Thrifty farmers have long recognized the value of storing their farm machinery after its season of use ,is over in a shelter that protects it from damaging effects of the weather. Do not try to crowd machinery into a small space in the barn. Farmers who have tried to do this usually become discouraged over the extra labor of taking down the machines and outside storage is the result. A simple structure of ample size which will keep out the sun, wind, rain and snow is all that is needec to house the farm machinery. Framing that is well braced and a good foundation are essential. Roofing and siding may be corDoors rugated galvanized iron. must swing or slide freely and be tight enough to exclude birds anc animals. If high and dry, an earth floor treated with oil is not objec tionable. The dost of upkeep for a piece of machinery is also greatly reducec when such tasks as cleaning, listing needed replacement parts on a tag tied to the machine, and repainting or varnishing to save the finish and prevent rust are done at the time of storing or in the winter. Vetch Aid to Orchards; Needs to Be Inoculated Winter vetch is one of the states best cover crops for orchards under bearing age, says W. R. Martin, Jr., of the Missouri College of Agriculture. It is not satisfactory in older orchards because the shade of the trees prevents any large production of a cover crop. The most satisfactory seeding date is soon after the late rains begin. Normally, the seedbed should be prepared well ahead of seeding time. Best results are obtained if the seedbed is , firm and free of weeds. The vetch being a legume needs to be thoroughly inoculated before seeding. The use of soil in which winter vetch has been successfully grown is a satisfactory way of supplying this inoculation. When this is not possible, pure cultures of the proper hacteria can be obtained. The crop will reach its maximum growth in early May. At that time its greatest value as a green manure crop can be secured by disking or plowing it under. By such a practice it is not unusual to secure a yield of organic matter equivalent to 15 or 20 tons of barnyard manure per acre. This will be in addition to the nitrogen added to the soil by the legume. Facts on Milk Flavors Although there are many factors which may affect the flavor of milk by the time it reaches the doorstep of the consumer, there are only two in principal causes of milk at the time it is drawn from rs the udder. Perhaps the most common of these flavors is due to the feed eaten by the cow. Chief among the offenders in this group are weeds such- as wild onions, ragweed, and bitter weed. Certain green forage and root crops such as rye and green alfalfa cause pronounced in milk unless the grazing periods are properly spaced. Other green feeds affecting milk flavor are cowpeas, beef tops, rape, cabbage, turnips and kale, states an authority at the University of Kentucky. - off-flavo- rs Grinding Kafir Grinding is a profitable practice in preparing some feeds for consumption by hogs, but it apparently is not economical in the case of C.

Moreover, there was practically no difference in the daily gains of pigs self fed on whole kafir and those self fed on ground kafir.
