former owner had ignorantly tried to
drain off. Now, every farmer will not
find oil on his farm, but he will gain
far more by looking to the conserva-
ton of home sources of fertility than
by cherishing what every thoughtful
person must admit is a rather vain
hope, at least in the near future, OF
cheaper fertilizer from Muscle Shoals.
There is no actual guarantee OF
cheaper fertilizer in the Ford offer or
any other offer, and the golden glow
Of vague and indefinite promises bears
a striking resemblance to the pot of
gold at the end Of the rainbow. And
mark thisl There is lost every year,
through careless handling of farm
manure, by Wisconsin farmers 6ndl
dairymen, fully as much nitrogen as
can be produced in the same length OF
time at Muscle Shoals.
Think of it! twenty-five millionsI
of dollars worth of fertility wasted In
Wisconsin every year. BY protecting
from the rains by storing in such a
manner as to minimize loss by
fermentation, and by spreading manure
as soon as it is hauled to the fields
instead of distributing it first in piles,
this loss will to a large extent be
eliminated.
If Badger farmers will conserve
properly barnyard manure and will
grow sufficient legumes in the rota-
tion nitrogen requirements of our
soils will be taken care of without
buying nitrogen from Muscle Shoals
or anywhere else; the potassium in
manure and in soil win usually take
care of the potash requirements. The
general and dairy farmer needs to
buy only phosphate and ground lime
stone to supplement home-produced
fertilizers to insure cheaper produc-
ton as well as the present and future
productiveness of his soil, a condition
essential not only to the prosperity Of
the farmer, but of everyone whose
prosperity depends, either directly or
indirectly, upon a prosperous agrcul-
ture, and that includes us all.

FEED TO FATTEN LIVE STOCK
Figures Based on Investigations Made
by Department of Agriculture
on Big Lots.

How much feed does it take to fat
ten carload of cattle, hogs, or sheep?
Here are some figures based on investi-
cations by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
six hundred bushels of corn and IT
tons Of hay will fatten $50 lambs
weighing 80 pounds each and make
them weigh so pounds. This will
make one double-deck CARLOAD.
Four hundred and fifty bushels Of
corn and 2,750 pounds of tankage or
fish meal will fatten 70 hogs averaging
100 pounds, to 200 pounds, making one
carload.
One thousand one hundred bushels
of corn, 10 tons Of alfalfa hay, and 5
tons of straw will fatten 20 steers
averaging $50 pounds making them
gain 325 pounds each in $50 days. This
is an average carload.

Of Recent Origin.

with simple grain growing and live
stock Judging contests. Today it has
developed into every phase Of farm
industry and thousands of young
people in every state are now actively
engaged in the production of all crops
and live stock. Fundamental business
principles associated with farming are
taught by the requirement of accurate
records of all work. In 1922 there
were 10000 farm boys and girls in
America. Nearly 1000 of this number
are enrolled in Holstein clubs, accord
ing to the records of the Holstein-
Friesian Association of America.
Strides by Calf Clubs.
The great strides made by dairy calf
clubs was especially noticeable during
the past show season. At least 1900
boys and girls owned dairy calves

How many bushels of potatoes, pecks
Of carrots, or pounds Of cabbage year
are required by the average family p
is a question often asked by people
who are planning home garden. Most
people simply plan a garden, putting
in it a little Of everything, too much
of some things, and too little Of other
things, having slight regard to the
actual needs Of the family and the
balancing of the food supply. The re-
quirements of all families will not be
the same, SO probably no two gardens
would be exactly alike.
Vegetables Required.
It is a safe principle to lay down,
however, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, that the aver
age family requires certain amount
Of such standard vegetables as pota-
toes, onions, beets, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage, corn and tomatoes, and, In
addition to this, fairly liberal supply
Of the crops used for green's. including
spinach, kale, collards in the South,
Swiss chard, lettuce and number of
others. Workers in home economics and
dietetics have found that variety in
vegetables is as important from the
standpoint Of health and taste as
variety in meats or any other kind of
food.
The likes and dislikes of the various
ynopahnrc IF tho family should he taken
into consideration in planning the gar
den. 1t is necessary to determine the
number of meals during the year at
which any given vegetable is to be
served. The next step is to determine
the actual quantity in the green state
of the particular vegetable required by
each member of the family and make a

shorts, 10 pounds; ground barley or
ground oats, 10 pounds; meat meal, 10
pounds; bone meal, 5 pounds.
The growing mash should be kept
before young pullets at all times I'M

The young cockerels should be sep
arated from the pullets when they
weigh from Ia to pounds, and those
not needed for breeding stock should
be fattened and marketed. Early
Matched cockerels, marketed early in
the season, are usually better paying
proposition than when they are kept
until 4 or pounds and sold on
a lower market. The young pullet
should be given every opportunity to
develop, as she needs a vigorous body
of strong constitution and vitality for
heavy egg production. She will not

SMALLEST AND LARGEST BEE
Combs of Pigmy Honey Collectors Are
No Larger Than Hand of u
Little Child.

