Few subjects have been studied more
extensively than the rust of cereals, AMI
this trouble has been known from the
earliest days. as this disease was men
toned by Virgil. and it was known in,
Britain before 1892, but in spite OF mans
best efforts little progress has been made
in developing specific remedy for this
trouble. Many fungicides and spraying
mixtures have been experimental with,
but none have proved effective as yet.
Wheat rust. as YOU probably know. is
due to the development OF a specific fun
gus. There are al least three kinds OF
rusts known which attack wheat. One
Is known as the Early or Orange rust:
the second, as Crown rust; and the third
as the Black rust. During their process
OF development these rusts pass through
different stages, and their life cycle can
not be completed except through the aid
of certain shrubs or grasses on which
they develop. notably among these Is The
barberry which houses the wheat spor4
at a certain stage Of its development.
Therefore. the destruction OF barberry
bushes is an important matter. Since rust
1 Is such. an old disease and so widely
distributed, there are thousands OF spores
scattered over the country, and even
Wnen rains 90 not occur. neaNY dew some
times furnishes sufficient moisture for
their termination II brought in contact
with the stem Of a wheat plant. The spore
often grows through the stem and multi
] plies, and in from eight TO fourteen days,
/ the rust spots or postules break out
/ on the stem of the plant. Moist warm
weather favors the development of rust,
and under these conditions the progress
/ of the disease is remarkably rapid.
The method of procedure in fighting
! this disease in the present status of our
knowledge is about as followsN Cultivate
! the land thoroughly In the fall and apply
liberal amounts of phosphates so as to
hasten the maturity Of the wheat. Use
good. clean seed Of an early maturing
variety and keep the crop free from weeds
and smut Rotate crops so as not TO bring
wheat on the same land year after year.
and destroy all weeds and trash along
4 the roadside. barberry bushes I'm particu-
lar Do not let volunteer grain spring up

OF wheat which are much more rust re-
sistant than others. Use seed from a
field in your community that is least af-
fected this year. and select the seed only
I from the strong, vigorous plants and re-
! peat this practice from year 10 year, as
this promises 10 be one OF the most eff
fective ways OF fighting this pest.

ing very thoroughly with butter of
anthony or some other caustic liquid
material. After using the caustic Gallo
mel may be busted into the cleft once
daily. This dries up the discharge and
as a rule win cure the disease. Another
good preparation to use is compound
tincture of benzoin and oil of tar in
equal parts. The shoes should be re-
moved and frog pressure given. If the
horse is worked tips" or bar shoes may
be put on, as it is very important that
the foot be kept clean and dry. IL the
horse is run down or debilitated give good
nOurishing food to tone up the system.

direction and can be located with
telescope, stirring up the dust far in
advance Of Harvey. His strong right
arm wields a war club, and toma-
hawk Is discovered fairly clutched in
his left hand. His lips are moving,
and when one gets close enoguh to
hear, which is somewhat dangerous,
one finds he is talking right out loud

doesn't answer the question, but you
can tell from the defiant CLEAN in his
eye that he Is referring to none other
than the titular leader of the United

busy in other directions he ought to

a RECORD PREDICTION.

The Manufacturers Record INDUCES
In bit OF prophecy that is not devoid
|pof interest. The predictions made by
experts in population beginning as far
back as in the decade between 184O
and 1850 were in some cases found to
be singularly close to the mark of the
growth OF the country in that respect.
The Record broadens the field Of
prophecy and includes business devel-
opment as we'll, for q table Of est.
mates Of what would be our situation
in 1918. or ten years after the last
sets Of figures available on those
points came to hand.
1t may be said that It reckons on
108,000,000 OF Americans on growth
In wealth from So billions In 1900 and
1870 billions in 1908 to 176 billions in
1918. 1t estimates the development OF
agriculture in the next ten years to be
practically double that Of last year
and computes the stupendous volume
of fifteen billions for the wealth of
farm products in that year. Exports
and imports OF merchandise which
now amount to three billions are es-
timated to nearly four and a half bill
lions in ten years more, though even
that figure will be below the total of
the imports and exports Of England
at the present time.
The Record estimates the increase
of railroad mileage at $4,000 miles in
the next ten years Taking the gold
production Of last year at s96, 000, 900,
it estimates the national production Of
that metal in 1918 at 1892 100000.
One rather startling estimate is that
the coal mined in that year will
amount to S5O,0O0,000 tons, where to-
day it is less than 5oO,O00,oO0. Such a
must rapidly hasten the
day when water becomes one OF the
chief sources of power for manufac-
turing industry, and emphasizes the
future Importance of Keokuk as one Of
the greatest sources of such power in
the United States.

