Seed Grain Planted in
1926 Needs Treatment

Every farmer should treat his seed
grain in 1925 In order to prevent
smut, says DR.. E. c. Stakman, a plant
disease authority of the University of
Minnesota. Besides smut in oats, og
which there is always a great deal,
Doctor Stakman finds there was an un-
usually large amount of stinking smut
of wheat in 1925. In one country ele.
vator rs per cent of the wheat which
was brought in was badly smutted.
Methods of treating seed wheat diff
fer from those of treating oats and
barley. Folder No. Is, entitled Treat
ments for Seed GRAIN" explains the
use of copper carbonate dust and
formaldehyde and can be obtained
without cost on application to the ag-
ricultural extension service, University
farm, st. Paul. Information as to the
spraying plan for treating oats ana
barley can be obtained by writing the
plant disease department, University
farm, st. Paul.

Cover Crops Lower
Temperature Some
Tests Show Frost Hazard Ig
Increased Slightly.

Prepared by the United States Department.
of Agriculture.)
The weather bureau of the UnlteG
States Department of Agriculture has
conducted several experiments in cit
rus growing sections of California to-
determine what influence a cover crop
has on the temperature of the ORCHARD
atmosphere on a frosty night Purple
vetch, heavy volunteer crop Of Broad
Windsor horse beans, and many high
weeds were included in the cover crop
In these experiments.
The conclusions reached were that
while the cover crop increased the
frost hazard very slightly, the differ
ence made in the temperature was not
such as to damage the fruit seriously.
At a height of five feet above the
ground, the air temperature was de-
pressed by the presence Of the cover
crop only OIL degree Fahrenheit, and
l degree Fahrenheit at height OF
10 inches. Since there is usually but
little fruit near the ground these slight
differences should have little effect on
the damage to fruit.
In many cases increased damage IS
probably due to the fact that the grove
is on lower ground, where the temper
ature is naturally lower. Differences
in the amount of damage between
clean cultivated groves and those ir
cover crops may also be attributed to-
some other influence than tempera-
ture such as decreased vigOr of the
tree, due to competition from the cover
crop, less dormant condition of the
trees caused by more frequent irriga-
tions, or increased deposit of moisture
on the fruit or foliage from dew or
frost. The cover crop also acts as n
windbreak, allowing the cold air to
accumulate near the ground, and pre-
venting it from mixing with the warTnRs
air above.

POULTRY
FAGI1S
LIGHT AND FRESH
AIR FOR POULTRY

Hens are on strike. Colds, roup
bin robbers and profit side-trackers
of the poultrymen are chiefly re-
SpOnSible, say Kansas State Agricul-
tural college poultrymen. Comfort
for the flock means dryness more
than it means warmth. The hen is a
high speed motor and in breathing
throws off a vast amount of moisture.
The solution is to leave at least one
third of the south side open, with no
glass or glass substitute present to
interfere with the free passage of
fresh air or the direct sun rays, the
college poultrymen advise.
Poultry must have an abundance
of fresh air and light. One of the
simplest and least expensive methods
of securing it is by means Of the
open-front principle says w. G.
Ward, the college extension archi-
tect.
"Openings should be provided in the
upper part of the south wall, with an
area equal to one-tenth of the floor
space If the house is reasonably deep
no glass will be needed in these open
ings but muslin frames should be
provided to protect the flock from
draft during severe storms. In houses
already built with many windows
the upper sash should be replaced
with muslin frames which should re-
main open most of the time.
I'm buildings inadequately lighted,
the present small windows may be
removed and the openings enlarged.
Poultry will thrive in relatively low
temperatures providing they are dry
and free from drafts"
The poultry house also must have
ample space to give best results,
Ward says. From three to four square
feet of floor area and from seven to
ten inches of roosts should be pro-
vided for each hen, the larger figures
applying to the heavier breeds. Too
many poultry houses are overcrowded,
and in many cases it will be found
profitable to decrease the flock size If
1t is not possible to increase housing
facilities.

Good Stock Kept Warm
Essential in BrOOdinp

Chicks from stock of good quality,
and warm hover are two essentials
of successful brOoding, in the opinion
college poultry department. High
feed prices, they contend, can be off
set only by heavy layers, and such
birds can be produced only from Wig
orous chicks. Experienced poultry
men maintain hover temperature of
95 to 100 degrees. At this tempera-
ture the chicks will arrange them
selves around the edge of the hover,
perhaps not evenly, but at least in
few groups, and when SO located one
can feel reasonably sure that his flock
is being properly heated.
AS the birds become older they can
move away from the heat if they so
desire. If the heat is removed from
them, however, they will crowd in close
to the stove or in the corner in an eff
fort to get warm.
In addition to plenty of heat have
a temporary wire fence, of three
fourths-inch mesh and eighteen inches
high, stretched around the chicks for
the first few days. After the third
day, gradually open out this fence
until the chicks have the run of the
house. When entirely opened, how
ever, the fence should still be rounded
at the corners and should be three or
four inches from the sides of the house
In case the chicks have tendency to
crowd to one side they will not be
crowding against solid partition
flock, SO that no serious results should
follow.

Time to Wean Colts

Colts should usually be weaned by
the time they are six months old at
latest A severe setback at this time
often occurs and is hard to overcome
If the colt has been taught to eat
grain and has been accustomed to be-
ing kept away from the mare while
she has been at work, there will usual
ly be little difficulty. Colts that have
been eating grain for two or three
months will soon learn to get along
without the mothers milk.

