Cultivation of Orchard
to Secure Better Fruit

early cultivation counts big in fruit
growing" says Prof. Joseph Oskamp
of the New York College of Agricul-
ture at Ithaca. "Fruit spur vitality
Is big factor in determining bud for
nation for the next year, and this vi
tality is given largely by careful work
ing during early spring. That is, the
length of growth and number of leaves
that the spur makes early in the sea-
son, during and after the blooming pc
riOd, contribute much to next years
fruit spurs.
''The trees that get the most benefit
from cultivation are the ones worked
early in the spring, that is, by the
time the trees come into bloom. This
early preparation warns the SOIL helps
nitrate formation, and makes growth
surer and earlier.
"Other farm work often interferes
with what the good fruit grower
knows to be right, and many men do
not get into their orchards before
June. At that time, however, they
are not getting the full advantage
from their work, and earlier cultiva-
tion gives more for the time and en-
ergy expended. If the cultivation is
early enough, it may be stopped about
the first of July, and this let's the trees
harden their wood before blight be-
comes serious. This early work also
helps give the fruit better color"

of Minerals in Ration

Although most of the minerals need
ed by farm animals are supplied by
the ration, there are few which fire.
Quently need to be added, states W.
C. Skelley, assistant professor Of an
final husbandry at the New Jersey
State College of Agriculture.
The minerals in which farm rations
are most likely to be deficient are
calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chic
rine, and iodine. These, says Profes-
sor Skelley, may be supplied from the
following sources:
Calcium-from high-grade limestone,
steamed bone meal, wood ashes, or
slaked lime.
Phosphorus-frOm steamed bone
meal, or rock phosphate, the former
preferred.
Sodium and chlorine-readily and
cheaply supplied in common salt.
Iodine-from potassium or sodium
iodide. AS a general rule, however.
this need not be supplied in this sec
ton of the country, because our soil
and water contain sufficient, but in
cases where goiter or hairlessness Oc-
cur in the young, about one-half of /
per cent should be added to a min
eral mixture.
Swine fed almost entirely on con-
centrated grain feeds will not get
enough minerals unless they are sup
piled with a supplemental mineral
mixture.
A good but simple mixture for swine
is 40 pounds of steamed bone meal, 40
pounds of ground limestone or slaked
lime and 20 pounds of salt. This
should be thoroughly mixed and a
small portion kept before the animals
at all times.

Much Harm Done
to Winter Wheat
Losses Nearly as Heavy as
Caused by All Other
Diseases.

(Prepared by the United States Departments
of Agriculture)
Winter injury to wheat causes near
ly as heavy losses to that crop as do
all wheat diseases combined, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The acreage Of winter wheat
annually abandoned, largely because
of winter-killing, averaged 90 per cent
during the 23-year period from 1901
to 1922, inclusive, according to De-
partment Circular No. 378 Compare
tive Hardness of Winter-Wheat Vari-
eties," just issued by the department.
During the 14-year period from 1909
TO 1922, inclusive, frosts or freezing
caused an average loss Of 35 per
cent of the wheat crop and plant dis
eases 3.9 per cent, according to crop
correspondents of the department.
With view to developing winter
wheat varieties of greater hardness,
Investigations were conducted at 26
experiment stations in the United
States and Canada during one or more
of the six years from 1920 to 1925, in
N1OoAFC. LII Lie CApCIluOuLS I'D Will
ter-wheat varieties and strains were
grown in uniform nurseries.
Data as to comparative hardness
show that the varieties Minhardi, Buff
fun No. IL, Minturki and Odessa are
considerably more cold resistant than
the standard Kharkof used as a check
Padui, Turkey (Minn. No. 1889, and
Beloglina are somewhat more hardy
than Kharkof. Kanred and Nebraska,
No. 60 are probably slightly hard
ier than Kharkoff Nebraska No.
% and Blackhull are much less
winter hardy than Kharkof The
results obtained in these expert
ments are being used as a basis for
breeding wheats to combine winter
hardness with other good qualities.

Chicks Offer Splendid
Market. for Extra Milk

Baby chicks offer a splendid market
for milk. They make a more steady
growth and keep in better condition
on milk than on any other drink. 1t is
better to give the milk sour The lac
tic acid of the milk is foe to white
diarrhea; it is tonic in it's effects.
Also, the chicks like it better than the
sweet, separated milk. The sweet
milk has the disadvantage also of glu-
ing the eyes shut If the chicks dip
IN too deep.
The breeders who dip each tiny
beak in sour milk as they take the
chicks from the incubator are not of
fering feed so much as introducing
Tactic acid, and sweet milk doesn't an
swer tPiS purpose.

