RUST IN GRAINS IS
RATHER PERPLEXING
Absolutely No Way to Control
Trouble Select Most ReSiS-
tant Varieties Is Urged.

(By PROF. M. A. BEESON, Department
Of Agronomy, Oklahoma A. and M. 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 disin-
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
to grow rust-resistant varieties. The
Texas Red Rust-proof oat 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
lahoma.
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
is cool and dry there is not much dan
ger Of rust. Nothing can be done to
change these conditions.
We recommend therefore the selec-
ton Of rust-resiSant varieties when
this disease is common and destruc-
tive. This is about the only thing
which a farmer can observe in control
ling rust in the small grains.

TREAT CALVES TWICE YEARLY
Don't Wait Until Animals Commence
to Die Of BIackleg Before Ad-
ministering Treatment.

(By G. H. GLOVER, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins)
Calves should be vaccinated for
blackleg twice year, making it a
regular chore, and do not wait until
they begin to die before getting ready.
The period of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one-half years. Most of the vaccine
on the market is reliable and the un-
satisfactory results are usually due
to carelessness on the part of the
farmer in not following directions in
using it.
The agricultural college distributes
the government blackleg vaccine free
to farmers of Colorado. Orders for
vaccine will not be filed promptly,
however, unless the applicant states
that he has a vaccinating outfit, which
S very necessary to administer vac
cine in this form. A pellet injector
will not do, neither will q hypodermic
syringe, without the remainder of the
outfit, for placing the vaccine in solu-
ton.

SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
Macarius, Egyptian Man OF Fame,
Properly Entitled to Such Honor
as That Name Entails.

Probably few of the confectioners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's "sweet tooth" are aware that
they have patron saint all their own,
but such Is the case. He Is St.
Macarius. Me carius was adopted by
the confectioners rs their protector
because he himself followed the oc-
cupation Of making sweets in Alex
andria before he forsook the world
and its ways and retired to Thebais
In upper Egypt to live the solitary and
self-sacriicing life Of an anchorite.
Macarius lived In the fourth cen
tury, and, If we may believe the ira
ditions concerning him, he was a
champion faster. For seven years, 1t
Is related, he lived on a diet COM
posed of raw herbs and pulse. Dur
ing Lent he ate on Sundays, and then
but few cabbage leaves. One of the
remarkable tales told about the
"candy saint" Is that once, having
killed a gnat that bit him, he expiated
the "crime" by spending six months
In q marsh, where great venomous
flies abounded, subjecting himself to
such torments that he became q mass
Of sores.

CULTIVATION KILLS
RASPBERRY ENEMIES
important to Have All Neglected
Wild Bushes Destroyed,
Says an Expert.

By s. MARCO. Minnesota Experiment
Station)
Wormy raspberries, still fresh in
the minds of the pickers, are fortu-
nately not q necessary evil. Berries
which are infested with raspberry fruit
worms cannot be shipped any distance.
They make the box unsightly, soon fall
apart, and require unnecessary work
OF the housewife.
During the picking season and i'm
mediately after the seasons close the
worms drop to the ground, where after
about six weeks they change to 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 about the first or
second week in May, when the young
plants are about six inches high. It
is important to have all neglected wild
bushes destroyed, for these serve as
breeding grounds.

HIGHER QUALITY OF BUTTER
Article Made by Farmer Should Top

There is no reason in the world why
the farmer cannot make butter of high
er quality than that made at the
creamery, according to N. e. Olson, in
structor in dairy husbandry in the
Kansas safe agricultura. college.
"The farmer can keep his cream in
excellent condition." says Mr.. Olson,
"while the creamery man has little
control over the cream he buys-hence
the farmers butter should top the
market.
"The first step in the making of good
butter is the production Of clean milk.
If milk contains no putrefactive and
gas-forming bacteria, butter can be
produced which will be free from odOrs
and which will not putrefy, if proper
precautions are taken with the cream
and with the butter after it is churned

HIGHER COST OF BAD ROADS.
Should Get Together and Save
Cost of Poor Highways.

The road that connects your farm
with the nearest town has more to do
with the cost of living, doubtless, than
you realize. Have you ever thought
that every product you sell and every
article you buy must be hauled over
the road; that your teams and vehicles
or your automobile must bear the
"wear and tear" caused by a rough
road to sell farm products or to bring
the necessities from the town?
The fact that your neighbor must
also pay the high cost of bad roads is
all the better reason why yoll, he and
the rest of the neighborhood should
get together and improve the road to
save some of this expense. What you
and your neighbors lose in hauling
farm products over bad roads would
socn build a good road and give you
quick and satisfactory service.

FOWLS FOR MARKET
MUST BE FATTENED
Just as important Matter With
Chickens as 1t Is With Swine
or Beef Cattle.

fRv H [. KEMPSTER, Missouri College
of Agriculture)
It is lust 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-
sity of Missouri found in recent tests
that chickens will gain about % per
cent in 12 to II days feeding. That
this gain is economical was shown by
the fact that the grain required to put
on a pound of gain was approximately
BIZ pounds.
The total cost Of pound Of gain
with cornmeal at 1925, bran at $1.5O,
middlings at $1.75, 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 a
day as the period advanced. The
chickens were confined in coops 2 by
21s feet square, each coop having a
wire bottom. Stats were placed up
and down, ~ inches apart, permit
ting them to reach the food which was
placed in trough outside. The close
confinement not only. discourages ex-
ercise, thus promoting gain, but the in
activity causes the tendons to soften.
The fat is distributed through TIE
muscles by the fattening process and
the result is q luscious flesh which
comes only in a finished product, put
on cheaply.

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. It 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, l,32O
pounds of hydrated lime or 1,7SO
pounds of limestone should be deliv-
cred to the farm at the same cost IT
they are to be equally economical in
their use. The only argument for the
use Of hydrated lime at present prices
is it's 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. It 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 a ten-mesh screen, it
must sell at a price enough lower to
compensate for the extra amount nec-
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 justification for their
use.

WHAT 4 JEwElRY firm DID

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

vested and threshed 10000 bushels OF
wheat from 24O 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
S1.85 per bushel, making total return
Of 19,61O, or an average Of $81.7O per

duced by the COW, except in the
case of the COW producing a flow of
