Question—J. intend , sowing
20 acres of beans and there are 15
acres of the land that were in beans
last year and I want to fertilize it with
something that will be good for beans
It is heavy clay and the grub worked
In it some last year. What would be
a good thing to exterminate them?
What is the best variety of beans?
Answer:—This ground should have
been plowed at a medium depth this
spring. For beans, apply 400 to 000
lbs. per acre of a fertilizer carrying
1 to 2% ammonia, 8 to 1O% phos-
phoric acid and 1% potash. This
fertilizer should be worked in in the
course of preparation of the soil;
that is, it should be evenly distributed
on top the plowed land and worked
into the seed -bed as the land is disk-
ed and harrowed. The tillage of the
soil will to a large extent exterminate
the white grub, and the addition of
fertilizer will make the seed -bed all
the more distasteful to this insect as
well as strengthen the growing crop
against the attacks of the white grub.
As to the best variety of beans, it is
impossible to make recommendations.
There are numerous varieties of two
large classes; first, the bush beans;
second, navy beans. Catalogs of any
of the reptitable seed houses recom-
mend best varieties to grow.
Question—R. G. 12.:—What kind of
soil is suitable for asparagus? Is
is a profitable crop?
Answer:—Any soil that is well!
drained and is sufficiently open in tex-
ture to allow the air to circulate with-
in it, is suitable for the growing of
asparagus. Speaking general'
asparagus does best on a sandy loam
soil that has been deeply worked and
carefully manured ancrfertilized. The
asparagus crop does not begin to bear
heavily until the second year. The
crop is grown from seed, and the
seedlings are set out into the perman-
ent rows late in spring or early in
summer. The following spring they
begin to bear. A well-prepared as-
paragus bed will bear abundantly for
20 years, and when in its best bearing
season, the crop may be cut twice a
week.
Asparagus yields and quality are
greatly improvee by topedressing the
eeparagus beds with 1000 to 1500 lbs
of a high-grade fertilizer in the spring
just before cultivation begins. The
. fertilizer should carry from 4 to 5%
ammonia, 8% phosphoric acid, and 3
to 4% potash. In cultivation, the
soil should be worked deep, but far
enough from the plants to avoid injur-
ing them,
Question—D. A. want to im-
prove an old cut -over pasture that
gets dry every summer. The field is
very hilly, soil sandy, has never been
farmed, think it will grow alfalfa, I
Planned to plant corn, u short variety,
and sow alfalfa at last eultivation. Is
there any drought resisting grass you
could suggest? Will a green alfalfa
bloat cattle? Is alfalfa good for cat-
tle? Will above plan work?
Answer ;—Believe your plan to get
this land into alfalfa is good. I would
not choose corn as a nurse crop. Bar-
ley is preferable. Sow about one
bushel of bailey to the acre and seed
with 15 to 20 lbs. of good alfalfa seed
per acre. In preparing the gtound,
after it is plowed give it a dressing of
about 5 loads of manure to the acre.
At the same time spread about 1,000
ths, of limestone per acre and work
these thoroughly into the soil. When
seeding the alfalfa add abOut 300 lbs.,
of a fertilizer carrying 2 to 8% am-
monia, 6 to 8% phosphoric acid and 1
to 2% potash. Harrow it well into the
soil. This available plant -food will ,
help the young alfalfa just like whole
milk helps the young calf.
If the alfalfa gets a good start it is
about as good a drough resister as
you can get. is exoellent stock
f db fearI' jt with
heavy stock there will be a danger
of their tramping it out.
Alfalfa does not bloat cattle after ,
the dew is off it. Do not allow stock
to pasture on it while it is wet with
dew.
Question—L. C. P.:—What is your
opinion in regard to the value of ever -
bearing strawberries?
Answer:—Everbearing strawberries
are a novelty in much the same sense t
that Seven Headed Wheat is a novelty. e
They do not appear to have any great b
commercial Value.
HOW TO CARE FOR THE DAIRY COW
Of All Farm Animals the Good Dairy Cow Yields the Greatest
Profit,
It has been clearly demonstrated
that the good dairy cow 18 a, more
economleal Producer than any other
farzu anlinel. Not only does she act-
ually yield more product from a given
amount of feed but she does this at
the least cost and greatest profit.
Notwithstanding these facts the pro,
duetion of milk and fat from the aver-
age cow is exceedingly' low, being ap-
proximately 3,800 pounds mills and 130
pomade fat per annum, which in value
is less than the total cost of produc-
tion, Nevertheless it hes been clearly
demonstrated that by hotter feeding
and management this average may be
easily increased from 30 to 80 per cent

labour of only 10 to 20 per cent • the
Margin would be largely profit. Such
an increase is not only a financial
necessity but the patriotic duty of
every dairy farmer,
Feeding the Dairy Cow
The milk produced by a dairy cow
of proper type is in proportiou to feeds
consumed plus the reserve of feed
stored in the body as fat and flesh, As
an example of the latter it has been
shown that fresh cows may be fed on a
maintenance ration or even starved
for several days, yet produce milk In
fairly large quantities with, however,
a proportional decrease of weight and
flesh. Again it has been proven that
cows of proper type having a storeof
flesh before calvin .
mere heavily but also more persisten
ly duringthe g nulikln
period. It is clear, therefore, that tbi
supply of fat and flesh stored on th
dry cow of dairy type will be drawn
upon when most needed and be either
given off as milk or so take the place
of feeds consumed in supplying bodily
needs that a larger proportiou of these
feeds may be utilized for milk produc"

A plentiful supply of clean drinkin
water and salt is essential for greates

Feeding on Pasture
Over large areas of Canada the mill
produced on grase will always be the
cheapest. Hence the proper care o
pasture is most essential. If cattle are
allowed on the pasture only after the
grass is from 0 to 8 inches in height
such pasture will yield most feed dur-
ing the summer and will be best Pre-
pared to withstand drought.
Natural pasture may be supplement-
ed in the spring and fall by sowinga
patch of fall rye, or during the summer
months by seeding an annual pasture
mixture composed of ()ate and barley or
a mixture of oats and clover, The
most successful dairymen as a rule
feed a limited grain ration even when
cows are on pasture, Bran 3 parts,

more than six times as much as

the efficiency of the forest protec-
tion service, and to somewhat more
favorable weather conditions, the num-
ber of fires last yew.. was only about
half that of the previous year. Yet
