I«v - "In view of the -fact that until with- ",;St'n th® past few years most farmers in ;yK'v'- UlinoiB regarded the sweet clover |?iyu' Plant as a noxious weed, a letter on Ff^?,'f2the subject from W. M. Budlong of ^Rockford, III., will be of interest to V.farmers throughout the state. Mr. ; '-Budlong says: , r _ .a "Having read the Farmers* institute bulletins with a great deal of interest, 1 know you are doing a good work. y;s yThere is, however, one subject which consider of considerable importance ^STwhicb you have not irentioiied--name- the value of sweet clover in the ro- - Nation of crops. rv "For soil inoculation preparatory to raiding alfalfa, and to restore a run down coil to a fertile state, z*o crop, can equal sweet clover. Ther© are many thousands of acres of land in 1 'Illinois so low ii> fertility that the im­ mediate attempt to raise alfalfa or most any legume on them would be a failure, but when sown to sweet clover will yield an abundant harvest of hay, besides materially enriching the eoil by its deep rooting system. "Most farmers aie not aware that sweet clover hay cut several times during the season is nearly, as tender and palatable as alfalfa hay. I have seen herds of cattle leave a good blue grass pasture for a sweet clover pas­ ture. • Experience of Two Men. "Thomas Bicholson of Davis Junc­ tion, 111., sowed sweet clover with his oats a year ago last spring, and after the oats were cut and the cattle were allowed access to the sweet clover in the stubble his yield of milk doubled and the cream more than doubled as evidenced by his creamery receipts. This Increase he said was due to the superior feeding qualities of sweet clover. His horses, which were re­ duced in flesh and run down from the summer's work, gained in weight re- , znarkably fast after feeding on swept clover. "Frank Coverdale of Delmar, la., who has 200 acres in sweet clover and has been raising it for 15 years, found the pasture lands of Iowa would be in­ creased four-fold in feedlug value if they were seeded to sweet clover to­ gether with blue grass. "In my investigations of sweet clover, I find that all vegetation grows considerably more luxuriantly when grown in close proximity to sweet clover so that their roots intermingle, as the sweet clover roots evidently supply nitrogen to other plants. Crops following a two-year rotation, with sweet clover will gain in yield from 25 to 60 per cent. "The tap roots of the sweet clover extend down into the ground several feet and when they decay they leave holes where water readily flows, mois­ tening the ground to a considerable depth. These decayed roots are at the same time a good nitrogen fertiliser. "I believe it is a mistake to try to raise alfalfa on run down farm land. If sweet clover were grown for two years and the land then seeded to al­ falfa, failure would be reduced to a minimum, a» the ground would be In­ oculated and enriched by so doing. Eight Reasons Enumerated.' 1 will enumerate a number of the qualities In which sweet clover is su­ perior to other legumes. "1. It will produce more hay on a given soil than red clover, alsike or mammoth clover. "2. It will grow on many soils too poor to raise alfalfa or red clover suc­ cessfully. "3.. It is the only clover except white clover that will Stand pasturing with cattle and horses. "4. It will add more nltroafea tethe eoil than any other legume. "5. 'it will thrive with less lime in the soil than most other legumes, al­ though it will not grow when the soil Is too acid. "6. It will not bloat stock whether fed wet or dry. "7. It has no plant disease; and it ** will thrive and combat weeds or - grasses at the same time. "8. In pastures during a drouth, sweet clover will keep green and grow. ^ when other clovers and grasses have practically all dried up." . / ADVICE ON POULTRY RAISING Boy* Are Told How They May Mfke a Success of That Busi* & .Delect a half doses or a dosen well-bred hens of any good egg-lay­ ing strain.

