A FARMERS FOLLY.
(Pine Bluff Graphic.)

(Pine Bluff Graphic.)
A farmer who did all his trading out
of town, and went SO far as to honey
fugle neighbors to do the same thing,
found that in ten years the town near
est his acres dwindled to almost moth
ing and the market value of his land
was reduced 40 per cent!
And not only did the realization Of
his folly after ten years of tearing
down come because he found his land
was reduced in value. An investiga-
ton also showed him that he had been
bilked continually in his far-away buy
ing, as he could have purchased the
same goods at the same or lower prices
nearer home.
Sensible rural residents are begin
ming to realize that to have live town
near at hand is wonderful advantage
in so many ways that it would take a
mathematician to enumerate them.

TREATMENT FOR scAR IN
IRISH POTATOES.

The Scab is a serious disease Of the
Irish potato, and affects both its sale
and edible quality. This disease may
be easily prevented and controlled.
Previous to planting, immense potatoes
in Formaldehyde solution (Formalin)
for two hours, remove, dry, cut and
plant. The formula is, one pint For
maldehyde solution (Formalin) In 30
gallons OF water. This treatment will
prevent Scab forming, provided the
soil has not been previously infected
with the Scab. In such case, rotation
is the remedy. Do not plant potatoes
on infected soil for three or four years.
1t is important that the seed potatoes
be always so treated, even though they
may show no signs of the disease, for
the spores of scab may be present and,
if untreated, will develop in the soil,
and thus inoculate it and multiply the
trouble. "An ounce of prevention Ia
worth pound of cure" Hence the
twofold value of the treatment.-J. G.
Lee, Professor of Forestry and Hort.

THE WINTER FEEDING OF
DAIRY COWS.

The essential requirements for sue
cessful milk production are as follows;
First-Comfortable surroundings. All
Warm-blooded animals must keep up
the body temperature to about 100
degrees. In order to do this, certain
amount of food is oxidized or burned
in the tissues, the amount required
depending very largely upon the loss
from radiation from the body. To
lessen this loss, the body is covered
with a coating of hair which retains
the warmed air. If the COW is allowed
to become wet this protection is lost
and a greatly increased oxidation is
necessary and little energy is left for
the work of milk production, hence the
flow of milk is lessened. 1t is mani
testify more profitable to keep the COW
dry and warm by means of suitable
stables than it is to compel her to
evaporate a large amount of water
from her wet skin by means of the
oxidation of expensive food.
Second-A suitable ration. The natu-
raj food for COW is green grass. Be
fore the milk-producing qualities of
our animals were developed, the COW
produced only enough to nourish her
calf and for this purpose the food from
the grass was sufficient. With the in
creased production came the demand
for a more concentrated ration, con-
sisting partly of bulky foods and partly
of grain. 1t is essential that spring
conditions be maintained as nearly as
possible, which means that some green
or succulent food, such as silage or
green pasturage, should be available
during the winter months. The green
food such as oat, rye or wheat pastures
aid in stimulating the activity of the
