HOW TO l01SO. ItAHlHTS
The winter campaign for the rab
bits, so well organized by Mr. Hrown
late county agent, was as every one
knows unavoidably postponed. Win
ter poisoning is to bo commended
and encouraged but the rabbits are
here now.
The following ret-eipe is giving
splendid results over niuc':i of the
county:
1 part pulverized strychnine (al-kaliod)
1 part brown sugar or part
sacharine.
To 15 parts common table salt.
Mix dry taking good care that no
dust is inhaled. See that all rabbit
pens are well supplied with this mix
ture and that baits of one half tab
lespoon each are placed around ex
posed fields. To properly protect
livestock, use one of the following
devices:
Take a stake 2x2 inches and drive
in the ground leaving the top only
Tour inches above ground; then bore
an indh hole in the top of the stake
and place the bait in the hole.
Or scatter 2x4 blocks four Inches
long with holes bored in the sides
around the field and place the pois
on In them.
This will entertain bunny for the
summer we feel sure.
Se that every farmer makes it his
personal business to put thiH out.
Let us know as to results obtained.

L. A. HUNT,
County Agent.

We are told that hats this spring are
to be veritable flower gardens, notes a
millinery authority. And It would take
no oracle to predict that of all flow
ers the rose would be supreme. Even
before the armistice was signed the
rose became Immensely popular real
roses and artificial roses and the rose
motif In decoration. Then with the
armistice and victory the color of the
rose became one of the most success
ful of victory colors. In fact, it was
various shades of rose that appeared
to be the Instinctive choice of most
women, so that simultaneously they ap
peared In rose colored dance and din

Experts of the Department of Ag
riculture have discovered and are
now combatting the spread of two
diseases of wheat which have ap
peared for the first time In this
country in Madison county, Illinois.
The first of these Is a disease appar
ently identical with the "take-all"
or "white heads" 'known In many for
eign countries. The second Is flag

Australia and Japan.
The Department of Agriculture
announces1 that although these new
diseases may cause heavy losses to
indivldaul farmers, the total area
likely to be affected before eradica
tion or control is accomplished will
not be significant.
An agent of the department re
ported the presence of these diseas
es and promptly representatives of
Hie experiment station were sent to
investigate. The diseases were Iden
tified and measures taken to prevent
their extension were taken Immedi
ately. At the same time investiga
tions were undertaken in other sec
tions to detect and fight the diseases
if they should appear.
llefore the discovery of these dis
eases the Department of Agriculture
had conducted hearings with a view
Of prohibiting the Importation of
seed wheut from Australia, Japan,
India and practically the whole of
Europe, and iiuaiantino regulations
Were being prepared when the re

The average cost of a concrete sur

including the concrete surface only,
Is ubout $12,300 per mile, according
to contract prices under which con

this commission. Of course, the cost
of grading, drainage, culverts, etc.,
will vary greatly.
So fur as the concrete surface be

17,000,000 were engaged in some ;
