Combat Cabbage Diseases.
Would you spend a nickel. to save
five acres of cabbage? If you would,
treat your seed next year, for less
than five cents worth of poison will
suffice to treat a pound of seed, which
will grow cabbage plants enough to
plant five acres of cabbage.
The poison to use in this treatment
is corrosive sublimate, sols: by drug-
gists as bichloride of mercury tablets.
Dissolve the poison in the proportion
of one part to one thousand, or one
gram of poison to one quart of water.
The seed should be soaked in this
`Tuition for twenty minutes.
t 1 his solution should be made up in
a stone jar or wooden pail, because it
corrodes metals. Immediately after
the seed has been treated, spread it
on a clean cloth in a .warm room to
—dry quickly. When thoroughly dry,
return the seed to a clean sack, not!
the one that the seed was in before,
for it still contains the spores of the
t. diseases which were killed on the seed.
It is a good idea to use sacks which
were dipped in the solution.
Disinfecting the seed will do no
good if it is planted in an infected
soil. A field which has had infected
cabbage on it the year before will still
contain the disease -producing germs,
which will reinfect even healthy
plants. Therefore a clean seedbed is
as essential as a clean lot of seed.
Save the' Wheat.
The arch enemies of stored grain
are dampness and rodent pests—rats
and mice. An elevator with a leaky,
roof is only a little worse than onel
allowing free entry to rats and mice.l
The present price of wheat makes a
telling appeal for ratproof construc-
tion of wheat containers. Now is the
time to fill rat holes with cement or
cover them with' sheet iron and to
build new mouseproof granaries of
either concrete or galvanized sheet
iron.
Where rats and mice have plenty
of :food and are unmolested they mul-
tiply overwhelmingly. For example,
in Australia during the -war sacks of
wheat stacked in high piles awaiting.
shipment became infested with mice,
which riddled the sacks and destroyed!
a large part of the contents before
preventive steps were taken. Under
similar circumstances a like result'
would inevitably occur in this country. i
Where it is impracticable to provide'
tight containers for stored products
steps should be taken immediately to.
trap or poison rats and mice in the
neral. vicinity of storage buildings,
should be continued t:a the last
bushel is disposed of.
Technically speaking, a hair's
breadth is seventeen ten -thousands of

