A Pest !
The European Corn Borer
Great damage to corn crops in certain sections
of Ontario has been caused in recent years by the
European Corn Borer. To check this pest, follow
closely recommendations of the Department.

t i- =� The moth appears about the
,• V 4 <• rniddle of June and lasts until
about the last week in July.
Egg Laying
In this period the female
lays its eggs on the undersides
4 of the corn leaves, preferably
on the most advanced corn.
The Borer
The damage is done by the
borer stage. The "worm" devel-
ops from the egg, eating into
the stalks and ears. It winters
in the stubble or stalks.
The Pupa
The worm changes to the
pupa, which in turn develops
into the moth about the second
week of June or later.

CARE FOR THE BINDER
Proper Attention ,Is Both Neces-
sary and Profitable..
See That the Reel is Properly Ad
lusted --Study the Length of the
Grafin--KKep a Watch on the
Knotter Don't. Forget the Oiling.
(Contrlbutedby Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
The grain. binder or modern har-
vester is a complicated machine with
many moving parts, requiring care-
ful adjustment and constant care if
it is to give the best service and last.
Perfect sheaf or bundle making be-
gins with the delivery of the standing
grain to the knife and platform, in
this the reel plays an important part;
if properly adjusted for height and
distance forward, the grain will fail
evenly and will be carried in like con-
dition to the packers and binding at-
tachment. With the reel improperly
adjusted, the grain Ina' fall forward
or it may 'be scattered on the plat-
form. Once scattered, It is inipas•
sible for the conveyors or packers to
straighten it out, to the degree neces-
sary for perfect sheaves, Careful
watch should, therefore, be kept on
the reef and adjustment made while
the machine is in motion to meet the
conditions caused by leek of uniform-
ity in. the crop. The grain past;ieg
from the conveyors or elevator is
next adjusted by the butting attach-
ment and the packers.
Meeting the Needs of Long or Shorts
Grain.
The binder table or the butting at-
tachment can be shifted to meet the
needs of long or short grain, and the
binder operator must lyre alive to the
making of the necessary adjustments
or the bundles will not be of a desir-
able shape and tightness. The"'bied-
ing attachment with its twine run
needle and knotter will give highly
efficient service if given reasonable
attention by way of oiling and proper
adjustment. The binding attachment
parts rust very easily during periods
of idleness, so liberal applications c>'
a heavy mineral oil or grease to all
parts not protected by paint will save
the machine, will save time, labor:,
and temper. Rust can be removed
by sandpaper, but harvesting ma-
chines were never intended for such.
treatment. The wooden slats that
form an important part of the can-
vas conveyors will sometimes tear
loose. This is caused by the frame
and rollers not being in proper align-
ment or square. This difficulty is
overcome by adjusting the cross
braces of the frame uutil`'it is square
and the rollers in alignment,
The Transmission of Power.
The power for operating the vari-
ous parts of the grain binder ie tran-
smitted by chain and sprocket, the
various units being provided with
tighteners. If the various chains are
not run at proper tension, trouble
will follow. If too tight the links
will break, or the draft will be heavy.
If too loose the machine willbe
driven with a jerky motion, If the
chains are just slack enough so such
can not be taken off by hand when
the machine is not running, they will
usually be satisfactory when in mo-
tion. Chain links and sprockets
should be well oiled at all points of
contact. Missing sheaves or failure
to tie the bundle is a it 'ter ton trou-
ble, usually due to the operator's
failure to make the adjustments
necessary to give full efficiency to the
Lying mechanism. If the needle fails
to carry the twine far enough over
that it may be grasped by the twine
,,;c, a knot will not be tied, since but
v-,; end is held, This condition is
g.iyeraliy easily recognized by the
twine being knotted in a loop at one
end, the other end being free. When
the twine disc is held too tight by the
clamp and spring, it will in turn hold
tae twine so tight as to pinch it off
and cause a- failure to tie. This con-
dition is generally indicated by one
end of the band being frayed. The
loosening of the spring that holds the
twine disc will remedy this fault. If
the twine disc is loosened too much,
the knot can not be tied; this condi-
tion is generally indicated by both
ends of the twine band being frayed.
Keep a Careful Eye on the Knotter.

