Fall or Spring Flowing
for Improved Corn Crop

Whether fall or spring blowing IS
better for corn depends on soil condl-
tons TO large extent. Soils that are
heavy and approximating the gumbo
types are better plowed in the fall so
the elements will act on them In the
winter. On the other hand soils which
have but little humus in them and
which run together badly before
spring will do better when plowed in
the spring. One purpose Of plowing
is to aerate the soil so as to let air
in to hasten the decomposition Of hu-
mus for the liberation of plant food.
but when this aeratlon is given too
far ahead Of growing crop the area
ton may lose its action before the
crops begin to grow.
There are not many soils Of this
type, however, so as a rule it Is better
to pillow In the fall when the soil con-
talns a fair amount Of humus or when
it is dark in color; or when a good
amount OF fresh organic matter. such
as clover or manure, is to be plowed
under. The action Of the organic mat
ter or humus is to keep the soil from
running together. Fall blowing also
serves to spread large part Of heavy
work over a longer period Of the year
instead of having so much just at
planting time

Egg Producing Pullets
Need Good Protein Feed

For egg production pullets should
have access to protein feed. The best
method Of supplying the protein feed
is by feeding dry mash from a self
feeder.
The following dry mash is recon-
mended for your attention;
One part by weight Of wheat bran,
One part by weight Of middllngs.
One part by weight Of ground corn
or corn meal
One part by weight Of heavy oats.
One part by weight Of meat scrap.
Another dry mash used with success
is:
Equal parts of ground wheat, oats.
corn and meat scrap. The amount Of
meat scrap used can be somewhat re-
duced If milk is fed A good scratch
feed Of homegrown feeds and as good
as can be had is:
Five parts wheat. three parts corn.
and two part oats.

American Turkhen Found
to Be Extremely Hardy

Have you ever heard Of the turkhen7
1t Is not new bird but 1t is new to
America. 1t has been bred for cen
turtles In Russia, where it was the IA
vored and protected bird of the royal
family. Three Of these birds were
brought to California by George p.
Schaefer, proprietor of Halo Sacre-
do" breeding farm, Menlo Park, Cal.
Mr.. Schaefer crossed these birds with
Rhode Island Reds. the resultant is
sue being the mueh-talked-of fowl, the
American turkhen. The economical
value of the fowl is said to be very
considerable, it being the producer of
high average of large white eggs.
while its abundant flesh is juicy and
white. The breed is extremely hardy
and the chicks mature quickly. The
writer has personal knowledge Of a so
per cent hatch Of eggs shipped from
California. The chicks were hardy
and strong and easily raised. the NOR
tality being far below that Of ordinary
chicks. At present the supply is lin
lied, but for the future this may be-
come a widely-raised breed.-Seed

Fertilizer Experiments
Conducted in Wisconsin

Some very interesting data are to
be found in research bulletin No. e.,
Fertilizer Experiments, issued by
the agricultural experiment station,
Madison, Wis. For example. II was
found that much greater results are to
be obtained when the commercial fer
tilizer is applied one-half inch above
the planted corn. Fertilizer mixed
with the seed often retards or ellml-
mates termination. For this reason
many users of commercial fertilizer
have been disappointed in the results
secured. They got the fertilizer too
close to the seed.
Oats, as rule, do not need applI-
cations Of commercial fertilizer. Some
fields were benefited. though not
many.
In the case of a peat soil. 300
pounds per acre OF 0-10-10 fertilizer
applied in the row Increased the yield
of cabbage more than when 1900
pounds was applied broadcast APP
plicatlon in the row thus seems to be
more economical than broadcast APP
plication for cabbage.
Application Of fertilizer below or
to the side of the potato seed usually
results in a much better stand and
yield than application with or direct
ly above the seed.
Potato sprouts are very tender and
are easily injured If they come in
contact with high concentrations Of
fertilizers as occurs with applications
directly above the seed.

Sweet Tooth Costs
Nation Much Money

The sugar bill Of the American peo-
pie is more than S2OOO,OOO a day, ac-
cording to a report compiled by Facts
About Sugar, trade journal Of the
sugar industry. This figure is based
on the present low price at which
sugnr is selling. During most Of the
time, In recent years. the cost Of sat
isfying the national sweet tooth has
been higher than this. While the Unit.
ed States, including territories Of Ha.
wall, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
ranks third among the nations Of the
world in the extent of Its sugar pro
duction, the quantity Of sugar supplied
by home industry satisfies only about
half the country's requirements and
nearly s1.O0O,O00 a day is expended
for foreign-grown sugar. As most Of
the imported sugar comes from Cuba,
the bulk of this sum goes to that coun.

It is important that she be well housed
during cold weather See that your
cows do not stand out in an open lot
with no shelter or protection from the

ter months. Cows cannot produce the
most milk from the feed given them
if they have to use It to keep them
selves warm. Cow feed is a high

Dairy Cows Need Plenty
of Water During Winter

Lots of farmers who milk a few
rows during the winter months, have
the idea that because the water is
,old. 1t cuts down on the milk flow.
This is hardly the correct way of put
ting 1t, for you will find that the real
reason dairy cows don't give full milk
production when given ice water, is
because they don't drink enough of it.
Professor Weaver of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station has found that 1t
.akes about four pounds Of water for
every pound Of milk COW gives, no
natter what temperature the water IS
When the water is so cold that the
rows drink less, they give less milk.
Try heating the water for them, and
zee IL It doesn't make a difference.
