Favor Cultural Method
for Eradicating Garlic

The cultural method for the eradi-
cation Of wild garlic that Is advocated
by the Purdue University Agricultural
Extension department has been used
with marked success by Walter Land
ers, Indiana.
! At recent field meeting called by
County Agent Horace Copeland. Mr..
Landers explained the method to the
farmers present. The meeting was
held in field heavily infested with
garlic year ago. According tt
Landers. he plowed the field in No
vember. being careful to turn the tips
of the garlic plants completely under
In order to kill the tops. During early
April he plowed again and planted the
field to corn. By this means he has re-
duced the amount of garlic about rs
per cent.
Three years Of blowing and cult
walton are necessary to eradicate the
garlic but the results secured by Land
ers are very striking.
Details of the cultivation method
Of Graduating wild garlic can be Sc
cured by addressing the Purdue uni
partment, Lafayette. Indiana. The
work should be started about the mid.
die Of November. Indiana Extension

Glover or Alfalfa for
Bears Is Satisfactory

Herd boars are more often overfed
than underfed. say Iowa swine experts.
When an animal enters the breeding
season overfat. the results are seldom
satisfactory.
For the young boar provide ra-
ton high In protein and mineral mat
ter. SO he may develop large frame,
Glover or alfalfa In rack makes a
satisfactory winter feed and will keep
the animal In good condition.
A ration consisting Of 40 pounds of
ground oats. 40 pounds Of corn, Is
pounds Of wheat middlings and
pounds Of tankage is good. Make a
slop Of the ground feed by mixing It
with warmswater. A boar should drink
ten pounds Of water for each 100
pounds Of body weight. but will not do
so unless he has part Of It furnished In
his feed.
Plenty Of exercise and sunshine pay.
Bears dislike cold. stormy weather and
1t is usually necessary to place the
feed trough at the opposite side Of the
pen in order. to make them stir them
selves.

Worthless Filler Adds
to Cost Of Plant Food

The farmer who wishes to buy plant
food for his crops most economically
will consider three things filler,
freight and fertilizer.
This Is a statement from the New
York College Of Agriculture at Ithaca.
The soils men at the college point out
that farmers VINO buy low-analysis
fertilizers not onlytpay good round
price for the filler, which OF course
contains no plant food. but they also
have to pay freight on this worthless
material, thereby making it double
liability.
The use OF high-grade acid phos-
phate. where phosphate alone is need
ed, the purchase Of high-composition
chemicals for home mixing, and the
use of high-analysis mixtures when
factory mixed goods are used. will go
far to eliminate freight and filters and
at the same time furnish the best Of
fertilizers.

Steam Sterilizing Milk
Cans DESTROYS Bacteria

That 1t pays to steam-sterilize milk
cans has been shown conclusively by
tests made by the United States De.
partment of Agriculture. Unsteamed
cans having bacterial count OF 1884,
100000 contained $4,000, 100000 at the
end Of "a hours. while steamed cans
having a count Of 3.400 Immediately
after steaming and left practically dry
had 1900 in the same time. The bac-
terra count on steamed cans left damp
for 4S hours increased from 4.400 to
nearly 100000.

An efficient means Of control has
been evolved by the bureau Of en-

OF an arsenate of lead spray which
usually gives satisfactory control when
applied -once during the season. In
southwestern Idaho, however, 1t was
discovered shat two sprayings are nee,
essary in order to obtain satisfactory
control, because Of the fact that the
weevil continues laying eggs through
out al longer period than elsewhere.
The one thing apparently needed in the
aid Of artificial control Of the pest,
says the department. is Some more eff
cient means Of placing the available In
formation on control before the alfalfa

AS an additional means of control,
insect parasites of the alfalfa weevil
will be introduced from Europe. An
expert who was sent to France to com

tion Of these parasites has recently re-
turned after accomplishing his mission,
and shipments of parasitic material
will begin to arrive in this country

means to supplement the good work OF

France, and thus eventually to restore

Ration Devised
for Dairy Calf.
Substitute Suggested Where
Whole Milk Is Profitably
Disposed Of.

