Question: Should the grain ratn of my daiiy cows be increased lrmg the winter months? Answer: This depends upon the lauty of hay and the present milk oduction. Each animal should ive about tsoree pounds of silage icn day for each 100 pounds of *e weight and all the legume hay ie will consume in two feedings, nen the quality of hay is poor, ore grain will be required. Hower, no matter what amount is ;ing fed, if the milk production mains normal then the feeding lould not be increased.

This will give the farmers a good iportunity to improve their land th soil-building legumes, said ios C. Blair, extension agronom; at State College. A great many farmers have been ntent, year after year, to cultt,te large areas of poor land and cure distressingly poor yields i den they could double or even eble their production by adopt- 1 g a better system of farm ad- I stment. Blair stated. For instance, he pointed out, the erage corn yield per acre in tins ir ate in 1934 was only 20 bushels. Almost any farmer can increase is yield to 30 bushels by plowing P ider one good crop of legumes, P lair added, while farmers who y ive been turning under legumes gularly for several years think n )thing of making 60 bushels of, o irn to the acre.

Long after the needles have shed from the (Christmas tree, leng after the Christmas gifts have ceased to be new, there is usually some fruit ( Fruit cake for the holidays is baked miracle oven of the m cake left in the cake box and this fruit cake can be trusted to bring back those fond Christmas memories. This is perhaps one of the reasons why we religiously make it every year and why no holiday j season seems quite complete without it. Now the mixing of a fruit cake ; adheres to the regular mixing pat- ' tern for all butter cakes; however, ; there is a slight deviation in the ! baking. While butter cakes like to be baked in a rather peppy, en- : ergetic oven, fruit cakes like to poke along in a tepid, more eaiy- : going, lower-temperatured oven.

He suggested that 6-inch boards, stood on their sides, be placed iround the bed, with soil banked iround their sides. The canvas is stretched over the boards. As an additional protection, he said, a strip of ground about two feet wide encircling the bed may be planted to tobacco. If the toaacco in the strip is kept poisoned regularly, it will serve as a trap for the beetles. Poles may be placed around the margin of the trap. Since flea beetles often wreak serious damage to tobacco beds, Brannon Is urging the growers to take every precaution possible. He also pointed out that napthalene flakes have been found good in the control of small worms In )F Cars [ OVER th includes your ICE HIIBIB f vu> NA ! * Ate te Wi the tobacco beds.

Says Red Squill Is Best Rodent Poison Red Squill is rought on rats. Bui it does not kill domestic animal' or poultry. George B. Lay, rodent contro leader of the U. S. bioligical survej with headquarters at State College said Red Squill is the most nearlj fool-proof rat poison known to man It usually drives the rodent: underground to die .thereby preventing unpleasant odors. It act: slowly, Lay added, and does no; scare off late coming rats with the bodies of dead or dying rat: near the bait. The best time to put out Rec Squill bait, Lay said, is during the winter when rats and mice leave the fields and gather in houses outbuildings and barns. Flue-cured Red Squill powder i: better than the sun-cured type, he pointed out. He recommended thai poison be mixed with three different ingredients to provide a varietj Df bait. A pound of poison to 15 pound: of hamburger meat makes a good bait, he said. One pound of the powder may be mixed with 15 lbs of cheap canned salmon or mackeral and a pound of oat meal. Oi mix the poison with 16 pounds oi corn meal and enough water tc make it crumbly. Usually, he said, it helps to pu! out some non-poisoned bait for ? few days to get the rodents used tc eating it. Then when the poisonec bait is distributed, they will eat a liberal portion of it. Place the bait where other animals cannot get at it, and where the rats or mice are likely to run Although Red Squill will not kil Helping Your F CONTROI * When Colds Threaten.. || Vicks Va-tro-nol helps H Prevent many Colds j?J At the first warning sneeze or nasal irritation, quick 1?a few drops of VicksVa-tro-nol upeach nostril.
