Yellowstone Park To
Distribute 100 Buffalo

Following the policy inaugurated
last year, the department of the in
terror is again offering to distribute
surplus buffalo bulls from the great
herd in the Yellowstone national
park. The herd, developed from
small nucleus placed in the Yel-
lowstone several years ago, has in
creased so rapidly that congress
granted the department permission
to dispose of the surplus. This
year about 100 bulls can be spared.
Any person desiring a buffalo
bull must pay the cost of catching
and transporting it from the point
of capture to it's new home. The
cost of capturing, Grating and
transporting a buffalo from the
buffalo farm to Gardiner, Mont,
the shipping point, is approximate
ly $50 or $85. To this must be
added the express charge. A buff
falo will weigh from 1900 to 2500
pounds Grated, but in considering
express rates from Gardiner to the
point of destination 1000 pounds
can be considered as average
weight. Based on these data ap-
proximate rates of shipment can
be obtained from the local express
company. Shipments of buffalo
will be made in late September,
October and early November.
Applicants for buffalo should
state for what purpose the bison
are desired and what facilities are
available for their care. The age
of animal desired should also be
stated.
Last fall Sc buffalo were distri-
buted in this manner.

Chinese Religion

Chinese religion, like Chinese art
and literature, is quite indigenous,
a natural expression of the Chi
nese philosophy of life. Indeed, the
Chinese notion of religion is very
slight. The thought of the entire
population is permeated by a def
mite ethical code, but it is not fierce
or persecutory. Religions are many,
but reason is one" Chinese re-
ligion is more tolerant, more reason
able and less dogmatic than the re-
ligions of any other people. 1t is
hardly more than an ethical code.
In China there have never been re-
ligious wars.-Chi-Fung Liu, In
Scribner's.

Ancient Golf Club

The Royal. Blackheath Golf club
of London is said to be the oldest.
Records date back to 1887, and tra-
dition carries the club back to the
reign of James I, 1603-1625. The
old Royal Blackheath course has
been closed since it was no longer
possible to keep it in playable con-
dition. 1t was crossed and re-
crossed by roads and railways and
surrounded by buildings. The course
consisted Of seven holes, match
consisting of three rounds of 81
holes.

UNITED STATES A
FOOLS PARADISE
STATESPREACHER

"In a sense, the United States
has all the marks of fools para
disc, in which the inmates flock to
the movies for their morals, to
evangelists for their science and
to patent medicines for their ills, y
said Rt. Rev. Irving P. Johnson,
Protestant Episcopal bishop of
Colorado in an address at Colorado
Springs.
"One wonders how films pro-
duced, even when censored by
such an astute politician as Will
Hays, can turn Fatty Arbuckle,
Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie
Chaplin into great moral leaders
Mr.. Volstead and John Galen
Locke into spiritual uplifters; Mr..
Bryan and Mrs. Eddy into ex-
Founders of scientific truths, and
the local ministerial association
into lawmakers and moral scaven-
gers" Bishop Johnson said.
''I maintain that these are all
honorable folk, but that the peo-
pie have mistaken their calling.
So long as we continue to select
our governors, legislators and
judges because they have the same
preiudices as ourselves, hell is just
around the corner. So long as we
secularize our ministers and turn
them from the difficult task OF
making individuals righteous into
the easy job of telling us how the
government should be run, we will
be placing the sacred profession
on a par with the corner grocery.
So long as half-baked philoso-
piers in educational institutions,
whose morals are often as hazy as
their theories, are going to pose
as leaders for our youth-and so
long as lawyers are going to for
sake the profession of John Mar
shall, use their talents merely to
aid and abet our great corpora
tions in the production of indivi-
duals-just so long society will
mill like sheep.
What we need is leadership that
will work hard enough in some
particular line to qualify as eX-
perts and not to use the reputation
thus built up to claim Omn1sc1ence
in other lines and not attempt to
invade the province of those train
ed to develop other lines. Then we
will have order in the present
chaos.
1.-THE great mistake of modern
ism is the assumption that it is a
success; whereas it has turned our
legislative halls into low comedy,
our homes into high tragedies and
our religion into a fair basis for
comic opera.
1--WE have been stamped for a
generation by reformers who are
not experts; by men with vision
and a challenge who need to take
lessons in Christian charity and by
political and religious bunco steer
ers who are prejudiced and acquire
distinction and the people are un-
able to distinguish between lime
light and Illuminating plants.
$50 long as the American people
get their spiritual inspiration from
Hollywood; their theology from
the Rockefeller Foundation, and
their legislation from pan-Protest-
ant ministers, we shall continue to
grope for light and walk in the
darkness"

