Coal Ashes Kill Hen Pests.

In the spring of 1909 my henhouse,
a small one, but large enough for my
small flock of hens. became badly in
tested with mites. Two large window
openings ON the south side of the
house have no glass, but are covered
with muslin during the cold weather,
and find it well to have the roosting
place protected by muslin curtain
during the cold months. This curtain
was swarming with mites, and remov-
ed it and subjected It to bath Of
boiling water. Then, following the
advice of an acquaintance who keeps
a few hens, i busted all parts of the
house thoroughly with fine sifted coal
ashes and placed supply of the ashc.l
in the house for the hens to dust them
selves with and have kept up the sup
ply ever since. / have had no more
trouble with mites, and the hens keen

infected at the Seeding stage they are
usually killed before the season Is half

Avoid introducing any material into

Guard especially against diseased soil
and diseased cabbage plants.
Practice crop rotations which will al

of cabbage, rutabagas or turnips.
Apply stable manure to the crop
which precedes cabbage, but not to the
cabbage crop itself. If acid phosphate
is applied the same rule would hold.
Lime will more successfully counter

substances. Apply it at the rate Of 100
bushels or more per acre one or two
years previous to planting the cabbage,

the disease has just begun to get a

ADVICE ON SUGAR BEETS.
Cultivation Points Found Good by the
Ohio Department of Agriculture

Cultivation Points Found Good by the
Ohio Department Of Agriculture.
Have good loan land. That which
raises the best corn is the best to raise
beets.
Land must be deeply plowed. We
are after a root crop, not something
that grows above the ground
Use plenty Of seed II you do not get
a good stand you will not get good
crop of beets.
Seed is cheap and is furnished by the
factories at cost price.
Roll the beets well. Roll again.
Watch the hand labor at the time
they are thinning and blocking the
beets. This is important.
Cultivate thoroughly. Do not stop at
any time. You cannot fire beets as YOU
can corn.
1t is the cultivation that puts the
sugar in the beets.
The German farmer says. "You have
to hoe in the sugar"
The land must be thoroughly titled
not because beets will not stand more
water than corn, but because the hand
labor costs so much that the farmer
should not run any risk on land that is
not well tiled.
Beets take a little more Of the fertil-
ity from the land than corn. Accord
ing to Professor Hopkins, it takes 100
| pounds of nitrogen, 1S pounds Of phos-
phorus and 100 pounds of potassium
! for a twenty ton crop of beets. The
| fertility can be returned to the land by
blowing under the tops and feeding
the pulp to cows and putting the ma,
| nure back on the land.
Sugar itself is twelve parts Of carbon
! to one part Of water chemically united
Beets get the water from the rain
that falls upon the ground get the car.
bon from the air through the leaves.
Beets raised on clover sod, the land
OF which has been thoroughly tiled
could make easily twenty tons to the
acre.
Sugar companies now pay $3.50 for
beets testing 13 per cent and 1874
cents for every per cent additional.
The farmer should endeavor to in
crease the yield of sugar in the beet
This they can do by thorough cultiva
ton.
