With the summer and its thousand
joys comes also the time when con-
tact with poison ivy and such other
plants as cause an unpleasant and
even painful result lis a source of
trouble to those who are careless in
their exploratory activities.
Some individuals do not seem to be
very susceptible to the sap from
such plants or vines, while others
are extremely SO. In the time of
Towering some persons are poisoned
by the minute PARTICLES of pollen if
they are where it can reach them
These poisons should be avoided
when possible If one is exposed,
no time should be lost in taking the
steps to prevent an out
break from the irritant.
If one is in danger of contact with
he poison, gloves should be worn
and the face protected. After a con-
sact, no time should be lost in taking
5teps to prevent an outbreak. The
iermatitis, in some instances, may
be avoided even after handling these
plants by use Of an alkaline soap and

soda dissolved in water is a fairly
good remedy in cases of mild infec-
ton; but it is not as effective as
the alcohol and hydroxide mentioned
Homemade lye soap also is good,
used in a heavy lather and with re-
peated rinsings.
The washing must be done
promptly and thoroughly, with al
ternate lather and rinsing. Other
wise it is apt to spread the poison
Prevention, however, is best of all
Keep your eyes open for the three
lcaved vine climbing over fence
posts and around trees. If some
whitish berries are attached, even
though withered, it is added proof
that the vine is one to avoid.

Figures from Wash. Agr. Exp. Sta.
Pullets fed almost entirely on grain
after they are six weeks of age, will
take from two to three months long
r to mature than those receiving a
proper ration consisting of the right
proportions Of growing mash and
grain. They lose the opportunity to
lay when eggs are worth the most,
do not cost any less to mature, are
smaller in size, and lay smaller eggs
when they do come into production.
Money is never made by feeding
either animals or birds in an abnor
NAL or improper manner. Normal
growth precedes normal production
never the contrary. Let US see why
A correct summer feeding scheme is
practical
If high-class growing mash car
rying about l6 per cent protein is
placed in one hopper and cracked
corn and wheat in another, the chicks
will work out the correct balance of
mash to grain and mature at the
proper age. At first the birds will
consume very little grain. They do
not need it. As they grow older
there is less physical demand for
mash and more for grain. Begin
ming at seven weeks the chicks will
eat three or more times as much
mash as grains, gradually reducing
the consumption Of mash until the
proportion has nearly reversed itself
by the twentieth week. This means
that between the sixth and twentieth
weeks a pullet will consume from 6
to pounds of a good growing mash
and 10 to IL pounds Of grain.
No one can afford to delay the
maturity of a pullet two months for
6 or pounds of mash. The cost is
too small. 1t may be as low as Sc
or 10c if the farmer uses some of the
popular mash supplements now on

Sewage Sledge Has
FertiIizing Value

Sewage sludge is the waste organic
material produced in the publication
of sewage at a number of towns and
cities in the state. The fertilizing
value of this by-product varies to a
considerable extent, depending upon
its water content, composition of the
raw sewage, and methods employed
for purifying the sewage.
"Activated sludge" produced al
some disposal plants contains, when
in dry condition, approximately 70
pounds of nitrogen and 40 pounds of
available phosphoric acid per ton. This
activated sludge compared favorably
with other fertilizers of organic or
igin
"Digested sludge" is produced where
the sewage is digested in closed tanks
by the Imhoff system. This type of
sludge has a lower fertilizing value
than activated sludge. According to a
number Of analyses made at the Ohio
n = dIlti4 ell pei IiliIiil DldllOI1 W ~
w. Ames, chemist, ton of dry di-
gested sludge contains about 80 pounds
Of nitrogen and 20 pounds Of available
phosphoric acid.
As a sewage sludge does not supply
large amount of Immediately avail
able nitrogen, it is less effective than
nitrate Of soda or sulphate Of am
monia as a source Of nitrogen and is
better adapted for crops that have a
long growing period. If the sludge Is
dry it may be applied at the rate of
500 pounds or more per acre. Sludge
as it accumulates at the purifying
plants generally contains a consider
able amount of water When in this
condition it may be applied at the rate
of 10 tons or more per acre. Better
results will be obtained from the use
of sludge on most soils if the sludge
application is supplemented with an
application of 2-12-6 fertilizer at the
rate of about 100 to 300 pounds per
acre.
