Fruit Growers Urged to
Order All Stock Early

Prospective fruit growers should or
der their nursery stock early in the
fall, STIMULATING the grades desired, and
that delivery shall be made on a desig-
mated date. Nursery trees are usually
graded according to height, although
diameter measurement an inch or two
above the bud should be taken into
consideration. Trees for planting
should be well grown and stocky, ex-
plains E. III. Rawl, assistant extension
horticulturist at Clemson college, who
points out the method of handling.
When you receive your trees they
should be Immediately be unpacked
and heeled-in where the soil is moist.
This heeling-in process is accomplished
by placing the roots in trench foot
or 10 inches deeper than they are to
be planted, with the earth packed
around them. Trees are usually leaned
at 45 degree angle in the heeling-in
trench.

brought out in the case of hogs or
poultry on the dairy farm. Skim milk
can always be used advantageously in
feeding where hogs and poultry are
kept.
Economical Herds High Producers.
The study in Walworth county
showed that the group of most eff
cient producers were from the high
producing group and that whereas the
costs per cow were slightly less than
were those Of the less efficient herds.
the costs per hundredweight of milk
produced were much lower than those
Of the less efficient herds. In other
words, it is very much easier to make
good returns with cows which produce
1000 or 5000 pounds of milk annually
than with cows which produce but
1000 or 5000 pounds.
Since there are many factors enter
ing into farm production over which
the farmer has little or no control. It
is not safe to put all of the eggs into
one basket. He cannot control short
seasons, wet planting times, dry sum-
mers, local hailstorms, early frosts or
other devastating works of nature
which occur.

Pruning Necessary for
Tender Grade Varieties

Pruning is necessary for tender
grape varieties such as Concord and
Brighton which need to be laid down
and covered with dirt to avoid winter
killing. The removal Of excess wood
makes covering easier Fall pruning
is also recommended for the hardy
varieties.
Vines in their first season are usu-
ally cut back to one or two buds.
This may be repeated the second
year, particularly If the vines are
weak. Developing the permanent
training system for the vine is started
with vigorous vines in the second sea-
son and in all other cases in the third
year. The system selected at first
should be continued without change.
Changing the system will reduce the
crop.
The "fan" system Is common and
easy to follow Five vigorous canes
are selected each fall and pruned to
eight or ten buds EACH All other
growth Is removed With hardy va
rieties the selected canes may be tied
at once to the trellis, spreading the
canes like the ribs of a fan. Tender
varieties are tied up in the spring
after the dirt covering has been off
for three or four days.
The "horizontal trunk system is
also common and is very easy to ham
die for winter protection. One strong
cane is left in the second or third
year and tied horizontally on a wire
about u to 18 inches from the ground.
The following year the lateral shoots
from this cane are cut back to spurs
eight to twelve inches long and the
shoot at the end of the cane is used
to extend the horizontal trunk TO
total length Of eight or ten feet. After
the trunk is developed the lateral
growth is cut back to spurs each fall.

Corn and Soy Beans Are
Good for Hogging Down

The practice of hogging down corn
is growing by leaps and bounds In
all the corn belt states. 1t has been
proved to be profitable. 1t saves
labor. In fact, it seems as though
when hogs gather their corn in the
held, especially SO when 1t is prop
erly supplemented with a protein feed
like tankage, they can produce more
pork from a given amount than when
fed in dry lot. Perhaps that is due
to the more sanitary conditions under
which they live In the cornfield. Per-
haps, under those conditions, their
digestive organs work efficiently. Be
that as 1t may, as previously stated,
the practice is profitable.
In more recent years it has been
found that given acreage of mixed
corn and soy beans will produce more
pork than corn alone The reason is
that soy beans furnish protein in
which corn is lacking. BY growing
the two crops together ration that
is well balanced for hogs is obtained.
Besides, the leaves of the beans
furnish succulence along with the
protein in the seed and that is an
advantage. These leaves contain
vltamins that are essential to the
growth.

Rye Is Surest for
Winter Cover Crop
Makes More Growth on Poor
Soils Than Any Other.

OF all winter cover crops, rye is the
sureSt and the nearest fool proof.
ut will make more growth on poor
soils, whether clay or sandy, than
any other. 1t Is resistant to winter
killing, and may be sown successfully
from August to December; but, Octo-
Der / is probably the best date of
sowing for most localities" says e. G.
Blair, agronomist for the North Caro-
lima State College of Agriculture. "A
bushel of seed should be used per
acre. The seed may be scattered over
corn or cotton field and covered with
a one-horse cultivator. This may be
done at laying-in time or just after
the first picking of cotton. Rye may
be sown this way in a corn field, or
the corn may be removed, the land
disked and the rye drilled in"
Mr. Blair states that rye often gives
good grazing in the fall when sown
early. 1t will also give grazing in
the early spring. Live stock should
be taken off In time for the crop to
make good growthsfor turning under.
The rye should be turned under as
soon as the heads begin to show, as
at this time it will rot quickly in the
soil. If allowed to become too ripe
the stems may interfere with cultlva-
ton and soil moisture conditions all
summer.
Rye is not a legume, Mr.. Blair
points S--t ond taIxnS No nitrooon FROM
the air. Its value is in the proven
ton Of soluble plant food from leach
ing out of the soil, the checking of ero-
sion and in adding organic matter to
the soil when turned under. 1t is one
of the best crops to improve the filth
of the soil in this way. Whenever
the success of a leguminous cover crop
is doubtful, rye should be sown with
the legume.

