GOOD WORKING IDEA
FOR SPRAYING POTATOES
Extract from Bulletin of Wisconsin Agricultural Station

FORM DAIRY HERD PROPER WAY OF DEHORNING
Provide five .50-gallon barr ©In, (wo
galvanized ten quart pails for mixing
am' dipping. One hundred and fifty
pounda of blue vitriol, two hundred
[pounds of fresh lime and fl\o cents'
(worth of potassium ferro-cyanlde cry-
stals.
The two hundred pounds of fresh
Jlirae will bo sufficient for the season
and should be bought in small lots
at the time of spraying. The first ap-
plication will require forty pounds of
olue vitriol and fifty pounds of fresh
lime.
Suspend the blue vitriol in one half
barrel of water (twenty-ftvo gallons)
•the evening before spraying. Hang
the blue vitriol well up from the bot-
tom of the barrel and use when pos-
sible only wooden or copper vessels
in handling the solution. Iron and tin
•will bo eaten through by the free acid
in the blue vitriol solution. It is well
•to rinse all metal vessels containing
iblue vitriol solution with lime water
after using.
Blake fifty pounds of fresh lime in
a barrel the evening before spraying.
Then in the morning the stock solu-
tion of both lime and vitriol will be
ready for mixing.
Place one-fifth of the blue vitriol
stock solution, prepared as above, in
rone empty barrel and fill with water.
Place one-fifth of the ilme in another
(empty barrel and fill with water. Stir

the mixture needs more lime. The
potassium ferro-cyanide can be pur-
chased from any drug store.
It is necessary also to see that all
grit and unslaked particles of lime are
strained from the mixture before it
is poun d into the spray tank. This

clogging of the nozzles. Several im-
portant details should be observed in
applying the mixture to the vines. If
the vines are large, double nozzles
should be used. The pipes and noz-
zles should be carefully adjusted so
as to cover all the rows. It requires

Caution.—The lime Is added to the
blue vitriol water principally to pre-
vent the blue vitriol from Injuring the
foliage. If the mixture Is made ac-
cording to the above directions no
damage to the foliage will result, but

An abundant water supply 1s very
desirable where large fields are to

providing sufficient barrels and palls
for mixing and preparing the stock
solutions. The concentrated lime and
blue vitriol stock solutions must bo

FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA AND
APPLE PESTS CEMENT BEST AIDS
Ftsnffun DtneaseB Show In Summer
and Need Prompt Attention.
The apple scab, grape scab, and
other forms of fungus disease show
themselves In midsummer and require
the most prompt and persistent work
with Bordeaux mixture. Meanwhile,
through all this hot weather we have
at work in our orchard a rather recent
pest, called the trlpeta fly. This is the
worst enemy that (he horticulturist
Just now has to deal with, BayB E. P.
I'owell in Outing.
This fly works all summer, and It
stings right through the skin of an
apple, at any season of Its growth. The
eggs produce the most insignificant
worms in size, but they tunnel the
apple until the whole contents is a
blackening pulp. You will sometimes
know nothing at all of the mischief
going on until a customer charges you
with selling rotten apples. Some eggs
hatch In midsummer, as soon as laid,
but others lie dormant until winter,
when they will hatch out In your cel-
lar, and go on w ith their ruinous work.
A practiced eye can generally tell
of the presence of larvae by dark
lines on the skin of the apple. The
only remedy is to keep all dropped ap-
ples picked up and destroyed. If pos-
sible, make a sheep pasture of your
orchard.
The fly likes shade, and for that
reason raspberry or currant bushes
uader your trees will encourage its
work. Spraying will do little or no
good, for we cannot reach the fly
at Its work, nor the egg that Is thrust
through the skin.
Lime for Beets.—Lime, when ap-
plied to sugar beet land In Michigan,
produces a slightly larger develop-
ment of leaf than on the unlimed
plants, and an Increase of 1,200
pounds per acre over the unlimed
beets. The percentage of sugar in the
beets remains practically the same.
Meadow Land In New York.—N*ew
York alone has nearly 5,000,000 acres
of meadow land upon which upward
of 6,000,000 tons of hay are raised
every year. In the United States ap-
proximately 60,000,000 tons of timothy
hay are grown on about 40,000,000
acres of tueadow land.

