Alsike on Wet and
Sour Soils Thrives
Plant Is Hardy Enough to
Stand Severe Winter.

Those who nave grown alsike clover
for number of years pronounce 1T
just the thing for wet and sour soils.
It's growth is Intermediate between
medium-red clover and white clover,
but it will grow where red clover Will
not. Being a perennial, it produces
crops for hay or seed for several years
and is hardy enough to stand a mora
severe winter than red clover.
Alsike clover is fine in hay and pas
ture mixtures, but those who have
grown it alone do not advocate this
practice since it has fine stem which
causes it to lodge, says a writer in
Successful Farming, When seeded
with timothy and red clover, it makes
a good horse hay, free from the dust
that is always present in clover hay.
This is because alsike clover has
smooth plant. Many plant this mix
ture who formerly only used red clover
IS an insurance against failure.
Where the ground is 100 wet for red
clover, alsike will usually take its
place, and it is not attacked by the
clover anthracnose which red clover is
subject to. Since alsike will not make
the growth red Glove will, it should
not be substituted for red clover If this
can be grown. However, where red
clover is uncertain, mixture Of the
two with timothy has advantages.
Some make practice of seeding al
sike broadcast on winter grain when
the ground is checked with frost OF
after a light snowfall, so that the seed
is carried into the ground by the melt
ing Of the snow. Narrowing when the
ground is dry is good plan in this
case. 1t is best. put in with a drill
when sown with spring sown grain.
Since alsike clover seed is about half
the size of red clover, one-half part of
alsike and one part Of red clover seed
makes an even mixture. When seeded
in this proportion, the quality of the
hay is increased and the stand is
thickened. 1t is claimed that the mix
ture will yield a greater weight Of hay
than either alone.

Alsike Improves Hay

Alsike improves the quality OF the
hay but only produces one cutting a
year. 1t can be grown on any soil
that will grow red clover. On very
wet and sour soils some farmers seed
a mixture of three to four pounds OF
.alsike and ten to twelve pounds of red
top for hay. This is seeded in the
same manner as red clover and tim
othy. A mixture of alsike and tim
othy makes a good horse hay. When
a field is to be left in meadow or pas
ture for more than two years, two
pounds of alsike clover in the mix
ture of red clover and timothy will
take the place of timothy after the sec
ond year.

Precocious Pullets Are
Producers of Few Eggs

Pullets that are precocious develop
rapidly but never attain sufficient size
and are apt to be a flash in the pan.
One flock owner had IN example one
year that was typical Of this condition.
After a growth of about four and a
half months, production started. This
pullet was little, understood individ-
ual that was lacking in reserve. Her
production during the year was shown
by the trap nest to be heavy lay of
about 20 eggs that utilized the reserve
and was followed by a resting period
of almost month. She finally finished
the year with a rather low record
There was not enough chicken there
to stand the grind.

Cattle tuberculosis Is
Routed in MANY States

During August 461, 1S6 cattle were
tested for tuberculosis by the bureau
Of animal industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with the various states. OF this
number 1880, or about 8 per cent,
reacted to the test, indicating that they
were infected. Workers for the eradi-
cation Of bovine tuberculosis now have
more than 100000 cattle under their
supervision.
Under the plan of accrediting coun-
ties which have less thin one-half of
1 per cent tuberculous cattle there are
now 40 counties which have been Off
cially designated as "moG fed accredit-
ed counties" Nineteen of these coun-
ties are located in North Carolina.
Michigan has seven Indiana, Tennes-
see, Florida three each; Kansas, two !;
and various other states the remainder.

Keeping Seed Potatoes
to Prevent Sprouting

Potatoes kept for seed should not be
allowed to grow long white sprouts
Such sprouts can be broken off and
new sprouts will come; but the potato
that must feed the new plant until it
gets a root system of its own will be
greatly weakened by long sprouts. To
prevent this undesirable sprouting
keep the potatoes at a temperature Of
50 or 40 degrees and treat the seed
early for scab, then as planting time
arrives spread them in the light where
they will grow short strong sprouts.
These sprouts are not disturbed by
planting, nor killed by the formalde-
hyde treatment having been previous
ly treated. They grow fast when
planted, for the seed has not been
weakened.

