Too Many Cattle on
Range Will Spoil It
Tendency to Stock Heavily
When Pastures Are Good.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtcultute.)
Competent authorities In the range
states estimate that the condition OF
the native pastures of that area is now
only 10 to so per cent Of their original
productivity. This deterioration, says
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, has been largely the result
of overstocking. Another result of this
condition has been smaller size of cat
tie even where they are well bred.
During periods Of high prices stock
men are tempted to put on more cattle
than the range can support without
showing the effect in following years.
There Is also tendency to stock
heavily when pastures are especially
good to recover losses sustained during
bad years, with the frequent result that
the gamble is carried too far.
The conservative cattlemen, says the
department, who have developed the in
dastry to its present high standard and
acquired greater success In the range
area, have learned to stock their pas
lures to meet adverse or subnOrmal
years. When very good years come
along additional stock is bought and
'held for short time to make profitable
use Of the extra grass without taxing
the range too much. On the other
hand. many stockmen use up too much
OF the pasture and reduce the vigor of
the palatable plants.
The department says 1t Is next to
impossible to give definite figures on
the carrying capacity Of the range. The
extremely wide variation is shown by
an investigation Of range area In
New Mexico where the rainfall was
practically the same. Here the acreage
varied from % to 125 acres per cow
per year.

Soft Shelled Eggs Are
Caused bv Too Much Fat

Matching eggs should be tested as
early as the fifth day, but in the case
of beginners particularly the seventh
day of incubation is the best for the
first test. BY chat time it is an easy
matter to detect the infertile egg.
A cardboard with round hole about
an inch In diameter cut In the center
makes a good egg tester. The room
should be dark excepting for the light
used in testing. The cardboard should
be held between the operator and the
light and the eggs placed one at a
time before the small hole in the card
board. The germ will then be easily
located.
The dead germ is readily distin-
guished from the live germ, as 1t will
show a graylsh, lifeless appearance.
The infertile egg will appear as clear
as an ordinarily FIRE h egg. On the
other hand, the fertile egg will show a
dark spot in the center, with numerous
blood vessels radiatipg from It, The
eggs that do not show live germ
should of course be removed.
It is advisable to test again about
the fourteenth day, as sometimes the
germ dies In the course Of develop
ment. Such eggs should also be re-
moved at once, SIS decay Is very rapid
and frequently they cause changes In
the temperature Of the incubator.

consideration. Good health is seldom
appreciated until lost
Above all, farm life is pleasant. Who
can deny 1t after spending his boyhood
on the old farm? Work? Yes. Plenty
Of it; but pleasure, too. And pleas
ures of the most wholesome kind. Can
you forget the old swimming hole on
summer evening after a hot days work
in the field; the rainy day during hay
ing when you spent nearly all the time
fishing? When you get up on fresh
summer morning, doesn't it set your
blood tingling just to look out toward
the sunrise and follow the long line of
haze and mist as 1t rises from the
river? Will you ever forget the pic
ture of the old homestead as you come
up the lane toward the sunset after
taking the cows to pasture and see it
literally banked with all the glorious
colors of setting sun? From a neigh
boris house floats the sound of violin
and guitar with some one singing.
Here, indeed, are joys unequaled, and
if you love the farm, they are joys
which deserve to be more than men,
cries. For your own satisfaction, boys,
stay farmers

In arriving at the conclusions con-
tanned in this bulletin the yields were
taken from five portions taken on both
the uninoculated and inoculated plots.
All Of the plants were cut, the weights
of the green vines were taken and from
these acre yields were calculated. In
obtaining the weights of the peas, num-
Der of pods, and percentage distribu-
ton, 200 plants were taken from each
Of the samples and all pods and can
ning-size pods counted. The total num-
Der Of peas, the total weight of peas,
and the weights Of the various sizes
were also determined.
Careful Tests Made.
The peas after vining were passed
through a set of standard sieves. This
gave an accurate separation and Is
what the pea Gamer is striving to
attain.
For the most part Alaska peas were
used in this work. This variety Is an
early, smooth pea somewhat like the
field pea in growth and color OF vines.
1t was bred especially for canning and
constitutes the major portion OF the
early peas grown. 1t is ready for can
ming about two months after planting.

Parsnips and Satisfy

Parsnips and satisfy are two impor-
tant garden crops which require a
long growing season to mature They
They both require deep, very rich
soil, and frequent cultivation.
Parsnips seeds should be sown In
rows, from eighteen inches to two feet
apart, and from three to four seeds
should be planted to the inch. Pars-
nips seeds are not sure growers, and
they are not apt to all grow.
After the plants are large enough
to see nicely, they should be thinned
to stand from three to four inches in
the row. If the soil is very rich they
had best be left standing about six
inches apart.
Satisfy should be in rows about the
same distance apart, but the seeds
need not be planted so closely. They
are more certain to grow, and if plants
are removed, this is apt to disturb the
roots of those left, which will cause
branch roots. Branch roots In a
measure ruin the satisfy or oyster
plant, as the roots are not very large
at best. The larger they ere the bet
ter they are considered.
In preparing the soil for The beds in
which either of these vegetables are

Clover Will Do Well if
Given Real Good Chance

Every farmer likes to look at a
good field of. clover, especially on his
own farm. Older men tell us of the
time when clover grew naturally and
all that was necessary for a success
full s'catch" was just to SOW the seed.
But many years Of cropping have
brought about far-reaching changes in
the soil. Lime is continually getting
away in the drainage water, in crops
sold off the farm, and in the bones
of, animals. Phosphorus-ne never very
plentiful even in virgin soils-has
been reduced by cropping and by live
stock until today it is the limiting
element in most soils.
With these factors in mind. it Is not
hard to see why clover fails so often,
for clover needs lots of lime, and it
never does well unless plenty of phos-
phorus is present. To be sure, many
other reasons are often given for
clover failure but clover will do well
if given a real chance.

