Anthracnose Is Serious
Ailment of Raspberry

Anthracnose, the most serious dis
ease of the black raspberry, may be
controlled in two ways: CD by the
selection of a partially resistant va
riety, such as Quillen, and (2) by two
seasonal applications Of lime-sulphur-
a delayed dormant and pre-bloom
spray.
The delayed dormant spray may be
applied in the spring after the begin
ming Of the growth, but not after the
leaflets have reached three-eighths of
an inch in length. Lime-sulphur di-
luted at the rate of five and a half
gallons Of the commercial material il
so gallons of spray, or homemade lime
sulphur of equivalent strength, should
be used. The pre-blOom spray may be
put on a week before the bloom, but if
unreasonable weather develops at this
time it is safer to omit it, because of
possible injury. Unless the plantation
is severely infected, fairly satisfactory
control can be secured from the dor
mant application alone. Commercial
liquid lime-sulphur at the rate of one
gallon in so gallons Of spray or
homemade lime sulphur of equivalent
strength, should be used.

TUBERCULAR HERD
SERIOUS MENACE

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Showing that milk production in
herd began to decline almost simulta-
neously with the development of tuber-
culosis among the cows, a report re-
cefved by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture discusses a topic
Of unusual interest in practical dairy
ing The insidious nature of tuber-
culosis makes the time of first infec-
tiOn difficult to establish and other
variable factors make the study Of
this question very complex. But in the
case reported the evidence indicates
that in two years the spread of bo-
vine tuberculosis caused a reduction
in the milk of the herd, which aver
aged about 10 cows, from an annual
production of 111,179 pounds to 49,,
173 pounds. The decrease in income
from the sale of milk amounted to ap-
prOXimately $50.
Officials of the bureau of animal in
dustry, United States Department Of
Agriculture, point out that the indem-
nifty paid for tuberculous cattle de-
tected by official testing is we'll known
to be means of fastening tuberculo-
sis eradication. However, in the light
of the foregoing figures the reduced
income from a tuberculosis herd may
equal or even exceed the mount of in
demnity ordinarily paid. This loss, the
officials conclude, should be as great
an inducement as the expected indem-
nifty for having the test applied
promptly so as to check the ravages
Of the disease, economic losses, and
danger to mankind.

Bacteria Chief Factor
in CHANGING Milk OdOr

The chief factor in changing the
taste and odor of milk is the bacteria
which are introduced from many
sources and which grow the more rap
idly as the temperature at which the
milk is handled rises. In order to limit
the change in the milk to the mini
mum, it is necessary to limit both the
number Of bacteria introduced and
the growth thereof. In seeking to ac
cOmplish the former, the milk produc-
er is faced with the question as to the
relative Importance of the various
sources of bacteria, for upon the an
swer to this will depend the place
where Improvement should begin. I'm
portance is measured not only by the
number of bacteria particular
source may supply but by the kinds as
we'll. Some kinds grow we'll In milk
as usually handled, others very slowly
or not at all. Since bacteria produce
results only as they grow, it is evident
that the latter will be far less i'm
pOrtant in their effects, although as far
as original numbers introduced, one
might be led to regard them as more
important.

FEEDERS SIDE OF
BABY BEEF PLAN

Cattle feeders are becoming more
interested in the feeding of baby
beeves with each successive season.
The advantages of baby beef feeding
have often been published, in which
the changes in the demands of the
consuming public have been empha-
sized. The cattle feeder may wonder
if the feeding of baby beeves can be
justified by greater economy and in
creased profits in his own feed yards.
Experimental data proves that the
production of choice, handy-weight an
imals of the baby beef variety has sew
eral economic advantages. The feed
ing of white-face Colorado calves was
compared with the feeding of yearlings
and two-year-olds of the same type
and quality, at the Ohio agricultural
experiment station. 1t was shown that
it takes a little longer to finish the
calves, as their average daily gain per
pared with 2.32 pounds for the year
lings and 265 pounds for the two-year-
old steers. Rapidity of gains is an
important item, but it is the economy
Of gains which has a greater influence
upon the purse or check book. The
calves put on 100 pounds of gain at
a cost Of $1O.10, while it cost $1O.6S
for the same amount of gain on the
yearlings and $1213 for the two-year
olds. Calves are efficient converters
of feeds into meat and into dollars
When the returns over feed costs were
computed for these three classes of
cattle, the calves led by wide mar
gin. The calves returned $13.42 per
head over feed costs, the yearlings
$8.76, and the two-year-olds only $7.63.

