GOOD MEALS J, S AND SERVICE at POPULAR RATES CHIN N, Propr. Spread of Wheat Rust by Barberry Scientists Have Shown That Epidemics Disappear With Killing of Bushes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) "Farmers proved that the common burberry spreads black stem rust to nearby wheat fields. Scientists showed why and how. Both have shown that rust epidemics disappeared when the bushes were destroyed," said Dr. E. C. Stukman of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. It is related that as early as 1720 a farmer in England becume so angry at seeing a large bur berry bush on a neighbor's farm, but near bis own wheat, that he poured boiling water around the roots of the plant at night until he bad killed it. Bushes Source of Trouble. A number of writers observed during the time from about 1750 to 18") that wherever burberry bushes were found neur wheat fields there also was found Infected grain. Although It was not known just how rust could come from the barberry, It was natural ttiat many farmers who had noted the damage lo their own fields should be convinced that the bushes were the source of the trouble and should be removed. Dif ferences of opinion between farmers and owners of barberry bushes became so sharp as to cause u so-called bar berry war, which raged from about 1805 until 1855. Farmers whose grain had been destroyed by black stem rust often destroyed the guilty barberry bushes without even asking the own er's permission. De Bary Solved Problem. "Scientists," says Doctor Stakmnn, "finally tried to find out whether ttie farmers were right. They were." The matter finally was cleared up In 1805 by De Bary, a German scientist, who 'undo careful experiments and found that the life history of the black stem rust parasite Is as follows: The black stage of the rust lives through the winter. It cannot Infect grains or grasses. The spores (seeds), however, do Infect the common barberry, on which they produce tho eluster-cnp stage of the rust. The cluster-cup spores are then blown by the wind and Infect grains and grasses, on which they produce the red or summer stage of the rust. This stage continues to propngate and spread until late sum mer or fall, when the black stage again Is produced. Hundreds of scientists have shown that Ie Bary wns right. No one any longer questions the fact. The bur berry stands convicted. Culture of Clover for Profitable Crop of Seed If you have a heavy growth of clover and wish to get n crop of seed, cut the clover as soon as the heads turn brown; cure In the windrow and, as soon as the bay rattles In the handling, haul under cover; spread one perk of coarse salt over each two horse load as put In the haymow. If sail cannot he had put a layer of straw or old bay between each loud. The hay will lake up the moisture In the clover and prevent beating In the mow. The side delivery hay rake Is superior to the ordinary bay rake, as It leaves Hie hay loose so the hot air can cure as well as the sunshine. This rake will take the place of the tedder, as the line leaves and stems are not broken In the handling and lost. Flios Will Reduce Milk Flow of Cows Materially The dairyman llnds the tly an expen sive Inhabitant of his premises. Flies reduce the milk Mow materially by an noying the cows. It Is the practice now to protect the cows through the use of repellant mixtures. The exten sion division of the college suggests lids mixture: Take twelve ounces of crude carbolic acid, twelve ounces of lurpen'lni', twelve ounces of oil of tar, noil three fourths of an ounce of tan nln. To llitse should be added enough kerosene to make the gallons of the mixture. Use this material In an atomizer and spray the cattle In the stable night and morning. Sudan Grass Excellent Emergency Pasture Crop If a fanner Is going to run short of hay or pasture, lie may well con slder putting out a piece of Sudan grass as an emergency crop. Two cut tings of hay may be made In one sea son, giving n total yield of two to four tons per acre. Although It Is relished by stock If cut early enough, It has no higher feeding value than ordinary grass hay. The feeding value of Sudan grass hay may be greatly increased by growing soy beans or ouvpeas with It. For some farmers Sudan grass would be of even more value as pas ture or as a soiling crop than for hay Feather Eating Habit Is Sometimes Hard to Cure The reason that fowls eat feathers Is the fact that they are seeking after certain classes of foods which they need hut are not getting, says Hurry Kmbleton. head of the poultry depart ment of the A. and M. college. This class of food Is represented by any form of milk, tankage, meat scraps, or alfalfa pasturage. If one or more of the above feeds are furnished them In sufficient quantities they will get over this habit. It Is sometimes hard to correct the trouble once It becomes a habit. Per slstent cases often have to ho killed. New York Life Insurance Co. affords the holder PROTECTION in more ways than one. It protects your family in the event of your death.

