Practical Farm Notes
From Actual Experience.


be in good condition as milch COW when
she has lumpy Jaw or any other disease.
Lumpy jaw is a growing disease, some
thing like cancer, in this regard. SO
little is known about lumpy jaw that no
one will say what 1t really is, but 1t
seems to be generally agreed that it is
incurable. The fact that II is such a
slow growing or stealthy disease makes
1t all the more dangerous Probably
when more is definitely learned in regard
to It's true character 1t will be found to
be cancer in cattle Cancer in human
beings Is most generally located some
where about the head or face. And
lumpy jaw on cattle starts and grows
in a way very similar to cancer. Lumpy
jaw is a disease, and no animal affected
with 1t should ever be used for food, nor
should the milk from COW diseased
with lumpy jaw ever be used for food.
Nature Is all the while struggling TO
throw of disease. The germs Of can
Ger are well nigh indestructable. Prob
ably they might be communicated to
human beings in the milk Of cow or
the flesh Of an animal diseased with
lumpy Jaw.

Small Farms.

There are many advantages In favor
OF small farms. Expenses are less, the
land Is better TILED the products per
acre are greater, and the opportunities
for social advantages are wonderfully
increased. A farmers wife, in the
Farmers Review makes the following
very sensible suggestions upon the sub
ject:
have noticed that in the townships
where the farms are small in area the
people are happier and the children bet
ter bred. Smaller farms increase the
density Of the population. This gives
them better school facilities The chill
dren feel the encouragement OF numbers
and are excited to greater efforts by the
competition. Besides, their parents can
afford to hire better teacher and build
for their use better school house. Then,
too, In q thickly settled region the roads
are kept in better condition, for the land
is of greater value and stand taxing to
improve the highways. The people are
brought close together and have more OF
social advantages And social advan-
tages are q great thing. Give farmers
wife suitable company In the way Of good
neIghbors and she will forget half Of her
troubles in talking with her nelghbOrs.

heartened women II they could have
some chance to enjoy social life. pity
the women on the big farms, each mile
square, where the nearest DeighbOr Is a
mile away, and perhaps inCOngenial.
When nelghbOrs are so few and far
away, one can not choose ones company
as one would do II the farms were
smaller and neighbors plenty.

nlze the fact that large fOcks are diff
cult to feed so that each individual may
secure its allotted share; the various
ailments have to be guarded against
where large tlocks are kept that are COM
paratiVely unknown among the moder-
ate-sized fiocks. The man who has at
tained success with fair-sized flock
should be very cautious how he in
creases it, expecting thereby to increase
his profits. He should make careful
note Of the facts that have resulted in Sc
curing profits.
A good way to increase the flock Is TO
do IL on the colony plan. After you
know how to care for, say fifty hens,
then start another yard of fifty hens.
Then you will about double the num-
ber of hens with not quite twice the
amount of labor, and you should have
twice the amount Of profit. This should
be followed up until you can increase
by another colony Of fifty hens. BY
method you will be able to care for 500
hens, and do 1t successfully as you did
with the first fifty.
There are men who raise poultry by
the thousands, and with a percentage OF
loss not much greater than those who
raise but few. Their success is due to
their personal attention, and the strict
observance Of proper feeding, good
houses, sanitary conditions; in fact, the
carrying out of all little things in care
full detail that experience has taught
them is necessary. There are men who
become infatuated with the poultry busi-
ness, and imagine that because they have
the proper pocket-book backing to start
In on large scale they will be success
full. Experience is a wise, but often
costly teacher, but in poultry keeping
experience properly followed will lead
the follower on to success, and 1t is the
only way by which you can reach that
goal.-Indiana Farmer.

Farm Lakes.

We have noticed in some parts Of
Illinois number Of small artificial lakes
constructed in the pastures where the
soil Is suitable. Recently we saw not less
than half dozen Of these on q single
large farm. So far as we could see they
supplied the only water available for
the stock, and the latter not only drank
she water, but bathed in 1t. There was
no outlet, and the supply was gathered
mostly from the rains. The result of
such conditions is that the water be-
comes stagnant and foul Water weeds
end water life multiply rapidly, and the
possibilities Of disease are greatly in
creased. It would be better to build
fewer artificial ponds and have them
more sanitary in construction.
The deslderatum is to produce q pond
In which there will be current OF water,
In such farms as We refer to 1t will be
found impossible to produce such ponds
without going outside OF the natural re-
sources OF the pasture. In many town
ships there are no brooks that rum
throughout the year. The dependence in
such cases must be placed in windmill,
and this Is the reason why fewer and
better ponds should be constructed. A
windmill will not give much of stream,
it is true, but it will be enough to pre-
vent the water from becoming entirely
stagnant
1t will take some study to make the
water run through the whole pond, but
this can be accomplished by placing OBJ
structlons in the way Of the current, con-
tinuallY detecting it. Where there arc

seed to the Acre.

