COMPOSITION OF PRESS CAKE
Dry Material Produced in Manufac-
ture Of Sugar Beets Good
for Lining Soils.

The dry material of the filter press
cake produced in the process of manu-
featuring beet sugar consists largely
of calcium carbonate, according to the
findings of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and undoubtedly
affords satisfactory material for
lining soils. 1t also contains compara-
lively small quantities Of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, potash and organic
material

GOOD TREATMENT OF
LEGUMES is NEEDED
Alfalfa and Clover Insist on
Plenty Of Lime in Soil.
Type Of Material to Use Is the One
That Gives the Most Calcium Car.
Donate or Its Equivalent of
Proper Fineness.

Legumes. since they are such val
liable part of agriculture, have a right
to demand, as they do, that conditions
for their growth shall be as they want
them. That alfalfa and red clover, for
example, insist on fair supply of
lime in the soil, is pointed out by the
New York state agricultural college
at Ithaca.
Ii the soil contains limestone, is neu-
trail, or even slightly acid, no lime need
be added, but if the soil is very sour,
lime should be put on before seeding
red clover. Where clover fails fire.
quently or does not thrive and pro-
duce a good crop. lime is usually nee
essary, and should be applied every
time clover is seeded at the rate Of
one ton or more per acre in the form
of limestone, or its equivalent in other
forms.
Three forms of lime are in general
use: Limestone, .hydrated" lime, and
burned or quicklime, together with
smaller quantities Of mari and, oyster
shells.
The form Of lime to use is the one
that gives most calcium carbonate, or
its equivalent, of proper fineness,
spread on the land for each dollar
paid out for lime, freight and labor
Of hauling and spreading.
For red clover it is usually not nee
essary to neutralize the acidity fully.
Alsike stands more acidity, while vetch
and white clover, peas and field beans,
are still more resistant to soil acidity.
Soy beans respond to conditions IA
vorable to red clover. Alfalfa and
sweet clover need more lime than does
red clover, and it is desirable to know
something of the lime content of the
subsoil down to 20 to 80 inches below
the surface.

COB MEAL INFERIOR TO CORN
Cattle With Large Digestive Systems
Seem to Appreciate Ground
Cobs.

Hogs are not nearly so well adapted
to handling the cobs which are con-
tanned in corn and cob meal as are
cattle. Cattle with their large diges-
tive systems oftentimes seem to APP
preciate the ground cobs in corn. and
cob meal. Any addition of crude
fiber to the fattening of hog ration,
however, seems to be positive handi-
cap. Experiments at the Iowa sta
ton indicate that corn and cob meal
is inferior both to shelled corn and
to ear corn for fattening hogs.

TURKEYS RAISED FOR PROFIT
Purehred, Healthy Stock Is to Be Pre-.
ferred Always and Of the Large
Varieties.

Not very many Of us ever have
stopped to think of the possibilities
in raising turkeys for profit. Pure
bred healthy stock is to be preferred
always, and of the large varieties,
birds that. bring down the scales to
more than the required standard for
the large breeds. For the large type
birds, the price also is greater. The
purebred Bronze or Narragansett
turkeys are the largest breeds, and
are as easy as any to raise. The
Bourbon Reds also have become quite
popular, but are not quite SO large.

Do NOT MAKE GOOD MOTHERS
Neither Geese nor Duck Hens Like to
Sit on Egos-WeIl to Make
Use of Incubator.

Neither geese nor duck hens make
very good mothers, and sometimes
ducks refuse to make nests or to sit
at all. For this reason it is well to
have an Enclosure for ducks, and to
keep them confined each morning until
after the eggs are laid. The eggs
should be incubated with a chicken
hen or in incubators. The chicken
hens will give them much better care
than their natural mothers would.

FORESTS NOT LAND PROBLEM
Not Only Should Best Soils Be Used

Intensively Managed.

In its larger aspects forestry is not
merely land problem but an agricul.
tural problem, says Col. William B.
Greeley in the annual report of the
forest service. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Not only should
lands best suited to forests be used
for forests but these forests should
be intensively managed, as farms are
