Ch,csin~ Cur-.re Pe.ts.


During the past season the currant
crop in the Hudson Valley has been
seriously injured by a disease causing
the appearance of numerous small, dark
brown spots on the leaves which turn
yellow and fall prematurely. Currant
canes were quite generally defoliated
early in the season and the consequent
exposure OF the ripening fruit to the
sun brought about sunscald, resulting
in heavy loss. This trouble with cur
rants has been made the subject OF
a recently-issued bulletin tNo. 1922 of
the New York Agricultural Experiment
station at Geneva. 1t is fungous dis
ease which attacks the leaves. leaf
stalks. fruit, fruit stems and canes,
and is called anthracnose- In New

rants almost every season. but there is
no record of It's destructive occurrence

Stock Jadgiae At tie Iowa College
A communication from the Iowa Ag-
ricultural College says: That the prac-
tical man IL beginning to appreciate
the value of an agricultural education
and the work of the agricultural col
lege was never better demonstrated
than 1t was during the present month
at the Iowa Agricultural College. Dur
Ing the two weeks from January 9Th to
18th over four hundred people, repre-
senting almost every county in Iowa
and all the surrounding states, attend
ed the special short course in stock and
grain judging. They constituted a re-
markable class. Men of all ages were
present Graduates of Chicago, Iili-
nois, Yale. Minnesota and Iowa univer-
stiles, Kansas and North Dakota agrf-
cultural colleges and several of the de-
nominational colleges worked earnest
iy with the man who had no other edu-
caron than that acquired in the rural
scnool and that most expensive insti-
tuition, the school of experience. A
most faithful lot they were. always on
the alert to learn something. In addi-
ton to the regular corps of instruction
the following well-known authorities
were present and aided very materially
the nature of the work done: Prof p.
e. Holden, Pekin ILL.,, formerly profes-
sor OF agronomy, University of Illinois,
on grain Judging; Alex. Galbraith.

Wm- Wynes and Emil Ingwersen, Un-
ion Stock Yards. Chicago, on beef cat
tie; Hon. A. j. Lovejoy, Roscoe, Ill.,
and Geo. Heyl, Washington, ILL.,, on
swine. Three days were devoted each
to the judging of horses. cattle, sheep
and swine. Excellent material was pro-
vided throughout for the class work
The college herds of cattle and sheep
furnished abundance of good stock fol
that work, while in addition to the
college swine herds many breeders sent
in excellent animals. 1t was in the
horse work, however, where quality
reigned supreme.

Treatment for Cabbage Root M.egot..
In 1880 A J. Cook began to expert
ment with carbon bisulphide as rem
edy for the root maggots of cabbages-
His success was such that he soon be-
gan to recommend it for general use.
Whether it succeeds or not depends
very largely on the character of the
soil. Sometimes the remedy is ap-
piled too late to be of much, If any,
use. A man must know how to ap-
ply the chemical The point is not to
get the liquid on the plant. but only
the gas arising from the liquid This
gas is produced in great quantities. as
the liquid volatizes rapidly No
amount of this vapor will harm the
roots of the plant. at least no amount
that is likely to work its way through
the soil. This gas Is deadly to the
maggots. In some cases reports of
failures have come due to thu remedy
being applied only after the plants
have become badly wflted ON account
of the attacks of these tnsects- In
such cases the death OF the plants Ia

Prof. e. S. Goff in a communication
to the Wisconsin Horticulturist says:
I'VE Wisconsin people have been very
free to denounce the Ben Davis apple
because of its lack Of good quality. and
yet what would we have done this sea-
son without the Ben Davisg Probably
three-fourths of the apples that have
came to the Madison market since No
vember have been of this variety; and
only this variety has been sold at a
price that poor man could afford to
pay. And with the exception of very
sold at the rate of above seven dollars
apples good of their kind except the
stigmatized Ben Davis. There is an
old proverb-"Speak well of the bridge
that carries you safely over''-that will
apply pretty well here. Whatever may
be said against the Ben Davis it "gets
there" and we can have apples when.
except for it, most of US would have
had to do without. Driven by power
ty to accept this fourth-rate apple, l
have made its acquaintance better than
ever before, and must confess that my
contempt for it has not increased with
familiarity. At its best, its quality

tender when ripe, and what flavor it
has is appleish. 1t lacks juice, which
may be the secret of its good keeping.
Its skin is thinner than in some other
varieties that rank much higher as
dessert apples. 1t is not much given
to scab-and has that prime requisite
of success. good looks. OF course the
Ben Davis is not a Wisconsin apple
either by birth or adoption, and it new
er can be. but until we can offer some
thing better, why should we condemn
it?"

