Interest Boys in
Managing Trees
Club Members Being Taught
How to Handle Pine Wood
Lots on Farm.
Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)


Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Club boys in New Hampshire have
demonstrated through Junior extern
sion forestry project that trees may be
looked upon and managed as crop
if given attention under the direction
of forestry expert. A report re-
ceived by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture states that club
boys are being taught the management
Of pine wood lots through handling a
quarter of an acre up to an acre on
the family farm. The work has been
received with enthusiasm and has
served it's purpose very effectively. 1t
consists Of two general types of ac-
tivity- planting and thinning Some
times the latter work is referred to
as improvement cutting, or wedding.
Different Cuttings.
1t was found necessary to emphasize
and call attention of club members
to the different types of improvement
cuttings and to prepare definite in
structions, both written and oral, for
each type. Each lot presents differ
ent conditions, and the solution of
problems which require a personal
visit of the Junior extension agent.
This limits the number Of club MEM
bers who can undertake the work until
forestry specialist can be added to
the extension staff.
The boys who take part in the tree
planting division are expected to plant
at least fourth of an acre between
March / and June this year. The
extension agent will supervise the pur-
chase and planting Of the trees. Each
club member is to report the number
of trees living on October Is. 1925.
Improvement Cutting.
improvement cutting deals with
three groups Of trees young pine
stands under ten years Of age, those
between ten and thirty. years old, and
those over thirty years. The object
in the first group Is to free the young
group from overlapping older or I'M
desirable trees; in the second, to con-
centrate growth on the more valuable

crease the diameter growth of the
trees and the total production Of the
stand.
Thirty-one boys enrolled In the
planting work last year and set out
over 10000 seedlings. Some Of these
were planted by boys on town land,
some on national reservations, and
others on the home fam wood lot
Several boys enrolled for thinning.
The planting work received more pop
ular support and public praise than
the wood-lot management phase. 70
give this new project start the So
ciety for the Protection Of New Hamp-
shire Forests has offered generous
money prizes for state and county
forestry contest which started this past
fall. six counties have entered, and
a fresh impetus is being given the
Junior forestry work. The contest will
extend until next October.

MOTHER HEN DOES
BEST WHEN COOPED

1t is not good poultry management
to allow the mother hen to range I'M
restricted with her chicks. With such
freedom the hen frequently takes her
brood through wet grass and, as a
result, some are chilled and die, espe-
cially the weaker ones which are
likely to be left behind. The loss of
young chicks which follows such a
practice is large and mainly prevent
able. Furthermore, the food which
q brood allowed to range with the hen
obtains goes very largely to keep up
the heat of the body and the chicks
do not make as good growth as they
otherwise would.
Chick losses Of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting the hen
in coop. Any style of coop which
is dry, ventilated, and can be closed
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats and other animals, and
which. while combining the hen, will
allow the chicks to pass in and out
freely after they are a few days old,
will be satisfactory. The hen should
be confined until the chicks are
weaned, though small yard may be
attached to the coop, If desired, to al
low the hen to exercise. The fence
can be raised from the ground far
enough to allow the chicks to go in or
out, but not high enough for the hen
to escape. BY using the coop the chiefs
can find shelter and warmth under
the hen at any time and the weaklings.
after few days, may develop into
strong, healthy chicks.
When chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become infested
with lice. If the lice get very numer-
GUS, they greatly retard the chicks
growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect pow
der before she is put in the coop with
che chicks, and at intervals Of several
days or week thereafter. The baby
chicks should be examined for lice, pa r
ticularly on the head, under the wing
and about the vent. If any are found,
a little grease, such as lard, should
be rubbed In those places. Apply
grease moderately, as too much will
sinjure the chicks. The chicks should
be examined frequently and the treat
ment repeated if lice are found on
them.

Swine Production
Of Big Importance
Necessary Feeds Should Be
Considered First.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In utilizing farm wastes and In con-
verting the concentrates raised on the
farm into marketable product, the
hog is by far the most valuable farm
animal, points out the bureau of ami
NAL industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in it's new
Farmers Bulletin 1437, Swine Pro-
duction. All regions OF the United
States may be considered suitable for
raising hogs. The feeds used to grow
and fatten hogs can be produced to a
greater or less extent in practically
every part of the country. Without
the hog, profits in the big cattle-fat-
tening industry Of the Central West
would be jeopardized.
The feeds necessary to grow and
fatten hogs should be given first con-
sideration when the question Of loca-
tion Of a farm for hog raising is being
contemplated. Feeds can be produced
more abundantly in some localities
than in others. Other factors, such
as markets, climate and quality Of
soil also should be studied. 1t is best
to start with but a few sows. As
the herd increases in number a care
full study Of the farm should be made
to determine what crops it will pro-
duce most successfully and how and
to what extent hogs fit into the gen.
eral plan for that particular farm.
1t is always advisable to use pure
bred animals in founding herd Much
time and money are lost by starting
with low-grade sows and building up
the quality Of the herd by the use of
pure bred boars.
Copies of the bulletin may be had
free, as long as the supply lasts, from
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture, Washington, D. @.

