Many MlsIald ArtIcIea.

Protectors against rain seem to be
the most easily forgotten impedimenta
that the traveller carries. During a re-
cent week 157 articles were left in
trains OF the Chicago & Northwestern
railway. OF these, "a were umbrellas
and 10 were raincoats. These articles
were probably carried by unusually
forehanded travellers, but doubtless
the clouds cleared off and the careful
citizens became preoccupied in fair
weather thoughts.

are said to be capable of furnishing
annually $4,000 tons of potash,
which, figured at $50 a ton, would
amount to $11, 100000. The iodine OBJ

SIMPLE WAY 70 GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of black
heads and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get about two ounces of
plain powdered neroxin from any drug
store-sprinkle a little on a hot. wet
sponge-rub over the blackheads
briskly-wash the parts and you will be
surprised how the blackheads have dis
appeared. Big blackheads, little black
heads. no matter where they are. simp-
ly dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts witout any mark whatever.
Blackheads are simply mixture or
dust and dirt and secretions from the
body that form in the pores of the skin
!-pinching and squeezing only cause ir-
ritation. make large pores, and do not
get them out after they become hard.
The powdered neroxin and the water
simply dissolve the blackheads SO they
wash right out, leaving the pores free
and clean and in their natural condi-
ton. Anybody troubled with these I'M
slightly blemishes should certainly try
this simple method.

Country No,D Entirely
Free From Foot and
Mouth Disease

The long fight against the foot and
mouth disease Is over. The secretary
OF agriculture has issued an order
which on March 81 removed all foot
and mouth guarantees and restric-
tions against the shipment and move
ment of live stock. The order signed
specifically removes the quarantine
from small territory in Christian
county, Illinois. the last area which
was under suspicion. Along with the
removal Of this local quarantine, the
various federal orders restricting ship
ment Of cattle are rescinded, so that
dealers can now ship their cattle as
before the first quarantine was i'm
posed. @-tt
Upon notification that the United
States is free from the disease, all
foreign governments which have
placed embargoes ON American cattle
are expected to remove these en-
bargoes, so that cattle raisers will
then be able to resume shipments to
these foreign countries.
The magnitude of the work Of eradi-
cation and control carried. on by
farmers, shippers, and the state and
federal governments Is shown by the
fact that before controlled, the dis
ease had gained a temporary footing
in twenty-five states and the District
of Columbia. The disease appeared
and was controlled in 269 different
counties.
The Importance to the stock raising
industry Of eradicating foot and mouth
disease may be judged from the re-
suits of this plague in Denmark.
where the disease appeared at about
the same time that it broke out in the
United States. The area Of Denmark
is approximately equal to that of the
three New England states-Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode
Island. 1t is, however, a great dairy
ing country, and it has been esti-
mated that the losses in milk in one
year caused by the foot and mouth
disease have amounted to approx
mately one third Of the total cost Of
eradicating the pestilence in twenty
two states of this country. The
Danish authorities were unable to
carry out their former policy of
slaughter, and were compelled to re-
sort to such measures of control as
could be established by guarantees
and other restrictions.
AS a result Of better understanding
between the state and national govern
ments, representatives Of the depart
ment believe that many Of the OBJ
stacles which confronted the authori-
ties in the past outbreak would not
be encountered in dealing with any
future occurrence of the disease. The
veterinarians, however, will not abate
their watchfulness for some time. Elk
animation of animals and animal
products offered for import will con-
tinue to be usually strict. The de-
partment moreover, particularly urges
all farmers and cattle handlers to
notify their state veterinarians and the
department Of any suspicious cases Of
sore mouth combined with 1ameness
in their animals. Those in charge of
the eradication work are confident that
the disease is wiped out, hut they wish
to use every precaution to detect and
control any sporadic cases that may
develop in remote districts. e!