Use Of Dependable
Disinfectants Urged
Proper Sanitation Essential
With Farm Stock.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
In the disinfection of premises and
buildings and in preparing dips for
live stock, products of known depend
ability are essential for satisfactory
results. This timely counsel is issued
by the bureau of animal industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in connection with recent rul-
ing which requires cattle owners to
disinfect their premises before the
government will pay indemnity for
animals found to be tuberculous.
For many years the bureau has
conducted extensive research and
thousands Of field tests with dips and
disinfectants. Accordingly, it is pre-
pared to give detailed information on
the subject. Live stock owners may
consult the bureaus veterinary in
spectators or may obtain suitable bull
letins dealing with disinfection and
sanitation on application to the Unit
ed State Department of Agriculture
Washington, d. G.
Disinfectants differ greatly in thei,
effectiveness against various disease
organisms and parasites. Hence it is
essential, first, to select one known
to be suitable for the particular pur-
pose in view and, secondly, TO use it
in the proper strength. When COM
mercial preparations are used, it is
usually the part of economy to select
standard product. The cost of the
materials is small in most cases COM
pared with the item of labor in do
ing the work, and a few cents saving
by purchasing an inferior product may
reduce greatly the thoroughness of
the disinfection.
Sanitation is an important principle
In keeping live stock and poultry
healthy, and small quantity of dis
infectant kept on hand will often
prevent serious losses. Prompt dis
infection of barbed wire scratches and
cuts is one instance Of such practical
aid aside from the more extensive use
in the disinfection of buildings and
yards.

Cholera and Limberneck
Cause of Poultry Loss

Cholera and limberneck are two
diseases that attack the poultry fiocks
and cause the loss of number OF
birds each year, says D. 81. Hall, ex-
tension poultry specialist at Clemson
college, who suggests below methods
of treatment for these troubles.
Cholera is one of the worst dis
business. 1t attacks the fowls very
suddenly, and as a rlle poultry
man loses from one-third to one-half
his flock before he can do anything
The best treatment Is to prevent the
spread Of the disease rather than to
treat the sick birds. Spray the house
with 10 per cent solution Of some
disinfectant, and burn or bury all Of
the droppings and dead fowls in deep
holes. Feed wet mash in troughs so
as to prevent spreading through dry
mash hoppers. Keep the water foun-
tains clean and use permanganate t
potash as an antiseptic in the drink
ing water.
Limberneck is a disease resulting
from poisoning of the fowl caused by
feeding on 'decomposed animal flesh.
This disease is characterized by a
paralyzed condition of the body. The
neck becomes timber and the head
cannot be held erect. In treating This
disease give each bird two teaspoon
fuls Of castor oil with few drops of
turpentine, and find the cause of the
disease and remove it. Bury or burn
all dead fowls

MATURING PULLET
BEFORE SHE LAYS

One of the best discussions of q
good method OF finishing pullets comes
from the pen of Mrs. George r. Shoup
of the Western Washington expert
ment station, which is as follows:
To put on body growth, give low
open hopper of cracked yellow corn
or yellow cornmeal. Keep it full all
the time. Feed a full breakfast of
sprouted oats or scratch, using so
much that little grain Is in the litter
at the next feed. At breakfast time
or shorty after give sour milk, or a
substitute, using four to six quarts to
the hundred birds. At IL a. m. again
feed scratch grain and also give fair
sized amount of green feed At p.
m. another feed of grain and at or
p. NJ, last feed of grain and also
eli the green's they can eat. good
growing mash should be before them
in hOppers, giving one-quarter as much
mash as grain by weight. This pro-
gram says: won't you eat a little?"
over and over, and at night you will
have the satisfaction of having these
young ladies going 10 bed with crops
only partly filed. AS long as this is
continued you know these birds are
growing bodies, not combs, and you
may be surprised to find that in four
weeks time these same youngsters will
have gained anywhere from three
fourths to one and one-quarter pounds
each, without having come into lay
ing. When maturity (full body growth)
has been reached, you can put on the
laying program and feel that one more
point in poultry management has been
put under definite control.
A number of such details as this
used by one and neglected by another
makes the difference Of steady, or
spasmodic, egg production during the
following year. In short, it helps to
make one a poultryman who makes
his chickens keep him and not one
who just keeps chickens.

