Chief Work of Association
Is Eradicating Scrubs.
•Prepared by the United Slatoe Department
of Agriculture )
Rapid Improvement of live stock In
Kentucky is taking place largely as a
result of the Lhe Stock Improvement
association, formed Must w inter through
the agencies of the State College of
Agriculture and the Louisville Live
Stock exchange. In a recent letter to
the I nited States Department of AgrI
culture. Wayland lthoads, Held agent
In animal husbandry in Kentucky, de-
scribes the activities of the orgunlza-
ilon which Includes among Its mem-
bers hankers, commission men, live-
stock breeders und farmers.
“The main Idea of the association,"
he states, “Is the Improvement of live
stock in Kentucky, and the chief line
of work will he In eradicating scrub
sires and putting In pure breds. At
present we have one full-time Held
man with the association. He Is an
old auctioneer, and In the past has
been largely Instrumental In promot-
ing pure bred live-stock sales. We
have decided here to use any or all
means toward live-stock Improvement
and a big change is already being
noted.*’
'I he results of the association’s ac-
tivities are evident also In the records
of the "Better Sires—Better Stock"
campaign, conducted hy the states
and the department. In an active ten-
days’ campaign with meetings and
farm visits in Union county. Kentucky,
the number of persons using pure bred
sires exclusively on their farms in-
creased from 73 to 270. Similar work
Is In progress in several other coun-
ties. Every person enrolling In the
better-sires campaign receives a suit-
able emblem of recognition showing
his participation in live-stock Improve-
ment work.

Cane Fruits Need Care
After Crops Harvested
As soon as the crops of blackber-
ries, raspberries or loganberries are
harvested, the old vines should he cut
out and burned. These old vines carry
over many disastrous diseases. Any
plant that looks suspicious In any
blackberry or raspberry patch should
lie burned. Summer pruning can lie
carried on in the young canes of bluek-
berrlcs and black raspberries. As
soon ns tlie canes are two or three
feet high they should he pinched
buck, forcing out laterals. If these
laterals become too rangv, they can
he cut buck slightly In the'spring of
the year.
Raspberries Subject to
Troublesome Ailments
The red raspberry, as well as the
blackcap, Is subject to u number of
diseases, neglect.of which may prove
to lie quite troublesome, Imt If healthy
Plants are secured, it should lie pos-
sible to keep cite plantation In n
healthy condition for quite a numlier
of years, and they will he found quite
remunerative.
It is not quite uneommon to find
Helds of t he blackcap raspberries
which have been fruiting for ten or
more years and which are practically
free from raspberry diseases.
Many of the failures are due to
planting upon unsuitable locations.
Sometimes the soil is poorly drained,
which Is always fatal to the growth
of the plants, and in other cases the
plants ure set on light sandy soils al-
most devoid of hutnus and plant food.
It can hardly he expected that good
results will he obtained, especially as
the plants growing under these con-
ditions are not likely to receive the
care that would be given them when
they ure yielding proHtuhle crops.
Blossoms of Strawberry
of Two Different Kinds
Strawberry blossoms are of two
kinds. One kind Is called perfect,
stumlnnte. or male, and the other kind
Imperfect, pistillate, or female. Some
varieties have perfect blossoms and
other varieties have imperfect bins
toms. Those with perfect blossoms
produce pollen which will fertilize
both perfect and Imperfect blossoms
and enable them to hear fruit. The
varieties with Imperfect blossoms can-
not set fruit without receiving pollen
from perfect blossoms.
Make Fight on Insects
and Diseases in Summer
Summer is the time to begin to look
after the borers. The pnrndl-chlom-
benzlne has established Itself as an
efficient control for borers In peach
and plum orchards. If. as now ru-
rmued. tills same substance may he of
some benefit In controlling root insects
on strawberries and possibly the woolly
aphis on tin* apple, it will prove to lie
a great boon to u new class of growers.
Straw Not Recognized
as Valuable Cow Feed
Oat straw is not generally recog-
nized as a valuable food for dairy
cows; yet If given In reasonable
quantities every two or three days
they will clean It up with a relish,
whereas If given them exclusively as
a roughage they will push It over the
manger and become as thin as a string

