GROWING FRUIT IN NOOKS AND CORNERS stony which cannot be put under cultiva- tion, may be planted to grapes and nut_trees. Plum, damson and apricot trees may be planted in the poultry yard; the ben manure will fertilize the trees and the fallen fruit will furnish consider- able food for the pouitry. Two or three large cherry trees in the side yard will answer for shade, and will supply abundance of fruit. The black Tar- tarian and Napoleon Bigafreau are large, handsome trees, hardy and abundant bearers. Porches and piazzas upon the house can be utilized for grape vines. Con- cord, Niagara and Clinten will fur- nish shade—and will yield an abun- dance of cholce fruit four years from planting. Pear and apple trees may be planted along the driveway to country. roads or along the division fence which sep- nr?ées the pasture from cultivated flelds Of course, there is land enough on most farms without taking account of the nooks and corhers, but to the thrifty farmer having few acres which must be utilized it is special satisfac- tion in raising crops where nothing grew before, g THE TREATMENT OF LOW MEADOW LANDS Lands along the rivers and streams and liable to overflow in the winter and spring should be kept in perma- nent meadow or in pasture and not plowed up. If the grass is run out in places or there is considerable sheep sorrel growing on the higher | portion of the land and red root and zolden rod on the lower portions, the <od should be cut over with a sharp iron-tooth harrow thie month. Hook three heavy horses to the harrow and harrow both ways of the field. Weight the harrow with a heavy log so the teeth will cut deep,, A light dressing of air-slacked lime, say 50 bushels to the acre, should be spread and 10 to 15 pounds of grass seed sown to the acre. Grass is already mixed and may te had at the agricultural stores. Ken- tucky blue grass, red top and meadow fiscue are excellent grasses for low damp land. If the cattle are given a little grain and kept in the pasture during the entire summer and the droppings spread a thick sod may be ad, CORN QUARANTINE REGULATIONS Under provisions of Section 2106 of the goneral statutes, Governor Hol- comb has issued a proclamation pro- hibiting ehipments of ear corn and corn stover from Massachusetts into Connecticut and also similar shipments from any other state if it passes through Massachusetts in transit. In other words, only dried shell corn or cooked and preserved corn products may be shipped through or . from Massachusetts into Connecticut with- out first getting written permission from E. H. Jenkins, director of the Connecticut” Agricultural Experiment station at New Haven. Governor Hol- comb was prompted to put on euch quarantine regulations because of the appearance in Massachusetts of a very destructive insect known as the Euro- pean corn borer, Pyrausta futilais Hubner, which threatens the corn growing industry of the country. According to Dr. W. E. Britton, state and station entomologist, the European corn borer is a very destructive insect. The larvae bore into the stalks and ear of the corn plant. Often several borers are at work in the same plant and they go from one stalk to another. Two and probably three generations occur in a season, and the larvae pass the winter in their burfows in the stalks. There is no easy remedy ex- cept destroying the infested 'plants. When corn is cut and packed in the silo, or when green corn or stover.is fed to the cattle or hogs, the borers be destroyed. If corn is allowed Children’s Tender Skins with play-time.

