More than 1000 American soldiers

last two years and ten months. accord
inc to estimates of American officers
and German civil officials. Most Of
the men and their wives already have
been sent to the United States.
Many soldiers who desired to marry
and remain in the service on this side
took great, pains, Officers say, to keep
the facts from becoming known gen
orally Officers say some of the sol
diers took their prospective into un
occupied Germany, and were married
there, most Of these events having
taken place when America and Ger

CROPS and PROFIT
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS
ING ON AGRICULTURISTS
Farmer on Low-Prlced, Fertile Lands,
Still to Be Had, 10 In Best
Possible Position.

The economic problems connected
with the advantageous marketing Of
farm crops and the financing of the
movement of those crops are pressing
upon agriculture most severely. They
will be solved, however, and while
that solution is being worked out 1t
Is simply good sense on the farmers
part to make his efforts toward pro-
duction tell to the very maximum, as
best carrying him through the period
Of depression and hard times and
placing him In the best position to
take the greatest possible advantage
of the better times to come. We may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock,
is almost invariably the largest crop
which can be obtained Or in other
words, the greater the crop, the
greater the net profit. To attain such
crops and to place himself in the ad-
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must study, and must apply
the results of his study to such prob
lens as soil fertility, its conservation
and Increase; soil moisture, its con-
troll; cultural methods, suitable and
productive varieties, etc, etc.
The question is how can you best
accomplish and secure these things?
Can they be done on high-priced lands,
by paying high rents, with the prices
you get for your produce no greater
than may be had from that grown
and raised on much cheaper lands,
whose production is fully as great as
that of the high-priced lands? The
answer is unquestionably in favor Of
the low-priced lands, when they are
selected because of their soil fertility
and the other requirements necessary.
1t is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands of Western
Canada would prove a splendid and
ready solution, but to emphasize the
fact that in order to overcome your
present difficulty, to remove some of
che burden that you are laboring un-
der, you must secure some line of
cheaper operation, whether it be re-
moval to other parts in your own
country where such opportunity may
offer, or take advantage of that which
Western Canada affords.
For information regarding these
advantages apply to any Canadian
government agent.-Advertisem

Burned Forests Build No Homes.

the United States destroy or damage
sufficient timber to build houses for

it is said, is equal to strip ten miles
wide reaching from New York City to
Denver, Colo The publication directs
attention to the fact that fifteen years
ago the bulk of public sentiment
against forest fires was in the East
Today it is in the West, where 81 per
cent of the remaining timber supply of
the country is located. Over S1,000,-
600 acres of forest land that We're for
merly covered with timber are logged
off or burned and completely denuded
of tree growth. The solution of for
estry problems, experts say, lies large
ly in fire prevention and reforestation.

CORN FOR sILAGE PURPOSES
Early Planting Of WeII-Matured Seed
Of Large Variety Is Often
Most Profitable.

In the north an early planting of
well-matured seed of large variety
of corn is often most profitable when
the crop Is intended for silage pur-
poses. OF course, If grain crop Is
desired, the corn variety must be
chosen that has the best chance Of
maturing good yield of grain. But
If silage Is the object, the same de-
gree of maturity Is not necessary.
The production may be increased SIM
ply by choosing somewhat longer
season crop, one that will reach the
proper ensiling stage at about the
same time the Northern grain would
have to be maturing. Here Is one
more place where the Northern silo
owner can get the jump on some OF
his less fortunate neighbors.

BIG DANGER IN USING LIME
When All Acidity Of Soil Has Been
Used Up There Is Trouble In
Raising Some Crops.

A test was made covering 15 years
of growing truck crops with manure,
at the rate of ten loads to the acre,
and with other fertilizers. The fer
tiIized plots yielded good crops for
few years and then failed. Doctor
Hartwell of the Rhode Island expert
ment station does not advise any fer
tilizers In continuous crop rotation
without green manuring. He said that
Rhode Island was responsible for the
use of lime, and now it ought to be
responsible for saying that there is
danger in using too much lime. When
you have used up all the acidity In the
soil you are in for trouble, especially
with such crops as spinach. If you do
not get any pink on blue litmus paper,
the soil does not need more lime.

