flHHBjjHHHIHEaHfljj NORTII PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY T E. m .fit IV! TICK ERADICATION IN SOUTH Work Has Progressed Satisfactorily In Georgia Where There Has Been Co-Operatlon. (Prepared by the United Statea Department ' of Agriculture.) i Tick eradication 1ms progressed so satisfactorily In Ueorgln that probnbly ftftv&i gr moto, couiitiea will aoon ho released I'rfflii federal quarantine, ac cording to n report Just issued by tho United States Department of Agricul ture. During June, 814,505 dippings of cattle were olllclally supervised In the state, and In the counties expected to bo released from quarantine only. 800 tlck-lnfestcd herds were found. With the exception of one county, Taylor, there lias been hearty co-op-oratlon In carrying on the tlck-eradlca-tion work. The commissioners' court of Taylor county declined to co-oper- Tick-Infested Cattle. ate with the stnte for the enforcement of dipping and quarantlno regulations, and has refused to complete the work of tick eradication in herds, on premi ses and in localities held under local quarantine at tho time the federal quarantine was revoked In December, 1020. For this reason It has been nec essary to requarantlno Taylor county. There is In effect in Georgia a state regulation which provides that all cat tic going through the dipping vat shall be marked with paint at each dipping. This regulation has been of great as sistance In facilitating tlck-eradlcatlon work. Range riders," whose duty It Is to pick up any cattle not marked with paint, are employed in each county. Undipped cattle are taken to the dip ping vat and dipped at the expense of the owner, or if the owner cannot be found, they are treated as strays and sold for the expenses Incurred In their gathering and dipping. To this sys tem? the Department of Agriculture at tributes the satisfactory results In rid ding the state of ticks. In fact, It Is said there are fewer undipped cattle in Georgia, In counties In which tick eradication Is being carried on, than in any other state. The importance of freeing the South of ticks is emphasized by the increase in the number of markets which aro' being closed to tlcky cattle. Follow ing n resolution recently passed by the Maryland state board'" of agriculture, prohibiting the shipment of" tlcky cat tle Into tho state for any purpose, the Department of Agriculture has issued a notice to bureau of animal industry inspectors to the effect that shipments of cattle from quarantined areas can not be received at tho Union stock yards, Baltimore, Md. ; the J. A. White Held Co., Frederick, Md. ; the Bennlng Union stock yards, District of Colum bia, and the Carolina, Packing Co,, Wilmington, N. C. HORSE MUST HAVE EXERCISE To Maintain Normal Health and Strength He Should Be iKept Outside During Winter. Tho horse cannot maintain his normnl health and strength unless he secures about the same nmoUnt of exercise as he would obtain in travel ing from five to six miles n day. To obtain this he should bo kept outsldo ns much ns nosslblo during the winter months and be housed In a cool, well ventilated barn, properly bedded. MARKETING SURPLUS GRAINS Many Farmers Tempted to Use Supply of Feed for the Purpose of Producing Beef. Cheap feed and relatively low prices for feeders are tempting many to turn surnlus rouchace and feed into ueer. This course offers one of the most at tractive ways - of marketing certain pmlns and coarse feeds, it is im portant that one buys his feeders at n reasonably low llgure. Prevent Loss In Lambs. You will take a los3 of from 25 cents to ?1 a head if you do not dock your .lambs. Do the work when the lambs are a few days old; nnd cas trate the lautlis at the same lime. Grazlna for Hons. A succession of nnsturo crops for hogs will be necessary on many farms f hogs are to bo raised economically. Bull Is Mainspring. When all Is said and done, the bull is the mainspring of success or failure. BEST ADDITIONS TO HOME GARDEN Not Complete Unless Some Per manent Vegetable and Small Fruits Are Included. DIFFERENT CROPS INCLUDED Bulletin of Department of Agriculturo Enumerates Various Plants to Bo . Selected for Supply of Small Truck. (Prepared by the United Statea Department or Agriculture.) A home garden Is Incomplete unless It includes some of the more perma nent vegetables and small fruits In ad dition to the regular niinual vegetables that aro usually planted. A- bed of as paragus, several hills of rhubarb, a few plunts of horseradish, strawber ries, raspberries, blackberries, dewber ries, Logan blackberries, grapes, cur rants and gooseberries, according to locality and available space, are valu able additions to the home garden. All of the above might not thrive In any ono locality or on one type of soil, and care must be exercised In making the selection, says the United States Department of Agriculture In a new Fanners' Bulletin, No. 11242, Perma nent Fruit and Vegetable Gardens, Just Issued, copies of which may be had free upon request. The department says that about 00 out of every 100 iarms In tho United States have upon them some form of a homo garden or source of supply of fresh vegetables. Mauy of these gar dens include, In addition to the an nual vegetables, small fruits and cer tain of the perennial or more or less permanent vegetables. This bulletin gives brief Instruc tions for the planting nnd care of the more important small fruits and per ennial vegetables. More complete In formation may be found In the special bulletins of the Department of Agri culture and of the state agricultural colleges and experiment Btntlons. Cttrrants are considered one of the most desirable fruits for Jelly making, and when thoroughly ripened they make an excellent sauce and dessert,. especially if mixed with raspberries. Jellies, Jams and marmalades In plenty can be made from raspberries, dew berries and blackberries, to say noth ing of the Juices nnd various products Home Garden Furnishes Supply of Fresh Vegetables. that may be made from grapes. By having a collection of the different small fruits that are adapted to the region ono can enjoy a continuous sup ply of good things to eat