several light frosts or all winter in the South. They are useful as a table vegetable and to n limited extent will supply the place of potatoes. II is the general opinion of specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture that the Amer ican public could consume many more turnlps than 1t does.
 For field sowing, turnips are usually broadcast. The particular require ment is n reasonably rich soil finely raked and leveled of to avoid water collecting in pools. The seed should be sowed sparngly. One homely rule Is to take the quantity which seems sufficient and divide ii in half. After the seeds have been scattered on the surface of the ground, they should be we'll raked In. This may be done by dragging n piece of brush over the ground The surface should be well smoothed It Is a good plan to SOW turnips just after a rain, giving them opportunity to sprout before crust forms. After sowing they win need little attention until harvest.

Where Small Quantity Of Alfalfa Is Fed in Connection With Oak Leaves the Animals Are Not Injured.

food leads them to cat the leaves in excessive amounts. In order to cause sickness. however, oak leaves must be eaten almost exclusively. If eaten with other feed, the animals are not injured. It has been found eXperi- mentally that as small a quantity as 8 pounds daily of alfalfa hay feed in connection with oak leaves prevented poisoning.
 Observations on the range and eX- perimental feeding both show that some cattle may eat oak leaves for q long time with no definite bad effects, and some will even eat them exclusive ly, with no harm. Generally speaking, those that are injured show the results only after eating n considerable quan- tity through rather prolonged period, usually from l6 to 35 days. The specialists point out that the oaks on many ranges furnish n most important element in summer feed when addi- tional sources of forage are available. but they urge that care be exercised during the spring that cattle be not admitted to summer range at too early date, for oak leaves are we'll ad- yanced before the appearance of the grasses.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 Every year when new hay begins to be marketed, reports from several cen tral western hay markets show that much of the new hay arriving is hot and out of condition, and must be sold at a heavy discount under the price quoted for No. 1 hay. There are a number of causes, but the bureau of markets and crop estimates of the United States Department of Agricul ture believes the principal one is that the hay is baled and shipped before 1t has cured sufficiently and while it contains too much moisture.
 Ealing Newly Cut Hay Is Risky.
 It is the custom in some sections to bale the hay from the windrow or cock in order to avoid the expense of stacking or putting in the mow. It Is almost always true that the first new hay shipped to the various mark cts is baled in this way. In most of the timothy-producing sections weather conditions are such that it is not safe tV dlloN tiC nay to 'ohS III either the windrow or cock, if the best quality of hay is to be obtained. Local showers or heavy dews, followed by d hot sun, will soon cause it to bleach and deteriorate. It is, there fore. the practice to bale just as soon as. in the judgment of the producer or shipper. the hay can be safely shipped This is frequently entirely too soon for the conditions under which 1t Is marketed.
 The movement of hay from dry to humid section. or from q cool to warmer one, increases the proba- bility of heating. Tight baling and close packing in the cars are con tributing causes. and apply to alfalfa and prairie hay as well as to timothy. Higher Prices Invite Early Shipment.
 The easiest way to avoid the losses caused by hay getting out of condition Is not to ship new hay until 1t has gone through the sweat" and becomes properly cured in the mow or stack. The premiums usually offered for early shipments of new hay are very in viting. however The first new hay, if in good condition, often sells near the price of old hay which. as the sea son draws to n close, is frequently

SERUM DOES NOT ELIMINATE
Expected Through Use of This Modern Treatment

Some persons think that the use of hog cholera serum has become SO general that We are far on the way toward the elimination of the disease. but, according to the United States Department of Agriculture a cleanup of cholera can not be expected through the use of this method. Besides. only n small percentage of the hogs in the country are treated each year and there Is also almost a complete turn over of the swine population each year. Every F months we start with new lot of pigs and the fight against disease must start at the beginning again.
 About 5oo,o0o00 cubic centimeters of serum are used every year. which means that counting 90 cubic centi- meters for each hog, only about To- oO00Oo hogs are treated In recent years there have been around 70,OOo,- GOO hogs in the country on January I, according 10 federal crop estimators, which means many more hogs In the spring and summer. If all these hogs were treated cholera would not be eliminated. It would simply be made impotent to kill many hogs for one season and would begin to kill again the next season if serum were not used. Serum treatment, like insur- ance, can not be allowed to lapse.

high. The new hay is heavier, too, and the shipper profits from the sale of the water in it, even though 1t sells below the price of old hay. The chance of getting these premiums causes many shippers to take the risk of the losses that continually occur. It is very doubtful however. if the premiums equal the losses during the first week or two of the movement.
 While the shipment of new hay is not advised until 1t Is cured so as to contain not more than 14 or l5 per cent moisture. few suggestions are offered by the Department of Agriculture. which. if followed, will tend to elimi-

The ram needs grain for several weeks before and during the breeding season. At least pound day of equal parts of oats and bran should be fed, together with good quality al- falfa or clover hay. Do not keep him closely confined, but allow him access to pasture. Avoid heavy feeding of silage or roots during the breeding season.

The reason for this strange phenome-

men. The little agricultural labor re
quired for the poor acres of the sur

women. The men Of Champery are
therefore compelled to look for work

ago investigated prospects for grow
ing beets in western Nevada for

pany.
Directors of the company were
well pleased with the report he re-
turned, said Mr.. Hubbard in a let

Of. the company. Mr.. Hubbard ex-
poets to return for the winter for
the purpose of contracting acreage
and recognizing the business, he

A number of test plots of sugar
beets in various parts of Nevada
showed no evidence of the de-
structive insect, which in 1921
caused the loss of the larger por-
ton of the crop. Tests of the
beets showed the usual high sugar
content peculiar to this country.
The results of these test plots had
considerable bearing upon the out
look for beet crop next year, it
was said.