prepared By the United States Department
of Agricultural
In dairy herds whose entire output
is sold as whole milk at high prices,
there is need for means of raising
the calves on other feeds. A number
Of substitute rations have been worked
out at various experiment stations
which have proved fairly satisfactory.
On the experimental farm OF the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. at Beltsville. Md. a mixture has
been devised as the result of expert
ence, which is suggested for use In
raising calves where the whole milk
Is more probably disposed Of through
other sources.
Departments Ration.
The departments recommended ra-
tion is as follows: Take 80 parts fine
~ ground corn, is parts linseed~ oil
meal. 10 parts finely ground rolled
oats, 10 parts dried blood flour. 10
parts skim milk powder. one-half part
salt. Stir up with warm water at
the rate of pound Of the meal mix
ture to about 6 pounds Of water. In
crease gradually as the whole milk Is
decreased, until at the time the calf
is fifty days old 1t should be getting
only the Cruel. At this time ~ to
2 pounds of the meal mixed with wa
ter will constitute a days feed. The
total quantity Of milk used is about
800 pounds; IL less is fed the calves
are likely to be unthrifty.
The time at which calves can be put
ON milk substitutes alone, say depart
ment ~dairymen. depends upon the
same factors as in the use Of separ-
ated milk, namely, the breed, develop
ment, and vigor Of the calves. etc. It
is hardly safe. as rule. even with the
most vigorous ones. to attempt to put
them on milk substitutes alone with
In one month after birth; and with
calves below normal in vigor some
milk for two months or more may be
necessary to raise them.
Feeding Schedule.
The department suggests. as a
guide for Feeding the above substi-
tute tolarge, vigorous calves, the fol-
lowing schedule: First 10 days, 10
pounds Of whole milk daily; second
10 days, s pounds of milk land 04
pound Of meal (mixed up in 8 times
its weight of warm water); third 10
days. pounds milk and 0.8 pound
meal; fourth 10 Gays. pounds milk
and IL pounds meal; fifth 10. days. 2
pounds milk and s1.6 pounds meal; aft
er so days. 2 pounds meal and no
milk. Smaller and less vigorous
calves should be fed somewhat less,
and the milk feeding should be con-
tinued a little longer. In any event.
a total Of 800 pounds Of milk should
be sufficient. Grain and roughage
should be fed with milk substitutes
the same as with separated milk.
Whole milk Is the best food for a
calf: skim milk ranks second. Calves
fed the substitute as stated above
have been subject to no more diges-
tive troubles than the skim milk fed
calves and the gains in weight have
not been materially less.

full experience and we want you to
know about it. Monday morning
bright and early We set out for Far
mers' Week at Orono, our hopes
we're high but at the end of the
week we found we had set them very

welcome and some professor or stu
dent waiting to lend a hand with a
bag or a word of direction. Balentine
hall was home from the instant of
our arrival; the matron is a real
woman and we all felt we would re-
Joice to have q daughter under her
care. Supper was delicious and the
time was used in deciding what lee
lures were to be taken.

classrooms and we learned in each
class at least one thing that will
make us better farmers and no ques-
ton was too trifling for kim IN
structive answer.

A Scare Crow

Dear Editor of Kennebec Journal
l notice that Myron Palmer, a
whitefield farmer has a peck of
trouble with crows you can't string
a crow and it is only waste of
money buying Du Pont powder
trying to shoot them.
Now Myron you go down cellar
and get a large potato then go out
to your hen coop and get a handful
of feathers preferably Rhode Island
Red and stick them on the back of
the potato, put six tail feathers on
the end, the idea is to make it look
as much like a cooper's hawk as
possible. A cooper's hawk is the
only thing on this earth that will
scare a crow pink. You will prob
ably have a little trouble fixing a
head on it but you look around
over there and find a nut, I mean
horse chestnut, get a piece of
stove pipe wire inches long, put
one end into the potato and the
other in the nut and you will have
splendid specimen of cooper's hawk.
Now then take it out to that ten
acre field and put 1t on a low pole
and the first crow that comes along
and sees it will let out a piercing
screech that will be heard all over
your farm and you will have the
satisfaction of seeing him and all
the other crows beat 1t over the hill
hack OF your house and they won't

Board of Trade
Regular Meeting

The new departure of the Madi-
son Board of Trade for its regular
monthly business meeting held We'd
nesday evening in the dining room
of the Methodist Episcopal church
was a tremendous success. Notices
were sent TO the members a few days
ago announcing the fact that n sup
per would be served in fact a real
chicken feed would be provided and
with invitation to bring their wives
or lady friends.
A little before o'clock friends
and members of the Board to the
number of Is filled the long tables.
At each plate was a unique souvenir
in the shape of a miniature bag lab
elled chicken feed and which on the
investigation of some of the MEM
bers found to contain cracked corn.
A cold meat and salad supper was
served by the Ladies Aid of the NJ.
Z. church. After the supper. Presi-
dent George III. Viles called to COM
pany to order for the business meet
Ing. Brief reports were given by the
committees on bust laying and the
new auto camp.
The first matter of interest to
come up for discussion was the mat
ter of band concerts during the
summer season. 1t was voted that
ham, ID. y. Sawyer, and cIayton
Weston be elected to see what ar
rangements can be made with the
Boys band for a series of open air
concerts the coming season.
The next matter to come UP was
clean up day. After considerable
discussion it was voted to have q
clean up day for Madison and An
son. The committee elected to CO.
operate with the town authorities
in the project was E. w. Adams,
James NJ. Spence, Mrs. Ralph WEBB
ster, NJ. NJ. Spear, and Walter Ray.
Another matter that aroused con-
siderable discussion was a baseball
team to represent the town the COM
ing season. 1t was generally agreed
that a team composed of local play
ers would be good thing. 1t was
voted that the Board give its moral
backing to the project and a COM
mittee consisting of A. b. Head, z.
w. Adams, and II. w. Hamlin was
elected to represent the Board in
making arrangements for ball
team.
Just before the adjournment a
vote OF appreciation was taken In
regard to the new departure and 1t
was voted to have a supper at the
next monthly meeting.
Rev. Z. Il. Tetley left town Thurs
day for Laconia, ". H., where he
was called to attend the funeral OF