How Does Your Cream Test?
Does your test ever vary ' And
what do you generally say when the
variance isn't in your favor? Pro-
bably you lay the blame on the op -
crater at the receiving station. Now,
don't you—sometimes, anyway.? Oh,
I know how it is. I' used to sell
cream, and now I am operating a sta-
tion,
I'll admit that the operator is some-
times to blame—but I'll explain some
of his faults later. Butterfat is a very
difficult farm product to deal in—that
is, always to satisfy/the customer. All,
operators know that; and nine to one,
when your test drops off, he is tempt-,
ed to raise it, hoping that you will
have a better test next time. But the
law doesn't stand for that.—
So, what are we operators to do
then? I wish you dairymen—tevery-i
one of you—would install a Babcock
testing outfit. Then you would soon
learn, by observation and experience,
why your test often varies.
There are a dozen and one causes
for your cream to vary in its test.. We
will assume that you have never
touched the regulation screw, chang-
ed feed, nor has the engine failed to
turn the 'separator at . =the proper
speed.. Moreover, we will take it for
granted that you have kept the fresh
cream thoroughly mixed with the
sour.
Then, why does your test fall short?
Well, the condition of your cows may
have something to do with it. A eow
doesn't give quite as rich milk when
she isn't feeling very good. Cows
have their off days. Then, too, a rainy
spell will lower your test. Even if
you are feeding the same feed, that
doesn't prove it is always of the same
quality.
Another thing: Don't allow your
cream to become 'so thick in the winter
•months. It is impossible to mix thick
cream thoroughly enough to give a
fair test. The milk will naturally set-
tle to the bottom of the container.
Subsequently the thick cream on top
will, in spots, become hardened and
lumpy. A thorough mixing is out of
the question. So loosen the regulation
screw, whatever you do. It's better
to have a lower but a fair test. Fur-
thermore, cream that will test 55 per
cent. butterfat leaves at least 1 per
cent. of the butterfat in the skimmed
mills, Therefore, cream testing from
35 to 40 per cent. will in the end net
you more money.
Now to the operator: Sometimes,
especially when you rush him through
with your test, he might get a little
careless about the proper temperature.
So don't try to hurry your operator
through with your cream. Also rem-
ember that Saturday is a bad day to
bring cream to market, for that is one
of the operator's busiest days. Quite.
a few of my customers are avoid -trig
the Saturday rush by bringing me
their cream on Friday.
Another thing about the xnshed-
through test on a busy day is that the
acid used to eat the whey from the
butterfat takes effect at once. Con-
sequently, in making at least four
tests at once, the operator has to do
some moving about to get the test
bottles into the tester. It only requires
five minutes for the acid to eat up
the Nyhey, and the tester is supposed
to be in motion all that time. If one
of those minutes passes before the
tester gets in motion, part of your
butterfat is eaten up by the acid, be-
cause the motion ofthe tester gathers
the butterfat on top in the test bottle.
Then, oo, if the hurried operator hap-
pens to get the tester filled above the
neck with water at the first turn,
some of the butterfat is prevented
from coming to the top. Subsequent-
ly the acid gets it.
Health and the Poultry House. .'
A few days ago I was talking with
a neighbor who had been having some
trouble with roup in his flock of
chickens. • Some of the hens that he
had been depending on as being his
heaviest egg producers had died, and
the disease seemed to be spreading
rapidly. The fowls had free range
about the farm, and from all outward
appearances there seemed to be. no-
thing that could bring about the dis-
ease. The farm has a thrifty appear-
ance, and it is kept neat and attrac-
tive. I am sure that the roup did not
arise from unclean ,.poultry quarters,
a condition that frequently brings it
about, and that on this particular
farm the' trouble had its beginning
in the poultry house. This building
was a substantial one, and like' all of
the other buildings on the place it was
well painted and kept in good repair,
but it contains but one window and is
too small for the present flock. In
theefall this window is closed, and' as
a rule is not opened again until spring.
The location of the house, too, is not
the best, for it is near a slight de-
pression where during wet weather
water collects. The house is usually
moigt inside; this is especially notice-
able when the chickens are at roost.
If the owner would move cube
v house
out of the depression and place it on
a nearby knoll or raised place, re-
duce the size of his flock by taking
out some of the most undesirable birds
before all the good ones rite, and,
above all, if he would cut a large
whitlow or two on the south side, he
would have no more trouble with ecu
and the general condition of the floc
would improve. The chickens that a
now dying would live to make a firof
it plenty of sunlight were allowed t
enter the house and it were properl
ventilated.
In selecting a site for a poult
house it is all important to 'select a
elevation. It need not- be high, bu
simply far enough above the level s
that there is natural drainage fro
all sides. If the present house doe
not occupy such a place it will pa
to have it moved, for theye, is a?way
danger, in a house on a damp loci
tion, of an outbreak of disease tha
will be far more of a loss than woul
be the expense of moving. A bulletin
located on a porous, sandy soil is to b
preferred to one on a clay soil tha
readily retains moisture. As drynos
sunlight, and, in winter, warnith,'ar
essential to the best success; the hous
should face the ' south so the sun'
rays can shine through the window
The' interior of the house should be
as simple as possible, with only the
necessary conveniences. The more
simple it is the easier it will be to
keep it clean, and the more space
there will be for the chickens. Roost-
ing platforms ere becoming'very
popular, and they are very conven-
ient, especially where only a few fowls
are kept. The platform should be
placed in the rear of the house, about
three feet from the floor, and the•
perches placed eight or ten inches
above it. A good place for nests is
along the opposite wall from the door
or under the platform, where they
may be darkened somewhat. Several
small boxes for sand, grit, beef
scrap, etc., placed about the side
walls, a few inches from the floor,
and a watering vessel should complete
the interior equipment.
This arrangement will leave th
front and south wall clear so that
number of windows can be put in
There are few poultry houses tha
have enough southern window space

