May Be Eliminated With Due Care. Must farmers are careless aboat keeping their disk burrows sharp enough to do good work. Unless the disks have sharp knife-lik- e edges, thej cannot cut cornstalks or grass roots properly nor penetrate the ground to do good work. The newer types of special steel and extra bard disks bold a good cutting edge much longer than those formerly used, but even these should be gone over every spring to keep them In first-clas- s condition. Instead of taking their disks apart and taking them to the blacksmith to be sharpened, many farmers now sharpen them at home. One way is to sharpen them in the field by resting a lever over the disk shaft or axle and with the lever hold a hardened steel cutting edge or a rough grinding stone against the disk edge nntil It is sharp. Another method is to clamp the disk on a heavy frame, fix a binder or other large wheel on a shaft with a socket to fit over the end of the disk shaft, turn this with a belt from a small pulley on a gas engine and then sharpen the disks by holding the catting steel or grinding stone against the disk edges. Oklahoma Fanner-Stockma- Plan Further Work to Stamp Out Tuberculosis The federal appropriation for the work of bovine tuberculosis eradication In the past year was $6,190,000, of which $1,190,000 was allotted for operating expenses and $5,000,000 for paying Indemnity to owners of cattle slaughtered as a result of this test. The combined state and county appropriations amounted to more than The plans for the work now Include the eradication of tuberculosis un der the accredited herd plan, (2) eradication under the area plan.

It. Dodd, extension specialist In soils and crops at the Ohio State university. One factor that costs nothing and usuully figures very largely In low cost production, he points out, is farm manure. Crop yields of 50 bushels of corn, 25 bushels of wheat, and two tons of hay per acre, obtained from a rotation of corn, wheat, and hay, If fed on the farm or used as bedding, will produce suflicient manure, If saved, to make an eight-toapplication each year on of the crop land. Some long-tim- e Ohio experiments show such manure to have a production value of 25 bushels of corn, ten bushels ct wheat, and 1,300 pounds of It application. hay for each eight-toIs very common experience to find that only one half of the manure produced Is available at the time it is to be ap plied to the land. Unnecessary ma nure losses ranging from a few tons to 50 or 100 tons per farm are to be found In every section. Figured In terms of crops this means from 25 to 300 extra bushels of corn, from ten to 125 bushels of wheat, and from 1.300 pounds to eight tons extra hay from the same acres without additional cash outlay. The practice of manure with supersupplementing phosphate alone on additional acres has like possibilities. When used In this manner, 320 pounds of 16 per cent superphosphate has produced on the average over a period of over 30 years, ten bushels of corn, six bushels of wheat, nnd 800 pounds of hay. If corn and wheat be figured at 25 cents per bushel and hay at $5 per ton, the increased crop yields are sufficient to pay for the superphosphate and leave 100 per cent gain on the investment.. n one-thir- d n Right Kind of Roughage Must Be Given Heifers culture. When Buying Cattle 45 Low With respect to the kind of cattle to buy Professor Gramlich, writing in the Nebraska Farmer, has this to say : In recent years the lighter weight good quality feeders have usually proved to be the more profitable, although under present conditions it may be possible for some feeders to realize a profit on the heavier kind. Some feeders furthermore are finding the lower grades of cattle selling at prices which may be attractive and In the end return a profit. The marketing of grain through live stock is very advisable at present, says Gramlich. Under current Professor circumstances grain should bring 10 to 20 per cent more when fed to live stock than when marketed as grain The nature of our feeding Inquiries indicates that many dairy farmers are without legume hay this winter. Such e dry roughages as corn fodder and stover, millet hay, sudan grass hay, and the grain sorghums are frequently listed in Inquiries. In most cases the Inquirers ask for rations for the milking herd. At this time we want to put in a good word for the yearling and heifers on dairy farms. We have some evidence to Indicate that animals of this age will make fairly satisfactory growth on roughage alone provided It is the right kind of roughage, such as silage and good legume hay. If dairy farmers undertake to carry heifers through on roughage without gain they will not cet satisfactory results. roughage should be supplemented with three to four pounds per head daily of a grain mixture containing about 16 per cent crude digestible protein. Hoard's Dairyman. two-year-o- ld e Soil for Growing Plants good soil to use as a base for growing early plants Is sandy loam Lighter soils can be improved by adding sand and organic matter. In gen eral, a good soil for growing plant can be made by mixing equal parts of fine loam, rotted manure, and sand -- This .should be thoroughly mixed. Another method is to make a compost pile of successive layers of manure and dirt, turning It nt least twice and keeping It moist so that decay will be fairly rapid. This, of course, has to be done some time before the plants are to be grown. American A Windbreak's Value Windbreaks will attract insectlver-ou- s birds to nest there.