CUCUMBER DISORDER
SPREAD BY INSECTS
Mosaic Disease Is Widespread
in the United States.
wild Cucumber Vine and Common
milkweed Are Principal Host
Plants Of Malady-Eradica-
tion Is Strongly Urged.

tPrepnred by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
The wild cucumber vine and the
common milkweed, as shown by in
vestigations by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, are the prin-
cipal wild host plants of the cucum-
Der mosaic, or white pickle" disease.
Ihls disease is widespread In the
United States. but is most general and
serious in the Middle West, where the
major portion Of the pickle-growing
Industry is located. Cucumber mosaic
is caused by virus, and the most
common means of spreading it is by
two kinds of insects, the striped
cucumber beetle, the melon aphis, and
by pickers. The disease is not carried
through the winter in the soil or by
insects. and trials have shown that

Mosaic Disease of Cucumber.

seeds from diseased cultivated cucum-
bers rarely produce mosaic plants. 1t
has been found, however, that seeds
from mosaic fruits of the wild cucum-
Der will produce a certain percentage
of mosaic plants when planted and
the disease may thus winter over on
this wild host. Wild cucumber vines
appear along fences and streams from
three to four weeks before the culti-
waited cucumbers are planted, and the
striped cucumber beetle feeds on
these wild plants and then flies to
the cucumber fields, carrying the
mosaic virus if it exists. The COM
mon milkweed Is also subject to Gu
cumber mosaic and as 1t lives for
many years the disease is reproduced
each year from the diseased roots.
Insects, particularly the melon aphis,
are also the agents which carry
mosaic from milkweed to cucumber.
Eradication Of these wild hosts is
strongly advised as the most effective
control measure yet known. Field
experiments Indicate that such treat
ment not only reduces the amount Of
disease in the fields, bur also its seri-
BUSINESS by delaying its appearance
by two to four weeks just at the time
when the plants are producing large
yields.

detached from the head of the pail,
the air tubes (on imitation types Of ma
chines) plugged, and the whole i'm
mersed in tank of clean water. The
water is then heated to 16O degrees or
ITO degrees f. This may be done by
setting the tank on Il stove; by setting
1t up and building fire under 1t; or
by introducing steam from boiler.
The parts are left in this water until
the next milking.
The effect of heating upon the rub
ber parts has not yet been fully de-
termined, but so far the temperatures
used have had little effect on the life
of the rubber.
Clean Thoroughly Each Week.
To keep the machines sweet ana
clean they must be taken entirely
apart once a week and all the parts
scrubbed with brushes and hot soda
solution. The vacuum line should be
cleaned every two weeks by drawing
hot soda solution through 1t, but II
milk is accidentally drawn into 1t the
nine should be cleaned Immediately
after milking. Pals and covers need

or boiling water after every milking.
It is important that the development
of mechanical mixers should not be
handicapped by improper methods OF

In addition to laboratory observations
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has tried out methods of clean
ing and sterilizing mechanical mixers
on a number of farms.
On Is farms where only ordinary
care was given, the highest bacteria
count was more than 100000 per
cubic centimeter, and the average was
more than quarter of million. After
the machines had been kept clean and
sterilized by the hot-water method, the
average of 261 samples showed less
than 10000 bacteria per cubic cent?
meter, and one sample showed only
one thousand. OF course, with careless
methods, milk produced by hand milk
ing may be badly contaminated; but
the milking machine, being an addi-
tional piece of apparatus between the
cow and the consumer should receive
special care.
Hot-Water Method Best.
Sterilizing milking machines with a
chlorine solution has been done on a
good many farms, but the tests made
by the department have shown that
much better results come from the use
of the hot-water method. Just after
milking, the machines are rinsed with
cold or lukewarm water drawn through
by vacuum, the stream being broken
occasionally by pulling the teat cups
out of the water and immersing them
again. This is done 10 or Il times. The
process is then repeated with hot soda
solution, and the cups and tubing are
washed with brush at the same time.
Then the parts are rinsed by drawing
clean water through by vacuum.
After this cleaning. the long milk
tubes with the teat cups attached are
