RHEUMATISM AND RAIN

Persons who suffer from rheuma e tism maintain that they can foreteif an approaching storm by the increas- ing frequency Of their pains and the. sharpness with which these dart through their body. says an exchange
 Often predictions Of this sort ara attributed to imagination, but they. have a very solid foundation Of truth. The human body reacts quickly to changes of air pressure because the. cells situated beneath the skin. When the air pressure on the outside Of the body decreases-as it does before a storm-the outward pressure ln these cells increases, and in the case of per. sons suffering from rheumatism or gout, causes additional pain.
 An old couplet describes the procssEl quite accurately by saying:
 "A coming storm your shooting cornz
 presage.
 Your aches will ihrob. your hollow
 tooth will rage"

MIXING HARD WATER
FOR SPRAYING USE
Burning of Foliage Will Not Occur i
caustic Soda and Soap Is Used.

Water from artesian wells and from
nearly all surface wells is hard, and
some spraying materials do not mix
well with it unless the water has been
softened. Burning the foliage often
occurs when oil sprays are mixed with
hard water.
This trouble can be eliminated easily,
say specialists of the Florida expert
ment station. Presume that your
spray tank will hold a little over 100
gallons. To the 100 gallons hard water
add 1 pound caustic soda that has been
dissolved in or gallons water. Stir
and allow to stand for one minute.
Dissolve 3 to pounds soap in to 6
gallons water and add to the solution.
Mix well. Now add a little of the in
.secticide. If thick. greasy scum
forms within five minutes, another
test should be made using a larger
quantity of caustic soda and soap
Lime sulphur solutions viii mix well
in hard water without the use OF any
softening material, but lime sulphur
should never be mixed with oil sprays.
Lime sulphur may be used in COM
bination with tobacco sprays for thrips
in the bloom.
If a combination sulphur oil spray
IS desired. the caustic soda sulphur
mixture may be employed successfully.
It should, however, be used a little
weaker than when employed alone.

SPRAYING CELERY
TOCONTROL BLIGHT
Systematic Use of Bordeaux Mixture
VIII Solve Problem Of Growers.

The spraying of celery for control
Of early blight IS an immediate prob
lem with Florida growers DR.. O. F.
Burger. plant pathologist at the Flor
ida experiment station, urges growers
Ito protect their celery by systematic
spraying with $3.50 bordeaux mix
ture. Whenever possible power spray
ers should be used
Spraying in the seeded should begin
when the plants are well through the
ground and be repeated weekly. Give
the first spraying in the field as soon
as the plants begin their new growth
and repeat at intervals of one or two
weeks. Frequency of spraying depends
on weather conditions and on the
amount of the disease present in the
field. Spray more often if the weather
is wet and much OF the disease is
present.
This trouble is caused by fungi 1t
is very probable that the disease is in
troduced to fields through rubbish and
manures containing remnants of celery
plants affected with the disease. 1t
has been observed that plants grown in
a seedbed previously affected were all
diseased. When transplanted to the
field, plants most often carry the dis
ease with them. Once the disease be-
gins its work, IL the weather is moist
and warm, it will be spread rapidly
over the field by rain and wind; the
wind easily carries the minute light
spores of the fungus from one plant
to another.
The disease can be identified by the
spreading ash gray spots it causes on
the leaf blades and petioles. The af-
fected parts soon dry and shrink
When weather conditions are
favorable to the disease, nearly all the
somewhat mature leaves become in
volved and are killed in a short time.
Plants of an entire field are often
affected in this way
Growers are cautioned to watch
closely for the disease and to spray
Immediately. County agents are in a
position to help those having troubles
Of this nature. Call upon them.

DIVERSITY IS KEY
TO GOOD FARMING
Man With Variety of Crops Is Sure
TO Be Successful.

Diversity, including the raising of
live stock. is without doubt the key
note to successful farming. Any one
crop, choose what you may, is sure to
fail in the long run.
The man with a variety of crops is
almost certain OF a substantial in
come, says Professor J. NJ. Scott, of
the Florida experiment station. With
the one-crop man the same thing is
not true. If the one crop falls. or if
the market for it is poor, much is lost
A farmer of the one-crop type must
depend on the band or fertilizer COM
pany to carry him through another
year when he strikes a bad year. If
he had diversified, mis- chances would
have been more numerous He would
have had hogs and cattle, eggs and
poultry to sell. He would have had
corn, potatoes, etc. All of these things
would help to tide over the bad year.
The farmer who grows a variety of
crops and has live stock on his farm
will be able to convert much Of his
crops into meat and milk and eggs,
and at the same time turn back to the
soil valuable plant food for future
crops. This is a general practice
farmers must follow, if they want to
live at home and board at the same
place. The farm that get a large
portion of its food. for man and beast
and SOIL from elsewhere, can hardly
be called real farm.
In order to carry stock through Pc
RODS when pastures are scant ample
provision must be made for storing
feed. Corn cribs, potato houses, hay
mows or sheds, and silos are neces-
sary. The silo is possibly the most
economical saver of feed for cattle. In
it the entire nutritive value of feed
can be saved. Silage is succulent.
furnishing green feed through the win
ter months It might take the place of
the pasture in summer during droughts.

