Potato scab-How to Prevent.

The Kentucky agricultural expert
ment station has lately published a
bulletin mo. ~, one division of which
gives the results Of experiments of two
seasons in the use of corrosive SUBJ
Innate for potato scab. The results
show that the treatment was very eff
feetive in preventing the scab, and, as
the method is simple and not expen-
sive, those who have had the trouble
might give it trial on at least por-
ton of the crop yet to be planted.
The following conclusions will give
the necessary information regarding
how to handle the substance:
Soaking seed potatoes for an hour
In d solution OF Al ounces of corrosive
sublimate in 80 gallons Is an effective
treatment for the fungi us disease known
as scab
Stronger solutions used for the
same length of time may injure the
seed.
stronger solutions Seven to eight
ounces of sublimate in 3Ogallons of wa
teri may be used with as good effect as
weaker ones, provided the seed remains
in them for only a short time (one-half
hour, or possibly less)
When bought of druggists corrosive
sublimate costs about dollar pound.
One OF the foremost dealers in chemical
supplies in the country gives list
price OF So cents per pound.
Corrosive sublimate is deadly poi :
son. and both the solutions and the
soaked potatoes must be kept where
stock can not reach them"

Cattle Hasbandry Selecting Feeding

The essential points in selecting

imzIs Of good feeding quality. and
second. 70 secure steers which. IN addi-
ton TO quality. also have the approved
beef form The endless variation which

the Texas ranger and the sharp backed,
slab-sided- dairy-bred steer on the one
hand, aad the high grade, pure-bred

foand at the stock shows, on the other
hand only experienced stockme and
feeders can be expected to put jdst
estimate. In money value. on each par
tiouIar shade IN quality. In most cases,
the man who lacks experience will pay
too high price for his feeders. He
should bear in mind that under aver
age conditions it costs at least
as much, and generally more. to
lay on hundred pounds gain
than that gain will sell for in
the market The feeders profit, then,
must come from the increased value of
the beef the steer carries when it is
purchased and put in the feed lot.
Thus il he can buy steers weighing
loo pounds for ~ cents pound, put
on 300 pounds of gain and sell those
steers, now weighing 1900 pounds,
for ~ cents pound. the feeder will
make money, not because the gain has
cost less than ~ cents a pound, for in
average cases the gain will have cost
him more than that, but because he
has raised the value of the 900 pounds
he started with one cent pound. In
seasons like the present, when the de-
mand for feeders is large, because of
the low price for corn, and their price
consequently high, it behooves the
feeder TO select with care, in order to
get animals that will not only thrive
well, but sell well on the market af-
ter they are fattened. Prairie Farmer.
