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.

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.

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.
