INFORMATION ABOUT AGRICUL

RELIABLE SOURCES
During last year, 1921, tho engin
eering department of tho Agricultural
collego furnished over 900 setB of
stock bluo prints to Nebraska farm
era at cost of paper and postage.
During tho two months ot January
and February, this year, 349 sets of
blao prints were required to supply
the demand. Among these wero .16
sets of hog house plans, 124 sets of
poultry house plans, and 1S.9 mis
cellaneous sets.

straw mulch
serves to hold tho moisture and to
chock wood growth. Tho seed is
planted Just as though tho patch wore
cultivated but not over two to throe
inches deop. When the potatoes havo
foogun to Bprout through tho ground,
tho wholo patch 1b covered with
from five to six inches of straw,
preferably wheat straw. If the ground
happens to bo crusted aver prevloua
to the sprouting of tho potatoes, It is
advisable to break this crust by cul
tivating with a spike tooth harrow.
It Is best not to try tho straw mulch
around In this straw and thereby
break off the young sprouts, more'
over, they are about as fond of the
now potatoes as human beings.
Many requests aro reaching the Ne
braska Agricultural collego for spring
wheat seed. In some sections of tho
state duo to the doubtful condition of
some winter wheat fields, farmers are
thinking of seeding spring wheat
Probably tho best varatles ot spring
wheat in Nebraska are tho Marquis
and cotch Fife. Thero is no great
amount of spring wheat seed in this
state. A few counties have a small
amount which will largely bo seeded
locally. South Dakota and Minnesota
have Marquis wheat In car lots. Whero
it Is necessary to ship in spring wheat
long distances it is doubtful if this
will pay. The average yield of spring
wheat In the state is about ten bush
els. In many sections it Is very prob
able that barley will make a better
crop than snring wheat. The begt va
rieties of barley are of the bearded
six rowed typo. Tho Common, Man
churian, Oderbrucker, and Oddcssa aro
the four best known varieties.
Eastern Nebraska seasons are
usually unfavorable for good yields
of high quality potatoes. The high
tanrpertaturo and dry (weather that
visit this part of the state in June.
July and August cut tho yield and
make tho potatoes unfit for seed for
tha following year says tho Agrlcul
tural colleco. Thoro who have
grown potatoes under straw mulch,
find that they get good yields even in
extremely dry years, that tho quality
is greatly improved and finally that
they can uso theso potatoes for seed
th following year without danger ot
decreasing the yield. The reason for
this Is that under a straw mulch the
necessary for success will havo no
difficulty in finding woll developed

Somo persons lament because thero

farmers using scrub bulls havo not

with agencies which have set forth
tho superior value of the in re bred
bull over tho scrub. It is ou opinion
however, that these farmers are fow
in number as compared with those
who uso scrub bulls but have had
the opportunity to learn tho value of
tho puro bred. One main reason why
so many scrub bulls are kept Is due
to tho lack of deslro of theso farmers
to own pure bred bulls. Their dairy
methods and their conception of the
dairy business ha3 not given tb'em
tho vision or the understanding to
appreciate the value of Improved

It was a great shock to the Yau Nor
dons when Henry Bowes, Mrs. Von
Norden's father, announced by letter
that he had sold his farm and was
coming to live with them iu their
house on Fifth avenue.
"Pshaw, Molly, we can stow tho old
gentleman away somewhere," said
John Van Nordeu. "I guess he's pretty
lonely up there In Cohocs," ho added.
"I shouldn't like to havo to live all by
myself at eighty."
"But he'll teach Philip such dread
ful manners," protested Molly.
"Well, what are wo going to do,
dear?" nsked her husband.
"I suppose we'll have to take him,"
said Molly. "But 1 shall make it per
fectly clear to him, tho moment he ar
rives, thut he Is not going to display
himself before our friends and make
us ridiculous, nfter nil the trouble
we've taken to get into tho right set."
This was duly explained to Henry
Bowes "Hank" Bowes among his
cronies ut the local store. The old
man put his not too clean hnnd on his
daughter's shoulder nnd looked kindly
at her.
"My dear," he said, "I nln't going to
disgrace you, don't fear It. It's you I
want you and John and Philip. I'm
going to make myself scarce when
there's swell company around."
He hnd Included Philip In his sum
mary, but Molly Vim Norden was de
termined that he should have no op
portunity of corrupting tho boy's man
ners. Nevertheless, with that curious
attachment which frequently exists
between those of the extreme ages of
life, Philip and the old man sought
ench other's company continually.
Philip learned to whittle whistles out
of twigs, to blow out the leaves of a
certain plant Into "frogs," and sur
reptitiously acquired candy would fall
out of the boy's pockets when ho was
undressed at night. And the more
Molly tried to ketp him away the
more he sought his grandfather's com
pany. After six months or so Molly came
to n determination.
"John," she said. "Philip Is learning
the most disgusting table manners
from father. He makes a noise with
his soup and bites his bread Instead of
breaking It and well, John, father Is
not going to sit at table with us any
more."
So thenceforward grandfather ate
his meals In the next room In solitude.

"John," Molly announced one day, "I
have decided to send father to an In
stitution." "My dear!" said her husband In re
monstrance. "Oh, I knew you would offer objec
tions, John. But I don't mean the
poorhouse. I mean a homo whero In
firm old people are taken In and well
cared for. Don't you see how childish
he Is becoming?"
"How about Philip? Don't you sup
pose that they will miss each other?"
"I hope they wliy his wife retorted.
"I mean them to, John. He Is no fit
companion for a child."
Happily, neither the" old man nor
the boy knew what preparations wero
afoot. Henry Bowes remained as
much of a nuisance as before. It was
nf 111 fVio rtn-v hofnrn his flonnrtlirn
jjjt' that the child learned from the serv
ants that "grandfather was going
away."
At that Instant tho first Inkling of
life's trugody entered tho little brain.
He crept away, into tho walled garden
at the back of tho house. Soon he was
busy again. His mother and father
found him there later. He hod con
structed n sort of plckot fence from
somo stakes left in tho tool shed by
tho gardener. Inside this was a pack
ing case.
"What's this, old chap?" asked John.
"That's a table," answered tho boy.
"Table? What do you want a table
for?" Inquired his mother.
"That's for father, when he's old,
so that he won't let me see the way
ho cats," said Philip.
"An' this Is a cage like the one
grandpa's to have," he continued,
pointing to the row pf sticks, "That's
bo's he won't make a darned nuisance
of himself when I has comp'y."
Molly Van Norden looked at her
husband speechlessly. Then she
turned away and rn into the house.
John found her on the lounge a few
minutes later, sobbing hysterically.
"John, did you understand?" she
moaned. "What does It mean?"
"I guess it means your father's go
ing to take his place In the family
from today," answered John Van Nor
den, kissing her. "Don't you think to,
my dear?"
Molly nodded.
