TREAT POTATOES FOR SCAB
Disease Cannot Be Prevented From
Spreading n Infected Seed ls used
Treatment Is Simple.

While 1t 10 true that potato scab can
not be completely controlled by treat
ment of the seed, 1t is equally true
that the disease cannot be prevented
from spreading IL infected seed is
planted.
Potato scab remains in the soil as
well as on the potatoes and it is there
fore necessary to practice crop rota-
ton In addition to treating the seed.
II is seldom safe to grow potatoes upon
the same soil for more than two years
in succession and, in case scab is evi.
dent 1t is unwise to plant even the
second crop, II other land is available.
The treatment Of seed is so simple
and inexpensive that all seed potatoes
should be treated. Place one pint Of
formalin In 80 gallons of water which
makes sufficient material to treat
about twenty bushels of potatoes. I'm.
merse the potatoes In the solution for
about two hours, then remove them
and spread them out to dry. A con.
venient method is to place about q
bushel Of potatoes in a sack and sus.
pend the sack in barrel. The length
of time before planting that the treat
ment is made is unimportant.

Poison COTTON LEAF WORMS
Powdered Lead Arsenate ls Good and
Zinc Arsenate q Little Better
How TO Apply.

The cotton caterpillar, or cotton leaf
worm has become prevalent through
out practically all the cotton belt.
These caterpillars eat the leaves from
the stalks and thus stop the process
Of food assimilation. and the plant
starves. The plants may not die. but
severe attacks so weaken them as to
cut the yield.
According to ]. r. Watson. entomolo-
gist to the University OF Florida ex-
pertinent station. poisons have proved
effective and satisfactory against the
insects. Make two bags, Of about one
quart capacity each, of some porous
cloth. FIJI them with poison and sus.
pend each over row from a pole. A
boy can ride between the rows with
the pole balanced over a mules back
A little jogging win sift the poison
on the plants. Best results can be had
when the foliage is wet with dew or
rain. since the poison viii stick better.
Powdered lead arsenate is good and
zinc arsenste Is probably q little bet.
ter. Paris green can be used. but It
has been found to check the setting
Of bolls. The amount to use on an
acre Is determined by the height OF
the cotton. Use one pound OF lead
arsenste to the acre for every foot In
height Of cotton; II the cotton Is one
foot high use one pound to the acre;
II Il is two feet high use two pounds

TO OPERATE TRACTOR
Engineer Should Know Every Part
of His Machine.
Trouble Generally Caused by Two or
Three Persons Handling Engine
Too Many Are Satisfied
II Machine Runs.
Ry e. r. GROSS. Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins. Coiol

By 3. r. GROSS. Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins Colo.)
Trouble with the tractor often oc-
ours when the operator can assign no
cause. This is most likely to be the
case when two or three persons handle
the machine and no one is definitely
''the engineer" and responsible for the
machine. 1t may also happen to an
inexperienced engineer.
The timing of the spark and adjust
ment OF valves are Just sufficiently
delicate to cause much trouble II they
are allowed to shift slightly on ac-
count Of q loose bolt or are slightly
changed by one operator without the
knowledge of the others.
It is necessary to have one person
who is the engineer and have him as
we'll informed as possible on his ma
chine. Every day he should learn
something more about 1t and its OPP
Grafton, until he can truly say at all
times Just how every part is and thus
locate trouble as soon as 1t occurs.
Real trouble, time-wasting trouble. will
come to such an engineer only through
unavoidable accidents, and these will
be rare.
The expert sent out from the factory
cannot operate the tractor as well as
the engineer who operates it daily,
yet he may be able to find trouble the
operator could not locate. It is the
experts business to locate trouble, the
operators, to avoid 1t. Too many
are satisfied II a machine runs. That
is not enough. Does It run right?
Are all bearings perfectly fabricated
and properly adjusted? Is there pound
ing, even to the very slightest degree?
Is the valve and spark adjustment
such as to give the highest power? No
one can answer these questions so
well as the operator, II only the opera
tor knows. You can't get an operator
who knows these things for your trac-
tor, but you should get one who will
know, when he has been on the job
a short time.

CAST ALFALFA BEFORE SWINE
coburn, Kansas Expert, Urges Farm
ers to Grow This Profitable Le-
gume-ldeaI Stock Feed.

