Orchard for Every Farm
InSureS Family Health

It's no use telling any farmer who
enjoyed bowl of peaches and cream.
to enlarge his orchard. or If he didn't
produce the peaches and cream, that
he should in future do so.
Too many farms are treeless. Nut
and fruit trees should occupy sufficient
space on every farm to supply at least
shade and nuts and a variety of fruit
for home consumption, fresh and pre-
served. On nearly every farm there are
odd places that should be occupied by
grapevines of variety suited to the
soil and locality, says the Farm and
Ranch. Grapes under proper condi-
tions and care rarely fail to produce
abundantly. There is no section where
fruit of certain varieties will not grow
and prove a real blessing for the fam
lily use and If surplus is produced
there is ready market and profitable
prices near where they are grown.
1t is a sad commentary on our in.
telligence and a stain on our section
to see anyone buying from fruit stands
apples, grapes, etc, that can be grown
of as good or better quality in the
home orchard Or vineyard.
Put out as many trees, vines and
shrubs this spring as you have space
for and give them careful attention
They will return in health and pleasure
many times their cost in money and
labor.

Hog Slaughter for 1923
Breaks Previous Record

More than 100000 more hogs were
slaughtered under federal meat inspec-
ton during the calendar year, 1923,
than during any previous year, accord
Ing to figures just made public by the
bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The number slaughtered during the
year was 1888, 7OS. The best pre-
vIous record for calendar year was
made in 1922. During that year 49,
113,G29 hogs We're slaughtered.
During December, 1923. not only the
best record for the month of Decem-
ber, but for any month. was broken.
During that month 5.Gi3,759 hogs
were slaughtered under federal meat
inspection. The best previous record
for Il month of December was made
in 1918 during which month 5,661,S9O
hogs were slaughtered. The best pre-
yious record for any month was made
in January, 1919, during which month

Watermelon Seed Needs
Best Kind of Attention

Many farmers fail to secure a good
stand in their field Of watermelons,
Oftentimes they fail to secure as good
n crop of commercial size melons as
they should. Many melons show signs
OF disease. 1t is possible to. protect
against poor stands and poor crops If
proper attention is given to seed as
well rs seed beds. Seed should be
tested for termination. Then they
should be disinfected. Specialists on
truck diseases recommend the follow
ing: Take the amount of seed you
have and soak them In 1-to-1, 900
solution of corrosive sublimate Obi
chloride of mercury for ten minutes.
Do not leave them in this solution
longer than ten minutes.
Remove from the solution and wash
thoroughly in three or four changes of
clean fresh water to remove the dis
infectant. The seed are now ready
to plant.
This corrosive sublimate solution
Il to 1.0OO) is prepared by dissolving
l tablet (Which may be purchased at
any drug store) In l pint of water.
This amount is sufficient for quarter
of n pound of seed. Increase In this
proportion for larger amounts.

STRAWBERRY PATCH
FOR USE OF FAMILY

II Is difficult to find anyone who
does not like nice fresh strawberries
and even in fairly large quantities, At
tiie same time how many have all they
wantF An average-sized family of five
can comfortably consume five quarts
daily. Figure on the home patch fur
nishing for twenty days, which as a
rule would cost IS cents or more per
quart. That amount would mean SD
for berries in one season, to say moth
ing OF the surplus that could be sold
or preserved in some form. Very few
families buy $50 worth of berries in
one season. so it naturally appears
that the only solution is to have a
home patch.
There are several reasons why we
do not have more home patches. chiefly
among which are former failures and
simple neglect
sometimes people think that a rich
soil is necessary and proceed to ma
nure the soil very heavily. This is a
mistake, as frequently an excessive
amount of manure, in decomposing,
may cause the plants to rot. Rich soil
stimulates an excessive plant growth
at the expense of fruit production.
Select good clay loan soil, capable
OF retaining moisture and of only me
dium fertility.
Select perfect variety, that Is one
which does not require another variety
to furnish the pollen. The KlOndike
and Aroma are good standard varie-
ties. AS general rule, from home
standpoint. the ever-bearing variety of
Strawberries is not successful.
Set your strawberry patch as soon
as possible. Mark Off your rows at
least three feet apart and set plants
two feet apart in the row. Keep the
roots moist. Make the opening plenty
large and deep enough so the roots
may be spread out and not double up.
Set the plants to the crown, but be
sure not to cover up the terminal bud
Keep the plants cultivated from the
time they are set out until the fall
rains begin. The idea is to make n
good growth. In case the plants try
to bear the first spring-that Is, the
same spring they are set-pinch the
blossoms off and throw that nourish-
ment into plant production.
AS the runners start, train them in
the direction of the row, and in this
way solid mat in the direction of the
row will be formed by the end of the
growing season. This system of train
Ing will establish what is known as
the matted row system.-By D. c.