SMUT THREATENS OATS.
Crop in Clinton County in Danger Of
Great DAMAGE,

Calling attention to the danger Of
damage to Clinton county's crops Of
oats and barley due to the presence
of smut, County Agricultural Agent l..
10. Wise, with headquarters in Dewitt,
has issued the following bulletin:
Spring time is here. We are about
to put in our small, grain crops. Many
farmers have already famed and
graded their seed. BY so doing they
have blown out the dirt, chaff, weed
seed, small oats and large light weight
grains, leaving the heavy medium and
large berries for seeding. This opera
ton will be a saving in amount Of
seed sown. While the light oats. chat,
etc., may be fed to calves.
Smut is a parasite whose spore, or
seed, live over winter on the oat
kernel. When this spore is not killed
before seeding by the formaldehyde
treatment, it terminates and lives off
Of the growing oat plant, using the
plant food that should be used by the
young oat plant.
This parasite shows no outward
signs Of its presence until the oat head
produces the bloom. Then the smut
takes full possession of the plant and
you have the heads filled with smut
instead Of oats.
BY using one pint Of formalde-
hyde, factory sealed bottles of 37.5
per cent strength preferable) to forty
gallons of water and by thoroughly
dampening every oat, then heaping in
a pile and leave covered with blankets,
and smut spores can be killed. The
same treatment is very effective when
used upon barley. H
The results of treating in previous
years have eliminated the amount Of
smut to, less than per cent while from
untreated seed the smutted heads by
actual count has run as high as 33 1-3
per cent. Last season, made a num-
Der Of counts in fields when the seed
had been treated and the average Of
these counts showed z of per cent.
In the fields where the seed was not
treated the average age Of smutted
heads was 1876 per cent On the basis
of a forty bushel yield there was a
loss Of over five bushels per acre. The
cost Of treating outside labor, will
amount to about cent per busheL
When including labor, the net profit
derived from the treatment was over
81 per acre. sasE u
! When so many farmers in this
\ ~ = {
county have treated the seed oats for
smut and the results are go apparent,
why shouldn't every farmer make this
a part Of the regular seed operations?
II you haven't treated your seed oats
or seed barley. try 1t this spring. You
can not lose. K FL VI
In many sections Of the state the
vitality Of the seed! oats IL very low.
Try YOUR seed before planting This
can be done by placing "a representa-
tive sample Of 1000 grains in box,
dish or cloth. Keep, the oats moist and
warm for four or five days and you
can tell very closely as to their vital
ity.
II you're oats were put into the bin
bit damp, try them before seeding
A few farmers in Clinton county have
reported very low test and have
bought their seed oats. rs

Alfalfa Lesson, on Farm.

Cedar Rapids, April Aired M.
Enders, who is one Of the most enter
prising and successful young farmers
in Linn county, is going to give his
neighbors and friends an opportunity
to see what he done for alfalfa which
is infested with blue grass.
Mr. Enders has a field Of alfalfa
which is six years standing. Parts OF
It are in danger Of being killed out
by the blue grass unless something Is
done. So after putting their heads
together Mr. Enders and County Farm
Agent Thurman decided to send tor
an alfalfa "renovator," which Is ma
chine that cleans out the blue grass
without injuring the alfalfa. Fortu-
nately the blue grass is shallow root
ed, while the alfalfa is deep rooted.
So it is possible to kill the former
without injuring the latter. B
Mr.. >Enders lives six miles west on
the Lincoln way and then one mile
south. The machine will be at work
all day next Saturday, April 9, and AT
interested are invited. 4
Farm Creamsries Pay Good Prices.
well-managed farmers creameries
in the dairy districts OF Iowa, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin quite invariably
pay more a pound for buter-fat than
they receive q pound for butter, says
the Iowa Farmer. A tabulation OF the
annual reports for 1915 of ten local
creameries in the three states named
shows that every one Of them paid for
butter-fat a higher average price than
it received, the difference being from
12 cents pound to ABB cents q
pound. With a single exception the
difference was over 2 cents, and with
three exceptions it was over cents.
These reports were the first ten COM
plete reports published in the Dairy
Record, and were taken just as they
came without selection.
The reason these creameries can
pay a higher price pound for butter
fat than they receive for butter Is
that the over-run in butter-making
more than covers the cost Of manu-
facture. In only one case was the av-
erage oveE-run in these ten creameries
less than 20 per cent, and in that case
1t was 1891 per cent. .--# /:
For some reason the centralized
creameries operating in this territory
do not pay as much pound for but
ter-fat as they get for the butter they
make from it. This can mean only
that the centralized creameries are
less efficient than local cooperative
creameries, that their cost of operation
per unit of product is higher, or that
they are making a very large profit.
In either case the patron Of the CEN
tralized creamery fares very much
worse than the patron Of q well IMAM
aged CO. operative creamery. J. = 4
