My earliest recollections of hog

considerable thought, writes F. C

The ' troughs were built of concrete.
The doors, sides and tops were made
of home-sawed, well-seasoned one-Inch

much abuse and Is excellent for such
purposes.
Lever A Is 3-16-Inch by 14 -inch iron,

lock them back. The weight of the
hogs on the doors did not Injure the

SUPERIOR RATION FOR SWINE
Pigs Fattening More Rapidly on Pea
, Ration Than on Any Other at
Washington Station.
' (By FRED SCHROEDER.)
Experiments being conducted on tht
Washington state college farm with a
pea ration for pigs shows that the
hogs are fattening more quickly than
on other standard rations. Fifty hogs
are being used In the experiment be
ing conducted by Benton M. Bangs,
whose work in supervising the experi
ment will entitle him to master's de
gree in agriculture.
The animals are divided into four
lots, and are being fed as follows: Lot
1, barley 60 per cent, shorts 30 per
cent and oil meal 10 per cent; lot 2,
peas 60 per cent, shorts 30 per cent,
tankage 10 per cent; lot 3,' peas 60
per cent, shorts 30 per cent, oil meal
10 per cent; lot 4, barley 60 per cent,
shorts 30 per cent, tankage 10 per
cent.
Let 2, handled, Is showing the best
results, with lot 3 second, both being
a major ration of cleanings or cracked
peas. The hogs are being weighed
every week, the experiment being con
ducted over a period of eight weeks,
being now in the last week.

ever before; prices of hogs are now
past the 16-cent level ; demand for pork

j VALUE OF FARM Y00DL0TS EMPHASIZED
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Contrary to general opinion, the
farm woodlots of the country not only
furnish immense amounts of material
for local use, but are important
sources of supply for timber for the
general market, says an expert of the
forest service in a new publication of
the department of agriculture, on 'The
Status and Value of Farm Woodlots
in the Eastern United States." Much
of the choice hickory, ash, and white
oak now in use comes from farm wood
lots. Many woodlots contain timber
every bit as good as that in the larger
tracts and fully as capable of yielding
high-grade lumber. If properly sawed
and seasoned. Others have large quan
tities of pulpwood suitable for paper
making, low-grade lumber for boxes,
bolts for slack and tight cooperage,
and excellent material for veneer.
In 1909, It is stated, the farmers of
the Eastern states alone received from
the sale of their woodlot products an
average of $81 for each reporting farm,
or nearly $170,000,000. This was more
than the value of the entire potato
crop, nearly double that of the tobacco
crop, and more than twice that of the
combined barley and rye crops. In
that year there were more than 143,
000,000 acres of farm woodlands in
1 j

the Eastern and Central states. This
amount was a decrease of about 15
per cent from the figures reported in
1880.
Source of Revenue.
Where agriculture is in the pioneer
ing state, it Is pointed out, the sale of
wood very ofte'n enables the farmer to
tide over the first years during which
he has not enough land in cultivation
to support him. In later years the
woodlots furnishes material for use on
the farm, and if taken care of may
prove a valuable source of revenue.
As settlement becomes intensive and
the value of land advances, there is a
tendency for the area devoted to wood-
PEACH TREE BORERS
QUITE DESTRUCTIVE
Nearly AH Sprays and Washes
Are of Little Value in De
stroying Little Insect.
The owners of peach orchards In
the eastern half of the United States
have found that the peach tree borer
is the most destructive insect with
which they have to contend. Experi
enced entomologists say that nearly
all sprays - and washes, as well as
mechanical protectors, are of little or
no value in destroying the peach tree
borer. What little good these agencies
do will not half cover the expense of
their use. During the winter the borer
lives in the larva state a few inches
below the level of the soil, in a deep
burrow under the bark of the tree.
When warm spring days come, it
feeds upon the tender growing tissues
beneath the bark and causes a sickly
condition of the tree. If a sufficient
number "of the borers Infest one tree
they will soon kill it.
To kill the borer, remove the soil
early in the spring when not frozen
and cut away the larvae. They can
be located by the exuding gum or saw
dust where they work. A sharp knife.
should be used for the work, and the
ground replaced and left until the mid
dle of September. This will prevent
eggs being laid In the same places.
This cutting can be done twice a year,
in the late fall and early spring.
MOST DIFFICULT OF
INSECTS TO CONTROL
Amount cf Damage Done by Corn
Ear Worm Can Be Reduced
by Use of Poisoned Dust.
It pays to combat the corn-ear worm,
in the opinion of J. W. McCulloch, as
sistant entomologist in the Kansas ex
periment station. Guaranteed worm
free roasting ears sell for 5 cents a
dozen more on the market than other
corn.
"The corn-ear worm has long been
recognized as one of the most difficult

