DRY ROT IN POTATOES

The dry rot in potatoes attacks the tubers while in storage. It starts first where the potato is cut or bruised, turning the affected part of the tuber dark color as deep as it extends and shrivels 1t so that the skin sinlls; in. Often times a white cottony mass appears over the diseased spot The rot keeps on spreading till in a few weeks the tuber becomes dry, wrin- kled, shrunken and dark colored with practically-ho weight. The rot devel- ops faster when it is warm than when the storage room is kept cool The dry rot does considerable damage to stored potatoes in North Dakota and especially in the western part of the state.
 There are several things that can be donc now to reduce the loss from dry rot. The first step is to sort the pota- toes removing those diseased and us- ing them as soon as possible, and the rest should be soak ed two hours in $. solution made up of water 30 gallons and formaldehye one pound. In some trials 1t was found that the losses from dry rot were 30 per cent in potatoes not sorted or treated, 16 per cent when sorted and four per cent when treated with formaldehye.

Binder Twine Control

Under arrangements completed early in December, the United States food ad- mihistration will control the binder twine industry of the United States, in- cluding the distribution of the entire sisal supply of Yucatan. Binder twine now cocmes under the scope of food control, being necessary equipment for the production of food, especially wheat, which is now such an essential com modity.
 Commercial activities, including ship building, have greatly increased the de- mand for manila hemp. and higher hemp prices have been reflected , throughout the entire fiber industry. While unable to assure American farm CTS low priced binder twine in .191S, the food administration declares that profiteering will not be permitted. Un> der agreements which all of the binder .twine companies in the United States have signed. prices will be based on cost of material. plus cost of manufac- i.ture, plus only reasonable profit. To administer binder, twine control. the . United States food administration has selected Henry Wolfer. who established the binder twine plant in the Minne- sota state prison, where he was warden for 22 years, and developed its output of twine to the third largest in the world.

| is safer for meat that is to be kept dur. ing the summer. Bacon should be in the cure shorter time. Ten days will give a very nice, mild cure to six or eight pound piece.
 Any of the mixtures which give good results in curing pork can be used sat- sfactorily for beef, but beef should not be allowed to remain in the brine or mixture quite so long. Corned beef is best when 1t has been in the cure about l10 days.
 Here is a recipe for dried beef, used again and again by many: Get the ten- der side of the rount out of a good fat beef. For every 20 pounds of beef, take one pint of salt, a tespoonful of saltpe- ter and quarter of pound of brown sugar. Mix these well, rolling out any Jumps; divide into three equal parts and rub we'll into the beef for three suc- cessive days. Turn beef daily in, the liquor 1t will make. It should not make much but what there is rub into and pile onSthe beef. Rub a little extra salt into the hole cut for the string to hang 1t by. At the end of a week hang In a dry, rather warm place, till 1t stops dripping. then in a cooler. dry place. Do not smoke it; it spells the flavor
 SMOKING AN AID
 Picked and cured meats are smoked to aid in their preservation. The smoke seals up the pores, acts as vermifuge. aids in drying and adds flavor to the product. The smokehouse should be six to eight feet high for ordinary farm use. Small openinsg under the caves, or a chimney in the roof will provide the es- sentlh free circulation. Brick houses like the one shown last month are best. but large dry goods boxes and even barrels may be used to serve as smoke houses where only small amounts of meat are to be smoked
 Sometimes there is trouble in keeping meat after it has been cured or smoked IL should be stored in a dry, cool and well ventilated place. If allowed to hang up unprotected 1t is almost certain to become infested with shippers and be blown with flies. The most satisfactory way to handle the meat is to wrap 1t uu m paper and then enclose in strong mus. lin sacks. tied tightly at the tops.

