CUT HAY EARLY AND SAVE MONEY. One Way of Improving Quality of Next Winter's Feed. The opportunity ta increase the feeding value of hay by cutting it at he proper state of maturity is a very important matter and should not be overlooked. Actual tests have shown that hay which had been cut late and | improperly cured decreased almost 50| per cent. in value. With the very high be applied with a good pump which |Prices of all feed stuffs every farmer| will throw a fine mist. The entird|Must this year plan to get as good} foliage must be completely covered in |dU2lity homegrown feed ‘as possible [ order to obtain the best results-The|Iarly instead of late cut hay is one importance of spraying early is ob- vious when the number of young pro- duced by. each female early in the sea- son is remembered. The slugs which hatch from the ezgs will be destroyed before they grow into adults, if the spraying is carried out properly The unusually warm weather and fa- vorable growing conditions of the past month kas brought about an unusually advanced conditionn of growth on the part of potatoes and other plants and & correspondingly early appearance of imsect pests. It is estimated by the United States Department of Agri- culture that a hundred million bushels of potatoes are lost each year in the United States as the resuit of injury ang diseases, and one way to reduce Connecticut's share of this hundred million bushels is ta swat the potato ug. In addition to the damage done by the potato beetle, there is considerable injury due to the flea beetle which eats not only the potato plant, but tomatoes, cabbage, and the like. These insects can be recognized by their activity when disturbed. They jump somewhat after the manner of a flea and can pass readily from one plant to another. These beetles riddle the leaves of the plants they infest, often causing these leaves to die, thus lowering the vitality of the plant to a certain extent. The larvae, or young, | of this beetle, sometimes feed at the | Toots of the potato phant, causing an injury which is- known as “pimply way of increasing the quality of next winter's feed. All hay,. especiallv timothy, has a higher feeding value if cut before ma- turity. For dairy cows this is a point worth considering. If timothy hay must be used for dairy cattle, cut it in full bloom, or even a trifle before. Never wait until the heads have ripened and turned brown. Mature hay is less palatable, less nutritious and too “woody.” The calendar is no indicator of_when hay should be cut. If it were, June 15th would often be a more correct date than July 4th, which seems to be_the custom of many farmers. Weather is a great factor in hay making, but many fields are left too long because haying was started too late. As a rule the weather is more favorable from June 20th to July 20th than in August and hay cut early is best not only because better cured but because it is more palatable and mere nutritious. Because the hay was cut one ‘season when continued wet weather followed is not a sufficient reason for believing that the mext season will be the same, It is the uncommon occurrences which we seem to remember best and mnot the ordi- nary. Although the farmer has no control over the weather, there are daily and weekly forecasts available \\'ithha fair ?‘%’t"ree of accuracy and mush more reliable than the of the individual. e The first essential to securing the greatest amount of food value in the By P.

