quent disinfection the disease may
sometimes be limited to a few indi-
viduals.
If the Matching is done in an incu-
bator and there is reason to suspect
that the disease may develop, it is
well to divide the trays and the
breeders by light partitions so that
not more than four or six chicks will
be in one lot and exposed to each
other. If white diarrhoea appears in
any of these lots, such lots may be
removed and the places which they
have occupied may be disinfected.
After four or five days the partitions
may be removed and the healthy lots
of chicks put together. In this way
the greater part of the chicks are
protected against the most common
form of the disease"
Salmon says the medical treatment
of affected chicks is impracticable, as
it is too expensive and has very little
effect on the course Of the disease.
The birds may be given sour milk or
buttermilk to drink, or, lacking this,
Is grains of powdered catechu may

Improving The Farmers Credit
And Giving Him Finance
Methods By Which the Individual Can Make Productive mpro
Favorable Terms

furnished not by the farmers them
selves but by an outside interest. AS
the plan was developed in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, this outside interest
consisted of local business men who
were in their way as much concerned
as the farmers with the general i'm
provement of agricultural conditions
in their regions. Under this plan the
business men subscribed certain per-
centage of the funds loaned with the
understanding that this was to con-
stitute a guarantee fund to protect
the bankers. Otherwise the plan was
in its essential principles like that
adopted in Montana.
None of these methods require more
than temporary organization. A
permanent cooperative credit associa-
ton is, of course, a different matter,
which has, however, many advantages.
Such associations encourage habits of
saving, afford training in business
methods and may establish collect
i've fund for common agricultural pur-
poses as well as providing loans to
their members on more reasonable
terms than they could obtain individ-
ually. The fundamental principle of
their management is that no loan
must be granted unless the committee
in charge believes that the member
and the association will both be bene-
fitted. The funds for the loans may
be secured through payments on
shares, through deposits, and by Dor
rowing from outside sources. Associa-
tions doing business of this sort, how
ever, are subject to statutory regula-
tons and it is, of course, important
that these regulations be understood
and observed by the management.
A cooperative credit association
must not be considered as in any way
substitute for other banking institu-
tons, but rather as an ally of them.
The deposits in such associations are
frequently in such small amounts that
it is unlikely that they would be
placed in regular bank. On the
other hand the total of these small
sums is frequently considerable and
such part Of it as is not loaned to
members of the association is usually
placed on deposit in the local banks.
In addition to the service which the
association can render to its individ-
ual members both by aiding them to
obtain proper loans and by discourage
ing them from making unwise ones,
the association can also be of service
to the community in number RI
ways, among which collective puf-
chasing is perhaps the most promi-
nent.

The Spraying of Cherries and
PlumS

attack, such as the English Morello
cherry and the prunes, fourth ap-
plication may be desirable just before
the fruit begins to color, and another
as soon as the crop has been harvest
ed. By the addition of to pounds
of arsenate of lead for so gallons, the
same application will hold in check
the curculio and the leaf-eating in
sects, as well as the brown-rot.
The fungous disease known as
brown-rot often destroys the crop of
plums and cherries on unsprayed
trees. The early ripening plums and
sweet cherries are particularly SUBJ
ject to attack. The injury is greatest
in wet, murky weather, and when the
fruit is produced in large clusters.
The work of the plum curculio and
the cherry fruit flies also increases the
injury from the brown-rot, and as the
disease often attacks the blossoms,
it is very important that the applica-
ton just before the blossoms open
should not be neglected
For this it will be seen that the
sprayings recommended for the leaf
blights will for the most part answer
for the brown-rot, but for sweet cher
ries and varieties of plums that are es-
pecially subject to attack, we recon-
mend an application just as the fruit
begins to color, and another ten days
later.
For spraying the japanese plums
and also the early varieties of peach
es, which are also subject to the at
tack of brown-rot, we would use only
one quart of the lime-sulphur solution
in so gallons, but would add pounds
each of -four of sulphur and hydrated
lime.

He says: 1.-THE preventive meas
ures should begin with the eggs used
for Matching. If these are purchased
they should only be accepted from
Aocks known to be healthy, and the
eggs of which give rise to healthy,
chicks. If this assurance can not be
obtained, it is better to produce the
the eggs needed for Matching on the
home farm and from hens that are
known to be free from infection.
Having obtained the eggs, they
should be kept until ready for incuba-
ton in a dry, moderately cool place,
so spread out that the air can circu-
late over them and carry away the
moisture which they exhale. They
should not be placed in hay, straw
chaff, or other substance liable to be-
come musty or moldy. Before putting
them into the incubator or under the
hen they should be wiped with cloth
wet in grain alcohol of 20 to 80 per
cent strength 10 remove any germs
that might be on the surface of the
shell. The hens used for Matching
should be free from all infection and
the incubator should be thoroughly
cleaned. If there have been any sick
chicks in it, it should be disinfected
by washing with compound solution OF
cresol g per cent solution). The
same precautions should be adopted in
regard to the brooder.
If the Matching is done by hen the
brood should be put upon fresf
ground, and any chicks which sicker
should be Immediately removed anC
isolated or killed. By removing FIRE,

