H. T. Mcknight is doing a job
with grass. trees and Aberdeens
Angus cattle at Cornwell Farm
near Forestville in Fairfax County
Mr.. Mcknight has owned Corn
well for nearly three years now
and the fields have become tangled
mats of clovers and grasses. Sc
thick Is his orchard grass and
Ladino clover that a tractor pow
cred mower has trouble getting
through it.
A "city farmer" Mr.. Mcknight
has brought to farming a touch
of the imaginative. And the farm
is blooming under his touch.
The program on Cornwell is
grass and trees. Grass for hay
silage and pasture for his cattle
and trees to provide the lumber
for farm repairs and construction
Already the program is paying off
Pole Barn for Cattle.
A pole barn, for example, cost
only $4,000. and houses the Angus
cattle and enough hay to see them
through the winter. The lumber
for the barn, with the exception
of the creosoted poles, was cut
from the place.
Cornwell's excess grass goes into
a trench-type silo that was scooped
out of a hillside in a day by a
bulldozer. The total cost of con-
struction was $l08.

out and give it to the owner of the
gasoline station.
In some sections of the country
Ienterprising gas station owners
have realized that there are a
great number of car owners who
take their dogs motoring. On a
recent trip through New England
l stopped for gas in four Or five
such stations. Outside of two of
them were pans of water and a
plate of dog biscuits. Over each
was this sign. Give Your Dog a
Drink and a Nibble." At the others
were similar biscuit trays and
idishes of cool water with just a
small sign saying. For Your
Dog"
Why do some dogs bite every
IpoStman or policeman they see?
Why do others bite newsboys who
come to their homes? Why do
some growl at the milkman and
Others at anyone wearing work
clothes? Usually there is a good
reason for a dog acting in this
manner. 1t normally can be traced
to something that happened to
the dog when he was young.
If he were cruelty beaten with
a newspaper in his earlier days of
life he is apt to consider every
letter carrier and newsboy or any
one else with paper in his hand
as an enemy. If a young pup is
kicked or abused by a milkman
then the chances are he will con-
slider all milkmen for the rest of
his life as people to be on guard
against. There is usually a good
reason, in the dogs mind, when
he growls or bites certain groups
of humans. Some such dogs are
incurable, others can be broken
from this bad habit of extra kind
tneSses being shown the animal by
the group he has learned to fear.
@. My business partner has a
Cocker that just had a litter of
pups. He told me I could have
one of the pups and take it home
with me when it is 6 weeks old
Isn't that too young to separate

from its mother at that age.

Mow-Cured Hay
Liked in MARYLAND

The NOW curing of hay is here
to stay, in the opinion Of several
Maryland farmers who have
tried it.
H. Roberts Of Mount Ararat
Farms, Port Deposit, said last
year he didn't lose a single field
of hay from any cutting through
out the summer. The dryer took
care Of our requirements.
Milton G. White Of Hyde re-
ported that his cows have never
produced like they are producing
now. He said he gets SO cans q
day now and before, even in the
best times, the top production was
80 cans a day from the same
number OF cows. He also has cut
down some of the high concen-
trate protein feed in the dairy
ration.
Earl Remsberg. Buckeystown,
said he had kept up the produc-
ton level all year long and is
using only half the grain ration
used before he mow-cured his hay
At the University Of Maryland
Agricultural Experimental Station
Agricultural A Engineer Harry j.
Hofmiester, jr., said that hay
completely cured in the field may
lose quality in several respects
For example. the carotene or vita.
min A is almost completely lost
from field cured hay. The pro-
ltein in hay may be reduced during
unfavorable curing conditions
caused by dew or rain.
| AS for the cost, Mr.. Hofmeister
said. most farmers have found il
to vary from 81 to 50 per ton
This is in addition to the over
mead cost of installing the equip
ment.

Wnen you make your mind UP
to buy puppy the price asked
by a reliable dog breeder may
stagger you. But here are some
facts to remember before stamp
ing the breeder as a Crook:
There is more risk in raising
dogs than in trading in margins
on Wall Street. Sometimes a big
litter will be born and all its mem
bers will live and thrive. Again,
just as large q litter will be born
and every puppy in it will die. In
the latter case. the breeder must
pay for the dams food and for her
care for whole year and often
must pay a stiff stud-fee and get
back not one penny.
Add to this the feeding cost and
the occasional veterinarian fee for
such pups as live and you will
understand that the breeder is
not a crook, at all. The pups he
sells must pay for the overhead
on those which died and on the
upkeep of his whole kennel.
If your dog stays at your side
or at your heel. and if you employ
ordinary sanity, you can walk with
him anywhere and everywhere
with no danger to him. He should
be taught the trick while he is
young. 1t is one of the simplest
Of his lessons, and here's how to
teach him:
Take him out on leash. Keep
saying heel" over and over again
liz a firm quiet voice, and at the
same time draw (not jerk the
leash steadily back toward you
until the dog is where you want
HIM to be. Then, if he tries to
run forward or lag behind. repeat
the command heel" and pull him
into position again. When he has
learned the meaning of the order
and usually he will learn quick
iy-try him without the leash;
using simply the word of COM
mand. Praise and pet him fol
obeying it..
knowledge of "heel'' is not only
useful for your dog to know. but
it may save his life, especially il
you live in heavy traffic district
II you operate a gas station

years and still vigorous and pro-

/ The soil preparation for peony
root is no different from that of
other long-lived perennials. The
soil should be dug deeply-12 to
Il8 inches-with well-rotted ma
Inure or compost and bonemeal
mixed into the lower 5 to 10 inches
Iof depth. This is to provide
moisture. plant food and an open
soil through which the feeding
roots can penetrate. Because the
lpeony ultimately attains a consid-
cradle spread they should be
spaced from 30 to 48 inches apart.
Some varieties will reach 36 to
40 inches in height, which would
class them as background plants.
However, that relates to the tall
bloom stalks and not the average
height of the plant, which Is sell
dom much over feet.
Peonies normally need very little
support If well grown. but the
|heavy-headed doubles will droop
to the ground during a rainstorm.
For this reason many gardeners
surround the plants Just before
the blooming season with q wire
or wooden support which will keep
the blooms out of the mud. Stalking
each bloom seldom works salts
|factorily, at least not as well as
hoops supported by. stakes.
Feed For Good Growth.
Feeding is important to good
growth and the recommends ton
lis for a small handful of bone
meal or 5-10-5 fertilizer in the
spring just before Towering and
again in the fall when the roots
become active. Over feeding is to
be avoided since it stimulates veg
Ietative growth to the detriment
Iof bloom. Some lime, or wood
ashes if available, should be ap-
Iplied each year - a small trowel-
full to the plant. The fertilizer ap-
Iplication will vary according to the
size of the plant medium
sized plant can use a small hand
Iful.
Clean culture is generally prac-
Iticed. but too many peonies are
permitted to compete with weeds
and grass and under such circum-
stances do not produce as they
should. Mulching with compost
during the summer will control the
weeds. However, in this area,
Ipeonies seem to like freezing tenn
lperatureS and the removal of the
compost from over the crown in
the fall may be desirable.
| Mark the location OF each peony
Iclump with a permanent label
so that early spring cultivation
will not damage buds that are
close to the surface.
Before closing, the peony rating
system of the American Peony
Society should be mentioned. be-
cause it is an excellent guide to
the qualifications of the many
varieties. Ten represents the top
score and any variety. provided
lit is of the desired type and color,
that scores above rs may be con-
sidered good. Most top quality
varieties rate between eight and
nine.
