Excellent Qualities Of
Texas Honey Ball Melon

A new type Of melon, called the
Texas Honey Ball, which is cross be-
tween the Texas Cannon Ball canta-
loupe and the California Honey Dew
melon, will be found in the markets
this year, reports the United States
Department of Agriculture. The melon
is almost perfectly round in shape and
averages about five inches in diane
ter.
Approximately $500 acres of the
melons have been planted in Texas,
the department says, which should
produce, under favorable conditions,
around 1850 carloads. Only 65 acres
of the melons were planted last year,
largely for experimental purposes.
The meat Of the new honey melon is
similar in texture to that of the Honey
Dew, ~ inches thick, and is covered
by a smooth, thin rind, fairly well net
ted. The chief merits Of the melon are
its shipping qualities and favor. Ship
nents can be made without refrigera-
ton to any section of the United
States requiring ten days to two
weeks time The melon is not sus-
ceptible to damage from bruises
caused by ordinary handling.

Many Realize Rotation
of Crops Is Important

Most farmers nowadays realize the
value Of rotating crops according to
some systematic scheme that may
best suit the purpose of the farmer,
yet on very many farms corn is grown
year after year on the same land.
The Ohio experiment station has been
conducting rotation experiments and
growing crops on the same land con-
tinuously for the last 30 years and the
results they have obtained are, there
fore, quite reliable. On one field,
where corn has been grown continu-
ously without manure for IL years,
the average yield has been 28.1 BUSH
els per acre. On an adjoining field
corn has been rotated with oats for
IL years. On this field eight crops of
corn and nine crops Of oats have
grown during that period. Corn has
averaged ALI bushels per acre and
oats 1913 bushels This field also was
not fortified. This two-year rotation
OF corn and oats teaches most valu-
able lesson, for the field has almost
produced as many bushels of corn as
the field that was in corn every year,
and at the same time has produced an
average Of nearly 40 bushels of oats
per aero during the years that this
crop was grown.

Imported Parasites to
Control Alfalfa Weevil

Destructiveness of the alfalfa weevil
In the West has led entomologists to
give attention for some years to the
possibility Of using parasites to assist
In controlling this pest and to search
in Europe, where the alfalfa weevil is
native, for suitable species. OF the II
species which have been brought from
Europe into the United States FIVE
have shown promise of practical use
fulness In Utah. One in particular,
Bathyplectes curculionis, has become
well established, so that it actually
swarms in infested fields in this state
and, in some instances, destroys over
90 per cent of the weevfl larvae. Sew
eral promising species of parasites
which might aid in controlling other
stages of the weevil have thus far
failed to become established
A new department circular, No. 3O1,
entitled Introduction of Parasites of
the Alfalfa Weevil Into the United
States" by Thomas R. Chamberlin, en-
tomologist. gives brief account of the
more important imported parasites and
discusses the effectiveness of Bathy-
plectes curculionis. 1t may be OBJ
tanned, while the supply lasts, by ap-
plying to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington.

side. This brought the entire depth
to about 20 feet. This silo still stands
on the farm that is now owned and
operated by Fred Pabst as part OF
his large Holstein breeding establish
ment.
Doctor Weeks thought many crops
were suited for ensilage. He said In
a letter to a friend: Fodder corn Is
by no means the best for ensilage.
Glover stands first, rye next, cut when
the blooms first appear, next all the
small grains and all the grasses. Fod
der corn is principally used because
SO large tonnage can be obtained
from an acre."
Steele Advanced Use Of SIIos.
Among the first men to build silos
In Wisconsin, Fish mentions John
Steele of Alderley, Dodge county.
Steele is still living. He met with
such success, according to Fish, that
other dairy farmers built silos soon
after. Steele probably did more for
the advancement Of the silo in the
early days than any other man in his
state. He gave instructions to farm.
ers In the vicinity as well as the instt
tute men who came to see his silo.
The University of Tennessee, Fish
finds, started the first experimental
work on silos and ensilage. They be-
gan in 1879. In 1881, Cornell and the
University of Wisconsin built expert
mental silos. The one at the Wiscon-
sin station was 81 by IL by 10 feet
deep. The walls were rubble sand
stone construction, 10 inches thick.
The inside was smoothed with cement.
It was partially underground.
When this silo was to be filed the
first time, Fish says, Dean w. A.
Henry, of the university, considered
it an event of such Importance that he
sent postcards to the farmers notify
ing them Of the date. During the
eighties silos continued to receive
more or less attention in the press and
among the farmers. A few were built in
various places. They were the center
of interest at the farmers Institutes
Of 1868. There was much preju-
OlC0 dBd1LSL luELu UuI IL was llOSl1J
from those who did not have silos.
Wisconsin also led in the develop
ment of the round silo. While Prof
f. Fl. King did not originate the round
silo, Fish declares that he did make 1t
popular and helped bring it into gen.
eral use. King saw that farmers were
having trouble with ensilage spelling
In the corners Of square silos and
concluded that the round type was the
only one to build. His bulletin telling
how to build round wooden silos was
the first on the subject. He also
made many other studies on silos.
Wisconsin, still holds the lead in
the development of silos. Her dairy
ing and silos have grown together un-
til now the round silo is an ever pres
ent part of the landscape.