Cattle Outlook
Is Encouraging
Prospects for Scarcity of Fed
Steers and Higher Prices
Anticipated.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Beef cattle are in q stronger position
than year ago and with prospects for
q scarcity Of fed steers this fall, high
er prices are anticipated, according to
the bureau of agricultural economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in it's beef cattle outlook report.
A large supply of corn at reasonable
prices and material reduction in the
supply of hogs are also in prospect
This should result in an active de-
mand for feeder cattle.
Supply Of Cattle.
While there has been some liquida-
ton and consequent reduction In num-
bers Of cattle in some areas, it is not
believed that the total market supply
of grass cattle this fall will be mate
rally less than the number marketed
In 1924. Heavy marketing from i'm
portant Western cattle production re-
gions during the past three years has
been offset somewhat by favorable
weather and feed conditions Calf
crops have been large and losses small.
A short corn crop and high corn
prices brought about in 1924 a mate
rial reduction In the stocker and feed
er movement into the corn belt feed
lots during the past II months. Fin
isherS generally have followed a policy
of marketing fed stock early with the
result that market receipts during the
remainder of the year are expected to
be decidedly less than usual and prices
should continue upward, especially for
the better grades
A relatively small supply of the bet
ter grades. of heavy steers is now COM
Ing to market and they are selling on
a parity with lightweights which COM
manded premium through the latter
half of 1924 and the first part of 1925
AS there Is a limited demand for
heavyweights they are not likely to
command a premium for any great
period OF time
Feeder Cattle Demand.
The July 1 report of the depart
ment forecast an increase in the
corn crop in the Corn Belt states of 35
per cent over last year. The June pig
survey showed that the number of
hogs on farms is the lowest in several
years. If the large corn crop mate
riaiizes there will doubtless be an ac-
tive demand for feeder cattle to fill the
gap. Higher prices for fed steers will
also tend to stimulate demand for
feeder cattle as well as for low-grade
cattle for slaughter.
No material change in the domestic
demand for beef is expected during the
remainder of the year, but the smaller
supply of hogs as compared with the
past year should be sustaining factor
for beef. The European demand for
meats increased during the past year,
but so far as beef is concerned most
OF the European trade Is supplied from
Argentina, and 1t seems likely that this
will continue. AS long as European
markets absorb the Argentine surplus
1t is unlikely that there will be any
considerable movement of beef from
that country to the United States.

Five Excellent Reasons
for Standard Bred Hens

Here are five reasons for keeping
standardized poultry:
More uniform in size, type and color.
More attractive in appearance and ap-
peals more strongly to purchasers of
stock and eggs.
Offer a greater combination of prac-
tical and useful qualities suitable to
the needs of the farmer and poultry
keeper.
The products Of standardized fowls
are more uniform in quality, are in
greater demand, and bring better
prices.
Standardized poultry means great
er success and better profits.

Have More Sources of Income.
Farms having several sources Of in
,ome are uniformly more profitable

Carefully Store Apples
for Use During Winter

Care should be taken when storing
winter apples to do this job "just
right" Apples Keep to the best adj
vantage where each apple is wrapped
separately in paper. If the apples
are not already wrapped the wise
householder wraps each one himself
but where this seems to be too much
like work, at least be careful to put
them In paper-lined barrels or boxes
and then Ego over" them frequently
during the, winter to pick out any
that may shown signs of decay, for

Care should also be taken not 70
store the apples too near strong vege-
tables, such as turnips, onions, or
even potatoes. For apples, like but
ter, are apt to take on" the odors of
other food that happens to be near
them. Everyone knows that apples
should be stored In good dry cellar
and in cellar that will keep them
cold but where they will not be
frozen.
The tart varieties of apples are the
best for canning purposes. All bruised
spots, Of course, should be carefully
cut away from the fruit before cook
ing it. The most completely salts
factory method of preserving the
apple is to make 1t into apple sauce
and then place 1t in well-sterilized
glass jars while it Is het. OF course,
some may prefer to can the apples
whole, so that they can be used more
advantageously for apple dumplings.

DIVERSITY INCOME
TO LOWER THE RISK

Wisconsin farmers cannot afford to
carry all their eggs in one basket.
Farming, because of the very nature
of the work, is more or less hazardous
in so far as income is concerned. The
profits cannot be estimated as in fac
tory operations for the weather fac
tors cannot be controlled. For this
reason the farmer must safeguard him
self against bad years by having more
than one source of income.
Although Wisconsin is quite largely
a dairy state with a stable income,
there are, nevertheless, production
risks to be considered in dairying. Pro-
duction hazards can be safeguarded
against by so diversifying the farm
business that all feeds and farm by

Treatment Required for
Blackcap Raspberries

Practically the only different treat
ment required for the blackcap rasp-
berries is in the pruning. The black
cap varieties form new plants where
the tips Of the canes touch the ground.
These canes have to be cut back SO
they may be supported on wires or
tied to stakes. The canes should be
cut back to about 30 inches or so in
the spring.
After the fruit is gathered, all fruit
ing canes should be cut out close to
the ground and burned This Is to get
rid of diseases or insects that may be
on them. 1t is always better to cult
vate a raspberry patch, but mulch
assists in keeping the fruit clean.
Three to six canes are sufficient for a.
hill. Too many raspberry patches are
ruined by allowing them to produce too
many canes and plants.
