USE REPELLANT FOR CAD FLY
Mixture Of Tar and Lard on Nose Of
Sheep is Recommended-keep
Animals In Dark Barn.

In the summer or early fall the egg
of the CAD fly is laid that causes grub
In the head of sheep. A fly does the
work, and the best way to prevent the
grub Is to prevent the egg being laid.
A MIXTURE Of tar and lard smeared on
the noses of the sheep herds repels the
fly. This may be done on a large scale
by forcing the sheep to take their salt
out Of auger holes made in logs or In
boxes provided for the purpose, in fly
season. Then keep these holes
smeared with the tar and lard. 1t also
helps to have a dark barn where the
sheep can stand during the day, as the
fly viii not bother them much In there.

UnIoader and Stacker.

a recent patent of two Oklahoma men,
is especially designed, and will imme-
diately appeal to many readers who
suffered heavy losses last year. This
machine is portable, being set on front
and rear trucks. On the rear truck is
a horizontal conveyor onto which is
pitched the bundles to be carried to the
rear truck and then upwards to the top
of the stack, or into the barn. An en-

disease was normal, but later harvests
fell to nothing. No reliable results
are available in this country. Conflict
Ing reports come from farmers in the
Greeley section of Colorado; but, as
no pathologist accustomed to the dag
nosis Of leaf roll saw either crop. the
relative amount of disease in home
grown and outside seed remains I'M
known.
1t seems a wise precautlon to use
only selected seed from such sources

ing next year where leaf roll has oc-
CURED this season. 1t may be that
the disease will not appear on crops
from home seed, but the chances are
that 1t will.

INTENSIVE METHODS ON FARM
Average Crop Of Strawberries Is LOO
Quarts to Aere-Maximum
Placed at 5000.

Just to show the difference between
an average crop and what may be
grown under intensive methods. IL IL
stated that the average crop Of straw
berries is 100 quarts 10 the acre,
while the maximum record Of pr0duc-
ton is 10000 quarts. While this vari-
alton is probably much greater than
that generally found In other crops, yet
no doubt the proportion Is not very far
from correct In its application to most
farm crops as well as fruit.

GOOD REASONS FOR DAIRYING
Regular Income Enables Farmer to
Keep Up lmprovements-6est,
Market for Crops.

A dairy enables the dniryman to an.
ticipate and receive a neat and regu-
lar income from the sale Of milk.
The sale of surplus young stock and
cows, furnishes an income in addition
to the income from milk, that adds to
the profits materially.
II provides a home market and pays
higher prices for farm crops than are
ordinarily paid at commercial centers.
1t utillzes grass and various kinds OF
feed that have no market value except
as they are converted into milk or
other saleable products.
1t provides a means of employing
labor regularly and protitably at all
seasons of the year.
1t makes the farm permanently pro-
ductiye by the utilization of feeds on
the farm and the use of farm manures.
The regular income from the sale Of
dairy products and stock enables the
farmer to keep up permanent i'm
provements and to take pride In the
possession of farm home.
Dairying offers one a great oppor-
tunity for becoming a thorough busl-
ness manager and enjoying the game
of trying to make everything pay.
1t produces a human food for which
there is no substitute and for which
there will always be a constant de.
mand and an opportunity to supply at
reasonable prices.
1t offers most suitable environment
for the development of high standards
Of living both for family and COM
munity.-Pacific Homestead.

LAND RESTED AND IMPROVED
Old Notion About Crop Of Timothy Is
Erroneous-Plant Food ls Taken
More Slowly.

II is an old notion that land seeded
to timothy, even though the crop be
removed. is being rested and improved.
This, however, is not true In any other
sense than. that horse that has been
driven rapidly may be considered as
being rested by being driven more
slowly. That is to say. timothy re-
moves the plant food from the soil
more slowly than does corn or wheat
because a smaller amount of plant food
is reqgired to make the crop.

GRAIN MACHINE is PORTABLE
Designed to Handle Considerable
Acreage With Little HeIp-Engine
Has Flexible Shaft.

