Shoot the Buzzards.

"Shoot the Buzzards"-they
are liable to spread many diff
ferent contagious diseases
among animals. The hog chol-
era season is here, and the buzz
yards help to spread this dis
ease, so says State Veterinarian
DR.. D. F. Luckey.
A few outbreaks of anthrax
have occurred in northern Ar
kansas. This disease is usually
prevalent further south and sell
dom becomes widespread as far
north as it has this year. An
thrax is equally as bad as hog
cholera. Buzzards are likely to
carry anathraX from northern
Arkansas into Missouri. Shoot
the bUzzards and burn them.
Most people think there is a
law in Missouri against killing
buzzards. There is no law to
this effect, and has not been for
at least many years. Buzzards
are a menace to live stock pro-
duction, and therefore should
be killed and burned. "Shoot
the Buzzards."

Rats in the Chicken Yard.

rats IN the chicken YARD.
Rats cause great losses in
many poultry yards but at the
Missouri College of Agricul-
ture we have had no trouble in
getting rid of them by poison
ing with a mixture of two parts
corn meal and one part sugar
of lead. The hand should not
come in contact with the poison
feed and all other feeds should
be removed so the rats cannot
get them.
The poisoned feed may be kept
away from the chickens by put
ting it in a tray, nailed to the
middle of the bottom of a box
at least a foot square and six
inches high. The box should be
closed on all sides except for a
number of inch and a half holes
bored through the sides near the
bottom.
Burn or bury the dead rats so
that chickens cannot eat them.
The decayed flesh of even I'M
poisoned rats is likely to cause
timber neck, as ptomaine is call
ed in chickens.

Profits Increased on the Farm.
The harvest is over. Every
machine and implement which is
not in use should be under cover.
The fall rains plant the seeds of
rust, which are harvested by
the manufacturers of farm ma
.chinery.
The average life of farm ma
chinery in this country is short,
entirely too short, and for years
has caused an enormous annual
loss to the farmers, and large
profits for the manufacturer.
The best machinery will wear
out in time, but the life of any
implement depends primarily
upon the care it has received and
the facility and ability of the
farmer to do repair work.
The implements used on the
farm represent a large invest
ment and this Investment in
creases yearly. Every year that
can be added to their life rep
resents profit. This is the age
of the "iron horse" and unless
we take care of our machinery
the annual loss is going to in
crease enormously.
Every farmer should study
his machine and see where he
can increase its efficiency. Oil is
cheaper than repairs and new
tools, and when properly used
will reduce the friction and in
crease the life of the machine.
If the binder has not already
been housed, it should be done,
as soon as possible. During a
trip across the state last winter.
the writer counted seven binders
out in the field within q radius
of fifty miles, and some of them
were new machines. Under
such treatment a binder will not
last more than three years
Then the total yearly loss or
these machines, whose cost wa
about 5000, would amount tt
$500. This is more than the
yearly profit on some farms
With proper care the same ma
chimes could have been made tt
last ten or fifteen years.
"a high polish on the mold
board is of far more value thai
/ that acquired in high society
When you are through will

moldboard with any heavy
grease that will keep the all

This will keep the pillow from

The farm machinery is only
