The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1914-10-08

The friend Of Wilson who is not 2
supporter Of Stone for the Senate is
as inconsistent as the follower Of the
Savior who repudiates the apostle
Paul. Stone stands in the same re-
lation as Paul does to the great MAJ
arene, and for q man to proclaim his
faith in Christ and at the same time
refuse to accept the teachings Of
Paul is no more inconsistent than for
a voter to declare his faith in Wilson
yet refuse to vote for Stone, who is
Wilson's right-hand Of support in the
Senate. If you are a Wilson man
you are a supporter Of Stone-it is
the only way a Missourian can vote
for Wilson at the November election.
A vote for Stone is vote for Wilson.
Judge James T. Blair is worthy Of
the hearty support of every Mis-
sourian. He is clean and strong and
worthy Of the judicial ermine and
will make a working member Of the
court. His experience as a member
Of the Court Commission demon
strates his splendid capability and
insures a competent man to succeed
Judge Lamm. In the prime of man
hood, with judicial poise and temper
ament and thorough knowledge Of
The law, he is specially fitted for the
place he seeks and should receive a |
majority at the polls in
November.

GREEN CUT BONE Is
RELISHED BY FOWLS
1t Contains All Elements Found
in Egg From Shell to Center
Saves Grain Bill.

Some years ago a certain poultry
keeper wrote of his success with green
cut bone in flock Of laying hens. All
the extra care this flock got was to
see that they got all the extra green
cut bone they could eat every day.
Laying was heavy, cockerels and hens
grew heavy; it saved other feed. When
next | heard that flock had gone to
smash after couple of years, says a
writer in Twentieth Century Farmer.
Too much pushing. too much green
bone. You cannot give hens all they
will eat of fresh meat, for green cut
bone is certainly fresh meat and fresh
poultry writer was experimenting
with green cut bone and giving re-
suits; then the enthusiasm over green
cut bone died out And yet there is
much to the ACCESSIBILITY of feeding
green cut bone in moderation each
day in certain amounts if you can get
it fresh. as it contains all the elements
found in the egg from shell to center,
while often much of the other animal
matter fed for eggs contains moth
ing of some of the egg elements, and
these must be supplied in other foods.
An ounce of green bone each day is
enough for laying hen. 1t must be
fresh; to feed it tainted means sick
ness in the flock, and soon worse. A
bone cutter is a necessity where win
ter eggs are furnished in large mum.
bers for market; or, if handy to a
meat market. the butcher often dis
poses of his green bone scraps. ready
cut or shaved, and at low prices. An
ounce of green cut bone a day for
each hen saves just that much on
the grain bill.

CHOLERA OUTBREAKS
IN The NORTHWEST
Where Disease Has Not Yet Ap-
peared 1t Is Possible to Pre-
vent Its Introduction.
(By J. w. KALKUS. Washington Expert
ment Station.)

By J, w. KAJKUS, Washington Expert
ment Station.)
During the last year there has been
a comparatively large number of hog
cholera outbreaks in the northwest.
The condition, of course, will continue
to increase unless every hog owner
does his utmost to suppress it. Where
the disease has not yet occurred 1t is
possible to prevent it's introduction.
The disease is due to infection, and
is usually introduced by new hogs from
infected regions being added to the
herd; the infection. may also be car
ried on the clothing of human beings,
by birds, dogs, coyotes and in streams.
The disease is usually recognized by
the fact that the hogs begin dying
suddenly and rapidly.
When an outbreak occurs it is well
to Immediately call veterinarian, pre-
ferably one who is employed for this
purpose by the state. If the disease
proves to be cholera it is advisable to
Immediately separate the well hogs
from the sick ones, and isolate them as
completely as possible. All carcasses
should be burned or deeply buried and
covered with quicklime. All pens,
houses, utensils and feeding troughs
should be thoroughly disinfected with
one part crude carbolic acid to thirty
parts of water.
There is at the present time on the
market a serum which, If properly
made and injected, saves large per-
centage of both the well and sick hogs,
and if the serum can be obtained it is
highly recommended. 1t should be
administered by a competent veteri-
marian.