HOW ABOUT SUMMER MEA T2

Farmers are preparing their summer meat supply now. Recipes for curing are of special interest, and the ones given here have been tried. Meat for curing must be thoroughly cooled, be- cause if the surface of meat comes .n contact with salt before all the animal heat is removed, it will have a tendency to shrink the muscles and form a coat ing on the outside which will not allow the generating gases to escape. Meat should never be frozen when salted, be- cause the brine will not penetrate uni formly and uneven curing will result. Hams and sides should be trimmed smoothly, care being taken to expose as little lean meat as possible The meat may be placed in earthenware jars or oak barrels with wooden hoops, since iron hoops will rust,
 Good brine for brine curing can be made from 10 pounds of salt, two pounds or sugar or molasses and four gallons or water to 100 pounds of meat It is a good precaution to boil and skim the mixture Two or three ounces of salt peter may be added to preserve the nat ural color of the meat, but Is harmful 10 the health even if used in small quantities. Brine does not easily freeze, but meat cures more rapidly if it does not become too cold. The bacon will cure in from P to 30 days, while the heavier hams need from 40 to 60 days. treshen cured meat in lukewa arm wa ter Tor six hours then dry and smoke
 . DRY CURING
 For dry curing, make a mixture of clean fine salt, 40 pounds; white or brown sugar, 10 pounds; white or black pepper, 4 pounds; red pepper. one-haIf pound. This will make enough cure for aoout 1000 pounds of pork. If saltpeter IS desired, use two pounds in the above mixture Rub each piece of meat thor oughly with the cure, working it in well around the bones of hams and shouI- oers Pack with skin down in a box in a cool airy place, not in direct sunlight nor in a damp, musty cellar. After four or Tive days, overhaul the meat. rub tnorougnly With the cure and repack repeat this in about week. Hams and shoulders should remain in the cure rom one and one-half to two days Fer pound weight of piece; the latter time

Another Soap Recipe

Any clean. unsalted grease or tallow, can be used to make soap. If this fat Sis such that it would not be utilized for other purposes, the only item of expense is the lye, and this is small. since 10 pounds of soap can be made with 20 cents worth of lye. Directions for making such soap are found in each can of lye pur- chased, and are essentially as follows:
 Weigh out the amount of fat re- quired for the can of lye used, and pre- pare this fat by melting 1t and letting it cook slowly with water or raw potato until it ceases cracking. By doing this, much of the strong odor will be re- moved. Now strain the rat through fine muslin and let cool until it is no more than lukewarm. In the meantime place lye in an earthenware dish, preferably a pitcher, since it will be easy to pour amount of water specified in directions and stir the mixture until just warm, then pour 1t slowly into the grease stir ring mixture meanwhile with an agate spoon or a stick, continue the stirring until the mass is of the consistency of honey then mold at once in agate pans, wood or pasteboard boxes, lined with waxed paper. Cover soap and set 1t in a warm place for a day or so. after which it can be cut in any desired shape with a fine wire or with twine-Evelyn G. Halliday, Colorado Agricultural Col lege.

Sodium fluorid, a white powder. will destroy all the lice on fowl It is a new and effective remedy. One application, costing about half a cent bird, does the work. Full directions for applying it are given in a publication of the United States department of agriculture, Mites and Lice of Poultry Farmers Bulletin sol. This bulletin also tells how to keep the poultry house free of mites
 Don't tolerate mites and lice in your hennery. They are unnecessary pests and they sap the vitality that should go into egg production. Nowadays, effec- tive ways are known for eradicating lice and mites altogether. First, dust bath should be accessible to the hens. Usually there will be a place in the yard where tte hens can dust themselves in the dry dirt. If such place is not available a box large enough about two feet square) Tor the hens to get into it should be pro- yided in the house and quantity of dust such as ordinary road dust or fine dirt placed in, 1t to allow the hens a place to dust themselves. A dust bath aids the hens in keeping lice in check and thefe- fore adds to their comfort Usually the ice are not present on the birds in suf- ficlent number to prove particularly harmful However. it is better to keep the hers as free as possible from this pest. and it they are not able to keep them in check by dusting themselves, ohter measures can be undertaken.
 To rid the hens of lice, each one can be treated by placing small pinches of sodium fluorid, material which can be obtained at most large drug stores, among the feathers next to the skin one pinch on the head, one on the neck. two on the back, one on the breast one below the vent, one at the base of the tall, one or either thigh, and one scat tered On the underside of each wing

