Coal Oil Used to Cure
Grub in Head of Sheen

Even with care some sheep will
manifest grub in the head which are
the larvae of the sheep lot. The symp-
tom is a discharge Of heavy, thick mu-
Gus which sometimes seals quite across
the nostrils. The sheep are continu-
ally snorting to rid themselves of the
grub which is in the sleeps nasal
passages or up In the sinuses which
are inside of the head just above each
Of the eyes. To treat, lay the sheep
on their back, feet up, and pour about
a teaspoonful Of coal oil into each
nostril, hold few minutes ana the
cure is completed since the grubs are
killed and the sheep will snort them
out. Don't let the sheep hold up it's
head. but just lift the nose about an
inch from the ground. Just enough so
the coal oil will run down and drain
into each sinus.

Three Great Objects of
Cultivation Discussed

In urging the proper tilling Of the
soil, the New York State College Of
Agriculture points out that cultivation
has three main objects: Killing weeds,
loosening the soil and saving moisture |;
further, this is said to be probably the
order Of their Importance.
Weeds must be kept down and the
earlier they are disturbed after germi-
nation the easier they are killed. The
critical time is the period between
planting and the time when the crop
Is large enough to cultivate without
covering the plants.
For corn and potatoes, the tillage
with the harrow or weeder is likely to
be the making OF the crop SO far as
cultivation Is concerned. The start the
crop gets on the weeds is likely to be
maintained, especially in the rows.
Assuming good fitting Of the soil
and reasonably good filth. two inches
is the maximum depth of cultivation
desirable. Greater depth is likely to
stimulate weeds by bringing up more
seeds.

Insects and Diseases
Controlled by Spraying

Spraying Is the most effective way
Of controlling insects and ftAgus dis
eases attacking fruits. In order
that spraying may be done intelli-
gently and 81 'sfactorily. the orchard
list should have a practical knowledge
of the insects and diseases which af-
feet his crop.
Fruit insects may be divided into
two classes: Sucking insects and
chewing insects.
The sucking insects, such as San
Jose scale and aphids Commonly
known as plant lice). extract their
food from the sap of plants. These
are combated by contact sprays
which must strike the insects them
selves. Lime sulphur, liquid or dry, oil
emulsion, and miscible oils are used
against scale insects; nicotine sui
plate, commercial tobacco prepara-
ton, and Oil emulsions are used against
aphids.
The chewing insects. such as the
codling moth. plum curculio, and
cankerworm, actually eat the fruit or
foliage. These are destroyed by
poisoning their food. Lead arsenate
is the standard material used against
chewing insects.

Horticultural Notes

Keep the sprayer going according
to schedule.
No sweet cherry pollinated with it's
own pollen will set any fruit.
Where the first and second sprays
could not be properly applied or If
the curculio is still present. use ar

Nothing is a greater convenience to
the home than good walks. They save
untold drudgery for the housekeeper.
The root systems of low-headed
trees become more firmly established
in the soil. and thus offer greater
resistance to the wind than the high,
headed trees.
For making sprays use only the best
grade of rock or quicklime. Where
this cannot be obtained use hydrated

Nicotine Dust Is Used
in Killing Plant Lice

Nicotine dust Is the substance rec
commended by the college of agricul-
ture at New Brunswick for controlling
the aphids which are SO abundant on
vegetable crops throughout New Jer-
sey this year.
To prove the effectiveness Of this
substance in killing the pest demon
stration was conducted June on the
farm of William Hookstra. Beverly, N.
J. Dust containing 8 per cent nico-
tine was applied with power buster.
The next day an examination showed
that the killing was nearly 100 per
cent.
The dust is easily applied, and as
this and other trials have shown, it is
thorough in its work. Application
should be made after the dew is off
and when the sun is shining brightly.
Since the aphids are usually concealed
beneath the leaves, considerable force
should be used in applying the dust.
A one horse two-row buster that will
go through spaces six inches wide be-
tween the rows has just been placed
on the market. This is particularly
adapted to applying nicotine dust.
Growers Of peas, beans, early celery,
cabbage, spinach, lettuce tomatoes.
eggplant, and peppers must use in
creased vigilance and care If they are
to free themselves from the ravages
Of the aphis pest this year.

The propagation of plants by the
use Of cuttings Is one of the oldest
methods known, and until recently II
was considered necessary for the best
results that the roofing work should
be carried on in well-equipped
greenhouse, using steam coils to sup
ply bottom heat. The lack Of such
equipment, however, and the expense
OF providing it, have been serious OBJ
jections to any widespread nse of
yegetative propagation except with
plants easily rooted out of doors. This
has been overcome to a considerable
extent by the development by the
United States Department Of Agricul
ture of propagating frame which
uses sunlight as source of bottom
heat. 1t has been found to give excel
lent results with the plants expert
mented with, including most of the
standard citrus root stocks as well as
the newer hybrids.
The method and the experimental
results are described in Department
Circular $40. "The Solar Propagating
Frame for Roofing Citrus and Other
Subtropical Plants" just issued. The
construction Of the frame is simple
and the method is economical and
offers considerable promise for other
groups of plants, especially Of sub
tropical character. The use of the
solar roofing frame is obviously best
adapted TO the warmer portions of the
country having relatively large
amount of sunshine.

