PURE WATER OF IMPORTANCE
hxbenSs OF Earthen or Iron Drinking
Vessels Is Smali-keep Away
All Disease Germs.

The farmer who allows his fowls to
drink impure water is inviting disease
into his flock. 1t costs but little to
have earthen or iron drinking vessels,
and In these the water can be kept
clean and pure. Plenty of pure water
should be at the disposal of the chick
ems at all times. 1t is not enough to
say there is plenty of water for them
out of doors, in the horse trough or
hog trough, and other places. Proba-
bly, the water in these other places is
foul and full of disease germs; out IL
the hens have no other they are forced
to drink it Don't let them do It.

ABUNDANCE OF TENDER FEED
SOW Plot Of Ground to Rape and
Give 1t to Hens-CaSbage and
Oats Also Excellent.

To lay well during the summer and
fall months, the hens must have an
abundance of tender vegetable matter.
AS the weather becomes warm and
TRY, the grasses and vegetation on the
range become tough and fibery, and
pre- noe eaten by the hens in sufficient
quantity to induce the best egg yield.
To provide green feed SOW a plot of
ground to rape, which is cut and fed
to the hens. Cabbage and sprouted
oats are also good.
Poke. found growing in waste places
on many farms, is also eaten by the
hens with relish. If the shoots and
leaves Of the poke stalk are pulled
and fed, while small and tender, the
plant will throw out new sprouts and
branches that will be ready for feeding
In 10 days or two weeks. These small
shoots and leaves even in dry weather.
are always succulent and tender. II
certainly is surprising the amount of
green fed big poke stalk will supply

AIR SUPPLY FOR INCUBATORS
MOT Possible to Hatch Healthy, Vioor-
Gus Chicks in Bad Air, Heavy
With Lamp Fumes.

Because hen will make her nest
In what seems to us stuffy corner
OF the henhouse, and hatch her brood
or chicks, we are sometimes inclined
to feel that the incubator will hatch
brood Of chicks, tucked in a corner
of a room where 1t will be out of the
way, or down in the cellar against the
wall. 1t is not possible to hatch a
lusty chick in bad air, heavy with
lamp fumes. Unless one is willing TO
take all the steps necessary to hatch
robust chick, it will save time and
money not to take the first. The hen
has the advantage of outdoor air in
Matching her brood-air that has not
been depleted by fires and humans.
The chances are that she could not
do as well as the incubator in the same
location.

If we don't pay more attention to che
way we handle eggs.
We can stop much Of this Poss by
training the hens to do their laying In
places provided for them. This may
sound easy, but II Is not where you

around over 20-acre radius. A whole
In spite of any keeping them up till
the middle Of the day or feeding them
always at the door Of the chicken
house.
We can do this much, however. We
can have the boys and girls on tho
place run down every hidden nest and
gather the eggs daily This Is not so
much OF job as 1t seems If the place
is fairly clean of weeds and fence-row
growths.
If the eggs are gathered every after
noon they will not have much Of a
chance to be added and made stale by
the suns rays or the heat of mldsum-
mer. A certain percentage of the hens
VIII get In the habit of laying in the
barns, In the mows, the feed boxes and
under the hangers, and especially
under the crib and granary floors. It
won't take much time to locate these
nests, and / had about as soon they
would lay there as anywhere else after
once get the nesting places located.
BY keeping the premises free of
weeds and the summer growths that
make such fine hiding places for the
wandering hen, 1t is pretty easy ia

the fence rows are clean and the or.
chard free from weeds and high
grasses, there will be no hidden nests
there, and for lack of a better place
the hens will go to their accustomed
nests.
There must be plenty Of nests, how
ever, If the hens are to lay In the
house. They will not go into a stuffy
nesting place, crowd into hot nests and
sit one on top Of another when they
wish to lay. Big, cool, roony nests will

PROPER TIME FOR MATCHING
chicks Provided With Abundance Of
Green Feed Grow More Rapidly
Than Those In Yards.

Growing chicks that have, during
the summer. been provided with an
abundance of range, shade and green
food will grow much more rapidly and
more evenly than those crowded into
small bare yards. The character of
the range must, therefore, be consid-
cred in deciding on the time for prop
er Matching.
If the chicks are Matched too early,
they are apt to go into q full molt Rf.
ter laying few eggs in the late sum-
mer, and are not likely to resume lay
ing again until well into the winter,
or after one or more of the most prof.
liable laying months have passed. On
the other hand, they should be Matched
early enough to allow sufficient time
for normal maturity before the COM
ing Of cold weather in the fall.

A new disease Of cucumbers known
as the mosaic disease, has appeared
during the past few years In CONNER
cial greenhouses and in fields where
cucumbers are grown for picking pur-
poses. The disease has been known
longest and is now most widespread
and severe In the middle West, where
the industry Of growing cucumbers for
picking Is conferred, particularly In
the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, In
diana, Illinois and Minnesota. Recent
investigations of the disease have re-
suited In the discovery of its nature,
that 1t is closely related to mosaic dis
eases of other plants, and the present
indications are that 1t can be con-
trolled by the Introduction of sanitary
measures and insect-cOnt-ol methods.
Further experiments with control
measures are being carried out.
Appearance Of Diseased Plants.
The mosaic disease is commonly
known in Michigan, Indiana and Wis
consin as white pickle" In Mime

dark green alternate. In some cases
the leaves brown and die back from
the tip.
The fruits are very conspicuously af-
fected, being dwarfed, more or less mot
tied or blotched with areas of darker
green on background of light green,
greenish yellow, or almost white. In
the most decided cases the green areas
are raised and appear as definite warts
or protuberances, sometimes of consid-
cradle size, and the fruits take on
many abnormal shapes. In some cases
the fruits are a most white, hence the
name white pickle" This name prob
ably Is due to confusion of this dis
eased condition with the white or al
Dino pants which typically bear white
colored pickles, and which have been
known to occur occasionally in fields
Tor MANY years. The discoloration and
warty condition of the fruits, which
often appear on cucumbers not more
than an inch or two long, render them
unit for picking purposes, so that in
addition to the great reduction in yield
caused by the disease, many. If not all,

vines are unmarketable

fourteen days, while in the field It Is
usually fourteen to twenty-five DAYS,
The agencies of transmission of the
disease from diseased to healthy plants
are doubtless many. 1t has been def
nitely proved that plant lice trans.
ferred from diseased TO healthy plants
will carry the disease 1t is highly
probable that other insects will be
found to act as carriers. 1t Is also
practically certain that the disease is
spread by pickers when harvesting the
cucumbers.
Control Measures.
Judging from the nature of the dis
ease and from the preliminary expert
ments thus far carried out, the remedi-
al measures indicated by our present
knowledge are G) the eradication or
control of insect pests which act as
carriers of the disease, and (2) the
application of sanitary measures to
eliminate the sources OF infection. To
be most effective, these methods must
be carried out by all the farmers of a
community.
Rigid insect control measures should
be started as soon as the plants are
up and continued throughout the sea-
son, especially previous to the begin
ming OF picking, and all mosaic d.
seased plants pulled and destroyed, as
well as plants with which they have
come in contact.
Owing to the fact that greenhouse
conditions are much more completely
under control than field conditions, it
would seem an easier task to control
the disease there. AS previously stat
ed for field control, all disease plants
should be pulled and destroyed as
soon as found and the insects should
be eradicated to prevent their spread
Ing the disease.