For market hay timothy Fields a little more if cut just after ‘blooming, but for home consumption the higher feeding value of early cut timothy more than offsets the differ- ence in yield. Cut it early for cows! To obtain the highest feeding value in clover hay it should be cut when in full bloom. If cut later, many of the leaves are lost in handling. The leaves contain the largest amount of protein in the plant. The analysis of early and late cut hay crops shows that in the case of timothy, 100 pounds of hay cut early (before full bloom) contains 51 pounds of total nutrient, while timothy hay cut nearly ripe contains only 45.4 pounds of total nutrient. In other ‘words, 'the man who allows his timothy to become over ripe loses approxima- tely 5% pounds of digestible nutrient in every hundred pounds. which means a loss of over 100 pounds of digestible matter per ton. In the:case of Ken- tucky Blue Grass hay, this loss is about 135 pounds per ton. Clover hay which is cut in bloom, contains more than 30 pounds more digestible nu- trient per ton than clover cut after blooming. Alfalfa hay contains about 100 pounds more digestible matter per ton when cut just before bloom than is the case when it is cut after the seed forms, The feeder of live stock, who is pay- ing present prices for nutrients in the feeds he buys cannot afford to over- look this opportunity to add seve hundred pounds of digestible matter to his home grown feed. Look these figures over carefully and ask your- self whether or not you can afford to allow your hay to become over ripe.— G. A. McDonald, Connecticut Agricul- tural College. USE THE SURPLUS COWPEA SEED. Stockmen Urged to Plant or Feed It Promptly Before It Is Destroyed by Weevils. There is a large surplus supply of cowpea ‘seed in_the country which should be vlanted or fed promptly to save it from the ravages of weevils, according to the Committee on Seed Stocks of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. The surplus is of varicties with colored eeed which ordinarily are not used for human food, but which produce hay of ex- cellent quality and seed which is a very desirable concentrated stock feed rich in protein. Beginning with warm weather in summer the damage | wpea seed in storage by weevils ely to be very large, so that it is highly desirable that plans be made to utilize the surplus supply promptly in additiomal plantings and where there is an excess above this, for feed- ing, particularly to hogs. It is ursent, | the department specialists say, that| the South, especially, should further increase its acreage of cowpeas this year. The cowpea hay, when properly cured, is of high feeding value, prac- tically equal to that of alfalfa. The Southern States should grow as near- ly as possible the entire supply of hay they will need. Heretofore the South has imported each year large quantities of hay from thé North and West. Growing this hay in the South will relieve the railways of a tre- mendous traffic. Cowpea seed, especially ground. is a valuable stock feed. experiments of the Alabama ment Station have clearly i cowpeas are practically equal to corn ( value for fattening pigs. However, a mixture of corn and co peas in equal parts is far more sat factory than either fed alone. In| similar experiments at the Sout] Carolina Experiment Station, the re- sults indicated that cowpeas alone zave better results for fattening piss than corn alone. However, the proper methog is to feen the two in mixture. Cowpea meal has also been found a very satisfactory feed for mules, espe- cially in a mixture composed of one- third cowpea meal and two-thirds corn-and-cob meal. Similar mixtures may be made with other grain feeds that are not rick in protein, as the cowpea seed is rich in this meterial. when WHAT THE COW-TESTING AS-! SOCIATION CAN NOT DO. It can not compel a dairyman to dis- | pose of his poor cows if he is deter- | mined to keep them. It can not make | him feed according to production nor | practice economy in the management of his dairy herd. It can not require him to dispose of his scrub bull and buy a better one. It has never yet de- manded the planting of legumes and | the building of silos. It never will compel, but it will always will en- courage, economical improvement of | the herd, of the farm, and of the busi- ness—U. S. Department of Agriculture. | PLANT POTATOES FOR HOME USE Home Gardners May Produce Enough for Five Persons During a Winter from a Small Plot. It ien't too late the first half June to plant late potatoes section of the United States, of al says, | Specialists of the U. S. Depart- | ment of Agriculture, who are rec- ommending that all available space in gardens be used for this crop to safe- guard home supplies and to reduce transportation. Their recommendation is made de- spite the fact that potatoes require more space than most garden crops, and should not be planted in smail gardens to the exclusion of other vegetables. One bushel of seed pota- toes will plant one-tenth of an acre or a plot # by 100 feet and will pro- duce enough potatoes for the use of a family of five during the winter. At present there is a surplus of old potatoes on the market and sufficient seed can be obtained at reasonable prices. It is suggested therefore that seed be used more Iiberally than last year, and' that 12 to 15 bushels of seed be used per acre. 1t is also urged that city authorities and managers of large corporations arrange for the use of unoccupied land and have it plowed, prepared and as- signed for potato growing. It is sug- gested that they could purchase seed the worms have done their work, al- though the worms may not be present in the root. Observe how the roots the ground. g S e .

Where fertilizers are needed they can be secured in the same manner. FRUIT PESTS. Fruit bugs are still causing much anxiety and require the efforts and experience of an expert to control them properly. One of the worst pests of the apple, pear, quince, plum and other fruits is the curcullo, a very peculiar, secre- tive insect. It is seldom seen, but its work is well known to orchard- ists.

Registrants here who have made many inquiries relative to what may be done with them under the “work or fight” ruling recently incorporated into the selective service law will find many points about which they have been in doubt cleared up for them through the excerpts of the regula- tions that appear in the Putnam news this morning. Ag they are directed that théy must use_discretion and common sense in applying the regulations, the members of the local board already have made known that they will endeavor to the Tullest of their ability to do those very things, and not to work unnecessary hardship in any case. The first effort will be to clean up the idlers, and for them there will be stringent applica- tion of the rules. Other cases will have consideration, each registrant being given the fullest | opportunity to submit any evidence that he may wish in his own behalf or of those dependent upon him.
