Green Peas and Rye Flavor Milk

< Both Feeds May Be Given Dairy Cows After Milking With Little Effect. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When for any reason silage is unavailable as a succulent feed for dairy cows a common feeding practice is to supply the succulence with soiling crops. Many of these crops fed green to dairy cows Impart a disagreeable or abnormal odor to the milk, depending to some extent on the amount consumed and the time that elapses between feeding and milking time. Green Rye and Cowpeas. Tests by the United States Department of Agriculture to determine the effect of feeding green rye ami green cowpeas on the flavor and odor of milk have been made. These tests showed that when dairy cows consumed as much as 15 pounds of green rye one hour before milking only slightly abnormal flavors and odors were produced in the milk. Increasing the amount to 30 pounds, however, increased the abnormal flavors and odors to a slight extent, but not enough to be objectionable to the majority of consumers. Feeding as much as 30 pounds Immediately after mllkI Ing had practically no undesirable ef- [ feet on the milk. When green cowpeas were consumed i In amounts of from 15 to 30 pounds an hour before milking there was a slight Increase In the abnormal flavors and odors In the milk. A like amount immediately after milking, however, had but little effect on the milk. Avoid Flavors and Odors. While the abnormal odors and flavors produced by these two feeds 1 were slight in both cases they were more pronounced in the case of green cowpeas than in that of rye. These 1 experiments show that to avoid all disagreeable flavors and odors cause*’ by the feeding of green rye or green cowpeas they should be consumed In amounts not exceeding 15 pounds If i fad within an hour before milking. Both feeds may be conunumni after milking with but little unfavorable effect. Profitable to Hog Off Green Corn if Done Early That green corn can be marketed profitably through lard or bacon hogs has repeatedly been shown by expertj ments at the North Dakota Agrlcul- ; tural college the past few years. Thia method of fattening pigs has met with much opposition principally because the method of procedure In most cases has been wrong. A few years ago some eastern states argued against this system of feeding on the grounds that it produced hog cholera. It is new a well established fact that* this Is not true. The trouble as It existed at that time was due to pigs becoming sick by turning in on green corn without their being hardened in to its feeding gradually. In some cases

STANDARDS FOR BEANS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY GOVERNMENT

Will Tend to Encourage Better Market Preparation. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Tentative standards for beans have * been issued by the United States Department of Agriculture following a series of public hearings In lending j bean producing sections of the country. The standards Include nineteen different classes of beans and are proposed for adoption and use by state and commercial agencies to demonstrate their practicability under cornmercial conditions before official standards are established. The Importance of standards for this commodity is emphasized by the department In a statement that the ! commercial dry edible bean crop of i the United States returns to farmers I over $50,000,000 a year. Beans are an Important staple food, standards for which, the department says, would tend to encourage better farm preparation for market resulting in larger returns to growers, would reduce hazards incident to marketing, and would improve the quality of the finished product. More than 1.000 samples of beans were analyzed by the department to determine the range and limits of various quality factors in making up the grades. The tentative standards^ are made up of seven sets of grades for as many classes or groups of classes, the specifications giving weight to local production and marketing problems, as welb as to consumer requirements. Copies of the report of the department’s bean marketing investigations together with copies of the tentative standards may be obtained upon request to the bureau of agricultural economics. United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. Grow Horse-Radish From Cuttings Set in Spring Horse-radish requires a very deep, cool, rich soil and late season growth for th® best results. It is propagated from cuttings of the-small side roots The cuttings are made from the roots when they are dressed for market in the fall and are stored in the cellar or in pits as other roots are during the winter. These cuttings may then be planted in early spring but since most of the growth is later in the season it is customary to hold them till later and plant with some other crop such as early cabbage or beets. When planted the top of the cuttings should be from three to five inches

