Such fencing makes it possible to hog down corn and other forage crops.

Early last !spring it was thought that four or ve carloads of pure-bred sows would be sufficient to supply the club mem- bers, and arrangements were made through the Ogden and Salt Lake City stockyards for this number— bankers to furnish loans to club mem- bers. It was soon found that more an- imals could be handled to advantage, and six carloads were purchased. month later the number of cars order| ed had increased to 10, and none of the shipments contaized anything but pure bred sows bred to farrow in April. The demand for pigs was so great that following this_distribution eight hundred 8-week-old pigs were distributed by July 1. Many of the pure-bred pigs secured were purchased from a father and son in Nebraska who were in the hog business as a re- sult of a prize pig won by the boy in his corn-elub work four years previ- ous. alfa tree ling USE ALSIKE INSTEAD OF RED CLOVER. Because of the shortage of red-clover seed farmers are advised by the Unit- ed States Department of Agriculture to_ substitute alsike for red clover in their spring seeding operations. On the basis of present market prices two acres can be seeded with alsike for what it would cost to seed one acre to red clover. Farmers who puprch: clover seed should require the se men to sell these seed under label. presenting ;the germination, purity date of germination test, and, in some instances, the point of origin of the seed. special agreement between! ¥ of agriculture and the seed trade provides that the seedsmen distribut their seeds under label. Farmers should see that mer- chants live up to this agreement. The shortage of red clover seed, the de- partment explains, results from more clover hay being made last year, de- creased ports of seed. the unfavor- able vear, and the hrea.kr i 4 'or wheat.

On soils made! rich in humus by the application of barnyard manure, or the plowing under! of green crops, commercial fertilizers will be found of most value. As a rule; the use of a complete fertilizer gives the best results. A complete fertilizer contains nitro- gen, phosphoric acid and potash, Nitrogen for potatoes is best secured from nitrate of soda. Potatoes richest use of sulphate of potash. Equally as. hevay vields have been obtained when kainit, muriate of potash or unieached! Wood ashes have been used. The su- perphosphates are more valauble as sources of phosphoric acid. Fertilizers for potatoes should be ap- plied whe nthe ground is being pre- pared and thoroughly mixed into the soil. If mitrate 0f soda is used it should be withheld and applied along the rows after the potatoes are up. It matters! Jittle whether the fertilizers are applied above or below the polatnes. but they should not be applied in immediate contact with the seed pieces. SPRAYING APPLE TREES. Summer spraying of apples in the home orchard is particularly important this year, with all food products on a rising market. Under the present un- usual condition, when it is desirable to save staple foods and reduce the labor espended in producing foods, special attention should be given to the fruit already planted on practically every farm and on many city lots, say the experts of the United States depart- ment of agriculture. There are few farms that have a few fruit trees, and in many cases the usable fruit does not pay rent on the ground the trees occupys not because the trees are barren nor because they are worthless varieties, but through neglect of the owner to spray. L] Spraying has heen So often consid- ered by the uninitiated a complex and @ ive operation that many farmers ve decided to trust in Providence for e of wormle: d disease-free fruit to the commercial fruit grower.
