HOW TO FUMIeATE HEN HOUSE
Building Should Be Closed Tightly
and All Fowls Exeluds5-Be
Careful Of Poison Used.

Fumlgation is a means of reaching
germs and insect life in the air OF
he room and in the cracks and cram
nies Of the wood work, says the Guilt
yator. The house or room should be
lightly closed and all fowls excluded
during fumigation. A simple method
Is to burn the sulphur candles now
sold at stores dealing in poultry sup
plies. The fumes of birthstone may
also be produced by burning in a
metallic basin (such as an old iron
kettle) a number of rags previously
soaked in melted sulphur. Sulphur
may be mixed with a little alcohol or
kerosene oil and burned, or it may be
sprinkled upon live Goals placed in a
chatting dish. The house or room
should be kept closed for several
hours and then opened as thoroughly
as possible to allow the wind to drive
out any remaining trace OF poisonous
gas. In fumigating by burning sub.
stances be careful not to set fire to
the building. Remember also that IN
most cases the substances which are
used are poisonous to human life and
10 fowls. Carelessness in their use or
IN leaving them about where chick or
child can get at them may have dire
results.

COOPERATION Profitable
FARMERS WHO COOPERATE HAVE
MANY ADVANTAGES.
BY c. E. Brashesr, College Of AgricuI-
ture, University Of Missouri.

We compliment ourselves upon the
prosperity Of our farmers. But the
prosperity of the farmer Of today is
not thing to wonder at The Won
der would come If he were not pros
porous. Remembering the wealth
stored in the soil we till and the mar
kets We have at our disposal, what
people would not be prosperous under
our conditions?
The question Is, are We as prosper
Gus as We should be? Are we perma-
nently prosperous?
One thing we need, and what we
are coming TO, is united effort, work
ing together more. The farmer is
placed at a disadvantage in his deal

OF business of one farmer is not of

his products or sell supplies to him

Such united actlcn would make pos

of the results of united enort among
farmers. It would make possible co.

Selecting the Seed Corn
A Missouri Boy Who Realized Big Returns

College of Agriculture. University OF Missouri

This is the experience of a wide.
awake student at the Missouri Col

He knew that corn for the following
crop should be gathered before it was
injured by the cold weather Since
there was no one available to do the
work in a satisfactory manner he
made several trips home to New Flor
ence, Mo, and spent those Saturdays
in selecting good sound ears of corn

grains we're tested by placing them in
squares in a moist sawdust box and
covering them with n wet blanket.
The rag doll" method Is one OF the
simplest and easiest means Of testing
corn and produced faster termination
than the sawdust box, The latter is
harder to geep under even conditions
of moisture and temperature. The
old seed germinated slower than the
NV corn, because it was drier and
harder, making it difficul; for water
to penetrate to the germ.
From enough seed TO plant forty
acres only one ear failed to give 100
per cent termination. The results are
quite above the average for last year,
which was very hard on farm seeds,
