Suggestions on How to
Keep WeeVils From Beans

If you store beans in a warm
place they are likely to be infested
with weevils. 1t is better to store
them at temperature not over SO
degrees. They can be treated with
air-slaked lime, using one pound
of lime to four pounds of seed.
In storing beans for food consump-
ton it is recommended that they
be placed in cold water, brought to
temperature of lao degrees and
dried. This kills the weevils, does
not interfere with either the food
value or termination of the beans.
A Weevil is tiny insect that lays
its eggs on the green pods in early
fall, the eggs Matching to very small
white grubs which develop and re-
produce in the beans. There may
be, six or seven generations in a
year Prairie Farmer.

FARM
REDUCE TIME AND
LABOR ON SILAGE
Will Enable Farmer to Put
Up Higher Quality.

Modern equipment and improved
methods greatly reduce the burden
of ensiling grasses and legumes,
save time and enable the farmer to
put up higher quality silage.
Any green crop that is harvested
for grass silage should go into the
silo just as soon after cutting as
possible. In good haying weather,
not over two hours should elapse
between moving and ensiling. Dur
ing cloudy or rainy weather some
what longer time may be permissi-
Bile. II the crop becomes partly
dry in the field, water should be
added at the silo in order to re-
place the lost moisture and insure
a high quality silage.
In moving the crop it is good
plan not to keep more than one
half day ahead of the needed sup
ply. A Windrower which may be
attached to either horse-draWn or
tractor mower will eliminate one
field operation. The windrower
works especially well on level fields,
or fields that are not too rolling.
The use of modern cylinder rake
bar leaders saves great deal of
labor. When selecting a loader it
is well to purchase one specifically
designed for green hay. They will
handle dry hay as well as green
hay.
Many experienced operators use
square-shaped racks or dump truck
bodies, and allow the hay to fall as
it will from the loader, without hav-
ing anyone on the load. When the
green hay is hauled to the silo con-
siderable time can be saved by
dumping the load on the ground.
Providing the silo filler is set in
trench or set with its wheels in
the ground up to the axles, the labor
of feeding the machine is greatly
reduced. Standing on the ground
and with the cutter lowered, two
men can pitch ton of green hay
into a silo filler in 10 minutes or
less.
Almost any cutter that is If good
condition may be used in ensiling
green crops. Modern machines with
feed rolls designed for handling hay
crops are easier to feed than stand
ard ensilage cutters. The silo filler
should be set for a cut of one-fourth
to one-half an inch. Longer cuttings
do not pack. satisfactorily and may
result in some spoiIage.'

Agricultural Notes

Uncle Alb says success in farming
requires three things: Good soil,
good weather, and good farmer.
Approximately one out of every
twelve pounds of meat produced in
the United States is made into sau-
sage.
The beef cattle industry seems to
run in cycles. The last peak was in
1884, and the low was about the
first of 1888. Since that time there
has been slow expansion which is
expected to continue for several
years.
Farm account books can be start.
ed most conveniently when tha in
ventory of feeds and supplies is at a

Forty-seven states are now in the
modified accredited area after state
wide tests for the detection of cattle
infected with bovine tuberculosis.
Sheep that are fed all of the good
quality legurne hay they will clean
up will need less grain than sheep
that receive poorer-quality rough
ages.

Egg Grading Important

Egg grading is not only practical
and profitable, but it soon will be an
absolute necessity if the egg indus
try is to 60 ahead. The purchasing
public, is beginning to demand
quality graded egg and the producer
must, sooner or later, familiarize
himself with standard egg grades
and qualify as producer of such
product, says the North Carolina
state college. Not only do eggs of
known grade command the high
price on all markets, but the grad
ing gives the producer an opnor-
tunity to Gull his flock to better ad-
vantage and save only those hens
that are producing the best eggs.
