The methods the farmer Is To- use ar,
not some new-fangled things manu-
featured on the spur of the moment
hut are standard, well-known and thor
oughly tested treatments. whicl
through Ignorance or careleSsneSS ar,
now often widely neglected.
To meet the situation Squnrely the
farmer must know the nature of the
trouble he is trying To correct. Plant
Diseases for the most part are caused
by parasites, 50 tiny aS To be invisible
except under Il microscope. which steal
their living from the farmers crops
Sometimes the attacks of these para
sites may cause only spot or Il blem-
ish on the plant. as for example. the
scab of pOtatOes and the SPECIFIES
on apples. With other parasites. the
destruction may be complete. In oat
smut aud late blight of potatoes for
instance the crop shows the effect of
the attack by diminished yields
In carrying out the program for crop
protection, which this article proposes,
the most necessary thing for the farmer
tn understand. is that plant Diseases
are not beyond control just because
certain weather may favor their in
crease.
Let US suppose that the farmer Is n
grain farmer and put To II test the
proposition that plant disease control
can increase his production. Some of
the greatest wastes on many farms
are those which result from SHUTS
cat smut for example. and the stink
ing smut Of wheat. BY conservative
estimate the average loss from oats
smut has been placed ut about 81 per
acre for the Michigan crop. This
amounts in the aggregate 10 an enOr-
nous sum. The average farmer who
neglects To treat his seed feeds the
smut parasites in his ten acres as much
ms would be required to keep Il cow for
three months.
The remedy for this situation is well
known and has been pushed in many
farming communities. Last year in
Michigan the county agricultural agents
recommended widely and with uniform
success the new concentrated formalde-
hyde solution Is sprayed on the grain
as It is shoveled OYER and over. The
treated grain is covered for four hours
and is then spread out In a warm place
to air. II should be planted at once
With cost of from 30 to 80 cents for
formaldehyde and a slight expendi-
ture of time and labor 1t will be. seen
that any farmer can protect his crop.
Similar treatment to this Is possible

for wheat smut. which also Is the cause
of pernicious loss in this time of food
shortage. This loss, which the farmer
must stand, is enormous. a common
practice in one community Is to reduce
the exchange value of wheat for -four
by III pounds,-a depreciation of near
ly 60 cents per bushel. To neglect the
treatment of wheat contradicts every
element of good business judgement.
There are weapons also that the pota-
To grower can use against plant di-
seases. Treatment of seed potatoes

TREATMENT OF KICKING cow
Care and Patience Will Effect Cure II
Right Methods Are Used-Two
Ways Of Tying.

Care and patience will cure the
kicking COW if tile proper methods
are employed. One method is TO pass
q rope or strap with IL loop in one
end of it around the body Of the COW
and draw it tight. The COW will us,l-
ally jump at first, but when she finds
she cannot get out of the rope she
will stand still. If this method causes
the COW to- give bloody milk. place the
rope or strap behind the udder, and
draw it tight as before.
Another method Is to hobble the
COW by passing the rope around each
leg behind the udder, and tying just
above the hooks. This method Is u
dangerous one, however. for the per-
son tying the rope. After these meth
DDS have been repeated Il few times
the cow will stand quietly to be MIXED.

THE BIC QUESTION
Germany Stands on Horizon
Before Peace.
In Wars Political Background
Hun Uncertain.

London, Nov. 2.-Germany is the
remaining great question mark against
the wars political background, as the
result of the Austro-H Hungarian cata-
clysm.
From various neutral sources It IS
predicted that the solution perhaps as
the result of an internal explosion, is
not far distant.
Stockholm dispatches say that con-
ditions in Germany closely parallel
those in Russia before the revolution.
There is dissatisfaction turnout the
country, even among the better
classes. Philip Scheidemann, major
ity Socialist leader, who was made a
member of the new cabinet, is unpop-
ular and there is no chance of the CO.
alition ministry lasting. 49,.
Millions of revolutionary PAM
phlets are being distributed in the
streets. A dispatch from The Hague
says the Leipziger Volks Zeitung an
nounced that the Bavarian premier
had notified Berlin that the Bavarian
royal family will claim the German
throne in the event of the kaiser's alb
dication.
The condition of the poor classes in
Berlin is desperate, according to Co
penhagen advices. Desertions from
the army are rapidly growing. The
streets are full of war cripples.
Many women who were formerly
wealthy have been reduced to working
as conductoretteS on the tramWays
