Oats, Richer Than Corn,
Favored for Dairy Feed

Oats will be more largely fed this
year than usual. Their abundance and
the shortage of corn will induce farm.
ers to depend more than usual upon
their supply Of oats to compound the
dairy ration.
Oats are richer in pro,ein content
than corn. For this reason they make
an excellent dairy feed. Best results
are obtained when they are ground or
crushed. The bulky nature Of this
grain. together with their richer pro-
tein content, admirably fits them for
mixing with other feeds. Because Of
these desirable characteristics, and the
fact that oat prices are on a lower
parity than most other grains, farmers
should not sell too closely of the grain.

keep up maximum flow of milk.

To Protect Fruit Trees
From Mice and Rabbits

A good remedy to protect fruit trees
from mice is TO break down mice bur-
rows, and follow that by spreading
poison bait about. Sweet potatoes,
cut into grape size, make good bait
when sprinkled with strychnia sui
phate. one ounce to one bushel of
bait. The bait Is first soaked in a
tub of water, then the poison, usual
ly mixed with baking powder, Is
sifted over IT from a salt shaker. A
few pieces of bait are placed under
each tree in wide-necked bottles, I'M
der boards or in open tunnels so that
chickens and live stock will not come
in contact with them.
To protect trees from rabbits, a
heavy galvanized wire, about one
quarter inch mesh, serves well when
put around the base of the tree and
about 20 inches up from the
ground. Newspapers or corn stalks
wrapped around the tree with binder
twine make less expensive protectors.

spring.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Asriculture.)
Because of the high quality ant
beauty of its timber and Its resistanc,
to decay. the food value and popularity
OF Its nuts, and the charm of the tree
from an ornamental standpoint the
black walnut challenges attention a:
a tree worthy of extensive planting In
waste places. according to Farmers
Bulletin No. 1892 just published by
the United States Department of Agrl'
culture.
Detailed information is given in this
bulletin, 'Black Walnut for Timber
and Nuts" regarding planting and the
best growing conditions, and the care
Of the black walnut for most salts
factory results in growing 1t primarily
for either timber. nuts. or as an orna-
mental.
Tre,s Need More Room.
In earle. years it was deemed best
to grow the black walnut In close
plantations As consequence the In
crease In diameter was slow and the
annual rings narrow. Today the mar
ket demand in walnut lumber is for
wider rings giving an attractive grain.
That means the trees must be given
room 10 make more rapid growth than
when close together. and II also means
earlier and larger crops Of nuts.
Black walnut grows best In fertile,
moist, well-drained soil under average
conditions of temperature and mois-
ture and does not thrive in the ex-
treme North or South, nor at high
elevations, nor in arid, alkaline, wet
or acad soils. Its commercial range
is given as parts Of the Ohio, Mis-
sissippi, and Missouri River valleys
covering portions of the state of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Grow In Waste Places.
1t is not recommended to grow the
black walnut as a major farm crop
On extensive areas of good land, be- |
cause 1t cannot compete In profits |
with other farm crops. But 1t is urged |
10 plant this tree in those neglected |
)r waste areas of good soil in fence
along fence rows or stream
banks, on billy or rough places, In

places the black walnut in the regions
where 1t thrives should be good In

Kill Orchard Mice
With Poisoned Bait
Outline of Effectual and In.
expensive Formula.

Mice and other rodents are begin
ming their destructive winters work
In the orchard. For this reason steps
should be taken by growers to pro-
tect the fruit trees, says A. Freeman
Mason, extension specialist In fruit
growing at the New Jersey College of
Agriculture in New Brunswick.
Clearing grass and rubbish away
from the tree trunks and mounding the
trunks with earth will protect the
trees to certain extent. Mechan-
ical devices such as wire netting and
tarred paper may be used but In most
cases, poisoning will prove an effectu-
al and inexpensive method CT control
ling destructive rodents.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture recommends the following
formula: Mix together. dry, Is ounce
OF powdered strychnine and Is ounce
of baking soda. Sift the strychnine-
soda mixture over / quart of rolled
oats, stirring constantly to insure an
even distribution of the poison through
the grain Heat the poisoned rolled
oats In an oven until thoroughly
warm. Mix 3 parts of melted beef fat
with l part of melted paraffin. and
sprinkle 6 tablespoonfuls of this mix
ture over the warm. poisoned rolled
oats, mixed until the oats are evenly
coated Allow the grain to cool and
ii is ready for use.
If large quantities of the bait are
needed, use l ounce of strychnine. |
ounce of soda, s quarts of rolled oats
and IL pints Of the beef-fat-paraffin
mixture. 1t Is very important to have
he beef-fat-parafiin mixture hot and
he poisoned rolled oats thoi oughly

'ible to obtain an even coating.
Tablespoonful quantities OF the
poisoned oats should be put in con-
ainers placed In the orchard. If mice

Dairymen Are Careless
in Cooling Products

This is the season of the year when
milk and cream producers become
careless in the cooling of their product
after milking or separation. The cool
nights lead one to believe that nature
will take care of the cooling opera
ton. Milk and cream, however, cool
very slowly in air or in water when
not stirred The center of the can
remains warm for number of hours,
allowing opportunity for rapid bac-
terial development. The result is milk
sours quickly and cream is second
grade when delivered TO the creamery.

Good Alfalfa Cultivator

The ordinary spring-tooth harrow
makes a very good alfalfa cultivator.
The disc harrow and spike-tooth har-
rows are also used. The spring-tooth
is to be preferred. When the disc is
used it is set straight and then fol-
lowed by the spike-tooth harrow. This
loosens the ground well and stimulates
the alfalfa plants. Special cuItivators
Of course are obtainahle on the mar
