and put into a seed producing plot
where the female plants will be clust-
cred about the male plant. In the
selection Of plants those which have
tall growing stems and whiih do not
branch close to the ground should be
selected as this type of plants which
produce seedlings from which there
will be less tendency for feathering out
or the going to seed as it is usually
termed, early. This method OF produc-
ton would only be practical where one
intends to grow large number of
seedlings. Where one intends to grow
just enough seed to produce plants
for an acre or two this could be done
by selecting the strong male and fe-
male plants in the field during the
sumner, stalking them and then allow
ing these plants to develop ahead Of
development Of other plants IN the
field the coming season. This way,
providing one can get made and female
plants close together, one could pro-
duce plants in the field.
There are several other factors
which should be considered, namely
Careful preparation Of the soil for
the seed bed and careful preparation
of the soil for the permanent aspar-
agus field, proper age of transplanting
of the crowns. All of these factors may
look as though they are going to re-
quire too much time and may set us
back year in development of the field
but would it not be better to wait a
year since our field lasts for at least
20 years and produce as near per-
feet field as we could by proper sell
ection of parent plants, proper selec-
ton of crowns and the other factors
necessary, rather than go along for a
20 year period with a field by fifty
per cent to eighty-five per cent eff
ficient, when it should be possible to
have a field with ninety or ninety
five per cent good stand.

Given More Water, Cows
Give More Milk

Dairymen who want the most milk
and butterfat from their COWS should
arrange to let them drink as much
water as they want when they want
it, says T. E. Woodward, of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Mr.. Woodward, who is senior dairy
husbandman in the Bureau Of Dairy
Industry, has completed experiments to
determine the relation Of methods Of
watering dairy cows to their water con-
sumption and production. The tests
were run both in warm and cold weat-
Their and included both producing
and producing cows. The results
Of watering twice day and once a
day were compared with results OBJ
tanned when the cows had free access
to water.
In these tests, according to Mr..
Woodward, the cows drank more water
when watered only twice day than
when they had water at viii or when
watered only one day, but their pro-
duction was highest when they had
water at will. The production of the
COWS in this experiment averaged 2.8
per cent more milk and 81 per cent
more butterfat when given free access
to water than when Watered twice q
day; and when Watered twice day
they produced l per cent more milk
and IA per cent more butterfat than
when watered only once day.
Mr. Woodward also reports that the
increase in milk production as result
of more frequent watering was more
marked in the case of good producers
than in the case of the low producers.
when dairy COWS are on pasture
they usually have access to drinking
water at all times, but when they are
permitted to drink may vary consider
ably. Some farmers set up individual
drinking cups in the stalls, which make
it possible for the COWS to drink at will,
whereas other dairymen turn the COWS
out of their stalls to drink, either once
or twice day
From these experiments it appears
that water at will is the most desir
able method of watering all dairy cows
Free access to water is more advan-
tageous in warm weather than in cold
weather and also more advantageous
to high producing COWS than to low
producing cows.

Make It a Happy New
Year for Your Teeth

Start the New Year with an Exam
ination of your Teeth.
I say to patients; get your teeth all
fixed. Yes But don't stop there.
That's just the starting point. From
then on, keep them that way. How?
Follow closely:
Brush your teeth properly at least
twice every day-morning and night;
at night is the most important time
Besides keeping your teeth clean, this
will keep your Filings smooth; no
rough edges will form to lodge food
particles.
Then see your dentist every six
months and have him repolish all the
Filings, refinishing each one SO that
it is in exactly the same condition as
when it was new-just as smooth as
enamel. If that is done, doesn't it seem
reasonable to believe each filling will
be in nearly perfect condition a long
time? Remember, be true to your
teeth or they will be false to you.
Dental examination is a regular SER
vice which I render without charge or
obligation.