GOOD CULTIVATION MOST PROFITABLE J X* /' Wwrt farmers do not cultivate their potatoes the most profitable number of times. It must be remembered ^„yafhat the potato crop suffer® readily from drought, and that frequent cul- ' * tivation is practically the only means <Jjy -which the moisture can be con- ," rfWr^ed. Frequent cultivation also ' f.'^tfi^ets free much plant food that would . otherwise remain locked up in the soil, potatoes should be cultivated once a from the time the rows can be ;./1'-ifollowed until the cultivator wheels Q injure the plants. An ordinary six shovel corn cultivator is probably the practicable. More and smaller tiiiuvels would be better in a clean, WIHUIIW soil. The ^RTTEELA must BE set closer together than for corn, so that they will not run on the rows until the plants become quite large. Level culture should be the general aim. or only slight ridging for its aid in con­ trolling the weeds In the rows. The firat cultivation may be deep and fairly n. Build (or equip one already built) a poultry house o^ good design to be used in this project. One would not desire a smaller house than 8x10 feet. One hundred hens may be housed in a building 30x20 feet. Fence off a run and keep the chicks ens of this project separate from oth­ ers that may be about the place. Draw a plan of your house, show* lng all details of construction and equipment. Write all notes explaining the eon* struction, equipment, costs, and points of excellence of the house yon en. Provide a dry floor, upon which straw and chaff may be placed, also keep a constant supply of clean, fresh water. Have a hopper of simple con­ struction to hold the dry mash food and a box of road dust for wallowing, also a small box for oyster shells or other grit Provide nests in darkened places, and roosting poles apart from the feeding and resting portions of the house. III. Consult authorities on the fending and care of poultry, and begin the feeding and care of your pen, giv­ ing every detail your best thought. Judgment and effort. Keep accurate records of all feeds, their coets, nutritive ratio, amounts, etc. Keep records of all eggs produced and their value at market prices. The following are some good lay* lng rations for. bens: I. Grain. II. Dry Mash. 10 lbs corn. 6 lbs. bran. 10 lbs. wheat. 5 lbs. shorts. 5 lbs. oats. S% lbs. meat scraps. Place- the grain In the straw on the feeding floor, and the mash in & hop­ per. The amount to feed of this ra­ tion cannot be very definitely stated. Three handfuls of grain to a dosen hens in the morning and all they want at night, would be a good allow­ ance; this is providing you keep the hopper tull of dry mash to which the hens may run all the time. During the summer the grain ration may be reduced one-half. A pound of oil meal may be added to the grain ration In the fall. Silage is a good food for poultry. For lice on poultry, get 25 cents' worth of blue ointment (26% mer­ cury). Put a very little on the lin­ ger and rub below the anus. Install the trap neats, label each hen by number by a leg-band, and thus keep tab of each hen's egg rec­ ord. Let the egg record sheet jjhow this daily. IV. Raisin# young chicks. If possible set and carry through an incubator hatch of chickens. The earlier one can have broilers for the spring market, the more profitable is the business. The student who un­ dertakes this part of the project should carefully follow the advice of someone with more experience or the directions of some experiment sta­ tion. If It Is not possible to have an in­ cubator, allow a few of your hens to sit and hatch out broods of young chicks for your project V. Let your note-book record all failures and successes in your project, and also the profit or loss of the whole season.--Prof. A. W. Nolan. HAVE YOU BUILT THAT SILO? On the Basis of Last Year's Crop, it Saves $156 on Every Forty Acres of Corn. By H. A. M'KEENE, Secretary Illinois Farmers' Institute. Many farmers, and especially live stock producers, have long been con­ vinced of the economic value of the silo, but each year they have said: "I'll build a Bilo next year." With many of these "next year" has come and gone, and yet that silo has not been built. Inquiry reveals the fact that in many instances the farmer put off securing the necessary ma­ terials until it was too late to get the silo built for fall use. After har­ vest there Is usually a time when ma­ terials can be hauled to the farm, and now is a good time to make plana and order materials. The farmers of Illinois sustain an enormous loss each year because they tail to save the corn fodder. On 6,- 878,797 acres of land, Illinois farmers produced last year a corn crop valued at $108,827,882 for the grain alsue. The feeding value of the fodder when properly saved equals two-thirds the value of the . grain, and granting that one-fourth the fodder was saved through the use of the usual methods and the silos already built, the corn raisers of Illinois sustained a loss last year of $27,551,921. What other class of people or business could sustain such a loss each year and keep on doing business? The man who cultivates forty acres of corn and allows the fodder to waste loses, on the basis of last year's crop, $156 annu&lly, an amount sufficient to build a 100-ton silo every three years. With out high-priced lands and small margins in feeding live stock, the silo has become a modern necessity on every well-regulated farm where live stock IS produced. The dairyman finds close If there is plenty of moisture in the soil. It cuts off some of the roots, but at this stage dpes more good than harm by loosening the soil up deeply, and thus leaving it in better condition for the future growth of the' tubers and the roots. j After the first cultivation the shov­ els should always be run shallow about two or three inches deep, never deeper. EGGS FROM THE fARU •• a .