Get Cows Into Condition
by Liberal Corn FEEDING

Cows that are MIXED down NAV be
gotten in condition by feeding an
extra amount of corn in the grain ra.
u0n. a dry COW should always gain
In weight and this gain can be made
as quickly and cheaply with corn as
with any other grain. A mixture of
SIX parts of ground corn, two parts of
ground oats or bran and one part of
Oil meal by weight is very satisfac.
tory mixture. Cotton seed should not
be fed at this time owing to the lack
of succulent feeds consumed. When
the cow has gained as much weight
rs is desired. the corn should be re-
placed by bran and ground oats. At
least ten days before the COW is due
to freshen. bran, oats and oil meal
should constitute the grain ration.
Equal parts by weight of the first
two with about one pound of oil meal
per day forms very satisfactory ra-
tion.
When the pregnant COW is within a
few days of freshening, her grain ra-
tlon should be considerably reduced.
Bran mashes are excellent at this time
because of the laxative and cooling
nature. If constipation is in evI.
dence. one quart of raw linseed oil C.
one pound Of epson salts should be
given Many cases of milk fever could
be avoided If proper care were given
just previous to freshenipg. With the
exception Of few hours before calv-
ing, some roughage such as clover, al
falfa or soy-bean hay should be pro-
vided in liberal quantities.

Butter, Milk and Cheese
Selling at High Prices

Prices Of dairy products did not
suffer as much from the drastic de-
nation following the postwar period
as did other farm products, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Butter, cheese, and milk have
sold at prices remunerative to farm
ers. Butter Is now higher than the
general price level. Cheap feed in
western butter districts, and high
prices and some curtailment of pro-
ducton In milk districts. have en-
abled dairy farmers to weather the
storm with less adversely than farm
ers producing commodities part of
which must be exported. Poultry and
eggs have also continued on fairly
profitable basis.

Timely Spraying Will
DESTROY Apple Worms

Spraying with arsenate of lead just
after the petals of apple blossoms fall
is the most satisfactory way Of fight
ing the codling moth or apple worm,
an insect that has been known to take
at least quarter Of the crop of
apples in many states when left un-
disturbed. Forceful application Of the
spray so that some of 1t will reach
the open calyx cup, where a majority
of the young worms take their first
good meal. is recommended by A. G..
Ruggles. state entomologist and pro-
fessor Of economic entomology at the
University of Minnesota. The leaves
must be thoroughly covered with
poison and another application made
within two or three weeks after the
blossoms fall to catch larvae that
come out later, ne says.

Dwarf Trees Are Useful
Where Space Is Limited

The practice of using dwarf instead
of the ordinary standard trees Is more
or less prevalent among prospective
planters of small areas. Dwarf trees
are produced by propagatinG them
on certain stocks of roots which pe-
cause of their inherently restricted
habit of growth restrict also the size
of the tops that have been grated or
budded on them.
While earliness Of bearing, and ex-
ceptionally high quality of the prod

same of the best experience In this
country has failed to substantiate 'he
I,,tar claim, Dwarf apple and pear
trees have their place. however, IN

Do not accept any fruit trees that

son college. Some may not know
what hairy root is. but you need not
worry, for you will recognize 1t when

are due to the fact that many poor
eggs are set. Test your eggs carefully.
and take out all with thin and spotted
shells or those with cracked shells.
Make sure that all eggs set are also
Of standard size
The greatest loss in incubation oc-
ours in the embryos that die in the
shell. This may be due to faulty
methods of incubation or to eggs of
poor Matching quality. Immature pull
lets. breeding stock that has been sick
ly and birds that have been forced
heavily for winter production are ap,
to produce eggs that will not hatch
well.
Use Healthy Breeders.
All breeders used should be thor
oughly healthy; they should have
abundance of constitutional vigor; and
they should receive good breeding ra-
tions. The department advises against
the use of too much protein, probably
not over 10 per cent, in the mash ra-
tions; plenty Of green food should be
provided. Furthermore, give the
breeders as much exercise as possible.
In fact, do everything possible to
insure the production of eggs of good
Matching quality and many apparent
troubles in incubation will be solved.