One Work Horse Needed
to Care for 35 Acres

How many acres will one horse
are needed ston 320-acre farm?
Those are questions which are now
being studied by economists at the
Kansas State Agricultural college, re-
ports I. N. Chapman
eve have generally believed Chap
man says, that one work horse is re-
quired for each 25 to 35 crop acres
where no tractor is used, but that
on farms having a tractor one work
horse is needed for 45 to 55 crop
acres.
Farmer co-operators working in con-
junction with the department of eco
nomics at the college have reported
from various counties the number of
horses used per farm and the number
of crop acres per work horse.
In Lincoln county IA farmer CO.
operators reported one work horse to
"a crop acres. Six of the farmers
own tractors.
In Dickinson county eight co-opera-
tors report one work horse for every
33 acres and five of the farmers own
tractors.
Washington county With 80 farm
ers reported showing an average of 26
crop acres per work horse and only
four tractors.

porting shows an average of "A crop

have a trained nurse and the mother
in the home should have the knowl-

The tray should be so attractively
arranged that it will first appeal to
the eye, then to the taste. A rose or
small flower in a tiny case or placed
beside the plate will make eating
pleasure, what would otherwise be re-
fused or eaten under protest.

WOMEN WILL

MEN WISH
Just Let Enough of Male Sex
Leave Miss Bold
Alone.
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson.

A man in San Francisco says that
when women cut off their hair and
wear frocks, they are travelling IN
der the banner of that most ancient
of the professions of women. A
moral woman, says he, might do
these things and still remain moral,
but she has put on the uniform and
insofar is lending her aid to that i'm
morality.
This sort of stuff sounds impress
sive. To hear some OF these men
hold forth you would imagine that
they are vastly concerned about
morals and indeed they are-the
morals of women. They forget that
If reforms are in order a mighty
good place for them to start is
among themselves.
It would be the e. Jiest thing in
the world to get the, women back to
their old-time modesty again II the
men really wanted to try it. Just
let enough of their sex leave Miss
Bold alone and she would speedily
emulate all the virtues of the mod
est maiden. Men, however-and the
moderns are lot like those gentle
men Of old, SO far as this points is

woman, blessed with all the feminine
virtues, but that die not deter An.
tony from leaving her for Cleopatra,
whose record was not so good at the
time.
I wonder how far a young girl
would get these days If she put on
ankle-length skirts and left off the
rouge and lip-stick? She would
probably end up as somebody's
hired girl. Certainly she would
stand no more chance Of getting
beau than a marble statue. She
could practice modesty until the
heavens FELL and she would prob
ably practice 1t without having a
man sue for her heart and hand.
If the modern man honored
modesty with his heart as much as
he does with his lips. this would be
our chief virtue! FOR after all is
said and done, men are our
superiors in power/and aggressive
ness, and the women of any nation
are always as the men of that ma
ton would have them be.

skirt was exaggerately bouffant with
concealed hoops, making her waist
look even more slender than 1t was.
The taffeta skirt was cut short half
way between knee and ankle, a wide
band of the silver lace finishing 1t off,
and bringing it's length almost to the
tips Of her brocaded gold slippers.
Through the meshes of the silver
lace came the simmer of gold silk

Over the warm ivory Of her face

over the, ears and looped in a rich,
dark coil on the nape Of her neck,
she fitted the large-brimmed, droop-
ing hat Of silver lace, its crown en-
circled with large, golden California
peoples.
ISelf-consciously, because she had
never, in all her life as a household
drudge, expected to wear such mag

They are fellows l wouldn't be seen in

Your lot is surely cast among
stones and thorns. I fear this girl
of whom you think so much and
whom you are willing to make your
wife, does not possess the sterling
qualities you think she has and I
much doubt that she cares for you.
1t is quite unlikely that she would
let this girl friend separate you and
make dates for her. Looks like she
is just making the girl an excuse to
protect herself from your attentions.
To satisfy yourself, however. see her
once more, insist that she be honest
with you and explain her real atti-
tude. If she hedges 1t will show
she's not sold" on you and you'd
best set about her to forget her.

don't like the idea. Do you think bobbed
hair will ever go out OF style? Does 1T
hurt the hair to have 1t shtngled?
I believe that bobbing your hair
would be good for it. Shingling i'm
proves, rather than harms hair. Yes,
bobbed hair will go out of style in
time, I believe. because we have
record of no style of clothes or hair

will be in a very long time and you
will have opportunity to shingle and
grow back your hair many times, be-
fore bobbed hair is passed.