RECENT METHOD OF
FEEDING CHICKENS

A new system for feeding chicks has
been substituted by the University OF
New Hampshire for that previously
recommended by that institution.
When the chicks are taken from the
incubator and placed under the brood
er stove, they should be given drink
of mixture of sour milk or buttermilk
in which have been beaten up about
three eggs yolks per quart Of milk.
This mixture should be accessible for
the first "a hours they are under the
brooder stove. For the next seven
days they should be fed five times a
day with a sufficient amount of chick
feed-which may be mixture or
equal parts Of fine cracked corn, fine
cracked wheat, and steel-cut oats-to
last ten minutes. AS soon as this mix
ture is eaten, they should be given
sufficient amount of an egg-and-mash
mixture to last them about ten minutes
more, made with IL egg yolks to each
one and one-half pounds of mash, and
mixed thoroughly to produce really
crumbly mixture. Enough of this
mash should be led to provide one egg
yolk to each 80 chicks daily.
The second week this feeding should
be continued if a sufficient supply OF
eggs Is available. Toward the end OF
the second week the regular laying dry
mash may be given an hour both morn
ing and afternoon, increasing the
length Of time until 1t is constantly
before the chicks.
The eggs used in this mixture may
be those taken out Of the incubator on
the seventh and fourteenth-day tests.
They will aid materially In the de-
velopment Of the chicks and will pre-
vent leg weakness to large extent.
If no eggs are available, pint OF cod
liver oil mixed with 100 pounds OF
mash may be substituted for the egg
and-mash mixture.
From the time the chicks are three
weeks old, they should be fed three
times day with equal parts OF mash
and chick feed.

Make Good Silage From
Different Legume Crops

\
Some farmers have reported excel
lent results In making silage from al
falfa, clover, and other legumes, while
others report that their legume silage
was so poor the cows would not eat It.
The great extremes in the results
reported as to the palatabilty Of le-
gume silage led Professor Eckles to
investigate this question. He found
that the difference in quality was ap-
parently due to the amount of water
In these legumes when ensiled. For
Two years they had made good alfalfa
silage at the Missouri station, but the
next two years the silage was practi-
cally worthless. In going over this ex-
perience, it was noted that the first
two years were dry years and the
analysis Of the alfalfa when ensiled
showed a high percentage of dry mat
ter. The next two years were wet
years and the analysis those years
showed that the dry matter content
was considerably less at the time the
green alfalfa was ensiled. Further in
yestigations showed that If alfalfa
were made into silage when green and
succulent, as 1t is at the usual time
Of making hay, 1t contains about 20
pounds of dry matter to the hun
dred and, under these conditions,
would not make good silage. If it
were drier and more mature and con-
tanned approximately 40 pounds OF
dry matter to the hundred, then it
makes good silage.

Cleanliness Is Big
Factor With Chicks
Many Ailments of Young
sters Can Be Prevented.

''The biggest factor in growing good
pullets is cleanliness" says w. ii.
Allen, specialist In poultry husbandry
at tie New Jersey State College OF
Agriculture, New Brunswick. "Such
troubles as intestinal worms, coccidi-
osis, and paralysis are some Of the
troubles in pullet raising which can
be prevented by cleanliness. AT the
time of Matching the chick is free
from all diseases except bacillary
white diarrhoea, and is free from this
disease as well, unless the breeding
stock is infected. Deaths alone are
not caused by disease; digestive or
gans of surviving chicks may be in
jured, thus resulting in inefficient
food assimilation.
Cleanliness starts with the coop.
This should be thoroughly cleaned
each week, the litter and droppings
removed and new litter put in. The
ground is the next source of trouble
to be watched. The soil next to the
house should be turned under from
time to time, and especially during
wet weather. The house should be
wired so that the chicks cannot get
under it, as this ground will get
moldy and become infected with dis
ease. All poultry manure on the farm
should be kept dry during the summer
months and the manure shed should
be screened to prevent flies froli
breeding In 1t. Flies are the source
of much Of the tapeworm troubles.
Just because one flock Is laying 80
per cent during November, is no rea-
son why all will. Whether flock
lays well next winter or not depends
upon how well they have been grown.
Last, all old birds should be quar-
antined from the young stock. Old
stock often carry disease, though they
may not show 1t; hence, they are
menace to the growing stock"