CROPSMEN DEVELOP
NEW PEA VARIETIES
New Types Better Suited
to Canning Purposes.

Through the breeding Of peas of bet
ter quality it is hoped that the lead
of Wisconsin in the nations pea pro-
duction is being maintained. Wiscon-
sin now produces AZ per cent of the
nations canning peas.
The experiment association has been
doing pea-breeding work since 1900
with the result that Wisconsin now
has varieties of peas which fulfill the
requirements of the state. E. j. Del
wiche, in charge of the northern
branch agricultural experiment sta
ton, asserts that Wisconsin will con-
tinue to breed and grow even better
peas.
New strains of peas are now being
developed which yield much better
than the old varieties did These va
rieties are bred at the experiment sta
tion and then disseminated to the
members of the experiment associa-
ton for seed plots. After enough seed
has been grown the variety Is then
grown on commercial basis and Is
canned. The Horal is the new strain
which is in the lead now, according to
Delwiche During the last year in a
trial the Horal yielded $3.50 per acre
as against $16O for the Alaska, which
was once considered a good yielder
Other new strains which are being
developed are the Badger, Ashford,
Acme, Hustler and Primal. The Ash
ford is a new strain of Horsford with
smaller size pea and shorter blossom
ing period. The Acme and Hustler are
early, notwithstanding types of
Alaska, The Primal is an early type
selected from cross of Horsford and
Surprise which was made in 1916. Del
wiche believes that it will be possible
to develop a range of varieties with
varying periods required for maturity.
,rhe problem of having a great number
OF peas ready to can at the same time
will then be lessened.
Discuss Problem Of Grading.

Wheat Hay Not Favored
for Feeding Dairy Cows

Wheat hay contains little more
digestible nutrients than oat hay 1t
contains more carbohydrates, hence
is not quite SO desirable for dairy
cows and growing stock. A mixture
of cat and wheat should make very
fair horse hay. 1t would have about
the same feeding value as timothy.
Any green crop should be cut for
hay when the kernels are in the milk
stage. 1t Is not difficult to cure In
good weather, but it is difficult to get
such crop put up without getting
more or less dirt in it from the field,
as these crops do not form sod as
do the permanent grasses, like timothy
and bromus. Cure. as you would tim
othy. A little more time is required.

Every thistle cut this year means a

Uncle Alb says when dollars begin

There are 33 times as many dairy

You like salt with your meals; try

stable.
A grease coating on plowshares and
mold board comes off a great deal
easier than a rust coating.
Put a spring-bottom can full of good
machine oil on every wheeled imple-
ment that has place to carry one.
Young chicks are killed by kindness
when they are fed before As hours aft

they live on the yolk of the egg dur

Perennial vegetables and small
fruits may be profitably fortified with
a good dressing Of stable manure. Be
liberal with the application and culti-
vate it into the soil early in the spring.

FAVOR "WHlTE GOLD"
FOR BADGER FARMS
Farmers Are Urged to Be on
Lookout for Deposits
of Rich Material.

Mari, sometimes called white gold"
is growing rapidly in favor as source
of lime for Badger farms.
G. ]. Chapman of the soils staff Of
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
reports that white gold deposits have
been found throughout the limestone
region of the state and to an extent of
more than so miles into the sandstone
regions beyond the limestone areas.
Up to the present time there have been
mari pits opened and used in the coun-
ties of Douglas, Washburn, Burnett,
Polk, Barron, Eau Claire, Crawford,
Grant, Dane, Rock, Jefferson, Racine,
Waukesla, Dodge, Columbia, Fond du
Lac, Sheboygan, Marinette, Oconto,
Brown, Outagamie, Waupaca, Wau-
shara, Adams, Juneau, Marquette,
Green Lake, Winnebago and Manito-
voc. Then, there are mari excavations
now going on in the counties of Port
age, Waupaca, Waushara and Adams,
the Portage and Waupaca excavations
being worked most intensively Of the
group.
Chapman and his associates have ex-
amined a large number of samples Of
mari that have been gathered from the
various deposits and have found that
the best samples contained as high as
80 per cent calcium carbonate equiva-
lent and one exception was SO per cent.
Most of the Badger mari will contain
approximately an average of from 60
to 20 per cent calcium carbonate
equivalent.
Bring Quick Results.
This foem of lime works quickly and
is available to the plants and soil
sooner than coarser ground limestone.
In the opinion of the states soils ex-
pert, mari should be excavated and
dumped out on the ground in piles and
remain there for three of four months
so as to so through an air-slacking
and dewatering process before being
hauled to the farms for use.
Chapman also suggests that Badger
farmers, VINO have farms within the
counties where mari has already been
discovered, keep a weather eye out for
the white gold' deposits In their
neighborhood Then, after the deposits
have been discovered the county agent
or a soils expert can be called in to
determine the best methods and means
Of mining the mari.
May Be Excavated Economically.
E'xcavating machinery is now on the
market which will successfully and
economically remove mari from the
lakes and rivers or wherever it be
found. Homemade dredges are used
by groups of farmers with good re-
suits, but the large excavators pay
best where a large quantity Of mari Is
to be removed from one place. Mari
dredging in public waters is now I'M
der public control.
Small portable galloway mari dredges
which will pile the wet material out
on the bank where it can dry are now
on the market. Such an outfit costs
from $500 to 5000. 1t can be run by
an ordinary farm tractor With such
an outfit the cost of mining out the
mari is usually low. Much of the mari
taken out by those means can be sold
for dollar a yard and still make a
profit to the operator.