lots to decrease. At the same time
woodlot products increase in price and
the value of the woodlots themselves
is more generally recognized.
Because it is a convenient source of
firewood and other material, the high
est direct value of the woodlot. it is
stated, is to the local communities.
The farmers use more of the woodlot
products than they sell. Much of the
material which is sold is consumed in
the neighborhood and many small ve
neer, cooperage, and other woodwork
ing plants derive their entire supply
from local woodlots.
Development of Woodlots.
It is pointed out that there is
every Incentive for communities to en
courage the development of local
woodlots and thereby protect them
selves from future timber scarcity and
high prices. With proper treatment
woodlots can be made to yield a reve
nue to individual owners, but the na
ture of the crop Is such that owner

sary to insure annual supplies of the
various kinds of timber required for
local consumption. Community owner

and yield good returns on the invest
ment they represent. The Swiss city
of Zurich, for example, derives about
$20,000 per year from a woodlot of
2,500 acres.
Protection and Shelter.
In addition to the actual money re
turns, the trees on the farm have a
value for protection and shelter which
will often justify their preservation
and care. Both live stock and crops
benefit by the protection from hot,
drying winds afforded by a woodlot,
while In winter even a small woodlot
will do much toward Increasing the
comfort of farm life by breaking the
force of cold winds and storms.
of Injury can be greatly reduced by
thorough dusting of the silks with
powdered arsenate of lead.
"The eggs of the corn-ear worm are
laid on the silks. When the eggs hatch
the larvae work down Into the ear and
feed on the silks and kernels. Tha
average number of ears of corn in
jured tby this pest in Kansas during
the six years preceding 1915 ranged
from 85 to 95 per cent. In the year
1915 at the experiment station the
damage was reduced to 63 per cent by
dusting the silks with powdered ar
senate of lead, and on ears that were
injured the damage was so slight as
to be almost negligible. In almost ev
ery case only one or two grains were
injured on each ear, and the usual
molds anil fungi which accompany
corn-ar worm work were not present.
The normal grain damage Is 3 to 5
per cent on field corn and 10 per cent
on sweet corn where the silks are not
dusted, while it is only 1 or 2 per cent
where they are dusted.
"Silks, should be kept dusted from
the time they appear until dry. The
preparation consists of three parts of
powdered arsenate of lead and one
part sulphur. Lime or flour may be
substituted for the sulphur. Five or
six applications should be made.
"Wormy corn is not very salable.
Roasting ears that are guaranteed
worm free sell for 5 cents a dozen
more than other corn products. With
an average yield this would mean a
net profit of $12 per acre for treated
fields.
"The cost of dusting Is prohibitive
where com is raised for grain or for
age, but is profitable where grown for
roasting ears, show purposes, or seed.

WET MASH BEST FOR CHICKS
Only Secret in Growing Fowls Is to
Give Them What They Really Like
and Plenty of It.
There Is nothing a growing chick
likes better than a nice, cool feed of
wet mash. There Is only one secret to
growing chicks and growing them rap
Idly, and that Is to give them the feed
they like and give It to them In such
amounts as to satisfy the appetite and
as often as Is necessary.
For the first 12 weeks of the chick's
life the bird will stand considerable
forcing, after which time the birds will
have developed sufficient size of frame
and strength of body with which to
range and gather most of their own
living.
The following wet mash may well be
fed from the third week to the twelfth,
or for such time as Is necessary to pro
duce a good-sized broiler: Two pounds
of bran, two pounds of oornmeal, two
pounds of middling, one pound of
commercial meat scrap. This mash
should be mixed with either skim milk,
sweet milk or sour milk. The latter Is
preferable.
COVERING FOR SITTING HENS
Combination Nest Box and Runway Is
Easily Constructed Roof Should
Be Three Feet Wide.
Take this nest box and runway com
bination by using five 1 by 12 boards to
make the frame and partitions. Place
these 1 by 12s from 18 to 24 inches
apart, according to he width wanted
for nests and runways. The roof for
the nests should take up about three
feet of space; that Is. In width. The
remainder of the space Is covered with
chicken netting over the runways. The
roof of the boxes Is made as shown In
the diagram, writes Mrs. Maggie L.
Long of Hammond, Okla., In Farm
Progress. The back half of the roof Is
hinged, and this may be left open and
used by laying hens until the time
comes to put them on eggs.
When used for 'sitting hens, the