(By N. E. CHAPMAN.) The common causes of loss may be classed under several heads: Small eggs, dirty eggs, breakage, Bhrunken and rotten eggs, moldy and flavored eggs. Eggs must weigh two ounces or over to be classed as No. 1. Light­ er eggs should be consumed on the farm, rather than be sold at a re­ duced price. Like eggs too small, eggs abnormally large or misshaped should be used at home, for such will be easily crushed in the case, and are always classed as "seconds." About five eggs out of each hun­ dred marketed are classed as "dlr- o CO Out of Every Dozen Eggs That Leave the Farm, but Ten Are Fit to Be Delivered to Customer. ties." These are stained, smeared, muddy, or covered with filth. The odor of whatever soils the egg will soon penetrate the shell and flavor the contents. Market eggs should never be washed, as they take odors more rapidly and soon are stale. Eggs may be washed, how,ever, for use at home. Eggs carried to market in bran are generally classed as- "dlr* ties." The bran adheres to the shell, and is difficult to remove. It is estimated that eight "per cent of the eggs are broken in moving from producer to consumer. Check­ ed, dented or leaking eggs soon sour, and must be marketed at greatly re­ duced prices. If checked or broken on the way to market, they should be taken home for usft in the family. Eggs should be gathered often and kept In a cool, dry place until the first ' opportunity for marketing. Broody hens should be taken from the nests at once, and confined by themselves, unless needed for hatch lng purposes. After the hatching sea­ son is over, all roosters should be sold or confined, and not allowed to' run with the laying flock during the summer. Hens will lay more eggs, and be in better health without the male birds. Infertile eggs are far su­ perior for preserving, shipping and storing. " Sixty-five per cent of the contents of a fresh egg is water; and because of a porous shell this evaporates rap- Idly under most conditions, resulting in loss of weight and value. As soon as the newly-laid egg cools, an air- cell appears, which increases in size as the contents shrink from evapora­ tion. Shrunken eggs may be detect­ ed by "candling," or by gently shak­ ing when held to the ear. When the. "gurgle" of the contents is distinct, the egg is questionable. The mem­ brane of such eggs is often ruptured In handling and shipping, resulting in "frothy" eggs, of poor quality. In the summer, eggs should receive the same care and conslder&tioh as sweet milk and cream, and be marketed dally, if possible. They should not be exposed to draughts of warm air. Keep the Fence Corners Clean. There Is nothing which detracts more from the appearance of a farm than fence corners or roads grown rank with weeds. Nor can farmers afford to grow weeds. Every weed is taking nourishment required for the growth of some useful plant and it is one of the factors which reduces the profits on our high-priced land. Have Only Uniform, Standard-Bred, Laying Stock. and should be protected from the rays of the sun and moisture^, in handling, marketing and shipping. Moisture is the main cause of rot­ ten eggs. Nests on the ground or in wet straw, together with damp cel­ lars and moist "fillers" in egg cases, are mainly responsible for this con­ dition. A fresh egg will absorb odors as rapidly as fresh milk. Mustiness or moldy growth in egg- cases or fillers will taint the egg and lower its quality. Eggs should not be stored in musty cellars, or in rooms with fruit, vegetables or fish. The chickens should never be allow­ ed to drink filthy water, be fed musty grain or strong-flavored vegetables, as onions and garlic, nor given access to decaying meat or substances that will flavor the pittduct and Impair its quality. " OATS AND BARLEY STUBBLE 0 ̂OVER IC£: FIELD Net Orchard Crops.

