CONTROL SQUASH-VINE BORER
Cut Out Affected Parts of Vines and
Harrow Infected Fields Lightly
in the Fall.
LONG LIFE OF FENCE POSTS
The squash-vine borer, which de
stroys melons, cucumbers, squashes
and pumpkins by boring through the
stems of the plants, and through the
leaf stalks, Is a hard pest to control.
Spraying does no good. About the

only way to get rid of it is to cut out
the affected parts of- the vines. If your
crop is injured this year, plant vines
in a different place next year. Harrow
the infected fields lightly in the fall,
and then plow at least six inches deep
in the spring. Or you may cover the
vines with earth here and there, while
growing, so that new roots will put
out, and if the borer cuts off the
plant from the original root it will still
live. Farm Life.
KEEP HORSE STABLES CLEAN
Osage Orange Leads With Thirty
Years Cement Will Last Forty
eight Years.
The average life of fence posts
from the following kinds of woods is:
Osage orange, 30 years ; locust, 23 ;
red cedar, 20 ; mulberry, 17 ; ca
talpa, 15 ; burr oak, 15 1-3 ; chestnut,
14; white cedar, 14 1-3; walnut,
11 ; white oak, 11 ; pine, 11 ; tam
arack, 10 ; cherry, 10 1-3 ; hemlock,
9 ; sassafras, 8.9 ; elm, 8 ; ash, 8 ;
red oak, 7; willow, 6. The number
of years that a fence, post will last
should be considered in the price paid
for it. Oftentimes fr a few cents ad
ditional much longer-lived post can
be secured, making it much "Cheaper
in the long run.
If the bark is left on a fence post,
it will rot much faster than if it is
removed.
It is estimated that the average life
of a cement post is 48 years and of
a steel post 30 years.
ENEMIES OF ALFALFA PLANT
Not Worth While for Farmer to Waste
Expensive Seed on Sour or
Alkaline Soils.
Practice of Removing Litter Only
Once Every Week Is Worthy of
Strong Condemnation.
The custom on many farms of clean
ing the barns, especially the horse
stables, only once every week, ten
days or two weeks, is to be con
demned. It takes but a very few min
utes to clean the horse stable each
day, and benefits received from so do
ing are far in excess of the labor in
volved. Not only do the-nimals have
cleaner, healthier and more comfort
able quarters, thus minimizing the
likelihood of disease, but there is an
actual saving in bedding, and in time
used in making the horse presentable
by use of the currycomb and brush.
An up-to-date litter carrier is a fast
time and labor saver and a stable
thus equipped is much more likely to
be kept clean.
GOOD MILK COWS ESSENTIAL
They Provide Cheapest, Best and Most
Wholesome Food for Family
Value Hard to Estimate.
The first reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from
the fact that they provide the cheap
est, best, and most wholesome food
for the family. Their value is hard
to estimate when we consider the
amount saved on the hills. Their prod
uce is a superior substitute for many
foods necessarily purchased at high
prices. In fact, there is no economic
way of doing without plenty of good
milch cows on the farm.
Sour soil and alkali are enemies of
alfalfa. Most sour soils are sandy
soils where the drainage is too good
and the lime has been leached out.
They can be sweetened by adding
ground limestone where this process
Is not too expensive and leaching les
sened by incorporating plenty of hu
mus in the soil. This can be done by
applying stable manure or plowing un
der green manure in the form of grow
ing crops, etc.
Alkali soils usually are badly drained
and can be corrected by supplying this
factor. It is not worth while to waste
alfalfa seed on sour or alkaline soils.
If they cannot be corrected, raise some
other crop.
