POOR OLD tom LIKE
MANY A POOR OLD MAN

Bill has had old Tom for nine
teen years. The horse was given to
Bill by his father for Bill to drive
when he started going to town to
high school every day. Bill figures
the horse must be past 25 years
old, but he's always had a lot Of
love and good care and he's a
hearty old thing for his years.
But he can't work in the fields
any more. Last year Bill put him
in on some Of the lighter work
just to satisfy him, but he was no
help and the other horses bit at
him.
He's on pasture now, and he
walks up and down the fence all
day following Bill and his outfit
in the other field, whining and
just breaking his old heart to see
the young horses there under the
guidance and the voice Of the only
man old Tom ever loved.
It seems too bad, doesn't it,
that a man or horse or any living
thing, should work so long and SO
hard and when the easy days come,
instead of rolling around i'll the
blue grass, and enjoying life, the
poor old creature just spends his
days grieving for the work he's
free from?-Farm Life.

TOO much to say that if some pIaoue
were to suddenly destroy all our bird
IRE, injurious insects and rodents would
shortly increase to such an extent. in
spite of all our efforts to the contrary,
as to make agriculture practically i'm.
possible.
One year with another, nature main
talns a certain balance in connection
with all animal life. When man inter
feres and upsets the balance he must
pay for it, sooner or'"later In no in
stance is this better illustrated than in
the rapid increase of rodent pests as
a new country becomes settled, result
ing IN heavy property losses and calling
Tor the outlay of very great sums of
money in control measures, the ipcrcas.
Of these rodents being largely due TO
the unrestricted killing of their natural
enemies, as well as to the putting Of
large acreages under cultivation and so
increasing their natural food supply.
Gophers, squirrels, mice, rats. rabbits
etc, are credited with causing an an.

HOG CHOLERA IS
SPREADING OVER
PART OF STATE

Recent Investigations in several
northern California counties have
shoWn that cholera III hogs is spread
ing in certain districts due apparently
to lack Of appreciation by hog owners
of the Importance Of early reeogni-
ton Of the disease. The situation is not
yet so serious rs to necessltatc the
placing Of quarantine OIL the move
mcnt of hogs in these counties but un-
less prompt cooperative measures can
be established with the local hog rails
ers, this drastic procedure may be put
into effect by the California depart
mcnt of agriculture in order to pro
tect swine owners in adjoining coun-
ties and other parts of the state where
proper precautions arc being observed
to prevent such " flare-upso of chol
era.
While sporadic outbreaks of this
disease may occur in any part of the
state at intervals, there is 10 excuse
for general spread throughout any
given territory if hog owners will
properly dispose of animals which
have died of cholera and will take
advantage of recognized prophylactic
procedures.
Hog owners should bear the follow
ing points in mind:
Early diagnosis is imperative.
Suspect cholera when the first ami
NAL becomes sick
Isolate affected animals at once.
Burn all cholcra earcasses immed
lately.
Disinfect premises after removal of
sick animals.
When occasion to dispose Of Il dead
animal again arises the California de
partmcnt of agriculture suggests that
the following method of burning be
given a trial:
Pile wood around and over the car
cass and cover the whole with Il liber-
al amount of coarse stable manure or
moist hay or straw Place on the wind
ward side underneath the manure some
highly inflammable material and
touch a match to it. In this way the
fire will get a good start and will con
tinue to burn or shoulder for several
days. There will then remain only a
pile of. ashes. The carcass and all the
germs in it will be consumed.

U. S. FIGHTS STATE
TOMATO BLIGHT

The United States department of
agriculture has assigned Michel Shap-
avolov to the study of the Western OF
California tomato blight. This is a
disease of the tomato which until this
time has'defied all treatments and has
caused irregular damage varying from
small to great for Il number of years.
The disease has not been identified
with any fungous or bacterial organ
ism, and has altogether been a puzzle
to the pathologist.
Affected plants ,occur irregularly
throughout the field and do not re
cover when once started to decline.
The entire plant usually begins to
show damage at the same time, the
leaves yellowing, rolling and turning
over, exposing the purplish veins on the
under side. 1t is only in the later
stages of the disease that the leaves
dry and withcr, up to that time being
leathery and toughened rather than
dying back at the edges, as with Ger
tain diseases.
A big step in the handling of this
disease will be made of Mr.. Shapavolov
succeeds in fixing its cause. Treat
ments may thereafter be worked out.
Mr. Shapavolov will probably be locat-
ed at Riverside as headquarters. lie
will complete general survey of the
occurrence of the disease, which work
he started some some time ago, and in
tensivcly study the problem both i'll

RESULTS FIGURED
OUT PROVE THAT
COW TESTS PAY

The Los Angeles County Farm Bu
reau Cowtesting Association, which
started work in May, 1918, shows justi
fication for its existence i'll the sum
mary of the past years work. Since
the work first started it has been
ak en- over by the dairymen s depart
ment, which was organized in the
spring of 1920. The statistical report
covering the work of every herd which
has been i'll the association nine months
ol longer, gives much interesting data.
The figures given in this report are
self explanatory, but from these figures
il is interesting to compare the work
Of different herds with their previous
production.
The most notable increase in produc
ton over that of last year was made
by James d! Hoffman, who owns the
FL Mirador dairy. Last year he had
an average herd production of 1868
pounds of butter fat, while this year
his entire herd averaged 1882 pounds,
an increase of S6.7 pounds of butter
fat per COW. During the year 1919 to
1920 Mr.. Hoffman S herd averaged
320.5 pounds Of butter fat. This shows
year to year
In considering the increase in pro
luction, the cost ranges from - to 2l
cents per test per month, which would
make an average of about II cents in
The whole association, and when figured
that the COWS in the association are
being MIXED about ten months during
the year, this would make an average
cost per COW of $l.10 per year. Figure
the increase in returns at one dairy,
taking that of Mr.. Hoffman for exam
pie, who had an average increase of
SCI pounds Of butter fat per COW dur
ing this past year, At price of 90
cents per pound of butter fat, which is
the price dairymen have been receiv-
ing the past year, this would make an
increase to Mr.. Hoffman of $7S.03 per
COW over what he would have received
had his average production remained
the same as it was year ago. In other
words, for $1.70 expending for testing,
MIR. Hoffman has been able to increase
his earnings by $500 per COW.

NATURE HAS WAY TO
KILLPESTS

Not long ago the writer found dead
barn owl by the roadside near Lakeside,
in San Diego county, Shot, no doubt,
by an unthinking boy, or perhaps by
a careful poultryman with the idea OF
protecting his young chickens.
The real tragedy in the death of this
barn owl lies in the fact that thought
lessness and well intentioned ignorance,
if such a term may be used, are contin-
ually responsible for the destruction of
many birds and animals that are very
directly of the greatest importance III
connection with successful agriculture.
Particularly is this benefit to man
true with such birds as hawks and owls,
with certain exceptions as noted below,
in the control of rodent pests; of spar
rows, blackbirds, killdeers, orioles,
meadow larks and countless other birds

carly maturing pullets with late matur-
ing pullets.
These two types of pullets were sep
arated in July and production records
kept on them for the five months be

carly maturing pullets averaged 4S.5
eggs per bird while the late maturing
pullets averaged only 24.4 eggs per
bird, more than "a eggs per bird in
tavor of the early maturing pullcts.
Although this would perhaps indi
cate that il would not pay to keep
late maturing pullets, Mr.. Easson did
not recommend that they be disposed

and the late maturing pullets given a

suggest, however, that Il few of the

stated it was impossible at this time
to make definite recommendations on
the culling of pullets and that it was