A well kept fence is an indication of a good farmer.--C. P. Bull, Associate in Farm Crops, University Farm. St Paul, Land Should Be Plowed In August "to SMffieient Tims for thf a/".-. Weeds to Rot 'Wk" -•'if ' ' If the oats and barley land is to be drilled to grain in the fall, it should be plowed in August to give time for the weeds to rot and the ground to settle, says a writer In the Baltimore Ameri­ can. if the ground is dry and so hard as to make it impossible to plow, put three horses in the sulky cultivator. A better implement is the steel cutaway wvl, tuc ivvvu vu iuu uccp aat« cut the ground over. By harrowing the field lengthwise and then across, most of the weeds can be turned under and the hard surface broken up, mak­ ing it much easier to plow as soon as the AugusJ rtrins set in. The stubble and weeds should be plowed under and not burnt, as these, when rotted, add to the fertility of the soil and tend to make It capable of holding more mois­ ture. Long stalk or Btrawy manure should either be spread evenly over the field and plowed under or used as a top dressing after the grain, is drilled in. If the manure is rotted and fine, spread it on top of the plowed ground and harrow it in as soon as spread: The quickest and most eco­ nomical method is to use a spreader, as it can then be spread evenly and just the right quantity to the acre. One of the great advantages in the use of the spreader is In cutting up the lumps and strawy portions as it is b® ing spread. Two men with a twohorae spreader will haul and spread more manure th|an four men will spread from wagon or cart. The manure should not be put out in little piles, but spread direct from the wagon and har rowed into the top soil before it dries. There is then no loss of fertility. DAMAGE BY ALFALFA WEEVIL Larvae From Eggs Laid In 8tema of Plants Work Much Injury by Feeding Upon the Buds. Although in the middle west no alfalfa harming insect has yet caused widespread damage, Utah farmers have a serious pest to contend with known as the alfalfa weevil. It made its first appearance in 1907, coming from Europe. The adult weevil*is a hard shelled beetle, about 8-16 inch long, brown In color with a darker 71 Adult Male of the Alfalfa Weevil* Greatly Enlarged. stripe down the back. It lives over winter In sheltered placeB much the same as chinch bugs and in the early spring lays its eggs in the alfalfa stems. The larvae from these eggs do the damage by feeding upon the buds for a period of about six weeks if unmolested. Control methods recommended hj the Utah station include keeping the alfalfa growing rapidly in the Bprlng by disking or spring' toothing, remov­ ing the first crop as soon as serious injury occurs, followed with thorough spring tooth and brush dragging, and rotation of alfalfa every four or five years. As with chinch bugs It is ad- visible to keep out of the way places clean of sheltering grass and refuse and securing the co-operation of whole communities in fighting the pest. DJGESTIVE CAPACITY OF COW First Eseential for Man to Consider in Buying Dairy Animal--Other ' Characteristics. The difference between cows 1B al­ most wholly one of appetite and as­ similative power, says the Missouri experiment station. Some cows hbve strong appetites, but when put on heavy feed l^ck the strength to assimi­ late and utilize it. Their production is limited by the amount of feed they can use. Some other cows apparently have sufficient capacity but lack the appetite and thus they are limited. It was suspected at the beginning of these investigations that some cows get more value from their feed than others. On the contrary, each cow's production related .directly to the amount of food she ate and utilized. There is a suggestion in this for the tnan who is buying cows for dairy purposes. The first essential is digestive capacity. Just as important is the depth of chest, indicating vigor and rugged constitution. A bright eye is an index to the nerve ppwer and a fine skin and good quality of bone in­ dicate endurance. No one external characteristic tells more about the producing ability of a dairy cow than the size and Bhape of her udder and the veins which attach to it. The whole system should be large and elastic, without too much fleshiness. In the end a cow's producing ability can only be told by her records, but a fair guess can be made from some of these external appearances because of what they indicate. Cutting Cowpeaa* Cowpeas may be cut with the mow­ er, and after getting at least a f*l! day's sun the vines are raked up and generally lie another day in the wind­ row. They are then bunched up in 8mall bunches and after another day or two put into iarger bunches and let stand as long us weather permits, when they are drawn to the barn. "• "-iffa '"*••• Horses for Deep Plowing. Deep plowing Is essential to good farming to increase fertility and mois­ ture for better crops. Heavy draft horses, says the Live