Flowing Up Barn Lots Is
Beneficial to Animals

Hog raisers may accomplish two de-
slrable results by plowlng up the barn
lots at least once a year. In the first
place. hogs need good succulent pas
ture as much Of the time as possible,
and in the second place, they need pro-
lection hgainst internal parasites. such
as round worms. the eggs OF which re-

the lots helps to get rid OF the pests
and the crop Of forage mikes It a

In addition to providing cheap M~oteln
feed. pasture crops aid as laxative
and require the hogs to take a certain
amount OF exercise which Is necessary
to breeding animals and growing pigs

Cultivate Acquaintance
With Trees in Woodlot

Cultivate an acquaintance with your
trees In nearly every planting Of any
age there is need FOR some thinning.
Exercise your hest judgment as to the
most desirable trees to be left perma-
nently, space them as uniformly as
possible and remove the superfiuous
trees. Most towns have a large num-
Der Of trees thai should be removed in
order that the remaining ones may be
developed symmetrically true 20 the
hest type Of their species. Remember
that Isolated trees must protect them
selves and the branches must shade
the trunk. Sun scald is nearly always
followed by an attack Of borers and
many trees are lost by improper prun-
ing. An attempt TO grow trees with
too small trunks Is likely TO be fatal
to many Of them.
The woodlot should be carefully I'm
spected. leaving the trees that prom
Ise 20 be OF the most value In coming
years.

How generally this diversified farm

cream, as was the Ncase three years
ago, there was shipped out Of the
county during the year ending May /,

mated that the amount OF poultry

Dat Smut Caused
by Minute Plant
Enters Developing Kernels
and Turns Them Into
Powdery Masses.

Dat smut is caused by a very mi
mute plant which lives parasitically
within the tissues Of the oat plant.
II gains entrance In the Seeding
stage. about the time the plant is
emerging from the soil. When once
inside 1t grows upward through the
tissues OF the stem. giving little or
no external evidence of It's presence
until the heads are produced. At this
time 1t enters the developing kernels
and destroys them by forming black
powdery masses in their places.
Important Parasite.
The black powdery substance Is
found to be made OF millions Of small,
spherical, dark bodies called spores.
Spores represent the reproductive
phase Of the parasite and are Inn
portant In that they are the means by
which the smut is spread They are OF
very light weight and easily carried
by air currents for long distances.

Under favorable conditions the spores

BY the time the plants arrive at ma

of the smut fungus is completed but
