HAY SHIPPERS FREQUENTLY MEET
WITH LOSS IN EARLY SHIPMENTS
Tight Baling and Close Packing of Hay Cause Heating.
(Pr*par*d by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Every year when new hay begins to
be marketed, reports from several cen
tral western buy markets show that
much of the new hay arriving Is hot
and out of condition, and must be sold
at a heavy discount under the price
quoted for No. 1 hay. There tire a
number of causes, but the bureau of
markets and crop estimates of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture believes the principal one Is that
the hay Is baled and shipped before
It has cured sufficiently and while It
contains too much moisture.
Baling Newly Cut Hay Is Risky.
It Is the custom In some sections to
j hale the hay front the windrow or
cock In order to avoid the expense of
stacking ot putting In the mow. It
Is almost always true that the first
new hay shipped to the various murk- I
ets Is haled In this way. In most of j
the timothy-producing sections weather
conditions are such that it is not safe 1
to allow the hay to remain long fn
either the windrow or cock, if the
best quality of hay is to he obtained.
! Loenl showers or heavy dews, followed
I by a hot sun, will soon cause it to
I bleach and deteriorate. II Is, there
j fore, the practice to hale Just as soon
| ns, In the judgment of the producer
or shipper, the hay can be safely
shipped. Tills is frequently entirely
too soon for the conditions under which
it Is marketed.
The movement of hay from a dry
to a humid section, or from n cool to
a warmer one. Increases the proba
bility of heating. Tight bullng and
close packing In the cars are con
tributing causes, and apply to alfalfa
and prairie hay as well us to timothy.
Higher Pricet Invite Early Shipment.
The easiest way to avoid the losses
caused by hay getting out of condition
Is not to ship new hay until it has gone
through the “sweat” and becomes
properly cured In the mow or stack.
The premiums usually offered for early
shipments of new liny are very In
viting, however. The first new hay,
If In good condition, often sells near
the price of old hay which, us the sea
son draws to a close. Is frequently
SOWING TURNIPS TO
FOLLOW VEGETABLES
Excellent Crop to Utilize Waste
Spaces in Garden.
tsasonably Rich Soil Is Essential,
Finely Raked and Leveled Off
to Avoid Water Collecting
in Little Pools.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
ot Agriculture.)
As a crop to utilize garden space
after early vegetables have been har
vested, nothing is better than the
turnip. Turnips should be planted in
most parts of the country about July
25, hut In the extreme South as late
as the last of August and can he left
In the ground until after several light
frosts or all winter In the South. They
are useful as a table vegetable and to
a limited extent will supply the place
es potatoes. It Is the general opinion
of specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture that the Amer
ican public could consume many more
turnips tliun It does.
For field sowing, turnips are usually
oroadeast. The particular . require
ment Is a reasonably rich soil finely
raked and leveled off to avoid water
collecting in pools. The seed should
he sowed sparingly. One homely rule
Is to take the quantity which seems
! sufficient and divide It in half. After
| the seeds have been scattered on the
surface of the ground, they should be
well raked In. This may he done by
dragging a piece of brush over the
ground. The surface should be well
smoothed. It Is a good plan to sow
turnips Just after a rain, giving % them
opportunity to sprout before a crust
forms. After sowing they will need
little attention until harvest.
Common Garden Error.
One of the common faults In garden
ing Is making rows of plants too close
together and leaving the plants too
close in the row. This causes plants
to suffer for moisture and the lack of
plant food. Give more distance.
Not Good as Fertilizer.
Sawdust is not a good fertilizer and
should not be spaded into the garden
until It has rotted so that It almost
disintegrates. It Is a favorite breeding
place for certain kinds of Insects.

high. The new hay Is heavier, too,
and the shipper profits from the sale
of the water in it, even though it sells
below the price of old hay. The
chance of getting these premiums :
causes many shippers to take the risk
of the losses that continually occur.
It Is very doubtful, however. If the
premiums equal the losses during the
first week or two of the movement.
While the shipment of new hay is
not advised until It Is cured so as to
contain not more than 14 or 15 per cent
moisture, a few suggestions are offered
by the Department of Agriculture, :
which, if followed, will tend to cllmi

nate some of the losses frequently
Incurred. The principal ones are:
Press the hay In the bale as loosely
iis possible to get the minimum weight
In the car.
Load hay in cars witfh air space
about the bales; standing the bales
on end is considered a good prac
tice.
Ship first hay to near-by markets
only.
Hay shipped Into low or humid ter
ritories should he drier than when
shipped into dry or high sections.
Provide ventilation for cars when
possible.

