PERMANENT SOIL FERTILITY
Use Limestone and Phosphate and
PIow Under Green Manure,
Especially Glover.

Produce your own nitrogen for fer
tility instead of buying it. Do this
by using limestone and phosphate and
by blowing under green manure, espe-
cialIy sweet clover, red clover or win
ter vetch. This is the basis Of the
Illinois system of permanent soil fer
tility. A. L. Whiting and w. r.
Schoonover, at the Illinois station,
found that such crops plowed under in
April or May decompose with sufficient
rapidity so that their nitrogen becomes
available for corn or other crops the
same year. Temperature and moisture
determine the time when. nitrate pro-.
duction in the soil will take place. The
amount of nitrate that can be pro-
duced in the soil depends upon soil
treatment. The decomposing sweet or
red clover may furnish as high as 90
pounds of nitrate nitrogen per acre, or
twice as much as corn may take up in
its critical growing period between
June 25 and July Is. "Stable manure
does not furnish nitrate so rapidly nor
in such large amounts as green ma
nure, and should be applied as near
as possible to corn planting time.

GARBAGE FED SUCCESSFULLY
District of Columbia Poultry Farm
Reports Excellent Results From
Waste Material.

A poultry farm in the District OF
Columbia which handles about 1000
fowls reports excellent results from
the use Of well-selected garbage. This
material is hauled twice a day and
fed to the birds about ten o'clock In
the morning and again during the
middle Of the afternoon so that the
table scraps are fed fresh only two
or three hours after they are discard
ed from the kitchen. The feeding
method of this poultryman is to scat
ter the garbage on the grass in such
quantities that the fowls will clean up
all the refuse. He rotates these feed
ing spots in such way that no con-
tamination results. The outstanding
feature of the success of this poultry
man is centralized in his painstaking
selection of the garbage and the elm
nation of all Objectionable material
Profitable returns have resulted
also from the feeding of garbage to
fattening cockerels and old hens. A
small flock of turkeys is maintained
on this farm and the gobblers gobble
their way to a front line position
when garbage lunch time rolls around.
The turkeys keenly relish the table
scraps and abandon tender grasshop-
pers and succulent alfalfa in order
to scamper to the feeding spots when
the garbage wagon approaches.

The freezing points of a large va
riety of vegetables and fruits, which
are likely to be subjected to freezing
conditions during harvesting, handling,
or marketing, have beer the object Of
special studies in the bureau of plant
industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Between $4,000

made, including the freezing points of
% varieties of apples, % kinds Of
strawberries, 10 varieties Of potatoes,
10 different types of sweet potatoes,
10 tomato varieties, and many varie-
ties of cherries, grapes, peaches,

PREP AIRING FUEL

Power Saws Enable Farmer to
Utilize His Own Wood Lot With
Very Little Expense.
GASOLINE ENGINE IS USEFUL
Coal Dealers Are Finding 1t Difficult
to obtain Sufficient supply for

A man, by taking thought, can grow
a good tree in a lifetime, but it re-
CURED all the inscrutable forces in
natures laboratory, working for ages
and ages to make the coal which we
now use so generously to run our mills
and railroads, to heat our dwellings
and drive our ships. By the exercise
Of care and foresight the farmer can
assure himself Of supply of wood,
but when the supply of coal is gone
it will be gone forever.
Easier to Use Coal.
The large amount of labor required
in preparing firewood for the stove
has kept many farmers from using
wood for fuel. 1t has been much
easter to drive in to the nearest coal
dealer and draw home few tons of
fuel already prepared for the stove.
Thia winter, with coal touching top
prices, the coal dealers are finding 1t
difficult to obtain a supply sufficient
for all their customers. Some of these
customers must use coal, for the rea-
sen that wood is even harder for them
to get; but the farmer with wood
lot is not in this class, and he will find
y profitable to see how far modern
machinery can replace the expensive
hand labor in filing the shed with
home grown fuel.
A gasoline engine is a convenient
farm-power unit. This machine will
furnish the energy for operating the
wood-sawing machines and will earn
its original price long before it has
been worn out. The greater the
length in which the wood can be cut
and handled the less will be the cost
Of getting up the fuel supply. A
power saw will make a cut much more
quickly and economically than a man
can make it with an ak. If good
sIzidway is built so that heavy poles
and logs can be rolled up to the table
of the saw, it will save good many
minutes with incorporated crosscut
saw or the slower ak. When the wood
Is being cut for the market it is usu-
ally cut into four-foot lengths, but
such lengths are not necessary when
the object is to get a supply of split
wood for the farm kitchen and
Chunks" for the big stove or furnace
There is always an element of dan
ger about a saw table that cannot be
entirely eliminated by any safety de-
vices yet on the market. The careful
farmer will have these devices put on
his saw, but he will take the addi-
tional precaution of keeping his hands
and loose pieces of wood away from
the moving saw blade. It never pays

WEED SEED An SCREENINGS
Feed for Chickens Should Be Cracked
Up So That terminating Power
Is Destroyed.

