nicely from the operation but DR..

examination it was found that one
bullet had entered his back aud

his intestines in fourteen places.
The other bullet passed through the
muscle Of his left thigh, just graz

nearly impossible.
The shooting was done by Will

gent potato growers unless we follow
exactly the same principle and Sc
lect our seed potatoes only from the
hills which contain large number
of potatoes. While the digging is
being done select the best potatoes
from the large hill only and you
will have choice seed without pay
ing big price for it in the spring.
The question is often asked if seed
potatoes grown in dry land districts
are not better than those grown in
irrigated districts. The question
has been raised because some ones
neighbor got some seed from a dry
land district which produced well
The reason some ones neighbor got
good results from the seed was be-
cause he happened to get seed that
had been selected properly and not
because it was grown on dry land
You can select seed potatoes just as
intelligently as any one. We can
not make farm pay on high priced
land if we use poor seed and we are
mighty poor business men if we con-
tinue to sell all our potatoes at a
minimum price and then turn
around and buy potatoes at perhaps
three or four times that price which
are no better than some of the pota-
toes we sold.
Letting such leaks as this 20 in
any business, whether it be farming
or some other, means inevitable
failure and stopping them all up

WAPATO PEACHES W0RMY
State Experiment Station

The peach crop of the reservation
which earlier in the year was esti-
mated at about 300 cars, will be
materially decreased because of the
presence of the peach borer, a small
worm which enters the peach at OF
near the stem. In some of the or
chards the loss will be nearly half
of the liberia crop, which is now
being harvested. The loss is much
greater in orchards that have been
insufficiently sprayed. A clos t
watch is being kept by inspectors
for wormy or split pit Peaches, a
large number of boxes having been
refused after they had been taken in
the cars for shipment.

horses are apt to overload on new
hay and every feeder should be very
cautious and give only a small
amount at time until the animals
become accustomed to the change.
1t is also well to give every horse
that receives dry feed bran mash,
either wet or dry containing hand
full of linseed meal and a little salt,
at least twice weekly. Such. slight
precautions when neglected often
result in the loss of valuable horse.
The symptoms of collie are no
doubt familiar to all horse owners,
although the symptoms differ some
what with the various forms of the
disease, they may be summed up
as follows:
Pain, which may come on sud-
denly or gradually. If in harness
the horse goes Short" gives way
in the hind quarters. stops, becomes
restless, paws the ground and
stamps, shakes himself, and can be
prevented only with difficulty from
lying down. Later on, he often
totters, groans. kicks with the hind
legs at the abdomen, looks around
at his hind quarters, whisks his
tail, stands over at the knees, arches
his back, stretches the head and
neck, and places the hind feet under
the body. AS a rule the animal
lies down very carefully and slowly
or makes attempts to lie down, but
sometimes may throw himself reck-
lessly on the ground. He may lie
still or roll and kick violently. He
may sweat profusely and bloat and
die within four or five hours from
the onset.
During the onset of an attack Of
collie it is we'll to give one quart of
raw linseed oil. to which has been
added one ounce of spirits of tur-
pentine and two drains of fluid ex-
tract of nux vomica. Feed should
be entirely Withheld for at least
twenty four hours, but allow plenty
of water. If bloat is excessive it
should be promptly relieved with a
trocar by an experienced hand.

FALL SPRAYING FOR
THE CODDLING MOTH

[ find this fall an unusually large
amount of wormy apples, and we
naturally like to blame it to the
spray Or the machine or something
else. The facts of the case are, ]
find, very few ranchers have done
systematic spraying this year. Too
bad, for apples are going to bring
good money this fall. Either they
were too busy cutting alfalfa, or the
crops in the orchards interfered or
the party who did their spraying
was busy, and so on, so that when
the proper time came to spray it
was delayed some s or ten days or
postponed until next time.
Now when nature tells the cod
ling moth that it is time to break
out of her pupea case and lay eggs
she obeys at once, and then when
the sun has Matched that little worm
he kicks that shell off and gets busy
boring into that apple that day, not
tomorrow or next week-he ISM
going to wait for me to cut my al
falfa. His motto is, THE early
worm gets the apple" Another
fact, one pair of worms allowed to
get by me at one spraying will pro-
duce from 80 to 40 worms for the
next brood. "An ounce of prevent
alive is worth a pound of cure"
From the latter part of July on
until the last of September, there is
one continuous brood of worms com.
ing out. For example, if you set a
hen with one egg today and two
eggs tomorrow and two eggs the
next day and SO on, you will have
chickens coming out every day when
they begin to hatch. So it is with
the worms during this part of the
season. Now it behooves the rancho,
to keep his apples well covered with
spray during this time, and with
the rapid growth the fruit is max.
ing it requires that he spray every
10 to 20 days, especially years like
this when the worms are so very
bad. [ would use about Il pounds
of arsenate of lead to so gallons Of
