Every Farm Yard Loses
Much Needed Fertility

Every farm yard has fertility going
TO waste It may be little: it may be
much. Every piece of undiseased veg
citation is the source of fertility if ii
is properly saved Every bit of vege-
table matter left over or not used
in the preparation of feeds or foods
would make the greens grow gleener
in the garden or the flowers grow more
beautiful if converted into fertility
and properly used.
In other words, select a spot some
where within easy reach and make a
compost pile of all the vegetable tops,
leaves, straw butts. cornstalks, un-
consumed hay and so on. Mix in
little good soil; incorporate into the
pile as it is made some commercial
fertilizer materials; keep ii moist If
water is available and you will have
some excellent fertility to apply to
choice spots in the garden. lawn or
other part of the farm. Use fer
tiliZer in somewhat the following pro-
portions: To each 100 pounds of dry
vegetable matter such as above men,
toned, mix in three pounds each of
sulphate of ammonia and air slaked
lime, and one pound or superphoS
phate.

Chance for Quick Calf
Profit Seen on Ranges

Creep feeding is applied 10 calves
the same as to pigs or lambs and is
especially adapted to corn belt farms.
1t also is being practiced successfully
on the ranges and especially on the ma
tive pastures of Kansas, says r. r.
Thalman of the University of Ne
braska
According to recent tests, an April
calf creep fed will consume an aver
age of six bushels of grain. This will
add approximately so pounds to his
weight by market time Should the
calf sell for 10 cents a pound, the
extra weight would return 81 bushel
for grain fed. In addition to increased
weight, creep fed calves sell from ST
TO s. a hundred higher than similar
calves not fed grain while receiving
milk. Should more finish and weight
be desired before marketing, creep fed
calves may be placed in dry lot after
weaving for a short period. Usually
so to 90 days will prove sufficient TO
put them in top finish for the fat cattle
market Such animals meet with a
ready demand at any season and re-
turns will more than meet the extra
labor or cost involved. Wei bred
calves of good quality should be the
aim for creep feeding

Italian Bees Are
Most Excellent
Superior to German Type
and Gather More Honey
in Course of Year.

The queen Is the better half of
the bee family. All efforts of the bee
keeper bring only failure unless there
is good queen in the hive, accord
ing to B. A. Slocum Of Cornell uni
yersity. "No matter how good our
equipment, how well we have packed
the bees for winter, how generous
and sugar, or how abundant the nee
tar in the blossoms, the swarm can
not make a large crop of honey" he
said, unless the queen is able TO
maintain large colony of strong, ac-
tive, and healthy bees"
italian Bees Superior.
Beekeepers, Mr.. Slocum said, be-
lieve Italian bees are much superior
to the German bees, commonly known
as black bees, in nearly all respects.
They are better workers, swarm less,
are more gentle, and are much su-
perior in cleaning out European foul
brood. Unfortunately the black bee
was introduced into the United States
more than two hundred years before
the Italian bee, and therefore the
blacks have become fairly well estab-
lished in all parts of the country.
They are now found wild in trees and
rocks in every state from coast to
coast, and in many parts of Canada.
Consequently, one very good reason
why beekeepers should rear their
own queen bees, or secure them from
reputable breeders, is to get rid of
the black bees and hybrids.
Prolific Queen Needed.
Every colony must be headed by
good prolific queen. Authorities agree
there is not so much difference in
the honey-getting ability inherited by
the different colonies as there is in
the condition of the colonies; that is,
they produce large honey crops be-
cause conditions within the hives are
ideal. This means a large number OF
strong young bees in healthy condi-
ton, with conditions around the hive
suitable for them to work effectively.
The good queen is extremely proliflc
and laws around 1000 eggs a day.
Such a queen must be large and
should have a deep body. great
number of eggs is necessary because
the amount of honey made by the
colony varies directly with the num-
Der of strong young bees in 1t.

CALF STARTER is
MADE AT CORNELL
Dry Mixture Gives a Good
Growth and Is Cheap.

Eliminating entirely the trouble
some task of heating water TO mix
with calf feeds, the new calf starter
devised at the New York State College
OF Agriculture has proved successful
in tests at the college. according TO
Charles II. Crawford of the depart
ment of animal husbandry. Calves
have been grown to six months of age
at a total cost of $50 by using the
new dry mixture, and but 325 pounds
of whole milk was fed during the firsr
II weeks.
The mixture contains 800 pounds
of ground yellow corn. $50 pounds or
rolled oats, 800 pounds Of winter
wheat bran, 100 pounds of linseed
meal, and $50 pounds of dry skim
milk. The calves were fed the calf
starter for the first Is weeks when
they were changed TO a cheaper con-
centrated mixture called the heifer
ration. The heifer ration has 800
pounds each of ground yellow corn,
ground oats, and wheat bran, and 100
pounds of linseed oil meal
Both of these feeds gave good
growth and are cheap, Mr.. Crawford
says. The calf starter was limited to
FIVE pounds and the heifer ration TO
four pounds daily. Hay was fed lib
orally.
The new feed is not sold CONNER
cialIy, but a letter TO the animal hus-
bandry department Of the New York
State College of Agriculture a. Itha-
ca, n. Z. Will bring details of the
plan and the feeding schedule.

Kill Queen Ant to
Get Rid of Pests
Poison Is Suggested to Kill
Off Whole Army.