GIVE ORCHARD CARE
TO OBTAIN PROFITS

\ A farm orchard to be worth while
must be properly managed and cared
for.
IAN orchard which is started and
then left to take care Of itself will
never become a source Of pride or of
much good fruit" says ]. G. Moore.
horticultural department Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin III d new orchard
bulletin.
Choose the orchard site carefully. A
tract with soil adapted to wide
range Of fruits, slightly elevated and
located near the house Is preferable"
he urges.
Hardness Is the first consideration
In selecting varieties. A farm or
chardist may experiment with new
and untried varieties, but the greater
part Of the planting should be OF
standard varieties adapted to the par
ticular section. Good care of the trees
before planting. careful planting, and
proper pruning after planting are alb
solutely necessary If satisfactory re-
suits are to be secured.
1.-The system Of soil management
should be adapted to the character Of
the site. On lands level enough to cul-
tivate, the tillage-cover crop system is
probably best. Cropping with. culti-
waited crops Is permissible In young
orchard If care is exercised not to in.
jure the plants either temporarily or
permanently. Never use young or
chard as a pasture. The average farm
orchard which has been bearing for
some time needs fertilizer. Manure or
commercial fertilizers which. supply
nitrogen are usually most beneficial.
Best results In fertilization can only
be attained when the orchardist makes
a careful study Of the performance OF
his trees. Lack OF fruitfulness may re-
suit either from too much or too little
twig and branch growth"
"Neglect of pruning means trouble
later on" says Moore. Pruning
should start as soon as the tree is
planted and should be done annually
during the life of the tree. Alternate
neglect and spasmodic pruning results
in poorly formed and less productive
tree.
spraying Is necessary to the pro-
duction of good fruit and healthy trees.
It is a preventive. not remedial. Only
effective spraying is worth while. 1t
is effective only when the proper ma
terials are thoroughly applied at the
proper time. Have a spraying program
and follow 1t persistently unless you
are sure that you can improve upon 1t.
If your orchard is too, small to war
rant the purchase Of power sprayer
consider the advisability of organizing
spray ring among your neighbors
who are similarly situated. Orchard
pest control in small orchards will be
more. efficient and less expensive in
spray ring than when done by the
individual orchardist."

Machines Waste
Valuable Grain
Loss of Time and Money
Prevented by Good
Care of Thresher.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
If man In New York were to buy
q ticket for San Francisco and then
walk to Chicago before boarding the
train you would think him foolish in
deed Yet, is not the farmer who
plows his fields and sows his grain,
cares for it through the long summer
and carefully harvests the crops, only,
upon threshing the bundles Of loaded
grain, to blow large part of 1t over
into the straw pile, liable to the same
accusation? Inefficient operation of
threshing machines is responsible for
a great many bushels of wasted grain,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Time and Grain Lost.
Any standard threshing machine
will do It's work with very little waste
Of grain or loss Of time, If kept in
good condition, adjusted properly for
the particular job on which 1t is en-
gagged, furnished with the proper
amount Of power applied correctly
and watched intelligently while In OPP
Grafton. Nevertheless, 1t is true that
great amount of time is lost and a
large amount of grain wasted unneces-
sarily In threshing.
AL! thresher manufacturers have
endeavored to make their machines
as efficient as possible and the con
strnction such that they will give a
minimum Of trouble. However, there
are so many parts to a threshing ma
chine, and 1t must work under such a
wide range of conditions, that numer-
GUS adjustments must be left for the
operator to make In the field, and
careful attention is required for ITS
successful operation.
If machine fails to separate all Of
the grain from the straw 1t is usually
due to one or more Of the following
causes: ~ The machine is not being
run at Its proper speed, (2) the cylin-
der fails to thresh all Of the kernels
out Of the heads, (S) the separating
mechanism Is not level, or (4) the
blast is not adjusted properly.
Crop Owner Interested.
Naturally the thresherman Is not so
vitality concerned In getting every
bushel Of grain from the straw as Is
the crop owner, because 1t only means
two or three cents to him for each
bushel saved, whereas to the crop
owner 1t means the price of the en-
tire bushel, matter of 30 or go cents,
or more, depending upon the kind of
grain being threshed and the price of
1t on the market. The crop owner,
therefore, should be versed in the OPP
Grafton Of the machine and at least
know whether the separator man has
his machine adjusted for the most eff
ficient results possible.
Farmers Bulletin 991, issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, has been written for the infor-
nation of farmers who have grain
threshing to do, and discusses the
various points to watch in the efficient
operation of the threshing machine. A
copy may be secured. as long as the
supply lasts, by writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture,

An Important Convention.
The convention was declared by
leading stockmen of the Southwest
TO be one of the most important in
the history of the Cattle Raisers' As
