by lack of iron in the blood. This
thing may go on for years while the
patient suffers untold agony If you
are not strong or well, you owe it to
yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or howl

SPREAD BEAN RUST ON VINES
Wisconsin Plant Disease Specialist Of
Wisconsin College Gives Some
Timely Advice.

Farmers who understand condi-
tons In the spread OF bean rust or
anthracnose, as Ii is termed, never cul-
tivate or walk through the field while
the vines are wet vvith rain or dew"
This is the information given by K.
+. Vaughan, plant disease specialist at
the College OF Agriculture, University
of Wisconsin. When the bean plants
are dry there is less danger OF brush
Ing off the tiny spores which spread
the disease.
The bean anthracnose, in common
with one or two other spot diseases OF
garden beans, Is most successfully con-
trolled by careful selection of healthy
seed. Owing to the greatly increased
acreage of beans in Wisconsin this
year 1t is highly important that grow
ers become familiar with conditions
which affect the crop. Spraying is of
little value I'm controlling the disease
under field conditions.

KEEPING HOME GARDEN BUSY
cessive Planting Maxim Amount
of Food Secured.

AS soon as one crops has been har-
vested in the garden the ground should
be prepared and another one planted.
The early crops are removed in time
for late ones and by practicing sue
cessive planting supply of fresh vege-
tables can be had all summer and into
the late fall. Sweet corn, string beans,
beets, turnips, tomatoes, squash, pump
kins. late cabbage, cucumbers, winter
onions, fall lettuce, radishes, spinach,
are some of the crops that can be
planted after the early things are out
OF the way. Sometimes Ii is practica-
Bile to start corn or beans between the
radish and lettuce rows and by time
the latter crops are used UP the form
or will have made good start. BY
following intensive methods and sue
cessive planting the garden can be
kept busy all season and be made to
produce the maximum amount of food
material.

On certain occasion Professor
Brander Matthews of Columbia uni

said he trusted that he was not so
old that the students could play on
him the trick he once saw tried on a
senior professor in his own college
days.
Professor Blank" he said, was our
most venerable instructor. and he
could be just little irritable at times.
Once, noticing that member OF his
class who sat right under his eye
never took any notes or paid the
slightest attention TO his lectures, he
stopped abruptly and demanded:
See here, young man, what do you
mean by coming into my classroom
day otter day and never taking notes?'

CALF AFTER SKIM MILK AGE
Animal Should Be Kept Gaining From
Birth to Maturity-Give Heifers
Some Grain.

The problem Of caring for the dairy
calf is by no means solved by the end
of the mild-feeding period. The animal
should be kept gaining constantly from
birth to maturity if good growth is to
be expected. Calves are frequently
we'll cared for up to four or five
months of age and then given little at
tention. If good growth is to be Sc
cured. heifers under a year of age re-
quire grain in addition to hay or pas
ture.
Since the condition of the heifer at
pasture Is not so closely observed as
when in the stall, the heifer beyond the
milk-feeding period is more likely to
be neglected during the summer when
on pasture than during the winter
months.

BLAME MOLES FOR INJURIES
Real Miscreants Are Small Animals
That Follow in Runways-
Skins Are Valuable.

Although complaints Of damage done
by moles are frequently heard, the real
damage is often done by small animals
that follow the moles' runways and
damage corn and other seeds. The
mole itself lives very largely on earth
worms. white grubS, beetles, spiders
and other insects. They very rarely
eat seeds. In recent years, this little
rodent has assumed a commercial i'm
portance as fur bearer, and there
are now more than 100000 mole
skins sold annually at the great Lon
don fur sale.