Although it is generally considered
that cherries and plums suffer little
from insects and fungous diseases,
none Of the fruits is more injured by
them or is more benefited by spray
ing.
Nearly all varieties of plums and
cherries often drop their leaves once
or twice during the season, owing to
the work Of one or more forms of leaf
blight. These produce small, round,
brown spots in the leaves, and when
the injured portions drop out the
common term, "shot-hole disease" de-
scribes the appearance of the foliage.
When the loss of the leaves occurs
early in the season, the fruit may not
ripen, and even though other leaves
form they often drop prematurely in
the fall. Since this prevents the rip
ening of the wood, the trees are gen
orally injured by the winter, and in
severe seasons the trees are killed
outright. While in some years the in
Jury from this disease is not very Sc
rious, we cannot tell in advance when
it will appear, and especially since
the effects may be so disastrous, the
treatment suggested should always be
given.
The leaf-blight may be held in check
either by lime-sulphur solution q to
SOY or Bordeaux mixture, if applied
often enough to keep the leaves COW
cred. AS a rule, it will answer if
the trees are sprayed just before the
blossoms open, but after they show
the individual flowers; again, about a
week after the petals have fallen;
and third time in two or three
weeks. In the case of certain varie-
ties which are unusually subject to

the cause of a great majority of the
fires that occur in dwellings. 1t is an

safety from fire is concerned, the
chimney is the most important struct-
ural feature Of building. But almost
countless fires have shown that care

Three plans by which farmers in
actual practice have succeeded in i'm
proving their personal credit and Sc
curing loans at less than the prevail
ing rate of interest are outlined in a
new publication of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Farmers
Bulletin No. 654, "How Farmers May
Improve Their Personal Credit"
The first of these plans has worked
out in certain localities in North Da
kota so we'll that the farmer has been
able to borrow money on his personal
note at 8 per cent at time when the
usual rate in his vicinity varied from
10 to IL per cent. To secure this re-
duction in interest, the farmer agreed
that the bankers should buy the dairy
stock for which he wished the loan
and sell it TO him at actual. cost. The
purchase in a number of cases was
conducted with the advice of state or
federal dairy specialists. The men
who furnished the money were thus
in a position to make certain that it
was used for productive improvements
which would enable the borrower to
repay the loan. Under this plan, in
fact, the farmer may be said to have
borrowed the improvement itself in
stead of the money to buy it with, for
the disposition of the money was TAX
EN- out of his hands.
A plan of the same general charac-
ter was carried out year or two ago
in southern Idaho, but in this case
three or four banks united in the pur-
chase of carload of dairy stock. In
another case in Nevada local cream
cry supplied the money and held back
a part of the returns from milk and
cream delivered by the borrowers. AL
together 491 cows and heifers were
distributed among Ga farmers, the ag-
gregate amount of money represented
by the loans being $50, This is
the simplest of the three methods. 1t
consists essentially in permitting the
lender to say how the money that he
loans shall be spent. Under such cir
cumstances he naturally feels more
secure, and the rate of interest les
sens with the risk.
In regions where for various rea-
sons this plan has not proved posi-
BILE, another method is to have the
farmers collectively assume a certain
guarantee for the notes given by indi-
viduals. In southern Montana, for ex-
ample, 10 farmers organized an asso-
citation and appointed trustees to rep
resent it in negotiations with a local
bank. The trustees were authorized
to guarantee limited amount to the
bank on the joint and several liability
of the association members. With
this additional security the bank
agreed to advance $4,000 to the asso.
citation at per cent when the general
bank rate was 10 and IL per cent
Two delegates from the association
purchased with the money two car
loads Of heifers which were distribu-
ted among the members, each animal
being charged with a proportionate
share for all the incidental expenses
connected with the transaction. Each
purchaser pledged himself to care for
and breed the cattle by methods ap-
proved by the trustees.
In the third plan the guarantee is

ers TO forecast coming conditions and
locate storms, the following is given:
Storms crossing the United States
ALMOST INVARIABLY move from
west TO the east, while the winds cir
Gle around the storm center clock
wise. This brings east winds east of
the storm center, south winds south OF
it, etc When the wind blows from
the west, there is fair weather in that
section; the heaviest rain is in the
north and a storm is in progress or
forming in the east. This same prin-
ciple may be carried out with the
other wind directions for the wind al

weather to region where there is a

up as the work progresses. Where

the tile fue forms in one or two thick
nesses of tar or building paper so as
to leave a small space around the

9 inches larger on every side than
the outside dimensions of the chimney.
Where the house is constructed with
concrete walls, the chimney is cast as
an integral part of the walls, and, con-
sequently, needs no separate founda-
ton.
Forms.
The forms necessary are simple and
easily made. Fig. 2 illustrates the
method of constructing forms and the
manner in which they are held secure

parts sand to 4 parts crushed stone OF
gravel. In mixing the concrete it is
convenient to remember that / bag of
Portland cement is equivalent to Gu
bic foot, so that the proportion can
be stated as bag of Portland cement
to cubic feet of sand to cubic feet
of stone. A bottomless measuring
box of 2 cubic feet capacity is conve-
nient in measuring the materials. The
concrete is mixed mushy wet and well
tamped and spaded into the forms.
While not absolutely necessary for
small chimneys, it is a wise precaution