Love and Death.
Each man kills the thing he loves,
BY each let this be heard.
Some do 1t with bitter look.
Some with a fattering word.
The coward does 1t with kiss,
The brave man with q sword!
Some kill their love when they are
young,
Aud some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands Of
Lust.
Some with the hands OF Gold:
z he kindest use knife, because
The dead SO soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And rome without sigh;
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.
And every human heart that breaks
In prison cell or yard,
Is as that broken box that gave
Its treasure to the Lord,
And filled the unclean leper's house
With the scent of costliest nard.

And cleanse his soul from sin?
How else but through broken heart
May Lord Christ enter in?

BAD ROADS EXPENSIVE.

The Interstate Commerce commits,
sion furnishes some startling figures
| Of the immense waste In the United
States chargeable to bad country
roads. The railroads haul on the aver
age each year 265 900 900 tons of farm
produce, which Of necessity comes to
the railroads over the wagon roads.
In addition millions of tons are hauled
to towns and consumed there without
being shipped on railroads and other
millions are hauled from one farm to
another. There is no way Of ascertain
ing the amount OF the latter two
classes, but common observation indi-
Gates that they are great. There is
also large tonnage hauled from the
railroads to the farms.
According to the commission, the
average cost OF wagon haul In the
United States is twenty-three cents
per ton per mile and the average haul
nine miles, while In Europe the same
haul costs from seven to nine cents
per ton per mile. Assuming these fig
ures to be correct. the Omaha Bee
figures out that this represents q diff
ference on the amount of farm pro-
duce hauled by the railroads of the
enormous sum Of $3.50 .90O, 0D0, which,
with the added cost Of other wagon
transportation, is direct charge
against tie public highway differences
in the two sections of the world. The
accuracy Of estimates OF the cost of
highway transportation. OF course, is
open to challenge, as means for com
putting it are limited, but it is fair
presumption that the commission has
at least appropriated the correct re-
suit.
AS the Bee well says, it would, Of
course, be unreasonable to expect a
country OF such great dimensions as
the United States and so young In de-
velopment, to equal the roads of
Europe, where nations cover less
area, population is more dense and
the existing roadways are tae eyolu-
ton Of centuries, but it is notorious
that American highways receive little
attention and much of that not intelli-
gently directed. Even with. the means
and money at hand great improve
ment could be made and additional in
vestments in highway betterment
would be nost profitable to almost
every community.

Water Transportation.

Chicago Tribune: st. Louis ship
pers say they are ready to furnish
100000 tons Of freight year to be
carried from that city to New York If
company were organized for the pur-
pose. The st. Louis Lumberman does
not see why one should not be- There
is the Mississippi, with plenty of water
In 1t. AS there would be saving OF
S. on every ton OF freight carried by
the water route there would be GER
tainty CT sufficient business to make
the line profitable one.
The Lumberman specifies sertain
preliminary conditions which will
have to be complied with. A consider
able amount of capital would have to
be invested. New boats and barges of
the modern type would have to be con-
structed. The present day Mississippi
steamer is forty years behind the
times and will not do. There would
have to be modern freight handling
equipment so that the costly services
of an army OF deck hands, idle most of
the time, could be dispensed with. II
the facilities for handling freight on
the great lakes were no better than
those on the Mississippi the volume Of
lake freight would be materially dimin-
ished.
The question is whether there are in
the Mississippi valley men who have
the capital, courage, and knowledge re-
u,,trnd for the pr0fitahfe utilization nf
the waterways as they now are. Prob
ably the men now engaged in river
transportation are not suited for the
work. They have not the capital and
they are not open to new ideas. They
cling to the old fashioned ways which
will have to be given up to insure sue

able to convince capitalists that there
is money in water transportation lines
