THE WEEKLY REFLEX, KAYSVILLE. UTAH ' , THREE WAYS FOR USING RYE GOOD VEGETABLE SEED Makes Valuable fertilizer on Any , Kind of Land,' But More Especially on Stiff, Clay Soils. (Ry E. J. MILLER.) Rye which is sown in the fall for green feed during cold weather may be peon o m If a ly u ed Jnat least three ways the next spring and the early eon truer- - On It for pasture. Another way la to use It for a summer soiling crop for milk cows ' An acre or two on rich land will duce a lage amount of early green feed, and the crop can be used for nearly three months To use rye as a soiling crop, keep the stock off It In the spring; and -- when It iatall enough take the mower to the patch and cut enough for two days feeding Rake thia and store In the barn and feed out. Then mow enough more for another two days feeding apd continue the same method until the patch 1b afl mown. rye of the first By this tinyt-thmowing will nave grown up enough for a second cutting, and In succession It may be cut several times during the early spring and summer. In thlB way a groat number of cows may be kept on a limited area of pasture. And a third and excellent way to use rye the following spring, after sowing almost to . Is to allow It to "grow up the and entire crop unplow maturity -- three-ways' e-- to-cu- t. e pose allow It to head out and seed come Into the milk stage. It Is a valuable fertilizer ou any kind of land, and especially valuable ou stiff, cly soil, and making the soil friable and easy to work. The mature rye plant decomposes quickly when plowed under, and gives no ill effects from souring. The humus content of the soil Is appreciably increased, and the general good effect on the soil can be noticed on succeeding crops for two or three year.

It is practically Impossible to giro an accurate statement ofthearea in the United 8tates which is annually devoted to raising garden seeds, or even to make a reliable estimate of Even on farms the total acreage. where the chlef money cropjs garden send, only a portion (often but a small portion) of the whole farm is in a seed crop any single year, the remainwith der being occupied ordinary farm crops In order to mtlntaln a profitable crop rotation. The major small portion of American-growseeds, like those of onion and lettuce. Is the product of large farms located In California, though many thousand of pounds of such seeds are grown In One who Is the eastern states. very familiar with seed growing on the Pacific coast estimates that the total acreage of vegetable seed annually planted In California la not far from 10,000 acres. Vine crons, such as . .cncombari melons, and squashes, are grown for the need crop In all parts of the United States, some of which fire grown In the northwestern states and others in Florida, with still others In California; but the great bulk of the supply of vine .seeds comes from Michigan and the central western states Probably a total of 60,000 to 80,00(1 acres of vine crops Is annually planted with the expectation that more or less of the crop will bo marketed aa seed. - Fifty years ago there was little general appreciation, even among experienced gardeners, of the lmportancf of the quality of the seed used (provided it would only grow) as a fan tor in determining the real profit lo growing a crop. It la evident that the present prao tlce of growing and handling seeds li by no means Ideal or such as to glv the greatest possible uniformity ol varietal character. In the case of s majority. pf the vegetable cultures Id America, If all of even 90 per cent ol the plants were as nearly 'alike Id varietal type as the 20 per cent, which were the most alike, the profit fronb these cultures would be greatly in creased; often actually doubled. On the other hand, the growing of vegetable seed under present conditions li not particularly profitable or satisfactory to the farmer. Is there any possibility of betterment? We think so; Seed planters are coming to realise more fully the Importance of the use of better seed and the folly of being so largely Influenced by low prices and a persuasive salesman In buying, while seedsmen and professional growers are learning that wisdom and care reeding-angrowing of the eeda they offer Is quite as Important as shrewdness In buying and skillful handling and selling, and that seeds of the best quality cannot be secured without the active, intelligent of the producing farmer. - -- n Milk from healthy cows is practically free from bacteria when secreted. The problem of a sanitary milk supply, therefore, Is. to keep out all bac-teria as far as possible. Bacteria are introduced into milk mainly by small particles of dirt which either drop Into the milk from the cow or are carried in the air. Repeated tests have shown that even when a cow Is cleaned as thoroughly as is possible under stable conditions, particles of; dust will be thrown off from her body during milking time, and three get Into the milk and contaminate It. Cows should be kept away from sources of .contamination, such as sink holea In which stagnant ' water accumulates, for such holes breed enormous numbers of putrefactive bacteria which are especially dan- - -- STEM - k WHY SOME P0ULTRYMEN FAIL Lack of Thorough Investigation Before Taking Up Industry Has Baan Usual Causo of Failure, While there la a great profit In raising poultry, failure of Bpeclal poultry farms Is frequently reported. Lack of proper investigation before going Into the enterprise has been the usual cause of lack of success. Then, too, perhaps, bad locations, lack of tho necessary amount ' of capital, careless Investment, improper choice of breeds and character of buildings had a great deal to do with the trouble. Some of the essential features In the successful handling of a poultry farm are the development of the young stock, proper feeding, proper marketing, the right kind of labor, etc. Specialisation in poultry Is just FENCES SAVE MUCH PASTURE J.

A NEEDED FOR POULTRY GRAIN Corn May Be Used as Food to Advantage, but It Must Be Supplemented With Sddhething Else. Grain Is tho staple food for poultry, and w;!ll be used for that purpose as on ianns; but long aa fowls re-kept hens cannot give good results on grain alone. It is beneficial to them, says the Fruit Grower; and win te at all times relished- - hut the demand of the hens is such as will call for variety. In the shells of eggs, as well as their composition, are several forms of mineral matter and nitrogen, which can only be partially obtained from grain. Even grains vary in composition, and when fowls are fed on one kind for a long time, they begin to refuse It. as they may be oversupphed with the elements in the food partaken and lacktfie elements that are best supplied 'trom"scmfr Other ' Source. this reason they will accept a change of food, which is of itself an evidence that the best results from hens .can only be obtained by a variety of food. Corn and wheat may be used as food w (th advantage, but it must be given as portion of the ration only, and not made exclusive articles of diet. 'For Water for Ducks.

The trial judge seemed to share .the popular belief. " Gentlemen of the jury, said he. In concluding his charge, If the evidence, In your minds, shows that pneumonia was the cause of the mans death, you cannot convict the pris' oner. Whereat the jury retired and in about ten minutes the constable returned and presented himself before ' the judge. 'Your honor, he remarked, the gentlemen of the jury want some information. " On what point of evidence? asked the judge. None, Judge, was the rejoinder of the constable. They want to 'know how to spell pneumonia. Telegraph. -- Philadelphia Helping the Editor.
