Don't Dope Weak Chicks
Giving "dope" to sick or weakly
chicks is wasted effort. Vigor is the
foundation of the paying flock. Neith
er sentiment, pity, nor purchase price
should pervent the owner from killing
every weak, deformed, and diseased
chick. O. A. C. Experiment station.
Sow Flax Shallow
Fiber flax should be planted shallow
on a mellow, firm seed bed. When
drilled in shallow with a double disc
or hoe drill a more even stand may
usually be had with 30 pounds less
seed to the acre. The usual rate for
broadcasting is 100 to 125 pounds per
acre. O. A. C. Experiment station.
Mineral Mix for Hogs
A mineral mixture for hogs, kept
before them at all times, is, a great
help in keeping the animals in good
physical condition. A healthy and
thrifty hog will utilize feed to better
advantage than one not physically fit,
so grain will be saved by using min
eral. The following mixture is recom
mended by the United States depart
ment of agriculture:
Wood ashes bushel
Charcoal 1 bushel
. Salt 8 pounds
Air slaked lime ... 4 pounds
Powdered sulfur 4 pounds
Copperas 2 pounds
Sterilize Prune Boxes
One important step in the control
of brown rot is to sterilize the prune
boxes before returning them to the or
chard. Boiling water or live steam
will do the work effectively. A good
arrangement is to have a tank in
which water may be kept hot with
pipes run from the drier furnace. This
tank, if large enough, will provide a
means of washing the trays as well,
thus keeping them from getting gum
med up with drippings. O. A. C. Ex
periment station.
THE SLEEP OF TREES
The common fruit trees have a nor
mal rest period and are dormant dur
ing the early part of the winter. Dur
ing the latter part of the winter they
gradually awaken and the first evi
dence of growth is noted id the swell
ing of the buds.
The date at which the trees come
into blossom is modified most by two
conditions.
The trees that go into winter quar
ters or become dormant first in the
fall are the ones that ordinarily start
growth first in the spring. This state
ment is true particularly in compar
ing different trees of the same varie
ty. Trees of different varieties or
species can not be compared so well
with each other.
The other factor that influences the
date at which trees come into blos
som is the amount of heat to which
they are exposed during the middle
and latter part of the winter.
The plant contains in the branches
and trunk enough stored food to put
out its blossoms without any growth
taking place, and the placing of mlulch
or material over the soil to keep it

cool and prevent root action is more
liable to do harm to the trees than
any good and it can not in the least
modify the date at which the trees
will come into blossom.
Whitewashing the trunk and
branches of the tree and keeping them
perfectly white during the winter and
spring will sometimes delay the blos
soming period. In order for this to be
effected, however, the whitewash
must be applied early in the winter
and kept white until blossoming time
in the spring.
Mulching the soil to keep it cool
will retard root growth and is liable
to cause the trees to suffer for plant
food that should be gathered by the
roots early in the spring.

HARDLY KNOWS HOW
TO ESTIMATE VALUE
CATTLE MEN'S MEETING
TO SHOW FEEDING TESTS
A daily gain of one pound per steer
was made on alfalfa hay alone over a
three-yea? period at the Eiatern Ore
gon experiment station, Union, while
the average daily gain per steer fed
a combination of hay and silage was
1 pounds. Oregon growers will be
given an opportunity to see the cat
tle that were fed by these methods for
the last two years, and hear reports
of the feeding experiments at the
feeder's day meeting at the Union
branch station, April 13 and 14.
"These experiments have shown
that for cattle fattening a combination
of silage and hay gives far better re
sults than hay alone," says H. A. Lind
gren, extension animal husbandry
specialist. "The combination ration
was also somewhat cheaper.
"This experiment is well worth your
while looking into. The" meeting will
afford an opportunity to actually see
what can be done in the way of prac
tical feeding, as shown by the experi
ment station."
ECONOMIC HOG GROWING
LIMITED BY FARM WASTE
"The problem of hog production in
the northwest is largely that of bal
ancing up with local consumption,"
says H. A. Lindgren, animal husband
ry extension specialist at O. A. C.
"Oregon finds it profitable to produce
only the number of hogs needed to
consume the farm waste."
It is noted that 50 per cent of the
hogs of the United States are grown
west of the Mississippi river, while
68 per cent are consumed east of the
river. The corn belt hogs are slaught
ered at the river towns, which draw
heavily from the hog-producing states
of the middle west. The northwest
states are too far from the center of
consumption to compete with the corn
belt production.
SHERIFF'S SALE
"I hardly know how to estimate
the value of the benefit I have receiv
ed from Number 40 Prescription,"
writes Mr. Morris Law, of National
Soldiers Home Wis. "I was a suffer
er from chronic constipation of many
years standing," he continued, "which
finally developed into stomach trou
ble and I was unable to eat anything
that did not cause intense suffering.
I tried several doctors as well as ev
erything I heard of that was recom
mended for my complaint. I was also
troubled with catarrh and had drop
sical swellings in my feet and ankles
which the doctors said was caused by
a weak heart, I had about given up
hopes of getting any better when I
read your advertisement for Number
40 Prescription and concluded to try
it. I have taken two bottles and have
received such wonderful benefit that
I cheerfully recommend it to anyone
suffering as I was."
Number 40 Prescription is recom
mended for blood troubles from any
cause; chronic constipation, indigest
tion, stomach and liver troubles, ec
zema, skin troubles, etc. Acts on the
liver removing waste matters from the
system thus cleansing the blood of all
impurities and doing away with the
need of cathartic pills and tablets.

