lot tbe vegstablae that can be handled to advantage in this way. ho i says. Out- of the first rules for sue- ' com in transplanting is to have | 11 the soli tn proper condition. Mr. Keller advises A garden null is ' cunsideied well prepared when It la firm, mellow, smooth, and free i from lumps or clods, he explain*. The soli is in good condition for I vegetable crops when it is so tine- | |ly divided that the soil particles | can be easily pressed firmly around ; the roots ot tho plants being transplanted so as to exclude 100 much | air and bold moisture. The thor- I ' oughneM with which the soil is ' prepared also determines to a large ' extent the ease, efficiency, and a-, mount of later cultivation ureess-! , ary. he adds. Handle Plants Carefully lu transplanting, the plants 1 should be lifted from the soil care- I > fully so as to prevent root Injury . and to keep as much soil on the roots as possible This Is most easily accomplished it the plant bed I is thoroughly watered 24 hours be- | fore the plants are lifted Keep ; the roots moist while the plants art* out of the ground, and protect them from the drying action of the sun and wind by covering with burlap or similar material. Mr. Keller recommends. | Make sure that the soil comes in good contact with plant roots by pressing the moist soil firmly arouud them, he cautions. Cool, cloudy weather Is Ideal for setting plants out. and if it is necessary to set them out In hot weather, it is advisable to do so in the evening. or if that is not possible, to . shade them If the soil is dry. it should be watered thoroughly to insure better contact of the soil particles with the roots of the plants and to prevent wilting. Beware of insect Pests If plants are purchased, they may carry insect pests on them, particularly cabbage plants from the south are commonly infested ; with the cabbage louse or aphid. It feeds on both sides of the cab- | hage leaves, causing them to curl and dwarfing the plant to such an i extent that the yi.-M is greatly reduced. The surest way to be sure ' of starting with insect-free cab- ' huge plants is to dip them before planting.

EVOLUTION OF THE HOE Isn't it interesting to trues ths development of a certain pises of equipment from its origin down to the present day? Ike autorvbile, for instance, what progress bsa been mads since the flrat horseless tagg> scared the OW Gray Mare off tht road' Although leas inspiring, one ran often find methods or instruments which have not changed in fundai mental operation or dealer. down through the centuries It la in this class that the chopping hoe. still used by many farmees and gardeners. br’unga. In order to appreciate this, let ua took back to the time of prehistoric man. Historians tel! us that the first hoe with which mankind worked the eoil. was the ihek Hoe <rf Hart's Horn. This adapted antler was probably the oldest form of hoe. and was chopped into the grvu:-! much the same as is the steel hoe at today. laboriously digging at vis soil, prehistoric man teas first earned that soil produced better ■rope when worked, as we call euJjtatmg, spading or otherwise rearranging the soil structure. The Lake Dwellers developed a •we which was typical of their’ men. Very little different in ap-

CARE REQUIRED FOG CALVES NOW l*roper Shelter, Feed Ration!* Needed By Spring Calves tby G A. Williams. Extension Dairyman. Purdue Uni- , versity.) Wheu the milking herd is turned on pasture In the spring., there , is a danger that young dairy calves will also be turned out of doors and thus deprived of much needed , shelter and care. The beat place for a calf less than six months of age. is s dry. well-bedded, wellventilsted .tell tn the baru or •bed. Because of the limited capacity of a young calfs stomach only ■mall amounts of roughage can be consumed A grain ration supplying plenty of protein and some good quslity roughage, are necessary If satisfactory growth Is to result. When a young calf is turned on pasture, growth is frequently checked. A stunted calf may mean an under*iled cow. and within a breed, other things being equal, the large cow is the most profitable cow. Rest results are obtained when 'a calf receives all the hay It wilt clean up. two to four pound, of gralu dally, plenty of water, salt, and kept ahcltbred from sun. wind, ram. nntll it is at least six months old. During the time of hot weather and flies, keeping calves in a dry. sool, dark place during the day and turning them on pasture at night is advisable, even for ant-' inaia up to IS months of age.

t earance. it was alec operated in a nanaer similar to the adapted sat ler of prehistoric man. And so down through the centuries A primitive stone hoe was found ; >n Australia which differed, la that a stone was need for a cutting Made. The Egyptians, it is> said, used a hoe made ot wood while the Indiana fashioned their tnslrumnnU with which to wort the s<MI out ■one. The wooden hoe with an iron pick, from Africa, was the first ieviation which was of appreciable significance, for it was more dur able. Quite similar to this tool was the Roman boo from Pompon. The pfeaeot day hoe la operated exactly the same as all the above modela. Hence it would seem thai •he only difference between It and •he boe used by the early Romans is the quality of the material used to form the cutting Made. In other words, the ordinary hoe of 193# Is •till the same basic design as the hoe used thousands of years ago by the first inhabitants of the earth. What if our auto had progressed no further than improved quality of materials in construction? In McMaster’s ‘History of th* United States" we learn "The Ma* •schurett* farmer who witnessed the Revolution plowed his land with a sooden bull-plow, sowed his grain broadcast, and. when it was ripe, cut it with a scythe and threshed it o«it on hi* barn floor with a flail." These tools were almost like those used by Egyptians 3.000 years before. It *as almost the year ’.MX) before the first iron plow waa made. Even then farmers refused to use it because of the superstition that pulling so much iron through their soil poisoned the land and increased the growth of weeds. The modern horse-drawn plow is familiar to all. . yet the pulling principle of this plow which makes it so easy to work with, was never incorporated in hand drawn tools until recently. '

H(^ E SENSE Miuimixe the format ion of the green true aalfur compound fouuii on the yolk ot hard cooked eggs by cooling the egg rapidly in cold water. Do thia it you do not care for this colored ring oti the yolk Did you know that a real seed bargaiu seldom exists. Any seed offered tor sale at greatly reduced prices should be viewed with suspicion because all good seed Is sold on a competitive market. Are ycur spring pigs getting a grain ration ’ Here is one that has given excenbut results on many farms: 70 pounds coarsely cracked corn. 2" pounds coarsely cracked wheat and ten pounds ot tankage or meat and bone scraps. Mix the feeds and .elf teed In a creep. Early spring ie tbe best tree planting season. Here la something to think about! Weeds coat Indiana farmers approximately 644,000,000 annually or about 6300 per farm. Purdue University poultry specialists suggest you keep plenty of feed before tbe chicks. You know chicks can t grow unless they eet - and who wants to raise chicken. that don't grow. The recommended potato seed treatment is corrosive sublimate or ' one of the organic mercury compounds. Thuja ueaunenu will kill

Indiana PIG LOSSES 00 GREAT DAMAGE Infectious Absortion in Swine Is One Os Causes Os Pig Losses Urbana. 111.. April 21 — Unusual- ' ly large death looses of little pigs ; this spring will probably wipe out any anticipated Increase in hog numbers, it is indicated by reports received from hog producers and veterinarians by the division of animal pathology and hygiene. College ot Agriculture. University of Illinois. Losses reported to date will more . than offset the anticipated boost In bog numbers expected to result from a 23 percent increase in number of sows bred to Carrow this spring. Under normal conditions a rffg mortality of from 2v to 40 per cent can be expected up to weaning time, but this spring many farmers are reporting even hear--1 ler pig losses which in some herds is nearly 100 per cent. —- - O 111 e ♦ Test Your Knowledge Can you answer s< ven of t ese tea questions?
