Several Advantages in
Fall Freshening of Cow

There are several advantages In
having the cows freshen In the fall
provided there is a sufficient supply of
labor available during the winter
months. Cows freshening in the fall
may be fed so that they will produce
good flow Of milk during the winter
months. During the latter part of this
period the flow tends to decrease, but
it will be increased with the stimulus
Of spring pasture. The period Of
smallest flow will be during the latter
part Of the summer, when conditions
are not favorable for high milk pro-
duction and labor can be used to ad-
vantage in other farm work. This
tends to equalize labor to a greater
extent than when the majority of the
cows freshen in the spring.
Calves born in the fall make good
growth during the winter and are
able to make some use of the pasture
in the spring. Calves born in the
spring are not sufficiently mature to
make much use Of pasture even In the
latter part Of the same season, on ac-
count Of the annoyance Of heat and
flies.

Price Of Land Should
Govern Cost of Home

Many home builders at the outset
Of construction work after the pur-
chase Of a lot for the new home are
confronted with a serious problem, ac-
cording to leaders in the building
world.
The question so often asked Is,
what value house should 1 build?"
In answer to that question experts
will say that the safe rule Is that the
cost Of the building should approx
mately equal five times the value Of
the land on which the house or build
ing Is constructed.
While there are exceptions to this
proportion, it forms medium line Of
departure, applying most closely to
business property whether the build
ing is q cheap $1,000 one-story brick
or a $3,OOO,000 skyscraper OH u higher
priced location.
ON q street whose traffic conditions
allow the prediction that the territory
will grow there are still other excep-
lions. Here the price of the building
may be increased In larger ratio, but
the element OF time must be con-
sidered.

Sulphur-Lime as Summer
Fungicide for Peaches

The New Jersey Agricultural exper-
iment station Is still recommending
dry-mix sulphur-lime as summer
fungicide for peaches for the control
Of scab and brown rot. Four pounds
Of high calcium lime should be added
to every so gallons of $3.50 dry-mix
used in combination with lead arsenate
In order to avoid arsenical injury.
Growers making their own dry-mix
should use eight pounds of lime with
every eight pounds of sulphur when
preparing mixtures to be used in COM
binatiOn with lead arsenate. It is also
recommended that the amount Of lead
arsenate be limited to one pound of
the powdered form to so gallons of
spray mixture. Special care should
be exercised In measuring or Weighing
lead arsenate since more than the
recommended amount may cause seri-
GUS injury to twigs and foliage.
We have never had any serious diff

Proper System of Swine
Sanitation Cuts Losse,

A system of swine sanitation devel-
Oped by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture In
Mclean county, Illinois, has gradually
spread until 1t Is widely used In hog
growing states. The method used
greatly reduces losses caused by
roundworms, and extension workers in
Iowa, Nebraska and other states have
been active In acQuainting swine grow
ers with 1t. The bureau Of animal in
dustry, United States Department Of
Agriculture, says that many hog men,
using the system, are now raising as
many pigs as formerly with about
two-thirds as many brood sows, being
equivalent to reducing pig losses one
third. The method, though directed
principally against roundworms, is so
effective In controlling other disease
conditions that death losses from any
cause are rare and runtiness is seldom
observed.
The foregoing results show the prac-
teal application of scientific work
which at its outset was extremely
technical and involved detailed study
Of the worms life history and charac-
teristics. Although methods are now
well established, the bureau Is con.
tinuing its experiments with other par
asites and related diseases.