FRUIT TREE PROTECTION
HAD AT LITTLE COST
Persons having only a few fruit
trees may keep them free from dis
ease and insect pests at small ex
pense and without outside help ac
cording to W. S. Brown, head of the
department of horticulture at the
Oregon Agricultural college. There is
no reason, he says, why the man with
three apple trees should not have just
as clean fruit as the man with threa
thousand.
"I suggest that any one having but
a few trees buy a good low priced
hand spray rig which will give ample
protection against diseases and pests.
A simple bucket pump equipped with
a long hose costs only from $7 to $9.
but is entirely practical. When one
person runs the pump and the other
sprays, a few trees can be covered
easily and quickly.
"A complete spray calendar may
be had from the college for the asking
which shows clearly what to apply
for every disease and when to apply
it Lime-sulfur, Bordeaux mixture,
and arsenate of lead can be obtained
from local dealers so that all is need
ed is to mix them according to sim
ple directions and put them on.
'Another good plan is for several
persons to club together and get a
barrel outfit mounted on wheels.
These outfits are not high priced but
are capable of caring for quite a
number of trees. Any one desiring
additional information as to where to
obtain any of the spray rigs mention
ed should feel free to write to the hor
ticultural department."
FARM REMINDERS
In keeping kale plants for seed
only low thickly branched plants with
many moderate sized leaves should be
saved. These low growing heavy
yielders produce the most feed and
stand the hard winters best. O. A.
C. Experiment station.
Small Spray Rigs Practical
Farmers or city dwellers having
only a few fruit trees need not let
their fruit be destroyed by diseases
and insect pests because they lack a
power sprayer. For a small number
of trees, even a bucket pump rig will
give good results, while its cost is
slight. Materials can be purchased
in small quantities in nearly every
town, and any one can find out just
what to get and when to apply it by
reading the spray calendar which may
be had free by writing to the 0. A. C.
Experiment station.
Select Spud Patch With Care
Ground for the potato patch should
be seelcted with care. Aside, from
matter of proper soil type it is im
portant to use soil that is free from
contamination with potato diseases. No
land should be used that has been in
potatoes within three years past if
possible to avoid it. Growers should
obtain disease free seed at once and
store it under proper conditions to in
sure firm potatoes at planting time.
O. A. C. Experiment station.
Rid House Plants of Insects
Most of the insects affecting the
foliage of house or yard plants, in
cluding scale, white fly, aphis, and
red spider may be killed by bathing
the plants in a soap and tobacco so
lution. To one quart of strong soap
solution made from castile or other
good hand soap add 10 drops of Black
Leaf 40, which can be obtained at the
drug store. Bathe the plant thorough-

Clover, either red or alsike, im

but it is hard to get a good stand on
such soil. Seeding alone in April or
early May is the best "method. Seed

Spores on Dead Leaves
Spores of apple and pear scab are
produced by the millions on the dead
leaves about the time the huds begin
to break in the spring. These spores
cause the first scab infection hence
a dormant spray for this disease is
useless. Turning under the dead

Chicks Need Good Feed
"No grain or mixture of grains
supplies the various elements of food
necessary for normal chick develop

derived from ,an animal source, such
as milk, eggs, or meat scraps." This