Care Should Be Used in
Developing Asparagus Bed

Like many agricultural enterprises
the development of new paintings OF
asparagus is a four or five year pro-
gram. The planting, once established,
should last for at least 20 years. Be
cause of the length of the time required
to establish a new bed and bring it
into good bearing there is always
tendency on the part of the grower
to hurry the planting and often forget
some of the essentials to the securing
of field which will yield maximum
crops. Study of agricultural conditions
today, even in our community, bring
out rather clearly the need of enter
prises where production per unit is
high. In other words, the man who
can produce $50 boxes of grass per
acre is going to do it more cheaply
than the man who can produce but
$50 boxes providing, of course, that
the same expenditure is put into the
production. The man who can produce
the $50 boxes will come much nearer
making profit in any year than the
man who can produce but $50 boxes.
For this reason those developing as
paragus acreage should give careful
attention to some of the fundamentals
which may be overlooked.
Let us look at the record of one of
our fertilizer plots as far as stand is
concerned on the various plots. This
man, in developing his field years ago,
did not secure plants from carefully
tested parents. A study of these plots
this summer showed the following re-
suits: Plot l had 18 missing plants,
49 weak ones and 26 strong ones. Plot
2 had % missing, 81 weak, Ii strong
ones. Plot had 81 missing, Al weak,
and 40 strong ones. Plot had 20
missing, 60 weak ones and 26 strong
ones. Plot had missing, 80 weak
ones, and SO strong ones. This is
enough to show the wide variation be-
tween plot 2 and plot 5, for instance.
If one had field made up OF areas
as represented in either one of these
plots one could not expect to get very
high returns per acre from it. When
looked at from the standpoint of miss
ing and weak hills how could one eX-
pepct to get profitable returns from
such a field?
The California Station has probably
done as much in the way of study OF
strong asparagus crowns as any sta
ton in the United States. They en-
phasize particularly the selection OF
parent plants for seed production and
then rigid culling of crowns as they
develop in the seeding row.
In the selection of parent plants
their recommendation is for the selec-
ton of male crowns to female crowns
in the production of one to 5 or 6, these
to be selected during the late summer
based upon growth at that time. Dur
| ing the winter these can be dug up

Principal Essentials in
Mclean Sanitation Plan

The main essentials in the Nc
Lean system of swine sanitation
are, to get the SOW and pigs on
land that is free from worm infes-
tation. 1t is the old story of pre-
vention being worth more than
cure.
There will be notifications of
the four points, which are given
below. to meet your needs, but as
long as you carry out the aims Of
the work you should get results.
The four things necessary for sue
cess are:
First, wash the SOW thoroughly
before she is put into the farrow-
ing house, which has been scrubbed
with boiling lye water. Second,
confine SOW and pigs to the farrow-
ing house, If it is on polluted soil,
until they are ready to move to a
clean pasture. Third, haul, do not
drive. the sow and pigs from the
farrowing house or clean quarters
across polluted ground to the clean
alfalfa or clover field where there
have been no hogs for at least a
year. Fourth, do not allow the pigs
access to old pastures, lots, road
ways or any place where they can
become infested with worm eggs
until they are at least four months
of age

Ancient Structure.

Paris.-The Temple of Isis, on
the island of Philae. is in danger
of being destroyed by the ravages
of the River Nile, and art lovers of
many nations have demanded that
something be done to save it.
Philae is near Assuan, Egypt,
and south of Syene. 1t is small
granite rock fringed with rich
greenery, about 1,2O0 feet long and
450 feet wide, almost covered with
ancient buildings of architectural
beauty and historic interest.
The great Temple of Isis, to
whom the island was sacred, was
built chiefly by Ptolemy Epiphanes
and continued by his successors,
especially Ptolemy III.
The professions of pilgrims ap-
preached the island from the south,
were received by the priests at a
flight of steps at the southwest cor
ner and then passed into a court
with a colonade to the right and
left, erected by Tiberius and later
Roman emperOrs.

GAINING SUPPORT
OF Interest to Growers and
Feeders of Stock.

With live stock prices eXcep-
tionally low and feeding operations
difficult to finance, both growers
and feeders of cattle and sheep in
some parts are considering share
feeding plans.
To call attention to some of the
important points that should be
considered at the start in forming
such a contract, the extension serv-
ice Of the Colorado Agricultural COL
lege has outlined what is believed
to be fair and equitable arrange
ment, based on the relative invest
ment of grower and feeder. These
suggestions have been prepared by
e. j. Maynard and L. II. Rockford.
Copies will be sent free to anyone
interested.
Gates that only in times like the
present do producers and feeders
"get together" on a share basis.
According to the plan, the grow
er and feeder agree on the inven-
tory value of the live stock deliv-
cred to the feed lot, based on the
current market price of feeders Of
similar grade and weight. They
also agree on prices of feeds to be
used which will be measured or
weighed to the live stock by the
feeder. Both parties agree to the
ration to be used and method Of
feeding and handling of stock dur
ing the feeding period.
Mention is made of the interest
charges, compensation for labor, in
vestment in feed yards, shelter and
equipment, length of feeding period
and gain. Death loss, shipping and
selling expenses are shared Jointly
by each.
The plan includes a detailed ex-

Lambs Need Range

Heavy grain feeding in close
confinement has caused heavy
losses to the lamb feeders in Wis
consin in the last two years. The
lambs fall over and die in convul-
sions. Drs. F. B. Hadley and c. G.
Strange, University of Wisconsin,
studied this illness and demon
strated that it was due to heavy
concentrate feeding to lambs which
had just come off of a rOughage ra-
ton. When the lambs were allowed
range and fed according to their
appetites the condition was pre-
vented.
