DESTROY White FLY
ON TOMATO PLANTS
Department Of Agriculture Rec.
ommends Fumigation With ;
Hydrocyanic Gas.

For white fly on tomatoes the ex-
perts of the department Of agriculture
recommend fumigation with hydro
cyanic acid gas. Special care is ne
cessary for the use Of this poisonous
gas. however, and in some cases 1t is
undesirable or impractical. In such
cases an all-night fumigation with a
tobacco extract is recommended. This
should be followed the next day by a
Swinging with whale oil soap or its
equivalent. The best brands Of whale
oil soap, used in the proportion Of one
to one and one-half ounces per gallon
OF water, have been found to destroy
all of the white flies except the eggs,
a small percentage Of the nearly ma
ture pupae, and from rs to SO per
cent of the adults which escape the
spray by flying from the plants. 1t is
not advisable to syringe tomato plants
in greenhouses at any time. when
avoidable, as Swinging interferes with
pollination and produces a damp at
mosphere which promotes rot, but the
injury by Swinging may be as moth
ing compared with that which is
caused daily by the insects.

MAKE PROFIT WITH
SHEEP on ANY FARM
Properly Cared For, They Have
Fewer Ailments Than Any
Other Farm Animal.

For the man who has rough or poor
land with short pastures, sheep are
much more profitable than cattle.
On a farm Of 100 acres or over, it
pays much better to sell sheep as NUT
ton instead Of stock for other people
to fatten.
Sheep should be graded according to
size, putting the prime ones in lot to
be fed by themselves, and II you are
determined to keep the poor ones put
them in a different lot and do the
best you can with them. Better sell
them, though.
II your ewes drop their lambs and
these are in need Of attention which
their mother cannot give them, dilute
cows milk with about one-third wa.
ter.
There is nothing better for sheep
than clover, except possibly alfalfa.
Some farmers say they do not keep
sheep because they are subject to
disease. which is a great mistake; be-
cause properly cared for sheep have
fewer ailments than any other farm
animal.
No animal on the farm Is an dainty
as the sheep when it comes to drink
ing water. 1t must be clean before the
sheep will touch 1t.
If you have had no experience with
sheep do not buy a ram on your own
judgment, but get some man who
owns sheep to buy it for you. And
don't be stingy in the matter of price.
The big fairs are great object les
sons which the farmer who tries to
keep up with the times cannot afford
to miss.
II you intend to go into the sheep
business better go to the state fair
this fall.

many hog raisers that heavy feeding

While this is not likely, 1t is almost
certain to produce disturbance Of the
digestive organs and prevent that
steady laying on Of fat which is the
aim Of all feeders.
We all know that corn is the most
fattening feed that can be used but
many Of US have not yet learned that
