Winter Rye Grown in
All Parts Of Country
It's Production Increased in
Last Few Years.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Winter rye is the hardest OF all ce-
reals. 1t can be grown in all parts of
the country, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture, but is most
profitable in the northern and east
ern states. Its production in the
United States has increased rapidly
during the past few years, due chiefly
to heavy foreign demand, high
priced labor, low yields of wheat, and
the development of improved varieties
of rye. It is grown largely as
cash grain crop in the western half Of
the country, but is used also for pas
ture, as a green-manure or nurse crop
and to smother weeds.
The ordinary time for sowing winter
rye in the northern part Of North Da-
kota and Minnesota is about Septem-
Der 1, with later dates in sections
south Of this. Many farmers will find
It profitable to SOW winter rye yet this
fall, using grain stubble, corn ground,
fall-plowed land, or summer falloW, II
climatic conditions permit, the depart
ment believes. Sowing on grain stub
BILE Is often the most profitable be-
cause of the cheaper cost of produc-
ton. The grain should be sown with
a drill at the rate of four to six pecks
per acre.
In the important reproducing
western states the average acre value
of the rye crop is somewhat less than
that of wheat. While the yields OF
rye usually are higher than those of
wheat, the price is much less, being
largely determined by the foreign
markets which use most of our crop.
At low prices rye cannot be grown ror
grain at profit except under good
management and in favored localities,
the Department of Agriculture says.
While rye makes good hay, green ma
nura, pasture, or a nurse crop for le-
gumes, it is not a suitable concen-
trated feed for live stock unless mixed
with other grains. It is too heavy and
sticky and is not very palatable feed
ing tests show. When fed in mixtures
rye has feeding value lower than
corn, but nearly equal to that OF
barley.

The ability Of the mule to endure
hardship and perform sterling service
under adverse conditions has estab-
tished him as a real asset in Ameri-
can agriculture, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, and his i'm
portance and popularity as work
animal is attested by his rapidly in
ereasing use. In 1910, the number of
mules on farms and ranches was
4,209 100. The number on January
1, 1920, was 5,432, 391, an increase dur
ing the decade of nearly 80 per cent.
Nearly three-fifths of all the mules in
use in the United States are found in
the nine Cotton Belt States. These
states, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas, Mississippi Alabama, North
Carolina, SoutL Carolina, and LOUISE
ana, had total of 3,172, 797, mules in
1920 as compared with 2,855,25S horses.
Texas and Oklahoma were the only
Cotton Belt states having more horses
than mules
Useful for Utility Purposes.
While the mule is essentially a draft
animal, it is used widely for utility
purposes, especially in the South.
Mules vary in height from IL hands to
1715 hands and 10 weight from 600
pounds to 1900 pounds. They are di-
vided into five general market classes:
Draft, farm, sugar, cotton, and min

OF the roof supplies direct sunlight
to the west row of pens. In the
afternoon the west row of windows
enables flooding the east row of pens
with sunlight. In this way every
portion of the floor is reached at some
time during the day by direct sunlight.
The little pigs as well as the older
ones enjoy the warm spring sun and
1t helps to make them active and keep
them healthy. The well-lighted hog
house presents more pleasant, cheer
full aspect also for those who must
take care of the animals. Likewise
there is no greater enemy of disease
germs than plenty of sunlight. AS the
windows are located in the roof in
stead of in the walls, the sides of the
building are kept low. This results in
less overhead space, which insures a
warmer as well as a less costly build
ing. In some cases, skylight hog
houses are built with the long way
running east and west; then windows
are placed on the south slope Of the
roof. The top row furnishes light for
the north pens, and the bottom row,
the pens along the south wall.
Favored In Many Sections.
The popularity Of the half monitor
roof type Of hoghouse is not confined
to any particular part Of the United
States. Everywhere there are hog
raisers who favor it. It is always To-
Gated SO that the long way runs east
and west with windows on the south
side. The top row of windows lights
the north pens while the lower row
supplies sunshine to the pens along
the south wall. The upper row of
windows is placed at such height
chat the sun will shine on the floor
Of the north row Of pens at narrowing
time. AS this time will not be the
same for all hog raisers and since the
suns rays have different slant at
different seasons and ATTITUDES, the
builder should figure out the height at
which to place these windows.

