FARM EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW M. SOULE

the year will often prove beneficial.
The roots are then turned up in a
manner which offers them but little
protection, and the freezes of the
winter will kill out a great many OF
them. Along towards spring, the
ground should be thoroughly har-
rowed and the grass roots gathered
together and burned.
Stumps may be removed from the
land by means of machines made for
the purpose. If you only have a
few, however. to remove such an
outfit would probably cost too much
for you to purchase. There are only
two other means by which you can
hope to remove them. Sometimes
if part of the earth is removed
from around the roots. and a long
chain or rope attached to the stump,
a team of mules can pull them out.
Digging them out, is, of course, a
laborious practice mad to be avoided,
if possible. II the stumps have been
standing in the field for some time,
they are probably dry enough fog
you to burn them with considerable
degree of success.
The Cause of Worms in Silage
e. j. D., Macon, Ga, writes:
viii you please tell us what
might cause silage to be full OF
maggOtS or worms around the
walls of the silo?
The only way in which we could
explain the presence Of maggots or
worms in a situation such as you
describe would be that the walls of
your silo are not alright. If there
is leakage of air through the walls,
then the chances are that the silage
will heat and ferment. When in a
semi-decayed condition, it furnishes
an ideal and attractive place for the
stable fly to deposit it's eggs. AS
you doubtless know, this particular
fly lays its eggs in material Of this
character. The stable fly is quite
distinct from the house fly, though
people may not realize this to be the
fact. We are inclined to think that
this is the explanation of your trou-
BILE, and, if your walls are frightened
so as to prevent the leakage of an
undue amount of air into the struc-
ture you will not experience this
trouble in the future. You should,
of course, not feed this damaged or
wormy silage. The chances are that
it would make your cattle very sick,
and might cause the death Of a con-
siderable number Of them.

Why did you leave the farm, my lad!
Why did you bolt and leave your dad7
Why did you beat it off to town,
And turn your poor old father down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit and press
Are wallowing in deep distress;
They seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas.
Well, stranger, since you've been so frank,
I'll roll aside the hazy bank:
left my dad his farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his cow.
left my dad, twas wrong, of course,
Because my colt became his horse;
l left my dad to sow and reap,
Because my lamb became his sheep
l dropped the hoe and stuck the fork
Because my pig became his pork.
The garden truck that it made grow
Was his to sell. but mine to hoe.
It's not the smoke in the atmosphere,
Nor the taste of life that brought me here.
Please tell the platform, pulpit, press,
No fear of toll, nor love of dress
Is driving off the farmer lads;
1t just the methods of their dads.
I had better ring off as my letter will
take up too much space if it happens to es-
cape the wastebasket. All you cousins write
me. l Will assure you an answer. Aged
eighteen. Best wishes to all the readers and
Aunt Julia.

TURKEYS ARE UP,
TREES ARE DOWN
in BAY REGIONS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 24,-San
Francisco turkeys for the Christmas
table were perehed on the highest
rafters in the market today, COB
bling with gleethat is, the live ones
at ten to Is cent increase per
pound since Saturday.
With. practically the entire stock
on their hands and light receipts in
sight for the day, big dealers were
asking-and getting As to As cents
per pound for better grades, so
cents for fancy stock and 80 to 43
for undergrade, wholesale.
Last Christmas with high prices
the market broke, but there is no
such hope this year. Heavy buying
that started yesterday continued to-
day, one dealer who bought at 81
cents disposed of his stock at 45.
This was q typical ease.
Trees Are Down .....
But while turkeys went up, Christ
mas trees came down.
Remembering their experience last
year, when trees could not be OBJ
tanned, dealers this year brought
from Oregon and Washington trees
by the trainload, with the result
that the market has gone to the
other extreme. Nice trees of fam
lily size Were being peddled on the
streets by the wistful-eyed dealers
for 20 cents as an average price,
with wreath thrown in.
Exceptionally good trees which 4
few days ago were offered at 50,
were being sold for rs cents. Good
sized wreaths of evergreens could
be obtained for dime and holly
wreaths were quoted at what would
be one cent per berry, allowing 80
berries TO the wreath.
