To Cure Lumpy Jaw

Lumpy jaw of cattle is caused by a fungus living and growing within the tis- sues of the bones of the jaw. beneath the skin of the jaw, in the tongue, about the throat or occasionally in the lungs.
 The majority of cases occur as lunps beneath the skin of the lower jaw and not attached to the jawbone Forum ately this form responds better to treat ment than the other forms. The Jumps, Wnicn are firm .swellings, vary at first rom the size of nut to an egg They enlarge, push their way outward and finally break through the skin in one or more places, discharging a creamy pus Unlike an ordinary abscess, this lumpy Jaw growth does not tend to disappear but rather increases and the discharge continues.
 At least 75 per cent of such cases can be cured if properly treated The best method of treatment is to have the lump removed surgically. This should only be undertaken by graduate veterinarian because of the danger of cutting import ant blood vessels and nerves
 Some years ago it was discovered that Iodine of potash given internally would in most cases cure lumpy jaw. This drug should be given in doses of 1h drams q dram is equivalent to 1 teaspoonfuD dis solved in 1 pint of water and given as drench once 8 way. If in a week or 10 days the animals skin becomes rough, eyes and nose run, and loss of appe- tite occurs, the medicine should not be given for about five days, but after ward can be resumed in the same dose.
 The cure takes from three to six weeks treatment, but if there is no sign of inn provement after four or five weeks, treatment should be abandoned.
 When iodine of potash is given to milk cows it may cut down the milk flow considerably. Also large part of the drug leaves the body through the milk, making it unfit for use. Cows near calving should not be given iodine of potash
 While the above treatment is being given, the iumpy jaw mass should be kept clean with an antiseptic and washed out or painted over with tincture of iodine.

What We Canned

We are only amateur gardeners, but
 wouldn't think of doing without our garden. Our garden is only about 6 by So rect, but, by rotating the crops, We raised an enormous amount of garden products There was not a square foot of the ground in it last year that did not raise at least two crops and some of it as much as four or five. The total cost was $l.S5. One dollar was paid for hay ing it plowed and S5 cents was paid for seeds. Part of the seed was sowed from the previous years garden. our first one
 It would be hard for us to estimate the value that we have derived from it, all though We keep an account with our garden. Besides having an abundance of fresh vegetables for the table all sum mer and fall, have canned 327 quarts In that quantity I have such a variety that we are never tired of them. I have canned peas, green beans, cauliflower, to- matoes, corn, rhubarb, lima beans, beets, mustard, turnip tops, egg plant, spinach, squash, mangoes, kale and many varie- ties of pickles. We sold $1s.25 worth of fresh vegetables to our neighbors. Be- sides all of this, we stored about 30 rounds of navy beans, bushels of pota- toes, and plenty of onions, parsnips, car rots, sa1sify. turnips and cabbage for our own use. We also partly raised pig from the waste products that couldn't possibly be used in any other way.
 All of my canning was done in a home- made canning outfit, a wash boiler with a wire frame made to fit it. My hus- band did all of the work in the garden during spare minutes. and I canned the vegetables without other help. I see no reason why millions of other families could not have a garden equally as useful.

Wheat Yield Looks Good

A production of about 572, ,005 900 bushels of winter wheat is forecast by the department of agriculture from the condition of the plant in the United States on May l. which compares with a forecast of 56o. 100000 made on April 1. The production last year was esti- mated at 41s.ooO.OOo, and the average of the preceding five years was 5s3. : 000,000. The largest production ever recorded is 5,000.000 in 1914 and the smallest production of the past 10 years is 40o,ooo,00 in 1912.

Manure for Legumes
Bx J. A. LEGG

l have grown soy beans in a small way fof number of years. I noticed that While the soy beans made good growth on t good soils they did not develop nocules on the roots, or but very few, if any Occasionally a nodule would be seen on the roots of some plants. I sent to the department of agriculture at Washington, D. C., and got hermeti- cally sealed vial of soy bean bacteria cuit and followed the directions ca.e- fully in preparing and applying it, put ssill no nodules grew. I tried planting tnem for two years in succession on the same soil with no better results.
 It.en I tried planting them on freshly :nanured land and found that the soy bean roots that grew on this manured land bore nodules in abundance. It iooked as if it was waste of material to erply such nitrogenous manure 10 legumes However, it seemed that it was a success as an inoculator of the crop as well as furinisher of nitrogen to the soil. My experience is that where lime is not available that light dressing 3f stable manure is very effective way of getting set of clover on soils that would not otherwise grow clover

Light Soil Best for Beans

Light soils, the sandy loams and loams are best suited to beans. In the regu- lar rotation, beans should take part of the space reserved to corn and pota- toes. Glover sod plowed in the fall is an ideal soil.
 Small navy beans comand the highest market price and less seed Is required to the acre. Only choice. hand selected seed should be used. From 30 to 45 pounds of seed of the smaller varieties and from 60 to 75 pounds of the larger varieties are used to the acre.
 Land plowed in the fall should be thoroughly worked again in the spring Early and constant cultivation before the seed is sown will help reduce the weedng later.
 From May 20 to June 10, depending upon the latitude. is the usual time for planting. Under average conditions beans should be planted one and one-half or two inches deep.
 Only such cultivation should be given as is needed to keep the soil mellow and the crop free from weeds.