CONTROL OF APHIS
ON APPLE TREES

The control of rosy, green, and oat
application of a concentrated lime
sulphur and nicotine-sulphate spray
just as the buds begin to swell and
assume a silvery gray color, advises
the New Jersey Agricultural college
and experiment station. The spray
should be completed before the green
tips stick out of the buds like tiny
squirrel ears.
Thousands of dollars worth of dam
age is done annually to the apple crop
which suck the juices out of the fruit
and foliage, particularly during the
late spring and early summer caus-
ing the apples to become deformed
and knOtty and the leaves to become
curled and shrunken.
The college further cautions the
apple growers against relying upon
the oil sprays, so widely used in con-
trolling the European red mite, to
kill aphis eggs. Exhaustive tests with
q AAA sc vail ACIJ VI vi nave LII
dicated that only partial control can
be secured by their use, and that COM
mercial concentrated lime-sulphur, di-
luted one part to nine parts of water,
and 40 per cent nicotine sulphate, di-
luted at the rate of 1@ pints to 100
gallons of water, are the only mate
rials upon which the growers may
safely rely to control these deStruc-
tive insects. Even though only few
aphis are left unhurt by the oil sprays,
they reproduce so rapidly that they
soon spread over the tree, sometimes
doing great damage.
Thorough spraying is essential. The
tree should be completely covered in
one operation to get the best results.
Spraying with the wind is not effec-
tive, because the aphis seek the lee
side of the buds out of the way of the
wind and change their positions as the
wind shifts. Growers have commonly
noticed that most damage occurs on
the inner and less accessible portions
Of the trees.
San Jose scale may be controlled
with this spray material, which in
some seasons and localities is also
partially effective against early infec-
tions of apple scab.

Farmer Who Balances His
Poultry Ration Gets Most

Laying hens need a balanced ration.
This fact is demonstrated by an ex-
pertinent completed recently by the
South Dakota State college poultry
department, in which two pens Of %
hens each were fed under the same
conditions but with different rations.
In one case the hens were given all
the corn, oats, wheat and barley they
would eat The hens in the other pen
received these same grains but in adj
dition were given a 20 per cent meat
mash in order to make the ration bal
anced.
A summary of the results of this
experiment indicates that the hens on
corn, oats, wheat and barley averaged
27.64 eggs per bird for the two-months
period. The hens that received the
meat mash in their ration averaged
1886 eggs per hen. The cost of the
feed was practically the same in both
cases because the first pen ate enough
more grain to balance the cost of the
meat mash, thus proving that the
farmer who will balance his poultry
ration will receive a greater profit.

Free Martins Generally
Supposed to Be Sterile

While twin calves of the same sex,
as rule, present nothing abnormal
in regard to their future fecundity
the case is otherwise when the twin
calves are of different sex. The bull
calves Of such births become normal
breeders, but the heifer calves COM
monty turn out to be sterile. Such
animals often are referred to as free
martins" In one instance in which
the future breeding capacity Of 113
heifer calves was studied, only six
were found to be fertile and in an
other observation only four of II such
calves bred normally. The rest were
nonbreeders.
The phenomenon appears to depend
on connection between the blood ves-
sells of the fetal membranes which are
commonly grown together. This en-
ables an exchange of certain sub
stances which play part in the repro
duction function, the substances of the
male being predominant over those of
the female, and this predominance in
hibits the fill development Of the re-
production organs of the latter.