Sprouting Oats in Bags
Is Most Practical Plan

This time of year when green food
Is dry and fibrous, sprouted oats is
almost a necessity for laying stock.
Two quarts Of dry seed oats is suf-
ficient for 100 hens. Place this in a
thin muslin bag, made FELLOWSHIP fash
ion and soak all night in pail of wa
ter, tepid preferred. In the morning
hang up behind kitchen range with
drip pan below.
Each evening for five days, place a
bag Of the required amount of oats
soaking; once daily dip in tepid water,
shake and stir thoroughly to prevent
heating. On the fifth day the first bag
is ready to feed.
One good-sized pinch per hen is
plenty. Sprouted or terminated oats
should be fed in troughs or on clean
boards as they are damp and collect
dirt if fed in litter. Wash the bags in
hot soapsuds and use over and over.
Sprouted oats is one of the finest of
green feeds if fed sweet and clean.
Never feed if moldy, sour or smutty,
Do not overfeed; feed regularly each
day. They help keep the birds in good
condition and make Matching eggs
more fertile and hatchable Com
mence feeding to chicks when they
are one month old, feeding tiny bit
at first and increasing each day.

Applying Fertilizer to
Increase Orchard Yield

Farmers and orchardists in the
United States are beginning to realize
the necessity of restoring plant foods
to the soil by applying concentrated
fertilizers. Nitrogen is one of the
foods that every plant needs and one
that is soon exhausted from the soil,
necessitating fertilizers, such as am
monium sulphate, sodium nitrate and
Chile saltpeter. Sodium nitrate is in
such form that it can readily be as
simulated by the tree roots, while am
monium shlphate is slightly less solu-
BILE. When using these fertilizers in
orchards the best results will be OBJ
tanned If they are applied to the soil
in the spring. just when the seasons
growth begins. The amount of fer
tilizer applied to the soil under each
tree varies, of course, with the condi-
ton of the soil, and with the kind,
age and size Of the trees. In recent
experiments with apple trees on poor
soil it was found necessary to apply
one-quarter pound of fertilizer for
each newly planted tree, and about fif-
teen pounds for each mature tree that
had been unproductive.

Winning Pig Litter Was
Given Run of Pasture

The lucky farmer in the ton-litter
contest of Indiana was w. f. Parks.
His ten pure-bred Poland-China pigs
tipped the scales at 2.774 pounds.
Here is how he fed the sow and
pigs. The mother got corn, some
tankage and little skim milk. and
the run Of mixed clover and timothy
pasture, while she carried her litter.
After narrowing, a thin slop of
bran and shorts was fed for three
or four days. CRrn was added on the
fifth day and tankage when the pigs
were week old. Feed was gradually
Increased until the sows were getting
a liberal feed by the time the pigs
were two weeks old.
Pigs were started to eating on a
slop of shorts and skim milk. and were
fed by hand in creep" Corn was
added a couple Of weeks before wean-
ing. After weaving the pigs were fed
corn, shorts and skim milk and had
the run of clover pasture.
1.-THE pigs did exceptionally well
from the start" said Mr.. Parks. "One
big reason was because / kept the
sows and their filters out Of the old
hog lots. The pigs were always
thrifty and healthy; none Of them
were runted. 1t pays to keep young
pigs where there is no danger of them
becoming infected with parasites and
disease"

Using Lime-Sulphur for
DELAYED Dormant Spray

The 1925 campaign against fruit
pests and diseases will open within the
next few weeks with the application
Of the so-called delayed dormant spray
made just as the buds begin to swell
and show green at the tips. With the
uncertainty as to when injurious in
sects will appear in sufficient numbers
to work havoc with the fruit crop, the
adoption of routine spray schedule
which will insure protection against the
most important pests found in orchards
is urged by entomologists.
In nearly all cases the spray sched-
ules recommended by specialists are
planned to strike at more than one
pest, thus effecting a saving in time
and spray materials. The delayed
dormant spray is the first application
recommended in the schedule and is
aimed against such pests as scale,
blister-mite aphids, early caterpillars,
ETC.. which may be present at that time
In various stages Of development.
The spray solution recommended is
made up of lime-sulphur composed Of
one part of concentrated lime-sulphur
to eight parts of water, to 100 gal
Ions to which is added from two to
three pounds of powdered lead arsen-
ate, or four to six pounds of lead ar
senate paste, and three-fourths pint Of
nicotine sulphate. A thorough appli-
cation of this spray with high-pow-
cred spray outfit just as the buds be-
gin to swell will aid materially in hold
ing the pests in check later in the
season. say the station workers.