Poultrymen Should Keep
Watch on Mash Hoppers

Poultrymen should feed well bal
anced, appetizing ration; and, espe-
cially ought they be sognizant Of
whether the feed is being eaten, and
whether the food stream is moving as
it should.
Any evident decrease in feed con-
sumption foretelIs the coming of one
Of two things: A decrease in egg
production or sickness, perhaps both.
AS hens prefer the grain feed to
dry mash any loss of appetite is re-
flected in decreased consumption Of
mash. This is fed in hoppers, which
holds three or more days supply, maxi
ing decreased consumption more diff
ficult to see. Therefore, watch your
mash hoppers. They are as horoscopes
pointing to your future fortune.

Insure Dry Poultry House

In the Middle West every poultry
house should be made with double
walls, with dead air space between.
Such a construction will ordinarily in
sure dry house and for very simple
reason. Moisture collects on the walls
because the outside is cold and the in
side of the wall is warm, just exactly
as in a warm room moisture collects
on the outside of water pitcher con-
tanning ice water. OF course the proc
ess is reversed, but the principle is
the same.

How to Keep Celery
Until Late in Winter

Celery that has been grown and
banked up and touched by light frosts
can be saved so that it will last well
into the winter, say horticulturists at
Iowa State college. Before the plants
get hard freeze. it is advisable to
cover them about two inches deep with
q mulch of straw or manure. This will
prevent the plants freezing and will
keep them bleaching for some time. AS
soon as the ground begins to freeze
dig up the plants, saving as much
roots as possible, and remove them to
the cellar. Place the plants in bed
of sandy soil in a cool place, although
not directly under a window or they
will be frozen
In keeping the soil moist, be sure
that water is placed on the. roots, but
keep it away from the tops, as they
soon become rotten. BY careful ham
ding, celery may be KEEP. in this man
ner until March.

Poultry Hints

flock of standard bred Barred
Plymouth Rocks round out a well-bal-
anced farm program.
There are undoubtedly more chicks
lost each season through oyerfeeding
and killing than through any other
one cause.
The number os eggs hen will lay
per month depends on her capacity
to digest food. Do not breed from
birds with pinched backs, little depth
in rear and which lack fullness in
the abdomen.
Ducks can be proftably bred for
four years. Geese can be bred for
many years-for a period that seems
incredible.
Where chicks that are Matched from
puIlet eggs are smaller, they fail to
overcome this defect, but make slower
growth during the entire season.
There is perhaps no greater factor
contributing to the lowering of the
vitality Of chicks than the continual
breeding from pullets mated to cock
erels.

Oyster Shells for Pullets

If the outlets receive plenty of oys-
ter shells in the fall they may be able
to build up reserve of lime which is
useful when egg production begins.
Then there will be very few soft
shelled eggs, and this reduces the dam
ger of the egg-eating habit during the
winter. Supplying the mineral ration
to hens seems to give them something
they crave. In return it reduces the
prevalence of the common Vices dur
ing winter confinement such as the
feather-pulling, egg-eating and other
habits of Incidence.

Clean Up All Rubbish

Cleaning up the old vines, stalks,
canes, ETC., which have served their
useful purpose this year will do much
to help control disease and insect
pests next year. Disease organisms
and insect eggs are often carried over
from one season to the next in the
trash left after the crops have been
harvested. Burning is a sure way of
destroying such insect and disease

Eradicating Wild Onion

Grow garlic is the name frequently
applied to the wild onion. Probably
the best method of exterminating the
wild onion is putting the ground down
to grass for few years, and pasturing
it closely. Simply pillow the ground
deeply and seed heavily to the grass,
and keep a heavy sod, maintaining 1t
by fall sowings Of additional grass
seed each year. Pasture just as close
ly as possible. 1t is advisable to run
sheep on such pastures, rather than
dairy cows, of course.

