Many of the feeders that grow lamb | and mutton' produced in America feed some form of silage and the proprietor | of the best known “English” mutton chop house in America says that it is | Just as important that the sheep have grain, if the meat is to be highly fla- vored, s it is for them to have water. | A well known sheep commission man recently stated: “There is no better meat than a grain-fed native lamb or mutton. On the other hand, the brush- fed sheep is more like a poor quality of game, for which It should be sold.” TO STORE VEGETABLES, Storage: of Pumpkin and Squash: These you no doubt have gathered and stored away in some place to protect, them from the early fall frosts. A common mistake in keeping these is to put them where it is too cool and damp. On the contrary these should be iept in.a warm dry place until the outer shells have become thoroughly drieg and_hardened. When the shells have reached this condition the pump- kins and squash may then be kent in a dry place in which the temperature does not fall far below fifty (50) de- grees. Under these conditions pump- kins and squash which have been ga- thered with the stems“attached may be kept until spring. The Root Crops: Such as carrots, beets, turnips and parsnips require in a general way, the same storage condi- tions—that is, a cool, moist place. The chief difference’ in handling these is in the time of storirg the different roots, and the power of frost resistance. Car- rots and beets should be gathered be- fore hard freezing wea.er. Turnips will withstand a considerable freezing. while parsnips might be left in the ground all winter, were it not that they were wanted for use before they could be taken from the ground in. thv spring. So cdrrots and beets would be the first of these to be stored, then the turnips, and lastly the parsnips. One corner of a cool, damp cellar might be used. If gne does not have such a place, pits two or three feet deep might be dug and the roots stored in these, and covere donly lightly at first, and as the severity of the winter in- creases the covering should be .in- For a_small amount of these roots, boxes and barrels might be used in the bottom of either placing a few inches of moist sand, then the roots in alternate layers of sand, and these kept in a cool vart of the cellar, Pars- nips may be kept very well in the pit of an old hot bed. and only covered with Jeaves, or straw. as these Will not be injured by freezing un'ess permit- ter to freeze and tbaw alternately.— A.

In tests of a large series of insecti- cides eonducted by entomologists of the United States Department of Ag- riculture, it was found that a few thor- ough. applications of crude petroleum to the interior of pouitry houses will completely destroy mites. EGG LAYING CONTESTS. Egg-laying contests, state, national and _international, are of interest to every poultryman but not within the reach of everyone. A home egg lay ing contest-is now possible on cvery farm in Connecticut where 50 or more laying birds are kept. Through the efforts of the Conneoti- cut Agricuitural College Extension Service a poultr: calendar for keeping such a record is now available. The ndar. provides a record sheet for keeping the daily ezg production and | the number of hens in the flock to- gether with a simple method of work- ing out monthly averages and a com- varison with contest figures. There is a card with each monthly sheet on which totals may he returned to the extension office at Storrs where aver- 2 cks will be worked out. best flocks and ave- will be returned to each one keeping records and made public through the press, The poult alendar also contains mary illustrations-and timely sugges- ticna on_poultry topjcs which are of vital importance when working for h egg production.

SHEEP CUT MEAT BILL. Farm killed lamb often exceeds in quality that which can be purchased in shops because the local butcher is often compelled to hold the meat un- til it is no longer fresh. The leg, loin or shoulder is of family dimensions so an entire lamb can be conveniently used by either two or four families and the variety it lends to the meat diet is welcome. Mutton is another ‘meat that is gen- erally unappreciated, most farmers sending their old ewes t6 market when they are no longer useful in the flock. If these old ewes are fattened rapidly and the meat is prepared as mutton and not as lamb, they too make ex- VERY gro- cer every- where sells Kellogg’s day.