Cast your alfalfa before swine and
your wife will wear pearls" says the
Kansas alfalfa expert, Coburn, In urg-
ing farmers to begin growing this
profitable legume. Alfalfa is adapt
ed to almost any region but must
have a soil sweetened with lime and
inoculated with soil from a success
full alfalfa field or sweet clover cor
ner." Many farmers have failed with
alfalfa because Of poor seed and care
less methods in providing a proper
seeded. Mr.. Coburn points out the
fact that alfalfa is an ideal feed for
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and chick
ems. Land that grows alfalfa is worth
so per cent more than land that has
not been made to grow this queen Of
legumes, he claims.

chickens. Nor will the proportionately
added profits, by reason of a little ex,
ira fitting for market, be increased as
rapidly with any other stock as with
chickens.
Stuff1ng or crate fattening may not
be practicable on the average farm,
but pen fattening would be a simple
process under average farm conditions.
Some very good suggestions on pen
fattening, including three tested ra-
tons. are given by the poultry depart
ment Of Cornell university at Ithaca,
N. Y. Aside from the feeds named in
the rations, milk In any form may be
given to good advantage in the fatten.
ing pen. reducing by that much the
meat scraps necessary. The advice
from the Cornell experts follows:
"Confne the birds In q small and
somewhat darkened pen, allowing
about two square feet for mature
fowl and one square foot for young
chickens. Do not feed for the first "a
hours; then begin feeding rather
scantily, increasing the quantity grad.
ually until at the end of two or three
days they are getting all they will
clean up in about twenty minutes,
when fed regularly three times Q day.
This should continue for about two
weeks, which is ordinarily as long as
the fowl can stand such heavy feeding.
and at which time, IL the fowls were
healthy and in good range condition.
they should be full and plump along
the keel, and have heavy, firm drum.
sticks and thighs
"Three good fattening rations are as
follows:
81. One hundred pounds Of cornmeal.
100 pounds OF buckwheat middlings or
ground buckwheat with bulls removed.
100 pounds of Red Dog -four, 80 pounds
of beef scraps, one pound Of charcoal.

HORSES WELL MATCHED
Skill and Judgment Required to
Bring Them Together.
Color and Markings Are Not the Only
Desirable Observation-Disclosures,
Clean Movements Attract =
Purchaser.

Matching horses is an art and 1t re-
quires some skill and judgment to
bring together pair Of horses that
resemble each other in all the char
acteristics sufficiently to work in har-
mony. In order to do this successfully
1t is necessary to have more than the
color OF the animals in mind. While
1t is desirable to have q team Of
horses closely alike in color and mark
ings, these are not the only character
istics.
Action comes first when consider
ing matching of horses. Proper &C
ton, strong, clean, vigorous move
ments of the feet and legs attract
buyer more quickly than anything else
Style is required in the action Of any
class Of horses. Snappy, straight and
balanced movement of the motive ap-
paratus, each animal standing up to
the bit in about the same way, makes
an attractive team, and is pleasing to
the eyes of the buyer and of the man
who drives 1t.
In a farm team strength and con-
formation might possibly be placed be-
fore action, at any rate 1t should
come second. A team i'll matched In
regard to strength and staying powers
is mighty poor asset, as far as q
team is concerned. In selecting horses
to work against each other in team
1t is important to get them in general
conformation as nearly alike as pos
sible, good and strong behind, and
muscled well in the back and loin,
short and thick in the middle, with
muscles-not fat-beneath the hide.
Size to a certain extent may be
sacrificed for strength and conforma-
ton, but only within certain limits
A difference OF 100 pounds or so In
weight does not matter much when
pair is being matched up, but If much
more than that, the difference in size
will be too clear and detract from the
value OF the team. Size is an impor-
tant matter, but 1t comes after
strength, and conformation follows &C.
ton In relative importance.
Color comes last of all in the major
points to be taken into consideration.
A difference In color, however marked,
is among the least Objectionable fea.

horses are matched up SO unlike in

CONSTRUCTING A WIRE FENCE
Where Mixed Types of Live Stock Are
Kept oeneraI-Purpose Woven-Wire
Fabric ls Needed.

The best kind of wire fencing to
erect depends on the purpose for
which the fence is used. On farm
where mixed types Of live stock are
kept, general.purpose woven-wire
fabric is needed. II only cattle and
horses are to be pastured, coarser
and less expensive woven fence can
be used. When fencing is needed to
inclose extensive pastures where only
cattle or horses are to be kept the ex-
cessive cost OF q woven-wire fence
would not make It desirable. for losses
to stock by injury on barbed wire
would not be large enough to coun-
terbalance the difference in the cost
Of maintaining the two different kinds
Of fences. This applies to the extern
