AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS s a fress water should be supplied at least three times dally. The cost of keeping a cow depends very largely upon her weight. But her butterfat yield depends almost entire- iy upon breeding, feeding care. There is a text here for about two pages and it s worth thinking over often.

So select & reoster from your heavi- ost laying hen. Despite the low corn prices thers are many farmers dispesing of all they raised at goed prices, while others are getting less than market prices.

(b) where may seed 161.2 bushels while one strain of cer- -ified Russets yielded 348.0 bushels per acre. “It & visit were made to the fields wheras the various lots of potatoes were srown, the reason for the veriation in vielding capacity would frequently be sasily seen. In fact only by knowing ‘he character of the green parent plant -an the quality of the seed be known he size and shape of the tubers mean uttle. The best yielding strains show v vigor of growth not seen in the poor- er lots, due to the presense or ab- sence of disease. Plant and tuber dis- eases such as leaf roll, mosaic, fu- sarium, black-leg and rhizoctonia pre- vent vigorous plant growth and conse- quent tuber’ development.

PROVE VALUE OF Some way to keep the cost of hams and bacon up to a high mark. Today the choice hams and bacon from a 225 pound pig costs a farmer about all that he can get for the plg if sold. The man who cures his own meat and usese the proper precautions vir- tually cuts the cost of pork that he eats half in two. according to J. A. Simms, swine specialist for Connecti- t Agricultural College.

Many other similar examp’es could be given to show that farmers are find- ing large increases in yields when “dis- ease free’ seed is planted. “Because one good or poor lot of seed comes from one state, the con-| clusion is frequently made that seed clover grew. At an extension school was conduct- ed at Monson the topic was soil fer- tility and the question of maintaining i tertility through the use of manure' 3 |and of commercial fertilizers was dis- ¢d and that the meat is firm and of cussed at length. The use of lime was taken up and samples from 2§ fields were tested for acidity. It was found that all but two of them were strong: 1y acid. These two had been limed re- cently. So much impressed were the farmers regarding the beneficial ef- the country.