POINTERS FOR
HOG KILLING
Animals Should BE Fed on Corn for
Two Weeks Before Slaughtering.


The fashioned scalding barrel is
stin recommended, but galvanized
iron tank is better when a number Of
hogs are to be killed
The water should be heated to 140
or 100 degrees, fahrenheit.
Caustic soda, wood ashes or lime
win help remove the scarf. Some adj
vocate tar for this purpose. There is
no objection to tar, but it is not quite
as effective as caustic soda or lime.
Do not let the hogs lie around after
being killed before placing in the
scalding barrel or tank. This makes
them harder to clean.
Hogs shot or killed by striking with
an ak or hammer over the brain and
then bled, do not bleed well. The
sticking should be done first. The
meat cures and keeps better.
Feed almost entirely on corn for a
couple OF weeks before killing. This
tends to make the meat and lard
firmer
DO not feed for "a hours before kill
ing.
Hogs should not be excited or chased
before being slaughtered.
BE sure to select q cool day and to
have plenty of ice available for cool
ing the meat A tight box is neces-
sary for packing the meat to cool.
one man with a block and tackle
can easily raise 500-pound hog to
any desired height.
A good practice is to kill the hogs
late in the afternoon; clean and re-
move the viscera; hang the carcass up
in cool, screened room over night.
This gives time for the animal heat
to escape and makes possible smooth,
even cutting in butchering.
BE sure that all animal heat has
escaped from the meat before applying
salt
Thick hams and shoulders, especially
if the weather is warm, are liable to
sour next to the bone unless plenty
of ice is used.

LUNG WORMS FOUND
in FLORIDA HOGS
Strict Precautions Are Necessary to
Eradicate Pests Once Entrance is
Gained.

Lung worms are quite prevalent
among Florida hogs According to DR..
A. L. sheaIy, professor of veterinary
science at the Florida college of agri-
culture the worms are spread through
the discharge of eggs from the nostrils
of infested hogs during COUGHING. The
eggs, coming in contact with the feed
or water, find entrance to the system,
either before or after Matching, through
the digestive tract. They may reinfest
the same animals or other hogs.
They are hard to eradicate once
they have gained entrance to the body.
Consequently prevention and santa
ton practices should be observed. DIR.
Shealy advices against feeding or pas
turing a large number Of animals to-
gether. The pastures should be ro-
tated frequently, and 1t is advisable to
cultivate and seed them, if possible.
All grass. leaves and other material
used for bedding should be raked and
burned once a week The surface of
sleeping quarters and pens should be
sprinkled literally with air-slacked
lime.
The feeding troughs should be washed
once a week with strong homemade
I've soap and boiling water rinsed
thoroughly and exposed to the sun.
Automatic waterers, which can be at
tached to a barrel, are satisfactory
and sanitary.
Spray the pens once a month with a
yNf ~ hn
creolin products Add sufficient lime
to show where the spray has been
applied.
In case of infestation the following
is suggested: One teaspoonful spirits
turpentine for a 1oO-pound hog, given
in a little moist chop, thoroughly
mixed once day for three days; with
hold six days and repeat even a third
or fourth time If necessary. Do not
give turpentine to pregnant sows.

BEE COLONIES ARE
FREE FROM DISEASE
BY Act of State Legislature This In
dustry Receives Every Protection.

The Florida legislature created the
our Bookkeeping industry might receive
every protection. A bee-disease sur
vey of the state was promptly begun by
officials of the state plant board, upon
whom was imposed the duty of adj
ministering the law.
AS a result of this survey it has been
found that the state is relatively free
from bee diseases, and every effort is
being made not only to keep it so, but
| if possible, to eradicate bee diseases
from the state.
Section of the bee-disease law
states that each and every colony of
bees shipped into the state must be
accompanied by certificate of inspec-
ton signed by an authorized state or
federal inspector.
That this precaution is fully justi-
fed was shown by a recent intercept
ton made by inspectors of the plant
board at Jacksonville. Eleven colonies
of bees were intercepted coming in
from a neighboring state in violation
of the law. The bees were consigned
to point in the peninsular portion of
the state.
Upon inspection the colonies were
found to be infected with American
foul brood, highly contagious dis
ease Of bees. They, of course, were de-
stroyed at once
Had these bees been delivered to the
consignee and been located in the vi
cinity Of other bees. the disease would
have been introduced into other apiar-
les and a money loss impossible to
estimate brought about, according to
the inspectors.
The state plant board is bending
every effort to eradicate bee diseases
and to make Florida first in bee
keeping.

