How Fences Spread Disease.

A doctor holds a postmortem on a
badly infected subject. His knife or
scalpel slips, and he cuts a finger.
Blood poison and death ensue. A tu-
berculous COW is stung by an insect.
She goes to the barbed wire fence and
scratches the itching spot, breaks the
skin and leaves infected blood on the
barbs, which dries. but the germs re-
main dormant. waiting for perhaps a
healthy COW to come along. and she
does and scratches and automatically
inoculates her blood with the tubercu.
losis germ.
This isn't theory. Any surgeon or
bacteriologist will o. X. all the above
as to germ tr~ansference.
A COW "hooks" another, draws blood
with the tip of her horn, which. when
smeared with dried infected blood, is
just as deadly as the sharp barbed
wire.
No keeper of valuable horses permits
a foot of barbed wire on his RANCH
Farm and Fireside.

SWEET CORN AND LIMA BEANS.

SWEET CORN mi LIMA BEANS.
therefore the local grower does not
have such competition as does the
grower of less perishable products.
Sandy or light loan soil, with an
open subsoil, is best for this crop.
The very best seed of the best and
most popular varieties should be pro-
yided. Home grown seed, well select
ed and well cured. will pay big profits
on the cost of labor employed for this
work. The first paintings must be
made early in the season, and seed
only of the greatest vitality will with
stand the ~unfavorable weather condi-
lions that are likely to prevail at this
season.
The cultivation of this crop should
be thorough, and 40 crop will respond
sooner to good treatment.
To succeed in growing sweet corn
for the early market a liberal amount
of plant food must be provided at the
right time and in available form.
This means cover crops and an In
creased use of commercial fertilizers.

Keep the Calves "Coming."

The calves must be kept coming
whether they suck the cows or are
hand fed. Skimmilk calves grow
strong and thrifty if given a chance.
Their milk has to be clean and enough
of it. With it they need something to
take the place Of the cream that is
gone. Corn is a good substitute. Oats
help also. Ground faxseed in the milk
is fine. but it costs too much these
days. For ~cheapness and results corr
and oats crushed together or just plain
corn coarsely ground and fed dry are
hard to beat.-Iowa Homestead.

s~paniard's Methods May Be Good For

From Spain comes the report of a
Spaniard who grew four crops of po-
tatoes on the same land in twelve
months. The potatoes were grown I'M

ground was fortified with horse ma
nure.

crop. Scotch seed potatoes, planted
Feb. p and dug May 10, 1912, large
size and much better than those Of
preceding crops; fourth crop, Spanish
seed potatoes, planted May % and dug
Aug. 10, 1912, poor yield and potatoes
small.
The grower attributes the poor quail
ty of the last crop to inferior seed, lack
of water for irrigation and to several
very hot winds that prevailed in July;
but, as in other years, the crop of this
same period has been a good one. the
low yield of 1912 does not detract from
the feasibility of the plan.-Rural New
Yorker.

Handle Manure Once Only.

1t should be the rule never to handle
manure more than once, When re-
moved from the barn or feeding shed,
it should be loaded at once into the
spreader and hauled to the field. II
the farm is small and the amount pro-
duced is only at the rate of n or two
loads a week. the convenience and i'm
provement of taking it directly from
the stable and spreading it at once on
the field will certainly Justify driving

GOOD CHEESE MADE

In bulletins from the Wisconsin ex-

from buttermilk was pretty fully de-
scribed, say Hoard's Dairyman. This
caused somewhat of a stir in the dairy
world. and since it results in the utili-
zation Of large quantities Of butter

worthy Of consideration.

Hand or Power SPRAYING?

Hand spraying is more expensive
than power spraying. The cost varies
much in different cases. depending on
the efficiency Of labor, convenience
and other essentials, and much de-
ponds on the apparatus used. The
pump should have capacity to main
tain high pressure. and the nozzle must
throw a fine spray. The requirements
are the same for every kind of spray

A man who could invest a
quarter and get back a dollar
and a half would think he had
struck a good thing. That Is
about what a farmer can do In
the handling of manure. TWEEN
ty-five cents worth Of acid phos-
pilates added to the stable ma
nure will return $50 cents worth
of crops. The Ohio experiment
station has proved it. many
farmers have found it to be SO,
and yet most Of us fail to invest
the quarter or make the wors
mistake Of failing to care for the
manure at all.-NatiOnal Stock

Why Keep "Robber Cows?"

1t is as impossible to estimate the
productiveness and value of a COW as
it is to guess the exact number of
bushels of corn a certain field will
yield. The scales and a Babcock tester
when rightly used will accurately de-
termine whether any of your cows are
grafters just as surely AS a pair of
farm scales will show the exact yield
of corn. Don't put up with a 'robber
cow."-Orange Judd Farmer.

DO YOU GROW SWEET CORN7

No Crop Responds Better to Good

Every truck farmer knows that the
first early sweet corn in the market
pays as great a profit as any crop
grown.
1t is usually sold by the hundred and
marketed in sacks containing that
number of ears. The fodder remain

INDIGESTION In Calves.

Indigestion in older calves is usually
due to unclean milk or feed, unclean
vessels, close confinement in dark, in
sanitary stalls and irregular or exces-
sive feeding. In some cases 1t appears
to be due mainly to sheer weakness
and inability to digest.

A good COW, well fed and cared for,

EVEN IN INDIANA.

One Bill York, who married Il
Perry county girl, is engaged in
the work of publishing the Hay
ii Herald, at Hayti, Mo-. and a
glance at copy Of his paper
shows you that York alone is run
ming that paper. In the spring
York opposed the "frame-up" of
a specially selected municipal
ticket by the powers that be- in
Hayti and his county. He fought
them to finish, but while he
lost at the polls, he came out vic
tor in the end. The laws of Mis-
souri, prevent any man who is de-
linquent in city taxes from hold
ing city Office. York knew
where he was at, and when it
came time for the officers elect
to take their oathS of office, York
was in their way, with the cold
old law behind him. The result
was that one of the fellows re-
fused to take the oath of office,
one paid his taxes in an effort to
evade the law, and another took
the oath regardless of the law.
But York was right, and he is
still running the Herald, however
he lost a few delinquent sub
scribers. Enquirer, Cannelton,

Hayti is soon to have a new

appear that some of the Haytians
have it in for Editor York of the

why, either. York has been Civ

reasons to believe that the people
