PREVENT SERIOUS
LOSS FROM SMUT
FormaIin Treatment Is Wholly
Effective and Economical
How to Apply Liquid.

Growers who wish to prevent seri-
Gus loss from smut will find the for
malin treatment wholly effective and
economical. The formalin may be
bought at any drug store at from fifty
cents to one dollar a pint and this
amount will do for treating about
forty bushels of seed. Add one pint
of formalin, which should be bought
In sealed bottles to insure full
strength, to forty gallons of water.
Mix thoroughly and apply to the
seed oats at once. Spread the grain
on floor, or in the bottom of a
wagon-bed. Use a common garden
sprinkler to put on the solution and
sprinkle until wet, mix the grain with
shovel and sprinkle again. Every
grain must be thoroughly wet with
some of the mixture or the smut will
not be killed.
After sprinkling, put the grain In a
pile and cover with blankets or sacks
for ten or twelve hours, or over night.

CARING FOR TURKEY FLOCKS
Fowls Should Not Be Encouraged to
Loaf About Kitchen Door for
Tid Bts-Feed Regularly.

Turkeys should not be encouraged
TO come about the kitchen door for
It'd bits. The health OF this fowl re-
quires that IL exercise. Far better
have flock of turkeys that come up
only at roosting time than a flock
hanging around the kitchen door.
Feed regularly twice day when the
range food is gone, and give all the
sour milk that can be spared, says
Wallace's Farmer. See that they
have no lice, and that their roosts are
free from mites. They should be
sheltered in an open shed, but better
roost in the trees than In the chicken
house unless conditions are unusually
favorable and ventilation good. Tur-
keys are very susceptible TO bad air
and poor ventilation. They will come
down with roup IL allowed to roost
over damp droppings in dirty house.
Do not try to fatten in confinement.
II they are to be marketed, let them
eat corn with the pigs. and see that
they have all they can eat for the
three or four weeks just before
Thanksgiving. A dose of epson salts
given once a month is good for the
flock. Give a teaspoonful to every
two birds in the mash. Provide plen-
ty of grit and charcoal, and all the
onions available-tops and bulbs as
well.

GOOD POINTS IN MAKEUP OF BROOD sow

weaned the sows should be culled and
those that are cross or nervous or
have produced small litters or are
inclined to be poor suckers, should
be discarded.
Good sows improve for several
years in the number and size of the
pigs they have at litter. The United
States department of agriculture COM
piled the records of over six thousand
sows and found yearling sows aver
aged 6.65 pigs per litter, and five-year-
old sows averaged S4 pigs per litter.
At the Wisconsin experiment station
the year-old sows averaged rs pigs
per litter, with an average weight per
litter OF 14.2 pounds, while sows from
four TO five years old averaged nine
pigs per litter with an average weight
per litter Of 26 pounds. The common
practice OF farmers selling their old
brood sows each year and reserving
immature ones for breeding is a bad
practice. as the older sows are much
better mothers and their pigs have a
strong advantage IN greater vitality
at the start.
One OF the most profitable sows the
writer ever handled had choice lit.

A young SOW should be selected

The young SOW should be thick, deep

The SOW pig intended for a breeder

growth, but that will not fatten. Such
feeds as milk, alfalfa or clover pas

SAVE ALL OF GOOD
BREEDING ANIMALS
Desirable Pigs, Lambs, Calves
and Colts Should Receive
Best of Attention.

The Importance Of saving all OF the
breeding animals that would make de-
sirable sires and dams will certainly
be apparent to those who think Of the
subject seriously. There seems to be
q strong demand for breeding animals
to place at the head OF herds. Many
who have never given animals a place
on their farms are now beginning
herds or wish to get breeding stock
for the purpose Of making beginning
with animals. Let every man who has
desirable pigs, lambs, calves and colts
take care Of the animals SO they may
be of use to the people who need
them.
The man who raises breeding stock
for those who need them deserves
credit. He is making 1t possible for
his neighbors to raise better stock.
BY his diligence in breeding live stock
he helps his neighbors and is making
it possible for farms to produce more
wealth.
Every breeder who has animals that
are desirable for breeders owes it to
his neighbors and friends as well as
to the country to advertise his animals
so others who need breeding stock
may buy. Poor animals should not be
used and 1t is useless to advertise
them. Successful breeders recognize
this and Gull out the undesirable and
offer only those that are valuable for
breeders. Every registered animal is
not suitable for breeding stock. Many
are not. These undesirables should be
slaughtered. 1t takes more than regis.

sire or dam. The animals must have

run for ducks, l kept them to great
advantage. | started with piece Of
ground 12 by 6 yards fenced in, in
which / maintained 20 ducks as a
start and kept them in health and
show condition. A cemented pond
5 by feet was provided, one foot
deep, but the water was changed
twice a week. A small, low house was
erected, the floor OF which was strewn
with straw, which was often changed.
In feeding my ducks, which were
thus far kept In confinement, their
first meal was composed OF meal and
middlings, mixed into a crumbly paste
with hot water, and in the evening
whole grain is given, alternating oats,
wheat or barley, SO as to make a
variety.
These grains are always thrown
into a pan of water, in the bottom OF
which is placed some sand or grit, and
this must not be omitted as IL helps
to keep them in condition and is a
great help to digestion. Broken up
oyster shells and old, pounded mortar
is also given them.
A little meat three times a week I
find very advisable, as we'll as grass
and other green foods. When / hatch
a brood of ducklings for the table I
never keep them too long before they
are killed and they are invariably
ready for selling for eating at ten
weeks OF age. IL kept longer they
soon commence to moult and lose
flesh.
There are many varieties for me
to select from and tried several. The
Aylesbury I found to grow and ma
ture quickly, and of good quality of
flesh, but the Pekin excels all others,
both for eggs and flesh.
And a cross between the Aylesbury
and Pekin found to produce as hardy
useful duck as can be wished for. But
after all, as | increased my stock to
a large extent, l weeded out all but
the Pekin, which pays me better.

AVOID DISEASE IN POULTRY
Practical Methods for Prevention and
Treatment Given by Agricultural
Department Expert.

DR.. George Byron Morse, United
States department Of agriculture, has
given practical methods for the pre-
vention and treatment OF disease in
povltry that can be conveniently fol-
lowed on most farms. We summarize
them here:
1. Clean out by giving EPSON salts
2. Clean up by spreading powdered
air-slacked lime.
8. Clean the water supply by add
ing permanganate OF potash.
4. Clean the food by preventing
contamination or heating.
5. Clean the eggs by dipping In
grain alcohol.
6. Clean incubators and brooders
by scrubbing with hot water and soap.
z. Clean the breeding by using
young females.

VENTILATION AND
LIGHT IN STABLES
Filth and Darkness Almost In
variabIy Go Together-Put
in More Windows.

Provide plenty Of light. A dark
stable is an abomination, regardless
Of what kind Of stock 1t contains. Filth
and darkness almost invariably go to-
gether. Procure some sash (old ones
are just as good for this purpose) and
fit with glass. When there is ordi-
narily one window there should be two
or three. Three square feet of sash
is none too much for each ten linear
feet Of siding.
The windows may be made to slide,
or be hinged at the lower edge. and
held in place with catch. providing
for a method OF ventilation which,
while crude, is better than none.