Stock Journal, are the first essential for deep plow­ ing and big loads. Deep and shallow plowing has had a long time con­ troversy and the deep plowing has won the victory for better farming by the scientific experts at the agricul­ tural colleges, and farmers who have good draft-horse teams plow deep, and the farmel*s with light sen* teams must still skim along and put up with light crops until they can gel the heavy draft teams that can pulJ a big 15-inch plow down to the beam that will produce big crops. ^ROADBED OF ALASKAN RAILROAD RESTS ON GLACIER, ,-.J ' " j • V ' ; : Bolide* Admit Situation Ha* ft* Per­ ils, Though There is Little Dan­ ger of Sudden Catastrophe-- ^ ;v|Minor Accidents Frequent. . •V--; •; : , ' Ti&ft 'Alaskan railroad, the Copper Riv­ er St -Northwestern, runs for nearly seven miles over the lower end of the Allen glacier, partly covered in this, part with moraines and veg­ etation, although at points the Ice 1B visible. In an article contribut­ ed to La Nature, says the Literary Digest, Prof. Laurence Martin, chief of the National Geographical society's Alaskan expedition, describes this part of the road and recounts the dan­ gers that is running in its risky loca­ tion. Fortunately, glaciers move slowly, and there is little peril In any sudden catastrophe. Writes Professor Martin: "During our visit in 1909 the ice waa visible on six of the railroad cuts on the terminal glacier; it was no longer seen a year later, although it could be brought to light by digging slightly. In 1909 the railroad had been built on a sort of a shield of morainic ballast, en­ cased in the ice, which had been opened - up with dynamite. It was found to be seriously changed in 1910, the sinking due to the melting of the Ice varying from two to three feet in one place and to six or even eigh/feet In others. . . . The railroad men had endeavored to repair the damage by filling in. . 'fNowhere else in the world--at least to our knowledge--has a railroad line been constructed tor nearly seven miles on the edge of a still active gla­ cier. Here the layer of ballast which supports the ties and rails lies directly on the Ice, and not, as at the Heney glacier, several mllee to the north, on a solid moraine. "This perilous situation gives rise to continual accidents; sometimes the melting of the lee displaces the profile of the road; sometimes there are formed new streams, which involve a Railway Over the Moraine, Showing the Ice on the Left. readjustment of the whole system of support; once even the abutment of a bridge sliud 16 inches toward the * river, and a new one had to be built As these difficulties are renewed every summer, it is very expensive to main­ tain the way, and the speed of the trains must be kept very low, although the passengers are never in danger, aa a very close watch Is necessarily kept of the road. "What makes the upkeep of the road still more risky is the possibility of a forward movement of the glacier. The road would be destroyed and all traffic stopped, for there would be no possible way of getting out After the period of immunity of 67 years, which 1b attest­ ed by the vegetation, a movement of this kind may take place^ny day." fmprovlng Australian Railroads. Standardising rail gauge on the rail­ roads in the continental states of Aus­ tralia Is proving coBtly through delay in pushing the work forward, accord­ ing to a recent report now in the hands of the federal government. The report of the engineers in chief recommends the adoption of a uniform gauge of 4 feet 8% inches (the existing New South Wales gauge) on the grounds of the comfort and convenience of pas­ sengers, the facility of transfer "of troops and merchandise, and the re­ duction of rolling stock. Owing to the huge cost of bringing about complete uniformity, it is suggested that aB a preliminary step the through lines from Fremantle to Brisbane (Including the tran-Australlan line now under construction) should be converted to 4 feet 8% inches at a cost of $60,710.- 000. The engineers strongly urge that the work of conversion should be be­ gun without delay, and it is pointed out that in 1897 the estimated cost of converting the 5 feet 3 inch gauge lines in Victoria and South Australia to the 4 feet 8% inch gauge was only $11,800,000 against $36,476,000 at the present time. Expanding Screw to Spike Ralls to Ties For attaching rails to ties on rail­ roads a Frenchman has invented a screw that is said to hold tighter than anything yet devised. It Is in two parts: First a hollow screw, open at the lower end, slit a short distance up the sides and having a worm in side as well as outside. This is screwed into the hole in the tie. Into it is screwed the second part, which is a solid screw, conical in shape. As this is driven home it forces the low­ er end of the hollow screw apart, making it spread and become wider below than above, thus biting the wood of the tie in a way that makes it inextricable.
