Roup Can Be Prevented
by Providing DRY House

Roup can be prevented by keeping
the poultry in dry, well ventilated
houses and feeding balanced rations.
Under such conditions if a case APP
pears the bird should be killed and
burned or buried deeply, says writer
in Successful Farming. Treating a
case of roup is very discouraging.
The bird with roup is suffering ex-
IRENE prostration and the discharges
from the disease have a repulsive odor.
This odor is the factor that determines
whether the hen has roup or a simple
cold.
If hen has a cold it is only few
steps to case of roup. Isolate hens
with running eyes and treat them with
one Of the coal tar disinfectants or
commercial roup remedy. Place per-
manganate of potash in the drinking
water to keep the disease from spread
ing. Color the water a deep red. Never
return a bird with a cold to the flock
until she is thoroughly cured and looks
like healthy, vigorous specimen.
We know of one case where hen
was treated for roup and then liber-
ated before a cure had resulted. In
about week, eight other hens in the
flock were sick with the disease, and
after another week of fussy unpleas-
ant doctoring, all of the sick hens had
to be killed to protect the remainder
Of the flock.
A hen which has had a severe cold
should be banded so she will rot be
included in the breeding pens tho next
year. When the disease has progressed
until it results in roup the bird is
weakened and more subject to repeti-
ton of the disease This trouble is
so serious when once started that the
owner of a good flock of poultry must
not hesitate to sacrifice the best-look-
ing hen in the flock if she contracts
the disease. 1t is necessary to protect
the balance Of the flock and prevent a
serious financial loss.

Kniffen System Favored
for Pruning of Grapes

Horticulturists at the New York ex-
pertinent station have tested out seven
methods of pruning grapes over pc
Rod of years and have published an
account Of their experiments which
will be of interest to both the profess
sional and amateur grower. The So
called single-stem or four-cane Kniffen
method is said to be the best.
According to these authorities, this
method consists in training a single
branch to serve as the trunk of the
vine with two canes developed at the
lower wire and two at the upper wire
and tied one to the right and one TO the
left of the trunk along each wire. 1t
is stated that the system may be fully
established by the end of the fourth
season and that subsequent pruning
consists in cutting away all canes but
the four mentioned above, leaving suf-
icient buds at each level to supply
fruiting canes for the following year.
The amount of fruiting wood is thus
easily limited to the capacity of the
vine by regulating the length of the
four canes.
Experiments at the station have led
to the conclusion that there is little
choice between early winter pruning
and spring pruning of grapes so far as
the effect on yield, wood growth, or
maturity of fruit is concerned It is
pointed out, however, that better Sc
Ia 1F hn In
in the spring after the severe winter
temperatures have passed than is pos
sible earlier in the season.

Marked Ability Of Idaho
Boy as a Stock Breeder

One Shorthorn COW for which the
youthful purchaser gave his personal
note three years ago so that he might
feed and care for the animal as a part
of his club work, was the means of an
Idaho club boy, Frank Hawkins, devel-
oping marked ability as stockman.
For three years he has cared for and
managed his live stock according to the
improved methods advocated by his
agricultural extension agent, adding to
his herd until he now owns eleven
head of exceptionally fine pure bred
Shorthorn cattle. His profits for the
year 1922, according to reports to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, were 81, S48.

All Hens Show Decided
Preference for Wheat

A recent test at one of the state ex-
pertinent stations provided certain
amounts of various feeds for the hens,
and what they left was carefully
weighed back in an effort to see which
foods the hens preferred naturally.
Almost all the hens showed de-
cided preference for wheat, which is
generally used as a poultry feed. Kafir
stood next in popularity, followed by
corn and cornmeal, but oats, bran and
sunflower seeds did not prove very
popular. Alfalfa leaves were also
passed by pretty generally
A similar test showed that the use
of either beef scrap or sour milk makes
the hens egg record at least twice as
good as though she we're fed no animal
feed whatever, and that sour milk Is
slightly better than beef scrap for this
purpose, in addition to being cheaper
and easier to get on most farms.

