Show DAIRYING DURING FLY TIME AFTER-CAR- Two Most Needed Things Are Sprayer and Repellent Cool Blanket Is Also Beneficial- (By After a strawberry crop ia gathered the plants will require special cultural attention if they are to remain for the production of berries the succeeding year, caya Michigan Farmer. The limited cultivation possible while the crop Is developing la the spring is not sufficient to keep down weeds, so that under ordinary conditions these are present in a liberal number and generous size and demand removal by the time one can get to them after the harvest. Old plants that have spent their energy will only obstruct the chances of the patch for another season. These need not be cut out with weeds. The eull, stirred but little and packed hard by the repeated tramping! of the pickers, is in a poor state to begin the growth of new plants and ripen another crop of berries. Deep and frequent cultivation la the only way to put soil In condition, and if it lacks in the elements of fertility there should be added and worked into the soil a quantity of manure or commercial fertilizers 11 the former is lacking, or both, to replenish the plant food taken out by the last crop.

The IN DAIRY FEEDING Bulletin of Pennsylvania Experiment Station Discusses Matter In Most Thorough Manner. To those of our readers who make a careful study of dairy feeding, bullen tin 114 of the Pennsylvania will be very Interesting. The principles In dairy feeding are gone Into both In a theoretical and practical manner. In a rough way the following rules are laid down as good: 1. Feed grain In proportion to milk yields; that is, give her, for example, one pound of grain mixture per day for teach three or four pounds of milk produced. 2. Feed all the roughage which the cow will eat up clean, up to the point where she gains too much weight 3. Whenever she becomes too fat reduce the amount of roughage, leaving the amount of grain to be determined by the milk yield. Food requirements for cows of different weights and cows producing different amounts of milk are given In tables. Most of our readers will And the methods as described in the bulletin' extremely unscientific, but they have studied it a little they will find It quite simple and, we believe, quite practical. Of all the experiment stations the Pennsylvania has done the most scientific work stock.

U. I Professional Cards The difficulty that every farmer experiences In ordinary row irrigation Is to so control hts supply that the water flows down each row at the same rate and with sufficient velocity so that when the water reaches the lower end of the row the upper end has had time to be sufficiently moistened for the water to reach the roots of the plants. In order to accomplish this, every field should have a ditch running along Its highest part, properly laid out. This will be best by making openings through tbs side of this ditch through which the water rune into the rows, level; that la to say, fixing them so that when a dam is put in, which brings the water over the bank and forces it through the openings, the water will run through each opening with the same velocity and therefore have the same head. It will, therefore, he a paying proitosition to make these openings permanent. A box made of lumber or concrete with openings in tbe side, each section set level, with a drop at the end of each section so that by placing the dam at the end of the ecctton the same quantity of water is discharged through each opening and fluds its way to each row and Is sent down each with the same velocity and the sine quantity of water Is supplied to each row. This quantity can be regulated by Increaalng or decreasing the head on each opening, and with this arrangement it will be found that labor, time and water will be saved. Another thing, after an irrigation It means of tbe row method, many farmers have found it advisable and profitable to harrow across the rows. This fills (lie ditches and the ground that is saturated with tame earth, which forms a "dust mulch" and thereby preveuts excessive evaporation from the rows, while if this is not done the bottom and sides of tho ditches take on n crust, the partirlcs become packed together and excessive evaporation takes place. For the next Irrigation It will be necessary to again mu the cultivator through the rows in order to form the ditches for another application of water, and by the time this second irrigation occurs the' plants will be bo far advanced that It will be Impossible to harrow a second time, but the first harrowing can be done with very little damage to the crop, in fact It la a benefit to the crop even though some of the plants are destroyed. i Common Error la to Chooee Soil That la Too Rich for Apples Wood Is Not Wanted. r.f-t- .without y By E.