The best way to get rid of ants is
to find their nests and to destroy the
queen, according to Prof. Glenn w.
Herrick of the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture With the queen
killed, no more eggs will be laid and
the production OF the worker ants
stops.
Carbon bisulphide kills the queen
and gets rid of the workers. 1t may
be difficult to find the nest, and some
times when the nest is found ii is
hard to get at, as in the foundation
walls. When the colony is located,
however, pour an ounce or two of the
liquid into each of several holes made
in the nest with a sharpened stick,
and then quickly stop up each hole
with clod of dirt. heavy wet
blanket thrown over the nest helps
TO retain the gas and to make fumiga-
ton more effective. The liquid evap-
crates quickly and the gas permeat IS
the whole nest. destroying the colony.
Carbon bisulphide is highly infiam-
mable and explosive and no fire should
be brought near the place which is
being fumigated
Professor Herrick also recommends
the use of tartar emetic. To make
this, mix tartar emetic with extracted
honey at the rate of one part to rwen-
ty parts of honey. If some OF this
mixture. pourned into individual but
ter plates, is set in the places where
the ants are troublesome, the insects
may be driven away.

HOMEGROWN Grain Used
in Feeding Mixture

1t is generally considered that a
dairy cow that is fed 80 pounds of
corn silage and 10 to u pounds of
alfalfa. needs grain mixture carry
ing 90 per cent of farm grown grains
and 10 per cent of high protein con-
centrate. whereas when timothy hay
is feL in place of alfalfa the grain
mixture should contain about so per
cent of high protein concentrate and
30 per cent of one or more of the
home grown grains.
Thus, when cow requires 10
pounds of grain day, and timothy
instead of alfalfa constitutes the dry
roughage of the ration. only FIVE
pounds of home grown gr,lin can be
used while the other five pounds must
be purchased at around two and a
half to three cents pounds. On the
other hand. when alfalfa constitutes
the dry roughage Of the ration. nine
pounds of home grown grain can be
used in the grain mixture with only
ne pound of protein concentrate hav
ng to be purchased.

Miscihle Oil Must Be
Thoroughly Emulsified

Miscible oils and various OF. emul-
sions being manufactured from kero-
sene and the heavier mineral oils. ii
is necessary that an emulsion of good
quality be produced in order that the
oil may be dispersed uniformly through
the diluted spray. If the oil separates
out, injury to the tree may ensue.
Two types of emulsions are avail
able, one in which the oil is emulsi-
fed with soap and cresylic acid or
soap alone; the other nonsoap
emulsion in which the oil is dispersed
by means of casein or some other pro-
tein agent. The latter may be termed
a quick breaking type and may be ex-
pected to give more trouble than the

Phrases Ascribed to
Great Men All Wrong

The Detroit News is responsible
for this 'debunking" of some great
men of the past:

any of his speeches. In his farewell
policy to steer clear of permanent
alliances with any portion OF the
foreign world" Ii was Thomas JEFF
fersOn who in his inaugural address

saying about ''fOOling the people" is
commonly attributed 10 Lincoln. but
it was probably a common prOverb
long before Lincoln ever used il. If
he did so. Herbert Hoover never
used the expression mobile expert
ment" with regard to prohibition. In
a letter to Senator Borah long be
for the Presidential campaign, Mr..
Hoover stated: "Our country has
deliberately undertaken a great So
cial and economic experiment. no
bic in motive and far-reaching in pur-
pose" Woodrow Wilson never said
this country was too proud 10 fight
In a speech TO newly natuTalized
citizens in Philadelphia. he said:
"Peace is the leading and elevaring
influence of the world and strife is
not. There is such a thing as a
man being too proud to fight There
is such a thing as a nation being
so right that it does not need 10 con

Unique Way to Prevent
Injury to Grape Crop

Perhaps the best way to avoid in
jury to grapes from bees consists of
spraying the grapes and in growing
the grapes to the ripening stage with
out punctures or injuries. Following
this, of course, the grapes should be
harvested promptly when they are
ripe. If for any reason the grape ber-
ries are allowed to hang on the canes
and become over-ripe, much injury is
liable TO occur from bees.
We may summarize by saying that
we should grow the grapes in the best
possible way in order to secure high
quality. firm. well ripened berry, says
a writer in the American Horticultur-
ist. II they are not allowed TO become
over-ripe. little or no injury will occur
from bees

Be Careful in Curing
and Storing SOVbeans

Be careful in curing and storing
soybeans. They sDoil easily. Watch
the beans after threshing to prevent
heating and moldiIg. If they are to
be used for s,ad, or if they are imma-
ture or contain a high percentage Of
damaged beans and foreign material,
let them dry out thoroughly by spread
ing them on a floor Immediately after
threshing and turning them over from
time TO time before putting them In
sacks or bins. There should be a free
circulation Of air around the sacks
cross piling them will accomplish this.

Well Constructed Tank
Efficient for Cooling

According to tests at the state ex-
pertinent station at Geneva, n. Y,
cooling in well-cOnstructed farm tanks
is easier and equally as efficient from
a sanitary point of view as cooling
owe" an aerator. The electric refrig-
orators now being offered for sale for
use on dairy farms are practical and
reliable. Whether the farmer uses a
tank of the old style using Ire or one
of the new ice machines. the tank
should be large enough so that when
filed with cans Of milk there will be
twice as much ice and water as milk.
A tank 80 inches wide. 60 inches long
and % inches deep has a capacity of
six cans. When the six cans are in.
there are two gallons of water and
ice for each gallon of milk.