Meat Food. for Fowls.

In Farm Poultry, a book edited by
l.. II. Bailey, the author says: Poultry
men find it to their advantage to fmi-
tate the natural food of the fowls and
to furnish some meat food. Fowls
that are given a wide range in the
summer time feed largely on insects
and earth worms; but during the win
ter months. and when fowls are con-
fined in comparatively small houses
and yards, 1t will be best to feed meat
in some form. Vegetable foods, even
though furnishing equal amounts of
all nutrients and in the proportion con-
sidered suitable, are shown to be much
inferior to animal foods furnishing the
same amounts of nutrients and in the
same proportions Fresh bones, which
if finely cut with bone cutters, make
one of the best, if not the best, of meat
foods for laying hens This is also ex-
cellent for little chickens. Many poul-
trymen, however, cannot depend upon
the local meat markets for their sup
ply. particularly during the warm
weather After the bones have be-
come tainted they should be rejected
as unfit for poultry food. When fresh
bones cannot be obtained animal
meal may be relied on for satisfactory
wholesome should be procured. A
good quality will generally contain
about 10 per cent of nitrogen. This
meal should be dry enough to keep

Milk Your Cows.

With its immense fields of al
falfa, the best milk producing feed
that grows, the Arkansas valley
ought to be the banner butter
producing section of the west.
And when the farmer developes
his milk output to its full capacity
it will be. Those who have ten
or twenty acres of alfalfa would
find that few first class mich
COWS would pay him big profit
even should he feed them Lay
every day of the year. Then how
much greater the profit when they
can run upon the open range SIX
months ofthe ear,-range covered
with grass which needs no culti-
vation-grass that grows when
anything else will grow, is
as free as the air, and is the most
valuable feed in the world and
makes the best favored butter on
earth.
The man with n small farm can
make money IN no easier way than
by milking his COWS, and he
should have at least ten or twelve,
all good ones. Good prices are
now paid and will no doubt contin-
ue to be paid by the creamery COM
panies for butter fat, and with a
good hand separator, the work and
worry of butter making is dis
pensed with and a. the same time
the net profits are just as large.
To the average western farmer
who is accustom to cultivate broad
acres and get his money in one
chunk and pay it out the same way
for expenses. Dairying on small
scale looks rather insignificant but
it is a matter of fact that the man
who always brings some butter to
town, has the smallest store bill at
the end of the season.
1t is the little things that count
on the farm and the man who
overlooks the little leaks and he
small sources of revenue, will
sooner or later see his mistake
perhaps VIXEN it is too late to save
his home.

COMFORT BRINGS CASE.


s5 There. is direct connection be-
tween the comfort of the" COW and
the cash received by her owner. This
factor of comfort may be made more
important by having combined with
It the additional factor of succulent
feed. This is especially the case
when cowsNare on pasture, in which
case their digestive systems have
adapted themselves to the succulent
nature of the foods. In case of a
storm lasting for days, or of any
mishap that makes it necessary to
take the animals off the pasture, the
substitution for that pasture grass
of dry hay always causes loss in the
aow of milk and in the production OF
butter fat. Every dairyman should
have on hand silage, sugar beets, or
some other succulent feed to help
out the pasture whenever necessary.
The Importance of this is shown by
Tan experience at the Arizona exper-
iment station, as told by the direct
or: The 18th, 18th and 10th days of
November, 1900, were rainy days.
From the day before to the day aft.
er the rains the amount of milk de-
livered at the creameries fell off ten
per cent. In the same time the milk
from our own herd decreased 81 per
cent, and continued to decrease un-
til it had reached so per cent. II
then took the cows month t." get
back to where they were before the
rain. The week of the storm and that
following, two of the six cows had
sugar beets in addition to their pas
ture. During these two weeks the
four cows having pasture alone fell
off 46 per cent. in amount of butter
fat given, while the two having beets
fell off only 20 per cent. Here is
to be noted not only the effect of the
storm, but the effect of feed as we'll;
the COWS having sugar beets during
the storm falling off less than half
rs much in their butter fat as did
those on pasture alone.