When wheat is selling at low price
the average farmer is apt to be somewhat
more liberal about sowing seed than he
would be if'it were worth high price.
Whatever the price may be, it is waste
to SOW more seed than necessary for the
production Of the largest crop the soil
will mature.
The amount Of seed depends somewhat
on several conditions II the land is in
thorough condition, the soil moist and
the weather favorable, there is good
reason for believing that three peCks Of
wheat is sufficient to produce good
crop. If the land is in bad condition, the
soil too wet or too dry, the weather un-
favorable, six pecks is often not too
much.
An Indiana farmer tried sowing differ
ent quantities In different ways, and
after two years trial concluded that he
could get the heaviest crops by sowing
three pecks of seed one way and then
sowing three pecks by running the drill

fields north and south, so as to allow the
sun to shine along the rows, and cross
sowing never had any appreciable effect.
A series OF experiments at the Ohio
Experiment Station indicated five or six
pecks as the best quantity of wheat to
SOW. It is probable that five pecks on
comparatively new or fertile land is as
much as can proiitably be used. A greater
quantity produces so many plants that
they interfere with each other.-Bert

Poultry Raising.

In all occupation it is the strict OBJ
seryance Of business principles that re-
suit In success. Raising poultry is no
exception to this rule, and those who
have and are making the business
a decided success are but receiving the
reward that follows the faithful appli=
cation Of strictly business methods. This
so-called luck, good or bad, is merely
the effect Of proper or improper methods
1t Is matter of wonder that men Of in
telligence, who know perfectly we'll that
certain things are necessary to observe
will half observe to carry them out, and
then, when the natural results of cause
and effect follow, lay the poor success on
luck" Luck" Is thus made an excuse
for all manner OF carelessness, incompe-
tency, lazineSs and sheer ignorance.
Success in poultry culture is no hap
hazard affair." but is secured only by
regular methods, and the closer the ap-
plicatioR and more careful and earnest
the greater becomes the success. There
are some men who can handle a large
flock with success. There are others that
succeed we'll with but few, but make a
sad failure when they try large flOcks.
A well-knoWn fancier has said there are
few "thOusand-hen" men.
One reason why many fail to meet with
success when they increase their flocks
is that they fail to increase their ac-
cOmmodations in proportion to the in
crease in their hocksj they fail to recOg-

Peaches and walnuts.

We have had some experience In plant
ing peach, pear, ounce and apricot trees
In close oprximity to walnut trees, par
tiCularly white walnut or butternut and
English walnut trees, and 1t has not
been at all encouraging, so far as the
peach, pear, ounce and apricot trees
were concerned. The walnut trees grew
very thrifty, but the fruit trees named
bllghted badly and many OF them died.
The row of pear trees next to the butter
nuts and walnuts mostly died and those
that did not die made very poor growth,
while the next two rows of pear trees
grew thrifty and did we'll The apricots
near the walnuts nearly all died, and re-
planted trees in the same row shared the
same fate. Ounce trees near Hhe butter
nuts blighted badly, were cut back Sc
verely and all blighted twigs removed
and still they blighted and died. Hardy
kinds of peach trees near the walnuts
died, while tenderer trees farther away
lived and made good growth.
What we want to know Is, whether the
walnuts and butternuts have bllghting
effect upon the peach, pear, OUNCE and
apricot trees, and, IL this Is true, why
is II so? Is the strong, pungent OdOr from
the walnut trees destructive TO the fruit
trees, or do the nut trees furnish breed
ing place for minute insects whose raw
ages the tenderer fruit trees cannot with
stand? We would like to have some Of
our practical and scientifcal fruit grow
ers turn the light OF their microscOpical
wisdom upon this subject and let us
know whether there Is anything In It,.

weevlIs In Grain Bins.

Farmers who store and hold their
grain for future use or better prices,
sometimes suffer loss from insects in the
bins Of grain. The Indiana Experiment
Station has made a careful Investigation
Of this subject and makes the following
suggestions:
Numerous inquiries have recently
come to the experiment station con-
cerning a small insect which Is described
as doing great damage to the wheat in
granaries With one exception no speci-
mems have accompanied the letters, but
from the descriptions given It is very evil
dent that the insect is one Of the grain
weeviIs which commonly infest wheat
stored in bins.
One Of the most common Of these lit
tie beetles is Calandria gTanaria, small,
dark reddish snout beetle, which de-
poslts its eggs upon the grain. These
eggs soon hatch into small, footless lit
tie lavae that eat out the substance Of
the kernels, and become fully grown in
few weeks. They then change to
pupae, and soon after again transform
to adult beetles. There are several brOOds
each season, so they may be found at
almost any time during summer and
autumn.
While there are several species Of
these grain weevils, the same remedy
will do for ALL AS these insects pene-
trate all through the entire bulk Of grain,
it is necessary to apply some sub
stance that is equally penetrating in its
nature. This Is found in carbon bisul-
phide, which may be had at any drug
store. The vapOr of this substance is
very poisonous, and will destroy all in
sect life with which it comes in contact.
This material Is also very explosive when
brought in contact with fire. Keeping
these two points in mind, It may be han
died with perfect safety. In. applying the
material It is well to keep in mind the
fact that it is very volatile, and quickly
passes into vapor, which diffuses itself
throughout the entire mass Of grain, and
as the vapOr is heavier than air 1t will
have a tendency to settle. But in order
to insure perfect results it is best to In
troduce the material we'll down toward
the middle Of the mass Of grain by means
of gas-pipe with screen over the lower
end, which will prevent the grain filling
the pipe, and through which the poison
may be poured. The pipe is then with
drawn.
One pound of the bisulphide is suf1-
Client for fifty bushels Of grain. One ap-
pllcation will be sufficient, unless the
grain is to be kept over winter, when a
second application may be necessary.
The material does no harm to the grain
in any way, as the poisonous fumes all
pass away as soon as brought in contact
with the air outside.
The Advocate and news., 1899-01-18
Destroying Grasshoppers.