♦ cholera developed but was not due to the green corn. It got a foothold because the pigs were sick as a result of Improper management. Some breeders argue that it does not produce heavy gains. This is because green corn must be hogged off early and as a rule pigs do not weigh over 100 pounds at that time. It is a difficult problem, as most breeders know, to fatten 100-pound pigs. To successfully bog off green corn, pigs must be farrowed early in March so that they weigh 155 to 175 pounds when turned In on the corn since It Is a fattening feed as 18 matured corn. Where flint varieties of corn have ‘ been used at the North Dakota Agricultural college, heavier gains have been realized by hogging off soft rather than to wait until It Is matured. It seems that matured flint 18 hard to chew and the hogs do not consume sufficient to make heavy gains. Layers Dp Better With Well Furnished House “For the comfort of the flock and the convenience of the caretaker the poultry house should be completely | furnished,” says N. E. Chapman, poultry specialist of Minnesota university. . “Dropping boards and removable roosts are essential to health," he says. "One nest, easy of access, should be 1 provided for every four hens. Hoppers | for mash and minerals, manger and troughs for green feeds and moist mash arc needed. "Water tables or shelves, with sanitary pans or palls for water and crocks for milk should be provided. A broody I coop and h dust box are needed at cer- ' tain seasons of the year. Burlap curtain* before the roost chamber may be required In some sections of the state. "Proper furnishings for the poultry house will save on the labor bill which. In instances, is about as large as the feed hill." Importance of Keeping Winter Wheat Crop Pure The importance of keeping winter wheat pure Is emphasized by farm crops men of the Minnesota university. Since mixtures of rye reduce the market value of winter wheat by lowering grades, the planting of wheat on fields that have not produced winter rye for several seasons Is the best way to avoid this difficulty. The university men do not recommend winter wheat ns a regular crop In the Red river valley. In the north central part It may be grown successfully If Minturkl or some variety equally hardy Is planted early In September. Minturkl ms also proved satisfactory In central and southern sections. Winter rye Is a successful crop In northern Minnesota when a hardy variety is sown the first part of September. Swedish rye, Minnesota No. 2. Is • recommended for northern and central portions of the state. In the southern part Hosen rye may be grown successfully except on high exposed fields where the snow 1s likely to be blown off during the winter.

