African Province Found
to Be Flealess Oasis

A plague prevention survey Of AT
RIGA resulted in the discovery of q
spot which is absolutely free of fieas
and the incident was regarded as so
remarkable that the investigators tar
ried for some explanation Of the I'M
usual situation. This favored spot
was the town of Prieska and the
country Immediately surrounding 1t.
Fleas are VIGOROUSLY good carriers
Of the germs of this disease and
therefore the entire wide reaches of
Africa were Systematically searched
for animals carrying infected speci-
mems of "pullex irritans." Hence it
happens that certain dogs at Prieska,
which lies on the Karroo prairies of
the Cape Of Good Hope province,
were searched for fieas by the medi.
cal men.
Not a solitary jumper could be
found. Every cur, even the most
neglected and mongrel native-owned
brutes, was absolutely devoid Of
them.
The theory of some residents is
that the nitrates in the barren lands
surrounding this particular settle
ment act as a natural disinfectant.

Increase Yield of Corn
by Use of Paper Bags

Natures method of pollinating corn
by broadcasting the pollen on the wind
is not definite enough to suit the
needs Of plant breeders engaged in
corn Improvement. Hence the ordi-
nary grocery paper bag has come in
to conspicuous use as an aid in this
field of science. Placing a bag over
the tassel of particular plant. the
breeder is able to obtain pollen that
is uncontaminated by pollen from 9TH
er plants and to transfer it to select
ed ear shoots, which also are guard
ed from stray pollen by being bagged.
1t is estimated that more than 1907
600 corn plants were hand pollinated
this season by experts working for
the United States Department of Agri-
culture and the state experiment sta
lions. Modern corn breeding through
such controlled pollination is yielding
promising results.
One of the angles of corn breeding
that rapidly is being taken up at vari-
Gus stations is the development of
self-fertilized lines through hand pol
lination. It has been demonstrated
that some crosses between two
"selfed" lines will yield much more
than the parent variety from which
the "selfed" lines were developed.
Work is being continued to locate
those "selfed" lines that will give the
maximum yield when crossed.

Break Up Ant Nests
Before the Spring
Now Is the Time to Make
War on Pests.

Where the small ground ants were
abundant in corn and the roots OF
weak plants were full of small root
lice, this important pest will pass the
winter in the egg stage stored away
in the ants nests under ground. The
ant uses these lice as dairy cows or
rather Sugar cows" and they collect
and take care of their eggs so that
next spring they may have a young
herd of lice to place on the roots
of corn, certain grasses and weeds.
This trouble is worse in sandy soil.
To prevent damage in the coming
year such corn fields should be pl0wed
this winter when the ground is dry
and not frozen. This breaks up the
ant nests and scatters the ants and
their supply of louise eggs so that they
cannot re-establish their nests and save
the louise eggs. It destroys the ant
colonies and their supply of prospec-
tive Sugar cows" They may be
called sugar cows since they discharge
sweet sugar solution in place Of
milk like cows, and the ants depend
upon this for food.
Next spring If corn is to be planted
on this ground again. keep it fallow
until corn is planted so that any ants
or lice eggs which may escape the
winter will have largely bare ground
for some weeks in the spring. When
the lice hatch they must have plant
sap to eat or they die. This pest did
considerable damage in Missouri this
year and where 1t was serious farm
ers should take precautions to pre-
vent like injury next Missouri

HARD TO SET RULE
TO MARK SUCCESS
Difficulties Will Be Found
Many and Varied.

Everybody knows what success is,
but few of US could give very sat
isfactory definition of it. One doesn't
look for success in the dictionary,
and he wouldn't get much help If he
did. One looks about him and recog-
nizes instinctively this thing as sue
cess or that as the absence of 1t.
Lacking a common formula for sue
cess it becomes largely matter of
personal opinion.
Some one has pointed to Babe
Ruth's 600 home runs as an exam
pie of success. Which proSokes
Bishop Shaylor to ask, SIS it success
to have keen eye and strong arms?"
And then he undertakes to set rather
narrow metes and bounds to success.
Success is not going after what you
want. It is going after what is right"
For precision's sake success, of
course, is not going after anything
at all. It is getting what one goes
after. but it isn't always just that.
If one understands right as some
thing considered subjectively rather
than something decreed by an objec-
tive standard Of morals, then there
Is doubtless truth in what the bishop
says. But that lets the Babe out as
a horrible example. If the applica-
ton of his natural talent to knocking
home runs brings him satisfaction,
then it would seem from his stand
point to be the right thing and there
fore to mark him as successful.
One Of the most striking examples
Of the failure Of success occurs in
fiction, but it undoubtedly has its
counterpart many times multiplied in
fact. Edmund Dantes had suffered a
cruel injury. He devoted his life to
satisfaction Of his resentment by
avenging himself upon those respon-
sible for it. He achieved his mate
rial purpose, but he discovered, aft
er he had done so, that his resent
ment had long ago died natural
death and instead of satisfaction the
spiritual fruit was distress and re-
morse for what he had done.
Success, it seems to us, is relative