Hogs Take First Place
Among Ohio Live Stock

Hogs and sheep have changed
places in the farming scheme Of Ohio
since 1860 Then, the census showed
more than 100000 sheep and 2,000,-
600 hogs. Now it shows something
over 100000 hogs and 100000 sheep.
All other forms of live stock have
increased during the same 60-year
period, although since 1900 horses and
mules show net decrease. The equine
population of Ohio in 1920 is reported
in the census as 842,318. Poultry
shows the greatest increases in num-
bers, from 100000 to 100000 be-
tween 1880 and 1890, and then stead
lily about 100000 each decade to the
present total of 2O,232, 657.

Wheat for Chickens Is
Recommended to Farmers

Wheat fed to chickens is worth con-
siderably more than wheat sold at the
present market price, say poultrymen
at the Ohio State university, who have
modified their rations to allow for this
fact.
They are substituting whole wheat
for corn in tie scratch feed, and in
tend to continue this substitution as
long as the bushel price Of wheat
stays below the bushel price of corn.
But the largest saving, they say,
comes from grinding wheat, and sub
stituting whole wheat in the dry mash
for the bran and middlings usually
fed. The old formula for the standard
Ohio dry mash was equal parts OF
bran, middlings, cornmeal, ground
oats, and meat scrap or tankage.
The new formula, now being fed at
the college poultry plant, and recon-
mended to all farmers with 80 per
cent wheat on their hands, is: 2 parts
ground whole wheat, and l part each
of cornmeal, ground oats and meat
scrap or tankage.
The whole wheat, it is said in
creases the feeding value Of the mash.
Each hundredweight of wheat SO fed
saves buying that much bran and mid
dlings. With middlings at $40 ton,
wheat has substitution value OF
around S1.2O a bushel when thus fed.
The farmer with a good-sized flock
could more than pay for feed grinder
by the saving made under this plan,
the college people believe.

Inspection Of Milk Is
Discussed in Bulletin
Work Includes More Than
Detection of Adulteration.

aPrepared by the United States Department
of Agrioulture.)
1.-THE work of milk inspection has
broadened in recent years and now
includes more than the detection of
adulteration, though many people in
their ordinary use of language do not
recognize this fact, ard continue to
speak of pure milk as milk that is
not watered and contains no preserva-
tive" say Ernest Kelly and G. S.
Leete, joint authors Of Department
Circular 276, Inspection of Milk
Supplies, just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
'9The bacterial content of the milk
must always be taken into considera-
ton when designating milk as pure.
The chemical, meteorological and san
ltary aspects should not be confused.

the city as well as on the farm.
1t gives the qualifications for milk in
spectors and discusses milk ordi-
nances. The e-card system of
inspection of dairy farms and milk
plants is described, and samples of
score cards for each are reprinted.
The circular also takes up laboratory
control, giving list of equipment and
the procedure for Analysing samples
of milk.
milk inspection has reached the
point in it's development where three
distinct features are now practically
essential" says the circular. These
features are: Dairy inspection, dairy
instruction, and laboratory con-
troll" "As recontamination after
pasteurization may prove serious, the
milk-control officials should make fire.
uuent and methodical examination of
apparatus, bottles and cans with which
the milk comes in contact after pas
teurlzation. Laboratory control of
this phase of the work is essential.
Those who handle milk -or milk con-
tainers on farms where milk is sold
for use in it's raw state or in pas
teurizing plants should be subject to
frequent medical inspection" The cir

Disease Of Sweet Corn
Is Discovered in Ohio

A disease of sweet corn, which
causes stunted growth followed by
whiting and death of affected plants,
has been reported to the Ohio expert
ment station by several growers.
Station pathologists state that in
this affection, known as Stewards dis
ease, the interiors of the stems If cut
just above the ground are found to be
discolored and the sap to be thick and
sticky. due to the presence Of the bac-
teria which cause the disease.
The disease is carried on the seed
and in the remains of diseased plants
in the soil or in manure.
To prevent the spread of the disease
affected plants are pulled up and
burned and corn is not grown on the
ground for at least four years. Though
field corn is not noticeably affected it
is not advisable to grow it upon land
where diseased sweet corn has been
grown, as it may serve to keep the in~
lection in the soil.

