The object of the school is to thor
| oughly educate men to the mechani-
cal and technical sides of the trades
to fl them to take up the trades in
telligently so as to produce creditable
results. Such instruction to be given
by practical men and through the do
ing of actual work as far as possible
Mr.. c. H. Goss, General Manager,
practical man in these trades, feels
that such training will fill a long felt
want not only to men wishing to ac-
ouirc the necessary instruction so as
to satisfactorily handle such work to
the best advantage, but to those de-
string further knowledge in any of
the trades.
The advantages of learning the
work through the supervision of prac-
tical men long at the trades, of learn
ing the best methods, and doing ac-
tual work in the classes will be ap-
preciated by those desiring thorough
understanding Of their chosen trade.
The attendance at the present time
is very good. There is however,
room for few more Application

FIX UP HENH0USE IN WINTER
PouItrynnan Has Most Time at HIs
Disposal Then to Make Things
Convenient for Flock.

Winter Is the season when the poul-
try keeper has most time at his dis
posal to use his hammer, saw and
nails in behalf Of his flock. Many con-
venienceS for the henhouse require
only q little lumber and time for con-
struction.
If new nests, feed troughs, drinking
fountains or dust boxes in the biddies'
domicile are needed, now is the time
to make them.
Perhaps the roosts need replacing.
United States department of agri-
culture specialists recommend as a
satisfactory perch a 2 by 8 inch scant-
ling set edgewise with the upper edge
slightly rounded.
Allow to 10 inches of perch for
each fowl; that is, a perch 16 feet long
would furnish room enough for 20
fowls. A smooth platform should be
placed under the perches to catch the
droppings. The perches should be
from 6 to 10 inches above this plat
form so as to allow the droppings to
be removed without removing the
perches. 1t is usually desirable to
have the platform some distance from
the floor, from 2 to 21s feet, in order
that all the floor space may be avail
able.

"Medicated hog wallows and rub

they cause little or no damage, but
neither do these methods destroy all

on the rubbing posts and the wal

dips, pine tar, crude petroleum and
bland oils. Crude petroleum and
coal-tar creosote dips prove to be
more effective when applied from an
ordinary sprinkling can than when
used in wallows or on rubbing posts.

Don't feed the chickens in dirty,
filthy place.
1t pays to watch the flock closely Ia
the fall, winter and early spring.
Clean the floors Of the hen houses
every few days; don't allow the trash
to accumulate.
Perhaps some hens and pullets
would be much better layers if they
could select their owners.
Leghorns at 81 months, and the
larger breeds of Rocks and Reds at
Ga months, will begin egg production.
II is much more economical and re-
sultful to feed a variety of feeds to
poultry, than it is to depend on one
or two grains.
Chemists find that eggs simply are
water, protein and ash and that more
than one-half the egg is water, so it
is apparent that sufficient water is
a necessary consideration.
=
The time to take an ailing hen out
of the flock is the moment it is seen
that she is ailing. To wait is to risk
sickness in the whole flock.
-
Plenty of grit is one Of the factors
in keeping turkeys healthy. If there
is not sufficient grit where they range
it must be provided for them.
Permanganate of potash is fine to
keep the roup away as we'll as for its
digestive value. Keep charcoal grit
and shells where the chickens can help
themselves.

CARE OF BREEDING PIGEONS
Not Much Chance of Making Profit
With Squads Unless Kept Free
From All Diseases.

There is very little chance of MAX
ing money from squads unless through
cleanliness pigeons can be kept COM
paratively free from disease and in
sect parasites. Watch the stock care
fully and remove any sick birds from
the breeding pens.
Keep the house dry, clean, well ven
tilated and free from drafts. Clean
the yards either by scraping' the sur
face and adding fresh sand or gravel
or by cultivating the land and planting
it to grain if possible. Feed only good,
sound grain.