throughout the greater part of the summer and' In addition have an abundance of pre serves for winter use. Revive Small Fruits. There should be a great revival In the planting of small fruits and grapes In connection with home gardens, es poclally In sections where homo or chards arc dying out or new ones are not being planted. The care of small fruits as regards spraying nnd other requirements is more simple than thnt of the orchard fruits, and the small fruits can be grown on a much more limited space. When space Is avaliablo a section of the garden may bo set aside for the permanent vegetables and the small fruits. Tho location of these permn nent crops, however, should bo such that they will not Interfere with the plowing of the garden or tho cultiva tlon of the annual vegetables. In no case should the small fruits be crowd cd, It being best to plant a limited number, selecting those best adapted to tho region. Weather for Berries. Generally speaking, raspberries will not stand very hotor dry weather, Blackberries can endure hot weather, but not hot drying winds. Dewberries are grown mostly In the warmer parts of tho country. In very cold sections the plants of these fruits should re- celvo some kind of winter protection Logan blackberries are grown only In the Pacific coast states. Currants and gooseberries do best In 'a cool climate, nut can stand quite warm summers If they have plenty of water. It Is not permissible to plant currants nnu gooseucmes in sections where the white pine Is grown, be cause these plants harbor tho blister rot, which Is destructive td-whlto pin trees. There aro varieties of grapes for every sectlop where any other fruits are grown. Strawberries will jftpw practically everywhere. WW. BETTER GARDENS ON FARM IS IMPORTANT Vegetable Supply In Many In stances Is Neglected. On Account of Scarcity df Labor Women Have Been Compelled to Spade, Plant and Cultivate Crops for Homo Table. (Prepared by the United Statei Department of Agriculture.) City or backyard gurdeners hnve rather outdone tho farmers In the past two or t.hrco years In the matter of raising good homo gardens. It Is truo that these city gardens have been small nnd individually have not pro duced any great quantity of food, but collectively they have been of enor mous Importance in supplying vegeta bles for the families. Farmers, due to scarcity of labor, have In many In stances neglected- their gardens and there Is need for a great awakening Who Wouldn't Smile With a Garden Like This Within 60 Feet of, tho Kitchen Door? of Interest on thejpart of people who live In the country in tho mntter of an adequate supply of fresh vegetables for their tables. The old argument put fonvard by most farmers that it does not pay to putter with a garden is poorly founded. As a matter of fact, farmers who claim that they can grow an extra acre of corn or wheat nnd use tho proceeds to buy their vegetables rarely hnvo vegetables other than potatoes on their tables and subsist mainly on a bread nnd meat diet. Good home-cured pork makes line eating, but It is much better If balanced by carrots, beets, tomatoes, cabbage and other good gar den products. In many Instances the women folks have, with dlflicultles, spaded, planted and tended tho garden. This has been an Injustice and should not be ex pected of them. The ideal plan Is to set apart a p,lot of ground for a gar den, so arranged thnt it can be culti vated almost entirely with a horse, then devote a little time each week to taking care of It. If tho women folks must do the work of caring fpr the garden, then let tho men folks fertilize, plow nnd thoroughly pre pare tho land ror planting nnd do the rougher and more laborious .cul tivation, .inure is no similar piot of ground, on the average farm In tho opinion of tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture, thnt will yield as great returns ns n good garden. In fact, 10 acres of wheat will not return ns much as a half-ncre garden. TEST OF SUNFLOWER SILAGE Gave as Good Results as Corn In Washington Crop Does Well In Dry Territory. Sunflower silage fed to n flock of breeding ewes for sixty dnys beforo lambing, In feeding tests In Washing ton, gave as good results us corn silage, us fur ns condition nnd weight of owes were concerned. Two lots of five lambs each were fed barley, cull beans and pea straw; one lot received sunflower sllago nnd tho other corn silage. The corri-sllago hunch needed 442 pounds of grain, 187 pounds of pea straw and 52(1 pounds of corn silage to muko 100 pounds of grain. The sunflower-sllnge bunch needed CG0' pounds of grain, 310 pounds of pea straw and 811 pounds of sunflower sllugo for the same amount of gain. Extra grain needed by tho sunflower-sllnge bunch was due to lack of grain in the sunflower silage, evidently. Quito n few feeders say sunflower silage Is all right for sheep and cnttlc. Ono point In favor of sunflowers Is their heavy yield. Tho crop grows well In dry sections, nnd In high altitudes. PLANTING SEED IN GARDENS Always Advisable to Use Excess Supply So That Damage to Plants Is Minimized. It Is nlwnys advisable to plnnt nn excess of seed so that tho damugo to each plant Is minimized. Tho youn? plants, when they first come up, can bo readily protected from beetles by covering with nn Improvised cover of wire cloth or of thin cheesecloth.' This measure Is particularly practical la small garden patches. CONVICT eS 9 YEARS IN WELL Escaped Murderer Is Caught After Long Search and Re turned to Prison.

Owens dug a room back from tho well Bhaft, set up his bed and arranged for his comfort. For the lost three years he has spent much time on tho surface, ho said, even to thu extent of helping vlh tho work about tho place. It appeared tho ofllccrs had- given up the hunt and believed him gone. Then he becamo careless, he said. Last week an olllcer learned he was at home again. They hnd been hearing that "at home again" for nine years. But they went. They camo upon him suddenly. He made a run for the well, but they got him. Owens says ho will not try to escape this tlmo. lie says his family Is In Rood shape nnd can f;et along without Mm, so he will stick It out.
