New Seed Wheat Treatment.

J. H. Wright farmer residing near
Hennessey. 0. T., has made valuable
discovery that will be of general inter
est to wheat growers everywhere.
He soaks his seed wheat in coal oil,
using about one-half gallon to every
twenty bushfls of wheat covering it
over with blanket and letting it soak
over night. He found it equally effec-
tive with corn, using one-half teacup
to a washtub of corn. He finds that it
not only preserves the cereal from rot
ting. but preserves it from insects. Mr..
Wright has practiced this for more
than three years, and his yield has
been a great deal more than that of
those who had better soil for planting.

Water and Solids in Milk.

When the cream Or fat is removed
every 100 pounds of skim milk contai'
about 80 per cent of water and 10 per
cent of solids. The solids contain
about 3.5 per cent of casein and 4.5 per
cent Of milk sugar, with small proper
tons Of fat and albumen as the fat
cannot be entirely removed. The milk
sugar remains in the whey when it sep
arates and the casein in the curds or
cheesy matter, though both contain
small percentages of fat, albumen, etc.
The whey will promote the formation
of fat, while the curds supply the ele-
ments for growth and muscle. 1t will
be an advantage to feed the two sub
stances together, adding bran and sea
son lightly with salt. If the skim milk
becomes very sour and begins to fer
ment it should not be used at all. The
proper plan is to use the skim milk
when fresh or but slightly sour.

Paralysis i'm Swine.

While opinions may differ as to the
cause of paralysis in swine, the fact
remains that in nearly every case
where the disease is found it has been
shown that the hog was largely corn
fed. In the sections known as the corn
belt this disease is more prevalent than
in other parts of the country; more
evidence that corn is at the bottom Of
the trouble Swine afflicted with this
trouble should be given a dose of
epson salts, and after the bowels have
moved freely, fed for number Of days
on slop consisting of wheat middlings
and fiaxseed meal, using milk instead
of water for the mixing. A liberal
quantity of lime water should be added
to each feed. After the animal i'm
proves the ration should be varied con-
siderably, and corn form the smallest
part possible. If the afflicted animal
is with young the pigs should be
weaned at once.

Points on Pruning shrubs.

If those who have shrubbery on their
grounds would but remember the sim
pie fact of the period Of bloom and that
blossoms come on the new growth they
would remember when to prune. The
blossoms on the spring-blooming shrubs
are formed on the wood that was
grown after the blooming season Of a
year ago, hence if these shrubs are
pruned in the spring we simply cut off
the flowerbearing shoots and no flow
ers are had. The time to prune spring
Towering shrubs is just after they have
stopped blooming, So they may have
the rest of the summer in which to
grow the flower shoots for another
spring. The fall-bloomng shrubs
should be pruned in the spring, for
they will then grow the flower shoots
for the coming fall period of bloom.
One can see how simple it is If they
will but remember.

A Hotbed for an Amateur.

A more ambitious method than that
of growing his early flowers in boxes.
kept in the house, may be tried by the
amateur gardener who is also an anna
teur carpenter. A hotbed may be |
at small expense. Old window sash, or
single sash purchased cheaply, and
four boards, one inch thick and one
and one-half feet wide, may be put
together to form the hotbed, the boards
being used for the walls.
Warm stable manure should be put
in the bottom, from one-half to three
fourths of a foot deep, and firmly
pressed down. The bed should be we'll
drained. Light soil, to a depth of one
or two inches should be spread over tho
manure and after one or two days,
when the temperature is cooled down
to 20 or 80 degrees, the bed is ready
for use.
The plants, in pots or boxes, should
be put in the bed. The boxes may be
prepared as for indoor use. with ordi-
nary garden soil at the bottom, and
lighter soil on top. Large holes should
be left to drain the box. The fine seed
should be sprlnkled on the surface, and
fine soil sprinkled over it, and the
coarse seed sown in drills. or pressed
down into the soil, and covered with q
thin layer of earth. The soil should be
gently sprinkled with water as soon
as the seed Is planted and kept moist,
without becoming soggy.
The hotbed should be shaded from
the hot sun, but there should be plenty
of light. The cover of the bed should
be kept on until the seedlings have
started to make good growth. On warm
spring days the plants should be given
fresh air by raising the sash slightly.

NO grander lesson Of the great com

mat which we see manifested through

real selves and our purpose IN life
which is that of uplifting and alleviat

should be a source Of greatest JOY to

Grass OF the Lawn.

Where it Is desired to thicken grass
or increase the variety in lawns on

summer or before a good sod Will be

Cut-worms ON Wheat.

Reports from Canadian and King
fisher counties state that wheat is be-
ing seriously damaged by cut-worms.
The entomologist Of the Oklahoma ex-
periment station has visited fields
where the worms are at work, and
recommends spraying strip Of the
wheat Just ahead Of the worms with
paris green at the rate Of one pound
to 100 gallons of water. The spraying
should be done while the worms are
feeding on the wheat, and. of course,
no stock should be allowed to pasture
on the sprayed wheat.

Working Poultry and Strawberries

Working Poultry and Strawberries
When one speaks of poultry in con-
nection with any lowgrowing plant
most people can see only the scratch
ing birds and the ruined plants, but the
combination has been and is being
proftably carried out. Ii one selects
one of the larger breeds Of hens Tor
this combination the scratching part
of the proposition will be reduced to a
minimum, and If the fowls are not re-
quired to obtain their entire living
from the patch of strawberry plants,
they will do comparatively little dam
age. 1t is, of course, understood that
the fowls are not allowed on the patch
until after the fruit has been gath
cred, but from that time until they go
into winter quarters they Will be ex-
ceedingly useful, for they will take
good care of all the insects, do little
damage in the way of scratching which
can be readily repaired by going over
the plot each day, and their dropplngs
will add materially to the richness of
the plot. If the plantation covers
considerable area it will be good plan
to have several small colony houses on
the plot SO that the hens may have
their own quarters and thus work over
a smaller area. The profit from this
combination is good, and neither will
interfere with the other, especially if
the fowls are raised for egg produc-
ton. Try it on a small scale and in
crease as experience proves it pays.
