BEST AS LEGUMINOUS CROP It Has Greatest Value In Southern StateSt Gradually Lessening North, ward Seeds Are Commonly Used for Human Food. Willie cowpeas do best on sandy louius, they succeed on practically nil types of well-drained soil, According to specialists of the bureau of plant In dustry of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. No other legume can be grown so successfully and on such a variety of soils under adverse conditions as the cowpeas, A very rich soil Is not conducive to the best results with the crop. Good corn land Is considered particularly favorable. Warm Weather Crop. The cowpea Is u warm weather crop. It has the greatest vulue In the southern states, gradually lessenlii' northward. It Is grown, however, In the southern parts of Ohio, Illinois, Indlnnn, nnd New Jersey, and In parts of Michigan. In general, the cowpen Is adapted to about the same climatic conditions as corn. It requires some what more heatr however. It will stand a considerable degree of drought, but under very dry conditions will produce only a moderate quantity "of bay and a very small number of seeds, If any. In the southern states the cowpea Is the best known and most extensively grown leguminous crop. It Is grown mainly for forage and to Improve the soli. The seeds, In addition, nre rath er commonly used for human food. As a catch crop and for liny or seed pro duction cowpeas nre especially valu able In nlinost any system of rotation. In many seqtlonp of Missouri,- Arkan sas and Tennessee a rotation of wheat or oats and cowpeas has given good results. On farms where live stock Is kept the following rotation Is very pnpillnr" F"'- I'OIll- witfnn r rnf.ni Gov. pea Huiu in u.uuuiii. yenr, corn, with cowpeas nt the Inst cultivation ; third year, winter oats or wheat, with n catch crop of cowpens for hay or seed after the grain has been removed. Worked In Rotation. In sections devoted to growing to bacco a sefen-yenr rotation of tobacco, wheat, two years of grass, corn with crimson clover ns a cover crop, cow .peas, and red clover, lias been recom mended by a state experimental sta tion. A good rotation In the corn belt on land where corn nnd whentjir oats are regularly grown consists of corn, soy beans, wheat, nnd clover, with cowpens for liny when clover falls. Cowpens are to be recommended also as n crop to precede alfalfn. Fanners' Bulletin 1148, Cowpens: Culture nnd Varieties, now Issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, contains much valunblo Information on tho growing of cow pens. Copies may be had upon request of the depnrtment nt Wnshlngton, D. C. GROWERS OF SORGHUM SEED List Published by Kansas Agricultural Station of Great Advantage to Farmers. A list of growers of pure sorghum seed bus been Issued this yenr by the Knnsns Slnte Agricultural Kxperlmont- stntlon nt Mnnhnttnn. supplementing similar lists which hnve been published In the past on whent, corn nnd other principal cereal crops. The list Is mnde from field Inspection nnd ennbles farmers to tell the exact grado of sorghum or percentnge of mixture with other varieties which Is to be obtnlned from any grower. This service has been of great advantage to the farmers of the stnte. TREATMENT FOR BULLS' FEET Many Useless Cripples Could Be Avoided by Giving Some Atten tion to Underpinning. Unfortunately ninny good bulls be come useless cripples through neglect of their feet. Few things nre more painful than to see a good bull limp ing along on his heels, with long, up turned hoofs. No nmount of attention enn restore the sprightly step and erect rnrrlnge that are characteristic of n vigorous bull, when once his feet hnvo been seriously neglected. Preven tion Is nlwnys better than to venture the risks of a cure. DISEASE-FREE SEED CORN TESTS BETTER Important Results Obtained by Plant Specialists. Planted Thickly In Hill or Drill Row, Plant Is More Susceptible to Ali ments Than When Abundance of Space Was Given It. Seed. corn that gave 100 per cent germination but showed Infection by harmful organisms was matched against corn that showed no Infection In n series of tests carried out by plant specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture In co-op-erotlon with the Indiana experiment stntlon. The disease-free seed gave un Increased yield of 10 to 30 per cent above Its competitor. Further results of the test seemed to prove that when corn was planted too thickly In hill or drill row It was more susceptible to disease than when better space 'was given It. In a slm lrr 'rip- ,,-(.i.,f,r1 t) ), ,p, Prize Sample of Seed Corn. ease-free seed gave an Increase of 23 per cent over the other corn, which was selected for high germination only. At Hoopeston, III., the differ ence, measured In tons, ranged from 0.01 to 1.5 tons In favor of the seed selected both for high germination and freedom from disease. The selection was based on the nb sence of discoloration In the kernels nnd cobs as Indicating soundness. Dis ease Is Indicated by brown discolora tion nt the butts of the ears and at the kernel tips Mind by decay In the cobs. CONDIMENTS ARE INJURIOUS Effects on Egg. Producing Organs Are Temporary and undermine Health of Fowls. The use of condiments nnd tonics 's to be deprecated rather thnp en--ouroged, though there are times" with ailing fowls when a tonic will tono ip the system. Condiments undoubt edly stlmulntQ the egg-producing or gans, but It Is a temporary effect nnd 'he reaction which sets In not only Is legntlve but tends to undermine the Physical health of the bird. It Is well to remember thnt In the egg-laying contests tonics nnd condiments hnve no place In the" feeding rations, nnd thnt for the most phrt high records nre attained without their use. So called stimulants find their widest