SERUM DOES NOT ELIMINATE
Clean-Up of Hog Cholera Cannot Bz
Expected Through Use of This
Modern Treatment.
Some persons think that the use of
hog cholera serum has become so
general that we are far on the way
toward the elimination of the disease,
hut, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture, a clean-up
of cholera can not be expected through
the use of this method. Besides, only
a small percentage of the hogs In the
country are treated eneh year and
there is also almost a Complete turn
over of the swine population each
year. Every 12 months we start with
a new lot of pigs and the fight against
disease must start at the beginning
again.
About 500,000,000 cubic centimeters
of serum are used every year, whieh
means that, counting 50 cubic centi
meters for each hog, only about 10,-
000,000 hogs are treated. In recent
years there have been around 70,000,-
000 hogs In the country on January 1,
according to federal crop estimators,
which means many more hogs In the
spring and summer. If all these hogs
were treated cholera would not he
eliminated. It would simply he made
Impotent to kill many hogs for one
season and would begin to kill again
the next season If serum were not
used. Serum treatment, like insur
ance. can not be allowed to lapse.
PUREBRED SURELY PAID WELL
Lambs From Registered Sire Brought
More Money Than Those From
Scrub in Missouri.
In the sheep tlock the purebred sire
Is a money maker. In one experiment
at the Missouri College of Agriculture
the lambs from a purebred rain brought
o>fi per cent more money than lambs
of the same age fed In the same way
hut sired by a scrub. The lambs from
the purebred ram welged more at
three months of age than the lambs
sired by the Inferior ram at four
months of age.
Dressing Asparagus Bed.
Give the asparagus bed a good
dressiug of manure. It will hasten the
appearance of the “grass" and make
tt more tender. The custom of salting
the bed may be omitted. It does not
produce any noticeable results on*
way or the other.

propriated by congress has been put.
Up to December 31, $212,077,246 had j
been put to work In projects either en- j

To match that amount the states ap- j
proprlated $285,379,312, making a total 1
of $497,456,558.

mileage of roads under construction j

miles. Os this miluge 9,555 miles was
in projects entirely completed. The
balance of 17,445 miles was in projects
which were still under construction
hut reported 69 per cent complete Oc
tober 31. In those projects there was
the equivalent of 12,000 miles of com
pleted roads, so that the completed
road to date was more than 21,000
miles, or nearly enough to encircle
the globe.
Prior to five years ago the federal
government took no active part in the
road construction of the country. To
day about one-half of all roads under
construction are being aided financial
ly by the federal government, and the
construction is subject to inspection
and approval of federal engineers.
APPROVE HIGHWAY PROJECTS
According to Announcement of Bu
reau Every Type of Construction
Is Represented.
Ninety-three road construction proj- \
ects in 28 states were approved sot
federal aid during October by the bu- !
renu of public roads, United States j
Department of Agriculture, according
to a compilation Just made public.
Virtually every type of construction is
represented In the approved projects.
The states in which these projects
were approved and the number of
projects approved In each state fol

1; Wisconsin, 2, and Wyoming, 1.
The longest single stretch of roadway
approved in one project during the
month was an earth road In Calhoun
county, Misssissippi, 35.3 miles long;
the shortest, 0.9 mile, was a brick
road In Stark county, Ohio.
GOOD USE FOR SUBSTITUTES
Gravel and Macadam Can Be Em
ployed Until More Durable Type
of Road Is Built.
It will require several years for the
United States to carry out the plans
for a comprehensive system of hard
surfaced highways. Until such time
as the main highways can be built of
the durable type, gravel und macadam
may be used as substitutes, but wliat
the whole country wants and demands
are real houest-to-goodness good roads.