Surprise, Advancer, Perfection, Vel

are all late wrinkled sweet varieties.
They were derived from garden varie-
ties and usually mature in the order
given. incubation had the same ia
vorable effect upon these that it had
upon the Alaska peas.
Results Are Striking.
The results Of the work show con-
sclusively that incubation Of canning
peas increases the yield substantially,
increases the percentage Of the smaller
sizes of peas and produces peas Of a
better quality and higher protein
content. Furthermore, it maintains for
a longer time the best condition Of the
peas in the field; and produces In
creases in succeeding crops grown on
land formerly in peas.
incubation conserves soil nitrogen
because the pea bacteria obtain nitro
gen from the air, in which there is an
inexhaustible supply, and pass it on
in suitable forms to the peas.

SANITATION URGED
TO FIGHT DISEASE

DIR. v. A. Moore Of the New York
state veterinary college at Cornell uni
versity says that the best way as yet
known to fight the poultry plague
which has alarmed so many poultry
men is by thorough and adequate sani-
tation. No remedy is known for sick
fowls, nor is any drug known that
can be given to healthy ones to inn
munize them.
With these facts In mind, Doctor
Moore offers the following suggestions
to poultry growers to help them In
fighting this swiftly working malady:
Keep houses clean and well ventilated,
and feed no garbage containing raw
chicken flesh or viscera. AT least one
outbreak was started from feeding hens
infected viscera. Be sure that any
new fowls come from healthy source,
and isolate newly purchased fowls In
q separate house Tor at least ten days
before they are placed in the home
flock. Watch all poultry carefully.
Remove any sick ones promptly and
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
place. Burn or bury dead fowls.
Clean and dfsinfect Ill used poultry
crates brought on the premises. Cats
and dogs should not pass from one
poultry house or farm to another, and
owners, attendants, or other persons
should not go from farms on which
fowl plague exists to other poultry
farms or houses. Take precautions to
prevent the virus from being brought
to the premises on implements, cloth
ing or animals and If the virus should
gain entrance, keep 1t from getting
away and into other fiocks. All In
fected poultry houses should be
cleaned, the litter burned or buried
and the floors, roogts. feeding and wa
tering dishes and nests disinfected.
In describing the symptoms of the
disease, he says the head hangs down,
the comb and wattles become blush In
color, and the temperature, which at
first is high, drops to subnormal. The
nose and intestjnes discharge, and
this matter is heavily charged with
the virus causing the disease. AS the
plague is reported to be more active
In summer than in winter, 1t ig impor-
tant that its spread be checked and
the virus destroyed as soon as pos
sible. The main thing SAYS Doctor
Moore, is to destroy diseased birds
and keep healthy fowls away from
them, either before or after death.

Flowing Early for Soy
Beans Is Favored Plan

Success with soy beans depends
more upon good seeded than Is true
Of any other field crop. From a long
study of soy beans at the Missouri ex-
pertinent station and on farms over the
state, G, Carter urges early blowing
in case it was not done in the fall.
Soy beans cannot compete with
weeds hence the great Importance of
killing off as many weeds as possible
before the soys come up. This is ac-
complished by working the ground at
least twice before planting, once three
or four weeks before and once ahead
of the planter.
For the greater part Of Missouri and
similar ATTITUDES, the last week in May
or, the first week in June is the best
time to plant soy beans. The beans do
very poorly in cold or dry soil SO
there is always danger of the weeds
getting ahead Of them. A properly
prepared seeded is more important
than two weeks of time at the plant
ing season.

SAYS DO ONE THING
BETTER THAN OTHERS
Marinette County Farmer
Sees Specialization as Key
to Farm Success.
BY JOHN S. RAMSEY

The selection of your occupation in
life is a very serious matter. You
should not choose hastily or against
Your best Judgment. You cannot
choose life's work merely because
your father or grandfather was en-
gagged in the same pursuit before you,
or because some fond relative wants
you to follow in his footsteps. We all
have individuality; we make our own
lives, and many failures and mediocre
existences can be traced to following
some one else's wishes instead Of our
own.
Not every boy wants to follow life
of agriculture To those who don't or
think they don't would say, Follow
your own inclinations for the greatest
measure of success" To those that do
/ maintain they will never regret the
decision to make the most practical oc-
cupation on earth their life's work.
Farming can be made profitable. In
spite of all that has been said to the
made to pay.
Specialize 1t doesn't matter much in
what. Do one thing better on your
farm than it is done anywhere else. 1t
may be apples or cows or cucumbers
or seed corn or milk or pure bred
stock, but whatever 1t is, do it as per-
fectly as possible. BY specializing
do not mean one crop farming or neg
lect Of all except one line.
When you have developed something
worth while, tell folks about it. When
people hear about you, they will make
a path to your door.
Farming is Independent Not the
independence of conceit or seclusfon,
but independent action for the common
good. True farm independence might
better be expressed as initiative.
Farming is conducive to long life.
Farming is healthy and diversified. The
farmer does not become an automaton
as is the great danger of the man who
works in the great industrial centers
aLG who performs a certain task on a
certain machine eight hours day and
six days a week. If arranged properly,
farm life need not be monotonous.
Your health should be the foremost
