NEW VARIETY SWEET CORN
BEATS BANTAM BY Is DAYS

A sweet orr which is II to % days
earlier than Golden Bantam has been
originated and produced by Prof. A.
F. Yeager, horticultural at North
Dakota Agricultural college. Its stalks
stand four feet high while the yellow
kerneled ears produce on the average
of eight rows to the cob. A check
shows that the number Of ears Of this
new variety per acre exceed the
amount produced In Golden Bantam
which is one Of its grandparents.
Golden Bantam Is a selection from a
cross of Sunshine and Pickaninny

Sweet Clover Found to
Be Popular Legume

White sweet clover proved to be the
best legume as a MONEY maker In
comparison with four other legumes,
on the light-cOlored soils, according
to G. ]. Badger, University of Illinois.
The crops Of wheat, corn and oats
following the use of biennial white
sweet clover were worth more money
than after any other legume. but red
clover was a close second. Values
of crops following hubam (annuai
sweet clover), yellow blossom sweet
clover, alsike and yellow biennial were
close together but below red clover.
The yields of corn following the
different clOvers were III bushels,
following white sweet clover. 1914 for
red clover, 15 after alsike. 1874 after
yellow sweet clover and II bushels
after hubam.
Wheat yielded highest after hubam
and oats yielded highest after yellow
sweet clover.

Alfalfa Satisfactory
Pasture for All Stock

Alfalfa makes a satisfactory horse
pasture. and in fact is good for any
class of stock, the only danger being
that of bloat when the growth is very
luXuriant and in wet weather. Ii is
advisable TO have some tame grass
pasture alongside the alfalfa so that
horses can have variety of feed, in
which case they are not so likely TO
take injury from the alfalfa.
There is not much likelihood of in.
PRODUCING noxious weeds into a farm
through the use of sweet clover or
alfalfa. The first crop is very often
cut for seed, though some farmers
make a practice of cutting the first
crop early and high and allowing the
second crop to mature for seed. Where
seed is grown commercially, the first
crop is the one generally used.

Casein Superior
Spray Spreader
Makes It Easier to Give
Fruit Complete Coat of
Lead Arsenate.

Prepared bv the United states Department
of Agricuture.l
A mixture of lead arsenate and wa
ter, when sprayed on the fruit and
foliage of q tree. does not spread as
evenly over the surface as is desir-
able. The liquid tends TO collect in
drops and much of it rolls off To
overcome his certain materials
known as spreaders are used.
Use Is New.
The use of spreaders in cOdling-
moth sprays is comparatively new.
says the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. So far as is known at present,
Spreader is desirable addition to
a lead-arSenate spray. Ii is possible
to control tile insect just as thorough
ly without the spreader as with it. 1t
is somewhat easier, however. TO give
the fruit complete coat of poison
when spreader is included The
spreader cannot be depended on to
make the spray go further, except
that without ii there is tendency
to overspray, until the material col
lects in relatively large drops. The
spreader added to lead arsenate has
the advantage of eliminating the con-
spicuous white blotches that usually
appear on fruit sprayed with the ar
senical alone. Chemical analyses
show that there is just as much poi
son on an apple when a spreader has
been used as when il has not. The
difference is that the poison is more
evenly distributed.
Among Fest Spreaders.
Among the best spreaders are soap,
certain oil emulsions, glue, and casein.
Casein is by far the most satisfac-
tory spreader obtainable at present.
In its pure form it does not mix with
water, and it must be combined with
an alkali before il can be put into the
spray tank. The manufactures gen.
orally does this, but any grower can
mix his own spreader by directions

furnish upon application.

Starving baby chicks for the first
three days of their lives, once thought
TO be necessary, is no longer so con-
sidered. Feeding the chicks when they

produces better results.
Cockerels are usually larger and
stronger than pullets. The shank of
males just above the foot is enough
larger on chicks of the same age TO
help one in deciding which are cock
erels and which are pullets.
Crowding the chicks not only causes
coccidiOsis and cannibalism among
them. but also delays their feathering
out. When six weeks of age they
should have at least double the spare
