Kindness and Cleanliness Two Chief Points to Observe In Caring for Dairy Stock — Cow and Young Calf Should Be Separated In Not Over Three Days. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) CO-OPERATIVE experiments have been conducted in agri- culture throughout Ontario annually since 1886. Previous to the war the number of farmers conducting these experiments reach, - ed over 5,000, and in 1918 (the last year of the war) the number was slightly over 3,600. Some of the leading varieties of crops now grown in general cultivation throughout Ontario were introduced through tete medium of the co-operative work, such, for instance, as the 0.A.C. No. 23, barley, Marquis spring wheat, 72 . .0 No, oats,3 O AO.A No. .0 oats, Dawson's Golden Chaff winter wheat, O.A.C. No. 61 spring rye, Canadian Beauty pease, O.A.C. Ko. 81 Soy beaus, Rye buckwheat, Golden Ratans sweet corn, Early Amber su- gar cane, Dwarf Essex rape, Irish Cobbler potatoes, Yellow Leviathan mangels, Grimm and Ontario Varie- gated alfalfa, etc. The co-operative experiments en- able practical farmers to obtain ire. formatialt regarding varieties of Reid craps, mixtures or grain for grain and for fodder production, ways in increasing soil fertility, etc., for their own particular farms which they can- not possibly get in any other way. They furnish hundreds and even thousands of object lessons annually, which form centres of interesting study along the lines of progressive agriculture. They enable farmers to get a. supply of pure seed of the leading varieties of field crops which rapidly increase in quantity and which furnish seed for sowing and planting in large areas and for sell- ing at good prices. The wbole work leads to a substantial increase in farm profits and to a steady advance in agricultural education throughout Ontario. The plan of the co-operative work for 1919 is printed in circular form and has already been sent to all the successful co-operative experimenters of the past few years. Other lnter- ested farmers could secure a copy of the circular by applying to the Depart- ment of Field Husbandry, Agricul- tural College, Guelph, Ontarlo.—Dr. C, A. Zavitz, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Care of Cow and Young Calf, Kindness and cleanliness are the two chief ,points to observe in caring for dairy stock. About a week before the young calf is expected, the cow should be placed in a clean, well -bedded, com- fortable box -stall. The practice of compelling cows to give birth to their calves, tied in the row, is cruelty for the cows, dangerous for the calf, and bad for the' whole held. Privacy and quietness should be the rule at this time. The cow should be allowed to lick the calf dry, and should be kept tied until the after -birth is removed. The two may be left together for one to three days. Some remove the calf at once, but it it is to be reared, it should be left with the dam for a short time, in order to give the young animal a good start. Leaving row and calf together for a :lay or two also tends to remove inflammation from tete udder of the cow. If .necessary the cow's udder should be bathed with warm water or some `erw of liniment such as camphor- ate] oil, or equal parts of turpentine tnr1 vinegar and an egg in one quart it' the mixture. lit case the cow an: calf are all •lata, they utay be s. r Crated in not ;'ver three days, and the cow be re- ur ncd to her regular stall. The calf :iaay be allowed to remain in the box- * •11, if not needed for another cow, be placed in the nursery along 'ith other calves, as this will cause to forget its "mammy" more quick- ie it should receive its mother's .ilk for a week, whole milk for two r three weeks, then skim milk and slier suitable feeds for six months, :d be kept dry and clean at all inns. --Prof. H.