MAKES NEAT sum
FROM POULTRY
AIachua County Girl Is AIao Expert in
Sewing and Pig Raising.

Four hundred fifty four dollars and
.fifty-one cents ($45451) is the snug
little sum made as a clear profit IN one
season by Miss Lucille Ellis, an Alachua
county girl from flock of poultry.
Lucille is a club girl and has been for
a number of years. For two years,
last year and this, she has won schol
arships to the club girls short course
given at the state college for women
at Tallahassee by the home demonstra-
ton department of that institution. In
fact. last year. she won two OF those
scholarships. but, of course, could not
use them both. This year she has won
three scholarships, but, as before, she
can use only one.
Lucille this year wins first prize in
Alachua in the sewing, pig and poultry
clubs. In fact. according to those in
position to know. she is just about as
good a club girfzas is to be found It
is certain from her record that she de-
serves a place in the hall of fame when
it comes to point of individual achieve
ments.

EXPERIENCE OF A
PLANT INSPECTOR
Mansoes Brought from Cuba Found
to Be Infected with Fruit Fly.

! Located in all the ports of Florida
are representative Of the state plant
board who have the responsible duty
: OF intercepting insects and diseases
which might be injurious to the agri-
culture of this state and country. Hav-
ing a varied experience Of coming in
contact with all kinds Of people and
conditions, these inspectors have many
interesting stories to tell. The follow
/ ing quotations are from a letter writ
ten by one OF them to a friend:
- A lady passenger brought a
/ chip basket with several mangoes in
it each wrapped in paper, but none
OF which were fully ripe She said
she paid SO for the basket and was
rather put out at the seizure of the
fruit
eve discussed the matter from all
angles for is minutes. / told her Of
the quarantine against mangoes, ETC.
from Cuba on account Of the West
Indian fruit fly. +"*
"She was very conversant and I en-
joyed the discussion. She did not ex-
actly offer to bride me. but said she
supposed there was a way to get the
fruit in by paying money. | assured
her there was not, that in spite Of
vigorous protests and entreaties we
had made no exceptions. She gave
me her word of honor not to unwrap
even one of the mangoes before she
got to New Jersey. Then she de-
manded the privilege of giving the
fruit to the stewardess on the Cuba.
told her that the fruit was prohib
tied on the Cuba inside the three
mile limit
"She said that there had been no
publicity Of the mango rule in Cuba.
told her 1 personally had explained
it to the Cubans and that it had been
published in the papers and even taken
up by the Cuban government at Wash
ington She said it should have been
published in the Havana Post so the
Americans would know about it.
II told her that in the Isle Of Pines
a certain gentleman and the entire
Chamber of Commerce had pledged
themselves to discourage their people
from bringing mangoes in illegally
and, yet, last week we had to contis
cate a dozen mangoes from this same
gentleman.
Il finally told her was sorry and
took the basket and locked it up in
the detention box and went down to
fumigate This morning the fruit in
the basket was ripe enough to inspect
and we found mango infested with
the fruit fly"

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
From 26 local egg circles which left
the problem still unsOlved, to Il state
wide marketing association with
central offices in Portland, is the step
taken by poultryTuen i'll Oregon in
solving the egg-marketing problems.
The story, officials of the bureau of
markets and crop estimates of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture believe, points a lesson for egg
producers in other parts of the coun-
try. Recent reports of the success
Of the association were received by
them with much interest, as being an
outgrowth of community egg circles
along lines advocated by the depart
ment.
Egg circles, they say, are good to
start small groups of producers along
the right course, but do not solve the
larger egg-marketing problems, for as
soon as circle grows to such a size
as to handle a half carload of eggs
it becomes "a real business PROPOSE
ton.
Handle Eggs for Few Producers.
The circles in Oregon were organ
lied in the leading pOultry-prOducing
sections and each operated independ-
emily of the others for a while, sell
ing their eggs TO Portland produce
dealers or TO private customers, such
as hotels and restaurants. They
found however, that they were still
helpless and had very little control
over their products. Some eight or
ten circles near Salem co-operated
through the Salem circle manager,
but the business was so small it was
not very encouraging. Things went
from bad TO worse, and it was de-
cided to form an exchange with Of
| fees in Portland to which all the cir
cles could consign their eggs.
This move was ,ridiculed by produce
dealers, for they knew the farmers
were not under contract with the cir
cles or the exchange; the dealers,
| therefore. would be able to Obtain their
supply of eggs by offering higher
prices at the country buying points
! than the exchange could realize on the
market During the egg-stOrage sea-
son some Of the firms paid more in
the country, and, as they predicted, the
exchange practically failed, and it
appeared for a time that cooperation
in the poultry business was at an end
| in Oregon.
A study was made of the Poultry
! Producers association of central Cal
| ifOrnia, which was more successful
and as result after years effort
the Oregon producers launched forth
again to do their own business on g
new basis A statewide member
/ ship campaign was undertaken, anC
the producers were asked to join the