Sow More Wheat When Late

One must SOW wheat late in the fall
to avoid the Hessian fly, and late SOW
ing need not detract from the yield in
anyway. have always sowed my
wheat late, and can get just as good
crop that way, but it is we'll to SOW
an extra peck to each acre, says
writer in the Farm Journal The peck
will surely be more than returned at
harvest time. I have raised wheat for
many years, sowing red clover on it
in the spring to be plowed back green
in the fall. This supplies humus and
nitrogen for another wheat crop.

Kill Walnut Caterpillar

Lead arsenate at the rate of three
pounds of powder to each 100 gallons
of water may be used to kill the wal
nut caterpillar. However, in fall the
csterpillars have the habit Of coming
down the trunk of the tree and gath
erfng in clusters near the base where
they mott and then return to the
leaves of the tree to resume their feed
ing operations. They may be de-
stroyed in large numbers when found
in these clusters.

Reason for Damp Houses

Many poultry houses are damp be-
cause the ground on which they stand
is not well drained This is probably
the most common cause of dampness
and one that is most easily corrected.
A small job Of thing may do the work.
The tile should be laid clear around
the house and connecting line or two
under it. With plenty of fall and
clear outlet such job will effectively
remove the cause of excess moisture,
unless the house is situated in too low
place, in which case it should be
moved to higher ground.

Winter Feed for Bees

quality of honey, which is just as free
as possible of indigestible waste mat
ter. During prolonged cold spells they
may be confined to the hive for weeks.

Kill Ants in Beehive

Perhaps the best way to get rid Of
ants in a beehive is to find their
nest, punch hole into it with a stick
or rod, pour an ounce of carbon bisul-
phide in the hole and quickly plug it
up This will kill the ants. The ants
may also be poisoned by placing some
sweet poison in box having an open
ing too small for the bees to enter.
Ordinarily, when there is a strong
colony in the hive, there will be no
trouble from the ants.

Lime Needed on Meadows

Many of our grass meadows are sour
and timothy and red clover will be
killed out if lime is not used. Ground
limestone will be better than burned
lime for the purpose. The fall is a
good time to use the lime. Remem-
Der that lime alone will not keep up
the fertility of the land. There must
be at least as much plant food sup
piled as is taken away in the hay
each year A good mixture of chem
icals should be used along with the

Stacking Soy Bean Hay

In stacking and moving away soy
bean hay, if the hay is slightly damp,
alternate layers of other hay or straw
can be used to good advantage. Where

with other hay, but use all tedding ma

Housing Different Hens

Too often we find hens of all sizes
and ages being housed together in one
pen, all getting. the same feed and
same treatment and each expected to
do as well in egg production as the
other. This method of housing the
different hens should not be resorted
to, as such methods will not bring in
the best returns.

Pocket mice in certain parts of the

Enormous Grain Loss.
Unusual activity on the part of
pocket mice in Adams and Franklin
counties caused enormous losses to
the standing grain. Nine demonstra-
tioAs on the use Of steam-rolled oats
poisoned with strychnine were held in
August in these two counties and q
500 pounds of poisoned grain were dis
cooperation of the county agent of
Franklin county, where 2,700 dead
pocket mice resulted from six demon
STATIONS.
Damage Done in Winter.
AS further instance of pocket mice
as pest may be cited the case Of
two flower growers of Olympia, Wash.
who reported that moles and mice
were responsible for the loss of 500
flower bulbs during the spring. The
loss was not noticed until the bulbs
were dug for transplanting. Damage
of this kind is usually done in the
winter and early spring, so that it is
not discovered ordinarily until too late
to apply preventive measures. Plans
for rodent control in the Washington
district include a great deal more
work on pocket mice.
