Reports from European capitals seem to indicate
that the old. old anxiety any attempted parcel
ing out of Turkey is about to materialize.
The leading powers are beginning to eye one an
other suspiciously and none of them cares to take
the initiative in bringing the Balkan disturbance to
an end. Indeed it'is hard to see how any one of
them all Of them together. can go very far toward
settling the war save on terms agreeable to the Bal

The latter insist that they have won their right
and are entitled the fruits of victory Turkey is
suing for an armstice. but she will doubtless con-
tend that she should be left in control of greater
portion Of her present European empire and GER
tainly in control of ConstantnOple.
It is the very weakness of the Ottoman power
that has made her acceptable to the larger European
nations as the mistress Of the Bosporus Such
strategic passageway would never be willingly en-
trusted to Russia or to any other of the more aggres
sive powers and it is the belief of diplomats that
whenever there is any effort on the part Of such
power to gain control of the Bosporus widespread

For these reasons western Europe has preferred
that the Turkish situation remain untroubled. But

The BIG POULTRY SHOW.

Fanciers in every part of the country looking
forward to the Southern international Poultry Show,
which is to be held in Atlanta at the Auditorium,
December 1921.
A number of entries have already been made, and
there is reason to expect that the opening day
fully five thousand birds viii be exhibit.
In the 1911 show there were more than four thou
sand entries and all Southern records for expositons
of this kind we're surpassed. But the 1912 exhibits
promise to be still more numerous and varied
Last years show bestirred this State and section
to remarkably keen interest in poultry culture The
public was made to realize never before how ad-
mirabIy adapted is the South, 10th as regards to
climate and general resources for the profitable pro-
duction of poultry.
In addition to this, the country-atIarge was
awakened to the fact that here in the heart of the
South poultry enterprises of farreachng character
were being successfully undertaken. The scope and
magnitude Of the show attracted the notice Of breed
ers in divers parts of the Union and in Canada.
Because of these circumstances the 1912 show
bids fair to arouse more enthusiasm in the South
than did its predecessor and also to draw at
tention from the country-atlarge
Every detail of the exposition is being carefully
worked out in advance. Exhibitors will be assured
of the most painstakng and intelligent of their
birds and the public will be assured of the most en-
gaging show of it's kind ever presented outside of
Madison Square Garden.

Little Farm Hints.

Never mix sun slaked lime with ma
nure, as it will cause the escape of am
monia, one Of its most valuable ele-
mentS.
Clean out the chaff and hayseed on
the barn floor and scatter it over bare
places in the lots and pastures. This
scattered seed represents good money
value, and it should be put to good pur-
pose.
If you want spinach for use in early
spring, at the time when dandelion
green's are ripe. SOW seed in September
or October. Frequently it does not
winter well, especially if not protected
by covering lightly with litter.
Where practicable the fruit orchards
should be planted in autumn. Among
the principal advantages are leisure
time, better physical condition Of soil
and the early establishment and conse-
quent earlier growth of trees. Owing
to its less hardy nature the peach is to
be excepted from the fall planting.

MAKING
FARM

"O grasp the idea Of money making
through selecting the better types
of live stock farmers need to
learn the story of Banostine Belle de
Kol, queen Of the dairy world. This
Holstein COW, now five years old and
owned by Dimmick & Bro, Ohio breed
-ers, produced last year 1904 pounds
of milk testing 3.S6. per cent fat This
means over nine gallons of milk per
day, or enough to supply thirty-six fam
lilies each with a quart Of milk daily.
1f made into butter her fat production
would equal 1,322 pounds Of butter, or
over three and one-half pounds per
day for 365 days.
This is all the more remarkable be-
cause it was made without her being
dry at all before freshening. No other
cow has ever produced such an enor-
znous amount Of butter fat in yearly
sfest, and only one has exceeded Banos-
1ines milk record.
Banostine Belle De Kol is a strong,
vigorous COW Of wonderful capacity
and weighs in the neighborhood Of
1000 pounds. She is the daughter Of
Banostine Belle. who was a grand
daughter Of Euphrasia A, one of the
greatest foundation COWS the breed
has ever produced. The sire Of Banos-
time Belle De Kol is Friend Hengerveld
DE Kol Butter Boy.
During the time that Banostine Belle
de Kol was in the test she received
nearly if not all the time more or less
~eRsilage and alfalfa. When available
she received roots and mixed grain ra-
ton, the foundation of which was bran
oats. She was also fed some dried

