Little to Be Gained by
Cultivation of Alfalfa

SO long as the stand is satisfactory
and the plants are making good
growth there is little to be gained by
cultivating alfalfa, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
slight increase in yield is sometimes
obtained by such treatment, but ex-
periments have shown that it is not
ordinarily enough to pay the addition
al cost, and the life of the stand is
prolonged but little, If any.
Under certain conditions, however,
cultivation of this crop may be worth
while. Where irrigation waters leave
a crust of silt on the fields the use
Of the harrow to break it up seems
advisable. Also where irrigated al
falfa is pastured it is sometimes a
good practice to use harrow to
loosen up the soil, especially if it IS
heavy-teXtured. When weeds and
grass threaten to choke out the al
falfa the life of the stand may pc
profitably prolonged for year or two
by narrowing.
The best implement for this purpose
is the alfalfa harrow, which is a modi-
fication of the spring-tooth harrow.
The spike-tooth harrow may be used
on the lighter soils, but is of little use
on the heavy soils. The disk harrow
is very liable to prove injurious.

PROPAGATE RASPBERRY BUSH
Stalking Up Canes and Pinching Back
Tips in Midsummer is Deemed
Best Practice.

Young raspberries are propagated by
the tips dropping over on the ground
and taking root. These sucker plants
are not to be desired, If the maxi
mum fruiting ability of the canes is
to be preserved. Stalking up the
canes and pinching back the tips in
midsummer when the canes are about
three to three and one-half feet high is
the best practice 1t encourages a stur-
der cane which will stand erect Of it's
own accord, and also encourages the
growth of lateral or side branches on
which next seasons fruit is borne.
These side or lateral branches must
not be allowed to grow too long any
more than the main branches. They,
too, will drop over on the ground and
take root, if given the opportunity. We
cut these back about one-half their
growth in the spring while still DOR
mant. This gives us good quality fruit.
Canes trained up and kept OFF the
ground will send their energy in the
proper direction-towards sturdy cane
9AO"th anu ldlCl tOWdIuS
rather than along the line Of reproduc-
ton. An orderly berry patch cannot
be maintained where natures course"
is allowed to hold sway, and suckering
of the canes must be prevented.
Stalking up the canes can be done
some rainy day, or will be nice task
for the children.

Certified Seed
Increases Yield
Favorable Results Obtained
by Potato Growers Should
Encourage General Use.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
While there has been an increasing
tendency on the part of potato produc-
ers to use certified seed during the
last few years, the favorable results
that have been obtained from the use
of such seeds should encourage much
more general use of certified seed,
says the United States Department OF
Agriculture. A number of states are
now producing certified seed and
have records showing the comparative
yield from certified fields with the
average yield of the state. In New
York state yields for ordinary fields
averaged 1O3 bushels an acre, while
the certified fields yielded 223 bushels
an acre. In Minnesota the yield in
favor of the certified seed, over that
of the ordinary fields, was 60 bushels
an acre, and in Pennsylvania certified
fields yielded 366 bushels while the
ordinary fields produced only 100
bushels an acre. Reports from other
states show similar increase in yield
from the certified fields in comparison
to the average of the state.
Decided Improvement.
Certified seed sent from Michigan
to several corn belt states for expert
mental and Unconstitutional tests in
1921 showed a decided improvement
In yield over the local seed. In Iowa
the increase in yield secured from this
Michigan certified seed was 61.2 bush
els, in Indiana 81 fields showed an in
crease of SO bushels, in Illinois 81
fields yielded A bushels increase,
while in Ohio, where the great part
of the acreage of the state is planted
with certified seed, the increase due to
the Michigan seed was only 2.6 bush
els. In two tests conducted in Della
ware the Michigan certified seed aver
aged 68h bushels more an acre than
homegrown seed.
Good Season for Both.
Last season was good one for both
producers and buyers of certified seed.
The large production of certified seed
has brought the price so low that al
though reports show that a premium
of so to $50 per cent is being paid
for certified stock the grower is at
least getting a little profit out of his
work, while the buyer is able to buy
this seed at q reasonable cost.

Eradicate Weed Plants
by Preventing Growth

There is only one way to eradicate
noxious perennial plants such as wild
morning glories or pea vine growths,
or whatever kind they may be; and
that is to prevent them from making
any leaf growth during the last half
Of summer, or after about July /.
Whatever method you find most con-
venient for doing this will be the most
practical method for you to apply.
Some such plants can be eradicated
by pasturing the last half of summer
other methods are to keep the land
cultivated the last half Of summer, or
to keep them cut down with hoe
when in some cultivated crop, such as
corn; another method is to smother
with straw or by growing some rank
growing crop; another Is to keep the
land moved close to the ground fire.