Plan Outlined to Kill
Rats in Chicken House
If your chickens are being killed hy
rats, send for the government’s new
free bulletin No. 1302. “How to (let
Rid of Ruts." With some of the reiue
•lies recommended In this bulletin a
whole family of rats can he killed In
a single night. Two or three rats can
kill dozens of chickens In a few hours.
Campaign Among Farmers
for Cream Improvement
Creameries suffering losses due to
poor grades of butter are urged hy A.
.1. McGuire, dairy specialist with the
agricultural extension division of the
l ulversify of Minnesota, to put on an
educational campaign among their
putrons for Improving the quality of
their cream.
“Interest can he aroused In having
all cream delivered at least twice a
week and In improving the methods
on the farms for greater care and
cleanliness so that pure sweet cream
w III he delivered." he says. “The wide
difference in price between good and
poor butter results in serious losses
under present conditions und can be
prevented."
A continuous loss lu the price of htft
fer because of poor quality has led to
the failure of creameries, Mr. Me
(tuire asserts.
More Nectarines Should
Be Grown in Orchards
New York agricultural experiment
station believes that more nectarines
should he grown. Tltey are recom-
mending the Hunter, n variety devel-
oped hy the experiment station. The
trees of this variety ure described as
being large, vigorous, hardy, healthy
and productive. The fruit Is said to
he large, handsomely colored and very
good In quality. It Is believed that
this nectarine should he grown in nil
the home orchards and might have
good commercial possibilities if plant
ed on a small scale.
Excessive Amounts of
Com Not Recommended
The statement that bundle corn Is
i»-*i good for cows Is one of the half
truths that often do considerable harm.
Where cows are fed an excessive
amount of corn. It makes what Is
known as narrow ration which tends
to produce flesh rather than ndlk.
Pinch Back New Shoots
of Blackberry Plants
The new shoots of blackberries
should be kept pinched hack as they
reach about the height of thirty
Inches. This will cause them to
branch, thus Increasing the fruiting
area for another year as well as make
the plants stocky, more accessible and
on account of their rigid habits will
hold the berries up off the ground an
other year.
Nicotine-Lime Dust to
Control Cabbage Aphids
At the Geneva, N. Y , experiment
station the best results in controlling
cabbage aphids has b»4*n secured
through the use of 1 per rent nicotine
lime dust. A hand blow gun is used to
dust the plants, confining the treatment
to the Infested plants. It takes about
thirty pounds of dust to treat an ai r*1
of cabbage. Two applications are usu-
ally necessary.
Sprayed Potatoes Show
Great Increase in Yield
Does It pay to spray potatoes? Last
year in over 400 demonstrations well-
sprayed potatoes showed an Increase
of 74 bushels per acre, and the use of
dlseusc-free seed resulted In an In-
crease of GO bushels per uore.
Don’t let timothy hay stund too long
before cutting, advises the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Only a small percentage of timothy
buy marketed euch year grades No. 1,
statistics show, but the department's
hay grading specialists have found
that n large part of the timothy hay
which has been grading No. 2 and
No. 3 timothy would have been No. 1
had It been cut at an earlier stage of
maturity, provided the method of cur-
ing and weather conditions were fav-
orable for producing a good quality of
hay.
Color Determines Grade.
Under the United States timothy
grades, which have been recom-
mended recently by the Department
of Agriculture, color nlone determines
the grade unless the hay Is very
weedy. Color in hay is caused hy the
amount of brown leaf surface, brown
or bleached heads, and bleached and
off colored stems. It has been found
that there is a close relation between
the time of cutting or stage of matur-
ity of timothy bay. and the amount
of color.
In the United States grades for
timothy hay the maximum allowance
of brown leaf surface for No. 1 tim-
othy Is 40 per cent, with 2 per cent
of brown or bleached heads, and 5 per
cent of bleached or off-colored stems.
To prevent the color from exceeding
these limits, it has been found that
under normal conditions, the hay as
cured hy tlie average haymaker must
be cut not later than when In full
bloom. In some sections, and tinder
certain conditions. It may he advis-
able to cut the hay even earlier.
There appears to he an Itfea preva-
lent among producers in some sec-
tions that early cut liny is more
washy or laxative than hay that Is
riper, but there Is practically no ac-
curate data on tills subject. Agricul-
tural experiment stations have found,
however, that the sooner hay is cut
after coming Into full bloom, the more
total digestible nutrients it wlIJ con-
tain. Tills earlier cut hay also will he
palatable and relished hy stock.
Slnee hay cut nt this time Is more
nutritious, and will also he of n higher
commercial grade than late cut hay.
producers are urged to cut their hay
at the proper time unless It Is im-
perative that more Important work
must be done on other crops.
Weather Is Important Factor.
Weather Is also an Important factor
In producing good hay. Best qualify
hay Is often almost ruined hy rain.
While buy which has been stained
hy rains or heavy dew may often he
fed on the farms to advantage, it Is
discounted in the markets. Producers
should keep this damaged hay sepa-
rate from the better hay, as It Is Im-
possible to separate It later when bal-
ing or marketing. A little damaged
hay mixed with the good frequently
causes the buyer to refuse to take the
better hay except at u very heavy dis-
count. Only choice qualities of hay
bring the higher prices, therefore pro-
ducers should harvest their hay prop-
erly.
The suggestions recommended hy
the Department of Agriculture are
summarized us follows:
1. Ktnrt cutting your timothy hay
as soon as possible after the meadow
reaches early or first full bloom.
2. Cure In the manner that will best
preserve the color ami quality of the
hay.
3. If any buy becomes stained or
damaged from rain or too long ex-
posure to the sun. store apart from
the good -hay; also keep weedy buy
separate from the clean buy.
Chase Sour Cherry Most
Satisfactory at Geneva
The Chase sour cherry, believed to
have originated near Riga, Monroe
county, New York, has proved so sat-
isfactory on the grounds of the ex-
periment station at Geneva that the
station fruit specialists are recom-
mending that it be planted In place of
English Morello, the stnndard late sour
cherry for North America. The Chase
Is described as being of the same type
of cherry as the Morello, but with
fewer faults.
“The trees of the Chase ure larger,
healthier, more spreading, and the
brandies do not droop ns do those of
Morello," says the station horticultur-
ist. “The leaves are larger and the
fruit better distributed. The cherries
are larger, possess the same dark color
and shape of the Morello, except with
a deeper cavity, and ripen a little
earlier, but are much milder In flavor
and therefore pleasanter to eat out of
hand than the sour, astringent Morel-
lo. The Chase Is an Improved Morel-
lo and should he planted In place of
that well-known variety.”