Use Natures Law
to Save Clover
Develop Strains That Are
Immune or Highly Re-
sistant to Disease.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Farmers of Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee have 1t in their own power
to save the red clover crop from fur
ther decline and destruction in. these
states, says A. ]. Peters, agronomist
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. All that Is necessary Is
to harness the old law-the survival
OF the fittest-and develop strains Of
red clover that are immune or highly
resistant to the anthracnose disease.
Acreage Decreased.
The acreage In red clover In these
states has not kept pace with the de-
mands for hay and forage during the
past Is years. While there are many
causes for clover failure, the one
cause generally responsible in this
area Is anthracnose.l On lined and
fertile soils anthracnOse is almost
surely the only cause of failure here.
There Is only one remedy, says Doc
tor Pieters, and that Is the use of
MISREPRESENTATION strains. Expert
ments by the department, as well as
observations Of work done by farm
ers, have shown that 1t is entirely
feasible to develop such strains. How
ever, they must be developed by selec-
ton OF the resistant plants In fields
where the disease is consistently very
severe. AT present there seems to DO
only one known resistant strain-the
one developed by the Tennessee ex-
pertinent station several years ago.
but not much seed Is yet available.
Save Resistant Seed.
There Is reason to believe that some
clover now growing In this infected
area Is resistant. 1t should be To-
Gated and saved for future seeding.
When field Is severity attacked the
plants surviving will likely be some
what resistant. In such cases It may
seem that the field Is worthless to cut
for seed, but 1t is at just such times
that nature has pointed out the re-
sistant plants.
BY following this practice year aft
er year until all susceptible plants
have been eliminated by the disease
and only resistant ones remain, it will
be possible to develop strains that are
much superior for local needs than
any now in existence.

Values of Oats and
Corn Used in Ration
Concentrates and Carbohy-
drates for Horses.

prepared by the United States Department.
Of Agriculture.)
Oats are one of the best cOncen-
trates for feeding horses. The pro-
tein and carbohydrate contents OF
this grain are better prOpOrtioned for
this purpose than In the case OF corn,
says the United States Department OF
Agriculture. The hull in which the
Oat kerRel is incased, though of small
nutritive value, greatly improves the
physical character of the feed by
adding bulk. Oats should be rolled
or ground for very young horses. but
may be fed to the mature animals
either whole or ground. In order to
prevent ravenous feeders from chok-
ing it Is advisable to place a little
chopped clover hay, wheat bran or
q few whole corncobs In the feed box
with the oats. While oats may form
the entire grain ration for horses the
substitution of two or three pounds
of wheat bran will improve the daily
ration, provided it does not produce
a too laxative effect.
Corn is more generally grown than
oats in many horse-producing sections
and for this reason and because 1t is
usually more economical to feed 1t IL
often given preference over oats. Be-
cause Of the high carbohydrate con-
tent more energy per pound is de-
rived from corn than from any other
grain suitable for horse feed. Since
corn is somewhat low In protein 1t
Is we'll to supplement 1t with legu-
minOus hay. The combination of corn
and alfalfa hay as n ration for horses
Is growing In favor. Equal parts by
weight of these feeds very nearly
make balanced ration. In the alb
sence Of legumes little linseed meal
or some ether protein concentrate
may be fed with the corn. Corn Is
not only fattening and heat-produclng
bat also very palatable. Horses un-
accustomed to corn must not be
changed to It suddenly because OF
danger frem collie or other digestive
disturbances.
Corn is generally fed on the cob
or sEelled, but sometimes Is used in
the form of cOrn-and-cob meal. This
feed, which is particularly suitable
for horses which lack the necessary
time or teeth to chew unground corn
thoroughly, is of about the same feed
ing value pound for pound as shelled
corn. Certain precautions must be
taken in feeding 1t, however, as when
stored for time 1t has tendency
to generate heat with the consequent
formation Of mold. For this reason
1t Is best to grind the grain only as
needed.

The ideal brood sow has long,
deep body, of uniform width from
shoulder to ham with a wide spring of
rib, wide loin and strong, evenly
arched back. She is medium to heavy
boned and has legs of medium length
The heart girth should be full and the
sides straight and even. The coat Of
hair should be smooth and fine. The

be a complete absence Of coarse fea-
lures about the head and Of deep
creases and wrinkles in the skin.

Copper Carbonate Found
Not a Virulent Poison

An experiment was recently carried
on at the South Dakota state agricul-
tural station to obtain direct evidence
whether wheat and other grain treat
ed with copper carbonate was poison
GUS or harmful to animals.
Laying hens were fed exclusively
for two weeks ON wheat which had
previously been treated with copper
carbonate. and these fowls were in as
good condition throughout the period
as similar birds fed exclusively on
untreated wheat. The results may be
regarded as a bit Of direct evidence,
indicating that copper carbonate is at
least not a viruluent poison.
