CLUB ROOT DISEASE OF CABBAGE

When a field is badly infected with
disease It may appear at the seeding
stage. as dwarf1ng 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 do not wilt on the following day
unless 1t is again bright and warm.
Such plants may succeed in making
enough growth to produce a salable
cabbage. although it is somewhat un-
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 caulifiower rutabagas, flat turnips
etc. AS the plant and it's para
site reach maturity. the latter ceases
active growth and begins the forma-
lions Of spores which are capable OF
retaining their vitality through the win.
ter and propagating the disease. The

Aberdeen-Angus---
Good Beef Cattle
This Breed OF Cattle, Which Formerly
Were Classed Only as Beef AMI
mails, are Now Considered Dual
Purpose Cattle by Many Farmers.

The Angus originated In
Scotland and was first brought to the
United States in 1873. They are raised
extensively in Iowa and Illinois and
many other Of the central states, and
are rapidly growing In popularity in
every section. Large numbers Of this
breed are being raised in Argentina.
BY some breeders they are not con-
sidered to be as we'll adapted to range
conditions as some other Of the beef
breeds. however. They are but slightly
smallers than Shorthorns and they
mature almost as early Cat about 80
months). They~are good feeders and
the quality of the meat is superior to
to that Of the larger breeds It IL
generally believed that so-called beef
breeds are better for beef production
than dairy breeds or scrubs. A com
par1son Of breeds at several expert
ment stations showed no constant diff
ferences in meat production among
beef breeds The comparison in Mis-
souri, gave the Aberdeen-Angus first
place in palatability Of meat and in
all around excellence. ..,. <.

A city market Is very interesting
place to visit. from several points OF
view. The description OF one IN q
city Of 10000 inhabitants 10 mere
given. From three hundred to seven
hundred wagons are at this market
every morning. The market covers
ten acres. The land is divided into
Streets" which are cement walks
along which the wagons are backed.
Tn csc streets are divided into stalls
which are seven feet wide; there are
marks on the cement where the wagon
wheels must be. BY placing the was-
ons properly, in this way, 1t allows q
passageway between the wagons. Ev-
cry class Of growers and every class
OF buyers has a place Of its own. The
hucksters. grocers, fruit growers and
truck growers each have place, and
each must stay on its own street. A
grower is allowed, however. to bring
both fruit and vegetables.
A rental is charged for the stalls. the
renter who pays 80 much a year hav-
ing his permanent place. Part Of the
stalls are covered and these, being the
more desirable. bring larger price
than the open stalls.

TO PRESERVE EGGS.

Ons cup of coarse salt, one cup Of
air slaked lime, five quarts Of water.

In any quantity as low as l2h to is
cents dpzen.
These are not packed eggs nor cold
storage eggs. They can be used at
once. and will be good for months If
kept covered by the liquid. I have
used eggs that had been SO preserved
over year. They are good for any
purpose-to fry. poach. in baking or
custards. though violent boiling In the
shell sometimes causes the shell to
crack. When cooked with gentle heat
at back Of stove the shell does not

A LITTLE POULTRY
GENERALIZING

Each year the poulterer better I'M
derstands the care Of poultry, knows
their wants and has discovered how to
keep them comfortable. The comfort
able hens are the ones that do the
laying.
About thirty years ago when poultry
farming was young, as business, a
cry arose that 1t would not be long
before there would be such a surplus
OF stock that prices would 60 tumbling,
but notwithstanding that there are
ten successful plants today to every
one thirty years ago and the demand
not half reachedi
With the increase Of supply came
the increase OF demand and today we
are no nearer meeting the demand
than we ever were.
However. there is a change In the
market which must not be lost sight
Of. Almost anything in the poultry
line sells. but the choicest prices are
alone given to the fancy goods"
The word fancy" implies more
than appearance. It means also quail
ity. Poultry and egg buyers are be-
coming particular. but they are willing
to pay for their goods II they want
the brown eggs they will not take

We have today quite a number of

1t is necessary for a man to select only
such breeds as will best serve his

would hardly suppose them to be of
the same family. This Is also true Of
the Leghorns. which belong to tho

