CAUSE OF SPLENETlC FEVER
mails Blood and Attack and Break
Down Blood CorpuscIes.

Tick or spenetic fever is caused by
microscopic parasites which get into
the animals blood and attack and
break down the red blood corpuseles
When mother tick sucks blood from
an infected animal she ingests some
of these parasites and these get into
the eggs and continue in the seed tick
which matches out.
The seed tick passes the disease to
the first susceptible COW or steer from
which it gets its first meal of blood.

ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD CROPS
Using Barnyard Manure Is Most Eco.
nomicai Way of Getting Humus
Into Deficient Soils.

A soil may be called fertile SO far
as containing plenty of plant food,
such as nitrogen, phosphoric acid. or
potash is concerned, but if the humus
content is low, good crops cannot be
raised. Using barnyard manure is the
most economical way of getting humus
into the soil.

Community Culture.

Since there are so many oppOrtuni-
ties for seed passing through gins in
general use to become mixed with seed
of inferior quality, ii is pointed out by
the departments specialists that the
most effective plan for preserving the
purity of seed is for each community
to determine by experiment the partic-
ular variety of cotton which is best
suited to its section and for the farm
ers to agree to plant that variety only.
With the present practices in ginning
and the custom of planting different
varieties indiscriminately in the same
locality, say the specialists, it is only
a question of time until all varieties,
no matter how we'll selected, will de-
scend to one mongrel type.
Much the same mechanical condi-
tions which make the mixing of seed
from different bales common occur
renee in ginning bring about the plat
Ing" of bales of fiber. The ginner. in
his anxiety to crowd the capacity of
his gin, frequently does not allow n
sufficient length of time for each wag-
onload of seedcotton to be ginned com
pletely. His estimate may be suffi-
GENTLY correct, as far as the actual
amount of cotton is concerned, but

CULLS SHOULD BE FATTENED
When Undesirable Fowls Reach Proper
Size They Should Be Placed in
Pen and Fed Corn.

As soon as the culls have reached a
proper size they should be fattened.
Place them in a pen to themselves and
feed them food that contains large
per cent of carbohydrates. such as
corn, or its milling products. During
the process of fattening do not give
them any green food at all.

A good many poultrymen are now
replacing the dry mash with hoppers
in which bran and other ground feed
and the beef or fish scrap, are fed
separately.
The argument in favor of this meth
cd of feeding is that the hen will

there is a possibility that each bale
will get d few pounds of lint from the
preceding load. and in turn will leave
a like amount of cotton for the next
bale Thus the bales are not ONLY
plated, but as they often are not of the
same grade, the better bale may be
penalized down to the value of the
lower grade, as the grade of bale is
usually determined by the lower side.