Cattiiflower, Caerrots, Turnip,, celery Hurl Tomatoes Particularly affect- ed—How the Disease spreads— Its Symptoms and Remedy -- Great Care Necessary During Harvest and Storing. (Contributed by Ontario Department er Agriculture, Toronto.) BACTF1iIAL soft rot is a dis- ease liable to attack flesh)* vegetables and bowers, parti- eularly carrots, cauliflower, turnips, celery, tomatoes,, iris and cola lily, and in a lesser degree onions, asparagus, salsify, sugar bcet and mangel. Occasionally the dee ease results in heavy losses to the grower of these crops. General Appearance of the Disease. As the natue signifies, the disease results in a soft, wet rot of the plant attacked. The rotted portion of the Want is darker in color than tke rest of the plant. The color of the dis- eased part p v arles trona a light, red- dieh or greenish brown to a very dark brown. Cause of the Disease, The disease is due to the action of a certain species of bacillus known generally as the vegetable soft rot bacillus. This is a very minute or- ganisnr about 1-10,00U of en incs. long and 1-:50,000 of an inch thick. but when it gets into the vegetable tissue through a wound made by the hoe or cultivator or ins=ect bite, It feeds on the plant juice and multi- plies rapidly and as it develops it produces an enzyme, which digests or softens the firm tissue, bre-silt/it-; it down into a soft, pulpy, strong - smelling mass, which is easily de- tected. In this soft -rotted tissue the bacilli will be present in millions. In cauliflower the disease is found more often in the flower than in the leaves or stem; the latter parts, how- ever, are also subject to attack. In turnip, the disease most fre- quently enters at or near the crown, through caterpillar or slug attack, or through injuries received during hoe- ing or cultivation. It softens or rots the leaf petioles at their base, caus- ing them to fall over, and spread: slowly in dry weather, rapidly in wet weather, through the tissue of the root, inducing a brown -colored soft cot, with strong odor. In carrot the disease enters and develops in much the same way as described for the turnip. It is more apt to spread rapidly through a crop that is thickly sown and not well thinned out, the shade produced by the heavy tops making ideal con- ditions by keeping the ground moist: for the development of the disease when once it gains entrance, and har- boring slugs and caterpillars that spread the disease. Carrots which crack beneath the ground are liable to be attacked by the disease, the soft rot bacillus gaining entrance to the tissues through the cracked surface, In celery the disease is not very common, but when present is most often found starting at or near the tops of the young growth. In tomatoes the bacterial soft rot is very common during wet seasons. It is found most frequently in the fruits that are in contact with the soil alter they have commenced to ripen. The bacillus will not readily penetrate through the unbroken skin of the tomato. But when a tomato is resting on the damp earth, that part of the skin in contact with the soil is frequently weakened, thus pro viding a means of access to the ba- cillus. This, however, is not the only means whereby the disease enters the fruit. Slugs are very partial to toma- toes just ripening. In -their attack on the fruit they eat through the skin, leaving the interior flesh ex- posed. This exposed surface is an ideat_mgdium for the 1)ncillee of soft rot to develop in. The writer has found many tomatoes, particularly in wet seasons, when slugs are plenti- ful, that have contracted the disease in this way. Eradication and Control of Disease. Spraying with fungicides, which is so effective in controlling the fung- ous diseases of plants, is of no avail with bacterial diseases, as the bac- teria which cause the disease a,ct in the interior ,tissue rather than on the surface; hence the spray will not reach them. Spraying with insecticides Is help- ful indirectly, as it tends to keep in check the insects, slugs, cater- pillars, etc., which are one of the most common means" of spreading bacterial diseases from one plant to another. As a rule, the best method to adopt in dealing with a plant infected with bacterial disease is to carefully re- move and burn it. Insects, garden tools, etc., coming, in contact with it will spread the disease to the plants with which they come in con- tact slater. Therefore, In order to prevent bosses from bacterial sott rot of planta, remove and burn atfeeted plants; or parts of plants, as soon as observed; be careful during cultiva- tion not to wound plants, and keep caterpillars, slugs and biting insects in check. Affected plants shoed(' newer be put on the compost heap or manure pile. Harvesting mod. Storing. When harvesting and storing tut= nips, cauliflower; cabbage, celery, tomatoes, or other vegetables from crops in which the `'disease has lieeil present, great care should be taken not to include' any specimen that ;shows the . slightest appearance of the disease, or to smear the healthy specimen with -the soft, rotted parte of diseased specimens. If these pre e'autions.are neglected,` the disease is' slia'hle .te :establish itself and spread more or less rapidly through the en- tire crop stared. -.--D. H. Jones, B.S.A.
