TURK OIL MELON

New York-Wall street hears that
as result of many diplomatic con-

Turkish oil melon, at Mosul, in An

Fifty per cent of this rich oil field

since its passing as world power.
1t was first proposed that each ma

extent of 25 per cent. The Dutch
interests objected to yielding any part
of their holdings in the interest of in
ternational comfy and good will be-

British will contribute the largest
share to Standard oil Under this

the store crowded all day long with

A coal publication made this charge

mine owners in this city, the former
presented a resolution that the
charges be investigated, but the coal
owners refused to concur They said
the denial of the two members of the

Scarcity of Good Horses
leading to Better Care

r. w. Clark, specialist in live stock
at the Colorado Agricultural college,
gives some good advice to farmers con-
corning the care of mares. An extract
of his report follows:
The foaling season has arrived and
the mares should be carefully handled.
The demand for good heavy horses can
not be supplied and all good colts are
needed. Heavy straining and extremes
of exertion should be avoided. The
mare can work every day to nearly
foaling time If carefully handled and
fed.
The Golden Rule" put into opera
ton now will work wonders. At foal-
ing time the mare should be kept in a
clean, comfortable place, and as much
personal attention given as is possible
to give.
The colts navel should be treated
Immediately with disinfectant to pre-
vent infection and the mother fed care
fully and not put to work again too
soon. When put to work, she should
be allowed to take it easy

Pasture Is Considered
as Cheapest Swine Feed

The cost of gain on pig until he
weighs about 125 pounds determines
in large measure the profit, to be
made, say the live stock experts Hog
raisers can materially decrease this
cost by having sufficient green for
age available. Pasture is one of the
cheapest hog feeds. AS compared to
dry-lot feeding, the amount of grain
required to produce 100 pounds OF
pork may be reduced approximately
80 per cent by using good pasture.
Blue grass, spring grains, winter wheat
and winter rye are excellent pastures,
but are short-llved and are of little
value during the summer months. AL
falfa and sweet clover make the best
summer pasture. Rape is good sum-
mer pasture, and also a good fall pas
ture to be used in the corn field where
hogging down is practiced. Good hog
pasture means larger pork profits.

Small Roasting House
Suitable for Orchard
Injurious Insects are Picked
Up by Busy Fowls.

Fruit and poultry may be grown on
the same land at the same time by
running chickens in the orchard
writes Herbert A. Shearer in the Los
Angeles Times. Hens need some shade
and some sunshine and the orchard
provides both.
Fruit trees are benefited by the
droppings of poultry and the fruit
crop is larger because Of the added
fertilizer.
Insects that injure the trees, or the
fruit, or both, are picked up by the
fowls so the crop is benefited in this
way. So far as known there is no OBJ
lection to the plan except that pos
sibly there may be more work in keep
ing the hens diligently filling the egg
crates. 1t seems as though the hens
like their surroundings and try to en-
Joy life the same as small boys in a
city park on a holiday.
There may be another drawback
when fruit is falling because some

Immature Lambs
Are Not Wanted
Serious Danger of Cutting
Market With Low-Grade
Product.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrfculture.)
"Unless young and immature lambs
are kept at home for further develop
ment and finishing there is serious
danger of Cutting the market with a
l0w-grade product which can only re-
suit In severe price Declines" is the
warning sounded to shippers by the
Committee Of Trade Interests COM
posed of live stock commission men,
slaughterers, retailers, railroads,
stock-yard companies at Jersey City
and New York, eastern lamb produc-
ers, and the United States Department
of Agriculture, appointed last summer
to bring about sterilization of the
Jersey City lamb market.
Receipts Have Been Light.
The committee states that receipts
have been light since the market
movement of eastern lambs began in
May and that there is noticeable
tendency on the part of shippers to
market large percentage Of young
and Immature lambs because Of the
rather high prices which such lambs
have brought. These prices have infiu-
enced country shippers to pick lower
down in their flocks than usual, there
by. increasing the percentage of light
weight, immature lambs in the market
receipts, it is said.
Lower Prices Will Result.
Recent arrivals at Jersey City in
clude from 25 to 80 per cent of imma-
ture lambs, the reports show. Despite
q rather strong demand receipts from
western markets have been unusually
light and prices have shown CORE
spending strength. But If shippers
continue to send immature and other
wise inferior lambs to market during
the period when receipts are heavy,
sharp price declines will be inevitable,
the committee says.
Information received by the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicated a heavy
prospective movement of lambs from
eastern and southern territory to mar
ket during the latter part of June and
in July. This is the period when price
fluctuations are usually most severe,
the department says, due more to the
quality of the receipts than to the
volume, inasmuch as Jersey City and
New York usually can absorb all the
good lambs offered. Heavy receipts
generally include large percentage
Of inferior grades comprising "culls,'
light weight and 'bucky" lambs which
cannot be moved except at sacrii1ce,
and this in turn affects the market for
the better grades, it is pointed out.

Portable Hog House Is
Considered as Sanitary

The portable hoghouse largely
solves the problem of keeping hogs in
sanitary quarters. When large num-
Der of animals are continuously fed
in one building and fed in and around
this house all the time, the surround
ings are sure to become more or less
filthy and unsanitary at certain sea-
sons of the year. But by using the
portable houses they can be moved oc-
casionally to a fresh piece of ground
and unsanitary conditions avoided.
The portable houses can be used on
any sized farm, as the number Of
buildings should be regulated to the
size of the herd, so as to avoid any
crowding or piling up. For the renter
who does not find sufficient shelter on
the farm for his herd of swine, the
portable house is peculiarly advan-
tageous, since 1t can be readily moved
when he goes to another farm.

Cover Crops in Orchard
Not Easy to Get Started

In growing cover crops in an
orchard, the grower should be guided
in the choice of crops by his local con-
ditions and the age or size of the
trees. Where the ground is complete
ly shaded by the trees it is difficult in
many instances to obtain stand of
crops like vetch and clover 1t is less
so with alfalfa and rye. While alfalfa
has been the favorite crop with the
growers, it has one drawback which
should not be lost sight of. In the
first place. the grower is generally un-
willing to turn under a crop of alfalfa
and destroy the plants. He usually
permits the alfalfa to grow in the
orchard for several years. While the
alfalfa tends to stimulate tree growth
during the first two or three years, it
soon has bad effect upon fruit pro-
duction, and an orchard in bearing
should not be left in alfalfa for more
than three or four years.

Giant Turns Over Again.

The "Moodus noises" have been

underneath the Haddam hills, low

bed. Various theories have been adj
vanced to explain the phenomenon,

ton has been made.

Record of Cows Yield
Is of Much Importance

Pure bred dairy cattle breeders
should keep official records on every
COW in their herds. These records to
beginner may not seem valuable, but
later they will be worth many more
dollars than it will cost to get them.
Once a pail of milk is used or sent to
the market without being weighed the
chance for Including that milk in any
accurate record of cows production
is gone. The records are not only
valuable in singing out the cows that
are falling to produce enough to pay
their feed bill but they are of excep-
tional value when it comes time to
sell surplus animals, animals that are
offspring of the cows on which rec
ords are kept. Bulls with known
records back of them are the kind
alert dairymen are looking fo- today.
