DODDER IN ALFALFA

The following is from w. S. Todd,
proprietor Of Meadowbrook Farm,
near Colville, Wash, and breeder
of Berkshire swine:
In recent issue of the Home
stead is an article on "Dodder in AL
falfa," with request for the writer
to state what he used to- spray with
to kill the dodder. 1t is barely pos
sible that the writer, whose expert
ences are similar to mine used
different formula, so I, to aid my
fellowman, am only too glad to send
mine with the hope that it may aid
someone.
Three years ago | purchased 100
pounds of seed for eight acres; this
came from Spokane seed company
and, from the sowing, I should
Judge, contained 80 per cent dodder,
5 per cent Russian thistle, and 5
per cent alfalfa seed. It is useless
to try and state how I felt; it (the
field of dodder) was there-a field
of gold. Somewhere, somehow, I
hit on the following method of kill
ing the dodder. Dissolve one pound
of bluestone for every four gallons
of water; see that it is thoroughly
dissolved, and it is then ready.
Spray thoroughly every dodder plant
and the next season, if the work has
been thoroughly done, your dodder
will have disappeared to return
'quoth the raven nevermore.'
Now some wiseacre' may say,
Served the darned fool right to SOW
such Seed For the benefit of such
I will say that | was just from the
city where 1 had learned how to
cross the street, also not to get off
the street cars backward, so wasn't
supposed to know it all when I
struck the farm"

THE GAME LIcks THE cANpER.

A gamecock strutted on the green
AS an old gander. sassy as the dickens.
Kissed like a snake
And cursed the other chickens
When at good old mother hen
He cast a nasty epithet
Raised his great wing as If to strike
And backed it with a murderous threat
That gamecock pranced right up to him
And cried: You low down mongrel Cur,
II you don't quick apologize
And take back every nasty slur
TIL throw your feathers to the wind;
I'll spread your blood upon the grass;
I'll teach you and your british kind
To insult ladies when they pass"
With that the gander rushed at him,
But the games spur pierced his thick
neck
And he fell dead upon the grass.
A bloody wreck
Now, should man stand idly by
When corner loafers women slur,
Allow a woman to endure
Insults from such low down cur?
No! He should take strangle hold
Upon the nasty fellows neck
And with good right uppercut
Make of his jaw complete wreck

kURIos FROM koRREsPoNDENTs

]
Q. What is a good remedy for scab
mites? have two hens here that have
lost the feathers from head and neck
through this pest. and l can't rid them
of it. A. Quarantine affected birds
and wash infested parts with tar soap
and apply sulphur ointment and repeat
applications until mites disappear.
Q. What do you consider the best
guide in feeding? A. Appetite.
Q. What do you think of our poultry
journals anyhow? Don't you think
they make a speciality of advertise
ments? A. While some journals do not
come up to the scratch. the large ma
Ority do. the American poultry jour-
mails being the best and most numerous
in the world. AS most Of them are so
celts per year. this low rate requires
them to take on much advertising to
make a profit.
Q. After running on plowed ground
last spring | noticed some Of my hens
got sick and quit eating for several
days. What do you suppose was the
cause? A. Your hens likely got too
many earthworms. These worms are
oily, and a quantity like your hens
picked up caused Indigestion.
Q. am after a larger pigeon than
the Homer. variety that is pretty.
hardy, prolific and popular. Which do
you advise? A. Carneaux. Many claim
these are more prolific than the Homer.
They are certainly fine and are max
ing more friends right along.
