ALL SORTS OF CONTESTS.
Corn Growing Not the Only Thing In
Which Experts Are Interested.

So successful have been the corn
growing contests i%naugurated by the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton hat action has been taken by Of
f1cials looking to the starting of all
kinds Of competitions and demonstra-
lions in agriculture and home econom-
les. No less than twenty-eight kinds
Of contests have been proposed, and If
the idea bears fruit, as did the corn
growing contest scheme, the farmers of
the United States, their wives, sons and
daughters will be working for prizes in
almost every line of their daily activ-
tiles.
To further these new plans the de-
partment has issued a booklet which
points out the advantages of contests,
gives a list Of competitions, provides
forms for regulating entries and tells
the steps to be taken to make the con-
tests a success.
Improved methods and greater eff
cheney are the direct results Of such
contests. Through the corn growing
competitions that have been held in
almost every part of the corr belt it
has been demonstrated that more than
227 bushels of corn may be grown OH a
single acre Of ground. Without i'm
provement in the methods of corn Gull
tivation this astounding result could
never have been accomplished.
The department advises, however,
that contests, which are to reach large
numbers and cover some period Of time,
be we'll outlined and thoroughly organ-
lied. 1t is suggested in particular that
young peoples contests should be or
ganized in connection with the schools,
thus obtaining the support of the teach
ers and school officials.
AS to the nature Of the premiums,
that is essentially a matter for local
consideration.
Here is the list of competitions
which the department outlines for
those who are interested in the work:
Contests in growing corn, wheat, sug-
ar beets, cabbages, onions, tomatoes,
potatoes, melons, pigs and in produc-
ing eggs and milk; also in stock judg-
ing, weed and weed seed collection,
ALTERNATING and breadmaking, fruit
canning, insect collecting, farm plan
ming, sewing for girls of various ages
and for women, home decoration and
furnishing, cellar planning, kitchen
planning, household expense accounts
and compositions on homes and flower
garden making.-New York Times.

homemade solution should test about

to the trees.
AS the San Jose scale is an armored
insect protected by a waXy covering,
very caustic material must be used in
its control. In order not to injure the
tree this material must be applied
while the trees are dormant; hence all
spraying for the scale must be done
during the winter months. Any time
when the weather permits, from No
vember to March. will be satisfactory.
The commercial l%ime-sulphur should
be diluted at the rate of one gallon to
nine Of water and the homemade So
luton diluted at the rate of one gallon
to six of water.
AS the lime-sulphur solution is a
contact insecticide, every portion of
the tree should be coated. If the scales
are to be killed they must be struck
with the spray solution. Great care
should be exercised in the application
of the material. as those scales not
killed can reinfect the whole tree in
one season.

San JOSE SCALE.
Lime Sulphur Best Agent In Com
batting the Pest.
EASY TO MAKE IT AT HOME.
This Solution When Properly Applied
Will Rid Orchard Of the Insects.
Care Must Be Taken to Cover Every
Portion Of Trees.

The San Jose scale IS now found in
almost every part of the United States.
This pest was imported from China
and thus has no naturcl enemies in
this country. Wherever man does not
combat it the scale multiplies uncheck-
ed until the trees on which it is found
die. Most of our old home orchards
have passed out of existence by way
OF the scale route. This loss Of good,
healthy bearing trees, says Fruit Grow
er, is a ~preventable one, and some of
the very effective remedies should be
applied in the earlier stages of the
scale infestation.
The best remedy for ,he San Jose
scale that has yet been found is lime
sulphur wash. This material can be
either bought in the form of a COM
mercial mixture or made up at home.
When bought it should be one of the
high grade articles and should test bet

made material can be made by cooking

the following reply:

ROOFING HABIT IN HOGS.
Should Be Checked Especially In Case
Of Brood Sows.

onou'd Be Checked Especially In Case
Of Brood Sows.
Attention has been called to the fact
that nature has provided the hog with
IAN appendage of independence so
that if all other sources of food supply
are cut off he is able to root for a
living" Considered from the stand
point Of healthfulness little opposition
can be raised to allowing hogs to turn
over the soil because of what they can
find in It. They are seeking roots and
srubs, and incidentally they obtain a
certain amount of mineral matter that
no doubt fills an important function in
nature.
No objection could be taken under
any circumstances to having hogs stir
the soil We're it not for the fact that
on our high priced land we cannot af-
ford to have vegetation ruthlessly de-
stroyed, as is often the case where no
attempt is made to check roofing. In
deed. few farmers are able to supply
hogs with such an extended pasture
area that they can afford to have even
a few acres turned upside down. and
because of this the practice of ring
ing hogs is rapidly increasing in pop
ularity.
We have known instances where
roofing became a mania with brood
sows. 50 much so that they spent prac-
tically the entire day turning over the
sod. AS a result of this kind of effort
they generally became very much run
down, and Of course the little pigs
suffered, because in this case a ire
mendOus amount of energy was spent
in the wrong direction. When sows
get started on a campaign of that kind
there is only n thing to do, and that
is to ring them, and rinG them some
what severely.-IoWa Homestead.

