EASTER SERVICES
At THE CHURCHES

The morning of Easter day the
sun struggled hard for supremacy,
and for short time was success
full, and then the cold wintery
winds fun of sheet and snow caused
a darkness across the sun. Very
few people were parading in their
new spring finery in the afternoon,
seemingly it was more cheerful in
warm room, and so they remained
home,
In the churches, the spirit of
Easter was manifest in the flowers
which adorned the pulpits, the spe-
cial music which was prepared for
the day, and the sermons which
were filled with the meaning OF
Easter and its uplifting faith.
CONVERSATIONAL CHURCH.
The church was decorated with
beautiful plants and cut flowers.
The two hundred and seventy-five
seats were all occupied at the morn
ing service.
After the usual opening service
he rite of Baptism was administered
to two little girls, then later to five
of those uning with the church.
Seventeen members received the
land of fellowship after which the
choir rendered the Cantata. "The
Resurrection and the Life" The
ervices were very impressive.
Those in the choir were Mesdames
3riegleb, Cannon, Braden and Miss
3lunk and Messrs. Norell, Braden,
SESSIONS and Thompson. Mrs. Ste
gart, organist.
One hundred thirty-seven remain

In the evening the audience not
1nly occupied all seats but all stand

Pageant "The Gate Beautiful" was
made very effective by keeping the

TIME TO sow SWEET CLOVER
Best Plan Is to Plant 1t in Winter or
z Spring With Nurse Crop or Dur
ing Mid Summer.

It. is not generally recommended
that sweet clover be sown IN corn in
the fall. A better way is to sow it
either in the winter or spring with a
nurse crop or during midsummer on a
firm seed bed free of other crops By
having compact seed bed and giving
heavy application of seed, it is
possible that a good stand can be
secured in standing corn but much
depends upon the weather. An added
advantage results from cutting the
corn off for silage, since this gives
the small plants more sunlight. There
is great risk, however, in sowing any
kind of seed in corn after the last cul-
tivation because of the usual dry
weather period that follows. Some
farmers make a success of this sort of
seeding but ordinarily it is better
policy to seed in another way if that is
possible.

also make it possible to utilize crops
grown primarily in rotation for re-
storing the fertility of worn-out lands.
The comparative value of a number
of different silage crops for steer feed
ing was recently worked out by the
department in cooperation with the
Louisiana experiment station. In one
instance similar lots of cattle were
fed ration of cottonseed meal and
blackstrap molasses in combination
with corn silage, corn and Biloxi soy
bean silage, sorghum silage, sorghum
and Biloxi soy-bean silage.
The best gain was made by the
steers fed the straight corn silage, but
it was shown that the capacity of a
farm for fattening or wintering cattle
may be greatly increased by the use
of heavy-yielding silage crops such MS
sorghum and Japanese cane. Imma-
ture Biloxi soy beans mixed with corn
or sorghum were not so satisfactory,
but with late-maturing crops like Japa-
nese cane these soys gave very good
results. Sorghum silage and Japanese
cane and Biloxi soy-bean silage are
practically equal in feeding value for
steers when supplemented by cotton
seed meal and molasses.

RECIPE FOR FLY REPELLENT
Cattle Can Be Greatly Relieved From
Pests by Application of Coal
Tar Mixture.

Cattle can be greatly relieved from
flies by spraying in the morning be-
fore going to pasture with some fly
spray. For this the following home
made spray is efficient and cheap :
-Four and one-haf quarts coal-tar dip,
four and one-half quarts fish oil. three
quarts coal oil, three quarts whale oil,
one and one-half quarts oil Of tar.
three pounds laundry soap.
Dissolve the laundry soap in water
and mix the other ingredients thor
oughly and bring the whole up to 80
gallons. This spray can be applied
with an ordinary spray pump and will
give relief from flies the greater part
of the day.
Some provision for shade will Offer
relief to certain extent from heat

POST TREATMENT
is MONEY SAVER
Experiments at Iowa College
With Water Gas Tar in Con-
Junction With Creosote.
RY-PNODUCT OF GAS PLANTS
Creosotine. Will Lengthen Lire Of
Posts Of Any Kind Of Wood--Is
Especially Valuable With Cot
tonwood or Willow.

A new economy in the preservative
treatment Of fence posts is in sight, If
experiments with the use Of water gas
tar in conjunction with creosote,
which are being conducted by forest
ers of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station, justify the belief that
the tar can be utilized.
Water gas tar, by-product of arti-
fetal gas plants, is much cheaper than
creosote. The purpose of the expert
ments is to determine whether or not
the tar can be successfully used in a
mixture with the creosote and in what
proportions to give the best results.
The economic value of the preserva-
tive treatment Of posts has been dem
onstrated in many cases, says G. b.
Macdonald, head of the forestry de-
partment at the college. Creosoting
will lengthen the life of posts of any
kind Of wood, but it is especially valu-
able with soft woods.
Tests have shown that such soft
woods as willow and cottonwood,
which last only three or four years if
untreated, will serve as posts for from
20 to 25 years when treated This
fact makes possible the utilization by
the farmer of woods of this kind on
the farm which would otherwise be
practically useless.
1t is practicable, Mr.. Macdonald
points out, for a farmer to set out a
small plantation of quick-growing
trees, such as the cottonwood, and in
five or six years have the start of a
permanent supply Of posts. 1t is esti-
mated that post per acre is needed
every year. A considerable saving can
be made by the farmer who grows
and treats his own posts
Two methods Of creosoting posts are
recommended by Mr.. Macdonald, one
In which one tank is used and another
which requires two tanks. In the first
method posts are put into the creosote
tank with the creosote at high tenn
perature, and are allowed to cool in
the same tank. When two tanks are
used the posts are transferred, after
their bath in the hot creosote, to the
other tank, which contains cold creo-
sote.
On medium-sized farms, where 100
or more posts are needed annually, a
satisfactory treating tank, made of
galvanized iron, about SO inches insdi-
ameter and 4S inches high, can be pur-
chased for about $40.
This tank is mounted about a foot
from the ground on a brick founda
ton, which contains firebox. Wood
is used for fuel. If the Dosts are tn he

Drain In the Barrels.

given top as well as butt treat
ment, they can be inverted in the tank.
This should be done in the case of soft
woods.
In the single tank treatment the
creosote is heated to temperature of
200 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough
creosote is put into the tank to sub
merge the lower three or three and
one-half feet of the posts. The tenn
perature is maintained at about 30
degrees for from two to six hours, de
pending upon the kind of wood being
treated. The harder the wood the
longer it should be immersed. The
fire is allowed to die down and the
posts are, left in the cold creosote for
from four to fourteen hours.
If two tanks are used the work can
be speeded up, since the cold bath is
applied in the second tank. The Gre
osote should penetrate the posts to a
depth Of from one-quarter to one inch.
Tests should be made to see that this
penetration is secured.

SPRAY POTATO LEAF HOPPER
Bordeaux Mixture Should Be Applied
Thoroughly to Under Side
of the Leaves.

You can get the potato leaf hopper
by using bordeaux mixture. The
formula employed consists of four
pounds of copper sulphate, four
pounds of unslaked lime to fifty gal
Ions of water. The spray should be
applied to the under side of the leaves
thoroughly, using at least $50 pounds
pressures This pressure gives fine
mist spray. At least three applications
are recommended and a fourth might
be given to advantage. Both sides Of
each row should be thoroughly
sprayed to make the job complete
