SPREAD OF FRUIT DISEASES
Many Men With Orchards and Vine
yards Leave Dead Branches and
Vines on the Ground.

No one would think Of leaving the
carcasses of farm animals in the yard,
stable or barn lot-anywhere that
death overlook them. Such carcasses
carry the diseases that killed them.
Yet many men with orchards and vine
yards will leave the carcasses Of dis
ease-killed fruit on the trees and
vines, or on the ground under them,
and then tell you that ut don't pay to
try to raise fruit" Such men have
not tried.

FINISH POULTRY FOR MARKET
Plump, Well Fattened Fowl Will Bring
More Money and Sell Far
More Readily.

No up-to-date farmer would think Of
marketing his cattle or hogs in poor
or unfinished condition, because to do so
would mean loss of money; but on
many farms poultry is seldom properly
finished before marketing. A plump
well-fnished bird will sell more readily
and bring few cents more per pound,
besides being worth more on account
of the increase in weight, than a poor.
scrawny fowl. Moreover, producing
finished poultry is quick business and
profits are soon realized.

well forward, and at the same time
should extend well backward. The

PROPER CARE OF DRoPPINGs
Mistaken Idea to Think They Will
Freeze as Soon as Accumu-
lated in Piles.

1t is very natural to think that the
cold weather will freeze the droppings
as fast as they accumulate, and that,
if they do pile up under the roosts, 1t
will make little difference. This is
wrong, for the droppings never stay
frozen very long at time. A warm
night In winter is very trying on the
fowls, when the droDpings have been
permitted to accumulate TOO long,

VALUABLE COMPANION CROPS
Legumss Make Most Economical Con-
tribution Of Organic Matter
and Nitrogen.

Legumes when grown as compan-
ion crop make the most economical
contribution of organic matter and
nitrogen to the soil. OF these compan-
lon crops, perhaps the velvet bean is
the most valuable, when grown as
companion crop with corn. Cowpeas
and soy beans may also be grown sue
cessfully in this way.
