DIFFERENT KINDS OF PIPE
Day Has Long Passed Since There
Was But One style Of That
Article In Use.

Up to about 20 years ago hand
puddled iron was used entirely for
making pipe; for various reasons
steel had not been successfully welded,
and as the quantities needed. were
comparatively small there was no trou-
BILE in supplying the demand, says the
Engineering Magazine. With an in
creasing use OF pipe, however, the dis
covery that steel could be welded when
treated properly. and the discovery Of
cheaper and better processes of max
ing this material. caused it to be en-
ployed more and more, and two classes
Of pipe appeared on the market-iron
and steel. With many manufacturers
in the field different grades Of these
appeared. and now there are number
of such grades; in fact there is as
much difference between some Of the
wrought-iron pipes as there is between
II and the steels, and there is COZ
responding disparity between the lat
ter. All of this has tended to in
crease the confusion, and inasmuch
as any new material is liable to be
looked upon with suspicion, it is per-
haps only natural that there should
have arisen much lack of agreement
regarding the length of life which
iron pipe, as contrasted with that
made from steel, might be expected to
give.

FACTORS IN PLANS
FOR CLEARING LAND
Suggestions Offered for Cleaning
Up and Developing Farm on
Economical Lines.

(By M. ]. THOMPSON, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)
The high cost of labor and the alb
normal cost of dynamite are to be add
ed to the constant factors that call for
consideration in development plans for
cutover lands this year.
A common practice Is to cut over q
lot of land and then let part of it
grow up to brush second time This
is. of course, expensive and useless.
Six or seven pounds of grass seed
clover and timothy mixed-should be
sown on the land and worked In with
a spring-tooth harrow.
On the other hand, an extreme ex-
penditure Of capital and labor on CIV
en- area to get it into crop is also
undesirable, since no definite plan is
being followed for future development.
Assuming that delayed clearings are
usually cheaper, this plan works well.
A tract of few acres easily cleared,
we'll drained and fairly we'll located,
that under average summer conditions
will give maximum crop with a min
imum of risk and investment to put it
In shape, is selected and put into
crops. A second area, possibly twice
as large, is brushed and seeded to
grasses. The first tract supplies the
immediate requirements for foodstuffs
and income. The second supplies pas
ture and a hay crop, and delayed
clearing. One gets certain pasture
and forage crops with a cheapening
of the final clearing.
By cleaning up an additional area
annually in similar way the farm is
developed on most economical lines.

LIKES EMMA IN GARDEN
Woman Glad She Has One Gorgeous
Flower That Makes No Demand
Upon Her Care.

Somebody has called the zinnia the
lazy mans flower. l am not a lazy

gardens one flower at least which
needs no care. / had the most gor-
geous bed of zinnias last year. They

a five-cent packet. l have been trying
to decide ever since they came into

puppies and crimsons, but there are
delicate colors among them, almost
pastile shades, as well as gorgeous
reds, and yellow ones shading to or

from the ten-cent packet.
When cut for the house and as
sorted by colors, SO that they are
not 30 common in appearance, they
remain fresh for several days. Youth
and Old Age is the old-fashioned
name by which the zinnia was known
in old-time gardens. The reason for
that name is apparent when you look
at mass of growing zinnias; the old
flowers change so slowly that they are
long time in bloom among the new

Care In Making Cannon.

The field gun proper is made of
nickel steel, of about 10000 pounds
per square inch tensile strength. The
inspection and specifications for the
forgings are most rigid and the slight
est flaw developing at any stage OF
manufacture is usually sufficient cause
for rejecting the forging, or for special
proof firing with excessive pressures
at the risk of the maker after the
gun is completed. An experienced
manufacturer may not have many re-
jected forgings, but without exception
ally good fortune an inexperienced
maker may count on rs per cent or
more of reflections. This extreme
care does not appear unreasonable
when it is considered that the gun
must withstand a suddenly applied in
terror pressure of perhaps $4,000
pounds to the square inch, which at
each firing stresses some portion of
the gun to perhaps 70 per cent of its
elastic limit A gun failure is Of Sc
rious moment, for aside from the
death or injury of the detachment the
moral effect on other detachments is
bad.-Enginering Magazine.

TO KILL ASPARAGUS BEETLE
Arsenate Of Lead, Fish OIL Soap and
Water Mixed and Sprayed Will
Eradicate Pest.

During the cutting season the adul:
asparagus beetles are around busily
eating holes into the young asparagus
shoots and depositing hundreds of
tiny little eggs on the shoots. These
eggs are dark colored, about one
twenty-dfth of an inch long and are
stuck fast on one end so they stand
up. These can be easily seen by a
close observer. Millions of eggs may
be destroyed when the crop is being
harvested for marl-et, but the beetles
and their larvae frequently become
very destructive on the late summer
growth.
1t was formerly supposed that it was
impractical to check this destruction
because poison sprays would not stick
to the greasy, wirelike leaves and
stems. With the recent developments
in machinery and spray material the
work can be done effectively and eco
nomically. Fifty gallons of the mate
rial is made by using three pounds Of
arsenate of lead paste, three pounds
of fish oil soap to make the solution
stick, and so gallons of water. This is
applied with power spray or bar
rel hand pump.

FORAGE CROPS BEST

Feed to Produce Pork.

Spring pigs fed on good forage

in animal husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
THE cost of 100 pounds Of gain on
young pigs with corn at so cents a

THE accredited gain In pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, the age of the hog and the
amount of grain fed. An acre of
sweet clover with corn at so cents and
hogs at IS hundred netted $42.O7;
rape, $3.50; alfalfa, $500; and a

EYES TOO MUCH NEGLECTED
Residents Of Cities, In the Aggregate.
Are the Chief Offenders, for
Various Reasons.

