NEW CORN DISEASE IS FOUND
Trouble Manifests Itself in a Weak ening of Stalk, So That Plant Is
 Easily Blown Over.

Fifteen million dollars annually Is my estimate of the loss caused in Iowa by this corn disease" said Dr. L. H. Pammel of the Iowa State college botany department, speaking of the new fusarium cornstalk disease be- fore the Iowa Corn and Small Grain Growers association recently.
 The disease, which was discovered only last year, is closely related to de- structive diseases of cotton and flax. It manifests itself in a weakening of the stalk, so that the corn plant is easily blown over, some fields being so affected that nearly all of the stalks are broken. A pink mold Is often found in the pith of the stalk, and the pith is completely destroyed, usually, at the point where the stalk breaks.

neous method" says Doctor Schoenle- Der. This guarantees immunity from cholera for six years. The serum can be obtained from the agricultural college and any veterinarian can do the vaccinating. The cost ranges from 25 to 30 cents for shoats up to $1.25 for heavy hogs.
 The whole problem of preventing disease and having healthy, thrifty hogs is, however, one of sanitation. When the farmers learn that hogs respond to good care as quickly as people, and are almost as susceptible to disease, they will take better care of them and will have far fewer losses.
 At present there Is hardly vicin- ity in Kansas where hogs are grown to any extent, that has not some dis ease. The same drastic measures should be taken to free the state of hog cholera that are used with foot and-mouth disease, glanders, or any other fatal stock disease.
 There are scarcely any herds of hogs in this or any other state that are not infected more or less with parasites. There is much danger dur ing the first two months of the fall from the feeding of green corn, since 1t has natural tendency to lower the vitality of growing hogs. These two facts, coupled with cold weather and confinement, make the contraction of disease easy if germs are brought into the lots"

BUSTING BATH FOR POULTRY
Almost Any Fine, Dry Powder WIiIS Make Good Administration
 Formula Is Given.

Fowls will keep themselves free from vermin If given convenient place to dust" says M. J. Fitzpatrick, poultry expert, Ohio State university extension service. "A box 30 inches square and F inches deep, may be built in one corner of the pen, or such a box may be made with legs so as to raise it 16 inches off the floor. Al most any fine, dry powder will make good dusting material. The particles should be fine enough so that they will choke up the breathing pores of the parasites which live on the fowls body. Equal parts of loam, sand and sifted coal ashes, to which has been added little kerosene oil and the whole thoroughly mixed, is often used for the dust" -

This is the time of year when farm CTS and stockmen should exercise an unusual degree of care in order to avoid disease among their hogs, warns Dr. F. s. Schoenleber, professor of veterinary medicine in the Kansas State Agricultural college.
 What should be done to prevent cholera, swine plague, and other hog diseases? Should the farmer feed one of the many disease preventives adver tised on the market or should he vac cinate the hogs? These are some of the many questions that come in from Kansas farmers. If the herd shows no sign of infection, do neither" is the advice of Doctor Schoenleber Clean up," says he, not only the lots and pens, but the premises. This should be done under the supervision of veterinarian or some other person who has a knowledge of bacteriology and sanitation. No one else will do the job properly"
 If all the farms were cleaned up in this manner each year, points out this authority, not only spine diseases, but all other stock diseases would eventually be largely eliminated. This fact cannot be too strongly em- phasized, and farmers should be will ing to cooperate in stamping out the cause of a loss of millions of dollars every year
 When there is any disease in the neighborhood or vicinity, then it is best to Yaccinate. Using the simulta.

ARRANGING NESTS FOR HENS
Fowls Do Their Best When Confined in Slightly Darkened Places
 Keep the Little Chicks Warm.

Sitting hens do best when confined to slightly darkened nests at matching time and not disturbed unless they step on or pick their chickens when hatching. Tn the latter case the chick ems may be removed as soon as dry, in a basket lined with flannel or some other warm material, and kept near a fire until all the eggs are matched. In place of this, the eggs may be removed and placed under a. quieter hen whose eggs are matching at the same time.
 An incubator may also be used to keep the earliest matched chickens warm, in case they are removed from the nest. If the eggs hatch unevenly, those which are slow in matching may be placed under other hens, as hens often get restless after part of the chickens are out, allowing the re- maining eggs to become cooled at the very time when steady heat Is neces- sary. It Is necessary to remove the egg shells and any eggs which have not matched as soon as the matching is over. Hens are fed as soon as pos sible after the eggs are matched, as feeding tends to keep them quiet; otherwise hens will leave the nest.

Attractive Packaaes.

It is time that our fruit growers and farmers learned to standardize their products in the same manner as the manufacturer of staple food ar ticles. A reputation for perfect prod. uct, together with honesty in measure and packing is the greatest asset that the fruit grower has.

Land Roller.

light porous soils, almost ashy in con- sistency, they serve the purpose of packing the earth particles. There are sections where practically every farm is equipped with a land roller, and anywhere from 15 to 30 per cent of all the work done on the corn crop is done with the roller in these re- gions. The plank drag is also in high favor in the corn belt.

There are soils where it would be just about impossible to do good farm- ing without the use of the land roller, the plank drag or some of the other similar implements in this class. On soils which are likely to become clod- dy, they are very necessary. On those

Reinterments at Gettysburg.

The work of reinterring the dead on
the field CT Gettysburg began On the
twenty-seventh of October, 1863, and
was completed on the eighteenth Of
the following March. The number re
buried was thirty-tlve hundred and
seventy-five. This does not mean that
even half the dead were found, for the
whole field was dotted with graves
In reinterring the bodies in the GENE
terry every effort was made to discover
the identity of the men and this in
many cases was done and the relatives
of the dead soldier had his remains
taken home, the Identification being
made through articles found en- his
body. An entry of each article found
was made. These things are kept and
numbered to correspond with the num-
Der OF the gravestone of him upon
whose body the articles were found.
The following is an example Of the
record:

girl; sixty cents; comb.