Clover or Grass Sod Big
Help for Potato Plant
"Fertilization of tile potato crop l»y
clover sod Is u matter of major Impor-
tance on new clay soil* low In hutnus,"
says At. J. Thompson, superintendent you’re used to the
of the northeast Minnesota experiment
station. A summary by Mr. Thompson
of seven years of potato work shows
that clover or trass sod Is the cheap-
est and most Important factor la pota-
to production on heavy clay soli.
"When pastured the previous year,"
says the superintendent, "the largest
yield occurred; when the hay crop was
plowed under, the yield dropped nine
bushels, anti when the hay crop was
harvested, the yield dropped 25 bush-
els." An experiment made In 1022 In-
dicates that early planting Is to be
preferred. Potatoes planted June 5
produced only 8(1 per cent as much as
stock planted May 20; the June 20
crop was 55 per cent and the July 1
crop 50 per cent of the yields from ’the
May 20 plots. Not only were the
yields of the later plantings Inferior,
but the quality was below standard.

“The Kittens Are Very Comfortable."
1 have had nil L could possibly eat
without having to go out and even so
much ns smell for a mouse.
And that is what I call very satis-
factory housekeeping.”
‘‘Yes,’’ said Mrs. Black Cat, “you are
really very lucky. I am fortunate, too.
though sometimes I do enjoy a mouse.
However, It Is not because 1 am not
fed all I want. It Is because I love
the hunt and the chase.”
"Well, now you speak of It," said
Mrs. Cat, "I think I will go mouse-
hunting myself before long. Yoiir
speaking of It makes me think of
pleasant past adventures. But let us
take a little nap now."
Mrs. Black Cat wasn't In the least
Insulted because Mrs. Cat suggested
that thej' should keep quiet and rest.
She, too, felt like a nnp.
So the two cats closed their eyes
nnd they had a delicious cat nap and
after a while as the sun was going
down Mrs. Black Cat got up and
stretched herself nnd said:
Hell, Mrs. Cat. L must be going
home. Supper will be ready for me.
And I believe In being on time for my
meals.”

"And I know the kittens will be won-
dering what hns become of me. I
must go to ray children. Well, glad to
have seen you. Call again. Mrs. Black
Cat. Good-by, me-ow, me-ow.”
"Good-by, me-ow, me-ow," said Mrs.
Black Cut. "I’ve had such a pleasant
time and I ’in so glad you're so com-
fortably situated. Good-by, meow,
me-ow.”
