ton the nature of the product which
he will produce, or, in other words,
the market which he will attempt to
supply with his eucalyptus trees.
Eucalypts may be used either for
fuel or for hardwood lumber. For the
former purpose the prevailing prices
Of wood In most of our cities and
large towns during the past few years
have been such as to make the fuel
proposition appear extremely attrac-
tive. Many glowing prospectuses are
being offered to the public on this
basis. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that the production and use Of
natural oil are rapidly increasing, that
gas and electricity for heating pur-
poses are cheap In the cities and that
all three are coming more and more
into use every day In the place Of
wood. In fact, wood as fuel is rapid

the mind OF the writer no reason for
expecting any increase In Its use as
fuel by tho general public. He there

Weed Seeds In Manure.

II Is well known that there IL con-
siderable risk of introducing new
weeds by the purchase Of manure and
hay and other feeding stuffs. e. l.
Oswald Of the Maryland experiment
station undertook to obtain more def
mite information on this point, espe-
cially as regards dissemination through
manure, by studying the effect Of the
fermentation Of manure handled In
different ways and Of passing through
the digestive systems of animals on
the vitality of various weed seeds, In
Guiding seeds of about fifty Of the
worst weeds found In Maryland.
In experiments In which the manure
remained for six months In barn
yard heap and for a short while In
piles, as when shipped In carload lots
from cities, 1t was found that In the
first case there was no danger and In
the second case little danger Of dis
tributing live weed seeds. In the ex-
periments In which the weed seeds
were fed to yearling steers and the
manure handled In various ways II
was found that
First.--Where the manure was haul
ed directly from the stable as top
dressing an average Of only 1913 per
cent Of the seed fed terminated.
Second.-Where manure was hauled
directly from the stable upon the land
and plowed under % per cent Of the
seeds fed to animals came up.
Third.-Where the droppings remain
ed on the pasture fields unadulter-
ated as they fell an average Of only
mails terminated.
The results indicate that in general
1t is safe to assume that the vitality
pf weed seeds is destroyed In well
fotted manure.

DRY ROT IN CORN.
A Disease Which Threatens to Be-
come q Serious Matter.

A Disease Which Threatens to Be-
come q Serious Matter.
The name dry rot is derived from
the way the ears are affected In the
field. "In general the husks tend to
turn prematurely yellow 20 sooty, and
the esr becomes partially or wholly
shriveled and much decreased In
weight. Sometimes the ears remain
upright with the husks closely adher-
Ing to them. In other cases the shanks
are weakened, and the affected ears
hang limp from their attachment, or
the diseased condition may not be de-
/ tected until the husk is removed"
There are several kinds of dry rot,
due to different causes. The most
common and that which has during
the past two seasons caused about 90
per cent Of the damage IN Illinois Is
due TO a fungus known as Diplodia
maydis. Ears infected with this fun
gus "shrivel up more or less, darken
In color and become light in weight"
The kernels are also shriveled, very
brittle and loosely attached to the cob.
The fungus penetrates all portions Of
the ear, kernels, cob and husks and
produces many dark brown, two celled
spores which serve to propagate the
fungus
In the case Of the diplodia disease
and quite probably in that of the other
forms the fungus perpetuates itself
over winter on the old diseased ears
and old stalks. 1t is not usually diff
cult to find throughout the summer in
old cornfields. where the disease has
previously prevailed, many pieces OF
old cornstalks which are infected with
the diplodia fungus. Stalks known to
be two years old have been found still
producing spores. During moist period
spores ooZe from these stalks In abun-
dance and are blown singly or in
masses long distances, as has been fire.
qnently demonstrated by experiment.
The fungus does not. according to
present knowledge, grow upon any
other host and upon developing corn
only on the ears. Not so much is
known of the other fungi here con-
cerned, but since 90 per cent Of the
rot is due to diplodia less attention
need be given to them. Diseased ears
are fruitful sources of subsequent In
lection and should be removed as
promptly as possible. This can be
readily done, at the time of husking
IL not before. Keep themsin a separate
receptacle and burn them as soon as
practicable. In addition to this. In
fields where any considerable amount
Of disease has been found, the stalks
should also have attention, whatever
crop is to follow. Something may be
gained by carefully blowing them un-
der and leaving them well covered, but
burning may be required even IL this
Is otherwise bad procedure.
II the first suggestion is always fol-
lowed and the others are put into
practice whenever necessity demands
1t, these serious losses may be prac-
tically prevented.

sILAGE FOR MILK cows.
Most Profitable Way TO Feed This
Valuable Ration.
BY M. A. GOODRICH,

BY M. A. GOODRICH
Perhaps there Is more benefit derived
from silage by feeding 1t to milk cows
than by feeding 1t to any other kind
of stock. AT any rate. 1t Is used more
and thought more OF by dairymen than
by any other class of farmers.
Cows should never be fed exclusively
on silage. They need some dry forage
to go with 1t; they need variety. Be
sides this, corn silage is a carbona-
ceous food and needs some more nitrog-
enous food to go with II to make a
well balanced ration. About thirty
or at most forty pounds day of
silage is as much as should be fed to
each COW. 1t should be fed from the
top Of the silo. taking OF about two
inches In depth from the entire sur
face each day. for II 1t Is long exposed
TO the air 1t will be damaged. IL the
feeding commences Immediately after
filling the silo--and this Is good way
to do it--there viii be no damaged
sflage at all. Care should be taken at
each time of feeding to leave the sur
face smooth and even and not pick and
stir It up with the fork. for that will
let In the air and cause damage.
MY way is to feed the silage ration
IN two feeds, both night and morning
and It Is better to feed after milking
because the peculiar odor Of the silage
might affect the flavor Of the milk.
Cows as well as other stock have a

will be astonished to know that the

going out of the market. while the
ground product has reached an enor-

In the culture of the crop also new
tools and methods are being devised
In the southwest particularly 1t has
been found desirable to work the al
falfa over with some shallow working
tool which will chop up the ground
without cutting Off the crop. so as to
prevent its sprouting. A recent bulle-
tin from the Arizona station discusses
this matter. The proper kind Of disk
harrow in that country not only
quickens up the growth Of alfalfa and
destro-s large number of weeds, but
also helps destroy many insect enemies
by turning up their eggs so that they
are destroyed. For some time the or.
binary disk harrows were used. but a
new tool Is now being operated. In
this tool spikes or teeth like those
used on a tooth harrow are fastened
to the disk. 90 that instead Of cutting
the surface, as a disk harrow does
these teeth chop up and turn over thu
