A physic is a very important aid In

A. s. Alexander of Wisconsin gives the
following directions for administering
a physic:
Dissolve one pound of EPSON salts
for a 1,000-pound cow, in three pints OF
warm water Add half an ounce OF
ground ginger root and a cupful OF
black-strap cane molasses. Shake well
and give as one dose slowly and care
fully from strong long-necked bottle
or from a drenching horn.
Do not raise cows head above the
level of her back when administering
medicine. Hold her head in straight
line with her body. Do not grasp her
by the nostrils, or pull out her tongue
Standing at her right side, pass the
left hand over her face and into the
left side of the mouth. Insert the neck
of the bottle into the right side Of the
mouth, and pour in the medicine, two
or three ounces at q time, and allow
the cow time to swallow.
Let her head down at once, il she
coughs, and wait for few minutes be
fore giving the rest OF the drench.

Vitality-that's the thing to seek in

The marks of low vitality are the

SERIOUS DISEASE OF TREES
Fire-BIiqht Has Been Termed "Great
Black Plague" of Fruit Industry
1t Can Be Prevented.

By J. H. CARMODY, Kentucky Expert
ment Station)
Fire-blight is undoubtedly the most
serious disease that confronts the
fruit grower today. San Jose scale is
no longer dangerous when trees are
properly sprayed. The aphis is easily
controlled as are all the other greatly
feared troubles of the rast. After all
the other orchard troubles have been
successfully met and conquered. it is
very discouraging to see promising
crop of fruit ruined in a short time.
In fact, blight has been termed the
"great black plague" of the fruit in.
dustry. It has been estimated that it
carries an annual loss of $25,000,000
20 the country.
Blight is a preventable disease, and
in view of the tremendous losses occa-
stoned by it, a systematic effort should
be made to check it.
Blight is caused by a minute germ
or organism that lives during the dor
mant season in cankers, resulting
from infection of the previous season.
These cankers are formed at the base
of the fruit spurs, on the branches
and in extreme cases on the larger
limbs and trunk of the tree. Every
fruit grower should acquaint himself
with the appearance of the canker
and destroy it as soon as noticed. II
every canker could be disposed of, the
blight could be held in control.
Fire-blight is problem involving
the community, hence, an organized
endeavor should be made to check it..
Learn to recognize the disease in its
various stages, clean up the orchard
and encourage your neighbor to do the
same thing.
Do not be misled regarding the So
called blight cures" There is no
patent cure and no one should ever
attempt to cure blight by spraying,
incubation, or soil doctoring. Insects,
particularly aphis and ants, spread
blight. Use the sprays against these

GREAT IMPORTANCE
OF A GOOD GARDEN
Select Only Best Seed of Most
Suitable Varieties of vege-
fabIes-Adds to Profits.

When we consider the fact that the
farmers truck patch and garden sup
plies are nearly one-half his family's
support, and when he once realizes the
great importance of a good garden, he
will then fully realize the importance
Of procuring only the best seed OF the
most suitable varieties of vegetables.
Without good, clean and vigorous seed
the fundamental elements of a good
crop are surely lacking. There is no
doubt but that small, inferior seed will
produce weak, spindling stalks, while
large, full, well matured seed invari-
ably grows into big full crops, provid-
ing they are grown under favorable
conditions. This has been as conclu-
sively proven in regard to seeds as it
has in animal breeding, and no we'll
informed farmer overlooks it.
There is no doubt but that the av-
erage farmer could easily add large
amount to his profits each year by
paying as careful attention to his seed
selection as he does to the harvesting
or cultivating Of his crops, or to the
animal breeding, and there is no rea-
son now why the farmer of today
should not do this. He can test his
seed corn, and by the same method.
From each lot of seeds a sample can
be taken, placed between cloths that
are spread in a plate and which are
kept moist and warm. Or the seed
may be sown in soil in box or flower
pot and the terminating ability Of the
sample. will speak for the entire lot of
seed.
It is such simple matter to make
sure that all of the seed planted is not
only germinable, but vigorous, and it
is so serious to plant seed that will not
develop and grow properly that there
seems to be no good excuse for anyone
planting undesirable seed.

WHY FARMER SHOULD
HAVE A SEPARATOR
Little or No Loss Of Skim Milk
Less Danger of Introducing
Disease Into Herd.

lBy 8. E. LEE, Wisconsin Experiment
Station.)
There is a number OF very good
reasons why farmer should own and
operate cream separator.
z 1. There is little or no loss of skim
milk, which, of course, has high feed
ing value.
2. There is less danger of introduc-
ing such contagious disease as tuber-
cuIosis into the herd if the milk is
SKINNED at home and only the milk
produced upon the farm is fed.
8. Time is saved by not hauling
whole milk to the factory.
4. Less products have to be cared for
upon the farm.
S. There is a wider market for cream
than for milk.

The greatest feeding value in skim