Best to Dehorn Calves
When but Few DAYS Old

Dehorning young calves is best done
when the calf is few days old. Clip
the hair with pair of shears where
the horn will appear. Rub the button
with caustic potash until the dead
layer of the skin comes off and it is
about ready to bleed. The end Of the
stick of caustic potash that you apply
to the horn should first be moistened
and the stick reld with a cloth so as
not to burn the hand
If for any reason the operation has
been delayed for several weeks the
button can be cut off with sharp
knife and the caustic potash applied
to kill It, This will kill the horn, but
it is better to do 1t before the calf is
a few weeks old.

Horticultural
Points
SET STRAWBERRY IN SPRING
II Planted in Summer They May Suffer
From Dry Weather-FalI Sec
ond Best Time.

Early spring, while the ground Is
still moist, is considered the best time
for setting strawberry plants, say the
fruit men at the New York state col
lege at Ithaca. They may be set any
time during the spring, summer, or
early fall, but best results are usually
obtained from early-spring planting.
Those set late in the spring or summer
are likely to suffer from dry weather.
Even though moisture conditions are
favorable, it is usually impossible to
get as good stand of vigorous, we'll
developed plants when other than
early-spring planting is practiced.
Setting plants in the fall under ia
vorable winter conditions may succeed.
The main objections to fall planting
are that the plants may dry out before
becoming established in the soil, thus
necessitating the filling Of the va
cancies in the spring, and also that,
unless carefully mulched, there may be
winter injury. With fall planting,
moreover, the plants have to go
through two winters before fruiting,
thus doubling the likelihood of dam
age by winter injury. Fall-set plants,
further, need more or less hand hoeing
IN the spring, to loosen the soil near
the plants and to rid the field Of
weeds; this cannot be done success
fully with a cultivator.
Most successful growers agree that
early-spring planting is to be preferred
to planting at any other season.

Lack of Cleanliness Is
Cause of Calf Disorders

Nearly all disorders or diseases of
calves. says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, are caused either
directly or indirectly by lack of clean
liness Filth, whether it Is in feed,
pens, bedding, or pals and utensils, is
dangerous to the health Of the calf.
To be on the safe side use nothing
but clean milk (sweet or sour), scald
the pals or sterilize them with steam,
remove old feed from the boxes and
clean them daily. Filth and dirt are
the natural breeding places of many
bacteria that will cause disturbances
in the young animals stomach. Free
dom from filth usually means freedom
from disease.

Ear Tag System Is
Practical for Flocks
Especially Used for Identi-
Tying Each Individual.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
An ingenious and simple method of
marking farm breeding animals has
been used successfully with sheep for
eight years by Cooper Curtice of. the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at the farm of the bureau of ami
NAL industry near Vienna, Va. The
system is especially adapted for identi-
flying quickly the extent of pure blood
of individuals in herds and tlockS being
improved with purebred sires. Each
animal is labeled with an aluminium
tag bearing a number. Females are
labeled on the right ear; males on the
left. The young are given the dams
number preceded by Cor by 10 if the
dams number is digital number) if
it is the first young born; preceded by
2 if the second born, and so on.
This system is quite practical for
farm flocks Of sheep of less than 100
head, and for cattle. If purebred
sire is being used to grade up herd
or flock of nondescript females, the
system affords a very good ever-pres-
ent record of the grade of animals
obtained, For example,, The first
born young Of female No. % will be
marked 125. Animal No. 125 is one
half grade. The young of 125 will be
come 1925, and will be three quarters
grade. No. 11125 will be seven-eighths,
and No. Hips, fifteen-sixteenths. To
illustrate further: No. 1925 is the
third young Of the first young Of %
and three-Quarters grade.
When there is no longer space for
additional figures on the label, the
sixth or seventh generation may be
marked with letters following the num-
Der of the original dam. Applied to
female No. 25, the young of the sixth
generation may be marked 25A; next
generation, 25B, and so ON. If desired,
the sire number may be placed on the
reverse side of the label.
This method of identifying animals
may be used in conjunction with an
ear-notching system, which further
Identifies them. A good ear-nOtching
plan enables the owner to replace,
with assurance as to correct identity.
any ear tags that may be lost.

Pigs Are Benefited by
Allowance of Charcoal

Pigs are always benefited by hav-
ing frequent access to charcoal. TIE
following method of preparing char
coal is very satisfactory: A mass OF
cobs are raked together and set on
fire. When the cobs are burning
briskly oats are poured over the fire
until it is all but smOthered. In
short time the oats will be well black
ened. The fire should then be put
out by scattering the burning cobs.
The cobs may continue burning but
the fire in the oats will quickly die
out. When cold the pigs should he
allowed free access to The burned
oats. They will greedily search out
every particle.

MAKING APPLE ORCHARD PAY
Fertilization Is Essential to Profitable
Returns and Nitrogen Is
Big Factor.

The results of experiments in ten
bearing apple orchards extending
through period of six years clearly
demonstrates the fact that fertiliza-
ton is essential to profit taking and
that nitrogen is by far the most potent
factor in maintaining production. In
some cases better results follow it's
combination with phosphorus while
potash has not shown any value.