The disease is spread from field to

and by throwing diseased cabbaees TO

against introducing any material into

the club root from diseased fields, and
especially against diseased soil and

Practice crop rotations which will

DYNAMITE FARMING.

is an advantage to the growers, be-
cause 1t allows them to dispose Of
their produce promptly. The wagons
begin to arrive on the market soon
after midnight.

are in excellent condition. for they are
picked the afternoon before. The

proposition. Some fruit and vege-
tables are sold at retail In small guam
titles. but as the grocers and huck-
sters have the retail trade we'll in
hand, they get most of the business.
OF course this early selling Is Of adj
vantage to dealers, because It allows
them to get their supplies in plenty Of
time for the days retail trade. Most
city people prefer to sleep and call up
their grocer by phone and give their
order for the day than to arise very
early and go down to the market. even
though 1t might greatly reduce the
cost of living, but through these mar
kets the consumers get their fru!t ana
vegetables at reasonable rate from

Texas, last season. marketed 5000
cars Of alberta peaches worth $780,
900. It was the largest crop in the
history Of the fruit industry Of that
section. The crop was handled In an
admirable way, both in the orchard
and on the cars, and by careful dis
tribution found the best markets.
Good prices prevailed throughout the
season. starting with $1.05 bushel
on July s, and closing with e6 cents
on July Is. The first full car shipment
came from Billiard. and sold at the
seasons top price in Philadelphia.
The forwardness Of this district IN
fruit production IL Attributed to the
high elevation and the warm character
Of the rich. red soil Of tho section.
There is no doubt that these influences
have their effects. High lands are
earlier and red soils are warmer. But
the peaches cent to Philadelphia were
fastened to maturity as much by good
care and cultivation as they were by
the soil and altitude.
To prove this, the fact 10 cited that
after these first peaches had been
gathered and marketed at fancy prices
some OF the other growers were just
beginning their harvest and were con-
tent with lower prices.

HOW TO CONQUER
POTATO BLIGHT !,

For several years past potato raisers
the country over have been seriously
troubled by fungus growth which
comes upon the potato vine, either
when the potatoes are forming OF
when they are about half grown.
The disease does its deadly work
within a day or two and It destroys
the entire patch. 1t comes DO quickly
and effectively that farmer may
leave his field thrifty at night and the
next morning find 1t black with decay.
Thanks to the Investigations OF our
agricultural discoveries an efficient pre-
tentative for the blight has been dis
covered. This 70 now offered on the
market at reasonable rates: but, II the
farmer observes the following four
simple rules he will seldom be afiicted
with the black plague:
Don't succeed potatoes with po-
tatoes.
2-Use commercial fertilizer in the

s-Keep the plants strong and
healthy.

soil and gives the plant the best
chance for growth.
A strong and healthy plant is better
able to resist tho attack Of the blight
than the weak, sappy plants; SO. when
the farmer hoes. cultivates, fertilizes
or does anything else to make the
plant grow more rankly he Is helping
to resist the blight.
The direct cause of the blight lies
with the use of paris green. The

The saiient points in the outline for

piece OF land of very even productivity
was to be selected; preparation for
planting was to be made by thorough
breaking and narrowing and the
planting was to be done by drilling
on level land-that Is, entirely with
out ridges After planting, one plat or
series Of plats was to receive absolutely
no cultivation whatever, the weeds and

At the Maine Experiment Station
they select the good layers by picking
up the pullets which soonest show red
combs and begin to sing, as pullets do
when getting ready to lay. and putting
them in flock by themselves. BY
picking out these early layers they got
q flock which averaged $50 eggs during
their first laying year and a flock Of
that kind is good enough for anyone.

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT,

Tankage makes healthy hogs and
gives them, bone and muscle.
Do not keep too many pigs together
and compel them to sleep in one nest
The most economical gains in pig
feeding are obtained by judicious
blending of heterogeneous and carbona-
ceous foods.
Crossing may improve the hogs for
the feed lot alone. but not for the pur-
pose Of perpetuating their kind.
