its shady and unnatural environment 

 soon becomes weakened and laclcing in 

 effectiveness. Sucii plants are shallow 

 rooted and cannot possibly exert the 

 beneficial influence provided by vigor- 

 ous, deep-rooted plants. The possibility 

 of stimulating alfalfa growth as well as 

 tree growth by good annual discing or 

 renovating is often overlooked by the 

 grower. There are places in the valley 

 where hogs have been allowed to pas- 

 ture on this crop and at the same time 

 cultivation and ample irrigation have 

 been withheld. The pasturing in itself 

 is a commendable thing and often 

 highlv profitable, but when accom- 

 panied by the other conditions just 

 enumerated the ground becomes hard 



BETTER FRUIT 



and impervious, and the trees, no mat- 

 ter how gifted by nature, cannot pro- 

 duce profitable crops. 



The profitable use of land plaster or 

 sulphur as a fertilizer for this intercrop 

 is also often overlooked, to the ultimate 

 disadvantage of the grower. Oftentimes 

 the fruit grower, in cutting two or three 

 crops of hay, forgets all about his trees. 

 The practice is often carried to the 

 point where it takes keen observation 

 to determine whether he is engaged in 

 hay growing or fruit growing, or both. 

 The presence of a shade crop seems 

 to have a certain psychological effect. 

 The Office of Farm Management of the 

 United States Department of Agricul- 

 ture found in some Eastern apple sec- 

 tions the tendency was to neglect cer- 

 tain phases of orcharding where clean 

 cultivation had been dispensed with. 

 The practice of cutting hay in the 

 orchard is entirely commendable, but 

 where water is withheld or not avail- 

 able results are disastrous. While it is 

 true that where this crop is allowed 

 to grow up and fall down without cut- 

 ting, practically no more irrigation is 

 required than where clean cultivation 

 is practised, this idea does not obtain 

 where hay is made. In closing, there- 

 fore, let me urge that where alfalfa is 

 expected to exert its best influence 

 keep it vigorous and free from weeds 

 by fertilization when necessary and by 

 thorough annual cultivation. If hay is 

 wanted, do not be afraid of cutting it 

 for fear of robbing the trees, but be 

 sure to give it, as well as the trees, the 

 required moisture. WTien thus kept at 

 its best the grower may expect excellent 

 returns from his trees.

160 Hens— 1,500 Eggs 



Mrs. H. P. Patton, Waverly, Mo., writes 

 "I fed 2 boxes of 'More Eggs' to my hens and 

 broke the egg record. I got 1,500 eggs from

 well. Any poultry raiser can easily double 

 his profits by doubling the egg production of 

 his hens. A scientific tonic has been discov- 

 ered that revitalizes the fiock and makes hens 

 work all the time. The tonic is called "More 

 Eggs." Give your hens a few cents' worth 

 of "More Eggs," and you will be amazed and 

 delighted with results. "More Eggs" will

New Method of Preserving Perishable 

 Foods. 



.\s is well known, perishable foods 

 can be preserved by storing them in 

 cold chambers, where llie destructive 

 micro-organisms arc cillier killed or 

 maintained in a state of suspended ani- 

 mation. Similar results can be obtained 



FOOD PRODUCTION 

 MUST BE INCREASED 



The horse is a vital factor 

 in such accompHshment. His 

 efficiency is measured by the 

 degree of fitness for constant 

 use. 



Stuffed Collar Pads 



Are the only guarantee against 



bruised, galled and chafed 

 shoulders. They are better 

 than other kinds, being soft, 

 springy and absorbent. They 

 make possible the continued use of 

 a horse collar long after its worn 

 condition would otherwise compel 

 its discontinuance. 



New Patented Hook Attadimeiit 



(Found only on pads made by us) 



Consi.sts of wire staple with felt 

 washer. It gives hook a firmer 

 hold and prevents pulling off, even 

 though fabric is weakened by long 

 usage. The greatest improvement 

 since we invented the hook. Ask 

 your dealer for Tapatco Booklet.

with certain gases inimical to the life 

 of the microbes of putrefaction. A gas 

 system invented by a Parsee resident in 

 London, Mr. S. A. Kapadia, M. D., was 

 recently described in The Times. Ac- 

 cording to his method, the storage 

 chambers are filled with a mixture of 

 nitrogen and carbon dioxide, from 

 which very satisfactory results have 

 been obtained. Australian apples stored 

 in this gas for weeks, under the obser- 

 vation of fruit salesmen from Covent 

 Garden, showed no sign of deteriora- 

 tion, while partially rotten apples pur- 

 posely placed in the middle of the batch 

 had not contaminated tlic ad.iacent fruit. 

 Equally good results were obtained 

 with raspberries stored for a fortnight, 

 while fish and eggs have been kept 

 (luite fresh for many weeks. — Cham-
