the cause of the disease perpetuates
itself in the soil and each year Injuries
the cabbage which Is planted there.
The disease is spread from field to
field by being carried on cultiyators
and the feet of horses, soil erosion,
and by throwing diseased cabbages to
stock on pasture. Guard carefully
against introducing any material into
a field which may carry the germs Of
the club root from diseased fields, and
especially against diseased soil and
diseased cabbage plants.
Practice crop rotations which will
allow at least three years between
crops Of cabbage, rutabagas or tur-
nips. Apply stable manure to the crop
which precedes cabbage, but not to
the cabbage crop. II acid phosphate
is used the same rule would hold.
Lime will more successfully counterfeit
the club root disease than other sub
stances. Apply it at the rate of 100
bushels or more per acre, one or two
years previous to planting the cab
bage.

TROUBLES OF YOUNG CHICKS
Nothing Better for Bowel Complaint
Than Freshly Burned Charcoal
Fed In Any Quantity.

Very often bowel troubles develop
among young chicks, from no appar-
ent cause, and of such serious nature
as to threaten the success Of the early
hatch. While this trouble develops
both with hens and breeders, it is
more prevalent in the latter, Once
this bowel trouble develops 1t spreads
very rapidly.
Doctoring chickens Of any age Is
hard proposition. With young chicks
1t is practically impossible to do
anything for them with any Of the rec
ognized remedies used by poultry
men. For bowel trouble in little chicks
there is nothing better than freshly
burned charcoal. It is pulverized
daily, rolled into a dust and mixed
with the rations given the chicks. IL
is a corrective rather than medicine.
Its value is we'll known in treating
stomach and digestive disorders in the
human body. It's effect is even more
pronounced when used on chickens.
Charcoal Is an absorbent, having
the power to take up the foul gases
in the digestive tract The fresher It
Is the more valuable. 1t can be fed
any quantity, as the birds will not eat
too much of 1t. The only trouble
about leaving 1t in the open is that
after being exposed to the air very
long it loses It's effectiveness to q
great extent. When fed to very small
chicks the quantity had best at first
be limited until the effect is seen and
then the amount can be regulated by
the condition Of TIE patients.
Another good thing for little chicks
is to put some tincture of iron in the
drinking water This acts more as a
general tonic than anything Another
drug that has about the same effect is
potassium permanganate. Put enough
in the drinking water to color it violet

PLAN TO SAVE THE HAY CROP
Farmers Cannot Afford to Allow VaIu-
able Alfalfa and Clover to Be
Ruined by Showers.

Many farmers will be aggravated
by frequent showers during alfalfa and
clover haying. What are you going to
do about It? Are you going to let hay
worth to you as feed from So to SIS
per ton be spoiled by rain?
One cannot always wait for the
weather to get settled. In many locali-
ties 1t does not settle till after haying
is over. Overripe hay is very little
good. 1t must be cut in season, re-
CARELESS Of the weather We suggest
that you get hundred hay caps for
the field and some stack covers II you
stack outdoors. The caps will not cost
very much and II cared for will last
many years. Then you can cover the
hay cocks and let them cure longer
than you would dare If they were left
exposed to rain.
We've got to look more carefully to
saving what we grow, as well as grow
ing larger crops, and this Is a step in
that direction.

DISEASE OF CABBAGE
Injected Plants Show Tendency
to Wilt on Sunny Days.
Club Root Is Spread From Field to
Field by Being Carried on cuItlva-
tors and Feet Of HORSESHOE
tatlon Is Suggested.
fBr H. s. REED. YIrglnIa.l


When a field is badly infected with
disease it may appear at the Seeding
stage, as a dwarfng of the young
plants, but the fields are not usually
badly enough infected the first season
to manifest the disease until the cab
bage is half grown. In districts where
the disease has just begun to get a
foothold, the grower is not likely to
notice any trouble, therefore, until
after the first Of July. At about that
time it will be noticed that the plants
which are being infected show ten
dency to wilt on bright sunny days,
although at night they may recover
and p not wilt on the following day
unless it is again bright and warm.
Such plants may succeed in making
enough growth to produce a salable
cabbage, although it is somewhat I'M
dersized and slightly loose The earlier
the plant is infected with the disease,
the smaller is the head produced.
The agent responsible for the club
root disease is an organism belonging
to the lowest orders Of plant life,
which lives as a parasite upon the
roots Of cabbage and related plants,
like caullfower, rutabagas, fiat turnips,
mustard, etc. AS the plant and its par
aslte reaches maturity the latter ceas.
es active growth and begins the for
nation Of spores which are capable Of
retaining their vitality through the
winter and propagating the disease.
The decay of the cabbage root accom-
plished by bacteria and other forms
of life, sets free these spores in the
soil, and there they remain until the
following spring, when conditions are
again favorable for growth, these
spores terminate, giving rise to an
active organism which is capable of
again injecting a plant. In this way