PLANS TO AVOID
TUBER DISEASES
Several Measures Open to Farm
erS to Prevent Disorders of
of Potato Plant.
ELIMINATE ANY WEAK PLANT
Seed Selection in Bin at Time of Cut
ting Removes All Specimens Show
ing Any Misunderstanding
Controls Blight.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The principal control measures
available to all farmers for use
against potato diseases are plant Sc
lection in the seed plot, tuber selection
in the bin, seed treatment, field spray
Ing, and prevention through soil SAM
tatiOn and modification of cultural
practices.
Plant selection in the seed plot aims
at the elimination from the growers
seed stock of the progeny of all plants
that are weak or diseased from any
cause. Each year a sufficiently large
area is set aside for the growers own
seed production. 1t is planted with
the best stock Obtainable, is properly
but not excessively fortified and spe-
cial care is bestowed upon it. All OBJ
jectionable plants, with their tubers,
if any have formed, are removed from
time to time as the indications Of
weakness or disease appear. At dig
ging time further selection may be en-
plOyed to remove the progeny of hills
having normal tops but giving unde-
sirable or unsatisfactory returns.
Seed plot selection is directed
against those. tuber-borne diseases
which cannot be detected by inSpec-
ton of the seed stock, but at the same
time it is effective in such troubles
as black leg and wilt, and it is a very
efficient means Of removing varietal
mixtures and the poor yielding, though
not necessarily diseased, hills. 1t can
not be depended upon to restore pro-
ductivity quickly in stock containing
a high proportion Of degenerate or
run-out hills. A new start with Wig
Orous stock is the only practical course
in such cases.
Selection In Bin.
Tuber selection in the bin is best
carried out at the time of cutting. 1t
removes tuberS showing decay, Seri-
GUS mechanical injury and necrosis,
either external or internal, and is aim
ed primarily against the wilt diseases,
net necrosis, black leg, and other de-
Cay-producing diseases from those con-
stitutiOnal weaknesses frequently de-
!velOping from the use of partially de-
cayed or seriously injured seed. 1t Is
not a satisfactory substitute for the
seed plot selection but supplements it
to good advantage.
Seed treatment is employed to de-
stroy ~ the sclerotia of Rhizoctonia
or black scurf, (2) the scab-producing
organism present in common scab
spots, and (3) surface infection with
the black leg organisms which may
have resulted from contact with tu-
bers decaying from this cause. It Is
also Of value in destroying the germs
of some other minor diseases on the
surface Of seed potatoes. Seed treat
ment does not reach black leg or other
types Of infection within the tuber
and of course has no effect on Rhizoc-
tonia or scab organisms in the soil.
Two solutions are in common use. The
one most generally recommended con-
tains four ounces of corrosive subli-
mate (bichlOride of mercury dissolv-
ed in 80 gallons Of water, The other

Guilty in cold water, amalgamates with
metals, is deadly poison when taken
internally, and deteriorates with use.
It must therefore be handled with
great care, used in wood or cement
containers, and renewed frequently.
Sacks employed as dipping containers
use up the chemical more rapidly than
crates. The formalin solution is
cheaper than corrosive sublimate, cas-
Ter to make up, does not change
strength on using, nor does it grow
weaker on standing as is frequently
stated, but 1t is less efficient and seems
sometimes to injure the seed slightly,
though usually this is not the case.
Spraying Controls Blight,
Spraying when properly done con-
trolls both the early blight and the late
blight. BY far the best mixture for
this purpose thus far devised is prop

pable of controlling almost completely
the most serious outbreaks Of late
blight, with large margin of profit AS
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of its use against
early blight, local conditions must de-

minor value as a plant stimulant, acts
as a protective covering, and exerts
a mildly repellent action against such
insects as flea beetles.

a pump which delivers the mixture
under a constant pressure of from
100 to 200 pounds and that it should
be equipped with an adequate num-
Der of nOzzles of a type that will

plant.
Soil sanitation measures, such as
crop rotation and the removal Of in
