Short Farm Notes
Can the surplus food this year.

Can the surplus food this year.
Clean, pump, brigh seed is the SAT-
est
Spotted grain often means dead
germs, while dark colored grain is
usually infected with some fungus
disease.
Failure to succeed with alfalfa and
clovers is often due to lack in the
soil of the bacteria which provide the
plant with ability to take nitrogen
from the air.
Get the catch crops in to replace
those that have failed. Millet, sor-
ghum, fodder corn, COW peas, ETC., can
be planted with success.
Like alfalfa, except more pro-
nOunced, the soil for sweet clover must
be sweet. II it is not pasture6 heav-
lily enough to keep it down sweet
clover will get woody and tough.
Bluegrass is a good, early spring and
late fall pasture, but poor in summer.
At its best it will not carry as many
pigs to the acre as alfalfa, clover, or
rape, and they need more protein feed
with it.

Misiudged

President Pratt of the Standard
Oil company of New York was talk
ing about certain oil mems difficult
ties in Mexico.
'"These men have been misjudged,'
he said. ''It reminds me of story.
A generOus-hearted stranger attended
New York church one Sunday morn
ing and was so moved by the pastors
eloquence that he decided to put
500 bill in the collection plate.
"He was as modest man as he
was generous, and when the collector
approached he rolled the bill up and
concealed it in his fist; but as he was
about to make his splendid contribu-

that lightly clenched fist and jerked
the plate back and whispered coldly:

Sheep Industry of Today Is
More on Lamb Than
Mutton Basis.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Although IS per cent of the lambs
raised i'm the United States are born
in March, April and May, fresh lamb
reaches the market in steady supply
throughout the year. This is accomp-
lished in spite of the fact that little
of it reaches the status of mutton.
Forty years ago very little lamb was
Obtainable. Sheep were then usually
slaughtered at from five to ten years
of age, after considerable service in
wool production. Today, instead of
getting heavy mutton of uncertain age
and flavor and carrying much fat, the
housewife gets genuine lamb from ami
mails ranging from four to twelve
months old, mostly of mutton-type
breeds or crosses between wool and
mutton types. In other words the
sheep industry of today is largely on
lamb rather than mutton basis.
Maintain Steady Supply.
How a steady market supply Of
lamb is maintained despite the fact
that most lambs are born in the
spring is explained by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
the late fall and early winter. These
begin to arrive on the market in the
early spring, and are known in the
trade as genuine "spring lamb" Some
of the extremely early ones get spe-
cial attention and are marketed as
hOt-hOuse lambs. However, this part
of the supply is only small frac-
ton of the years total, the main
bulk of it coming, as already men
toned, from the lambs born in
March, April and May and which are
marketed from June to November.
About half o. the years market re-
ceipts reach market from August to
November. If they were all slaugh-
tered Immediately, year-round sup
ply of lamb to the consumer would
be impossible.
But they are not all slaughtered
Immediately. Fortunately for the
consumer, and also for the producer
because crowding OF consumption de-
presses prices, msny of the lambs
shipped to central markets in the
summer ind fall are taken hack to
the country to be fattened on grain,
alfalfa and other feeds. They are
returned to market for slaughter in
the winter and early spring before
the next crop of lambs begins to ar
rive on the market. In this way the
lamb feeders il the irrigated districts
of Colorado and Nebraska and in the
corn belt plG! considerable part in
equalizing the movement of lamb into
consumption throughout the year.

1t is interesting To note that 90 per
cent of the nations lamb crop is
raised in l3 western states under
Open-range conditions. Lambs so
raised are known To the trade as

Care of Strawberries

Cultivate or hoe the strawberry
plants to keep the weeds down and
loosen the soil on the surface. Pick
off buds as they appear. This should
be done to allow the plant food gath
cred TO be used in building strong
healthy plants for next years crop Of
berries. BY fall the area planted will
be almost completely matted with new
plants DO not cut runners. When
frost comes in the fall, cover the
plants with three or four inches of
straw or cornstalks or leaves.
Do not apply this mulch until the
ground has frozen solid.

Bran and Middlings

Wheat bran is largely used in all
chick mashes. 1t is bulky but fairly
,ligestible and has laxative tendency
which is beneficial. 1t is fairly high
in protein.
Middlings consist of the finer par,
ticles of the wheat kernel located un-
derneath the portion called bran. 1t
is more digestible than bran and it's
nutritive ratio is good. 1t is some
what heavier feed than bran and
mixture of the two is generally used
in chick feeds.