Ordinary Grain Binder
Will Handle Sow Beans

The essential thing when harvesting
soy beans for grain is to do the work
just when the pods are nearly ripe, for
even few days delay will cause many
of the dead-ripe pods to shatter. The
Iowa experiment station says that
small acreages of soy beans may be
economically handled with an ordinary
grain binder, for then the sheaves can
be shocked like other grain and left
until they are fit to hull. The beans
may be colored up some from the
rains, but they will be kept sound and
sweet and will be fit for feed or for
seed.

Why Doesn't Farmer Put
Implements Under Cover?

Ask farmer why he doesn't put
the farm implements in the shed in
stead Of leaving them just where he
unlocked. He may answer, whats
the use? The parts that will rust out
are covered with oil, and those that
aren't covered with oil last longer than
the rest of the machine anyhow"
The implement dealer knows that if
the machinery is not housed he will
CELL two machines where he should
have sold only one, and that he will
also sell more repairs.
With both the farmer and the nipple
ment dealer satisfied, why house the
farm machinery?

SunfoWer Is Excellent
Silage Feed for Cattle

The sunfower makes excellent feed
as silage, and data at present avail
able indicates that silage made from
the sunf1ower, if put up at the proper
stage of maturity, makes fairly good
substitute for corn, although its feed
ing value is not so high. 1t has been
used mostly in areas where the chinch
bug is prevalent. The crop fits well in
many rotations where corn should be
omitted On account Of chinch bug
damage.

Scheme for Getting Rid
Of Wild Onion or Garlic

Late fall blowing, followed by an ins
terrified crop the following year, will
get rid Of wild onion, or garlic. Corn
in check-rows is a good crop to plant
To get rid of the onions in pasture, If
the plants are too numerous, dig each
plant and destroy it. Sheep. eat the
tops of the onion, and grazing for a
few years often kills it out. Coal-tar
creosote oil applied to each plant at
the rate of about four thimbIefuls is
effective in killing both the plant and
the UP animated bulbs.

Training Shipper
toGrade and Pack
Much Waste and Loss of
Fruits and Vegetables
Can Be Prevented.

CP3epared by the United States Department
of AgricultureO
Waste and loss in fruits and Vege-
tables due to spoilage or breakage IN
transit have been one Of the serious
problems connected with the profitable
production and selling Of perishable
foods.
The market specialists of the bu-
reau of agricultural economics of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture have long urged growers to take
steps to prevent this unnecessary
waste, which brings them no profit and
often means a serious loss, at the same
time reducing the total supply of
traits and vegetables. Increased care
in selecting, grading, packing and
shipping their products has accom-
plished much 10 spite of the risks in
yolved in shipping perishables over
long distances, across deserts, noun
tains and plafus in all kinds OF
weather.
Tomatoes All Year.
Tomatoes are now found on the
large markets practically all the year,
coming from Mexico, Cuba, and the
Bahamas in early winter, from Florida
and south Texas next, and from east
Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee DUR
ing the spring. Ohio, Illinois and New
Jersey supply the summer trade of the
large eastern markets until local grow
ers and home gardeners can fill the
demand California ships tomatoes
from May to November. In order to
avoid high freight charges on toma-
toes which will spoil in transit, very
careful grading and packing must be
done by the shippers. Both consumer
and grower reap the benefit of this
care preceding shipment.
Losses and waste in handling poorly
graded cabbage are quite frequent.
The shippers lose by their own negli-
gence and the consumer loses because
of the lessened supply, poor quality
and higher local prices. Growers are
being Systematically urged not to ship
over-ripe, decayed and soft heads Of
cabbage.
GTd duo All TIOQUSLSs
The large associations of potato
growers have succeeded in grading
their products under brand names
which protect the customer against
diversified, hollow and defective tubers.
Boxed apples from the Northwest
leave that region splendidly graded, all
though at times they suffer unavoid-
ably in transit to eastern markets.
California growers are making vigor-
Gus efforts to put only standardized
catalogues, citrus fruits and other
products on the market, to avoid ship
ping either green or overripe melons
and to enforce such rigid grading,
packing and shipping rules that only
those orange grapefruits and lemons
which will surely withstand travel and
changes in climate, are now being
shipped.
The list might be indefinitely con-
tinued. Every effort is being made by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture to influence growers to grade
their products and pack them properly
for shipment, enabling the house
keeper, who is the final purchaser of
CALIFORNIA; cantaloupes, Florida's TO-
matoes, or Oregon's apples, to obtain
her moneys worth when she deals
with the retail storekeeper.

