! in the shot-hole leaf disease of the
plum and less conspicuously 80 on cer-
tain sour cherry trees. These leaf
troubles are commonly very evident
during rainy seasons and are prevent
able by spraying the foliage of the
diseased plants at repeated intervals,

A leaf-spot disease of the tomato is
sometimes very damaging. Like most
leaf-spot troubles which are strictly
due to parasitic fungi, this tomato dis
ease has been worst in seasons of
abundant rainfall. The same applies
to the shot-hole disease Of the plum
and the allied leaf-spot Of the cherry.
The explanation appears to lie in more
favorable conditions for spore germ
ination and for the growth or spread
of the parasitic organisms which pro.
duce the diseased conditions. Biting
or sucking insects also open the way
for the entrance of parasitic diseases,
Leaf-spot of tomatoes Is an outdoor
trouble. 1t may be successfully pre-
vented by about three thorough spray
ings with Bordeaux mixture.
Current leaf-spot causes immature
dropping Of the foliage; in some cases
the leaves drop even before the fruit
has ripened.
Bordeaux mixture is effective against
this disease, though late applications
may render it necessary to wash the
fruit. For this reason spraying should
be done very early.
The progress made in plant disease
throughout the world dur
ing the period of about 26 years which
has elapsed since the discovery Of
Bordeau mixture in France shows how
we'll adapted that discovery was to
the needs of the times.
The progress made in recent years
n the study and control of plant dis
eases has been made possible by the |
agencies recently developed in the
United States in the Agricultural COL
eges, the Agricultural Experiment

Tho term "disease'' as applied to
plants, means any change in that plant
toward reduced vigor from the ordi-
nary or average behavior. When a
plant shows any deviation from the
regular behavior Of that plant in re-
spect to appearance, growth. color of
bark. foliage. fruitfulness. time of
dropping leaves or length Of life, In
short, when the plant fails to conform
to those averages which have been
established by extended observation

the plant is said to be diseased"

WHEN 10 SELL HOGS FOR PROFIT

ence Of over 20 years in raising hogs
for the market.
! Different localities and different
feeds make a great deal more or less
profit in the keep Of the hog. Some
feed too long and consume part Of the
profit, while others feed not Ions
enough or literally enough to make
what they ought to make.
run all my hogs on alfalfa from
birth until sold. either for breeders or
for the packer, and as soon as they
weigh 200 pounds each, or about that,
I sell or kill them.
If you are feeding pure -blooded
hogs Especially If the blood Is red)
they will weigh from ITS to 225
pounds each at six to eight months
of age. I think seven months old is
the best age, and the most profitable
hog we can sell.
The younger you sell, the less risk
Of disease. the less trouble, time and
feed 1t takes. The, sooner you sell,
the more room and the better care
for the next litter.
The cheapest gain Is made while the
pig is small. A pig weighs about
three pounds at birth. With reason
able care it will gain on an average
one-fourth pound a day for the first
&c to 20 days.
So you see it doubles its weight in
12 days, and at 65 cents per bushel
for corn, and $3.50 for 100 pounds for
shorts the first three pounds Of gain
cost about three and one-fourth cents
per pound, allowing eight pigs to the
litter for each SOW.
figure on the rule that 1t takes only
a small amount Of fire to heat a baling
wire, but It would take lot Of fire to
heat 500 pound rod Of iron.
So I say 1t takes but little to make
a pig gain pound per day. But it
takes about eight to ten ears of corn
per day and some slop to make pig
hold its own.
Some men say, II the market is low
feed longer (even though feed is Highly
prices may go up. Others will say.
Feed is high, I will sell. (whi1e they
are not fat) prices may go down."
Don't try to get the market ready
FOR your hogs, but get your hogs ready
for the market. Sell them when they
are fat and not before. Keep the kind
that top the market and you will make
money If feed Is high.
Registered hogs gain faster, bring I
more money for the feeder, and make
more pounds Of meat out Of the grain

spotted, curled or discolored, or may

develop unevenly or be marked by de-

While most Of these troubles or dis
eases are caused by parasitic insects or
parasitic fungi, some are caused by a
variety of other agencies.
The manner Of disease attack is ex-
tremely varied and the conditions set
up as result of disease are accord
ingly Of many different kinds We
learn to recognize disease by the
symptoms shown in the plant; these
symptoms will at times be readily in
terpreted and on other occasions they
will prove misleading. Nothing is
palmer than the necessity for con-
tinuous observation of growing plants

terpret the symptoms Of disease.
When the leaves Of a plant are at

the essymptoms Of parasitic leaf diseases
are usually localized injury resulting in
spotting and often in browning Of the
leaf parts.
Leaf-spot symptoms are everywhere
abundant and are really Of very di-
verse origin. In any example in which
ths leaf tissues are locally invaded by
parasitic fungus we may expect evi-
dent effects. In the downy mildew
troubles there may be wet-rot symp-
toms when the weather is moist. as. in
the case Of late blight attacking po-
tato or tomato leaves; after the leaves
have become badly diseased they may
appear to die very suddenly because
the gradual invasion of the area has
been overlooked. In many other leaf
diseases no such rapid multiplication
or reproduction Of the parasite is pos
sible and limited dead patches or spots
are the result. The leaf-spot disease

apple and the conspicuous leaf-spot Of
