Butter and eggs furnish many farm

Iron. Tho amount of butter a woman
lolls depends pretty much on the
lumber of cows her husbnnd Is wili

skill and by the amount of time she

KEEPING CLOSELY IN TOUCH
Worth While for Farmer to Keep Him
self Informed of Market Con
ditions Before Selling.
(Propared by tho United Stfitoa Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers who sell vegetables or other
farm produce to consumers or retail
stores find that taking pains to Inform
themselves on the condition of the
market Is very much worth while. Fre
quently a telephone Inquiry or refer
ence to the local paper will reveal a
nemtuid or lack o? demand that seri
ously affects tho vnluo of one's product.
Tho Information so obtained may sug
gest a delay In tnklng the produce to
town, nnd give the seller a consider
ably better price than he or she would
otherwise have obtained. In advertis
ing goods for delivery through pnrcel
post It Is particularly Important thnt
the fanner keep closely In touch with
tho demands and tastes of prospective
customers. To advertise goods at the
wrong time Is to throw away money.
To offer them for Gale at the most fa
vorable time nt proper prices means
getting tho hirgest returns for one's

DISEASES WILL NOT
KILL GRASSHOPPERS
Various Fungi and Bacteria Are
Natural Enemies of Pest.
Insects, Like All Other Animals, Art
Susceptible to Maladies and There
Are Two or Three Known
to Attack Them.
(Dy C. It. JONES, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
During every season several re
quests are received asking for Infor
mation relative to diseases as a meth
od of grasshopper control. Grasshop
pers, like all other nnlmnls, are sus
ceptible to disease and there are two
or three known to attack thorn.
First, a fungus dlsenso (Empusn
grylll Frcs), which has been reported
to bo successful In grasshopper con
trol, but Inter experiments havo
proved It to be of no practlcnl value.
It appears that tinder favorable con
ditions this disease will appear, with
more or less virulence, and sprend with
sufllclent rapidity to cause the de
struction of n largo number of lo
custs.
Experiments carried on In co-opera-
tlon with tho division of entomology
have demonstrated that tho grasshop
per Is not susceptible to the organism
when brought In contnot with tho or
dlnary form of the fungus, such ns
Is obtained from tho bodies of dead
grasshoppers. In these experiments
the grasshoppers were fed with tho
fungus, and the pure culture was
spread upon their bodies, but In splto
of these numerous nttcmpts to Infect
them, all remained healthy.
Second, a bncterlnl disease (Cocc
baclllus acrldlorum D'H.) was report
ed by D'llerrello ns having worked
successfully In Argentluu. Lnter ex
periments with this organism, both In
the Philippine islands and in South
Afrlcn, have proved It useless.
Under artificial conditions, such n9
are found In a laboratory, these dls
eases may possibly bo applied with
good results, but as yet, In the field,
no disease has been found by which a
swarm of tho hoppers In n given lo
cality can bo contaminated.
"NEEDLE-EYE" GATE USEFUL

ordinary gate. In such enses a "needle
eye" gate will make It easy for tho
farmer or his help to pass through a
fence. Such a gate Is shown In the Il
lustration. It merely consists of two
posts erected so close together thnt a
horse or cow cannot pass between
them. These posts are tied together at
the top with a long bolt, while at the
bottom tiiey are boarded up for a fool
or two to keep hogs or calves In. Such
n gate as this Is convenient for thf
fanner to "duck through" and Is at the
same time nnlinnl proof.
MUST FEED EACH INDIVIDUAL
Idea That Every Hen and Cow Must
Be Fed Exactly Same Ration
Is Erroneous One.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT
For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi
cine. It is a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad
der do tho work nature Intended they
should do.
Swainp-Root has stood the teat of years'.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Bo sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cent to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Bingharaton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

SENTIMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