Rust on Cereals
Cause Of Damage
Two Varieties Found on
Wheat Caused by Fun
gus Organisms.

There are several kinds Of rust on
cereals. Two Of these rusts are most
commonly found on wheat; namely,
orange leaf rust and black stem rust
Both are caused by fungus organisms
and the seeds" by which they spread
are called spores. These spores ger
inmate, forming a germ tube which
enters the living host plant and pro-
duces a spot which later breaks
through the epidermis. This is called
pustule.
Leaf rust has q widespread occur
renee. Its pustules otter are found on
the leaves of wheat when the plants
are young. They are Of an orange yell
low color, hence the name "orange leaf
rust" The round spores can be rec
ognized by means of a microscope.
Though this rust causes some damage,
It does not cause serious losses.
Rust on Stems and Leaves.
Stem rust lis common. on both stems
and leaves. Its pustules can be told
from those of the leaf rust by their
reddish color and the torn paper-like
edges Of the pustules. The red spores
Of the summer stage are oval in shape.
The red or summer stage develops
rapidly under favorable conditions,
spreading the rust from field to field.
The spores are SO light that they may
be carried long distances by the wind.
Moisture does not cause rust but fur
nishes favorable conditions for the
spores to terminate and multiply.
The common barberry. (Berberis
vulgaris), is an important factor in
the spread Of stem rust. There are
few other species Of barberry which
may take stem rust and spread 1t to
grains and grasses.
Burberry Starts Spread.
An infected common barberry will
start an early spread of stem rust.
Several cases have been observed
where local epidemics have started
from such sources.
The Japanese barberry is harmless
and should be destroyed.
Look out for early appearances Of
both leaf and stem rusts on grains
and wild grasses. Send specimens
and record Of location of early stem
rust on grain or wild grasses to the
botany department Of the State Ag-
ricultural college.-E. A. Lungren,

EvERBEARING BERRY
THAT is PROMISING

Strawberry growers and strawberry
fanciers have watched the develop
ment of the so-called everbearing va
rieties with much interest. In the
first place 1t was a novelty, unique
thing to secure a race of strawberries
that would ripen out Of season. Much
has been said and written regarding
the merits of these varieties but up
to the present they can scarcely be
said to be Of much Importance COM
mercially.
This line of late-bearing strawber-
ries was not arrived at suddenly as
plant breeders had been attempting to
secure such varieties for couple of
hundred years and the European Al
pine berry was much used and often
introduced with great claims. But
the first one to make an impression in
the country was the Pan-American,
introduced by Samuel Cooper of New
York. Following this one came the
Autumn, then Productive and Superb.
Later the Rockhill seedlings from
AOWd SdAlC " AOtASC dilu tAASh thC -
ter strain from California.
The latest disappointment is the
Rockhill, which was introduced a
couple of years ago and which gave
great promise. For some reason,
which does not seem clear at present,
this variety reverted to the spring
bearing habit and the fruit was in
ferior. The originator and introducer
both seemed justified in making rather
big claims, for its poor performance
makes another page in the history of
this type.
Most of these varieties have been
poor plant makers, often producing
small berries, and often not very pro-
ductive. We still would raise the
question as to their real worth, except
in very few localities. The writer
has been watching new sort for a
couple Of years that looks very prom
Using and in the skillful hands of its
possessor it is making plants freely.
If it is introduced to the trade and
holds its present behavior it would
seem to be very satisfactory for a
berry Of this sort. II. Gourley, in

Transplant Evergreens

Evergreen plants are moved at such
times as root growth is most likely to
take place rapidly. They must be
moved with ball" of earth about the
roots. The time for transplanting be
gins just as deciduous plants are com
ing into leaf, continuing for month,
or until growth of the evergreen is
well started, and again in late summer
or fall after fall rains begin until
about a month before it is cold enough
to freeze the surface of the ground at
night.

Thinning Sweet Corn

Three stalks to the hill is a good av-
erage number of stalks when growing
sweet corn. Some varieties will grow
from three or four grains as many as
dozen stalks. The weaker ones
should be pulled cut. Otherwise the
yield will be reduced to small ears, or
none at all. Three healthy stalks to
the hill should average two to three
ears to the stalk.

Sod in Orchards

Where the orchard has been in sod
for several years the blowing should
be shallow, so as not to tear up the
small feeding roots which always
come to the surface in sod orchards.
Two years Of clean cultivation will

will be no danger of disturbing them.
Afterwards the orchard should be
kept in some kind of cover crop and