"Snuffles" ---. Caused • Largely by
Unfavorable Conditions—Preven-
tion and Treatment—Get Rid of
Chronic Runts.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Toronto
The occurrence of this disease ill
young animals seems to be largely
caused by unfavorable conditions of
life, inducing impaired nutrition of
the body. In particular there appears
to be a lack of bone development, due
to a deficiency of lime salts and other
bone -forming ei__,.nts in the body.
Lack of exercise„and close confine-
ment in damp quarters are predispos-
ing influences and are a cause of the
disease occ.:se n:.-ty in foals and
calves.
In pigs the disease occurs general-
ly soon after weani>ag time and par-
ticularly in litters born during the
late fall and winter months. At this
time, improper feeding of the young
pigs associated with exposure to in-
clement weather and close confine-
ment in cold damp quarters combine
in accentuating the tendency towards
faulty nutrition and ill -health, which
are forerunners of Rickets. The
feeding of young pigs excessively on
corn and also keeping them exclu-
sively on a sloppy diet of buttermilk
is at times responsible. In some
cases there appears to be an inherited
tendency in litters, due possibly to
errors in the management and feed-
ing of the sow while pregnant, and
after farrowing.
Symptoms.
In the case of calves and colts be -
owning affected with Rickets, they
appear unthrifty and develop imper-
factly. The bones of the legs become
softened so that they gradually fiend
and become distorted, causing the .
animal to be bow-legged and enlarg-
ed at the joints, and otherwise un-
sightly`ahaped. They are prone to lie
down a great deal of the time, and
in walking they move stiffly.
backbone also becomes crooked in
some cases. Young'pigs frequently
become affected and, at first, appear
to thrive ,poorly and have an abnor-
mal appetite. This causes in them
a craving for dirt and to keep picking
up and chewing pieces of stick and
bones. They- soon begin to develop
abnormally and disproportionately,
while remaining stunted in growth.
They become pot bellied and the head
enlarges, giving it a bulging appear-
ance, with the snout deformed, hence
the name "Bullnose” being used.
They may also breathe with a snuf-
fling sound, while the head remains
large. The skin often becomes thick-
ened and cracked and gets discolored
with dirt, giving a black sooty
appearance to white pigs. Sooner or
later, the bones of the legs begin to
bend and they become deformed. This
causes the legs to becorie badly bow-
ed and makes them walk very stiff
and awkward. Tlie joints become en-
larged and the pigs lie down a great
deal of the time and, on rising, they
keep resting on their knees. The
lower ends of the ribs also becueue
enlarged and seem to bend inwa.res
under the body, At times many of
the rickety pigs become trouuled
with piles and prolapse of the rec-
tum, causing it to protrude as -a red
tumor -like mass behind. Finally they
become miserably wasted and thin
and remain worthless stunted mor-
tals of no value.
Prevention and Treatment.
Another cause or failure to tie is
often found. in -the knotter spring
which holds: the finger downupon the
knotter hook being so loose as nrt td
bold the ends of the twine while the
knot is pulled .over the billhook, re-
sulting in -a band with clean cut ends
but no knot, the adjustment through
wear or lack of adjustment through,
shaking loose of the bolt„holding the
twine cutting knife, causing the sev-
ering -of the twine before the knotter
finger or billhook has closed over it.
A bent rusty needle or shaft, or
needle, billhook, twine disc, or twine
runs . will. cause no end of trouble
early in the harvest , through loose,
untied or missed sheaves.
Pay evettention to Oiling.
Oiling the grain binder takes con-
siderable time with fifty or more oil
holes to keep clear and supplied with
.o11. There are bearing surfaces other
than oil holes that must receive at-
tention also, such as the reel
standard, various chains and
sprockets, sliding parts of the bind-
ing attachment and the bundle car-
rier. All bearings subject to heavy
friction and speed should be oiled
every hourif the binder ie to last as
long as a binder should.Every bears
lag should receive lubrication at
least .twice ,a''day no matter how lit-

FRED LLLERINGTON
To prevent the ,occurrence of
Rickets, one of the chief essentials
is maintaining a proper mode of liv-
ing for the mower while pregnant
and for the young during early life.
This entails rational dieting accord-
ing to their needs, combined with
comfortable living quarters and w
reasonable amount of regular exer-
cise and outdoor fife in tine weather.
In the case of colts being raised arti-
ficially on cows' milk, it should be
diluted with about one-third water
and sweetened with alittle sugar. In
the case of pigs they must recei,
suitable diet after being weaned.
They should nol be fed exclusively
on dry corn, nor on chopped oats
composed largely of the hulls, nog
entirely on buttermilk. In winter,
young pigs should be given a clean,
dry, warm, place to sleep in and the
bedding should be changed daily.
This is particularly essential in the
case of late fall and winter titters.
The diet should. be suitably balanced
and consist of a mixture of ground
oats free from hulls, corn meal,
ground barley and shorts with a lit-
tle salt, chalk ,and charcoal added
from time to time. The feed should
be given mixed with milk or water as
a thick slop. A. little ground oil cake
or bene meal and skim milk is also
good. As the pigs increase in size
the diet can be gradually' changed.
They should be allowed plenty of
range and pasture In summer. When
young pigs are noticed showing a
tendency of developing Rickets, the
progress of the disease can often be
arrested and a complete recovery ob-
tained, if taken in time, by changing
and 'supplementing their diet with
tonics, The diet shouldbe arranged
as already described, with the addi-
tion of some digester—tankage and
bone meal. To thedrink can be add-
ed lime water and to the feed a
tonic composed of sulphate of iron
one part, bicarbonateof ;soda and
charcoal four parts: ...mese ingredi-
ents are mixed thoroughly together
and a spoonful, of the mixture. added
to the feed allowance o1 each fig
• once or twice a day. In cases of
pronounced Rickets....in pigs, where
"they become chronic runts, they are
not worth treating and should be got
rid of. C.,,D,, ;i eceilvray, Principal,
