Horticultural Hints Blackberry Plants Need Cultivation in Summer Blackberry plants should be kept cultivated during the entire summer and where they are kept cultivated the sprouts will be kept down in the middle of the row. If you have not already begun to top the young shoots or canes of the black berry plants you should do so when they reach a height of two and a half or three feet. This can be done readily by going through the patch and pinch ing out the tops while the sprouts are young and tender. It will be necessary to go through the patch several times during the summer in order to pinch the plants back when they have reached the proper height. This pinching back will cause the plants to branch and be stocky, better able to reafct the winds, and will in crease the fruiting wood for another year. The canes which bear the fruit any one season die at the close of the har vest. The time to remove these old canes depends on the location or ex posure of the planting. Ordinarily the recommendations ar# to remove the old canes at the end of harvest, but prac tice has demonstrated that in exposed windy localities the old canes protect the young tender shoots from injury by the wind. In cases other than this, remove the old canes at the close of harvest. ? By D. C. Mooring, Extension Horticulturist, Oklahoma A. and M. College. Spray for Cherry Slugs With Arsenate of Lead The eggs from which the slugs that j infest the cherry and plum leaves I hatch are deposited by a black four winged fly about as large as a com mon house fly. The eggs are laid one in a place and are then thrust just beneath the epidermis of the leaf, mak ing a pimple about the size of a small pinhead. The slugs are easily destroyed by j spraying with arsenate of lead, or | white hellebore, as soon as they begin to appear. If there are cherries I | would not advise using the arsenate of j lead late in the season, on account of j the danger of poisoning those who eat j the fruit. The white hellebore, lightly , dusted over the leaves, or put in water in the proportion of an ounce to 3 gal lons, and sprayed on the leaves, will kill the slugs and not poison those who eat the cherries. The slugs may also be killed by spraying with Black-Leaf 40, a good | teaspoonful to a gallon of water, or a pint in 100 gallons. ? C. P. Gillette, Colorado State Entomologist. Fourth Spray Helps in Controlling Apple Pest R. S. Mackintosh, specialist in hor ticulture for the agricultural exten sion division of Minnesota university, sends out notice that the fourth spray to assist In controlling the apple mug got shouli be applied about July 20. As th? adult flies do not all appear at the same time, It is necessary to keep the foliage covered with poison. Ordinarily it is advisable, says Mr. 1 Mackintosh, to leave a few trees un- ? sprayed in order to check up results, but with the apple maggot it is safer to spryy all tin* trees. If there Is sufficient arse *<? of lead present, j the insects are killed. Minnesota orchardists are showing , a preference for the standard liquid lime sulphur, says Mr. Mackintosh, j "One of our orchardists used the liquid last season while his neighbors used the dry," he says, 'but they lost so much from ?he scab that this year they are using the liquid. It has been found necessary in Michigan orchards to use five or six pounds of the dry j per 50 gallons of water to equal the liquid." Proper Thinning Tends to Improve Apple Crop Proper thinning reduces the number, but the remaining fruit becomes so much larger in size that the yield Is j practically as much. Besides this the j fruit is nearly all marketable at a ! good price. 1 Thin apples (Then about one Inch In diameter, removing all apples at the ends of branches. Where two or more apples ate attached to the same fruit spur, only the best one should be left. If the spurs are too close together, remove all th* apples from some of them, so that the fruit is five, 3lx and ; sometimes eight inches apart. Al ways remove the smallest and most in ferior fruit. Some do all the thinning by hand, twisting the apples off backward, be ing careful not to Injure the one that remains. This tedious job is aidfcd by , a pair of thinning shears, especially when the frtit Is thick, as the apples can be clipped off without disturbing others. Potatoes Help Trees. If you can possibly spare them, put a few potatoes under each tree around the roots. The rotting potatoes fur nish moisture and some plant food. If they grow, let them, but do not at tempt to dig the potatoes. Control Fire Blight. Fire blight is easier to control than most people believe, only it requires the utmost vigilance and careful watching, together with the prompt re moval of all blighted limbs as soon ai ! they appear. Farmer Can Make Money by Culling Farm Flock ; Each year a nice little profit could 1 be made by the average farmer by j giving his hens a little study and cull ing out the poor layers, thus allowing more room for the good layers, saving on feed, labor, time and closer atten tion. The good poultryman will cull his flock the year round beginning at in cubation, but for the farmer who doesn't make poultry raising a busi ness, and wants to make it a profit able side line, one thorough culling each year will increase the production average of his flock. About the middle of the mating period is the proper time to give your flock a good culling. This will vary with different flocks, but usually comes in the middle of July, August, September, and the first part of October. The characteristics which distinguish the poor layer from the good are most evident at this time. The poor producer will not lay during the fall and winter months. A care ful culling at this time will reduce the feed bill but not the egg pro duction. Culling pullets is based on an esti mate of the future production of the bird. Culling hens is based on her past performances. A careful culling of your pullets just before they start the laying sea Bon will Improve the production of your flock. The pullets that mature , early, showing best body development and redness of comb, should be saved, i I'ullets that are undersized, lacking | vigor, deformed or hatched too late , for winter production should be culled. Select pullets with prominent eyes, broad back with the width well car ried to the tail, broad head and a deep rectangular body. To cull a flock right each bird must be handled. In order to save time and enable one to go through a large flock of birds in a short while some means for catching tho hens should be ar ranged. A coop or crate open at one end so the hens may be driven through a small door in the hen house into the coop is <1 good method. If the coop has an opening in the top so the birds can be lifted out, you can cull the whole flock with little disturbance and quickly. Molting Is one Important point to 'consider When a hen molts she has finished her laying season. The early molters, that is, the hen that molts In July, August and September. Is a pocfr producer. ?

