The FurroW
Neys and Vieq0s Abont THE Farm

Recently hog cholera was reported
on the premises Of an up-to-date
farmer in the Cumberland Valley.
Two hogs had died, several were sick
and about one hundred were exposed
to infection. The attending veterinar-
ian advised vaccination which was
promptly done with the result that n )
additional cases of cholera developed.
The point that the Bureau of Animal
Industry, Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, wishes to bring out and
to the attention of other farmers and
hog raisers, is this: Had this farmer
not protected himself by having the
disease recognized early and vaccina-
ton administered promptly, in all
probability most, if not all, of the hogs
would have died; he would have lost
thousands of dollars and the consum
ing public would have had less pork
to eat.
Every hog that dies from cholera
means that much less pork for the
public to use and that much higher
price for the consumer to pay. Hog
cholera is a preventable disease and 1t
behooves every one, be he producer
or consumer, to take advantage of
every opportunity to spread the gospel
of sanitation regarding our food pro
ducing animals and thus help reduce
the H. c. l..

Once upon, time therf'was a. boy
who wanted, OH very much he wanted,
to buy a bag of new, smooth, colored
marbles. So he went with ten cents
to the toy shop. and, holding out his
money, said: Ten cents worth of
marbles, if you please"
But the Toy Man shook his head
sadly and said: twenty-five cents,
if you please
He Wanted 1t So Much
But the Boy had only ten cents, and
he was very much surprised. "Why,"
he asked, "are ten-cent bags of marbles
25 cents?"
Z In a second the Toy Man could tell
him. "The trains that bring the stone
from the quarries are not running .
he said. 81 must charge more for
what marbles l have"
Now the Boy wanted, oh, very much

In second the Engineer could tell
him. There is no coal being mined"
he said, "and how can l run freight
train without coal for my engine "
But the Boy wanted, oh, very much
he wanted a new bag of marbles, so
he went to the coal miner, and asked
him why he was not at work.
At once the Coal Miner could tell
him. The Grocer asks so much for his

The Magnolia Scale
Is Common

The largest scale insect found in
Pennsylvania is found growing on the
magnolia and tulip trees. Ordinarily
it is held in check by natural enemies,
but sometimes the scales become so
abundant as to threaten the health of
the tree In such cases the trees
should be sprayed in the early spring
before growth starts with one Of the
so-called soluable or miscible oils such
as Scalecide.
For further information regarding
shade tree pests. write to the Bureau
Of Plant Industry, Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture, Harrisburg.

usually enters by the break in the
skin or at an insect puncture, and the
rot is usually most prevalent in low
moist places or in weedy fields which
keep the fruit under moist conditions
and also harbor insects. The black
rot fungus also carries over winter
on old stalks, leaves and fruit. If the
disease is severe destroy all refuse
by fire in the fall, and plant elsewhere
another year.
Blossom end rot" is said to be due
to excessive variation in the moisture
supply while the tomatoes are form
ing. The tender tissues at the blossom
end is ruptured by sap pressure, and
is then rotted by various organisms.
No control measures can be giver
other than to keep an even water sup
ply.
Mosaic" is another tomato trouble
which may be severe in some cases.
1t is constitutional disease which
causes the leaves to assume lighter
sickly color and to show nothing of
yellowish areas in the normal dark
green of the leaf Usually this mott
ling can only be seen in the upper
leaves. In severe cases the leaves
become narrow and stringy and the
plant is dwarfed and unproductive. A
plant once affected by mosaic cannot
be cured, but the disease is easily
avoided since it is nearly always due
to infection in the seed bed from one
year to the next. A complete change
of seed bed soil will overcome this
disease which is not carried over in
the seed.

A New Weed
the Buffalo Burr


The Buffalo burr is very thorny
weed, recently introduced from the
central Western States by means of
baled hay. 1t is now found growing
on vacant lots near city livery stables
or on farms that have been using city
stable manure.
AS the plant is an annual and Is
propogated by seeds only. it can be
eradicated by preventing the plants
from producing seeds.

of weed central.

If your liver is not acting properly