below the top of the soil. Horse-rad-ish will grow until freezing weather when it should be plowed out, cuttings made for the following year and the desirable roots marketed. Acid Sandy Soils Sandy soil that has been badly depleted In fertility Is very likely to be acid and neither sweet clover nor al- । salsa do well on poor soils that are ex- I tremely acid. In case the soil is found to be acid it will be necessary to apply some form of limestone to correct this acidity. The amount which should be applied will be recommended after the test has been made. On i sandy soils, fertilizers containing both phosphorus and potash have been : found advisable for alfalfa seedings Cutting Alfalfa Some farmers cut alfalfa according to the stage of blossoming and usually it is cut shortly after the first blossoms appear. Others pay no attention to the blossoms but cut the crop according to the stage of growth of the new shoots, which are the forerunners of the next crop. The growth of these shoots is not always the same at certain stages of blooming. Occasionally alfalfa is in full bloom before these shoots have made much growth. FAUMJIOTES Soy beans are a satisfactory protein supplement to corn or other grains. • • • Nature’s tonic for growing pigs is pasture and the exercise, sunshine and clean surroundings it affords, * • • Winter quarters for the breeding flock need not be elaborate unless the lambs are to be dropped early. • • • Probably no other piece of farm equipment has more fully demonstrated Its value than has the silo. • • • More honey bees are needed In many apple orchards to adequately insure cross-pollination, entomologists have proved. • « • In spite of the haphazard management they receive, farm woodlands of the United States produced $394,321,828 worth of forest products in 1919. • • • Saving sometimes means losing; eggs held only a few days develop watery whites on the way to market, and thereby bring a lower price.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV P B FITZWATER. D.D, Deaa of the Evening School, Mpody Bible la•tltute of Chicago.) (©, 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 18 PAUL WRITES TO THE CORINTHIAN 3 LESSON TEXT—I Cor. 18:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT — "Now abldeth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. ” —I Cor. 13:13. PRIMARY TOPIC—What Love Does. JUNIOR TOPlC—Working Together. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —The Greatest Thing in th'e World. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Love, the Hope of the World. The occasion of the writing of this epistle was: 1. The existence of rival faction^ contending each other. Some were for Paul; some for Apollos; some for Peter, and some for Christ. This factious spirit was threatening the disruption of the church. 2. Their failure to carry out church discipline. 3. Their going to law with each other. 4. Indifference to gross Immorality. 5. Letters requesting inforaiatlci. as to: a. Marriage and divorce. b. Food connected with sacrifices and festivals. c. The exercise of spiritual gifts. G. Disorder In the public assemblies consisting of the Improper behavior and unseemly dress of the women, and the abuse of the Lord's supper. 7. The presence in the church of certain ones who denied the resurrection of the dead. The particular part of this epistle which the committee selected for the lesson Is the 13th chapter, which sets forth the best of the Spirit's gifts— > love. All of the Spirit's gifts arc gond. but the most valuable of ail । Is love. I. The Pre-eminence of Love (vv. . 1-3). It transcends: 1. Speaking With Tongues (v. :). For men to possess the loftiest elo i quence and be lacking in love Is to ; be ns booming brass or a clanking cymbal. 2. The Gift of Prophecy (v. 2). ( To be able to penetrate the mystery of nature nnd Providence Is goo«. but to love Is better. 3. Faith of the Most Vigorous Kind (v 2). Even though one should have siiffl- i clent vital faith ns to remove moun tnlns It Is of less value thnn love. 4 Philanthropy of the Most Geu emus Sort (v. 3). Even though one should have such h spirit of altruism ns to be moved to surrender nil earthly goods for the sake of the poor, unless actuated by love, he would have no recognition before God. 5 Heroic Devotion Which Loads to Martyrdom Is Profitless Unless Actuated by I/ove (v. 3). 11. The Attributes of Love (vv. 4-7) 1. It Is Long-Suffering and Is Kind (v. 4). It means not only to bear long, tut to be kind all the while. 2. It Is Free From Envy (v. 4). | Those who are controlled by love are entirely free from the spirit • * . envy because of the superior wort > j । nnd success of others. 3. It Is Free From Boasting and ■ Vanity (v. 4). Love strives to do good to all with- j out seeking admiration and applause. 4. It is Decorous (v. 5). Love Is always polite and mannerly; knows how to behave at all times. 5. It Is Unselfish (v. 5). It is always seeking the good of others while forgetful of self. 6. It Does Not Give Way to Passion (v. 5). It is not quick tempered. 7. It Takes No Delight in Evil (vv. 5-C). It does not impute evil motives to others and is free from suspicion. I Love has no sympathy with that which is evil. 8. It Bears All Things (v. 7). That is. it Incases itself in the gracious mantle of love and shuts out til evil. 9. Love Is Trustful (v. 7). It looks into the future with conj fidence. 10. Love Is Hopeful (v. 7). It seizes the things of the future, brings them Into the present and appropriates them for Its use. 11. Love Is Firm (v. 7). It intelligently sets Its attention n things that are right, and with un : varying strength, holds fast. 111. The Permanence of Love (vv. ! 8-13). 1. It Outlasts Prophecy (v. 8). Prophecy in the Scriptures means I both a foretelling of events and the I teaching of the Word of God. Prophecy, as prediction, shall be fulfilled; prophecy, as teaching, shall he brought to an end in that day when teaching is not needed (Heb. 8:11). 2. It Outlasts Speaking With Tongues (v. 8). The race once spoke the same language, but as judgment for sin and rebellion, God brought confusion and caused the people to speak many tongues. The day is coming when, through the redemption wrought by Jesus Christ, all nations shall be brought back to one tongue. 3. It Outlasts Knowledge (▼. 8). The knowledge we now have is only relative, tut the day is coming when the relative knowledge shall be done away bv the coming in of a wide, and nobler intelligence. At Christ’s coming we shall see Him face to face and shall be like Him. Love will always abide for God is love. Seeking the Kingdom “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.” Make this our primary alm; put spiritual values first; make the body for the soul; do not permit the soul to become the slave of the body.—The Gideon.
