GREW WHISPERS TO GET JOB

Charles Il. Hughes, secretary of

had his bachelor degree before he

teaching his life work, and he did
devote some years to that occupation.
His first application for a job was as
teacher Of Greek in small eastern
college. The head Of the department
received him kindly. but evidently re-
garded his youthful appearance as
making him an impossibiEty in that
line.

prepared BY the United states Department
Of Agriculture)
The job Of graduating the common
barberry has proved 20 be a much
more extensive one than was antici-
pated by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture at the outset OF
the campaign In April, 1918. This
campaign was begun as a control
measure against the enormous losses
Of grain from black-stem rust. In
years Of moderate rust epldemics. the
reduction In the yield OF wheat alone
has amounted to 50.O00OO0 bushels,
while in 1916, the year of n very Sc
we're epidemic, there was a reduction
In yield of 1s0,0O0,OO0 bushels in the
United States alone.
Bushes Grow Everywhere.
In the grain-growing districts OF the
upper Mississippi valley, where the
campaign has been carried on, 1t was
supposed that barberry bushes existed
chiefly as ornamental plants in the
towns and cities. This was disproved
during the first year Of the campaign
BY the finding Of 176.430 bushes on
1 ,l66 rural properties. About 5000
of these were scattered widely over
i27 properties. showing that all coun-
try bushes are not confined to the
farnsteads, hut had been spread to
woodland, pastures. stream banks, and
fence rows by the distribution of seeds
by birds.
With these facts in mind, the cam
palgn was more vigorously pushed in
1919 As soon as the survey Of most
elties and villages was completed, a
farm-to-farm survey Of certain definite
areas was begun. The results in 1919
were as follows: $4,000 bushes were
found on 14,100 city properties, while
: 7ea 900 bushes we're found on 4.eaa
farms. OF these last, 1,6S0,O00 bushes
were ones that had escaped from cul-
tivation on 1000 properties.
During the calendar year 1920 eff
forts were concentrated upon the farm
to-farm survey. A resuryey Of cities
and villages in the counties surveyed
was carried on at the same time, In

SHELTER TURKEYS IN WINTER
Good Plan to Keep Fowls in Same
House They Are Expected to Use
In Laying Season.

1t is good plsn to house the tur-
keys during the winter months where
they are expected to lay during the
laying season. A straw barn makes a
very desirable shelter for turkeys dur
ing the winter season and, being little
used in the spring and early summer,
makes very suitable place for the
turkeys to lay and brood in. A little
forethought may prevent the turkey
hen from stealing her nest away in
the spring.

SUNSHADES FOR LUCKY DOGS
innovation That Was Brought About
by the Protracted Spell Of un-
usually Hot Weather.

One of the quaintest innovations OF
the recent heat wave In London was
the Introduction Of sunshades for
dogs. These consisted of light crepe
decline projections suspended over
the animals necks by light wire
strands.
The lucky animals whose masters
or mistresses bought the sunshades
did not seem so pleased with them as
perhaps the donors had hoped, re-
marked London Answers.
One dog found the heat so oppres-
slve that he sought the shelter Of a
railway tunnel on the Highbury tube.
Here he was. however. so frightened
by the continual passing of trains
that he shrank into a dark corner and
remained there for two days, until
his master, on the Information Of a
railway man, fetched him.
Although sunshades for dogs made
their first appearance, there was a
strange absence OF the straw hats
that horses used to wear before the
war. Have horses been so hardened
by the great campaign that they do
not need the consideration that dogs
get?

Cover crops are Of especial value to
small gardeners and trucksters, who
often find 1t both difficult and expen-
sive to obtain stable manure. They
add the humus which is so necessary
to maintain a good physical condition
of the soil. Wherever there is a vacant
place in the garden few seeds of rye,

raked in. If suitable rotation of
crops is followed all parts of the gar
den may be covered with green ma

Needed to Prevent Waste Of Corn.
gases which are almost as dangerous
as the poisonous mustard gases used
during the recent war. In this in
stance, one of the farm workmen
entered 50-foot siio which mad been
half filed the previous day. Some
time elapsed and when he did not
come out, another Of the hands as
cended into the silo. Neither re-
appeared. though the other workers
shouted to them repeatedly to come
down.
Fearing an accident. the farm owner
finally climbed into the silo. He also
was Immediately overcome by the
poisonous fumes and only the fact
that others followed him, forced open
the extra sllo doors and carried him
into the open air saved his life. The
two other men were suffocated i'm
mediately.
Each year. number Of accidents %
this kind occur, due largely to care
Iessness and ignorance Of the proper
methods of eradicating the dangerous
gases. The preventive measures are
simple and efficient and, where they
are followed, there is no danger.
No workman should ever enter
partly filed silo, after the ensiIed
corn has had an opportunity TO de
velop poisonous carbon monoxide
gases overnight, until the machine
blower has been started. The fresh
air dllutes and scatters the obnoxious
gases to the extent that they are
rendered harmless. After the blower
has been operated for two minutes,
it is perfectly safe for the worEmen
to enter. Another precaution which
should be practiced religiously is not
to wedge the silo doors into place I'M
til they are needed to prevent the
waste Of the ensiled corn. Many
farmers follow the practice Of plae-
ing most Of the doors before any great
amount of corn Is cut and deposited
in the silo. This prevents free cir
culation Of air through the silo which,
In turn. operates to favor the accumu-
latlon Of carbon monoxide and other
deadly silo gases.
