She cites as an example a study in Michigan in which many of the better markets reported increases of 10 to 15 per cent in volume of sales in the second year of business. roadside markets also are reported as being successful in some localities.

The fertilizer does most good if it gets into the tissue of the tree early in the spring when it may influence the size of the leaves, the set of fruit, the length of shoot growth, and the de-- ' velopment of fruit, says Irof. A. J. Heinicke of the New York state college of .agriculture. While tiie tree tnay absorb nitrogen even after the leaves and fruit has been formed, it is not always best to have too much available late ih the growing season. The new growth In a mature apple tree requires about one and oi pounds of actual nitrogen in a year. of this is contained About in the fruit crop, and the rest is used in the Mves and shoot growth. Much of the nitrogen in the leaves is recovered and used again the following year. The quantity of reserve nitrogen in the tree and soil varies from year to year, and the plant must defend more on fertilizer one year than another. lf one-thir- d Check Machinery Before ' Opening of Seasons Work With the severe conditions under which chains operate on most farm machinery they should he carefully checked before the opening of a new 'seasons work. .

The conditions required are very different from those of ducks. Geese are usually raised in comparatively small flocks. The fact that geese require very much more room than ducks has kept the business in the hands of farmers who go into it In a moderate way. There are many farms which have fields not suitable for poultry or cultivation, on account of springs or streams, but which make good pasture for geese, and, if such fields are used for geeseC they can be made to return a good profit.

The farm poultry keeper has every advantage over the commercial egg farmer because he gets his feed at the lowest prices by raising it himself. He can care for his hens at the lowest cost for time. On many farms the labor of caring for flocks of from 150 to 500 hens need not be counted at all as feeding them is Incidental to the regular feeding that must be done on every farm.

Milk is the food on which growing children are reared and from which they' should receive the strength and vigor necessary to make them strong useful citizens. Adults, too, especlallly invalids and those weakened by Improper nourishment, need milk in the diet r to reand build up strong new pair waste tissue. ' Recent investigations in nutrition have shown that milk contains certain other' substances which are essential for the proper growth of the ' human body. Milk production also carries responsibilities. When carelessly produced and Improperly handled, milk may be the means of spreading disease.

The calf is left with the mother for the first four or five days. It is then removed to a Holstein nurse cow, a low tester, that can start three calves nicely at one time. If the nurse cow is producing more milk than the calves should have, the cow is partly milked before the calves are allowed to her. When the calf is three or four, weeks old a mixture of equal parts of coarse-,- , ly ground corn, rolled oats, bran and half part of powdered skim milk is put lu a hopper in the calf pen r good alfalfa hay and water are kept before them from now on. At ten weeks the calf is eating regularly of other feeds and can be taken off the cow. The amount of powdere milk in the meal is doubled and fed twice', a day, all the calves will clean up until the calf is six months old. .

Raising the quality of the nations supply of dairy products particular market milk and cream, until the point is reached where all the people, whether they live in city or town or on the farm, will be universally provided with an abundance of dairy foods of high wholesomeness and quality, is one of the most important concerns of the dairy industry of the United States, says O. E. lteed, chief of the bureau of dairy industry, in his annual report to Secretary Hyde ot the United States Department of Agriculture. Reporting upon the bureaus milk project, Mr. Reed says that this is considered one of the most Important features of the work of the bureau and the regional dairy extension specialists. Considerable progress in quality improvement has already been made in several states. This is the result of the efforts of the bureau and the extension services of the state coHeges of agriculture, the report says. To reach the goal of general high quality is largely a matter of getting before the dairy farmer and others of the iudustry the facts regarding the practice which have been found to give the best results, says the report To stimulate the development of a comprehensive plan for improving the quality of milk, a great deal of work lias been done, not only in planning programs but in making them effective In some of the states. The Importance of interesting the clubs of the boys and girls of the in the for program country improving the average quality of the milk produced on American farms, has been recognized by the bureau and the extension service in the activities, says Mr. Reed. He says that suggested programs for quality improvement have been drawn up for the use not only of the adults who are the dairy farmers of today, but also for the club boys and girls who will be the dairy farmers of tomorrow. work is The now in progress in many places, with the bureau, tiie state extension services, state and city departments of health, and other agencies, all Some dairy communities have a,ade marked Improvement in the quality of the dairy products, which they produce and market,, says , Mr. quality-improveme- 0 Marshy Land With Vigorous ' of $3,107,000, in construction of highway No, 50, between Spanish Fork And the Colorado state line.
