An ounce of changed diet with the

Training has much to do with the
making of the good dairy cow, and
the. training should begin back with
the sire and the dam.
Sheep won't thrive on poor food
-and raise a good fleece any more than
the farm horse can do a good day's

We speak of .the poultry business.
"Business is it? Then it won't ran it

Attention is essential to success in
4any line.
Too much water in the soil Is a se
rious handicap to many an orchard,
and the trouble can be easily cor
rected by laying tile between each row
of trees.
Many turkey growers retain the
small, immature turkeys because unfit
-for market and then breed from them
'the next spring. This. results in weak
ened stock, which is more liable to
disease.
One farmer who has tried it and
says it works cured a kicking cow by
passing a small rope in front of the
udder and tying it back of the 'hip
joints. No harm to try it if you have
-a kicking cow.
The farmer ought to take an inven
tory every year just as the business
man does. The winter time is the
'convenient season for this work. Find

Don't guess at it.
An Ohio reader tells how he clean
ed out a field badly infested with sas--safras.
His plan was to cut them off
-with a grubbing hoe at the top when,
the. ground -was frozen hard and then
in the spring turned in the cattle,
which finished up -what was started.
Get a microscope and examine clover
and other seeds you expect to sow next
season. Know whether there is dodder
and otter noxious weed seeds in the
mixture. A little study and practice
.makes one quite proficient in judging
the quality of a lot of seed.
Method of feeding has much to do
with the value of the feed itself. Skim
.milk if sprayed into steamed hay or
'straw or ground feed is worth as
much as 25 cents per 100 pounds for
feeding calves and hogs, but without
such treatment it is not worth more
than ten cents per 100 pounds.
Milking machines operated by elec

Blackhead to turkeys is.sistply.liver
trouble, and therefore a germ .disease

of the disease is said to be the over
taxing of the digestive organs with
grain feed as a result of insect life
being scarce, a diet which is essential
to the keeping of turkeys in healthy
condition.
The Percheron Horse society of
France has offered to the Ohio Agri
cultural college a trophy which will
probably be a bronze figure of a Per

annually by the students taking in

that cows or sheep be profitably kept,

Tadvuse of commercial, fertilizers
and auaures on agricultural crops
gives so wide a range of results from
success to failure that the many cases
is worth our consideration. "The sol
ubility of y all substances," says the
American Fertilizer, "Is the first con-
slderation. that should be given by the
farmer when he. proposes to use them.
Barnyard manure is sometimes a com
plete f erttllserr but to be complete it
must be in such condition that before
the maturity of the crop its ingredi

The Wisconsin experiment station.
In cooperation with the government
agricultural department, is at work
breeding up barley in an effort 'to get
two on, three good varieties to take the
place of the CO or 70 varieties now pro
duced in the state. During the nine
years of experimenting the effort has
been to produce a rust-resisting va
riety. In the attempt to destroy rust
on the heads of barley the formalde
hyde treatment has been used for sev
eral years, but it was found that while
this killed the covered smut it did not
reach the loose smut, and a new
method, a modification of the Swingle
method, has seemed to correct the dif
ficulty. The grain Is soaked in cold
water for 12 hours and then sub
merged In hot water (130 degrees) for
ten minutes. That kills the germs,
and the experiment station reports
that the fields on which that kind of
barley was sown showed remarkable
results inline way of barley free from
smut.
The Oregon state board of agri
culture has ordered nurserymen to dip
trees in lime sulphur mixture Instead
of, the customary fumigation. Presi
dent W.K. Newell of the board says
that' the standard mixture will be
used, that is 15 pounds of lime and IE
pounds of sulphur to 50 gallons of wa
ten la addition to this method ot
treatment to destroy the scale and
prevent the spread of the pest, the
state inspectors have the right to
seize and destroy fruit found' on the
market which has the scale on it
It would seem that if ever the scale
pest is to be checked and removed,
it must be by the general adoption
of such drastic measures. In New
Zealand it is said the laws relating
to infected fruit are quite as stringent
as those of Oregon, and appear tc
have worked satisfactorily for years
British Columbia has similar laws re
garding the confiscation of insect-in-i'ested
fruit

Feeding experiments carried on by
the Washington state agricultural ex
periment station at Pullman during
the last ten years have shown that
wheat yields better results with cat
tle and swine than any other cereal,
and now the station has begun a se
ries of experiments with work horses
to test the feeding value of wheat
In the northwest oats and barley have
been the traditional feeds for horses
Wheat Jias been used in mixtures but
there has always been fear of founder
ing from it the idea being it is too
"beating." However, In the case of
hogs and cattle such uniform results
have been attained that it would seem
unlikely that horses should be pe
culiar in this respect It is probable
that the vast number of work horses
on the farm, in the towns and cities
add on-tne many construction lilies for
railways .and irrigation enterprises In
the northwest can use wheat as the
foundation and the largest part of the
ration. To get exact data on this point
and -thus promote the interests of con
sumer, and producer, is the object of
the projected experiment at Pullman,
Wash.
The Storr agricultural station sends
out a warning against a new pest of
the apple. It is known as the apple
leaf miner or the trumpet miner of
the apple. It was first observed in
Pennsylvania and described by Dr.
Clemens in 1860. Later Its occurrence
has been recorded in Kentucky, New
York, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota, Mich
igan, New Jersey, Vermont and On
tario. The injury Is caused by the
tiny caterpillars mining in the leaves,
making large, brownish patches. Early
in June the egg, which is so small
that it cannot be seen with the naked
eye. Is deposited singly on the upper
surface of the leaf. A drop of wax
seals it to the leaf. In about six
days it Is hatched, and the young cat
erpillar, -without exposing itself to
the outside world, bores into .the leaf.
At first it makes a narrow" channel,
but with the increase, in the size. of
the insect and its appetite the chan
nel becomes wider, and a trumpet
shaped mine is the result The fall
grown caterpillar is not more than a
quarter inch tn length. The color is
green, with a brown head. It changes
to a pupa about the middle of July.
After about ten days In this condition,
the adult which is an inconspicuous
brown moth, appears. These moths
soon commence depositing the eggs
that produce the second brood. The
second brood caterpillars are much
more destructive than the first They
reach maturity about September 1,
when they cease feeding and prepare
for winter. After lining the mine with
silk, they settle down until ' spring,
when they change to pupae. They
remain in this condition only a few
days, when then become moths. As
the caterpillars feed beneath the leaf
surface, application of insecticides Is
useless. The most effective remedy
Is. to gather up and destroy the leases
In thefalL Where orchards are reg-,
eJarly tiled, the early spring plowing

The wonderful productivity of this
