FINIS--PLACING BODY IN VAULT » : v> ' 'V 1' ;;is' •: Sooner Timothy Is Cut After Coming Into Full Bloom the Better the Crop,.- (Prepared by the United state* Department of Agriculture.) Don't let timothy hay stand too lbng before cutting, advises the Utilted States Department of Agriculture. Only a small percentage of timothy hay marketed each year grades No. 1, statistics show, but the department's hay grading specialists have found that a 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 curing and weather conditions were favorable for producing a good quality of hay. Color Determines Grade. Under the United States timothy grades, which have been recommended recently by the Department of Agriculture, color alone determines the grade unless the hay Is very weedy. Color In hay is caused by 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 maturity of timothy hay, and the amount of color. ' In the United States grades for timothy hay the maximum allowance of brown leaf surface for No. 1 timothy 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 by the average haymaker most be cut not later than when In full bloom. In some sections, and under certain conditions, it may be advisable to cut the hay even earlier. There appears to be an idea prevalent among producers in some sections that early cut hay Is more washy or laxative than hay that is riper, but there Is practically no accurate data on this subject. Agricultural experiment stations have found, however, that the sooner hay is cut after coming into full bloom, the more total digestible nutrients it will contain. This earlier cut hay also will be palatable and relished by stock. Since hay cut at this time Is more nutritious, and will also be of a higher commercial grade than late cut hay, producers are urged to cut their hay at the proper time unless It is imperative that more Important work most be Aone on* other crops. Weather Is Important Factor. Weather Is also an important factor In producing good hay. Best quality hay Is often almost ruined by rain. While hay which has been stained by rains or heavy dew may often be 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 Impossible to separate It later when baling or marketing. A little damaged hay mixed with the good frequently causes the buyer to refuse to take the better hay except at a very heavy discount Only choice qualities of hay bring the higher prices, therefore producers should harvest their hay properly. The suggestions recommended by the Department of Agriculture summarized as follows: 1. Start 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 and quality of the hay. 3. If any hay becomes stained or damaged from rain or too long exposure to the sun, store apart from the good hay; also keep weedy bay separate from the clean bay. ' Chase Sour Cherry Most Satisfactory at Geneva The Chase sour cherry, believed to have originated near Riga, Monroe county, New York, has proved so satisfactory on the grounds of the experiment station at Geneva that the station fruit, specialists are recommending that it be planted in place of English Morello, the standard late soor cherry for North America. The Chase Is tie^bribed as being of the same type of cherry as the Morello, bat with fewer faults. "The trees of the Chase are larger, healthier, more spreading, and the branches do not droop as do those of Morello," says the station horticulturist. "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 flavdfe and therefore pleasanter to eat out of hand than the sour, astringent Morello. The Chase is an Improved Morello and should be planted in place 4C that well-known variety." * - 5 • < Clover or Grass Sod Big ~ 4 Help for Potato Plant "Fertilization of the potato crop by clover sod is a matter of major importance on new clay soils low in humus," says M. J. Thompson, superintendent of the northeast Minnesota experiment station. A summary by Mr. Thompson of seven years of potato work shows that clover or grass sod la the cheapest and most Important factor in potato production on heavy clay soil. "When pastured the previous year," says the superintendent "the largest yield occurred; when the hay crop was plowed under, the yield dropped nine bushels, and when the hay crop was harvested, the yield dropped 23 bushels." An experiment made in 1922 indicates that early planting is to be preferred. Potatoes planted June 5 produced only 86 per cent as much as stock planted May 20; the June 20 crop was 55 per cent and the July i 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. Straining Cloths Neejl Efficient Sterilization 8training cloths for milk should! be changed' whenever they become soiled. They should be thoroughly washed and sterilized after each using. Efficient sterilization Is accomplished by boiling or exposure to steam foe at least five minutes. PURE BRED FEMALES IMPORTANT Geofge B. Christkivik Shown Most Conspicuously in Case of Hogs. (Piwpuwa br the United States Department ef Arrtoulture.) In the Improvement of live stock, a movement which is being accelerated by various states and the United States Department of Agriculture through the "Better Sires--Better Stock" campaign, the sire exerts the greater Influence, but, once the gradlngup process has been started, the importance of well-bred dams must be recognized. It is only through the use of pure bred females that It Is possible to preserve and carry on the full value of good sires. A pure bred sire and a pore bred dam are necessary to reproduce a pure bred, which maintains an unbroken stream of known blood. That farmers soon recognise the need for pure blood on both sides of an animal's ancestry Is indicated by the figures collected by the Department of Agriculture in the campaign just referred to. The adoption of pure bred sires in most cases soon results In the purchase of a few registered females. In the last department report showing the kinds and breeding of animals owned by farmers and breeders enrolled In the campaign they were shown to have on their farms 21,541 pure bred sires and 134,- 020 pure bred females. The tendency toward the wider adoption of pure bred dams Is shown most conspicuously in the case of hogs, the most rapid multiples of the domestic farm animals. In the list of bogs owned by men who have joined the campaign 62.8 per cent of the sows are pure bred. Cattle come next with 35.9 per cent of the females pure bred. For horses the percentage is 12.5 per cent, asses 24.6 per cent, sheep and goats about 18.5 per cent. In the list of fowls owned there are 35.108 pure bred jnales and 514,422 females, which Is nearly 70 per cent of all the female fowls listed. The breeder who sells pure bred sires is building a market for pure bred females. ,£* -- : • • • . * . Good Grain Mixture to Feed to Growing Calves At the fitm calves are changed from they are released. Just a very «m«n handful la all the calf will take at first, and only as much should be fed •• the animal will clean up. Ground corn Is very mmjt It can be fed alone or In combination with other grains, such as ground oata, bran, and some oil meal. It sometimes helps to get the calf started on grain by putting a small amount on' its tongue and muzzle when the milk pall is taken away. This also puts a stop to sucking the ears of the calf In the next tie. After the young animal's appetite for sraln has Increased, the corn and oats can be (W whole, but many feeders continue to let them have ground grain. A good grain mixture to feed to growing calves is made up ef B09 pounds of ground corn. 300 ground or whole oats, and 100 r~Tiiafr linseed oil meal. Hay can also be placed before tfca calves at this time in a --h rack. Clover hay, mixed clever and HmeMy or alfalfa hay not too leafy, are afi < satisfactory. An early start In grain and hay Insures the proper development of the digestive organs of the young and assists in promoting vlgorong growth. M. H.
