CELEBRATES of Calcium, Sodi-
UNI or Magnesium Are
Effective.

NOXious perennial weeds which
cause heavy losses on many farms
can be controlled under certain con-
ditionS by spraying with CELEBRATES of
calcium, sodium or magnesium, it is
indicated by tests conducted by the
Colorado Agricultural college.
Although more definite information
is needed before final recommends
tons can be announced. recent sur
vey of plots of weeds throughout the
state where killing tests were made
gives some light on the problem, ac-
cording to Bruce J. Thornton, assist
ant botanist for the Colorado expert

Observations made during this sur

INDIA
AND ITS PEOPLES
ALLIGATORS
By Copt. l. r. CIoUd Robinson

IN CEYLON many of the rivers
abound in alligators which come
ashore TO bask in the sun. all with
their heads turned toward the water
except one of them who acts as a
Waterman and whose Snout is turned
toward land. When he gives the signal
of danger there is a general stampede
into the river. They are so numerous
that one hardly thinks them worth
powder and ball, and their horny sides
make il more trouble TO kill them than
they are worth. A friend of mine,
had very narrow escape. His COM
panion, who was walking on the oppO-
site bank, took shot at an alligator
right in front of him; and instantly
the ball crashed into the branches of
tree under which my friend was
walking. Ii had been DETECTED from
the reptiles back.
There is a method Of catching alli-
gators which affords some sport to
those who are Indifferent to the suf-
fering il entails. You take a live puppy
and strap him on to raft formed of
two pieces of tough wood dashed in
the form of cross. You sharpen all
the four points of this cross and
fasten to it hank of Irvine yard
long 10 which you attach a rope. You
then float your puppy, who IL Of course
yelping loudly, on still pool or back
water of the stream, and tie the end
of the rope to tree. You then see
that your revolver is handy, and with
half dozen or more natives you sit
under the tree and watch.
In few minutes a pair of enormous
jaws appears above the surface of the
water; the puppy disappears into
them, but they do not close with the
facility with which they open, for the
cross has stuck in the brute's throat
and the strands of the hank of Irvine
have got between his teeth. You now
lay onto the rope with will, and
slowly draw the reluctant monster
ashore, while he lashes the water with
his tail in impOtent rage. When you
have got him on shore, you keep at a
respectful distance and take pot shots
with your revolver at his eye. If you
keep on doing this long enough you
will finally kill him. Those who have
tried this sport" say that the life of
the unfortunate puppy can be saved
more often than not.
The alligators in some of the rivers
of CeylOn are so voraciOus and nu-
merOus that the natives. who are very
fond of bathing, stake off their bath
ing places. From these strongholds
you can safely taunt an alligator
should he come and poke his nose be-
tween the bars and sniff your tempt
ing tlavor-even jabbing at him with a
knife. Near the mouths of the rivers
the natives think it is safe to battle
without the protection of any such
device. as they believe the water Is
too salt for the alligators and too
fresh for the sharks.

EARhNQTEESS

Waste in the bottom Of the silo
must be as completely eliminated az
possible.
Producing sweet cream requires
practically no more work or expense
than sour cream, except for cooling
and more frequent delivery.
Protein is the high cost element In
feeds and it's use should be governed
not only from a physical standpoint
but from an economical basis as
well.
At least one month before calving,
the heifers should be put In the milk
ing barn so that they can become &C.
customed to the barn and 20 the other
cows before calving.
One Of the most common mistakes
made in raising calves is to depend too
much on the pasture and not feed suf-
ficient grain and milk to keep the
calves developing normally.

Put Apples in Pit

Apples can be kept satisfactorily by
burying them in the ground, advises
the Farm Journal The quality Of
some varieties such as Ben Davis or
Russell is improved by burying. The
pit should be eight or ten inches deep
in a well-drained location. The apples
placed in it should be covered with
straw and when the temperature is
down as far as 20 degrees the straw
should be covered with three or four
inches of earth. In colder weather
another layer of straw and second
layer Of earth should be added. No
ventilation is required.

Kill Quack Grass

The best time to cultivate the al
falfa land to kill out the Quack grass
will be after the first crop of alfalfa
hay has been removed. There Is no
danger of its seeding by the time this
first crop is ready cut and the roots
will be somewhat exhausted by the
growth made. The ground will be In
better condition to work and the hot
weather will be more favorable for
killing out the Guack grass.

present tests indicate, and has no fire

1t is suggested that those who have
serious perennial weed problems get
in touch with their county extension
agent or with Mr.. Thornton of the
botany department at the college. If
one is in doubt as to the identification
of any weed he should dig up com

Fruit Tree Leaf-Roller
Major Pest in Orchards

The fruit-tree leaf-roller was first
noticed as a serious pest in New York
state in 1911. Since that time it has
increased in numbers and destructive
ness, until it has become major pest
in many orchards. 1t is notable for
its habit of becoming suddenly very
abundant and injurious in limited
area while orchards little distance
away may remain untouched by it.
During the next year or two it may
suddenly appear in some other local
ity. Once established in an orchard
it is likely to remain stubborn pest
until reduced by thorough control
measures.

Sodium Chlorate Must
Be Handled Carefully

One of the most important precau-
lions in the use of sodium chlorate as
a weed spray is its inflammability.
Large quantities of sodium chlorate
were used throughout the United
States in the last two years and sew
eral workers were severely burned.
Sodium chlorate does not catch fire
quickly but burns rapidly after once
started. Fire must be kept away from
all articles such as clothing, rubbish,
refuse, and any other infiammable ma
terial which has been sprayed with
sodium chlorate.

Perfect dyeins
SO easily done!

DIAMOND DYES contain the
highest quality anilines money can
buy! That's why they give such

The anilines in Diamond Dyes
make them so easy to use. No
spotting or streaking. Just clear,
even colors, that hold through wear
and washing.
Diamond Dyes never give things

Two Men to Fill Silo
Using Wisconsin Plan

With WiscOnsin's "small crew" plan
of silo filling only two men are need
ed. If the binder is equipped with a
bundle elevator two loads may be cut
and put on the racks without the hard
labor of pitching the bundles by hand.
The loads are then drawn TO the silO
and run through the cutter. A tractor
or electric motor furnishes the belt
power. Tramping is not necessary
for keeping silage, recent experiments
show, and in many cases this job has
been eliminated. Neither is it neces-
sary to have man at the feed table
of the modern ensilage cutter.
