Lime and Phosphates as
Pasture Top Dressings

Some of the English Investigators
have demonstrated the good effect
from lime and phosphates as top
dressings of pasture. The carrying
capacity has been doubled under such
treatment. Previously cattle or sheep
grazing on such land had been troubled
with ricketts, resulting in heavy losses
from cripples and paralysis. In one
such instance reported from England,
lime and superphosphate were ap-
piled. Samples of the grasses from
treated and untreated areas were ana
lyzed showing that the percentage of
phosphorus, potash and lime had been
more than doubled through the treat
ment. The increases were as follows:
Phosphorus 1856 per cent, potash 102
per cent, lime 152 per cent.

Agricultural Notes
.:..a&..s.s..s..s.s.s.

Artichokes make good pasture for
hogs in late summer or early fall.
Cut the lawn often and do not re-
move the clippings. They help to
build a good lawn soil.
The farmer who applies timely and
thorough sprays consistently through
out the season is the one who haryests
profitable crop. Quality products
pay best.
Garden paintings, either fruit or
vegetable, frequently suffer from lack
of moisture during summers. Com
plete control of weeds and grass in
the garden is the protection practiced
by the skillful grower.
Dust Eallows are a source of pleas
ure TO the hens during the summer
months. Spade up the fresh, moist
earth in the shade, and the hens will
dc the rest. Dust baths are instru-
mental in keeping lice under control

Fattening Ration Is
Given Out by JERSEY

The New Jersey station gives the
following as desirable special fat
tening ration: One hundred pounds
corn meal, fifty pounds wheat mid
dlings, fifty pounds ground heavy oats
or ground oatmeal, thirty pounds meat
scrap.
This mash is mixed with water and
fed to the brOilers three times a day,
all they will clean up in 10 to 20 min
utes. When milk is available for
mixing, the meat scrap should be omit
ted from the mash. If semisolid but
termilk is used, dilute one part of it
with three parts of water and then
mix with mash. When powdered milk
is used, substitute thirty pounds of ir
and omit the meat scrap. Water
should be kept available for the birds.
Market the broilers when they weigh
two and two and half pounds.

Cod Liver Oil Gives
Uniformity to Chicks

Those who have made use Of cod
liver Oil-given it thorough trial for
complete season, feeding it to all
fowls on the plant from growing
chicks to matured laying and breeding
stock-report a decided better and
more uniform growth in young chicks,
better mott in old birds. Common dis
eases Of the flock have been practical
ly eliminated. The layers produce
many more eggs. Eggs for Matching
have been more fertile and the eggs
hatch better. They also say the cost
is nil compared with the result OBJ
tanned.
The poultry raiser who fails to make
use of cod liver oil in his pOultry-feed-
ing operations for the layers, breeders
and growing stock is making a big
mistake. A seasons trial will be the
best investment ever made.

Jim and Waterman were about the

of an old New York stock, they were
at school together and at college,
Jim's father, however, had been a
canny and successful business man,
and when he died had left fortune of
uncommon size entirely to his SON.
Waterman's sire, on the contrary, had
been an able but erratic person who
dissipated the fortunes of his family

Sten1-Rust Spores
in Burberry Bush
Common Plant May Produce
64,000,000, 900 in Course
of One Year.
prepared by the United States Department
of eric

prepared by. the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
Calculating the possibilities of the
barberry bush as source of stem rust
in wheat has carried Investigators Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture into mathematical multiplied
tons that are beyond the reading ca
pacity Of the man whose arithmetical
tables may have stopped with billions
or trillions. Lynn ID. Hutton, of the
bureau Of plant industry, says that a
common barberry bush to s feet high
may produce more than $4,000 100000
stem-rust spores In single year.
Spores Are Small.
These spores are extremely small
and may be carried by the wind. Each
one that alights on a grain or grass
plant may produce rust pustule
which contains 100000 red or summer
rust spores, and any one of these
alighting on grain plant may again
multiply itself by about 100000 within
a week or ten days. Just assuming
that each spore from the original bush
lodged favorably and multiplied, the
number of rust spores in the second
generation OF red rust would be ex-
pressed by 256 followed by 10 zeros,
besides which the number of cents
in all the European war debts COM
bined would make comparatively easy,
reading.
Grain Loss Is Big.
Four or five additional generations
may be produced in year favorable
to rust spread. Fortunately for our
food supply only a small percentage Of
these spores ever actually terminate
and damage the small grains. Those
that do live, however, are responsible
for an average annual loss Of 10000
600 bushels of small grains in the up
per Mississippi valley states.
How many barberry bushes may re-
main as sources of infection is not
known. Many have been destroyed as
farmers have realized how dangerous
they are, but many have not yet been
reached. Each one remaining is
source Of danger.

LICENSE RENEWAL
ORDER IS 0BEYED
Instructions From Police De-
partment Bring Out Many
Business Applicants.

A long line of persons seeking to
renew business licenses which expired
October 81, formed in front of the office
of Wade H. Coombs, District Superin-
tendent of Licenses today, shortly fol-
lowing an order issued by the Police
Department calling upon policemen to
arrest those who had failed to renew
their licenses.
Mr.. Coombs estimated that approx
mately 600 of the licenses would be re-
newed today. According to figures he
supplied to the Police Department,
approximately 5000 out of the $4,000
establishments who should have renewed
their licenses October 81 had failed to
do so and were therefore operating their
business without licenses, in violation
of the license law of 1902
Included, these 700 restaurants were
specifically mentioned. The balance was
made up of cigar dealers, soda foun-
tains, barber shops, real estate firms
fortune teller and others coming under
the license laws.
The general order called upon the
commanders of all precincts to see that
the law IVES rigid!y enforced and to sub
NIT reports to police headquarters on
December l as to the number of ceses
presented in court for violation of the
lew during No7ember. together with a
statement of the action taken by the
court.