PATTISON, Resident Agent HEPPNER, OREGON j Lack of Cleanliness Is Cause of Calf Disorders Nearly all disorders or diseases of calves, gays the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, are caused either directly or Indirectly by lack of clean liness. Filth, whether It Is In feed, pens, bedding, or palls and utensils, is dangerous to the health of the calf. To be on the safe side use nothing but clean milk (sweet or sour), scald the palls or sterilize them with steam, remove old feed from the boxes and clean them dally. Filth and dirt are the natural breeding places of many bacteria that will cause disturbances In the young animal's stomach. Free dom from tilth usually means freedom from disease. Best to Dehorn Calves When but Few Days Old Dehorning young calves Is best done when the calf Is a few days old. Clip the hair with a pair of shears where the horn will appear. Rub tho button with caustic potash until the dead layer of the skin conies off and It Is about ready to bleed. The end of the stick of caustic potash that you apply to the horn should first he moistened and the stick held with a cloth so as not to hum the hand. If for any reason the operation has been delayed for several weeks the button can be cut off with a sharp knife and the caustic potash applied to kill It. This will kill the horn, hut It Is better to do It before the calf Is a few weeks old. Tigs Are Benefited by Allowance of Charcoal Pigs are always benefited by hav ing frequent seivss to charcoal. The following method of preparing char coal Is very satisfactory: A mass of cobs are raked together and set oil fire. When the cobs are burning briskly oats are poured over the fire until It Is all hut smothered. In a short time the oats will be well black ened. The tire should then be put out by scattering the burning cobs. The cobs may continue burning hut the fire In the oats will quickly die out. When cold the pigs should he allowed free access to the burned oats. They will greedily search out every panicle. Fall Calving Desirable on Many Dairy Farms Under most conditions on the dairy farm, says the Department of Agricul ture, fall calving Is desirsble. The calf receives milk for the first few months of Its life, and when It Is ready to be weaned from this food good succulent pasture Is available. During the win ter It has learned to eat grain and roughage while It has been getting whole milk, skim milk, or milk substi tutes, and when grass comes It can make the change without getting a set back. There Is another advantage In fall calving, us the cow gives the largest flow of milk at the season when prices are usually the highest. Also calves are at the right age so that If well developed they may be bred to calve In the fall. From the standpoint of profits on nillk. local conditions, such as cost of feed and price of milk In different seasons, should have consideration. Petal Candle Shades for Milady's Boudoir A shower of petals, lavender and pink taffeta, makes a small boudoir lamp or candle shade that would add charm to any dressing table. No wom an need long for these dainty acces sories; even If she cannot afford to purchase them from the downtown Shade for Candle or Lamp. shops, she can purchase the wire frames and make her own shades. The frames are wrapped with ribbon tape, the georgette, chiffon or taffeta petals sewed tightly at top and bottom, and the edges covered with rosebud trim ming which comes by the yard, or a gold galloon. Too Cool Tor fever. "Spring fever?" the doctor repeated the query. "Well, this year hasn't been good for It. The mornings have been too cool, and the evenings too chilly, flood spring fever weuer Is like good corn weather, It has to be warm for close to 21 hours. When that happens In May, and early June look out for people who Imagine thev lost nil the 'pep' they ever had, and If they are forty nnd over, they Indulge In de pressing contemplation of a speedy death from old age. One of the most curious things about a rnttllne good at tack of spring fever Is that the symp toms come .lust when a cbnp has a desk heaped with work that has to he done immediately. As n matter of fact, that Is the only time n fellow really wants to loaf." Detroit ,Xe:vs. . : Without Good Pasture I Hogs Are Unprofitable ' All through the summer season hogs ' should have access to pasture. Sows with pigs cannot do their best In ; small, dry enclosures, and they will i not be profitable when so confined. I "It is natural for hogs to exercise I ia liclds, root In the ground and choose their ration from the variety of plants to which they have access," says K. W. Clark of the Colorado Ag ricultural college. Man cannot furn ish a ration comparable to pasture In all other respects. A pasture !s the first thing that should be provided In pork production and pigs should have constant access to It from the time they are born until disposed of. Horses' Shoulders Need ! Bathing in Salt Water 1 Since the power of a horse Is applied through the collar. It Is of utmost Im portance that the collar should fit the neck and shoulders. Carelessness In using badly -fitting collars not only develops sores and ugly scars, but many times causes horses to become Imlky. Horses' shoulders should b '..e.thed In salt water every evening, In order to harden them. Alfalfa One of Our Best Forage Crops Succeeds in Various Soils; Withstands All Rigors. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Alfalfa is one of the leading forage crops in this country, says the United States Department of Agriculture. It is also widely distributed throughout the world, growing in various soils and meeting the rigors of both heat and cold. It requires considerable moisture, but it does best In a relative ly dry atmosphere where water is available for Irrigation. In the United States It succeeds at altitudes rang ing from below sea level in the Impe rial valley, Cal., to 8,000 feet above the sea In the mountains of Colorado. Alfalfa withstands hot weather well where the atmosphere Is dry; most of the damage is done by very cold weath er In winter and spring. It is not known to what extent cold alone does damage to the crop, but It Is known that low temperatures combined with other winter conditions cause a high mortality among the plants. Alternate freezing and thawing on poorly drained soils often does much damage by heav ing the plants out of the ground and breaking the roots. Deep loams with open subsoils are best, but where other conditions are favorable the crop has a very wide range of adaptation. It does not thrive on a soil that has an Impervious sub soil, hardpnn, or bedrock near the sur face. However, it has been known to do well on soils with limestone ledges 18 Inches below the surface. Good sur face and underdrainage are necessary. During the growing season complete submergence for 24 to 48 hours may do much Injury, but when the plants are dormant they may remain under water several days without danger. The crop seldom succeeds where the water table comes close to the surface, especially if it fluctuates considerably. Discuss Insect Pests of United States and Canada As a result of an international con ference on Insects of Importance both to the northwestern states and the prairie provinces of Canada, which was held at Winnipeg, Manitoba, recently, plans were perfected for conducting experimental work in the control of these Insects. The experiments are to be carried on In such a way as to render the results comparable In all tha districts involved. A base map of all the International territory affected has been prepared for the purpose of plotting the occurrence of the principal Insect pests of common importance to Canada and the United States. The principal pests discussed were grasshoppers, the western wheat-stem suwtly, the pale western cutworm, and the Hessian fly in Canada. The bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture was repre sented, and other American entomol ogists were present. The meeting was addressed by Deputy Minister of Ag riculture Davis, of Manitoba, and also by the acting president of the agricul tural college. Chickens and Eggs Sold Make Family Comfortable Comfort and financial security were attained last year by a Colorado wom an through her poultry keeping, al though the main crop was almost a failure. The wheat crop was only 90 bushels and the barley 30, besides a small amount of corn to be fed to the live stock. A report received by the United States Department of Agricul ture states that after culling her flock and selling the culls for $10(5 this woman bought lumber to enlarge the poultry house so as to have more space for the pullets retained. The eggs nnd chickens sold brought $507.20, which was sufficient to pay the annual taxes, to pay the interest on money borrowed for the farm, build the poultry house, add a new room to their tar-paper house, and finish the Inside of two rooms. This enabled the family to have a cozy, warm, three-room house, which was much more comfortable than the one room and lean-to kitchen they had had before. Taming of Guineas Must Be Started Right Away Ouineas can be tamed If their train ing begins Immediately alter hatch ing. If you want them tame It Is best to hatch them under common hens and keep them confined while small, teaching them to roost In the hen houses. In this way they will be quite tame, though they will probably never care to be handled. Some like to have them wild. In that case they may be hatched by the guinea bens, though an a farm, If there are enemies about and they are allowed to roam, Ihey may be killed. (Guineas are noisy, but they have a place on the farm. Demand for them Is growing in Eastern markets. They are most excellent eating, some find ing them similar to prairie chickens. They are fair layers. The eg;s are richer than liens' eggs and are said to keep longer. High Value of Feeding Eggs to Little Chicks Poultrymen occasionally doubt the value of feeding eggs to baby chicks. Experiments conducted at the Uni versity of Wisconsin show that the ad dition of a small amount of eggs to the ration for baby chicks will give surprisingly good results. MAKE O. A. C.