Energetic Fowls Found
to Be Best Egg LAYERS

1.-THE fowl that lays during the Win
ter is the one that lays best during the
summer months, says Annabelle
Campbell, poultry specialist in the Of
fee of extension work with women,
Minnesota university. "The fowl that
lays best under adverse conditions is
the one that also, after a short rest,
produces during the winter, rests for
a short time and then comes into lay
ing in the spring and continues lay
ing during the summer months until
fall. The best fowls in the flock are
those that require the least amount of
rest

Dispose of All Fowls
Weak and Lacking Vigor

Gull all hens that are sick, weak,
inactive, lacking in vigor, poor eaters,
with shrunken, hayd, dull or whitish-
colored comb small spread or distance
between rear end of keel and pelvic
bones; full, firm, or hard abdomen;
and those that have molted or begun
to mott in August or September. In
breeds having yellow legs and skin
the discarded hens should also show
yellow or medium-yellow legs and yel
low beaks and vents.

Proper Care of Poultry
Is Apparent in Autumn

Now is a tine when the good care
of poultry shows up. The focks which
have been underfed through the sum-
mer are not ready for winter laying.
The pullets which have had balanced
ration have developed plenty of vigor.
The poultry keeper who has neglected
his flock cannot hope to make up for
lost time. The best of rations will
help to improve the poorly-fed flock,
but they will never equal the birds
that have made a rapid normal growth
from the start.

Successful Planting of
Raspberry Bush in Fall

AS rule, spring planting is best
for raspberries, but If the fall should
be favored with enough rainfall so
that the young plants could get good
start, fall planting win be successful,
and you will gain a season by planting
early this fall, because there will be
some fruit, while with spring planting,
you could not hope to gather fruit next
wear, as you might with fall planting.

Exhaust Of Automobile
Is Sure Death to Lice

Most every farmer has a car of some
kind; and most every farmer has
chickens, and therefore is troubled
with vermin in the chicken house at
some time. Well, here is the connec-

Just attach a rubber hose to the ex-
haust pipe of your motor and put the
other end in the chicken house-with
the chickens all out, of course Close
the house as tightly as you can, let the
motor run about ten minutes, and
bingo! Bags, lice, mites and other
vermin sre gone. 1t is the cheapest
lice killer known.

Production Of Turkeys
Decreasing Every Year

The production of turkeys seems to
decrease yearly. Perhaps this Is due
to the increase in the production of
capons. Certain it is that capons are
much easier to raise, and there are
many people who will tell you that
they like capon meat better than that
of the turkey. Little has ever been
done in the way of raising turkeys in
confinement. When it has been tried
the results have been discouraging.
Capons. on the other hand, can b.
raised successfully in this manner

I Should Be Cut Promptly

Sunflowers for silage should be put
in when the seeds reach the hard
dough stage When grown on wet
land so the pith is sappy and full Of
water, they may be cut and wilted in
the field before putting into the silo.
When grown on very dry ground, they
should be put into the silo as prompt
Iy as possible and enough water eadd-

You voiced a fearful protest,
And plead with might and main
But freedom was not granted,
All your pleading was in vain.
The gang soon left your doorstep,
And just across the way
You heard their hearty laughter,
As they Joined In happy play.
So You endured these tOrtures,
Like all true martyrs do,
The whole world seemed determined
To make n slave of you.
Oh Gee! but you felt awful,
And the sunshine passed away
As you abused that wood pile.
That had spoiled your happy day.
