Sudan Grass Is Useful
as Good Emergency Crop

Since udan grass is not sOwn I'M
til after complaining time, 1t will
not take the same place in any graz
ing system as rye pasture, which
furnishes good pasture in the early
spring Sudan grass is good pasture
grass, and it is used principally as an
emergency crop, much as is millet in
the corn belt. Care must be used in
pasturing the crop after frosts in the
fall. After the frosts, prussic acid
develops in the plant, which may
prove poisonous TO stock. 1t is also
reported that In very dry seasons the
acid develops in the plant, but the
danger from this source. is remote
in the corn belt. 1t should be seeded
at the rate of about 20 pounds to the
acre. 1t may be either broadcast or
drilled.

Difference in Yield of
Red Clover and Alfalfa

Under some soil conditions there is
not much difference in yield Of red
clover and alfalfa. If the surface and
subsoil are both sour, and the dark
colored soil is not very deep where
the clovers must get their food from
the decompOsing humus, the red clover
may make as much or more growth
than alfalfa, because the root system
of red clover is little better adapted
to getting food from decaying humus
than is alfalfa But when the sub
soil contains the proper mineral food
supply or when it has been applied to
the soil,i the alfalfa will make much
more growth under comparable con-
ditions than red clover. When soil
condition are favorable for it's
growth the alfalfa makes two or three
times as much yield of hay as red
clover.
Alfalfa is the better feed. / 1t usual
ly contains more mineral food ele-
ments and is richer in protein and
vitamines than red clover, and hence
will enable COW to produce more
milk as well as making more bone and
tissues on growing animals. After
one gets taste Of growing and feed
ing alfalfa he is not satisfied to go
back to red or any other clover va
riety.

How about investing in a fertility

plant food from the subsoil and down

Some Excellent Rations
for Idle Farm Animals

st is a mistake to feed horses that
are idle or doing only light work a
ration that contains too much heavy,
concentrated feed" says w. G. Skel-
ley, assistant animal husbandman of
the New Jersey agricultural expert
ment station. "The concentrates are
rich in protein, very little of which
is needed when the horse is i6,e. Feed
ing it in excess just adds to the cost
of the horses keep, as protein is the
most expensive nutrient in our feed
ing StuffS.'
This is the time to feed some of the
waste products of the farm such as
oat straw and corn slower, the latter
preferably shredded to reduce the
wastage, advises Professor Shelley.
These should be supplemented with a
certain amount of proten-bearing
feeds, such as legume hay, linseed oil
meal and wheat bran.
Two good daily rations for idle
horses. per 1000 pounds of live weight,
would be: Corn slower 8 pounds, and
clover or alfalfa hay s pounds; or else
oat straw 6 pounds clover or alfalfa
hay 10 pounds. and corn pound. BY
feeding these cheap roughages with
small amount of protein feeds the
horses can be easily maintained at
minimum expense.
When the horses go into the hard
work of the spring they will not be
able to use as much roughage as when
they are idle because they have not
the time needed to thoroughly chew
and digest it. For this reason the
roughage should be reduced and the
grain concentrates Increased as soon
as they begin to work. This should be
done gradually so as not to cause
collie or other digestive troubles.

Best Soy Bean Variety
for Production of SeeC'

Fifteen years of experimental work
at the Iowa station show manchu to be
the best variety for seed production
while picking has given the best re-
suits for silage and hay purposes.
The best yields of both seed and hay
have been secured with drilled seed
ings. The best rate for drilling was
two bushels per acre. This allows for
a thorough narrowing and still leaves
enough plants for high yield. Plant,
ing from early May until June /
gave equally good results.
Control of weeds was found to be
the most important point in success
full culture. 1t is suggested that soy
bean ground be plowed before the
corn ground and then narrowed fire.
quently to kin as many weeds as pos
sible. After the crop Is up, harrow
first when the beans are one and
one-half inches high, again when they
are three inches high and the last
time when they are six inches high.

Spring Flowing Is
Need of Emergency
Soil Should Be Fairly Firm
for Best Results.

