SPRING WAR ON G0PHERS.

Gophers have begun their early spring
work of burrow extension, and I'M
mediate steps should be taken toward
their determination, advises DR.. Lee
r. Dice. in charge Of injurious nam
NAL investigation In the Kansas ex-
pertinent station.
poisoning is the cheaper netnou
where the gophers are numerous, but IL
is not quite so efficient as trapping,
saws DR.. Dice when one Is trapping
he may always be sure OF just WHAT
results are obtained.
Poisoning is the most effective anu
easily applied method of Kidding a
badly infested farm. Some years ago
the experiment station at the Kansas
State Agricultural college began the
manufacture of poisoned corn wnlcn
proved effective. Openings into the
burrows are made with sharp iron
or stick, and the corn as treated Is ln-
troduced into the runways. suipha.e

Aquatic Food Plants.

he collection of aquatic food plants
secured in recent expedition to China
are of special interest. These include
water chestnuts, water nuts and a
number of aquatic bulbs, as well as
the water bamboo. The Chinese have
mastered through centuries of expert
ments the process Of using swamp
lands for the raising of food crops,
and their success is believed to point
to commercial possibilities for some of
our swamp regions where reclamation
by drainage is not practicable. The
kauba, sometimes called the wild rice
or water bamboo, now to be made the
subject Of experiment, is a vegetable
in taste somewhat between grass and
asparagus. The swollen stalks of the
plant are eaten much like our aspara-
gus. The ordinary bamboo, contrary
to the prevailing opinion, is not an
aquatic plant, and for successful cult
walton calls for fertile and well drain
ed soil.

cation is not made on apple trees be-
fore they blossom 1t will be poor pol
icy to spray until after blossoming is
over, for by that time the worms will
have done their damage. Furthermore,
If spraying Is not done before the
worms are half inch long it will be
necessary to double or even treble the
amount of poison advised per fifty gal
Ions Of water.
The spring cankerworms pass the
winter as pupae in the soil beneath
the trees on the foliage Of which they
feed. During the early spring they
pupate and issue from the soil. The
females have no wings. but crawl up
into the treetops The males have
wings and fly up into the trees to ap-
proach the females. Eggs are soon
deposited in the cracks Of the limbs
of the tree. These hatch about the
time the buds begin to open, but are
seldom noticed until they have practi-
cally defoliated the trees, although
they may be easily observed If looked
| for.
When the limbs of infested trees are
Jared or shaken the worms suspend
themselves in the air by means Of a
silken thread until after the disturb
ance. then ascend said thread to their
feeding places and proceed to develop
After development they in like man
ner descend to the ground, which they
enter to depth of three to eight inch
es, and there remain until the follow
ing spring.
Thorough control during a single sea
son will prevent serious infestation the
following year. They are carried from
one place to another mainly In the
larval stage by animals such as IRE
Quent orchards and trees.

FIG CULTURE.
Great Demand For Quick Bearing Va.
rieties Of These Fruit Trees.

Great Demand For Quick Bearing Va
rieties of These Fruit Trees.
The fig Is one Of the oldest fruits
known, and since 1t has become
known that figs can be grown In pots
and fruited in the conservatory or In
the open ground. where there are three
months warm summer weather. there
has been great demand for the quick
bearing varieties by people anxious to
grow fresh figs. These varieties begin
to fruit by the time the young shoots
are six inches long and form a fig at
every leaf. Unlike apples, peaches and
other fruits of the kind, the fig is more
like the raspberry or blackberry in the
respect that the fruit does not ripen all
at one time. Figs continue to develop
and ripen until checked by cold
weather.
For pot culture the fig requires about
the same treatment as rubber plant,
and If supplied with plenty of water
the fruit will ripen. Vigorous plants
will have fruit in all stages of devel-
opment, from the smallest green fruit
to the ripe figs ready for picking and
eating
Celeste bears rather small fruit of
high quality, but Is not very produc-
tive. Ischia has green exterior, the
inside of the fruit being blood red.
Hirtu Japan Is an abundant bearer,
and Magnolia bears large pear shaped
fruit.
| One fig enthusiast writes that his
figs stood zero weather last year
though when first set out freezing
weather would kill them. AS they be
come acclimated the plants stand cold

vania says her fig tree has withstood
twenty winters with protection. The
tree is bent over to the ground in win
ter and covered with straw and earth.

GENERAL FARM HINTS.

1t does not pay to give water In dirty
vessels to any farm animal. Hogs are
no exception.
A manure spreader Is great tnstitu-
tion on the farm, but the good 1t does
is In direct proportion to the amount 1t
is used.
Much valuable manure Is lost In
poorly arranged stables where 1t Is I'm
possible to save or recover the liquids.
After a young SOW brings her first
litter 1t will be best If she can be given
rest before breeding again. The first
litter is usually the hardest draft on
the system of the dam, and for this
reason, IL for no other, she should be
given rest
One thing that operates to prevent
success In horse breeding lies In the
fact that the owners do not work their
stations. as Is the universal practice In
the old country. Farmers are accus-
TONED to making their beef cattle and
hogs Law on fat. This Is their way OF
making money for their owners. Too
MANY farmers seem to think that the
same practice should apply to the
horse, especially the stallion. This Is
wrong. The stallion needs work for
his own good and the good OF his
progeny. He can be made money
maker in the field and should be. In
this way he will develop bone and
muscle instead Of fat and will be IN
better health and sire fewer weakline
f0als

SHE COULD YELL FIRE.

Ben Abel in speaking OF women IN
general and wives in particular said
that it is usually supposed that the
gentle voiced, quiet, kind are usually
preferable but that on Saturday he was
thankful that his wife has good
vocabulary and fine pair of lungs to
use it, as by so doing she saved their
home from being destroyed by fire. 1t
seemed that spark lodged in the roof
and set it afire and the blaze got a
good start before it was discovered.
Mr.. Abel was in the field and made a
record for crossing plowed ground
after being called, hole several feet
square was burned in the roof and the
interior soaked with water, but Ben
says even that beats loosing your home
and Ben knows for they lost their home
on Kidder Ridge just a little over a
year ago.-Stites Enterprise.

Poultry Tuberculosis.

Chickens are subject to tuberculosis.
Until recently there has been no test
that could be used in determining
whether a chicken had tuberculosis or
not. DR. l.. van Els of the North Da-
kota experiment station has discovered
a test similar to that used In testing
cattle for tuberculosis. When tubercu-
lin is injected into the skin of the wat
tie or comb a very pronounced swell
ing develops in case the bird Is tuber-
culous, while IL it is free from 1t no
swelling results The method is very
accurate when care is used.
One flock that was tested gave the
following results: Percentage tubercu-
lous, one year old, 3 1-3; two years old
"a 10; three years old, S61a, and foul
years old, 85A. The obvious lesson from
this Is that the old birds are much
more affected than are the young ones

Renewing tho Rhubarb Bed.

The rhubarb bed that has stood for
number of years In the same place
should be taken up and the clumps cut
into pieces with at least one or two
good eyes and these replanted in new
spot or, If space is limited, even on
the old spot, but in well prepared and
very thoroughly enriched bed. Rhu-
barb beds become root bound, and the
soil becomes so full of roots that there
is no area left for feeding. Replantine
is the only remedy.