Only Quality Eggs Get j High Prices in Summer 1 Egg markets of the country are over- j loaded at this season of the year, and thus eggs are sold on a quality basis and not simply as eggs. And because eggs are not "Just eggs" these days, and because quality eggs are the only ones that get the prices, the j wise poult ryman takes every step to put a super egg on the market. J Quality eggs are produced by taking ' the male birds out of the pens as soon as breeding is over and being very par- j ticular to keep broody hens off the nests, for a "setting" hen can start the process of incubation after a- few 1 hoiirs. R. E. Cray, assistant poultry special- ' 1st at the New Jersey State college, suggests also that eggs be gathered twice a day and kept in a cool, dry, clean place. Eggs should be shipped often and in clean, dry cases with good fillers. A ruoldy filler will spoil the quality of the entire case of eggs. He further adds: Keep the nests dry and clean, as washed eggs will not keep very long in warm weather. ' Cover the eggs up when on the way to the station and keep them out of the gun at all times. Be sure to grade more carefully dur ing this season If you would get high prices. Always Catch Ducks and Drakes by Their Necks To pick up grown ducks and drakes, always catch a bird by the neck in a firm grasp. Never pick up a duck by the body. If you do, you will make trouble for yourself arrd the 'duck. You I are liable to bend or twist, or dislocate, or break the bonaa of the wings and legs. You can carry three or four ducks, or more, as many as you can lift, between two hands, in front of your body. Do not be- afraid of stran gling the ducks, or breaking th&r necks. In Shipping Live Birds Uniformity Is Big Factor When shipping live birds, sort them as to size, age, color and sex, and1 don't crowd the coops. The buyer will always pay more for uniformity in color and size, because these factors appeal to his eye, just as good food daintily served appeals to the palate. Poor Place for Chicks.

Hog-Growing Contests Make Better Breeders (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) I log-growing contests In which the object is to make a litter weigh a ton when six months old have demonstrat ed the soundness of the recommenda tions on breeding, feeding and manage ment which have long, been made by the various state department stations and the United States Department of Agriculture. In one of these contests conducted last year by the Indiana Live Stock 'Breeders'1 association 555 farmers enrolled and 33 of them raised 30 litters which weighed 2,000 pounds or more at the end of 180 days. The Important facts for pig pro ducers to remember, says E. Z. Russell, in charge of swine investigations for the United States Departmeut of Agri culture, is that all of the winning lit-' ters were farrowed and suckled In clean quarters ; all were sired by pure bred boars; 28 of the dams were pure bred, 6 were high-grades and 2 cross breds ; none of the 36 litters contained fewer than 10 pigs; and all of them were farrowed by old sows. On the average, therefore, the pigs in these record litters weighed 200 pounds when they had reached the tender age of six months. * Many states are holding similar con tests this year, says the department, and it is expected that the results will make a large number of converts to the principles and practices of better breeding, feeding and care, not only for hogs, but for all kinds of farm ani mals. Horses Are Annoyed by Botfly Pest in August During August, horses are annoyed to u considerable extent by the pres ence of botflies. These flies are about the size of honeybees, and are most annoying to horses' legs. Botflies deposit small yellow eggs, and cement them to hairs at the time they are laid. During the late fall and early winter the eggs enter the horse's mouth. Later the eggs hatch in the stomach, and develop into the larval form known as bots. They attach themselves to the lining of the stom ach, where they remain and consume I some of the nutriment that should J nourish the horse. During late spring and early summer the bots pass out in I the manure. They at once burrow Into the. ground, where they undergo I changes in their life cycle, and soon emerge as fully developed botflies. | Bots produce no definite symptoms, neither is there any satisfactory treat ment that can be applied. Prevention is easy, and practicable to a consider able extent. Every few days during the fall months all hairs should be clipped off that contain eggs of bot- | files. By thus reducing the number of i eggs the number of bots will be re- ' duced. Pigs on Rape Pasture Require Some Tankage Tests in hog feeding conducted Jby W. L. Robison of the Ohio experiment station show an advantage of feeding some tankage as a supplement to corn j to pigs on rope pasture. Some farm ( ers have believed that rape pasture alone is a satisfactory supplement for ( corn. Pigs weighing 36 pounds and fed a j , ration of corn 19, tankage 1, parts by weight, for 18 weeks on rape pasture weighed 171 pounds at the end of the experiment. A similar lot of pigs full fed on corn alone but on rape pasture for 18 weeks made a final weight of 146 pounds. The average daily gain for tlje tank age-fed group Is 1.1 pounds and nine tenths of a pound for the lot full fed on corn alone. The tests show that rape Is a valu able pasture for swine, but It will not fully supplement a full-fed ration of corn. Self-Feeders for Swine Fattening Reduce Cost Wherever labor can be saved on the farm and results accomplished Just as satisfactorily, by all means save th? labor. Results of experiments at the University of Missouri College of Agri culture with self-feeders for fattening hogs show that those eating from a self-feeder gain more rapidly than those depending on the hand-feeding methods. The amount of feed neces sary to produce a pound of pork re mains practically the same, but the amount of labor Is usually reduced. It Is this decrease in labor which enters as a factor in cheapening the cost of producing pork. Profitable to Provide Plenty Shade and Water It Is a profitable practice to pro vide plenty of shade and water for the hogs. While trees furnish the best shade a simple sun protection in the form of a straw or brush roof sup ported by posts will be satisfactory for tills purpose If left open at the sides. The hog is not equipped with sufficient sweat glands for cooling purposes and needs this help during j the heat of summer. Summer Find Yon Miserable?