Pigs Made Appreciate
Gains on Cooked Beans

The Michigan agricultural expert
ment station has found that the cook
ing of Gull beans improves their feed
ing value for swine. The Ohio station
found that feeding cooked soy beans
saved 1857 pounds feed per 100 pounds
gain. In a ration including raw soy
beans, pigs fed 80 weeks averaged 1893
pounds weight as compared with an
average of PAT pounds for similar pigs
fed ration including cooked soy
beans but limited to the same amount
of total feed as was fed to pigs hav-
ing raw soy beans. Where pigs were
allowed OH pound cooked soy beans
daily plus other feeds to the limit of
appetite, they were ready for market
"a days earlier than similar pigs fed
raw soy beans. In these trials corn.
ground alfalfa, and minerals were fed
in addition to soy beans. Too many
soy beans produce soft pork. The Illi-
nois station tells US that a ration for
fattening hogs should not contain over
~ per cent Of soy beans.-Hoard's

Sees Small Profit
In Cattle Feeding
Outlook Not Promising for
Average Breeder This
Coming Spring.

4 II prewar prices prevail for beef
next spring, there is chance Tor very
little profit from cattle feeding, ex-
cept where the better grades of cat
tie are fed, concludes r. T. Burdick,
associate economist at the Colorado
Agricultural college.
The feeding of two-year-Old steers
was studied on a total of about 30
farms. Steers weighing an average OF
SO2 pounds when purchased made an
average Of 235 pounds of gain in 1873
days. At present prices of the feeds
actually used, the feed this winter
would cost $15.28 per head or $3.50
per 100 pounds of gain.
IF these same steers could be put
In the feedlot this fall at So per hum
dredweight," says Burdick. charges
for interest. death loss and miscel-
laneous cash items, plus man labor,
water. corrals and equipment, horse
labor and overhead would total S7.55
per head, or 1922 per hundredweight
Of gain. With feed costing $780, the
total estimated cost per hundred
weight Of gain would approximate
$0.72.
Changes in feeding practice will
effect this cost" he adds. "For ex-
ample, one man using alfalfa, corn,
wet beet pulp and pasture had costs
at 1881 prices which totaled $4.7S for
feed. or So per hundredweight Of gain.
Others had feed costs close to this,
while some had higher costs.
Assuming average gains, an SO2-
pound feeder steer would sell at 1,O37
pounds at the end of 1873 days. The
costs listed above would require a
sale price of $6.08 t. o. b. at the feed
lot, or margin of S1.OS to cover feed
lot costs. Extra charges for market
ing would require higher price at
the market.
Early spring market prices at Den
yer for the years 1904 to 1913 indicate
that for the month Of March there
was an average price of 1919 per hun
dredweight for all classes of beef. and
$3.50 as an average for April. No rec
ords are available for the better
grades Of fat cattle. Chicago prices
for this period were apparently more
than 81 per hundredweight above the
reported Denver prices.
'sThese prices, If duplicated this
spring, show chance for very little
profit, except where the better grades
of cattle are fed. since these grades
bring better prices. Indications are
that prices for beef are back to the
prewar level, consequently, feeder cat
tie win have to be purchased at pre-
b prices in order to show profit.

Have New MangersWide

A great saving of feed and time
can be accomplished by having the
floor and the manger of the COW sta
BILE just right The curb along the
stanchion line ought to be at least
six inches high to prevent the cows
from working the feed back under
foot Managers ought to be wide enough
to catch the feed that the COW pushes
out while she Is eating, and let 1t
slide back where she can reach it
easily without straining. Whether
manager divisions are necessary is a
matter of opinion but they are usual
ly worth their cost in seeing that the
COW gets exactly the amount of feed
given to her.-American Agriculturist.

Cholera Prevalent

Ohio is experiencing now an out
break Of hog cholera almost as serious
as that in 1926. according to reports of
state and federal veterinarians. Due
to low prices in recent years many
farmers have allowed their swine
herds to remain unprotected without
lmmunization against cholera. The
small community auction sales where
no supervision is found have been a
means Of spreading disease. veterinari-
ans have found, for frequently hogs
with the first stages Of disease are sold
in these sales and taken back to farms
where healthy animals are being
raised.--Ohio Farmer.