More Alfalfa, Less Corn,
Slogan of Many Farmers

"More alfalfa and less corn is the
slogan of many farmers right now.
Help is getting searcer, corn is beset
with numerous Ills, and soils are be-
coming more difficult to handle. Al
falfa builds up soil, instead Of wear
ing it out, and in all dairy districts an
acre Of alfalfa is worth three times as
much as an acre Of corn. Ten tons of
corn silage contains about $50 pounds
digestible protein, while an acre of al
falfa making four tons of hay would
contain S32 pounds of protein. One
acre of alfalfa making four tons is
worth right now about 500. One
acre of corn making so bushels is
worth now about $50.

Grease or Lard Aids to
Prevent Tools Rusting

No matter if tools are kept out of
the wet, even the dampness of the
air will cause them to rust A paste
made Of tallow or lard and graphite,
with a little camphor gum will pre-
vent rust when applied and afterwards
rubbed dry. Mix two parts grease to
one of graphite. Add about one-fourth
as much camphor gum as there is of
the graphite. Get the tools quite clean
and dry, apply the paste and allow it
to remain on all metal parts for "a
hours or longer, then rub dry Tools
treated in this way will not rust for
several months, though exposed to
damp air. Treat in this way every two
or three months, not only tools, but any
steel or iron surface.

gestion," says Gladys Stillman of the
extension service, Wisconsin College
of Agriculture.
What is meant by a hot lunch?
Just this-the hot lunch is that part
Of the noon lunch which is prepared
at school. 1t adds to but does not
take the place of the lunch prepared
at home. 1t need not mean more than
the serving of one hot dish, such as
cocoa or nutritious soup"
Why the Hot Lunch2
The advantages of the hot lunch are
many as listed by Miss Stillman. Bet
ter health is perhaps the most impor-
tant as she views the results. .sThe
youngsters enjoy the lunch more if
there is a hot dish. Eating of the
lunch under the teachers supervision
results in slower eating and more
thorough chewing Of the food. Hasty

Cabbage and Turnips Do
Well in Pit STORAGE

If the cellar space is limited, cab
bage and turnips can be welI-cared for
by pit storing. Select a high spot
where the water drains off quickly.
Dig a trench three feet wide and two
feet deep. Floor with boards. Put in
the vegetables and then lay on light
covering of straw. Put boards over
this, providing small opening at the
top for ventilation. Cover with eight
to twelve inches Of dirt. Apples may
be kept in the same way. There is
seldom any loss from such a pit.

Poison Ivy Eradicated
With Waste Motor Oil

A scientist connected with one of the
mid-Western universities says that
poison ivy may be eradicated by satur-
ating the ground at the base of the
plants with waste motor-oil from the
crank-case. Where a farmer wishes
20 kill out this pest on large scale
ARRANGEMENTS could be made, no doubt,
With automobile service stations for
saving the DRAWINGS from cars which
have their oil supplies replenished.
Waste lubricant of this sort has little
commercial value and can be obtained
without great cost in considerable
quantity if arrangements are made for
saving it.

Plan to Prevent Moist
Mash From Packing Hard

An excellent way to prevent moist
mash from packing into an irdigestible
mass in the crop of the hen is by add
ing shortcut alfalfa or clover hay to
the mixture. This sort of food may
compose as much as 20 to 25 per cent
of the mash by bulk in most cases.
The most essential thing in this case
is that the hay be leafy and cut In
quite short lengths. Before mixing
with the mash. first soak the hay In
bucket Of water for several hours.