In many cases weeds are spread
about the farms due to the failure of
farmers to grind screenings that are
to be fed to chicks. Screenings for
chicks are valuable as feed, but they
often contain many seeds Of noxious
weeds. Unless the seed is cracked up

spoiled trouble results. In one case
they found that wild oats, common
mustard, ragweed, corn cookie, Euro
pean vetch and cowherb resulted from
the use of whole screenings. Not only
need the screenings be ground, but they
ought to be watched, as often they
contain poisonous weeds such as corn
cookie seeds.

Winter killing Is the chief source of
loss in the bee industry Of Wisconsin.
The average winter losses for the en-
tire state are from 10 to 20 per cent,
and sometimes run as high as 30 per
cent; and beekeepers have reported
losses as high as so per cent in apiaries
Of more than 100 colonies.
Successful wintering with very little
loss is possible when a proper temporal
ture is maintained during storage,
when liberal quantity of good stores
Is provided and when the bees used for
wintering are Of the right age.
Winter care Of bees, according to HI.
F. Wilson of the agricultural staff of
the University of Wisconsin, covers
three distinct periods. The first, or
fall period, extends from about Sep
TENDER 1 to November 20 and is the
period Of getting the bees ready for
winter.
1t is important, at this time, to see
that every colony has young queen
not more than two years old, whose
maximum egg-laying period has not
been reached; to provide plenty of
good stores and allow the bees to ar
range their own brood nest; to have
the bees well protected and sheltered
from the prevailing winds, and to do
all feeding before the. first Of Noyem-
Der, before cold nights prevail.
During the second, or winter period,
November 20 to March q, the bees
may be expected to remain in the
hives without flight and should not be
disturbed except under extreme condi-
tons. Those in storage should be in

Fully 100000 baby chicks from state
accredited hatcheries were marketed
in Wisconsin during the past year.
these chicks were all from stock
which had been Inspected by repre-
sentatives Of the state department of
markets. The stocks had been found
free from disease and reasonably good
in reproducing qualities. Over 300
flocks supplying eggs to 20 hatcheries
were inspected and the birds below the
standards set by the state for breeding

absolute darkness and the temperature
Of the bee cellar held at a constant
range of 45 to so degrees Fahrenheit.
Excessive amounts of moisture will
not be apparent if the proper temporal
lures are maintained. Ventilation of
the bee cellar is likely to do more
harm than good.
The third or spring period is from
March 20, or the time when the bees
are set out, until about the middle OF
May. This is the period for rebuilding
the loss of colony strength caused by
winter conditions.
To insure greater success place the
bees in location where they will pos
itively be protected from direct wind.
Provide some kind of windbreak. Ii
colonies of maximum strength are de-
sired at the beginning of the honey
flow, provide every colony with some
outside covering or packing as soon
as the bees are put on their summer
stands. Provide every colony with
more stores than you think it can use
during April and May. If you do not
have combs of honey, feed sugar strip.
Give 40 to so pounds because, as rule,
ten to twenty pounds is about half
enough. The strong colony will need
from rs TO 100 pounds of stores to
build up during the spring, and if the
bees cannot get it in the field the bee
keeper must supply it.
Bees must have brooding room and
the beekeeper who has swarms in May
should not be proud Of the fact, for it
is a sure sign of neglect in one way or
another.

Proper drainage of barnyards, pad

In carrying on experimental work in
swine breeding the United States
Department Of Agriculture has found
the use of wire partitions in farrow-
ing houses undesirable and is replae-
ing them with solid wooden divisions
about 80 inches high. The wire-fenc-
ing partitions permit drafts, which are
bad for the comfort and health of the
young pigs. Open partitions also per-
nit sows to notice anything going on
in adjoining pens, which often causes
them to become nervous and irritable,
and sometimes to try to fight each
other. Sows at farrowing time must
be kept as quiet as possible.