The smallest honey bees in the world
are found in East Indian islands and
on the mainland of Hindustan; the
largest are in Hindustan.
The combs Of the pigmy honey col
lectors are no larger than a childs
hand, and the cells are about the size
of a small pinbead. Honey and wax
are alike. excellent. The little crea-
lures build combs on the branches of
low trees. AS they do not have to
provide for winter, they work all the
year through, raising broods like them
selves.
The giant bees of India are as large
as field crickets. These monsters of
the bee world build combs from six to
seven feet in height and four feet or
more in width. Each weighs from 800
to 400 pounds.

METHOD OF oILING HARNESS
Most Satisfactory Plan to Take Apart
and Wash Each Piece in
Soft Warm Water.

The most satisfactory method Of
cleaning and oiling harness is to take
the harness apart and wash each
piece in warm soft water with CASTLE
or other mild soap and a stiff brush,
and then rinse in warm clean water
and allow to dry for a short time.
While still damp it should be oiled
with neat's-foot oil or good harness oil
and allowed to dry overnight, when
all excess oil should be wiped off. For
heavy work harness, it is perhaps bet
ter to mix the neat's-foot oil with
tallow or wool grease to make a mix
ture of the consistency Of soft butter.

OWNERS FAVOR BETTER SlRES
Records Show More Than 5000 En-
rolled in Better Sires-Better
Stock" Campaign.

Records Of the bureau Of Animal in
dustry show, early in 1923, a total
of 9,116 live stock owners enrolled In
the Better Sires-Better Stock" cam
paign conducted by various states and
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture to improve the quality Of
domestic animals. Each of these per-
sons has filed with the department
written agreement to use purehred
sires Of good quality for all classes of
live stock kept. The number of breed
ing animals owned by the persons en-
rolled now exceed 100000 head, and
marked improvement in the stock is
reported from time to time. Depart
ment records show clearly that the use
Of purebred sires stimulates also the
use Of purebred female live stock and
brings about gradual improvement with
each generation.

KEEP ALL POULTRY HEAL THY
Wise PouItryman Keeps House Clean
and Well Ventilated Disinfectant
Is Useful.

Every poultry raiser knows that
fowls thrive best In clean, well ventf-
lated places. BY keeping the houses,
rocsts, nests and runways sprayed
with a concentrated I've solution you
will do a great deal toward promoting
good health and productiyeness among
your poultry.
Many Of the most successful poultry
raisers use this lye solution around
their poultry houses at least every
other week. The solution is made by
dissolving a small can of I've in five
gallons Of water. A sprinkling can,
hand spray, or an old whisk broom
may be used to apply the solution.

summary of all members of the family,
allowing a reasonable margin for COM
pany and losses. In this way the total
amount Of vegetables required can be
reasonably determined. The next step
is to divide this by the quantity pro-
duced on, say 100 feet Of row, and the
result will be the number of rows 100
feet in length required to furnish the
supply.
Garden Suggestions.
These are just suggestions as to how
the garden requirements of the family
can be figured out In all cases, how
ever, suitable allowance should be
made for the growing of crops to be
canned and stored for winter use. This
applies especially to peas, snap beans,
sweet corn, spinach and tomatoes.
Lima beans may be canned. but if dried
rapidly with stove heat while young,
they can be soaked in water and
cooked during the winter and are al
most as good as fresh beans from
the garden.
There are certain vegetables, how
ever, that cannot be kept as well
either dried or stored as canned, SO
plenty should be grown for canning.
The quantity, how ever, can all be
figured according to the actual require
ments of the family. Aside from max
ing due allowance for seasonal con-
ditions, the years supply of garden
vegetables for the average family can
be figured just about as closely as
can that Of bread and meat On the
whole, it is not desirable to have
very large surplus as 1t leads to waste
full methods in preparation. The idea
should be to produce just about the
right quantity and then use the supply
to the best advantage.

STUDY VARIETIES OF WHEAT
Endeavoring to Determine These Best
Adapted to Various Sections
of Country.