The farmer at work In his fields all
day long has much better eyesight
than the city resident Farmers, as a
rule, have no need of artificial aid to
the eyes until old age comes upon
them.
On the farm the eyes receive more
rest than in the city, because they
work at more natural angles. The
farmers work is not right up under
his nose. In cases of most city peo-
pie their work is over books or ma
chimes. and they have a habit of stoop-
ing over 1t.
This affects the eyes 80 that glasses
are necessary for relief. Nine-tenths
of the people who are suffering from
headaches and who wonder what the
trouble is can blame them on the treat
ment they give their eyes. Not enough
city people wear glasses. Perhaps one
in fifty wears glasses where the av-
erage should be about one in every ten.
Children are affected in this way.
Most children lean over their desks
and have their eyes close to their
books. Teachers should prevent them
from doing this. Where children are
forced to wear glasses it is not neces-
sary that they should have to wear
them all the time. When the children
are at play they ought, in most cases,
to be allowed to go without their
glasses.

market price of his stock less the ac-
tual cost of marketing. In particu-
lar, 1t has been found that when thin
stock, calves or lambs are sold in
small numbers. the local price Is usual
ly very low. It is on this class of
stock that the associations have been
able to save their members the most
money.
In order to avoid misunderstanding
it is important that all stock be
marked at the shipping point. This
precaution prevents disputes in re-
gard to shrinkage and dockage and as
sists in making adjustments in case of
loss or damage in transit. There are
three common methods of marking.
Numbers or other characters may be
clipped in some conspicuous part of
the animal, paint may be employed. or
numbered ear tags used. The last
method is the least frequent because
1t Is somewhat difficult at the stock
yards to get close enough to the AMI
NAL to see the number on the tag. II
the second method is adopted, ordi-
nary paine is undesirable, especially
for hogs, as 1t does not dry readily
enough to prevent smearing. This
difficulty may be overcome by using
paint containing about one-fourth var
nish. In the case of sheep. however,
painting is Objectionable because the
marks will not scour out and wool
manufacturers object to them, and
branding fluid, therefore, is prefer
able. Whatever system Of marking is
adopted, the important features are
that 1t should be uniform for all ship
ments and that the marks should be
plain and conspicuous. In many cases
hogs are not marked, but are graded
by the manager at the shipping point
A record of those subject to dockage
is kept in such cases. Marking is ad-
vised, however, as a precaution
against fiiatake5
Since ~ payments are made for
stock sh.pted until returns from the
central market are obtained. these CO.
operative associations may be formed
without capital. All that is necessary
is for the farmers to comply with their
engagement to furnish the stock to the
manager when, where, and in such
quantities as they say they will. In
some associations a fixed sum of
money is exacted from a shipper for
failure to deliver stock, to the mana
ger as agreed. In every case the
amount to be exacted should be rear
sonable and should fairly represent
the actual loss which 1t is estimated
the association will suffer as the re-
suit of nondelivery. The provision for
liQuidated damage is proper, because
the manager must arrange for a GER
tain amount of car space, and II all of
it is not used, the expense to those
who do ship is proportionately greater.
Fuller details in regard to the or
ganization and management of such
associations are contained In Farmers

Farmers live stock shipping asso-
Citations have proved so successful
that, although the first was not formed
until 1908, the department of agricul-
ture now has list of approximately
500 that are shipping stock in coop
erative way. About two hundred Of
these are in Minnesota, where the
movement started, and the remainder
chiefly in the middle West.
The main purpose of these associa-
lions is to enable their members to
ship in carload lots to the central mar
kets instead of being more less at the
mercy of local buyers in disposing OF
a few animals from time to time The
fact that no capital Is required for the
organization of such an association.
says a new publication Of the depart
ment, Farmers Bulletin 718, which
deals with this subject, makes these
associations possible in communities
in which more complicated forms of
cooperation would not succeed. The
bulletin, however, points out that such
associations are scarcely practicable
in regions where there is so much
live stock that it is generally mar
keted in carload lots under any cir
cumstances, or where there is SO little
that the association has practically
nothing with which to work.
To organize such an association 1t
is necessary only for the farmers of
the community to meet together, adopt
a simple constitution and bylaws, q
sample of which is given in the bull
letin already mentioned, to elect off,

This can be done at nominal cost
usually not more than $40. For this
small expenditure of trouble and
money the association usually enables
the farmer to market his stock when
1t is ready instead of compelling him
to wait until the local shipper is ready
to buy it. He obtains for himself the
benefits of the cheaper carload trans
portation. and the shipments of the

HOLDING CUTW0RM IN CHECK
Where Pests Prove Troublesome In
Garden Poison Mixture VIII Be
Found EfficacIous.

(By ]. s. GARDNER, Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
II cutworms prove troublesome in
the garden or cornfield, they can be
held in check with a mixture of 25
pounds of bran, half a pound of paris
green or lead arsenate and quart of
molasses. The lead arsenate is now
cheaper than the paris green, and
whichever is used should be dissolved
in two gallons of water, to which the
molasses and ground pulp of two lem
ons or oranges should be added.
This poison mixture should be scat
tered in the evening in order that it
may stay moist as long as possible, as
the worms refuse to eat it after it has
become dry. The addition of the or
ange or lemon juice is important in
making 1t attractive to the worms, but
1t is likely to be attractive to the
chickens and some other farm animals
also with fatal results.
