These losses occur because inferior milk or cream Is returned by dealers to the farmers, and e because products bring low prices. - Ice le Available. J Eighty per cent of the countrys milk and cream supply Is produced on dairy farms where ice Is available, the bulletin says. Even where Ice Is not available, milk and cream, by better use of available cooling facilities, may be cooled more effectively than Is often done. The bulletin points out the necessity for prompt cooling of milk and cream and discusses the use of surface coolg ers, tanks, well or spring water, and mechanical refrigeration. Keeping milk cold during shipment and winter care and handling are other subjects discussed. Proper cooling is just as important with cream as with milk, especially as cream Is often delivered less frequently than milk. Proper cooling is easily done with little additional equipment and labor. Copies May Be Obtained. Farmers Bulletin 976-- is a revision of an older publication bearing the same title. It may be obtained from the office of Information, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

At the West Virginia experiment station the poultrymen studied the time factor of laying hens. They found that hens laid in. cycles or clutches. The rate of laying is directly In proportion to the number of eggs laid in a' clutch. When a bird lays for several days In succession the first egg of the cycle or clutch generally is laid relatively early in the forenoon. The remainder of the eggs are laid later and later on succeeding days, the last egg of the cycle being laid relatively late in the afternoon. Then the bird ceases to lay for one or more days, and when a new cycle Is started, again the first egg is laid early in the forenoon, and so on. The length of the interval between the laying of successive eggs is fairly uniform for any particular bird. The data examined apparently justify the following conclusions: The longer the cycle, the shorter are the intervals between the laying of successive eggs. The Interval between the laying of the last two eggs in a cycle is usually greater than any other interval in the - Cycle. ' The intervals between the laying of eggs aC or' about1 the middle of the cycles are shorter than the intervals at either extremity. As the birds become older the intervals between the laying of successive eggs become longer. The shorter average intervals tween the laying of successive eggs are usually associated with the more prolific layers. - Agricultural Notes MM WVMtWIMtW W W Vi M WM W W VMMM WWW Manure for alfalfa land should not contain much straw and should be apstarts. plied before growth f The place in the rotation that gives the best returns for manure Is either on clover- sod, before .corn or.on the land after It is plowed for com. - Sweet clover plowed under often Increases corn yields 20' to 30 bushels per acre over the previous crop when no sweet clover was plowed under. - i No matter how large or small the space, the fruit garden should be planned for a continuous supply of the various kinds throughout the season. a i An early spring application of a quick nitrogenous fertilizer is very orchard.

Roadside trade la carried en with the motorist, so the problem is to attract his eye and attention tn time to permit him to become Interested and stop his car. A sign which is brief, easily read, 'and striking, should be placed 300 to 500 feet away from the stand. , Draws Attention. . The stand itself may also draw the motorist's attention and interest. It should be both attractive and practical, fitting into the landscape, and In design. The stand need Interesting not ' be expensive. A wheelbarrow painted green and filled with sweet corn and tomatoes may attract more Interest than a more elaborate stand. Simple arrangements of fruit and vegetables with regard to color and mass make effective displays. Fair prices and good quality products keep good will for the roadside marketing business, and bring return customers. Roadside stands can afford to charge less than retail prices because of the low selling expense, and by so doing, build a large volume of 1 1 business. Market Convenient. The successful market is convenient for customers. Parking space on both sides of the road and space for cars to turn around is helpful. The most favorable location is on a level stretch of road or at the apex of a slight curve, where the stand can be seen at a distance from both directions. Mrs. Masterman also discussed the advantages of neighborhood In roadside marketing. in prices and advertising often aids all the markets in one district. Price wars have a bad effect on evA eryones business. stand offers many opoprtunities to a group because it saves the time and energy of many people formerly engaged in operating individual stands, and it is an outlet for farms off the road. Thoroughness Essential in Spraying and Dusting Thoroughness means a lot of things thats why so few succeed in spraying and dusting thoroughly. It means having adequate equipment; a thorough application Is Impossible without proper equipment Nothing Is more lisely to result in a poor Job than the use of equipment out of date or needing repairs, that fails to give even distribution and complete coverage. High pressure Is Important, but more Important are even distribution and plenty of spray or dust After all, the amount of pressure depends on the type of ma chine used, and whether a blower, rod, single gun or double gun Is used. Lack of thoroughness means failure to reach the top of every tree; failure to cover every branch; failure to get the spray material In the form of a fine mist that will go dear through the tree from one side to the other; failure to get the dust in fine particles even distributed throughout the tree. Thoroughness does not necessarily mean having two men, or three men, to &n outfit. One man may do as thorough a job as two. Another thing, too, often not counted in as a part of the spraying and dusting program, Is the matter of sanitation In the orchard. The neglect of clean-upractices, such as burning trash and rubbish along fence rows, explains why a spraying program, otherwise o. k fails to control pests. Destruction of cull fruits and burning of prunings lend a strong arm ln the fight against insects and diseases. . p good color. ' , .Use the hoe or the cultivator npre and there will be less need for sprinkling the garden, Is the advice of C. H. Connors, floriculturist at the college of agriculture, Rutgers univer, ' sity. The objects of hoeing or similar cultivation are, be explains: to destroy weeds before 'they are. up; to break the surface crust and loosen the soil so that air can enter and assist the bacteria and fungi fo convert mineral and organic matter into' plant nutrients ; to permit the entrance of air to the soil for the direct benefit of the roots f to keep the soil loose so. (hat excess water s away; and to form a dust mulch which reduces of water from the soil by evaporation. It Is best when possible, to grow plants without the addition of water, in the opinion of Mr. Connors. This can- be done,, except in periods of prolonged drought by frequent cultivation, he asserts. The garden, according to the floriculturist should be cultivated once every week or ten days.

Two hundred lambs were divided into two lots and turned into a field of corn which also had a light stand of matured soy beans. One lot was given no extra feed, while the second lot received a pound of soy bean hay per lamb per day. The second lot gained a little over nine pounds in 40 days, while the first lot gained only a little over three pounds per lamb In 40 days. In other words, lot returned approximately six pounds of gain for the extra 40 pounds of soy bean hay, which is of course an especially good return for hay. In addition to this, the lambs were decidedly thrifty, while those in the first . lot were not at all growthy. 1RJFK The Complete Skin " CULTIVATE OFTEN TO REDUCE WATER LOSS FROM THE SOIL Permits Air to Enter for the Direct Benefit of Roots.

Potter of fhe New Hampshire station considers straight nitrogen the most valuable fertilizer for apple orchards, at least for the first 100 years. A crop of 160 bushels to the acre, he says, takes away from the soil 3.2 pounds of phosphorus, while an acre of soil to the depth of four feet contains 21,000 pounds of this material. Potash, on on the other hand, is nsed ten to twelve times as fast as phosphorus, but the available; supply in the average soil is two to ten times as great. Basing his conclusions on experiments In progress for 20 years. Professor Potter recommended the use of only nitrogen carrying fertilizers for orchards. Complete fertilizers may have some value, he thinks. In stimulating the growth of grass In an orchard for mulching purposes, but experiments In New Hampshire Indicate that such a method, of producing a . mulch Is relatively expensive. The only fertilizer treatments In the test plots which obviously benefited the trees were applications of nitrogen carrying fertilizer?, .The foliage of the trees not given nitrpgen was yellow, the bark had past, blossoms failed to set fruit satisfactorily, fruit production wag ,?oof, and the apples were small, although of W There a Reason She Im going to the beauty lor dear; let me have $10.