Stacking small grain may be a 'Iost
art" In some sections, but in others,
especially where the acreage is not too
big and the problem not too acute, it Is
not lost; in fact, 1t is coming back, and
the wet year of 1915, and the resulting
low grade and loss of grain has done
much to bring 1t back. For the handling
OF considerable acreage with little help

INJURY BY LEAF ROLL
Better Seed Stocks Offer Best
Means Of Control.
Where Disease Has Appeared This
Season It Is Wise Preeaution to
Import Seed From Other Sources
for Next Crop.
az W. oRToN.l

10y W. OANAOANsl
No measure offers more hope of
success in controlling leaf roll than the
use of better seed stocks. Three
means may be used to bring this
about: First and simplest, the impor-
tatlon of seed potatoes from districts
where the disease Is unknown. This
affords relief, but may not greatly
raise the standard of quality. Second,
hill selection, to pick out from weak
varieties strains that will Withstand
the disease. This has been done al
ready by Won Lochow, who took sew
eral types from the variety Professor
Wohltmann and bred them In pure
lines. The result was that certain of
these pure strains showed susceptible
ity to leaf roll, while others remained
entirely or nearly free from 1t. Third,
new varieties may be bred from seed.
This, while requiring the most time,
may be the best means for meeting
the requirements where whole dis
tricts are attacked, as in the Colorado
outbreak few years ago. That such
good varieties can be produced one
can hardly doubt after seeing the col
lection of the agricultural department
of over 10000 seedlings with its inf
mite variety of disease-resistant quail
tiles.
1t is the prevailing opinion of Eu.
ropean investigators that leaf roll is
Inherited. e., that the tubers from
diseased hills will produce diseased
progeny. Cases are cited where the

ton Materials.

Concrete tanks, If properly built,
nre superior In all respects to any
other kind of tank for storing water.
They are easy to clean, and do not
rot or rust. The concrete mixture
should be in proportions one part ce-
ment to one and half parts clean but
rather fine sand, to three parts
screened gravel or broken stone.
A tank, In order to withstand water
pressure and not leak Is best built by
laying the concrete without stopping.
Even then there are other essential
things, which, If dlsregarded, will pro-
duce leaky tank. The concrete must
be mixed so wet that 1t will flow over
and around the metal re-enforcements
and against the forms. The materials
for the concrete must be very carefully
proportional and the stones small
enough to pass three-fourths-inch-
mesh screen. A concrete made by
using very clean screened gravel makes
denser concrete than broken stone,
1t flows into place better, and is not
so apt to have voids and stone pockets
which let the water through.
Square tanks do not stand water
pressure so well as round, because
the sides tend to bulge but they are
ell right II not more than four feet
deep and eight feet square.
Sometimes tanks are constructed by
filling one or two sections of forms
each day, letting It set overnight and
continuing the next day. This is a
bad practice, because 1t is readily seen

Mineralized Zone Evidenced by Formations for Miles Both Ways from Baby Copper Camp; Late De velopments There
Special Correspondence)

AJO, Ariz., April 2o.-Few people re-
 alize the fact that down here in the southwest corner of Pima county. Ari-
 zona is probably the largest and rich
 est copper belt in Western America. The northern extremity of this great mineral zone plunges beneath the Nal
 pals hills about six miles northwest of Ajo and the southern extremity is at Copper Mountain about eighteen miles southeast of the New Cornelia mine. lt is the positive conviction of the writ CT after studying the matter carefully for a long time that the action which caused the great Cornelia deposit con- tinued on north to the Walsh and Soderman group and south to the great deposits on the South Cornelia and Gillard groups about three miles south of Ajo and to the Copper Mountain de- posit about eighteen miles southeast of Ajo Consolidated and New Cornelia properties. The writer is of the opinion that other great copper properties will be opened up along the course of this great mineral belt, even south of the Copper Mountain deposit; this belief is based upon the fact that a distinct mineral zone can be traced all along where the older formation is exposed by the erosion of the conglomerate beds and large lodges of copper ore can be seen on every hand. It would seem that iii just a matter of intelligent devel- opment work along the strike of this mineral belt to open up other big pay ing mines. Observations, covering a