[ 70(D[].l|BY
COCCIDIOSIS is
FATAL AILMENT

One of the most serious maladies
which pOultry-farm owners have to
combat is cOccidiOsiS, a destructive
disease, especially prevalent on poul-
try farms where a large number of
birds are raised on a limited area.
Chickens between the ages of four
and fourteen weeks are the most like
ly to contract the infection, and suffer
the greatest mortality, according to
B. A. Beach Of the veterinary science
department at the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture, in a recent circular
published by the college, He says
that although adult birds often con-
tract the disease, they seldom die di-
rectly from it,
The disease is the result of infec-
tiOn by small parasite, known as the
coccidium, which is spread in the
droppings of infected birds. Beach, in
outlining the symptoms of the trouble,
says that the first to be noticed is the
appearance of blood in the droppings;
following this, the chick usually be-
comes listless; it's feathers become
EUIlOu, anu 1IS wings uTOOp. OOuldlH-
mated soil and water are the chief
carriers of infection, as are certain
adult birds, which are infected, though
showing no outward signs Of the dis
ease. Such hens are a continuous
source of infection and a menace to all
chicks that are permitted to run with
them.
"No medicinal treatment has yet
been found of sufficient value to war
rant it's use," Beach declares. "Sani-
tation is both the preventive and the
cure," he says.
AS soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed,
Beach says the steps to be taken are
to remove all Of the apparently
healthy chicks to clean Quarters-feed
the chicks inside brooder houses-re
move all litter from the brooder house
twice weekly-withhold all mash, and
feed light on scratch feed, and keep
sour milk before the chicks at all
times.

Plan to Maintain Dairy
Herd by Raising Calves

An excellent method of maintaining
the herd is by raising calves to supply
the place of old cows that are no
longer profitable. Such a herd will
always contain a considerable num-
Der of young animals that have not
yet reached full development, and,
therefore, such a herd will seldom
equal in average production per ami
NAL herd that is maintained wholly
by purchase. At the same time,
greater degree Of uniformity of type
may be maintained where the animals
are raised If land is abundant and
cheap, the cost Of raising a calf, up to
the time that she becomes a fully de-
velOped COW, will be less than that of
purchasing a similar animal outright.
Through force of circumstances by far
the greater number of dairymen must
rely on raising the calves necessary to
maintain the herd. This being the
case, the ordinary dairyman will need
to provide himself with the services
of a bull suitable to produce useful
dairy cows. In most cases he will
need to own this bull, as the question
Of the selection and care of the breed
ing bull has an important bearing upon
the maintenance of the dairy herd.

Mortality Loss in Baby
Chicks Nav Be Prevented

According to a report from the ex-
tension division, Ohio State university,
a record from 300 farmers shows that
the mortality loss in baby chicks UP to
the age Of ten weeks was 2O.3 per cent
This probably is a conservative esti-
mate as no doubt farmer who is pro-
gressive enough to keep records is
more apt to give his chicks better care
than will the average farmer. The
chief causes of these losses may be
summarized as follows: Weak chicks,
diarrhea, crowding, leg weakness, can
nibalism, cOccidfosis and intestinal
worms
A great deal may be done in pre-
venting these losses by adhering close
ly to the five essentials of chick rails
ing advocated by the University of
Missouri. These are:
1. Hatch early.
2 Brood each hatch separately for
four weeks.
3. Range on fresh ground.
4. Feed a balanced ration constantly.
5. Separate pullets and cockerels.

Crop Pasture for Sheep
Favored at Beltsville

Forage crops, instead of permanent
grass pasture, for sheep have given
good results on the Department Of
Agriculture experiment farm, at
Beltsyille, Maryland.
The sheep were started off on fall
sown wheat, rye and winter barley.
Next they grazed oats and Canadian
field peas sown in mixture, then soy
beans, and after that corn and velvet
beans, when fall-sown grain was
again in order. This schedule pro-
vided an unbroken supply Of feed.
And the sheep did very well. One
important point is that they were
little troubled by stomach worms
and other internal parasites-pests
which stunt and weaken a flock and
are the bane of a sheep mans life
when permanent pastures are used.
These results also should interest
farmers, who are trying to mix live
stock with their wheat farming. Grass
cannot we'll be got back onto the
soils of semi-arid regions. But by
adding such forage crops as kafir,
sudan grass and perhaps sweet clover,
to the grazing furnished by wheat, an
all-year feed program for sheep could
be worked out.
Doctor McCampbell, livestock spe-
cialist at the Kansas Agricultural
college says so, and believes that a
real opportunity exists therein for
wheat farmers.

To Regulate Incubator

If it seems impossible to regulate
the incubator, examine the wafer and
see whether or not it still has the
ether which causes expansion and con
seQuent regulation of the thermostat.
The waters are filled with ether which
will evaporate through a very small
leak. Detach the suspected wafer,
and shake close to the ear. If the
liquid is in it, you will hear it shake,
and the trouble is not there. If there
is no sound Of liquid. buy new wafer
and save time, money and worry.
