Is used in such a way as to lead the
reader to believe that this firm has
for sale blueberries of the kind shown
In the Illustration, when as matter
Of fact ordinary wild blueberries, first
transplanting to a nursery, are fur
nished in response to the advertise
ment. Furthermore, advertisements
issued by this firm give very mislead-
ing information. One of their adver-
tisements, in the February number of
a well-known garden magazine, states
that "by repeated transplanting, we
perfected the root system of the
plants" that "now, you may grow
blueberries as easily as any other gar
den berries; and that starting with
our nursery-grown plants assures sue
cess under all conditions" These
statements give a very erroneous and
misleading idea Of the conditions
necessary for success in BURBERRY cul-
ture.

LIMBERNECK AMONG POULTRY
Trouble Is Brought About by Fowl
Eating Decayed Animal Matter
Castor Oil Helps.

Limberneck is recognized by the fact
that the fowl seems to lose control Of
It's neck muscles, thereby allowing the
head to hang down and touch the
ground The fowl seems powerless to
raise the head or have any control
Of it.
The trouble, according to Harry En-
bleton, professor Of poultry husbandry
at Oklahoma A. and M. college, is
brought about by the eating of some
decayed animal matter. THE best
means, therefore, of preventing further
trouble is to look the premises over
for a carcass of some kind" EEableton
says. ''In some cases we have found
1t to be rabbits, in others, snakes or
carcasses Of fowls. Castor oil given
by means of a small funnel and rubber
tube inserted In the food passage,
seems to help somewhat in restoring
the affected birds to health"

Probably the food which is of first
Importance for the dairy COW is le-
gume hay. The legume crops which
can be grown generally in Wisconsin
for hay are, clover, alfalfa and soy
beans. A hay made from any one of
these crops makes an eat which the
dairy COW relishes and Of which she
viii consume large quantities. Glover,
alfalfa or soy bean hays are rich in
pl Jtein and mineral matter, both of
which are important parts of milk.
Probably the second most impor-
tant eat for the dairy COW is good
grade of corn silage. The corn crop
in the form of silage gives large
yields per acre and is fed with less
waste than in any other form. Corn
silage is high in moisture and conse-
quently helps to give the winter ra-
ton some of the characteristics Of
June pasture.
Simple Grain Mixture Sufficient.
The concentrated feeds which go
well with a legume hay and corn ST
lage are a mixture of ground oats and
ground corn and wheat bran. Oats
and corn are grown on Wisconsin
farms as are all of the other feeds
that have been mentioned, except
wheat bran. Hay and silage are fed
at the rate at which the cows will
consume them, and grain is fed in
proportion to milk production, or
about one pound Of grain daily for
each three pounds of milk produced
daily.
1t is important to inventory the feed
supply ahead of time. 1t is important
to estimate the amount necessary for
several months in advance It il inn
portant to cooperate with others
when buying. 1t is important to re-
member that the eats cost of milk pro-
duction is the largest item Of expense,
and therefore should be given due con-
sideration.
The Wisconsin agricultural expert
ment station at Madison is constant
1y investigating feeds and feeding
methods for the purpose of securing
new facts about eats for Wisconsin's
100000 dairy cows.

BY r. S. HuLcE of the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture.

(This appeal to the dairymen Of Wis
consin was written after making survey
Of the feed situation in several different
sections of the state.)
AS the cost of feed is about two
thirds of the entire cost of milk pro-
duction, we need to give lot Of at
tention to the "eats" for the dairy
COW.
There was a time when little
thought was given to the food best
suited to the dairy cow. Even today
we do not think enough of the impor-
lance of the right kind Of eats.
Many of us can lower the cost of
milk production by paying more at
tention to the kinds and amounts of
eats for the dairy COW. To do this,
1t is necessary to plan many months
in advance, first In order that the
right crops may be grown, and sec
ond, that any necessary purchased
feeds may be obtained at favorable
prices.
Just let me tell you of two groups
of cows. Although fed differently,
each produced about the same
amounts. In spite of the fact that
the feeds which each group received
were different, the prices Of the eats
were about the same.
What were the results?
Made a Poor Combination.
During the trial six cows in one
group produced as much milk as nine
cows in the other group. This differ
once was due entirely to the difference
in efficiency for milk production Of the
eats consumed The right kind Of
eats made possible a substantial profit
with one group and the wrong kind Of
eats were responsible for deficit
with the other.
On thinking the matter over it
stands to reason that if dairy COW is
to maintain her body and produce milk
in large quantities, the eats which she
Is given must be such that she can
accomplish what the dairyman desires
Of her.

TREES REQUIRE CULTIVATION
Row Crops, Such as Potatoes, May
Be Grown in Between-soil
Mulch Is Essential.

"Trees require cultivation just the
same as any farm CROP" says d. G.
Mooring, horticulturist with the extern
sion division of the Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college. Cultivated row crops,
such as potatoes. may be grown in
between the rows Of the trees while
young. AS the trees enlarge in size
less row crops should be grown until
the entire space is left to the trees. A
soil mulch established with whatever
practical tool available, should be
maintained about the young trees from
early summer until the last tf July
during the average season. During a
dry year continue your cultivation
until August"

sary amount of nutrients to produce
the highest and most economical egg
yields.
In some experiments recently made,
general-purpose pu,lets produced a
dozen eggs from 81 pounds Of feed,
and Leghorn pullets from 4.8 pounds
of feed. Old hens required a much
larger amount of feed than pullets in
producing dozen eggs.
To get the most profitable results,
feed simple mixtures composed Of
homegrown grains and their by-prod-
ucts, supplemented with meat or fish
scrap or milk, such as scratch mix
ture Of two parts cracked corn and one
part oats, and mash of three parts
cornmeal and one part meat scrap.
Raise all the green feed and as much
grain feed as possible.