lifted at the end of the runs. The
hens are not turned out during the
period when the eggs are Incubating.
The eggs will hatch much better and
the whole job Is much less trouble.
This can be moved and cleaned easily,
and the chicks can be kept here for
some time after hatching.
MARKET FOR SURPLUS EGGS
No Better Method Than to Organize
Co-Operative Club Get In Touch
With County Agent.
To secure the best prices for sur
plus eggs or poultry, there Is no better
method than to organize In your
community co-operative egg and
poultry clubs. By getting In touch
with the county demonstration agent
you can secure valuable assistance,
not only In organizing, but after
wards. In finding good markets for
all your products. Make sure that the
club's rules provide for thorough
grading and packing, live up to the
rules and your marketing troubles will
be over.
SIMPLE- HINT TO REMEMBER
One of First Principles of Poultry
Business Is That Hen Cannot Do
! Well on Grain Alone.
It should be remembered that one of.
the principles of poultry feeding Is
that the hen cannot do well If fed on
a whole grain ration. Not only does
a ration of grain fall to furnish the
proper food nutrients, but such a
ration Is difficult for the bird to di
gest properly. The great fault with
the farmer In his poultry feeding is
that he attempts to feed a whole grain
.ration, and generally only one grain
at that. Such a ration results in poor
egg production and also causes diges
tive disorders and liver and kidney
troubles.
PLAN FOR PRESERVING EGGS
V
Cheapest and Most Successful Method
Is Water Glass Place Solution
in Cool Place.
The most successful and cheapest
method of preserving eggs is in water
glass (sodium silicate). One gallon of
sodium silicate, about 50 cents' worth,
will, when added to 15 times as much
water, which has been boiled and
cooled, be enough to preserve K
dozen eggs. The solution should be
prepared and put In the vessels in a
cool place, then the eggs added as
they are gathered. There should be at
least two Inches of solution covering
the eggs.
Watch for Lice.
Lice multiply rap'dly in hot weather
If nothing is done to cheek them. The
dusting will help greatly. Spade up a
gpet In a shady corner and watch the
hens enjoy themselves.
Mot Feed for Big Ones.
Of course the large breeds of fowls
need more feed than the small cues.
MAINTENANCE TAX IS URGED
Governor of North Carolina Would
Keep Highways In Good Order
and Make Improvements
"To spend $100,000 to build highways
and then leave the roads without pro
vision for maintenance. Is folly equal
to that Indulged in by the farmer who
buys $1,000 worth of farm machinery
and then refuses to build a shed under
which to keep It.
Gov. T. W. Bickett of North Carolina
points to the fact that it is not only
necessary for a state to build good
roads, but also to keep them in good

shape and to Improve them from time
to time. In North Carolina, convicts
have been employed on the roads since
1SS1, but the counties have been re
quired to hire them from the state and
pay for them out of the county funds.
The counties have, therefore, been par
simonious in their expenditures on
road improvements. Governor Bickett
suggests that county commissioners
be compelled to levy an annual main
tenance tax, to be spent by the state
highway commission for the upkeep of
.the roads.
The national committee on prison la
bor has repeatedly shown the value of
employing convicts in road-making. In
North Carolina and other agricultural
states, this method of employing the
convict is particularly advantageous
because of the scarcity of labor at this
time.
The war brings the matter of the
.employment of unskilled labor on roads
before the public again. Unskilled la
"bor has become very scarce and ex
pensive ; yet the present crisis de
mands that the roads of the country
be maintained in good shape to insure
rapid transmission of products. The
national committee on prisons and
prison labor has begun a movement
for the mobilization of the convicts of
the country in a national and state
service for the building and upkeep of
good roads.
In this effort the committee will have
the hearty support of the American
Automobile association through Its
good roads board, which includes a
member from each one of the 600 odd
clubs contained in the national body
of car owners.
CUTTING HEDGES ON CORNERS
Obstruction Is Menace to Motorists in
That It Shuts Off View of Ap
proaching Cars.
Along with the better roads that the
farmers are achieving comes the at
tendant better care of hedges, no
ticeable almost everywhere. The
fact that no road can be so good If
it has an untrimmed hedge alongside
It, Is being generally recognized, and
the further fact that a hedge at a cor
ner is a menace to motorists la that It
shuts off the view of approaching cars.
Is leading to the cutting of hedges at
the intersections, and In many places
to their elimination altogether and
their replacement with wire.
NEGLECT MAKES POOR ROADS
Carelessness Requires $2 to Be Spent,
Where $1 Invested Earlier Would
Have Done Work.
Tt is neglect which makes earth
roadj bad, and requires $2 to be spent
where $1 invested earlier would have
done the work. Every township should
arrange for a patrol system of main
tenance, or Its equivalent, under which
someone will give his entire time to
a section of roads and be responsible
for their condition.
