u. OF A. TO CLOSE FOR

Fayetteville, Dec. 1.-THE fall
term of the University of Arkansas
will end at o'clock, Friday, Deem
Der 10, with the winter term to be-
in at 8 o'clock Friday morning, JAN
uary 2, 1920. Final examinations
will be given in all classes of the va
riOus colleges of the university be-
tween December 16 and December
10. Enrolment Of students attend
ing the university now will be held
during the examination week.
The present term has been one of
the most successful at the university,
with an enrolment that has never
been surpassed mot counting the
men with the students army training

ately this is one material that we do
not have to depend upon manfactu-
rers for. 1t can be made at home
much more cheaply than it can be
purchased.
"A few growers have been using
! home-boiled lime sulphur for some
time with very gratifying results. 1t
controls San Jose scale, peach leaf
curl, apple scab, etc., as effectively
as the commercial product where
used in sufficient quantities, and it is
very inexpensive. Materials to
make 50-gallon barrel of material,
testing 1928 degrees Baume can be
bought for less than So. The pro-
cess of making the solution is very
simple. The equipment is not elab-
crate or complicated in any way. If
nothing better is at hand any con-
tainer which will hold enough water
and will stand the heat can be made
to answer the purpose of a cooking
vat. Preferably the cooking vat
should hold at least so gallons with
out boiling over. All the material
that is necessary is high-grade stone
lime and sulphur. By shaking the
lime, stirring in the sulphur, and
cooking one hour, a lime sulphur
can be had which will be entirely
satisfactory. In view of these facts
it is hardly necessary for any or
chard in the Arkansas to go un-
sprayed, neither will it be necessary
to pay an exhorbitant price for ma
terials.
1t will be necessary to make ar
engagements for making spray mate
rial within the very near future, since
the time for applying the dormant
spray is almost at hand. This spray
should be applied early in the fall a.
soon as the leaves drop or late in the
spring just before the growth starts.
Every portion of the tree from the
base of the trunk to the tip of the
smallest branch should be covered
If any portion is missed few scale
insects will escape, and so rapidly
will they multiply that this number.
however small, will be sufficient to
reinfest a whole orchard in a short
time. Where pruning is done before
the dormant spray is applied brush
and prunings should be renewed be-
fore the spraying is done. Scale will
spread from the brush and limbs
which have been pruned away, back
to the tree.
Complete information in regard to
making and applying the material
can be had from the department of
horticulture, University of Arkansas.

Permanent winters quarters TO

accessible perches if you wish tt
avoid trouble in your poultry flock
| is the warning of H. B. Lahsden
poultry specialist with the agricul
tural extension division. Young pull
lets are apt to crown in corners in
stead of going on perches when pu
into new quarters. This should bt
be prevented. as it will cause sweat
ing, thus laying the foundation fol-
colds and roup. One of the common
causes of fowls budding on the floor
is the practice of feeding them toe
late.
Making changes of quarters foi
the pullets during severe weather is
bad practice and should be avoid.
ed, as it will, in every case, retard
laying. The floor of the poultry
house or some convenient front shed
should be provided with straw, leaves
or some sort Of litter in which to
throw corn, oats, sorghum seed,
wheat, etc. This will induce exer-
else, keep up the circulation through
out the entire body and insure a lar
ger number of eggs.
Keep the poultry house clean, at
tractive and well lighted, guarding
against drafts, provide green foods
and grain in scratching litter and
biddy will respond with increased egg
production. There are prospects
for the highest prevailing nricns for
eggs throughout this winter" says
Mr.. Lansden. Eggs have already
reached IS cents at some points in
the state. The poultry keeping who
treats his fowls well and feeds them
well is going to realize a profit.
"A good and economical winter egg
ration can be prepared by following
these suggestions; If one is in the
habit of feeding a half gallon of dry
oats, place half of this quantity into
p boiling kettle and boil while cook
ing supper. Allow this to remain on
the cooking stove over night. In the
morning add to this a sufficient
quantity of wheat bran, wheat shorts
or corn meal, which is available to
make a crumbly mass. Add the table
scraps to this mixture and feed it in
a trough or on a clean board, just
what the flock will eat quickly.
AT the noon hour, the grain ra-
ton such as corn, oats, sorghum
seed or wheat should be fed in the
hitler. This will keep the flock busy
until roosting time, thus keeping up
warm circulation and providing a
source of contentment, all of which
is essential in producing eggs in cold
weather.
DO not give your laying hens ice
water This produces lower tenn
perature and causes a check in egg
development. If you have surplus
milk, the hen will pay you more for
it than anyone else. During cold
winter weather when the ground is
frozen, hens can not find bugs and
worms and other insects to balance
their ration. A little milk daily is q
substitute for these bugs and worm.

CHRISTMAS GOODIES CAN
BE MADE WITHOUT SUGAR

Appetizing Christmas desserts may
be prepared with syrup and honey
as sugar substitutes, is recommended
by Ruth Dyche, assistant in home
economics, University of Arkansas, if
her methods are followed.
"In recipe containing sugar,
substitute one cup of honey or one
and two-thirds cup Of corn syrup or
molasses for each cup of sugar" is
Miss Dyche's recommendation. "The
liquid called for in the recipe must
be reduced one-fourth cup for every
cup of honey or syrup substituted.
Honey and black molasses are
acid, so one-sixth of a teaspoon of
soda must be used to each cup of
honey or molasses. In recipes in
which baking powder are use, reduce
the baking powder one-sixth tea
spoon for each one-sixth teaspoon of
soda added"