MENT. The usual method of treating seed potatoes consists of soaking them for an hour and a half to two hours in corrosive sublimate or formaldehyde solution and allowing them to dry. In a bulltetin, Circular No. 57, issued by the Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion, Ames, Iowa, a treatment is sug- gested which does away with the long ! soaking. The potatoes, by the new process, are dipped for two mintes in hot far- maldehyde solution and allowed to dry. Its efficiency has been demonstrated by tests covering’ a period of three than cold. It penetrates faster and: years, Formaldehyde is kills more rapidly. Use two pints of formaldehyde, 40 per cent. solution, two pints to thirty gallons of water. Dip two minutes at 118 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Pile six to eight inches deep and cover with wet sacks for an hour and then allow. to_dry. Small lots of potatoes can be treated in a wash boiler. Heat the solution on the kitchen stove until it reaches 122 degrees, when the boiler is set on the floor and the potatoes immersed in half bushel lots in a gunny sack. Large lots of potatoes are treated in | large tanks heated by steam from a | boiler, carried to the tank by an iron or rubber steam pipe. The steam escaping at the bottom of the tank quickly heats the water and is regu- lated to maintain an even temperature. Water heaters such as are used for heaéing water for live stock ‘are also used. prettily trimmed with chenille em- broidery. The colors are navy, seal and bisque. The quality of the silk is exceedingly good-and the styles are smart. GEORGETTE BLOUSES This Week $6.95 !

The college herd of beef cattle and calves has been fed largely upon sunflower silage. The fesulis have been very satisfactory. 3 For growing sunflowers the soil should be well prepared and the seed planted Jate in April or early in May. A corn planter set to drill the seed is the most popular method, but a grain drill may be used by stopping up some of the cups. The seed must not be planted ‘too thick in the row; the rows should be from 24 to 30 inches -apart on irrigated land and from 36 to 42 inches on dry land. Half a bushel of seed to. the acre is enough for irrigated land and half that amount for dry land. Sunflowers make the = best silage when three-fourths of the seed are in the late milk or early dough state. Sunflowers -are harvested the same as corn — preferably with a binder. The entire plant--stalk, leaves and seeds—is made into silage. - MANSFIELD CENTER Rev. W. F. English of East Windsor delivered the Sunday morning sermon last week.

Echo grange = received members last week: Mr. no inductment to the trapper have been raised in price, and corisequently | collecting them has been made profit- able. Rabbit pelts, which are exten- sively used by hat makers, are among these products. One Eastern concern has announced that it will need 10.- 000.000 rabbit skins during 1919 and 1920, and it desires as far as possible to secure them from Amrican sources. This is an indication of a market which should interest many a farmer boy. This fall and winter dried, cased rabbit skins will probably bring a reasonablly good return. They are s0ld by the pound, which will contain seven or eight skins. Many farm, boys can easily acquire in the course of the winter large numbers of skins which will net them a tidy sum and in addition they will have the pleasure of trapping experience. FEEDING VALUE OF SUNFLOWER SILAGE SHOWN | By P. G. HOLDEN. Experiments conducted during the past three years by ‘the Montana Agri- cultural cpllege have apparently prov- en sunflower silage to be of high-feed- ing value for cattle. Individual farmers In Montana, Idaho, Colorado, California, Ohio, Michigan and Canada_also report great success with sunflower silage, so that its value is not confined to localities where conditions make :the growing of corn difficult. In Montana the yield for green forage averaged about 30 tons to the acre under irrigation, and from 15 to 20 tons on dry land. This was from two to three times the vield of corn. The Montana Experiment Station estimajes that 2.83 pounds of sun- flower silage is equal in feeding value to -one pound of alfalfa hay. The report says? “When. alfalfa hay per ton, sunflower silage is worth $4.25. At three and ome-half tons of alfalfa to the acre an acre.. of al- falfa at $12 a ton would be worth $42. At 20 tons to the acre, an acre of sunflower silage, at $4.24 a ton, would be worth $84.80.” Most_ of the experiments to es- tablish” the = feeding value of sun- flower silage have been .conducted in connection with diary.cattle! Farmers report that the results in milk production from sunflower silage is_as great as that from corn silage. The Montana Station: fed two ots of dairy cows of 16 head each. The animals in Lot No: 1 were fed. con- centrates and 26.65 pounds of alfal- fa hay.
