Ground or Whole Grain

There is no advantage in grind
ing grain for young calves, accord
ing to experiments recently finished
at Purdue university. Ten calves
were raised to an age of six months
on whole grain and ten more were
fed on ground grains of the same
kind. At the end of the experiment
one lot had gained just about the
same amount as the other. The
calves on ground grain ate more
than the others, but did not make
correspondingly greater GAIN

Points Out Advantage
of "Gassing" Borers

Peach growers who "gassed' their
trees year ago with p. d. B. treat
ment for the control of peach borers
can economic by emitting the
treatment this fall, but all those who
have not treated their trees for
two or more years probably will be
ahead by doing so at this season, ac-
cording to results Of survey made
by S. c. Chandler, entomologist of
the Illinois state natural history sur
vey, In cooperation with the horti-
cultural department of the College
Of Agriculture, University of ILL
nois.
The peach borer Is one of the haZ-
ards which has made the annual
farm value of Illinois peach crop

during the past 21 years. Every
fall growers puzzle over whether
or not they should economlze by
emitting the treatment. Data col
lected in the survey help answer
the question for this year. Thirty
orchards In the largest peach area
Of the state were covered
Only 60 per cent wormy trees, a
light infestation, was found In ten
orchards which had been treated
with P. D. 3. at the end of the 1882
season. In contrast, 36.1 per cent
of the trees were infested in ten or
chards which were treated in 1881,
or two years ago. This was almost
six times the infestation in orchards
that were treated year ago Over
81 per cent of the trees were found
infested In ten orchards which
were last treated in 1880 or earlier.

Wilt in Alfalfa

Wilt is about the most serious dis
ease Of alfalfa. Diseased plants be-
come dwarfed. especially when the
plants are more than one-half ma
ture size after the field has been cut.
Other indications are yellowing of
the leaves or nothing and whiting,
as if injured by frost. The disease
is spread by hay from infected
fieids, by flow water passing from a
diseased field, and perhaps to some
extent by mowers. Rotating crops
and destroying all plants from a dis
eased field are control methods.
Seed is not known to spread the dis
ease.-Wallace's Farmer.

FORMER MERIDIANITE FISHES IN
LAKE ERIE WEATHER IL BELOW

Mr.. Ferris Phillips of 3634-Suite 5

trip on Lake Erie when the ground
was covered with snow and the wea-
Their being IL below Zero.
1t was not known that fish was in
the lake so abundently. After the dis
covery was made the news spread over
the entire East of Cleveland. These fish
were latter called Depression Fish"
Mr. Phillips was accompanied by two
of his boy friends, one being Mr.
William Frank Thompson also form
er Meridianite. After entering Lake
Erie these fellows saw that a large
crowd was already in the snow and
was fishing without bait, pulling out
four and five at a time Sacks, bushel
baskets and trucks were quickly being
filled to their capacity with depression
fish and sold at lie each. After Mr.
Phillips had caught fifteen or twenty
fish he was forced to retire because his
companions could no longer stand the
intense GOODNESS of the weather and
snow, although they were being warm
ed by a fire which they had made in
a bucket. A friend visited Mr.. Thomp-
son shortely after he retired and found
him sitting as close to the heater as
80 is to 40. This would not have happen
had they listened to a previous advice
given them by Mr.. Lonnie Spears, a
third former Meridianite who spent his
leisure time by the fireside. Mr.. Spears
advised them that only summer was
the time to go fishing.
After cooking the fish they looked
like they had a million little bones in
them which would not brake. Northe-
ners referred to these fish as going to
school, but this was a real joke on our
three little Southerners" who had
never heard of fish going to school.
During the time these fellows were on
Lake Erie, an Aviator came over in
his aeroplane and took a snapshot Of
them, which came out the next day in
the cleveland Plain Dealer" a daily
news paper. Mr.. Phillips wrote a short
epitome concerning the fishing trip is