Knot Of plum and from gals on oak

Its life history and habits probably
parallel those Of the codling moth. 1t
IS known to be present quite generally
= in orchards from Canada south to
Georgia and west to the Rocky noun
tains. 1t has been found abundantly in
apples in the Puget sound district in
Washington and is known also from
British Columbia.
The schedule Of treatments recon-
- mended for the codling moth will be
4 effective in the control Of this species.
The treatment for the codling moth
DIS limited almost entirely to spraying
ahe trees with arsenicals, such as paris
green or arsenate of lead The latter is
now principally used. In the east the
poison is usually combined with a
fungicide. In some sections banding Of
trees is also employed and under spe-
cial conditions is a valuable adjunct to
spraying. From two to five spray ap-
plications are given, according to the
section Of the country and the season.
OF all treatments the first is much
the most important This is given as
soon as the blossoms have fallen and
has for its object the placing Of poison
in the calyx cup Of each little apple.
This treatment may be successfully
given during the eight or ten days be-
tween the dropping Of the petals and
the closing Of the calyx lobes.

TWO WAYS WITH HOGS.

Care Taken With Animals Repaid
Owner In Amount of Pork Yielded.
The results of different treatments
Of hogs came to my notice last spring,
when a neighbor sold two average pigs
eight weeks old to a man who did not
have any other hogs, says West Vir-
ginia correspondent of the American
Agriculturist He bought the two hogs
to make pork the next fall and, Of
course, wanted to give them a good
chance to do their best They were fed
wheat middlings, milk and scraps from
the table, in addition to the pasture
they gathered. They were grade
Chester Whites. farrowed in April.
These two pigs dressed between $50
and 175 pounds each when about seven
months old.
The pigs that had not been sold and
out Of the same litter were allowed to
run on pasture, and when corn was
ready to feed they were fed enough
corn to put them In pork condition,
but when slaughtered at about the
same time as the other two they only
weighed sixty-ive to seventy pounds
each. There was difference Of nearly
100 pounds between these we'll fed
hogs and their mates not so fed, and
it was wholly due to different treat
ments. 1t is easy to see which was the
more economical pork producer-the
well cared for hog or the one which
got enough feed to barely live until
fattening time. The difference in value
was almost $40, as pork sold at 10
cents pound here last fall. The two
well cared for hogs did not eat near
$40 worth Of feed from the time they
were separated from their mates until
they were slaughtered.

beet pulp, especially when fresh roots
were not available. Her grain ration
from the first was gradually increased
to twenty-five pounds or little more,
but later reduced to as low as nine
pounds per day.
As near as can be estimated, the av-
erage amount of grain fed was twelve
or fourteen pounds daily. She also re-
ceived, when it was available, green
corn with the stalks and also green
clover and any other green feed that
might be available, including feed
from the pasture.
A cow Of fair qualities produces four
gallons Of milk daily. She is not worth
keeping for a dairy unless she will do
this, and remember it takes no more
feed, room or labor for one giving five
gallons than for one giving three or
four.
This reasoning applies with equal
force to other kinds Of stock, but more
particularly horses and swine 1t re-
quires only a little intelligent care in
selection to raise horse that will bring
$3.50 TO $500. whereas $50 to 5000 is
the price of an ordinary animal. The
feed bill is not dollar more.
In raising COWS breeding and selec-
ton will produce animals that will
earn 500 to $150 a year or that will
sell for $1O0 to $500, while the indif-
ferent kind are worth next to nothing.
There is the same difference in breed
ing hogs. The gain comes chiefly after
the owner has produced something a
little better than ordinary. This truism
applies to poultry, fruit and farming
generally.

Sin spite of the fact that the tobac-
CO crop of 1912 is expected to be, very
irregular in yield. though generally of
excellent quality, it is not too late for
the yearly miracle to be worked. To-
hacco is currently and correctly spoken

weed par excellence. and like other
weeds has that amazing vitality and

the despair of agriculturists. 1t may

perhaps the reason why only in Ireland
nave British attempts at tobacco cul-
ture been successful. We know of only
two agencies that can efectually de-
stroy it-night riders and a killing

many took to serving sheepwash with

DESTRUCTIVE APPLE PEST.
Lesser Worm Continues Its Evil Work
Even on Fruit In Barrels,

In bulletin on insects which do Sc
vious damage to the apple the United
States department Of agriculture treats
of the lesser apple worm. The larvae,
st says, do not reach full development
-as early in the fall as those of the cod
Ting moth and may find their way to
barrels with the fruit, where they con-
dnue to feed, often doing considerable
damage. The picture illustrates ap-