acres were planted ii a special plat
for seed, to be used for the main
crop the following year. This plan was
followed for II years with potato
which it was said would degenerate
and ultimately run out; but that po-
tato continued to improve during all
that time.
Several years ago Prof. E. r. Ben
nett, specialist in potato work, be-
came interested in the work the writer
was doing and freely complimented
him on his success in potato produc-
ton; but he wanted to take up and
further improve the stock Out of
specially selected seed he selected
perfect tubers and planted them in a
field by themselves, and when the po-
tatoes were ready to harvest we dug
all of them by hand and kept the
product of each hill separate. All
hills that did not have 20 tubers of
uniform size, without knob, crack, or
rough end, were discarded. No hill
was selected unless it came within
these requirements, and surprisingly
few hills were found which passed
muster. Enough were selected, how
ever, to make about two hundred
pounds, and these were planted the
following spring When harvested it
was a most marvellous row of pota-
toes, BY pursuing this method it is
expected that we will soon have a
potato that will make 25 perfect tu-
bers to the hill
Had we bred our Shorthorn cattle
as we have been in the habit of Sc
lecting and breeding our seed pota-
toes, we would now have no breed of
Shorthorns. If we used only the culls
and scrubs to breed from, our breeds
of stock would soon run out. These
breeds have been brought to their
present standard by selecting the best
on scientific principles of breeding.
One reason why potatoes have degen.
Grated in the past is that the potato
growers of the United States have
planted their culls and screenings I'M
der the erroneous impression that
such methods in seed selection would
produce as good results as any other.
In selecting potatoes in the field,
considerable dependence can be
placed on the appearance Of the top.
A large, perfect top, with several
stems of good shape and size, can be
depended upon to have more tubers
under it, and of more uniform quail
ity and size, than a hill with a single
stalk or one with small weak ones.

The natural home OF the potato is
the mountain valleys OF South Amer
lea. Where natural conditions are ia
vorable for. the growth of plant,
there it will reach the highest degree
of perfection In the mountain valleys
of parts of the West are found con-
ditions Of altitude, soil and moisture
naturally favorable to the growth of
the potato, with an almost entire abb
sence of harmful freezes and bac-
terra enemies.
In providing suitable soil for po-
tatoes, the question naturally arises,
How shall we perfect and husband
fertility? Live stock is the real basis
of success in every agricultural dis
trict in the world. The feeding of
grains and grasses on the farm re-
places in the soil the vegetable matter
which produces the humus and fur
nishes the nitrogen that keeps up the
fertility of the soil 1t is utterly i'm
possible to grow good potatoes with
out an open, porous soil
Nothing but the iegumes- or
clover are good-should be used as a
foundation crop. The writer grows
alfalfa or clover-sometimes both
for three or four years previous to a
potato crop. The soil is broken up
in the fall quite deep. Fall blowing
is beneficial for the reason that it
puts the soil in better condition to re-
ceive and store heat from the rays
of the sun than spring blowing. In the
spring the soil should be worked over
with a disk or spring-toothed har-
row until it is thoroughly fined. 1t is
very important that the soil be we'll
fined and firmed in order that the
be able to secure plant food as quick
ly as possible.
Of all the factors in potato growing,
seed selection is by far the most i'm
portant. Some years ago the writer
undertook to improve and develop a
potato along the same lines that he
follows in improving his Shropshire
sheep and Shorthorn cattle, using the
best method of selection and giving
the seed plat the best possible culti-
walton and care in order to obtain uni
formity of product. Since that time
he has been selecting seed potatoes of
the size and type which he wants to
produce. AS Bounce potato is
about ideal in size, seed potatoes of
that size were selected from the bin
in the spring and then four or five