A hen egg contains 20 to 76 per cent
water.
The mother turkey is the best nurss
to brood young poults.
It is best to have ground feed or dry
mash before the birds all the time.
May chicks are not as apt to go into
winter molt as the March and April
chicks.
Sprouted barley is sometimes used
in place Of oats. Other good green's
are cabbages and mangels.
Put chicks on range as soon as
weather is suitable. At this age the
lighter breeds will be feathered out
and the medium and heavy breeds
partially so.
Clean out the litter every two
weeks, or, at the most, every three,
and bring in fresh scratching material.
Where the hen is the machine, the
eggs the product, feed and labor the
costs, it remains for management to
be the economy.
The health of the layers is directly
dependent upon the purity of the air
which they breathe during both day
and night in the laying houses. There

tial to every laying house

Remedy for Constipation.

Constipation is one of the most COM
mon ailments of young lambs. This
may be remedied by giving one or two
ounces of castor oil or linseed oil.
White scours Is another infectious
disease Of lambs which may become
quite serious and affect large numbers
of the lambs where the flock is kept in
unsanitary quarters. Lambs and their
dams so affected should be taken from
the flock and isolated. Such lambs
should be given two teaspoonfuls of
castor oil, which should be followed
for several days by daily doses of one
half teaspoonful OF salicylic acid.

MORE ATTENTION TO FENCES
Very Little Real Building Has Been
Done for Some Years-Labor
in Repairs Wasted.

Very little real fence building has
been done in a number of years, but
a lot Of labor has been put on old
fences in trying to make them do serv-
ice a little longer. Much of this labor
has been practically wastedA No
sooner is a fence that has outlived it's
usefulness, repaired in one place, than
it breaks down in another, and before
the breakdown is discovered, heavy
damage has been done to some crop
by live stock.

CORN MOST IMPORTANT CROP
Quantity of. Yield Is Greatly InfIu-
enced by Quality of Seed
Let Hogs Harvest.

Corn is the most important crop in
the United States, both in acreage and
in value The quantity of yield is
greatly influenced by the quality of the
seed planted. A practical way to de-
crease the cost Of harvesting the crop
if it is to be fed to hogs is to let the
hogs do the harvesting or ''hogging
down" by turning them into the fields
in the fall.

CONTROL OF ORCHARD PESTS
Thorough TiIIage, Pruning and Gem
eraI Care of Great Importance
Keep Weeds Out.

The thorough tiJage, pruning and
general care of orchards is of great
assistance in pest control. An or
chard full of Weeds. grass and trash of
various sorts offers favorable condi-
lions for the harboring and propaga-
ton of some enemies. Dead and dy-
ing branches attract bark beetles and
are handicap and menace in other
ways. Weak, neglected trees are I'M
able to outgrow injuries and are also
more susceptible to successful attack
by their enemies. Keep the trees
pruned. titled and fortified as well as
sprayed.

PROPER CARE OF

Period Are important.
FACTORS TENDING TO STUNT
Young Animals Should Not Only Be
Properly Nourished but Also Kept
Free From Various Ailments
Diseases Cause Loss.
prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural

(Prcpared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The rapid development and profit
able gains of lambs depend largely
upon their freedom from disease and
upon the nourishment they get during
the frst few months of their lives, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture Both disease and
lack OF nourishment, If continued for
number of days or weeks, tend to
stunt the young animals. An animal
once thoroughly stunted requires a long
Tune Tor recovery. In fact, four
months, which is usually a desirable
age at which to sell lambs to the best
advantage, is not sufficient for the an
1mal to recuperate and develop into a
cnolce market lamb, say the depart
ment specialists. Lambs, therefore,
should not only be properly nourished,
but must also be kept free from the
various ailments of. young lambs if the
greatest amount of money is to be
realized from them at market time.
Proper Care Prevents Disease.
Lambs from well-fed ewes which
are properly cared for have few trou-
hles or diseases. There are, however,
several ailments which sometimes ap-
pear among lambs which. If not given
attention at the proper time, may cause
considerable loss or affect their early
development and hence their market
value and profit.
Some of the infectious diseases of
lambs, such as joint i'll and others, may
cause quite serious losses. Some of
these diseases do not respond rapidly
to treatment, but they can be prevent
ed by proper sanitary conditions.
Clean, -well-bedded and well-ventilated
quarters should be provided for the
ewes and lambs in order to prevent
these diseases. Sore eyes or sore
mouth often develop, particularly if
the flock is kept in unsanitary quar-
ters or if they are exposed to rainy
weather and the udder and TANKS of
the eve become wet and dirty. In
case of sore eyes among the lambs the
eyes should be cleansed each day until
cured with 8 per cent solution of
boric acid or a Is per cent solution of
argyrol. If the lambs are troubled
with sore mouth all the scab and dis
eased tissue should be scraped away
and the sore covered with sheep dip
or carbolated vaseline.

FEEDING VALUE OF cLoVERs
Because of High Protein Content They
Are Valuable for All Growing
Farm Animals,

Clovers make excellent feed whether
used as pasture, as hay, or as soiling
crops. Because of the high protein
content they are valuable for growing
animals and a good supplement to
corn. One ton of clover hay has a
feeding value for fattening animals
equal to one and one-half tons of tim
othy hay, three-fourths ton, of shelled
corn, or two-thirds ton of wheat bran.

BASIS FOR FEEDING RATION
Corn Is Hard 80 Beat and Only Sup
pIement Necessary to Purchase
Is Protein.

Corn is hard to beat as a basis for
any feeding ration. The only form Of
feed it will be necessary to buy to sup
plement corn is protein, and farmers
are just finding out that they can pro-
duce much more of this at home than
they once thought they could.
