Whatever your station IN the

your brains that placed you
there.

Of success, you have made good
use Of your brains, have employ

If you have slipped downward
in the scale Of life, you have fail

the opportunities afforded you.
You have held the business instin-
ct Of your brain in check. You
have not permitted it to function
properly.
Brains were made to use-noI
to abuse.
This fact should be kept we'll
in mind by the young men Of this

Hog Cholera Breaking Out.

Hog cholera which sometimes costs
Iowa farmers many millions of dol
lars per year, is looming UP Oh the
horizon. According to DR.. G. IL
STANCE, director Of the veterinary di.
vision of Iowa State college. many out
breaks have been reported in the
northwestern part Of the state during
the last week.
THE main reason for this" de-
clared Mr. STANCE lis that farmers he.
come lax In the care Of the pigs and
do not see need for vaccination as
long as the pigs are well. Vaccina-
ton is the only way to combat the
disease. If the pigs show signs OF
sickness it is advisable to call re-
putable veterinarian. Saving one hog
at present prices will more than pay
the costs of vaccinating the entire
herd"
1T is good plan to keep the hog
lots cleaned up these days. See that
a good clean water supply is available
and that the hogs are free from para
sites. If hog is noticed to be sick.
separate him at once from the rest Of
the herd until he has been properly
diagnosed. Prevention by vaccination

Harvest Potatoes With Care.

Potatoes should he treated with care
if they are to be preserved during the
winter months and into spring. The
horticultural department of Iowa State
college has hints which will help out.
In digging the potatoes be careful not
to bruise them. break the skin or leave
them exposed to the sun for length of
time. Bruises allow bacteria to enter
and the potatoes soon rot in these spots.
One rotten potato in a buShel in stOr-
age will ruin them all. If they are
left in the sun they will become sun
burned or green and this ruins the eat
ing quality as the potatoes are rank
and bitter
In storing the potatoes. see that the
bin is properly cleaned out before the
potatoes are deposited there. Special
care should be taken with seed pOta-
toes. Washing the bin with formalin
solution first is good plan. The
potato bin should be dark. protected
from heat and cold and have good
ventilation and not collect moisture.
Any of these factors will aid disease
and ruin the potatoes.
In figuring storage for potatoes, al

Does Much Breeding Work.


The farm crops sectie of Iowa
State college has produced many new
varieties in oats, tested the straw pro-
duced and made the state approximate
~ two and three quarters millions of
dollars during its period of operation
since 1906.
Over $4,000 head selections of oats
wheat and barley have been tested
in the field for quality, hardness and
other characteristics. Three thousand
of these were given five year tests in
the cereal nursery and from these
the station has given to the state
! five new varieties of grain. They are
Iowa 1O3, Iowa 1O5 and Iowa oats
and Iowa 4O4 and Iowa 327 winter
wheat.
Not only in Iowa have these grains
given greater results in production
but in the neighbOring states as well.
Government estimates show 1.jOO.OOO
acres of these oats in the fields with
an increase in production Of 4.jOO.OOO
bushels due to the Iowa station work
alone.
The breeding work is only small
part of the work done at the expert
mental farm since the use of fertil-
izers rates and distances of seeding
and smut treatments form vast
amount Of work designed to benefit
Iowa.

Also it is the time when the flies arr
scarce and do not stick in the paint.
If the barn needs few pieces OF
boards or few shingles it is better
to devote a little time to it while the
weather is warm than to have to re.
pair it in the winter.
If there are windows see that they
are cleaned and that the putty is in
good shape.
Often foundations need little
cement in the joints around the cor
ners or elsewhere and the trOughs need
fixing.

Start After the Rats.

Rats. which cause considerable loss
to Iowa farmers, should be fought
consistently. say the biological de-
partment of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Rats reproduce
so rapidly that spasmodic raid on
them is not lasting. They begin to
bear young when three months old
and have six to ten litters per year
with an average Of ten young per lit
ter.
The best method of control is to
make rat proof buildings SO the pests
cannot get inside and eat All waste
food should be disposed of so the rats
cannot get it.
Where it is possible poison should
be given them and barium carbonate
is satisfactor killer. Traps should
also be kept going as in the past.
Bait them with fresh meat, nuts or
vegetables and they get the rats.