Fall blowing is best for the crop,
but emergency crops often call for
spring blowing. The soil should be
fairly firm for best results. 1t is i'm
portant that the seed be put in as
early in the spring as it is possible to
work the land. The peas especially
do best in cold weather and will make
the best growth and the best quality
of hay when early sown.
In these days of the disk and shoe
drill the seed should be sown two to
three inches deep after the soil has
been mellowed by thorough disking.
The peas could well go deeper but the
oats do best when sown not more than
an inch and half to two inches in
depth. And since both are usually
seeded with the same implement, peas
can go at the shallower depths One
to one and one-half bushels of peas
should be sown with bushel and
half of oats per acre.
After sowing the oats and peas no
attention need be given the crop until
ready to cut for hay. This will be in
ten or twelve weeks after sowing. The
crop should be cut when the oats are
in the, milk and the peas just begin
ming to form in the pods. Owing to
the green, succulent nature of the
crops, difficulty is sometimes expert
enced in curing the crop on low, heavy
land when large growth has been
made. In bright sunny weather the
difficulty is less than when rains are
frequent. The hay Is coarse and
fluffy and does not shed rain well.
If wet a few times 1t loses color and
palatability. If left in the cocks any
length of time after becoming wet it
may mold badly.

New Variety Of
Dasheen Is Out
Sacramento of Greater Uni
formity in Size and Shape
Than Trinidad.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.) .
A new variety Of dasheen, the
Sacramento, which has been under OBJ
Bervation and test by the United
States Department of Agriculture for
several years and was distributed two
years ago, is being marketed this sea-
son for the first time. The greater
uniformity of the tubers in size and
shape not only makes the Sacramento
easier to prepare for market, but gives
1t higher value than the Trinidad
variety now generally grown.
Third Starchy Vegetable.
The development of the dasheen in
dustry has given the people of the
United States third distinctly
starchy vegetable that is home grown,
the potato and the sweet potato being
the only vegetables of that nature
heretofore commonly grown in this
country. Dasheens have been grown by
a gradually increasing number of peo-
pie in the southern states since 1913.
1t was introduced from Porto Rico
few years earlier for cultivation there,
primarily TO supplement the small
supply of me-grown potatoes. 1t is
believed to have been brought from
China to the western hemisphere, per-
haps two or three centuries ago, and
has been cultivated under various
names in many of the islands of the
West Indies.
Industry Established.
With continued improvement In
cultural methods and the development
Of newer and better varieties under
the, direction of the department, the
industry has become established Con-
tinuous effort by growers and others
in the South to make the excellence
of this fall-maturing vegetable known
to winter tourists and care in market
Ing only the best dasheens are cal
culated to bring about largely in
creased demand.

Mango Mites Controlled
by Liberal Use of Oil

Occasionally bunch of unthrifty,
scrubby-looking pigs are seen. Usu-
ally the pigs are NANCY, due to small
insects which burrow into the skin
along the hair. An irritation arises
which causes the pig to rub great
deal.
Liberal use of crude oil or crank
case oil over the hogs will get rid of
this pest and also lice. In bad cases
repeat two or three times and clean
up the sleeping quarters and oil SO
that any mango mites in the dirt may
be killed. Coal tar disinfectants are
not usually effective in controlling this
parasite.

Add Weight to Steers

Beef steers sired by good pure-bred
bulls will often weigh 200 pounds more
per head as two-year-olds than steers
from the same cows sired by scrubs.
And they bring better price because
they dress out more of the expensive
cuts. In one comparison the pure
bred offspring brought profit of $6.51
each against loss of 40 cents a head
from the scrubs.

During the evening, while the hos
tess was preparing the meal, the
woman by means of signs and I'M
intelligible English made Mrs. Long
understand that there was little
Christmas festivity in the mining
town.
'"This woman has shown me cour-
tesy and kindness; here is an op-
pOrtunity TO prove some Christmas
courage and character" Mrs. Long
whispered TO her husband as plans
began percolating through her mind.
Soon the children were helping dec

with Mr., ,saRd Mrs. Schlaska, Mr.. and
Mrs. Long started out. Every house
with boys and dssgirls, aged or sick
ones, was visited. The tree was
placed, on a fable or chair, candles
lighted for q moment while some
goodies were distributed.
After a Visit to each place, the
family was invited to accompany
this Christmas cheer company while
carols were sung outside and inside
until EVERYONE was so happy that
some shouted While others cried for
JOY. One dear woman after listen
ing to. the story of the significance
OF the Yuletide season which some
had made Mr.. Long understand they
wished TO learn, drying her eyes on
the corner of faded apron, called
Mrs. Long an ''h-angel." The glad
notes Of the Christmas caroling
soon reached the farther ends of
Loneridge, whose inhabitants joined
in a community Christmas as they
made their way TO the large engine
house where the tree was placed In
