by specialists of the United States de- partment of agriculture.
 The equipment needed consists of a good hardwood barrel with the head out, and a galvanized tub that is small enough to slip into the barrel and allow the rim to catch and hold on the upper edge of the barrel. This will suspend the tub in.the upper part of the barrel.
 When the meat is cooled, salted, and ready to cure fill the barrel about two-thirds full of the meat, or to within an inch or two of the bottom of the tub. Suspend the tub, which has been filled with ice, in the. top of the barrel above the meat, or fill in the top of the barrel above the meat, or fill the tub after putting it in position. Wrap the top of the ice with cloth, and then cover the top of the barrel with cloth, old sacks or paper. Re- plenish the ice as needed, and empty water from the tub when putting in more ice. If the entire barrel is wrap ped with paper told newspapers will do) the ice will last longer.
 Meat, to keep we'll by this or any other cold storage method, must be properly handled from the killing to the salting.

borrowed $13.50 from local bank. With this money pen of Barred Plymouth Rocks, consisting of four hens and one cockerel, was bought. The profits from her chickens last year, her first in poultry work, were $375, and her flock for 1919 consisted of ? cockerels and 19 hens. By the use of trap nests and leg bands, the record as a layer of each hen had been observed, and only the good egg producers were kept. From January 1 to October 16 the 19 biddies laid 2,840 eggs. Miss Henning sells nearly all of the eggs for matching purposes; but the birds she raises, asides from the culls, bring from $15 to $20 a pen.
 The money this club girl has made through her poultry work is being used to pay her way through an agri- cultural high school.

fall round-ups also checked the feed ing operations. Feeders who own cattle ranges sold their animals in stead of putting them into the feed lot and certain ones after having been on pasture a month were turned back to the range on account of the uncer- tainty of the market. It is extremely difficult to anticipate what the mar ket will do in the next three months. Uncle Sam reports that we have about ten million more cattle than we had before the war. Apparently corn belt feed lots were not filled up with cattle this fall and from all one can gather there will be big demand for fat cattle during winter months. The uncertainty of the European outlet, also the uncertainty of the consuming capacity of the American people, ow- ing to the labor crisis makes it diff cult to estimate the local demand for meats. If we have hard times in this country it will be actively reflected on the amount and kind of meat used.
 There are great many dairy bred steers, mostly Holsteins, being fed in the Salt River valley. It is just possible that cattle feeders will make money out of them, but if they do. those who raise them will lose. This means that inferior dairy bred steers are losing proposition for somebody, and 1 would certainly rec ommend that all dairy bred grade male calves be killed within the first week after being dropped. I have seen quite number of dairy bred steers during the past week and judge there is not yearling that has not eaten over $5000 worth of feed and one cannot get more than $25.OO for them and there is not two-year- old that has not eaten $125.00 worth of feed and you cannot get more than $50.00 for them. It is just possible that one could handle such steers on a short feed and make little money from them, but I for one, would hes itate to handle them. The dairy bred heifer from the standpoint of feeding and profit making has also been just as unprofitable as the inferior bred steer."

a garden or a field becomes infected. Not only have the investigators for the United States department of agri- culture found varieties of potatoes which are immune but they have de- vised method of thoroughly disin- fecting the soil by the use of steam and formaldehyde.
 As result of the conference in Washington, it is announced that the state authorities of West Virginia and Pennsylvania will take steps to assist gardeners in the infected regions in the purchase of varieties of seed known to be immune. It may be found advisable, also, to undertake the disinfection of a limited number of garden plots. As the cost of this work is approximately $1,000 an acre, the efforts along this line will be linn tied until the most effective and eco- nomical methods have been discov- cred.

Prospects for Cattle Feeding.

Cattle Feeding.
 Cattlemen in Arizona in the cattle feeding business will be interested in the following comments by Dr. R. H.. Williams, animal husbandman of the University of Arizona, in answer to request from an Arizona stockman for information on feeding:
 "The present offers an interesting study in the cattle feeding situation in Arizona. Last year most cattle feeders lost money and because they did not have their cattle ready for market before April 1 they lost heav lily by the slump at that time. do not know anyone in Arizona feeding as many cattle as they did year ago and the large outfits are especially conservative in putting cattle on feed.
 Another feature intimidating ex-. pansion in cattle feeding this year is. the high cost of feeds. With alfalfa hay costing $25.00 to $30.00 a ton, milo maize $50.00 ton, cotton seed meal $72.00 and silage $9.00 a ton, feeders estimate that the high feed bill will eat up the profits of feeding.
 Il have met quite a number of the cattle feeders and nearly all of them state that they are limiting their op- erations this year. It just occurs to me that it would be good plan to get into the cattle feeding business be- cause there certainly will be scare ity next March and April. We can not expect the market to follow the same price fluctuations that obtained a year ago, and apparently there should be good market for we'll fin ished cattle in March and April. It is true that the desert looks especial ly promising at the present time, but the old-time cattlemen claim that h. dian wheat and desert forage seldom becomes sufficiently mature to force gains before the middle of April and range cattle are never fat enough for the butcher until the middle of May from desert ranges. Certainly the feed lots will be scraped clean before the middle of February and after this time it is expected that the price will be high.
 "The high price of feeders at the

COnquering Potato Wart In Infected Regions.

Reports given at a recent confer ence of officials from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland with the federal horticultural board of the. United States department of agricul- ture, called to consider the status of the potato wart disease, show that there has been only slight spread of this recently discovered menace to the potato industry of America, and that by planting immune varities further losses from the disease can be prac- tically eliminated. The potato wart is one of the most destructive maladies attacking potato crops in Europe, and heretofore no means has been known for eradicating it from the soil, once
