Oppose EIectrocution of Animals.

Considerable sentiment against the
use of electricity as a means Of put
ting unwanted animals out Of the way
is growing up among members Of hui
name societies In various parts Of the
country. The popular belief now is
that animals when electrocuted suffer
intense agony. Members Of the HUI
name society of Kansas City, Mo-, have
been conducting a wide intelligence
campaign In which opinions Of per
sons familiar with electricity and ex-
perienced In handling 1t were obtained.
These people firmly believe that cleo
tricity inficts pain, 1t is said, and
strongly advocate the adoption of some
milder way of putting animals to
death.

Gold and

A gold-palladium alloy, under the
name of "Palau," has been put on the
market by a firm In California, accord

ally used by chemists. A crucible Of
this ware has been tested at the Unit

RUST IN GRAINS is
RATHER PERPLEXING
Absolutely No Way to Control
TroubIe-Select Most Resis-
tant Varieties Is Urged.

(By PROF NJ. A. BEEsON. Department
OF Agronomy. Oklahoma A. and Nj. Col
lege. Stillwater)
There is no way to absolutely con-
troll rust In wheat, oats, barley and
other small grain crops. There is no
method of treatment and no disln-
fectant which can be used to prevent
this disease. Rust spreads through
the air and attacks the plant at any
point.
The only satisfactory thing to do is
10 grow rust-reslstant varieties. The
Texas Red Rust-proo9 out is the best
variety for most parts of Oklahoma.
Any Of the Hard wheats, such as the
Kharkof and Turkey, are all right for
the northern and western parts of Ok
lnhoma.
Climatic conditions have much to do
with the prevalence OF rust. If the
weather Is warm and damp grain crops
are apt to rust badly. If the weather
IL cool and dry there is not much dam
ger Of rust. Nothing can be done TO
change these conditions.
We recommend therefore the selec-
ton of rust-resistant varieties when
this disease Is common and destruc-
tive This is about the only thing
which farmer can observe In control
ling rust In the small grains.

CULTIVATION KILLS
RASPBERRY ENEMIES
important to Have All Neglected
Wild Bushes Destroyed,
Says an Expert.
(By s. MARCO Minnesota Experiment
Station)


Statlon.)
Wormy raspberries, still fresh In
the minds Of the pickers, are fortu-
nateiy not necessary evil. Berries
which are Infested with raspberry fruit
worms cannot be shipped any distance.
They make the box unslghtly, soon fall
apart, and require Unnecessary work
of the housewife.
During the picking season and inn
mediately after the seasons close the
worms drop to the ground, where after
about six weeks they change to a help
less, delicate pupa. In the spring they
transform to small, adult, brownish
beetles about one-seventh of an inch
long. Being hungry, they Immediately
chew elongated holes In the young
tender leaves, and later make holes in
the buds. Often from 10 to IS per cent
of the buds may be destroyed In this
manner.
Since the insects are helpless in the
ground, cultivation In the late fall and
early spring will kill many of them or
expose them to their enemies. They
can be killed also by spraying with
four pounds OF lead arsenate paste to
so gallons of water abont the first or
second week In May. when the young
plants are about six inches high. 1t
is important to have all neglected wild
bushes destroyed. for these serve as
breeding grounds.

FOWLS FOR MARKET
MUST BE FATTENED
lust as important Matter With
Chickens as II Is With Swine
or Beef Cattle.

iBy II. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri College
OF Agricultural
IL is Just as important to fatten
chickens sent TO the market as it Is to
fatten hogs or beef cattle. In fact,
when the chicken comes from the
range it Is in the proper condition to
put on economical gains. Students in
the poultry department of the Univer-
slty of Missouri found in recent tests
that chickens will gain about % per
cent in IL to ID days feeding. That
this gain Is economical was shown by
the fact that the grain required to put
on pound Of gain was approximately
3h pounds.
The total cost OF pound of gain
with cornmeal ut $2.25, bran at $l.50,
middlings at SIZE, and sour milk at
20 cents per 100 pounds, was 8 cents.
The ration consisted of: Cornmeal,
seven pounds; shorts, three pounds,
and bran, one pound, To every pound
Of this mixture two pounds of sour
milk was added. This wet mash was
fed twice daily. The length of the feed
ing period, which was ten minutes the
first day, was increased a minute
day as the period advanced. The
chickens were confined in coops by
2h feet square, each coop having a
wire bottom. Stats were placed up
and down, IA inches apart, permit
ting them to reach the food which was
placed in trough outside. The close
confinement not only dlscourages ex-
erclse, thus promoting gain. but the In
activity causes the tendons to soften.
The fat Is distributed through the
muscles by the fattening process and
the result Is luscious flesh which
comes only In finished product put
on cheaply.

land In wheat, and in writing to Mr.

Agent at Des Moines one of the men,
bers of the firm says:
II have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, In the Province of AL.
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels Of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of A bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.S5 per bushel, making total return
of $1,000, or an average of $S1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our

That eggs intended for private trade

said Professor Lippincott. "The sim
plest kind of tester Is made from a
piece of wrapping paper II by "a

placed to the eye and then the egg with
the large end uppermost is so placed
that the sunlight will strike 1t.
"Many times dark room can be had
but not the sunlight. An ordinary shoe
box and a bedroom lamp will be just
the thing. A hole is made In the top of
the box and one at the bottom for the

size of a quarter is made. This cand-

CHOICE OF LIME is
NOT Determined ON
Sufficient Evidence Not on Hand
to Recommend Any Particu-
lar Kind of Material.

Evidence to date is not such as TO
justify the recommendation of one
form of lime over any other, according
to the department of soils of the Ohio
State university. 1t says that the
choice must be In favor of the ma
terial which supplies the greatest
amount of calcium or magnesium in
alkaline form per unit of cost. One
thousand pounds of burned lime, 1920
pounds Of hydrated lime or l,1S0
pounds of limestone should be deliv-
cred to the farm at the same cost II
they are to be equally economical in
their use. The only argument for the
use OF hydrated lime at present prices
is its convenience, and the manufacture
ers of hydrated lime are not justified
In arguing Its merits on any other
basis. While ground limestone can be
used in large amounts with no inju-
rious effects, burned lime used in ex-
cess Is injurious.
Evidence to date Is entirely In ia
vor Of finely ground limestone for use
on acid soils. 1t seems advisable,
when buying ground limestone, to de-
mand product, all of which will pass
through q screen with ten meshes to
the inch. If all of the product does not
pass through ten-mesh screen, 1t
must sell ut price enough lower to
compensate for the extra amount necL
essary to secure the desired effect. If
the farmers are living within hauling
distance of the quarry, however, and
screenings are selling at very low
prices, there is a Justification for their

will keep In bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger If you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers In borders and

make flower beds In the center of your
lawn. A bit of green turf, well-cared

If you want soft, thick turf on
your lawn, NOV 1t often and let the