The agricultural experiment stations
of some 25 states are studying varie-
ties Of wheat to determine those best
adapted to the regions in which they
are located, according to reports to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Widely differing conditions are
included-the near-Arctic in Alaska
and the semitropical in Alabama,
Louisiana, and Georgia; mountain
fields in Pennsylvania and prairies Of
Kansas and Nebraska; lands under
cultivation for many years as In Vir-
ginia and New York, and practically
virgin soils in some Of the Western
states.

FEEDING POTATOES TO STOCK
When Fed to Hogs They Should Be
Cooked and Only Moderate
Amount Given.

Potatoes are a good succulent food
when fed raw to cattle, sheep, horses
or poultry. If fed to hogs they should
be cooked. But only a moderate
amount should be fed. 1t would not
do to try and make potatoes half the
ration for calves or other stock. They
contain too much water for that. They
should be fed in moderate amounts In
connection with the hay and grain. #
would probably not be advisable to
feed more than ten pounds per day 90
each calf.

TREATMENT FOR CATTLE LICE
Application of Raw Lfnseed Oil Is
Recommended by Doctor Riley
of Wisconsin University.

Application of raw iinseed oil is
the most satisfactory treatment for
cattle infested with lice and other
parasites, says DR.. W. A. Riley, chief
of the division of entomology at the
University of Wisconsin. One pint Of
oil applied thoroughly with a brush or
rag will do for four or five cows. The
application should be especially thor
cugh on upper parts of the neck along
the back from the poll to the base of
the tail, the shoulder tops, and about
the folds of the udder and escutcheon,
for it is in these places that the lice
are the most abundant

Better Marketing Needed.

notwithstanding the fact that for
years Wisconsin has worked zealously
to stabilize the dairy industry by inn
proving methods of production, by per-
fecting processes Of manufacture, by
enforcing sanitary laws, and by devel-
oping refrigeration and transportation
facilities, dairying is not bringing sat
isfactory returns to the farmer. There
still remains the necessity and oppor-
tunity for the Improvement and devel-
opment Of merchandising program for
dairy products. The time has come
for the producer to realize a greater
cash return. Wisconsin is setting it.

A lazy hen is not well one.

A lazy hen is not well one.
Turkeys are profitable, but need q
lot Of care to get them started.
Moving layers from coop to coop
frequently checks egg production.
Turkeys can eat almost any kind Of
feed after they are three months old.
It is common knowledge that hens
and pullets should be out of doors as
much as possible during the winter.
Ordinarily. gander may be mated
with from oAe to four geese, although
nair or trio matings generally give
the best results. Wild ganders sell
dom mate with more than one goose.
Many breeders find it pays to fatten
broilers for week or ten days on
sloppy mash of sour milks and corn
meal.
Eggs kept fer Matching purposes
that are not set Immediately should
be turned at least once day and
they should be handled gently.
Raising early broilers simply means
starting the chicks as usual and fol
lowing with scratch grain and a
growing mash until nearly ready for

WHEN TO PASTURE ALFALFA
Light Pasturing the First Fall Would
Do No Harm, Especially If
Hogs Are Hinged.

It is best not to pasture alfalfa the
first year. Light pasturing the first
fall, especially If hogs were ringed,
will do no harm. Roofing would, Of
esurse, injure the stand. Close pas
turing would also as there would be
little or no winter protection.

ing state fairs All breeders associa-
tions are back of boys and girls be-
cause they are farsighted enough to
see the future results. For example,
the national Holstein-Friesian associa-
ton makes the Junior work big part
of it's extension program, and in 1922
gave over $500 in prizes and rib
bons. Bankers and other business men
are glad to loan money and offer
prizes for such work.
While all of this good work is go
ing on, fathers learn from their sons,
and wonder why someone did not give
them the same chance when they were
boys. In the past five years dairy calf
clubs have solved in great measure
the problem of "Why John Left the

DON'T FEED FOWLS HEAVILY
Poultry Being Prepared for Shipment
Should Not Have Large Amount
of Grain.

Don't feed heavily before shipping
and expect to get paid for the weight
of your feed. Heavy feeding Of birds
that are accustomed to range causes
digestive troubles in shipment, and
consequently large shrinkage in weight,
to say nothing of off-conditfon.

AIM TO CONSERVE MOISTURE
Cultivation Not Only Destroys Grass
and Weeds, but Keeps Soil in
Good Condition.

The average gardener too frequently
considers cultivation only as a means
of destroying grass and weeds. The
main function Of cultivation is to con-
serve moisture. A sell mulch should
be maintained on all ground not ac-
tually occupied by plants. And, If a
fall garden is expected, this process
should not be neglected after the har-
vesttng of vegetables begins, as is fire.
