SMUT KILLED ON SEED
OATS BY SIMPLE METHOD
Per Acre Prevented When Forma-
lin Treatment is Applied.
(By ]. C. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By ]. C. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University of ~Tennessee.)
Losses of three to fifteen bushels
of oats per acre were sustained last
year by farmers who did not kill the
smut on the seed grain before it was
put into the soil. The expense OF
treating seed oats is low. Doubtless.
the most convenient method of killing
smut in ats is to treat the seed with
formalin. Formalin is a 40 per cent
solution of formaldehyde, and is a
deadly poison to the smut. A pint
is practically a pound, and when
mixed with 40 to As gallons Of water
is enough to treat 50 bushels of grain.
When smaller amounts are needed
two tablespoons of formalin with
three gallons of water gives about the
same strength of solution.
There are two ways of applying for,
malin to the seed. The first is to
place the seed in a sack or basket and
dip it directly into a vessel contain,
ing the solution, at the same time
stirring the seed so that it will be
perfectly wet throughout. Then drain
off the surplus water and place the
seed in a pile on a clean floor or can
vas and cover with a heavy cloth or
sacking of some kind to hold in the
vapor. After twelve hours spread the
seed out to dry in a place that is free
from smut. AS soon as it is thorough
ly dried it may be placed in clean
sacks and is then ready for seeding
any time within several weeks.
Another method of applying the So
luton is to place the grain on a clean
floor and sprinkle it with a common
garden sprinkler. Then stir the seed
thoroughly with a shovel and sprinkle
again, repeating the process until all
the seeds are wet with the solution.
Shovel into a pile and cover with a
heavy cloth for twelve hours, and then
dry the seed as mentioned above.
Care should be taken not to let the
grain sprout before seeding. If the
grain is sown before it is thoroughly
dry a larger mount per acre should
be used.

CATTLE DISEASE
REDUCES PROFIT
Contagious Abortion Exists in
Tennessee and Must Be
Fought Vigorously
SANITARY MEASURES ARE GOOD
Best of Scientific Skill Has Not Yet
Perfected a Cure-CleanIiness and
Good Care Are Best Known Means
of Controlling the Disease.

CBy C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)
Contagious abortion in cattle is
spreading rapidly. 1t threatens to be-
come one of the most widespread ami
NAL diseases.
At present time sanitary and hy-
gienic measures of control are the
only ones which have demonstrated
their usefulness. The drugs and pro-
prietary preparations which have been
of the disease are regarded as inef-
fective. Their use is not econ
mended.
Recently preparations ki own as
"bacterins" have come inso use.
These products are still in the ex-
perimental stage. However, this line
of treatment holds forth the only hope
of effectually fighting the disease.
The germ which causes the disease
may be passed from cow to COW by
means of the bull, or may be taken
into the SYSTEM with food and water.
All suspicious animals must be iso-
lated from the other animals of the
herd. The infected quarters must be
thoroughly ~disinfected. a.
Many owners fail to observe these
precautions, because they do not real
ize in time that the infection is
present in their herds. The disease
does not reveal it's presence by promi-
rent warnings and does not appear to
affect the general health of the ami
mails. Often the entire herd is in
fected before the owner knows it.
All infected animals do not abort.
After two or three abortions, cows
seem to acquire a natural immunity
and many continue to reproduce nor
mally, although at the same time they
may be able to give the disease to
other animals.
When unmistakable evidences of the
disease are at hand the entire herd
should be considered infected. All
abortions, all retained after births and
any tendency to sterility should be re.
garded as signs of the disease. In herds
in which the disease has gained a
foothold, a COW that has aborted ono
or twice may be more valuable
than one which has not. A few
cows will be made sterile by the at.
tack. The others will resume normal
breeding. They will be immune. If
they are removed from the herd to
make way for fresh non-immune cows,
the. owner has in prospect a continu-
Gus performance of trouble. The elm
nation of infected animals from es
tahlished herds is, therefore, not re-
commended.

Story of What a Cumberland
Mountain Farmer Has Done
to Improve His Farm
BEST ANIMALS BRING PROFIT
Experience of One Man Indicates What
Can Be Done on Any Tennessee
Land Where Farm and Farmer Are
Properly Equipped for Dairy Work.
(By c. o. Meltzer, University of Ten
nessee, Knoxville.)

(By c. o. Meltzer, University of Ten
nessee, Knoxville.)
Eight years ago a Cumberland Noun
tain farmer was debating with himself
the future of the dairy cattle business
for him and his section. 1t was a ques-
ton in his mind whether or not a liv-
ing could be made on the poor land
about him. Today he does not ques-
ton for he is securing 1,200 each year
for a bank account, besides making his
farm better and his living better.
While testing his herd the other day
| noticed the wonderful milking cows
and heifers he has. He told me that
several years ago he was persuaded
to buy a superior dairy bull whose
dam was a pure-bred COW Of high milk
ing quality, and whose sire was bred
in the butter line for many years. Sew
eral years ago his stanchions were
filed with cows milking twenty pounds
If pure milk. Today the offspring from
these cows sired by this bull are each
milking from thirty to fifty pounds OF
5 per cen milk each day.
This pure-bred dairy bull is dead, but
he has left behind heifers and COWS
which are bringing prosperity.
To me, this one farm answers all
questions as to the value of pure-bred
sires III dairy herds.

HOW TO FEED
HENS PROPERLY
Importance of This Question
4 Should Not Be Overlooked
= With Prices as They Are
FAT POULTRY SELLS FOR MORE
Wheat, Oats, Corn and Cottonsee6
Meal, If Properly Proportioned
Form a Good Feed When Mixed
With Buttermilk and Skimmilk.

(By r. N. Crane, College Of Agricul-
ture, University of Tennessee.)
When the farmer raises a fowl and
places it on the market without fat
tening it he loses an opportunity to
market much grain and waste milk at
two or three times the market value.
In order to feed hens properly the
farmer should make a feeding crate,
the compartments of which should be
IS inches high and 20 inches square.
The bottom should be made of lathes
set on edge to allow the droppings to
fall through and to keep the coop
clean. The coop should be enclosed
with lathes running from bottom to
top. The laths should be placed apart
sufficiently to allow the fowls to reach
their heads through without rubbing
when attempting to get food mi
water. The food and water should be
placed in troughs fastened to the
front of the coop.
A food mixture of excellent value Is:
rs pounds of ground wheat.
100 pounds Of ground corn.
rs pounds of cottonseed meal.
rs pounds of ground oats.
This mixture to be used with butter
milk or skimmilk. mixed into a thick
paste, allowing the fowls all they will
cat night and morning.
The coop should be placed where
the fowls will be quiet, not subject to
fright or annoyance.
Best results are obtained when poul-
try is dressed at home, unless there
is a produce dealer in your neighbor'
hood who dresses and ships.
A bulletin especially prepared for
those interested in the production of
poultry is known as Farmers Bull
letin No. 287" and is entitled Poultry
Management" This can be secured
from the Division of Extension, Unit
versity of Tennessee, Knoxville, with.
out any expense to the poultryman.

1t is very essential in the farming
business to keep a record of what Is
being done. Each farmer should have
a simple farm account book in which
to enter all farm inventories, receipts
and expenses. Every farmer should
keep a record of his farm business,
and check it up each year.
If you are not making as large
profits as you would like, this should
stimulate you to keep such a record
You can then study your W bust

Hope of arbitration has gone. The

strong hope that with the railroads
conceding the basic principle of the