FARM N N!Il

Forest fire protection costs little
and saves much.
Weeds are weeds and should be
treated as such.
Sweet corn needs the termination
test fully as much as field corn, this
spring.
Plant sound seed In well prepared
seed bed to be assured Of good
crop stand.
Pumping water by hand is all right
when man needs exercise and has
plenty of time.
The potato Is staple crop which
can profitably be grown In either q
large or small orchard.
Pity the little chicks and keep their
hover warm. They'll repay you In
eggs when they grow up.
The garden is no longer q plaything
but a very valuable aid in producing
the food supply of farm.
Proper spraying of the early Irish
potato crop has increased the yield
"A bushels per acre, according to tests
made by DR.. r. w. Leiby of the North
Carolina experiment station.
Rape should be drilled on plowed
ground at the rate of six to eight
pounds per acre. 1t grows well dur
ing the cool periods of the spring and
is In shape for feeding in June. II
can also be seeded between the corn
rows at the last cultivation and makes
an excellent crop for fall forage.

Cattle Tested at Rate
Of Six Million Annually

The tuberculin testing Of cattle, to
eradicate bovine tuberculosis from the
United States, is now going forward at
q rate exceeding six million cattle an
nually, according to a recent statement
Of the bureau of animal industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Figures for the last six months of
1924 show that under the cooperative
plan there were tested 283,935 herds
containing 3,157, 126 cattle. This rate
Of testing was noticeable increase
over that for the preceding six months.
Estimates of bureau Of animal indus
try veterinarians, based on the grad
ually increasing volume of testing, in
dicate that from six and a half to
seven million cattle will be tested dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80,
1926. This is in comparison with
about five and third million during
the fiscal year 1924.

Tight Brooder House

The brooder house should have a
tight roof and should be. up off the
ground.I Arrangements should be
made to keep the chicks shut in tight
ly at night, and the providing rodents
should be barred out. 1t is well to
have the chick runs fenced against
az many rodents as possible. Fresh
air is at all times necessary for the
normal growth and health of chicks.
This must be obtained without draft

Why Little Chicks Die

Chicks die in the shell because OF
lack of vigor in the breeding stock,
lack of moisture, overheating or chill
ing of the eggs and other causes
which are hard to explain. 1t is fact
that most poultrymen find the eggs
running close to 90 per cent in fertil-
ity, and even then have to be salts
fed with so per cent matches on the
average for the season. A lot of
chicks seem to die in the shell during
artificial incubation in spite Of the best
Of management.

Mixture Of Field Peas
and Oats Good for Hay

One of the most satisfactory annual
hay crops in the northern states where
the climate is comparatively cool and
the moisture is abudant, is mix
ture of oats and Canadian field peas.
The field pea being legume adds to
the protein compounds in the feed and
the mixture comes more nearly taking
the place of clover than most other
emergency crops. The crop can be
grown in all of the states north of the
Ohio river. and in the highest attitudes
of the western states. Both oats and
peas grow best on cool, moist clay
loan soil but they will grow on al
most any soil that Is moist and well
supplied with plant food.

Always Give Plenty of
Green Feed to Goslings

Goslings at first might have stale
bread and milk, sprinkled with sand
lots Of water and green food such as
grass or sprouted oats with the hulls
cut off. The hulls should not be
given to the young goslings. After
the first three or four days, they will
take a mixture of four parts corn
meal three parts bran, one part red
dog. and after the first week add 5
per cent Of high-grade beef scraps or
mix with milk, always mixing lit
tie fine sand with this ration. Feed
them three or four times day at
first, and three times day later. Al
ways give plenty of green food and
all the water they will drink.

Deen Soil for Orchard

Plant an orchard in deep soil on
high site. Avoid slopes too steep to
get over easily with a spraying out
at. Plant clean healthy trees; you
would not buy diseased fruit tree?
Choose a few varieties adapted to your
section, then cultivate low-growing
crops among them until they are of
bearing age. Protect the trees from
insects and from disease by spraying.
