IP MAKING
FARM
PERSONS operating laud for profit
need to study such questions
as these:
What commodities are easiest j
to produce and sell in nearby markets? |
To what line of production is the soil i
best adapted?
Suppose there are good cash markets
close at hand, which crops or products
pay the best?
What line of produce will distribute
the labor most evenly through the year?
A practical arrangement is to keep
one hired man for every dozen dairy
cows and to have such a diversity of
work summer and winter as will keep

good poultry plant balances the pro |
gram nicely. Twenty-four cows are
none too many for a place of fifty to
eighty acres. It is not the best kind of
farming to allow cattle to roam at will
in a large pasture. It is more profitable
to give them merely a few acres of
range thnt may afford pasture through
May and June and dei>end on the culti
vated land to raise most of their fod J

As a rule pastures become dry in !
midsummer and the supply of milk can
not be kept up without silage, hay or
soiling crops. By the 1st of July a
farmer should bare vetch^ alfalfa or a .
combination like oata and yeas. An excellent
kind of summer feed is produced

With a well managed little dairy like j
this the owner can clear $100 to $150 |
a month above the cost of labor and
the rental value of the land. The produce
may be handled in the form of 1
cream and butter, and this system
leaves a large supply of skimmed milk
for pigs and poultry. The dairy should
clear at the least $t,200~a year, besides

Apple blotch Is the most destructive
fruit disease In Kansas, causing thousands

orchards, says D. E. Levis, who
is assistant In horticulture at the Kan

It has gained entrance to the fruit. J
Xo blotch can be seen at the time of
the first spraying, hut if the spores are
present on the twig? in cankers it

fruit unless it is sprayed. Blotch is not
visible to the naked eye for two or
three weeks after It has entered the I

that all the copper sulphate be

all the lime with the other one-half and

With cliws or poultry as the basis of
t business, furnishing a regular it. j
come, additional money is to be made j
from a variety of products, invading '
potatoes, onions, berries ami largo !
fruits. The farmer needs to give at i
tention to details. He should know i
which articles pay best and which dis!
tribute the labor of his men most evenly.
There must lie a well balanced
i program. It is of the greatest imporI
tnuee to learn how reasonably large
| profits may be gained on a moderate
investment of capital and labor. The
! farmer ought to get out of the rut, if
he is in one. and familiarize himself
I with the conditions which govern his
business.

he does not know, .is n matter of fact j
a crop of apples, potatoes, onions or
grain does not always pay a satisfac- j
torv profit, although at times any one !
of them makes a big return. There are j
few farmers who will deny that the
apple orchard is the most profitable j
acreage on the farm, but even here the ;
profit might be doubled If the farmer !
would give more attention to the management
of his orchard, keeping the
soli cultivated, pruning and spraying
the trees, adding fertility to the soil
and selling to the best advantage.
A farm cannot be profitable unless it |
pays Interest on Its coat, pays fbr all j
work done, whether by the fanner i
himself or by his sons or hired men,
and In addition a sum for the farmer's
benefit, depending upon the season and
the business capacity of the owner.
Where the farm is very small or the
labor question Is difficult to handle It
will be best to drop the cows and substitute
a less laborious kind of agriculture.
If all the work Is to be per
formed by members of the family
poultry, fruit, vegetables and flowers
are the best products.
If the tract Is not more than twenty
acres It will hardly pay to undertake
anything In the line of dairying, but a
place of ten acres Is ample for quite a
large poultry plant, a garden and an
orchard.

from the farm is to put it back

[ account of a discovery which enables
him to load hogs easily on to a wagI

I "One of the best labor saving devices
that I have used Is a bushel basket
over the head of a hog when loading.
Place the basket over the hog's head
and back him Into the chute. The hog
will continue to back and Is very

BUDDING A WALNUT TREE.
New Method Developed by Student of
Oregon Agricultural College.
A new method of budding walnut*
has been developed by E. J. Knius of
the Oregon agricultural experiment
station. Buds one year old are used,
those found just below the current
year's growth. Only plump buds that
have remained dormant are employed.
It Is also possible to use buds from
scion wood out during the winter or
very early spring, when it is in u perfectly
dormant condition. If such
scions are placed in moist sand for a
couple of weeks before the budding is
done the buds may be removed quite
easily.
In making the hinge bud *a transverse
incisiou about half an iuch long
is made about one inch above the surface
of the soil and a similar ouc
about three-fourths of an inch above
the other. The two are then connected
with a longitudinal incision which
forms the completed "I" cut on the
stock.
The bud, which is rectangular and of
exactly the same length as the distance
between the two transverse cuts
on the stock, is removed from the bud
stick by first making two transverse
cuts of the proper distance apart to
give the correct length to the bud and
then connecting these two by longitudinal
cuts about half an Inch apart
The bud proper should be approximate

ly In the center of this piece. The bud
Is then easily removed by Inserting
the back of the knife blade gently under
one corner of the piece of bark and
prying up, when it will be found that
it will part readily from tbe bud stick.
As soon as the bud la removed from
the bud stick it should be inserted into
the stock immediately. This la ac
compllsbed readUy by first turning
back the upper corners of tbe "I"
shaped cut carefully, prying them
away from the wood slightly, then inserting
the base of the bud into the
owning, pushing it down until the top
and bottom of the bud are flush with
the transverse cuts on the stock and i
the bud lies smoothly and snugly
against it.

Treating Wounds of Trees.
The Ohio station reports that two
steps in pruning wound treatment of
trees may be found necessary. One is
the sterilization of the surface of a
wound by the use of a torch or the
application of an antiseptic or spore
destroying substance. The other is
uie application 01 uressmss tu (fiocm
the entrance of harmful spores or bacteria.
One such dressing is generally
sufficient. There are a large number
of effective germicides, such as corrosive
sublimate, gasoline, kerosene,
carbolic at-id. petroleum, copper sulphate
and formaldehyde. The availability
of any depends largely upon the
nature of the wound. Protective
paints have usually been applied as
dressings, but as a rule, these are very
ineffective. Far better are preparations
of asphaltum and residual tars.
To Kill the Canada Thistle.
According to an Iowa press bulletin,
sodium arsenite is the only chemical
that will entirely destroy the Canada
thistle. It is applied at the rate of one
and one-half pounds to fifty-two gallons
of water. It further states that
a good method for the eradication of
thin weed is to dIow shallow and culti
vate frequently during the summer.
After plowing the soil should be dragged
and the roots exposed to the sun
and removed. It may be found necessary
to cot off with a hoe the stray
plants.
