'eYellowing1 Cuts Deeply
Into Alfalfa Production

"Yellowing" is one Of the most serl-
Gus .roubles of the alfalfa grower. In
the East, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. it Is respon-
sible for a greater reduction in yield
every year than any of the diseases or
insects. In the past few years 1t has
been observed in the West. but in the
rest of the country it has been known
almost as long as the crop has been
grown on commercial scale.
Although the cause Of syellowine
has never been deiniteIs determined,
it has been attributed to number Of
unfayorable conditions. In some cases
II has been thought that soil conditions
were responsible, as the same sytnp-
toms occur In the absence Of sufficient
lire, plant food. or drainage. But 1t
also occurs where all these conditions
are favorable, as Is shown By the quick
recovery Of the plants after the old
growth has been cut. When the cause
Is lack Of lime. food. Or drainage the
plants die soon alter cutting.
The treatment recommended for
'yellowlng' is cutting Of the fields re-
gardless of the stage Of development
Of the plants The new growth gen
orally comes along normally.

Fall Calving Desirable
on Many Dairy Farms

Under most conditions on tie dairy
farm, says the Department of AgricuI-
ture fall calving is desirable. The calf
receives milk for the first few months
of its life. and when 1t is ready to be
weaned from this food good suceulent
pasture Is available During the win
ter it has learned to eat grain and
ropghage while II has been getting
whole milk, skim milk, or milk substl-
tutes, and when grass comes It can
mike the change without getting a set
back There is another advantage In
fall calving, as the COW gives the
largest flow Of milk Mt the season when
prices are usually the highest. Also
calves are at the right age so that II
wen developed they may be bred to
calve in the fall From the standpoint
of profits on milk. local conditions.
such as cost Of feed and price of milk
in different seasons, should have con

In making plans for summer feed

is not unusual to find almost every

In the choice Of the variety to plant
It is we'll to choose the later maturing
sorts such as Country Gentleman and
Evergreen. The earlier varieties will

need for them in dairy feeding. The
earlier varieties of sweet corn are
lacking in stalk and leaf as compared
with the larger and later sorts.

GoosebesTy pies and tarts are de
licious; just plain canned berries may
be used at any time and when they
are fresh and in season they are very
appetizlng.
Prepare n baked shell and just be-
fore serving I'LL with the following:
To three cupfuis Of gooseberries, add
one and one-fourth cupfuls of water
and one cupful of sugar. Cook until
soft. add the yolks OF two eggs, two
tablespoonfuls of flour and little
sugar to blend the flour; cook until
smooth. Cool and pour into the pastry
shell and cover with a meringue made
with the whites Of the eggs and six
tablespoonfuls Of sugar Bake until
the neringue is brown. Less sugar
may be used in the meringue and half
dozen marshmallows added, making
a very pretty top to the pie.
cooseberry Bar le Due.-Head and
tall six pounds Of gooseberries. add
four pounds Of sugar and enc pint of
vinegar. Cook for 20 minutes and add
four more pounds Of sugar. Continue
cooking for 45 minutes, or until thick.

the nuts and beat until creamy and
cool enough to use as filling.
cooseberry Jam.-weigh the pre-
pared berries, adding three tablespoon

carefully following a few Instructions.
Not all Of the pavement need be built
at one time. A strip 20 feet wide is
enough for beginning. Additional
strips can be added as desired.
Plan for Paving.
In paving feeding yard with con-
crete, first grade the site so that It is
practically level. If the drainage is
not good, drain tile should be laid A
sub-base. Of several inches Of gravel or
cinders is sometimes advantageous
The concrete should be mixed IN the
proportion Of Part Of cement, 2
parts of sand and 3 of pebbles or
broken stone. A thickness of four
inches is the allowable minimum and
five or six inches is safer, especially
where heavy loads are likely to be put
on the floor. The surface should be
made to slope toward one corner, with
pitch Of not more than one-fourth-
inch per foot, and 1t should be finished
with a wood-foat, which leaves a grit
-ty surface that can be easily cleaned,
yet affords a firm footing for the stock.
After the concrete has been laid 1t
should not be used for at least two or
three weeks.
The following table shows the
amount Of materials required to build
pavements Of various areas. using one
two-three mix and thickness of four
inches:
