Vegetative Propagation
Used for New Varieties

New commercial varieties of fruits
may be obtained by the vegetative
propagation of what is known as bud
sports. As applied to fruit trees this
term refers to branches which for no
apparent reason bear fruit different
in size. shape or color, or are differ
emf in some other respect from the
rest of the tee.
Such bud sports are fairly common
and when propagated by top grating
remain true to type according to hor-
ticultural experts at the Michigan
experimental station. Over 100 of
these variations have been under OBJ
servations for several years 0y mem
bers of the horticultural staff of that
station and are being put to tests to
see whether they will transmit their
characteristics when propagated vege-
tatively.
Although sufficient time has not
elapsed to prove that all of the sports
under test will breed true to type,
some at least are known to have this
characteristic
Most of the bud sports which ap
pear on the fruit trees are inferior
to the parent tree, but some few are
superior and it is to these that we
may look as a source of new COM
mercial varieties.

Unthrifty Seed Is
Never Recommended
Money and Labor Is Wasted
Without Proper Start.

Poor seed will not produce a good
crop of potatoes no matter how much
labor and money are expended on
fertilizer, spraying and cultivation, ac-
eording to X. II. Fernow of the New
York State College of Agriculture.
Good seed must be relatively free
from virus diseases, true to variety
and In good condition.
An inspection of seed shows wheth-
er 1t is badly sprouted, shriveed, or
affected with black heart or freez-
Ing injury but only by examination of
the growing plants can freedom from
virus diseases be determined. To OBJ
tain healthy seed maintain seed
plot in which control methods against
virus diseases are used. or else pur-
chase seed from some one who uses
control methods.
Some growers buy enough good seed
each year to plant an increase plot
from which they obtain seed for their
main planting the following year. Such
a practice is satisfactory only If the
good seed purchased Is planted at a
distance from potatoes which have a
relatively large amount nf degenera-
ton diseases and If conditions are not
too favorable for the spread of virus
diseases within the plot.
At present there is ne way to know
absolutely whether seed Is free from
virus diseases but the use of certified
seed usually results in healthier stock.
The fields from which such seed
comes have been inspected by the
state college and have been found to
contain only small amount of virus
diseases.

Weakness of Profanity

1t was Carlyle's contention that a
frequent resort to profanity was evil
dence, for one thing, of a weak vocab-
ulary. There were plenty of good
English words, he said, that could be
used more effectively to express strong
feeling than the trite, much-abused
damn" or similar term. Maybe Car.
lyle illustrated the idea when he re,
marked that a certain man who had
gained considerable public attention
didn't have "the brains of a rabbit :"
or when he asserted that England had
a population of 30,000,000, mostly
fo0ls;" or when he exclaimed on hear
ing that Margaret Fuller had "ac-
cepted the universe" "Gad, she'd

length, with revers, wide cuffs, peck
cts and belt, but without sleeves and
with large china buttons used for both
utility and decoration.
Other one-piece frocks are made of
plain pique, narrow or wide vale, in
a wide range of colors, pastels and
bright tones, and with bold geometric
and modernistic patterns printed in
clear tones of green, red, yellow, with
sharply accentuated dashes of black.
Pique in plain colors is being used
for separate coats to be worn over
thin summer dresses, and, in the new
printed patterns of bright colors, for
the beach and sports dress.
A cotton material which answers
admirably for dresses, ensembles or
separate garments is broadcloth, long
used for mems shirts, in a large assert
ment of coors. Those of fine quality
have been much in demand at the
southern resorts, as they are expected
to be for the summer season in the
North.
A popular model of white broadcloth
Is a sleeveless one-piece of tailored
finish, cut with irregular V neck, one
wide and one narrow rever, the blouse
made with a belt and the skirt plain
or with overlapping pointed panels.
This style of dress is duplicated in
new shades of green, violet, yellow,
blue and rose.
Chidren's Frocks Attractive.
Cotton frocks for children are high
ly attractive this season. They are
made into styles almost as diversified
and detailed as those for women.
Dresses for little girls are made of fine
percale printed with tiny figures and
flowers, Dolly Warden designs and mar
row stripes and blocks.
Most of these are made in one-piece
garments, with wide hens at the bot
tom, and yokes formed with tucks or
plain and stitched at the edge. Sleeves
in most of the models are long, or at
least cover the elbow, and are gath
cred full at both the top and bottom
and have narrow shirred frills at the
wrist. Most of the percales are print
ed, with white backgrounds, though
the modern influence is seen where
pastel shades serve as backgrounds
for self-toned designs and large fig
ures. These are sweetly pretty and
come in pale rose, green, yellow and
blue, or in brighter colors where the
geometric and other modernistic pat
terms are used.
A new style of frock for the juve-
niles is made of cotton in boldly print
ed designs and in block linens. 1t is
sort of surplice, high at the neck
and joined under the arms to hang
in straight lengths, back. and front.
Some jolly models of printed material
are finished around the edges with
stitched bands Of plain goods repeat
ing color in the pattern. This gar
ment is supposed to be worn over
simple white muslin slip. In some
models the slip is made with long
sleeves and in others both are sleeve
less.

Pigs Follow Steers

Pigs should be put in the feed lot
with steers being fattened for market,
for they will gather all grain dropped
by the steers and clean up the grain
scattered around the feed bunk The
pork produced from this feed, other
wise wasted, will add materially to the
profits from steers. Pigs weighing
from 100 to $50 pounds are the best
size. Smaller pigs are not so we'll able
to look after themselves running
among the steers AS soon as the
pigs are fat enough for market they
should be sold and replaced by thin
pigs.

Skill Required
for Fattening.
Breeder Must Now Give
More Attention to Feed
ing Light Animals.
prepared by the United states Department

prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.1
Because of the higher price of beef
smaller families, and smaller pro.
portion of the population doing heavy
manual labor in recent years as com
pared with former years, the consum-
err is demanding lighterweight cuts of
beef. Cattle breeders and feeders
have been gradually adjusting their
operations to meet this change.
Instead of feeding the heavier type
of beeves commonly marketed 40
years ago st four or five years of age,
they are now feeding calves and year.
lings and marketing them when they
weigh from 700 to l,200 pounds.
Grow Rather Than Fatten.
On account of the tendency of
calves to grow rather than to fatten,
more skill is required to fatten them
within reasonable time than is nee
essary in the case of older cattle.
The several phases of the fattening
of calves for market are discussed In
Farmers Bulletin No. 1416-F, Fat
tening Beef Calves" just issued by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
In comparing the fattening of calves
and older cattle the bulletin lists sew
eral advantages in favor of calves:
The quantity of feed required to
make a pound of gain increases as
the animal grows older. Calves make
from 80 to 80 per cent more gain
than mature cattle on the same guam.
tity of feed.
Fat open heifers, weighing from TOO
to 500 pounds, sell nearly as we'll as
steers. Heavier heifers are discrimi.
mated against because they have more
internal fat and are not so we'll COW
cred as steers. and because, being old
er, the possibility of their being preg-
nant is greater.
Calves can be carried longer than
mature steers when unexneeted cir
eumstanees arise. such as bad mar
kets, strike, or an embargo, as they
will retain their "bloom" longer after
they are ready to market
Why Not to Fatten.
On the other hand. it is not always
advisable to fatten calves, says the
bulletin, for the following reasons:
Fattening calves require more at
tention and skill on the part of the
man feeding them than is the case
with older cattle
Calves of slow-maturing type will
not fatten rapidly enough to make de-
sirable carcasses as yearlings. Such
calves should generally be carried
about two years as stockers before
they are fattened.
The total feed required to produce
a fat three-year-oId steer may be made
up of a much larger proportion of
roughages than that required to pro-
duce fat yearling. Mature cattle
can eat coarser roughages and broken
ear corn much better than young
cattle.
Mature cattle may be fattened in a
much shorter time than calves, as
they have onlyato fatten, while calves
grow as we'll as fatten.

old. Well-baked corn bread crumbled
with hard boiled eggs and a little

Modern hog house plans provide for

pens. Hogs require an abundance of
fresh, pure air, which should be fur

furious drafts. They suffer much In
a close, combining, poorly ventilated
place. Sunlight should sweep all parts
of the floor each day, to destroy dis

it will pay you in the long run to start
some trees on it.
Good forestry practice is as much

Difference in Alfalfa
Seed Due to Qualities

One cannot study the behavior of
alfalfa in different fields without com
ing to the conclusion that there is a
great difference in the ability of vari-
GUS lots of seed to maintain a stand
and to resist killing out Examples
can be found of wide differences where
two lots of seed were sown in the
same field. One lot may show much
killing out and disease while the other
holds its stand in fine shape. That the
difference is in heredity due to the in
herent qualities carried in the seed
can be the only conclusion.
