QUICK SELECTION

Determine Power Needed
to Operate Silo Filler

Up until the last year or so. very
little definite authoritative informa-
ton was available as to the exact
power required to operate silo filters
Of different sizes at various capacities
and under different conditions. How
ever, series Of comprehensive tests
as to power requirements have been
started at the University of Wiscon-
sin, using electric power for the work,
and at Ohio State university, using a
balanced or Graded tractor engine as
dynamometer. Already many inter-
esting points have been brought out,
and the tests are to be continued.
These tests are particularly valuable
in that they are made under actual
field conditions and by using the regu-
lar equipment and help.
Several months ago much interest
was aroused by an article from a
prominent agricultural engineer point

amount Of power required to operate a
blower depends largely on the amount
Of air moved. which In turn depends
on the intake opening, the size. length.

Prevention consists In Matching

would be better given to prevention
than to treatment. Kill all noticeably
diseased. Remove all free from dis
ease away from infected premises.
The only satisfactory method OF de-
termining whether hen is infected is
BY means Of blood test. Draw a small
vial Of blood from each hen that Is to
be brea from. The college is testing
blood free Of charge at the present
time and will soon have bulletin
available explaining this method.
The proper time to test for white
diarrhea Is In the fall after culling.
Test all hens you propose to keep over
for breeding purposes. One test may
not eliminate all disease. Test at
least every year. or every sig months,
until you know they are free. Do not

Winter Legurnes
Help Bare Land
Cover Crops Conserve Plant
Food, Increase Yields and
Improve the Soil.

Eventually more legumes must be
planted for soil Improvement II we ex-
pect to continue to produce crops
economically. So why not begin this
fall by planting winter cover crop
on as much land as possible? This
question is asked by @. P. Blackwell,
chief Of the agronomy division at
Clemson college, who believes that
more of the bare land should be plant
ed In cover crops this fall.
If winter cover crop is to be Of
the greatest benefit 1t must be planted
early SO that 1t may attain maximum
growth In time to be plowed under at
least two or three weeks before time
to plant the succeeding crop. If this
practice Is generally followed through
out. the cost of production Of staple
crops will be appreciabIy lowered next
year.
A winter cover crop serves two
fold purpose; 1t protects the land from
washing during the winter months
and at the same time conserves the
plant food materials made available
during this period. Soil which re-
mains bare during the winter loses
much valuable plant food by teaching.
A cover crop will make use of this
plant food and release II next spring
In time for the crop Of cotton or corn
to use It.
Whenever possible the winter cover
crop should be legume. for legumes
are able. by reason Of their we'll
known ability to obtain nitrogen from
the air, to greatly increase the supply
Of this element In. the soil. Vetch
and crimson clover are probably the
best known and are to be recommend
ed. When planted with oats or rye.
vetch makes rank growth. the mix
ture furnishing a quantity of organic
matter to be plowed under and mixed
with the soil. Crimson clover has met
with much favor from practically
everyone who has planted 1t. and its
more general use would certainly be
followed by increased yields Of our
other crops. OF the non-leguminous
cover crops. rye Is the best known

Care Of Strawberry
Bed After Harvest
Clean Up Refuse and Pull
Out All Old Plants.

1t Is advisable to set new straw.
berry bed every spring, but in the
small home garden. at least. 1t will
often pay to continue the bed for q
second and possibly a third season.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture advises that If the bed is to
be saved for another year any mulch
and other refuse, such as weeds and
strawy manure that may have accu-
mulated through the summer, should
be raked Off as soon as the crop Is
gathered. Then the older plants
should be pulled out or removed with
a hoe. leaving only enough of the
younger ones to send out runners to
make a new narrow or wide matted
row, as desired. If the leaves on the
plants left are spotted with disease
cut or NOW them Off and burn them.
A pound of nitrate of soda per
square rod of ground, scattered around
the plants will start vigorous growth.
Put this fertilizer on when the plants
are dry, for 1t will injure any damp
parts of the plant 1t touches. Handled
in this way a bed may be kept for sew
eral years, because the new plants Of
one year are saved for fruiting the
next. Old beds may he cleaned M. ms
just mentioned. by hoeing or blowing
the spaces between rows and leaving
the youngest plants In the row.

Remedy for Scaly Leg

Scaly leg is a common summer dis
ease among poultry. 1t is caused by
a small parasite that burrows into
the scales Of the birds leg, causing
them to protrude. One good way to
cure 1t is to fill an empty fruit can
with coal oil and keep the legs of the
bird immersed in this for few min
utes. If this Is done twice a week for
month it will usually kill the para
sites, but it is well to supplement this
treatment by using lard as an oint-
ment fev the legs

Potato Bins Should Be
SPRAYED Before Filling

Killing the disease germs which may
have lived over in the potato bins be-
fore filling with the new crop is sug-
gested as a paying precautionary mea-
sure by South Dakota state college po.
tato specialists. The bins should be
thoroughly swept and then sprayed or
swabbed. A painting or washing of
all inside parts with solution of one
pint of forrnaldehyde In 20 gallons of
water is very efficient. Clean. dry po-
tatoes, -uninjured and stored in dry
bins, do not rot unless disease Is pres
ent in the tubers. One can easily be
satisfied regarding this by digging into
The bin and examining the potatoes
from time to time.
