Reading a breed pa- per prepares the mind for the selec- tion of a sire. “A great deal too much emphasis in selecting sires is given to color or other unimportant points, by those ed. Plenty of men will refuse to pur- chase a Jersey or Guernsey that does not have just the right shade of fawn or a Holstein or Ayrshire that doesn’t have just enough white, regardliess of when these animals are used what color do they transmit? Generally all possibilities within the breed crop out with little or no uniformity. “Much emphasis should be given in selecting a bull to the evidence of production in his veins and to free- dom from anatomical defects such as weak backs and drooping rumps. Much attention should aisc be fo- cused on the dam for she should rep- resent the highest type of the dairy cow and’ have every evidence of pro- duction. It is desirable, therefore, to see her even if it necessitates consid- erable trouble and expense. “What a bull shor'd do is to im- prove the herd in production and uni- form qualities. How much he can improve the herd .depends upon the present capacity of the herd and up- on the bull's prepotency in the right direction. If he merely maintains the standard in a well developed herd he has rendered valuable service in a gertain sense. If his daughters are ‘dess ‘capable; than their dams he should . be discarded.

When the produc- tien gets .beyond 10,000 pounds of milk per year. it becomes a matter of “trying” out bulls before full’ respon- sibility is thrust upon them.” CONNECTICUT COWwS. Milk cows in. Connecticut on Jan- uary 1, 1920, numbered 118,000, ac- cording ‘to government figures. This number is slightly larger than that of 1919, or' 1918, but somewhat small- er than in 1917. The average value per cow was $105 in January of this Yyear against $94 last year and $73.50 in 1917, Taking the United States as a whole, there are nearly one miil- lion more = dairy cdws in 1920 than there were in 1917, GIVE GARDEN GOOD CARE. The manure for a garden is best ap- plied in the fall and plowed under in the spring, and phosphate used in the hill' and drill. Do not keep one plot too long for the garden. A change of location means less trouble fromyweeds, insects and fungus dis- eases. , Moisture raust be conserved in the vegetable ‘garden. This is usually done by tillage, and can also be great- ly helped by destroying the plants as; soon as they have produced their crop. At the Pennsylvania State col- lege cabbage plants are pulled or cut oft with hoes as soon as possible after the heads have been cut and sold. By the time the last hieads are marketed most of the stubs and leaves have dried, so they will not inferfere with disking or plowing. The ravages of insects and diseases are also checked by destroying the old plants. Every crop that is raised on the farm should help to put the soil into better condition, both physically and chemically. aim of the rotation of crops.

Al soils ‘eonsist of small atoms “or soil particles. In a wet soil all space between these par- ticles is filled with water, excluding the air. In a moist soil each particle is enveloped in a film of moisture, allowing the air to penetrate be- tween the particles. A wet soil rots the seed; a moist spil sprouts it and promotes its growth. MEAT ANIMALS IN COMBINATIONS. I The keeping of cattle and of swine appear to be almost inseparable oper- atiops. This fact is' beink brought out in the returns -of ‘the “Better Sires—Better Stock” crusade of the mgricultural colleges. the ' United States Department of Agriculture, and co-operating agencies. This gen- eral practice has long been known, but much more definite information is being gathefed, and the purpose is to extend it to such an extent as to determine the relationships among %1l meat animals. If nearly every man who keeps cattle also keeps hogs, and if nearly every man who keeps hogs also keeps cattle, thé inevitable- conclusion is that the combination pays, especially when purebred sires are used. But it remains to be determined what are the most common and the best pay- ing proportions. The e thing ap- plies also to combinations of cattle and sheep, or swine and sheep, or cattle and sheep and swine.. = One benefit of the work. will be that it will enable the man. of -small. per- sonal experience to avail himself of the wide experiences of a great num- ber of men in working out the com- binations of meat . animals that he will carry on his farm. FOREST POLICY NEEDED. The chief forester of the United States in a recent series of addresses outlined a forestry policy for the en- tire country. . His plan includes close cooperation between the federal gov- ernment, the state gavernments and the private forest land owners, the state carrying on such phases of the work as forestry demonstration areas, fire protection, education, and exten- sion work, at the same time oversee- ing and directing the practice of the private owner that he may. handle his forest lands with the fullest. benefit to himself and to the public. This policy should be'of special in- terest to Connecticut as a state and: to her citizens who own timber lands. ' One and one-half million acres, or nearly half the total area of the state, is forest land according to Henry W. Hicock, of the forestry department of the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven, Conn. If properly handled in the past, this area would now be sufficient to supply the indus- tries of the state with lumber and other .wood products indefinitely. At present this is far from true. “At least sixty-five per cent. 6f the product of our forest,” says Mr. Hi- cock, “is cordwood which is the most unprofitable form of wood and within ten years most of the sawmills in Connecticut will cease to operate for lack of saw timber. ‘This will mean that practically - all sawed material will have to be imported from other states. In fact, since the large forest regions east of the Mississippi river are neafing the end of their cut, it Wwill' mean that most of our lumber will have to come from the Pacific coast at a very high freight rate. “Connecticut should not have to import the bulk of her lumber indefi- nitely. Her forests cannot be made to supply all the needs of her indus- tries immediately for the forests have been too greatly depleted in the past but she should be able in - future years, by proper foresight and the use of good forestry methods. to supply practically all the lumber needed for ordinary uses. To do th's, good sound forestry practice must replace the present wasteful, haphazard forms of destructive lumbering.” TEST EGGS TWICE DURING PERIOD OF INCUBATION All eggs should be tested it | twice during t.e period of incubaiion, on about the seventh and fourteenth Gays and the infertile eggs and those containing dead perms remcved, say i poultry experts of the United States Department of Agriculture. White eggs can be tested on the fourth or ezgs having brown shells often can fifth day, but te development in not be seen by the use of an ordinary egz tester until the seventh day.

It is made by removing the end of the box and cutting a hole a little larger than a quarter In .the bottom. WHen it Is set over a kerosene lamp, the hole in the bottom should be opposite the blaze. The lamp chimney. - should project through the other. end of the box or a large enough hole be cut to prevent the box from burning. The eggs are tested with the large end up, so that the size of the air cell ‘as well as the condition of the embryo may be seen. The testing]| should take place in 'a dark ' room. The infertile egg, when held before the small hole with the lamp ligted inside the box, will look perfectly clear. the same as a fresh ore, while a fertile egg will show a small dark spot, known as the embryo, with a mass of little blood veins extending if the embryo Is living., If the embryo is dead the blood settles away from it toward the edges of the yoke, forming in mome cases an irregular circle of blood known as a blood ring.

CONNECTICUT SHEEP. Connecticut gained 5,000 sheep in the past year. On January 1. 1920, government estimates credit the state with 29,000 sheep. The number is still insignificant when compared to the census enumeration of 1845, when' Connecticut had 298,574 sheep, WHY PRUNE PEACH TREES? Peaches are always borne on wood that grew the previous season. There- fore, after a peach tree reaches bear- ing age it is essential so to manage it' as to induce a fairly liberal growth each season. As a general proposition, very heavy pruning will induce a correspond- ingly. large amount of new yood growth.