At Your Dealers Packed in ine Of The Stomach _Is Dangerous “Thousands Have It and Den't Know " Sa Physician. dipeston—How To Recenis diss ‘o Recognize “Thousands of people suffer more or fless constantly Trom. fired, Sonted tongue, bad breath, sour burning stom- ach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in stomach, bitter eructatlons, gas, wind, and stomach acidity, and cail it indi: gestion when in reality their trouble is due to gastric catarrh of the stom- dch,” writes a New York physician. Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous because the mucous membrape lining of the stomach ig thickened and a coat- z of phlesm covers the surface 50 at the digestive fluids cannot mix ith the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented. unassimilated food. The blood is poliuted and carrles the infectjon throughout the Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of a deadly cancer. In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meais a teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Mag- half a glass of hot water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach, while the bisurated magnesia is an excellent solvent for mucous and increases the afficiency. of the hot water treatment. Moreover the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as 8 powerful but harmless antacld which will neutralize any excess hydrochloric acld that may be in your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, nat- ural digestion without "distress of any kind should soon follow. Bisurated | Magnesia is not a laxative, is harmless, pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist. Don't confuse Bisurated Magnesia with other forms of magnesia. milks, citrates; ete., but get it in the pure bisurated form (powder or tablets). especially pre- pared for this purpos to stand in the field until the follow- ing spring or summer-the borers may emerge and atiack other plants. Not only is corn infested but the pest will attack barnyard grass, pigweed, rag- weed and a number of other Jeeds and garden vegetables if growing near the infested corn. The proper dis- posal or destruction of all such food plants is of the utmost importance. | The pest now occupies an area about 15 by 25 miles in extent, near Boston, but reaching farther north than south of the city. There is danger that it may be transported by shipping (1) green sweet corn or seed corn on the cob, and (2) cornstaiks used as pack- ing material for heavy pottéty and other manufactured articles. Hence the quarantine regulations. INCREASE THE PROPORTION OF PROFITABLE COWS Is the good cow or the inferior cow born what she is or made what she is by the manner of raising and manage- ment when she is young? In answer- ing this question the writer is of an opinion that the high producing cow is not_made what she is by the man- ner of raising or by any special treat- ment the dairy cow receives during her growth period. She is mostly what she has inherited. If the dairy cow is the product of inheritance, then the ques- tion of getting a higher proportion of good cows is a breeding problem. Every owner of livestock who has given careful thought to the breeding question realizes that the main chance for rapid improvement-of a herd lies in the sire. <No one would recommend the purchase of a high producing cow and the continuei use of a bull of mediocre breeding as a means of de- veloping a herd. The skilful breeder of dairy cows does not need to have it pointed out to him how rtant it is that the sire be properly seizcted. It is largely because he realizes the im- portance of the sire and knows how to select him. reput He knows that the future ion of his herd is at stake when he buys a new herd bull. On ihe othér hand,. he realizes that a mistake in | judgment on the part of the owner ['would be disastrous to a valuable herd, Another_question which the success- fui 'breedet thinks of is this: Will the canstant culling out of our inferior { ~ows result in the next generation be- |ing better cows with fewer slackers? It is entirtly possible, and in fact, probable that if we depend upon,the elimination of poor cows alone, the next generation of cows witl contain just as many inferior cows as does this one. For'example: In a herd where animals are much of the same breeding, a heifer calf from one of the best cows in the herq has but little chance of Deing any better than a heifer from one of the average cows in that herd provided both heifers are from the same bull. About one-third of all dairy cow ised in the United States are culled out when records are Kept. That taking all dairy cattle in the ted States into ac count, ve to raise three dairy ani in order to get two that will be actory. This is an enor- mous expense to the dairy farmers, not only in raising these unprofitable animals, but in keeping them until their worthlessness is proven and they can be culled out. One way to raise moré profitable cow would be to dispose of all lew- strain cows and replace them with cows of a strain having a high dairy Inheritance. This is not generally practical. The only practical way to introduce such blood in most cases is through a sire belonging to a higher strain having a: better dairy inherit- ance than the dams.—W. A. Rhea, Extension Dairyman, Comnecticut Ag- ricultural College. A GOOD ROTATION. With buckwheat following onions, rye, buckwheat and redtop in the field without . fertilizer, according to a re- port made to the.department of agri- culture by the Rhode Island station, the yields amounting-to 21,21, 13 and 10 bushels per acre, respectively. The same crops were grown for two years in pots under various fertilizer treat- metns, and were again followed by buckwheat in 1816, resulting in yields in the same reiative order as before. Alsike clovér sown in 1916 yielded ap- proximately two tons of hay per acre after potatoes, rye, redtop and squashes, one and four-tenths tons after red clover and one and three- tenths towns after alsike clover itself. Eureka silage corn sown at the rate of 15 pounds per acre with 15 pounds of soy beans yielded nearly as much corn as where 15. pounds of corn were planted alone, the total yield being in- creased about one-sixth by the beans. Doubling the rate of seeding resulted in a decreased yield of corn, scarcely compensated by the beans. Lots of high steppers overstep them- selves. idwal sift- ertep cans.