In some sections of the country grass
hoppers are great pest not only the
migratory hordes that come and go in
great armies, but frequently the native
green grasshoppers become so numerous
that they are destructive to grain, vege-
tables and fruits. The Michigan Expert
ment Station makes the following sug-
gestions as to the best methods for de-
strOying these pests:
The best known remedy for grass
hOppers is fall plowing for the destruc-
tiOn Of the eggs. Where this practice
can be regularly carried on the grass
hOppers are not likely to become trouble
some, but there Is always some stump or
neglected lane which would be difficult
or impossible to plow, or else there is
some farmer who will refuse to plow his
land, and these lanes and unplowed lots
will furnish places for the Matching Of
enough lOcusts to infest an entire neigh
borhood.
The eggs are laid in pods, containing
about twenty-five or thirty eggs. These
pods are made of mucus, which is given
out with the eggs during the process Of
laying and dries down hard, becoming
brittle and imperVious to moisture. The
eggs are thus provided with waterproof
covering, about three-fourths Of an inch
long and smaller in diameter than lead
pencil. The pods are concealed in holes
in the sod in which they were formed.
These fragile little pods of eggs are open
at the upper end, providing a place for
the escape Of the young lOcusts. Now,
If the sod be plowed under, most Of the
egg pods are turned wrong side up, be-
sides being buried so deep that the young
locust will never be able to escape. Then,
too, many are broken, and moisture thus
gains entrance and leads to the de-
structiOn of the eggs. 1t is likely also
that the plowing will expose many to
their natural enemies, such as birds,
shrews, mice, etc.
A good rolling after the ploWing and
dragging will pack the dirt so tightly
that very few will escape. To be of the
most value the plowing must be general
No strips along fences, no lanes or any
size, and no Clearings containing brush
and stIimps should be allowed to seed the
rest of the farm.
When it Is absolutely impossible to
turn the sod under in these places, re-
course may be had to another remedy
viz. poisoned bats. Bran mixed with
paris green, using IL to pounds of the
poison to rs pounds of bran, should be
stirred up with water to the consistency
Of dough. Sometimes cheap mOlasses is
added to make it stick together better.
This is made up into small balls and
placed about the field The greatest care
must be observed for long time after
using these bats that no live stock or
poultry be allowed to gain access, and
II it is impossible to completely exclude
them it is best not to use the bats.

REPORT OF scHURMAN.
President of Philippine Commission
Appears Before Special Meet
ing of the Cabinet.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The cabinet
Monday was in session for more than
two hours and variety of matters
which have accumulated during the
presidents absence were discussed.
It is understood that Mr.. Schur-
man takes a hopeful view of the
situation in the Philippines and has
no doubt that with our increased forces
we will be able to make comparatively
short work of Aguinaldo and the in
surgent forces. lie stated that al
though Aguinaldo is the leader of
very strong faction of the natives he
does not by any means fairly represent
the entire population, Il considerable
number appearing to be more or less
indifferent as to the outcome of the re-
bellion.
Mr.. Schurman's views are valuable
to the president, mainly as they relate
to the future government of the islands
after peace has been established. He
is not supposed to know anything of the
military situation. President McKin-
ley is depending entirely upon Gen. Otis
for report on that phase of the ques
ton. One of his intimate friends says
though, that Mr.. Schrrman favors the
government of the Philippines by
commission after peace has been re-
stored-a commission somewhat sim
liar to that which governs the Dist riot
of Columbia. He would not admit that
much, but private letters recently re-
ceivcd here indicate that he has this
idea in mind.
The commission which he is under
stood to favor is to consist of three
members-onc army officer to look
after the insular fiscal affairs, Il navy
officer to have charge of the customs,
and the third leading Filipino of
legal training to take charge of judi
cal atfairs-the whole TO have entire
control of the whole archipelago, and be
responsible to the president and con-
preSS