Make Plans for Gardens
Before Planting Timl

"Plan the farm garden before plant
ing" advises J. G. Moore, Of the Una-
versity of Wisconsin horticulture de-
partment.
"Just as the carpenter cannot buil0
a satisfactory house without plan
prepared in advance, so should a far
mer not attempt to plant the garden
bed before planning for it," declares
this authority. '"That the garden is to
lecting to make plan, it being all the
more important to secure maximunD
returns in such cases. Therefore"
Moore points out, "the wise gardener
will plan his garden on paper well iD
advance of planting time"
According to Moore, the plan shonl0
show the location of each row, an5
the crop to be planted-the distance
of each row from one end Of the
garden-and the sequence for the diff
ferent paintings, when more than one
planting Is to be made
1.-THE soil is a prime factor in sue
cessful garden" he says. Zone OF the
first essentials is that the garden plos
have good drainage, for vegetables
cannot thrive in water-logged soil" IL
the land is low and marshy, he adj
vises gardening on raised beds.
Texture of the soil is also very i'm
portant, Moore believes He defines
the ideal garden soil texture as fine
and loose,' and to attain these quail
ties in soils of the lumpy, heavy type,
he recommends adding organic mate
rial, or lime, and in some cases, apply
ing sand or using coal ashes, where
the soil is extremely heavy.

Clean Cultivation in a
Young Orchard Not Good

It is not a good thing to practice
continued clean cultivation in an or
chard Young orchards need more
cultivation than old orchards, but
even young orchards are damaged by
excessive cultivation
1t is all right to practice clean cul-
tivation during the growing season,
but plant a cover crop of cowpeas,
soy beans, vetch, rye or oats about
midsummer This will check the
growth and compete with the trees for
moisture and fertility, thus promoting
proper maturity of the wood.
If the ground is not subject to
washing it would be we'll to plant
cultivated crops, such as vegetables,
between the trees, or to practice
clean cultivation early in the season.
If clean cultivation is practiced, plant
a cover crop about the middle of July.
This method will give the trees the
proper care during the growing sea-
son as we'll as keep your ground rich
In organic matter.

Preserve HighWay Beauty

Action to preserve the beauty of the
highways in San Luis Obispo county,
California, has been taken by the
board of county supervisors in the
passage of an ordinance prohibiting
the erection of signs and billboards
along the county highways. Exception
is made for legal notices and recog-
nized direction signs for tourists,
while signs will not be permitted on
fences, trees, or on buildings belong
ing to the county. Fines provided
range from $25 to 5000 or imprison-
ment for not more than so days, or
both, for violations.

First Sheep in America

Sheep were introduced from Mexico
into the portion of the country now
known as Texas at a very early date.
In 1872 Mexican sheep were brought
in numbers into the state, but at this
time the industry was not prosperous
In a report of the Department of Ag-
riculture for 1892 it was stated that
In a short period of "A years the in
dustry had developed to great extent
had increased from 2.68 pounds to 6.S
pounds. This indicated that the In
dustry was established before 1872.

Choose Best Time to
Make Home Alterations

Repair work and new construction
number of reasons. Repair work of
minor character is usually paid for on
a time basis that is, the owner pays
a fixed rate per hour for the services
of the men engaged. When this is
done during a period of inactivity in
a given trade the most efficient work
ers are ordinarily available, and they
are able to do a better Job in less
time than less skilled men who might
perform the work during an active
period.
Home owners from time to time en-
ploy building trades workers to do
outside and interior painting, to put
on new roofs, to make alterations and
additions to plumbing systems to
overhaul and repair the heating ap-
paratus and to do interior remodeling,
such as changing partitions and lay
ing tile floors in bathrooms. They also
require grading of grounds, the con-
struction of driveways and erection
or enlargement of garages and other
outbuildings. Then there are side
walk repairs, laying of concrete or
masonry floors in the cellars, water
proofing, replacing awnings and
screens and repairs to exterior wood
work. The time chosen by the owner
for such work is of Importance to
himself and to the community and
bears a close relation to the general
cost of living.

Raising of Baby Beeves
Is Usually Profitable

In feeding baby beeves, it is not
necessary to have expensive equip
ment. A cattle shed, preferably a
frame she'd enclosed on three sides
and partly enclosed on the south side,
is very satisfactory as a shelter. A
supply of good water is essential.
The raising of baby beeves is usual
ly profitable business for the farm
er who is in position to handle it
right. Usually, in the Northwest, it
is necessary for the farmer to raise
his own calves for baby beeves, as
there are very few calves of the quail
ity that will feed out we'll and mature
early enough for baby beeves to be
found on the live stock markets. This
means that he, must have either a
grade or pure-bred herd of distinct
beef breeding so that he can raise
calves of the easy fleshing, early ma
turing kind. He should be an expe-
rienced feeder and have farm where
he can raise plenty of grain, good hay
and pasture. 1t seems advisable to
fatten the calves we'll before market
ing them, as the well-fnished kind
bring considerably more than those
which are only partly finished.
Baby beeves make more rapid and
cheaper gains than older cattle. Since
they are marketed at an earlier age,
there Is less death risk and a quicker
turnover of the investment. These
advantages, linked with the favorable
market which usually prevails for
the well-finished yearling, make baby
beef feeding a profitable business.

Creatures of Habit

Cows, like the rest Of us, are crea-
lures of habit; when you get them in
the habit of getting their grain or hay
at particular time, they miss it If
they do not get it. Feed your different
feeds in rotation, the same every day
and at the same time of day. That Is
all there is to that The same with
giving them water. Don't water one
day in the morning, and the next day
vt night.
