Handling Manure once Only.

1t should be the rule never to han
die manure more than once. When re.
moved from the barn or feeding shed
it should be loaded at once into the
srreader and hauled to the field. If
the farm is small and the amount pro-
dcced Is only at the rate Of one or two
loads 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 driv-
ing the manure spreader slowly.-or-

DISEASE MAY BE PREVENTED
Fatal MaIady OF Canker Sore Mouth,
Causes Extensive Loss Of Little &
Pigs Every Year.

The loss of little pigs from this dis
ease annually Is extensive, but largely
might be prevented by proper care.
The cause Of the disease is infection
of slight scratches Of the nose, mouth
and gums by what is called bacillus
necrophorus. This germ is present
normally in the intestines Of hogs and
may be found wherever Weddings have
been dropped. The disease, therefore,
Is most likely to attack pigs kept in
insanitary yards and buildings. and
the contagion turks there from year
to year.
To prevent the disease, sows and
pigs should be provided with clean
buildings and yards. Be sure to have

INCREASE in FARM PROFITS
Farmers Make Serious Mistake OF
Spreading Energies Over Too
Large Area, Says Worst.

Ry J. H. WORST, Dean OF North Da-
kota Agricultural College.)
It requires approximately seven dol
lars per acre to grow crop. This
includes interest on the investment,
cost Of seed, wear and tear on farm
machinery, labor, etc. BY adding one
dollars worth of labor to each acre,
there is little question but that the
average profits would be doubled. In
other words. as much profit should be
realized from the one additional dol.
lars worth of labor as is now realized
from the seven dollars worth Of un-
avoidable labor and investment. Con.
sequently If farmers would devote
one-third of their land to growing corn
and alfalfa, neither of which interferes
with the time and labor employed in
farming wheat, and put one-tnird
more labor, thus make available on
only two-thirds as many acres Of
wheat, they would grow more wheat
than where they spread their energies
1 yer one-third larger acreage. The
corn and alfalfa fed to live stock
WOULD insure them a large additional
income, and one that is not often adj
versely influenced by climatic condi-
tons, WHINE the fertility deposited up
on the farm resulting from feeding
the corn and alfalfa to live stock
would vastly improve the productive
moss of the soil. IS, #

SPORTS OF THE FARM
White Plymouth Rock Chicken Is
One of Most Familiar.
Another Interesting and Valuable d.
version Is Development Of PoIied
Durham Breed Of cattie-The
Dwarf Tomato 10 Another.

(By PROF. JOHN WILLARD B0LTEl
The term sport" means many
things to many people. We each
think In our own language and see
the same object IN different colors
from various sides. Sport from the
standpoint OF the man interested in
heredity is an unprecedented and UNI
accountable change OF character in
the offspring Of perfectly normal pa
rents. This change may be slight, or
it may be absolutely revolutionary.
but IL it be a true sport 1t has never
occurred before In the ancestry OF
this particular individual.
The new character may effect one
organ or the whole structure Of the
individual. There is no way Of trac-
ing the causes Of the change and no
certainty that it will be transmitted
to the descendants of the sport.
It is from these abrupt spontaneous
appearances Of strange characters
that some OF. our most valuable va
rieties Of plans and animals have
come. Perhaps one Of the most fa-
n1iliar sports in animal world is the
White Plymouth Rock chicken. This
ariety 10 pure sport derived from
the Barred variety and the pure white
chicks occurred in two or three places
in this country at about the same
time. Fortunately they transmitted
their white color to their offspring and
thus was created a new breed, pure
white in color, and true Plymouth
Rocks in every other characteristic.
Another interesting and valuable
sport is the Polled Durham breed OF
cattle, a hornless breed descended
from the true sports Of the Shorthorns.
The first true polled Shorthorns were
born Of horned parents, but their on
spring were usually horn1ess.
In the vegetable kingdom, one Of
the latest sports is the Dwarf Tomato
which we told you about in a recent
article. It came spontaneously from
tall stock, had full sized fruit in
smaller numbers. and the stalk was
stim enough to support the fruit. It
Immediately became populor and bids
fair to supplant its parent variety for
field use, because it produces more
and better fruit to the acre.
Sports without number have oc-
CURED among the flowers and most
of us are familiar with numerous
cases Of unexpected new shapes and
colorings
Many Of the finest varieties of ap-
pies and other tree fruits are of spon-
taneous origin, and we credit NUM-
Der OF valuable grains and field crops
to the same mysterious forces which
we know not
While giving sports due credit, we
must acknowledge that cross breeding
and careful selection are fully as inn
portant. If not more so. and they are
much more available to mankind. A
great many mutations of character
which are called sports are really
changes due to crossing one charac-
ter with another.

earthquakes il Scotland.

Earthquake shocks have recently
been experienced in the central part
Of Scotland. A tremor was distinctly
felt In all parts Of Bridge of Allan
the other morning, but no damage was
done. Two earthquake shocks were
experienced in Dunblane district early
the previous morning. Generally
sound sleepers were awakened by the
rafting of windows and doors. and
more than one housewife had to gath
or up the fragments OF broken china
IN the morning caused by the shock.
It Is also reported that the pheasants
from the hills had been scared by the
unusual occurrencel as those about
at that time observed them as if in
panic. The shock lasted nearly half
~ minute.

PREPARING SHELL FISH.

After the rest from oysters during
the warm months, one comes back to
them with 4 new relish when the cool
days Of fall are here.
Rroiled Oysters With Brown Sauce.
Dry and season the oysters as for
frying. Have ready q wire Broiler and
a good clear fire; arrange the oysters
on the broiIer and cook a minute on
each side. Put them on hot dish,
add q tablespoonful OF butter, one OF
lemon juice and ~ sprinhling Of salt
and red pepper to each oyster. The
brown sauce is usually that which is
made from the liquor Of the oysters
that are cooked on cake griddle, add
Ing -four and butter for thickening.
A delicious bouillon to serve for
company is prepared thus: Chop iine
fifty oysters, put them in double
boiler and cook slowly for an hour;
add a pint of water, a teaspoonful OF
celery seed, and strain through two
thicknesses of cheese cloth. Reheat,
add butter and salt and serve in cups.
Planned Oysters Served on Toast
Drain and wash the oysters. Have
ready smoking hot spider, throw in
the oysters and add a tablespoonful Of
butter to each two dozen oysters.
Shake often. season with salt and pep
per and add ten drops Of onion Juice.
When boiling hot serve on squares Of
toast.
1t is always wise to throw away the
water In which the oysters are re-
,ceived.
A green tinge in an oyster does not
denote decomposition necessarily, for
often the green food on which they
feed gives them that color.
When preparing oysters, put them
into a colander and pour quart or
two of cold water from the faucet
through them. BY handling each one
the bits Of shell may be discovered
and removed.
Oysters, EscalIoped.-When prepar-
ing escalloped oysters, it is well to re-
member that more than two layers Of
oysters in the same dish will not cook
well. Butter the dish and add a layer
of oysters, then a layer of crumbs, and
another layer Of oysters. Season well
and have the crumbs well buttered.
Pour ON enough milk to be seen be-
tween the oysters and bake until the
crumbs are brown on top.
