SPRAY TIME ABOUT HERE
"Spraying time comes with growing
in Oregon. Indeed successful orchard
ists beat the first stirrings of nature
and get their sprays on where pro
tection is needed while the buds are
swelling bu before they burst open,
say the experiment station reports.
Protection of apples and pears
against San Jose scale, blister mite
and red spider mites is had by use of
lime-sulfur 12-100 as a dormant spray.

Delayed dormant spray time follows
-quickly on the heels of the dormant,
especially in sudden bursts of good
weather. When the cluster buds are
separating just enough to expose to
view the blossom buds is the time for
this spray as per station reports. Lime
sulfur 3Ms-100 is the material. For
aphids on apples add nicotine sulfate

PEANUTS VALUABLE FOOD
RICH IN THE AMINO ACIDS
"Willowmooer White Pride" is a
pretty big name for a cow, but the O.
A. n. station Ayrshire of that name
seems doing her best to deserve it
In 7 years she has produced 8180
eallons of milk enough to fill the
swimmine tank at Shepard "hall. If a
man had credit with his local milk
man for that amount he could draw a
quart of milk twice a day for 45 years
and never get a milk bill.
The edible solids in the 35 tons of
milk she gave are equal to the edi
ble solids of "30 fat steers averaging
1250 pounds each. And for good meas
ure Willowmoore pro'duced .7 heifer
calves in the same seven years, eacli
of which, says P. M. Brandt, head of
the station dairy department, is ca
pable of duplicating her mother's rec
ord except possibly the heifer calf
production.
Peanuts are high in food value, says
the United States Department of Agri
culture, but there is no foundation for
the recently circulated report that
peanuts promote the growth of hair.
Investigations carried on in the Bu
reau of Chemistry with regard to the
chemical and nutritive properties of
the proteins of the peanut have dem
onstrated that, aside from the oil,
which is easily digested and which
furnishes a large amount of fuel or
energy, tne snenea peanut contains
about 20 per cent of protein of a high
nutritional quality.
When we eat protein we consume in
reality 18 or 20 substances, known as
amino acids, each one of which may
have quite speical functions in nutri
tion. Some proteins are deficient in
certain of these acids and will not pro
mote growth. Peanut protein, how
ever, is rich in the amino acids which
are lacking in the proteins of corn
and grain, and for that reason peanuts
are an excellent supplement to a cer
eal diet whether int he form of a meal
or press cake fed with corn and cereal
feeds to animals or as a supplement
to wheat protein when used with
wheat flour in bread making.
The erroneous idea that eating pea
nuts will affect the growth ot nair
may have arisen from the fact that
hair, wool, feathers, and similar ani
mal tissues when analyzed show a
relatively large amount of cystine,
which is one of the amino acids pres
ent In protein. Even were the assum
ption true that by eating foods con
taining cystine the growth of hair
could be tismulated, it would hot ap
ply in the case of peanuts, which do
not contain as high a percentage of
cystine as many other common foods,

the greatest of these. Is the fact that

hardly appreciated to the extent
which it demands.

Hay Substitutes
Farms short on hay for next fall
and winter have little choice of suc
cessful late planted crops for that
purpose. Mid March is late for vetch
and oats. Peas and oats are good at
low altitudes till early April and a
little later for high altitudes. Then
grain, oats, or beardless barley alone
are about all that is worthwhile since
millet and Sudan grass are not very
satisfactory. ,

Vegetables Mean Health
While they do not provide carbo
hydrate or fat producing material,
as a rule, yet vegetables are essen
tial in the daily food of an individ
ual in furnishing "roughage" or vit
aminous products which ,the human
system needs. Diets without vege
tables would result I? a condition de
cidedly unfavorable to the good health
of the individual. It the athlete wants
to put himself in first class trim, he
discards heavy dishes such as a con
tinual round of pastries, cakes and
the like, specializing largely on vege
tables and lighter foods which give
the system the right tone and health-
fulness.
The poor idabetic and dyspeptic
must resort very largely to these pro
ducts showing their particular value
"Greens" of various kinds such as
spinach, chard, kale, Chinese cabbage,
mustard, and beet greens are valuable
for their iron vitaminous giving quali
ties. If you want a heavier more fat
giving type of vegetable, use your
navy and lima beans. There is such
a wide range of vegetables both fresh
canned or dried, that the table can be
constantly supplied with that part of
the ration that expert physiologists
claim as essentialto our welfare and
best health. Among other things,
therefore, plant your garden knowing
that the products you grow will add
to your table necessary daily foods.
time have this brought to their at
tention. Nearly 50 per cent of the
total value in dollars and cents of
the meat and meat products slaugh
tered in the packing houses of the
United States is derived from the
hog. Three-fourths of the world's
international trade in pork and pork
products originates in the United
States in normal times and the war
has greatly increased this proportion.
There is no animal which produces
more meat and meat products than
the hog.
greater numbers than any other do
mestic animal.
As a consumer of by-products the
hog has no rival. No other animal
equals the lard hog in its fat storing
tendency. The most satisfactory meat
for shipping long distances on train,
boat or wagon and for long storage af
ter reaching its destination is mess
pork.
If properly handled hogs will pay a
profit on most any farm because they
consume feed which might otherwise

Exercise Sows Before Farrowing
As farrowing time approaches the
sow should be in good condition, but
not fat. If growth producing feeds
have been used during pregnancy and,
the ration kept bulky toy using ground
oats, ground alfalfa or skim milk, the
sow should be in this shape. Watch
her carefully, making her exercise
each day. A few. days before she is
to farrow put her in a pen and-let
her become accustomed to her sur
roundings. Include a little wheat bran
or linseed oil meal in her ration to
prevent costiveness, which is common
at this time.
The farrowing pen should be dry
and well ventilated. Spread straw on
the ground, but. not enough to let her
build a deep nest. Pieces of 2x4 nail
ed around the outside of the farrow
ing pen about 8 inches from the floor
and 8 inches from the wall will tend
to keep the sow from crushing her
pigs against the walls.
After farrowing the sows should rfc
ceive no feed for from 24 to 36 hours
being given only lukewarm water. She
should then be fed a small amount of
feed for a day or so, and the ration
can then be gradually increased. The
bulky feeds used . during pregnancy
are not in order now for the grains se
cured on the suckling pigs will be the
most efficient gains they will ever
make. Skim milk, tankage, ground
oats, middlings and linseed meal are
all good to supply bone and muscle-

knows all about cake making with any
kind of powder."