The "Weevil Signs."
Many a bushel of beans or peas is
destroyed every year by the depre-
dations of weevils. Th4s is not al-
together the result of carelessness on
the farmer's part, as much as it is
ignorance of- how to deal with these
pests. One should know how to "read
the signs" in a sample of beans if he
would prevent damage from these in-
sects later in the season. Often in
the late winter or early in the• spring
an examination of the beans will skew
thein to be alive with weevil and full
of large holes. This condition could
have been prevented had the farmer
known, in the late summer or early
fall, how to read the "weevil signs."
Many a person would have sworn
that the beans that he put away so
carefully in a sack in the fall were
perfectly healthy and free from both
bugs and disease. But upon looking
at them early in the spring there.was
hardly a one of. them but what had
holes in it. The weevil odor and count-
less numbers of insects accompanied
this condition. Where did the iriseats
get into the seed? The answer is not
hard to find. Attached to the beans
and unnoticed to the practiced eye
were some tiny white eggs that soon
hatched Into tiny worms that grew
and developed into these pests. The
holes in the beans were made by the
growing worms which develop inside
of the seed.
The weevil lays its tiny eggs on the
maturing Bods of beans and peas
where they appear as small white
specks. Upon examination these rip-
ening pods will show whether or not
there are any weevil present. If many
eggs are found to be present the farm-
er must plan on some means of de-
stroying these pests when the beans
are harvested and put in storage.
Shortly after the weevils lay their
eggs on the pods in the field, the
young worms hatch and begin burrow-
ing through the' pod into the bean,
leaving the egg -shell on •the'1od. So
the first indication of the. presence of
weevils are the tiny holes in- the new
crop, When the eggs are laid on the
beans instorage, the shells stick to
the bean end are easily seen. If the
grower. will learn to look carefully
for both the tiny entrance holes and
the shells he will soon have little dif-
ficulty in detecting the weevil infesta-
tion and will know how to deal ac-
cordingly. Of course, these entrance
holes are so small that a person with
poor eyes or onenot looking g for
weevil signs would pass them un-
noticed.
If weevils* beans or peas are lts,.ced
in storage w'ihout the weevil having.
been killed, the eggs will hatch, er".tei•
a time, into tiny grubs that soon
develop into the adult weevils These
"Cross my heart, hope I may diel' r
Sallie May promised.
"Well, then, the first part of the
secret is, I don't!"
"You don't! Why you always
look "
"And the second part is," Pen pur-
sued, "I hypnotize people."
"Hypnotize them!"
"Exactly. Myself first of all, Ii

shoes that I can't have, but I keep re-
minding myself how becoming my hat
is. And I hold my head with such an
`. air that people all have to look at that
hat -CO see what makes me so puffed
j up about it. And so they forget to
look at my shoes. Conversely, if shoes
E are my strong point, I subtly draw
their attention from my face to my 1
fortunate and highly decorative feet."'
"I might have known you were teas
ing," Sallie May protested. "Yet," `
she added thoughtfully, "I don't know'
but what there's something in it, after
all."
"There's heaps in it," Pen assured;
her. "Especially if you keep your j
own thoughts well hypnotized first of
all, Try it, Sallie May."

i"he greatest handicap in the cana-
mereial poultry business is the fact
that the mariret price . hi ogee is de-
termined by the thousands of Rocks of
mongrel hens' which ere running on
the farms and produchne eggs without
the owners knowing anything of the
cost of production. The bright spot
the poultry business is the fact that
the farmer poultryman can heat the
reroz'd of these mongrel flocks, which
are often poor Iayers, by improving
his stock and -raising • quality birds
and then striving to keep them well
fed on the hoiue•;'rown feeds and
waste products which has enabled the
lain hock to ttnn out eggs at a fairly
;small cost of production .-compared
with the commercial poultryman.
There is no reason why the pure-
bred Hoek of bred -to -lay fowls should
not be maintained as cheaply as a
flock of mongrels. The difference in
the returns to the owner is worth
considering. A farmer can grow a
crop of potatoes, raspberries, tree
fruits -or corn on every acre of range
used by his poultry. All the waste
products of the farm can he used to
produce eggs. The gravel• pit will
furnish the grit for the hoppers in
the poultry house. The necessary
green food can all he raised in the
garden and in the clover field. The
ay o the well managed farm flock
has arrived as people are beginning to
appreciate the value of fresh eggs as
never before. Meat is scarce and high
ggs pro ably follow the
trend of meat prices. There is a good,
future for well managed poultry flocks
in the hands of practical farmers, but
the man who buys all his feed and
sells eggs and poultry meat at market
prices is not apt to stay with the
business under present conditions, if
he figures closely the cost of produc-
tion of eggs and meat,