uso by the novice In poultry farming; the experienced breeder generally lets them alone. HEMP RAISED IN WISCONSIN Badger State Cultivates 7,000 Acres, Half of Total Produced In United States. Kentucky once led In hemp produc, tion, but has turned to more profltnble crops and relinquished the lend to Wis consin, nccording to the United Stntea Depnrtment of Agriculture. The Bad ger stnte cultlvnted 7,000 acres, hnlf the country's total this year, followed by Minnesota; Michigan. Ohl6 and Cal ifornia, with Kentucky sixth. BIG SHRINKAGE IN POTATOES Average Is Three Per Cent or 1,200 Pounds Per Carload When Shipped in' Bulk. "Shrlnknge" In bulk carloads of po tatoes averages three per cent, ac cording to n survey of marketing con ditions made by the United States De pnrtment of Agriculture. This amounts to 1,200 pounds per enriond. The "shrlnknge" Is less where potatoes nre sncked, as this reduces pilfering nnd rough handling to the minimum. QUALITY OF WINTER WHEAT Crop of 1920 Somewhat Above Aver, age, It Is Estimated by Grain Handlers in Reports. M Somewhat above the nverage In quality, the winter whent crop of tho United States harvested In 1020, It Is estimated by grain handlers In reports to the bureau of crop estimates, grades approximately 80 per cent as No. 1, 42 per cent ns No.- 2, 18 per cent ns No. 8 nnd 10 per cent below No. 3. HEMP USED IN SHOE TRADE Without Russian Supply There Would Not Be Sufficient Supply De manded by Trade. American hemp Is now used exten sively with flax In shoe thread, tho United Stntes Depnrtment of Agricul ture finds. Without the Itussla sup ply, 11 ax Is not available in sufficient auantltes to supply the demand. DAIRY FACTS BEST TIME TO SELECT CALF Make Selection of Young Animal While It Is With Its Mother and Before Weaned. The best time to select n calf la nt a few months of age, when It may bo wen wllh Its mother, or, nt any rate, before It Is weaned. Observe tho calf's mot her. If she is n wide, dccp-bodled cow with plenty of slzo and Is giving a liberal supply of milk, you may be rensonnbly sure that the calf, If sired Select the Calf If Possible When It May Be Seen With, Its Mother. by a good hull and properly cared for, will grow Into n useful bi ceding an imal. Another ndvnntnge of selecting the calf at this tlmo Is thnt It may bo necessary to select It nt weaning tlmo or oven nfter It Is weaned, but the best time, ns stated, Is beforo weaning. Calves are frequently classified at fairs and cnlf shows ns "nonlor" nnd "Junior" calves, depending upon tho time of yenr they were dropped. A cnlf, for instance, thnt was droppod between September 1 and December 31 the yenr previous to the show, would be clnssed ns "senior" cnlf, and one dropped between January 1 and August ill previous to the show, n "Junior" cnlf. As a rule, a fall or se nior calf,, on nccount of Its age nt the u.wul time of holding the show, Is to be preferred, although there are ad vantages In selecting a spring or Ju nior cnlf, especially one dropped In Jnnunry or not later than February. This, however, depends upon the niles of the contest nt which the calf Is to be shown and upon the facilities nt bnnd for feeding nnd caring for It. MILK FROM UNTESTED COWS Orphan Asylum at New Haven, Conn., Provided With Product of Tuber cular Animals. A glaring Instance of the dangers of marketing milk from untested tubercu lous cows wns recently reported to the United States Department of Agricul ture by one of Its field men engaged In tuberculosis-eradication work. At tho request of the meat Inspec tor of New Haven, Conn., the federal expert examined the carcass of a cow recently killed nt n locnl slaughter house. The anlmnl showed extensive lesions of tuberculosis In the lungs, liver, nnd other pnrts of the body. In vestlgntlon revealed that tho cow had been sent to the city by n dnlrymnn who wns delivering the milk from his herd to un orphan asylum of the city, nnd nlso thnt the milk was not pas teurized. Upon further Investigation, In which the state authorities nt Hnrtford co operated, a test of tho entire herd wns made. Of a totnl of 25 cnttle, 23 re nctcd to the tuberculin test. PROVIDE COMFORT FOR COWS One of Essential Things to Think About In Construction of Build ing for Animals. Comfort is one of the things to think nbout nnd provide for In the building of a dairy barn. Stanchions nre sntls fnctory, especially the typo thnt swings free nnd nllows n measure of side movement. The length of the stnll Is not often enough reckoned with. Give tho cows plenty of room to stnnd nt ense with their hind feet two or threo Inches forwnrd of the gutter. If tho cows vary In size, run the gutter at a slight angle, so that the wlalls at one epd tiro somewhat shorter than they nre nt tho other end of the bnni. This allows the placing of the cows accord ing to size In such a wny that the stnlls can bo kept clenn without trouble. KIND TREATMENT IS NEEDED Docile Creature Is Willing to Make Friends With Keeper Will Re. sent Rough Handling. Kindness should not bo forgotten, for the cow Is n docile creature willing to be friends with her keeper when she finds out that he Is her frjend and no reason to fight. The more Intelli gent nnd sensitive the nnlmnl Is, the more likely It Is to resent unjust treat ment. SUBSTITUTE USED FOR MILK Success With Calf Meal Is Governed Largely by Experience of Feeder and Vigor of Calf. Tho use of cnlf menl as an entire sub stitute for milk Is frequently observed. Success in Its use In this way Is gov erned largely by the experience of the feeder, constitutional vigor of the calf nnd quality and method of preparing the calf meal. .Kill That r AcrinA FOR Celds, CBght Neglected Cold3 oro Dangerous Take no chances, Keep this standard remedy handy for the flret anecim.