f when spread. Another method is to use q small quantity of blue ointment, piece about as large as a pea on the skin one inch below the vent. If mercurial oint- ment is used instead of blue ointment. it should be diluted with an equal quan- tity of vaseline Any of these methods will be found very effective in riddlng the hens of lice and should be employed whenever the lice become troublesome. Two or three applications year usually prove sufficient.
 Mites are more troublesome and more harnifGl than lice. They do not live upon the birds like the lice, but during rhe day hide in the cracks and crevices of the roosts and walls of the house. and at night they come out and get upon the fowls. They suck the hens blood, and If allowed tc become plentiful-as they rsr- tainly will if not destroyed-will seri- ously affect her health and consequently her ability to lay eggs. They may be eradicated by few thorough applications of kerosene or some of the coal-tar prod- ucts which are sold for this purpose, or crude petroleum, to the interior of the poultry house. The commercial coal ta r products are more expensive, but retain their killing power longer, and they may be cheapened by reducing with an equal part of kerosene Crude petroleum Will spray better if tlinned with one part of kerosene to four parts of the crude oil Both the crude petroluem and the ooal-tar products often contain foreign particles. so should be strained before attempting to spray. One must be sure that the spray reaches all of the cracks and crevices, giving especial attention to the roosts. dropping boards, and nests, ard the treatment should be repeated two or three times at intervals of a week or 10 days

A Silo-More Live Stock

A silo increases the live stock ca- pacity Of the farm. Using the eight year cattle feeding data from the Pur. uue experiment station, 1t Is calculated that the acres needed to grow the teed for a two-year-old steer for 15o days could be decreased from 20 to 70 per cent by the use of silage in the ration In feeding a carload of 20 steers 1t required approximately 3sst acres 10 grow the feed needed for ioo days when corn, oil meal, oat straw and stover were fed Thirty-fiye acres were required when corn and clover hay were fed. while only 24 acres were used when corn, cotton seed meal clover hay and silage was the ra . ton. If balanced ration including sllage will decrease the amount of iano by more than 14 acres in the feed ing of carload of steers. surely live stock feeders at this time should be willing to adopt this ration. Again. when there is shortage of food stuffs and every acre of land should be made to produce its full share, can a farmer justify his actions and practice by us- ing the crops of 8 acres to produce carload of beef. when better method. would produce the same beef from 24 acres?

Overfeeding the Calf

E .Oyerfeeding is undoubtedly one Of the most common causes of trouble with the dairy calf. The calf that Is weaned at birth will not require more than five quarts of milk for the first few days, or during the entire time in which it receives whole milk. On the fourth or fifth day, part of the whole milk can be displaced by sweet warm skinned milk. By the time the calf Is two weeks old he need be re- ceiving nothing but skinned milk. The quantity of milk should be grad uaIly increased as the calf develops, but at no time will 1t need or can 1t make use of more than two and a half or three gallons of milk daily The usual custom Is to divide the milk in two feeds, which are given twice daily, but a better plan Is to feed the young calf three times in "A hours The size of the calf must be taken into consideration when determining the amount of feed which he should receive, but under no circumstances need the quantity of milk fed exceed the greatest amount named. It Is. of course. important that milk of the same quality and temperature be given at each feeding. and. that the young animal be started on a little grain as soon IS he can be encouraged to take 1t.

SODALYE NO GOOD

Soda lye has no value as a remedy for or preventive against worms infesting hogs, nor is 1t likely to be of value against similar intestinal parasites in other animals. according to the United States department of agriculture.
 Hogs were fed daily with the soda I've mixed in their food in accordance with the directions printed on the label of the sample tested. As a result it was found that the hogs remained infested throughout the period of treatment-two and one-half months-and that the extent of infestation was increased rather than decreased.
 While the efficacy of soda lye against worms parasitic in other animals was not tested, it is probable says the de- partment, that it has no value. sThe di- gestive tract of sheep Is much more com plex than that of hogs, and it is prob able that a-drug having no apparent eff feet on worms in the comparatively sim- pie digestice tract fhogs would be equally unsatisfactory in the case of sheep and other ruminants.
 Manufacturers of soda lye are warned to remove labels on which are printed unwarranted claims that the product has remedial or preventive powers against worms, or render themselves liable under the provisions of the insecticide act of 1900