How 70 Get Rid Of Weeds.

Sucker weeds. jimpsons, the rank
horse weeds. thistles and other pests
that ruin the appearance of 10000
barn lots during every year. are easily
killed out if attacked during the late
summer just before the time for them
to seed. The rich dirt around the
barns makes their growth a certainty,
and they get worse yearly unless they
are killed out every year. They should
be cut, allowed to dry. and then raked
up and burned.-Farm Progress.

of a railroad running through
of Don Jose Miranda. On the evening
Of my arrival on the ground received
an invitation from him to make his
house my headquarters. Had l been
older ! migl:- have declined to place
myself under obligation. but in youth
one is not so likely to refuse favors.
Nor is one at that age prescriptions
in love. Don Jose had a pretty daugh-
ter, bona Ysabel. who was heir to a
considerable portion of his estate. !,
who had nothing but my profession
and not much income even in that,
should not have listened a moment to
the temptation to make love to this
heiress. When a youngster wishes to
do the right thing in such a case he is
apt to beat the devil about the stump
by showing his heart to the girl in
some covert way. l beat the devil
around the stump not only as a salve
to my conscience, but because l vas
not afforded an opportunity to make
love openly. Besides, l had no reason
to suppose that the young lady would
respond, and to think Of receiving a
snub from her for proffered love quite
took my breath away. Prudence die
tated a plan that was noncommittal.
l never saw bona ISABEL alone. but
l passed many evenings at the house
in company with the family. One even
ing l took a dictionary from the library
on pretense of looking for the Spanish
for a word l wished to use. Don Jose
was in the room with others. and Dona
YSabel was looking over my shoulder.
There is a story that a courtier who
aspired to the favor of Queen Eliza
beth of England wrote his aspiration
and his fears on Il window pane with
a diamond and received his reply in
the same way. The message and re-
ply constitute a rime and are familiar
to most people who have received a fin
| ished education. Whether Dona Ysabel
had ever met with them I did not
know. While turning over the leaves
Of the dictionary I stopped and held
my thumb for awhile on the word
"fain.' Then. carelessly turning over
the leaves. l suffered it to remain on
the word "would." In this way I indi-

If your garden needs humus
and stable manure is hard to OBJ

Each days digging of potatoes
should be taken off the ground
or put in bags, as the effect of

COMMON SENSE I'M
MARKETING EGGS
BY PROF. J. c. HALPIN,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.

j The egg trade of Wisconsin will re-
main in an uncertain state until CO.
operative means of selling are adopt
ed. In Denmark the problem has been
solved by the establishment of
circles" The members OF each of
| these circles are required to deliver
to the collector all eggs produced by
their hens except those used for home
consumption or setting, or those found
in stolen nests. The eggs must be
carefully collected every day, and in
the hot season twice day Only
clean eggs may be delivered and they
must be kept protected against the
sun. rain and frost by the members as
well as by the collector. Each egg is
stamped with the number OF the mem
Der and of the article. Provision is
made for the strict enforcement of the
rules of the circle"
For Wisconsin the circle plan of
marketing eggs might not prove very
feasible, perhaps, but the creamery
certainly should be able to do some
thing. Few creameries collect less
frequently than every other day; In
stead of taking half load, on many
routes thsy might as well utilize extra
space fc.. hauling eggs. These eggs
could tLeI. be sorted at the creamery,
put in fancy cartons and sold TO the
select trade at a reasonable profit
Some sort of rules would be required,
however. to force the farmers to de-
liver only good eggs.
Milkmen, also are waking up to the
opportunities In retail egg trade. At
the same time that they deliver the
bottle of milk or cream at their cns-
TONER'S door. they also deposit a car
ton Of eggs. Many housewives are
willing to pay extra for eggs they |
know 70 be fresh
Take up this subject Of cooperation /
with your local creamery now.