Before the fall litters come on and
fall feeding begins is an excellent
time to start preventive measures
against hog cholera. Here again the
old adage that "an ounce of preven-
tion is worth a pound of cure" is
doubly true. Sanitary measures be-
fore the hog is put in the house will
largely prevent epidemics of disease
Other diseases than cholera are
often caused by unclean conditions in
the hog house and pen. Some of these
are sore mouth, bull nose, necrosis of
the ears and tails, and the swine
plague, or contagious pneumonia,
which often develop in suckling or
weanling pigs.
A few hours spent cleaning out old
Utter and manure may save you 0
good many pigs later on. A reliable
disinfectant should be applied to the
walls of the houses, troughs, fences
and any other place where germs
Might be lurking. Creolirl'• is efficient
for this purpose, and lime is good. Do
not be afraid to apply plenty of the
disinfectant, and see that all the
corners, especially, are well treated.
The same sterilizing process is used
by many successful feeders in the
feeding racks which they use for their
sheep and cattle. Many times there
are disease germs lurking around that
cause serious losses which might have
been prevented if proper sanitary
measures had been taken.

be what men have done or neglected to •

The Bible unmistakably teaches sal-
vation by faith, but it is a faith that
works. See James 2: 14-18 and 2
Cor. 5: 10. True faith finds expres-
sion in all good works, and it is thus
that faith is tested. The judgment of
God, we may be very—sure, will take
account of what men do in their re-
lations with each other, and no pro-
fession of faith will ever be complete
in itself without the doing, or the will
to do, deeds of mercy and kindness.,

shoes. The inner side of the shoe,
instead of being straight, as it should
be, bends toward the centre, and so
forms a sharp point that is supposed
to give beauty. The shoe may be
regarded as beautiful, but the foot in-
cased in the shoe is in process of
becoming deformed.
The deflection of the great toe is
not necessarily painful, but it results
usually in. the formation of an en-
larged joint and a bunion, and also
displaces the second toe, which rides
over the great toe or bends into the
shape of the hammertoe. The bending
makes three prominences—the tip of
the toe, the ball of the toe, and the
top of the middle joint—which are
exposed to friction of the sole and the
Upper of the shoe, and become the
seat of corns; t'lie middle prominence
is also sometimes afflicted with a bun-
ion beneath the corn.
The treatment of hammertoe is not
usually satisfactory, for by the time
the physician is consulted the flexed
joint is usually stiff. If it Is still
movable, a cure may effected by
strapping the toe down to a splint
made of a thin, flat piece of wood or
gutta-percha or padded tin. That, of
course, can be done only when the big
toe, if that is the cause of the trouble,
has Been straightened acid the patient
has been persuaded to wear a proper
shoe. Usually, 1y, however, the only
thing that brings complete relief is to
amputate the offending toe, Another
operation that has been proposed with
a'view to saving some of the too con-
sists in excising the middle joint and
in uniting the severed ends of the two
bones to make a short hot stiff toe.
"After all," a• s one great man has'
said, "immortality is a dreary pros-,
poet if our Father is not in it." W.
Adams Brown (The Christian Hope)
says truly, "If we wish to make faith •
in another life credible we must fill j
this life with value. And the one sure
way to do'this is to discover with Dr.
Rainy that "our Father is in it"—the l
Father whose loving purpose for us
and for all mankind Jesus has reveal-
ed, and in whose eervice, which is at
the same time the service of our fel-
lowmen, we find our freedom and our
peace."
An Incorruptible Inheritance. 1
Peter 1: 3-5. The apostle gives thanks
to God for the "living hope" to which
we have been brought through our
faith in Christ, a hope based upon''the
resurrection of Christ from the dead.
1 Because He is risen we believe that
we, too, shall rise again. Because He
has entered into the glory of the life
eternal we also shall enter and live
with Him. Richer than any earthly
inheritance is this inheritance in
heaven, "incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away." For this
we wait in steadfast hope, and "by the
power of God' are guarded through
faith." The full significance of it is
not yet revealed, but it will be re-
vealed "in the last time."
KipEing's Typewriter.
There are authors who cannot com-
pose on the typewriter, but apparently
Rudyard Kipling is not among thein.
He wrote this enthusiastic letter to
the manufacturer of his American
machine not long ago:
"It's a dandy. My greatest joy in
life is to rise early and oil it. I can
do poems on this Machine without the
trouble of thought. 1 just start some-
thing at the first line, pull open the
throttle valve and go out for a walk
rennet ltotttngdean. When I come hack
I find a poem of any desired length
completed, and the machine flushed
and happy, waiting modestly for my
applause."
