Time to Harvest Sweet
Glover Crop for Seed

The best time for harvesting a
sweet clover seed crop is when three
fourths Of the seed pods have turned
dark. 1t should be cut in the morning
when 1t Is rather tough, in order to
minimize shattering Of the seed. 1t is
advisable also to haul 1t on tight-bot-
toned racks on account of the shat
tering
No machine has yet been developed
that will give absolute satisfaction in
harvesting sweet clover. but the grain
binder will probably do better work
than other machines. If much Of the
clover is to be handled, it will pay to
equip the binder with pans to catch
the shattered seed. A description of
how to make these Is afforded in
Farmers Bulletin 1856, published by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Washington.
Unless the sweet clover can be
threshed within two weeks after cut
ting, stacking is advisable. The best
plan Is to thresh as soon as possible
with the minimum amount sf han
ding, owing to the tendency of the
seed to shatter. A clover huller or a
separator, with some adjustments. will
thresh the crop.

FARM
QEk$$
YOUNG PORKER WILL
MAKE CHEAPER GAIN

When does q pig make its cheapest
gains, and when does 1t sell for the
highest price per pound7 This is q
question that often confronts the
farmer who Is raising pigs for the
market. says Prof. l.. V. Starkey, chief
OF the animal husbandry division at
Clemson college, In discussing ths
marketing Of hogs.
Experimental data prove beyond o
doubt that the younger the pig the
cheaper the gains. A review Of the
pig market reveals another very in
teresting fact. namely, that feeder
pigs sell for higher price per pound
than those which are ready for the
block. II we put these two ideas to-
gether 1t would seem that there II
more money in producing feeder pigs
than there is in producing fat hogs
ready for market OF course there are
many factors. says Professor Starkey,
to take Into consideration in produc-
Ing feeder pigs. For example, fairly
large litters must be raised. II the
herd does not average at least six pigs
per litter there will be no money in 1t.
Large litters and cheap pigs 60 to-
gether.
One reason why feeder pigs are %
much in demand is that there are so
many who do not keep a brood SOW
and yet they want one or two pigs to
fatten for pork.
The man who produces feeder pigs
IN large scale must have consid-
erable equipment. Several small lots
are necessary in order that not more
than two brood sows may be in a lot.
Usually good results cannot be OBJ.
tained by keeping several brood sows
and litters together.
With the small-lot proposition there
also comes the problem Of fresh water
Running streams are ideal for the
hogs, but hard to keep fenced. II
water is piped to the lots. care must
be taken so that there will be no mud
wallows.
Male pigs should be castrated al
from six to ten weeks of age. The
younger they are castrated the less
will be the shock. The best time to
wean feeder pigs is when they are
eight weeks Of age.
The greatest demand for feeder
pigs is In the fall when corn is ready
to be used. At this time carlot ship.
ments can be made.

work which has been carried on for
the past three years whereby the ynst

sion of the government at the close of
the World war are being made over to
make them suitable for constructive
purposes. The distribution has ALREADY
resulted in saving millions of dollars
10 the people of the United States.
Used for Open-Air Work.
fyrotol Is composed largely of
ground smokeless powder, prepared by
process perfected by George K. Boyd
OF the bureau of public roads. 1t is
peculiarly adapted for blasting stumps
and for work of similar character. If
can be used for all open-air work with
out causing headaches or other Ill
enects and will not stain the hands or
clothing. 1t is low-freezlng explosive
and can be used with good results In
all ordinary temperatures. The cart
ridges are of the same size and shape
as the ordinary dynamite cartridge.
Each box contains 20 pounds, about
l5O cartridges, and each cartridge is
approximately equal in strength to a
cartridge of 20 per cent dynamite. 1t
Is safe to handle, providing that the
ordinary care exercised In handling
dynamite or other explosive is used.
It is detonated by the No. 6 caps com
nonly used with commercial dyna-
mites.
Uses for Explosive.
The laws under which these explos.
ives are made available authorize dis.
tribution to the state highway commits,
sions for use in road building, and to
farmers for land clearing There is
no charge for the explosive itself, but
the consumer has to pay the cost of
preparation and the freight charges
These charges are different in various
sections of the country, but, in gen
eral, the cost is about half the cost of
an equivalent amount of commercial
explosives. In each state, where there
Is sufficient interest in agricultural ex-
plosive, some state agency, usually
the state agricultural college, takes
the orders of the individual farmers,
pools them into carload lots to de-
crease the freight charges and handles
the details of the distribution. The
Department of Agriculture cannot &C,
cept orders for pyrotol except through
such state agencies.
Shipping points for the explosive
will be Repaun0, N. j., Barksdale'
Wis, and DUPONT, Wash.
1t is probable that this pyrotol Will
be the last of the surplus war ex-
plosives to be distributed by the De-
partment of Agriculture.

Maintaining Profits in
Handling Chicken Flock


To maintain profits in the handling
of poultry one must maintain the egg
yield, says A. G. Smith. head OF the
noultry division of the Minnesota ex-
periment station, University Farm
st. Paul.
Mr. Smith believes that the usual
dwindling of profits in egg produc-
ton in the warm weather Is largely
caused by lax methods. and that 1t Is
n mistake to discontinue feeding a
good rich-laying mash during the sum-
mer season. He says 1t will not do
to let tlocks which are restricted 10
hard grain rations depend alone upon
such insect life as they find on the
range for their animal food. This Is
true because the essential egg-making
materials are lacking in the feeds OBJ
tained and hens cannot manufacture
eggs without the necessary raw mate
rials.
Further, to maintain egg production
in the summer Mr.. Smith says thht
nou,trv houses should be well venti-
lated and kept ns cool as posslpie py
opening or removing windows, ana II
necessary by Installing adoilioha,
means of ventilation; thnt mites anu
lice should be destroyed and young
and old stock kept separate.
Whatever you do, says Mr.. Smith,
feed regularly and feed literally, put
ling into the mash more wheat py,
products and more ground oats anu
,u,tinp into the grain fed more wheat

ON RAILROAD LEASE
Opposition to CIinchfieId Ac-
ton May Now File Their
Modified Plans.

All parties to the contest over the
proposed leasing of the Carolina, C1inch-
field and Ohio railroad by the Louisville
and Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line
railroads were asked today by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to sub
NIT their views upon a proposal of its
own in the matter. The commission
suggested that the lease of the Clinch-
field system be granted to the two rail-
roads desiring it, but that series OF
conditions designed to continue the
Clinchfield's usefulness to all railroads
and shippers on equal terms be at
tachcd.
The leasing railroads would be re-
uuired by the suggested conditions to
maintain the Clinchfield as Il separate
unit of transportation under its own
management. Further. they would be
required to maintain all existing joint
arrangements with other railroads for
through traffic, and to set up such new
arrangements as might be ordered in
the future.
The Clinchfield would be forbidden
to favor the two railroads owning it
under the lease with special traffic
arrangements. The lease itself would
be made to terminate at the will of
the commission.
Opposition to the leasing EFFORTS OF
the Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville
and Nashville railroads was Instituted
by the Seaboard Air Line and by some
of the southeastern communities and
civic organizations. Under the terms
