The sea lion could hold his own
against his natural enemies, but his
real troubles began when man dis
covered that he was insulated with
several inches of oil-bearing blubber
and that his hide made good leather.
Nearly 200 years ago the slaughter be-
gan on the west coast, says Nature
Magazine.
Thousands Of sea lions died for the

person a thrill to view the men at

large bucket where it is poured into

United States about six years ago in
Indiana, but until the discovery just
mentioned had not been seen in Min
nesota.
The disease, which is of bacterial
origin, causes spotting of the to-
mato leaves and in cases of heavy
infection the leaves may dry up and
die. Spots on the surface of the
green fruit are also common. Invest
igations in Indiana have shown that
the disease is transmitted by the
seed and a method for disinfecting
the seed has been devised. This con-
sists of soaking the seed for five
minutes in solution of one part of
mercuric chloride to 1000 parts of
water, then washing it in clear water
and drying.
DR.. Leach says that the bacterial
spot disease is frequently quite de-
structive and on the two farms where
he found it, the yield had been re.
duced by probably so per cent OF

FIRE CAUSES $4,000
LOSS NEAR MORGAN

F. w. Zaske, Morgan farmer, re-
Gently lost his barn and silo and con-
siderable stock and farm products
when fire broke out in the barn late
at night. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 which is partially covered by
insurance.
Mrs. Zaske was awakened by the
roar of the flames and the light
thrown on the house. An explosion
in the NOW where considerable alfal-
ia hay was stored is thought to have
been caused by spontaneous combus-
ton. Horses and cattle in the barn
were released and with the excep-
ton of one horse and two calves all
were saved. The fire department
from Morgan was powerless to save
the barn but did prevent other build
ings from catching afire.

WINTER INJURY MAKES
RASPBERRY CANES DIE

If your raspberry canes have been
dying during the hot, dry weather,
don't jump at the conclusion that
they are diseased. Instead, they may
be dying as the result of winter IN
Jury says the division of plant path
ology at University Farm, st. Paul.
The condition is quite prevalent
throughout Minnesota this year,
according to the plant patho-
logists, but the ill effects do not show
up much until the warm, dry wealth
er which comes about fruiting time.
Then the fruiting spurs turn yellow
and die, and the fruit dries up before
maturing.
Although they cannot be absolutely
certain, the plant Psychologists believe
that the winter injury occurred fol
lowing the thaw last February. They
have Investigated large number OF
plants and in nearly all cases have
found that the main fruiting spur
buds have been either completely
killed or so withered by the cold as to
be incapable of producing large
healthy spurs. The secondary buds
which developed were also too weak
to withstand the hot weather.
Many growers have confused Thu
condition with mosaic disease. How

can be found, the plants should moi

MINI. BEEMEN STUDY
COST OF PRODUCTION

What does it cost to produce 9
pound of honey in Minnesota? To
the uninitiated, it might for almost
nothing, since the raw materials are
obtained free from the fields and
trees and the nectar is gathered by
the busy little bees who get only
their keep" for their pains. But it
is different story to the practical
beekeeper who furnishes the equip
ment, handles the bees and markets
the crop. He realizes only too well
that he is apt to get 'stung" unless
he carefully watches his costs and is
thoroughly business-like in his man
agement.
To help beekeepers find out what
it costs to produce honey, the divi-
sions of beekeeping and agricultural
economics of the Minnesota agricul-
tural experiment station are cooper
ating with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in making a
three-year study. The project has al
ready been started with about 20 bee
keepers signed up. At least so are
expected to enroll before the organ
ization work is finished. Beekeepers
will receive blanks on which they
will record all items of expense in
volved in producing their crop, such
as labor, purchases of equipment, in
terest on, investment, and other costs.

TREAT THIN LAMBS
FOR STOMACH WORMS

Many thin lambs are arriving at
our markets indicating that quite a
percentage of them are infested with
internal parasites. By treating them
for stomach worms, these lambs can
be marketed in much better condi-
ton, making it possible to save two
or three dollars per hundred-weight,
says Philip A. Anderson, sheep spe-
cialist, University Farm.
Lambs infested with the common
stomach worm are thin and lack
thriftiness; further symptoms OF
stomach worms are pale papery-like
skins, constant securing with thin
ness, and in advanced cases, SWELL
ings under the lower jaw, commonly
referred to as bottle neck. Lambs
and older sheep so infested may be
treated with copper sulphate (blue
stone); if they give indication OF be-
ing badly infested, the treatment
should be repeated every thirty days
during the pasture season.
The solution is made by dissolving
one-fourth of a pound of clear blue
crystals of copper sulphate in one
gallon of warm water, and then add
ing enough cold yater to make three
gallons. Enamel or earthenware
containers should be used, as copper
sulphate corrodes tin or galvanized
utensils.
Sheep to be treated should be pen
ned up for Is or 20 hours, allowing
them water only. 1t is best to con-
fine sheep the afternoon before treat
ing so dosing may be start in the
morning. Doses advised are one
ounce for lambs three months of age;
two ounces for older lambs, or three
to three and one-haf ounces for
yearlings or older sheep.
For the actual dosing, small pop
bottle with a rather long neck may
be used, although the common syr-
inge of two or three ounces capacity
is more convenient. In dosing, care
should be taken not to raise the
sleeps head much higher than nor
NAL carriage as the solution may en-
ter the windpipe and cause pneumo-
MIA. If sheep struggle, refrain from
dosing until they have settled down
again.
After dosing, keep sheep off feee
and water for about four hours, per-
hitting them to rest before driving
to pasture. Copper sulphate is 9
poison and extreme exertion after
dosing may mean death to sheep
However, no losses need occur il
dosing is done properly.

TWINS MAKE UNUSUAL
RECORDS AT COLLEGE

Twin brothers made up the first
"class" ever graduated by the Uni
versity of Minnesota from the course
in agricultural engineering. These
young men, Bruce and Byron Colby,
received their degrees at the June
commencement and have since enter
ed the employ of the U. S. Geological
Survey. Bruce is at Lodi, California,
where he is making ground water
studies, while Byrnon is employed IN
rivers, lakes, and reservoirs work at
San Francisco.
These boys made remarkable re-
cords in college and were both grad
uated with distinction" their honor
points ratios being 2.S9 out possible
800. They led the entire senior en-
gineering class in all lines Of engin-
eering. AS juniors both were elected
to Tau Beta Pi, national honorary
engineering fraternity.
Las February the boys took the u.
S. civil service examinations for jun
ior agricultural engineers and junior
civil engineers, landing at the very
top of the eligible registers for both
lines of work. AS result they were
urged to accept positions with the
Geological Survey and were also con-
sidered by many agricultural colleges
for teaching and research positions.
The Colby brothers are sons of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles M. Colby. They
were born on Mower county farm
near Waltham. The family lived for
time near st. Croix Falls, Wiscon-
sin, where the boys attended prepare
tory school.
Frof. William Boss, chief of the
agricultural engineering division, I'm
iversity Farm, points out that the
positions taken by the Colby brothers
were but two of many which were
available. There is large demand
for trained agricultural engineers,
he says, which should encourage 9TH
er young men to consider taking up
the professional agricultural engin-
eering course in their university
work.

of about 60 suits and number of

number of suits left for cleaning were
also taken. No insurance was car