"Cement and alfalfa are going to
make the western farmers the moBt
Independent people on earth."
This is the opinion of Charles Gur-
ney of Red Cloud, Neb., who marketed
cattle worth $9,240 in Kansas City re-
cently. In explaining the use of ce-
ment on the farm Mr. Gurney said:
"The time is coming when cement
will be the universal building material
on the farm. A concrete floor and
wall eliminates the rodent and most
vermin, and In a few years a well
constructed building, with bin attach-
ments, will save enough grain to pay
for the cost of construction.
"In extreme cold weather such a
building affords an even temperature
for live stock. I never have to worry
about my young stock on a cold night.
Another advantage is the cleanliness.
I have no tuberculosis among my cat-
tle, no cholera hogs and no roup in the
chickens.
"And alfalfa Is making It possible
for the western farmer to live in
luxury. I have fattened a large herd
of cattle this year, sold alfalfa worth
$300 and have 500 tons left."
Mice Versus Garden Seeds.—A new
terror, especially to lady clerks, has
come with the establishment of the
government seed depository at Wash-
ington from which congressmen sup-
ply constituents with samples, says
the Troy Times. The seeds are quite
as attractive to mice as to men, and
the building where the grain is stored
is overrun with the creatures. As
most of those employed in doing up
the packages are girls a fearsome
state of things is prevailing In that
branch of the government service.
Rotation Crops.—Those of us who
have good farms and want to keep
them that way must practice better !
rotation of crops with more intensive
cultivation. Rotating farm crops Is
profitable in many ways. It destroys |
innumerable injurious insects and it |
keeps the weeds in check; it gives'
better crops and makes the land j
richer In more than one way. Do not j
plant spuds vnd beets all the time i
and run the land down, but ekka4% I
often.
First Provide Farm with Suitable
Buildings.
Beginners Should Exercise Much Care
in the Selection of th Parent
Stock and Not Be Ts'npted
to Buy In Show Y . d.
In the case of bulls the need for
such exacting discrimination is espe-
cially necessary, as many a herd has
been temporarily and some perma-
nently deteriorated through lnjudlci
ous introductions of this kind. Th<-
would-be breeder should especially be
on his guard against the acquisition
of cows and heifers that have been
prominent prize w inners, not only for
the reason that such animals usually
command higher prices, but also on
the ground that they are less reliable
breeders.
Ab to the selection of bulls, especial
care should be taken as to the breed
ing of the animals in relation to the
cows In his herd, and It is iiIbo urged
that as far as may be practicable the
sires selected should bo calculated
by their own Individual merit to cor-
rect any possible defect in the con
formation of tho cows.
The advantages possessed by winter
calves over those born in spring or
summer are sufficiently tangible to
warrant efforts on the part of the
breeders to have their calves arrive
before the advent of spring.
It is allowable for pedigreed cows
to suckle their calves, but in order to
encourage the milking propensities of
the cow it should be insisted upon
that each animal be milked dry at
least once a day until such time as
the calf is able to take the whole of
the dam's milk.
This is an excellent method and if
it were strictly adhered to and no
.spare milk allowed to remain in the
cow's udder there would be fewer
complaints as to the milking qualities
of our beef-producing breeds.
From about six weeks old calves
are allowed to lick a little finely
crushed oil cake, and by and by tur-
nips are also given to the earlier
calves, and then for some time before
and after weaning crushed oil cake
•is again given, and later on a mixture
,of bran, linseed meal and ground lo-
cust beans takes the place of the oil-
cake, and later still the turnips are
by degrees introduced to form the
bulky part of the ration.
WATER PLANT FOR FARMS

Answers All Purposes.
I have read with a good (leal of in
terest of the different systems ^pr
supplying country houses with water,
says a writer in Farm Magazine. I
tried the elevated tank, but did not
like it and took It down. Then I built
one from the ground. I first dug a
trench from the well and laid in it a
one-inch pipe. From that pipe I
tended a pipe, up through the bottom
of the tank with a burr on each side
of the bottom.
I then dug a circular trench six
inches larger than the tank and laid a
rock foundation high enough so that
the bottom of the tank will be higher
than the lowest outlet, so the tank
can bo drained. Then I erected a tank
Mistakes Made by Using Instrument*
Which Cause Lasting injury and
Sometimes Death.
Whether or not dehorning is cruel
depends upon the methods employed
and the instruments used. It is stated
by an authority that in the dehorning
of over 10,000 cows with the saw there
were no deaths due to the operation,
while in cows dehorned by shears
there was trouble afterward in heal-
ing of the wounds, due, no doubt, to
the crushing, fracturing action which
this instrument has upon old horns
where ossification of the cores Is ad-
vanced.
It Is not usual to app:y any prepara-
tion after the operation of dehorning
to prevent bleeding, as the loss of
blood is not sufficient, as a rule, to be

of consequence. Care should be taken,
however, to prevent substances from
getting into the openings left after the
horns are removed. The horn cores
are elongations of the frontal bones ol
the skull, and are hollow. They com-
municate with the frontal sinuses, or
air spaces, of the head; therefore for-
eign substances or fragments of horn
which act as an irritant in these cavi-
ties are apt to set up an inflammation,
resulting in the formation of pus or
an abscess, which may prove quite
serious.

will rub their heads against a dirt or
gravel bank or the rough bark of a
tree, and foreign material may thus
get into the cavities, though usually
the soreness of the parts is sufficient
to prevent this.
If the animals are dehorned in warm
weather it is well to apply some pine
tar with a view to keeping flies from
the wounds. Some operators do this
in nearly al! cases, thinking that it
facilitates healing. The dehorning
operation should always, when pos-
sible, be performed in cool weather,
and upon animals which have at least
attained the age of two years.
IMPROVEMENT ON WHEELCART
Simple Arrangement Added to Car-
riage, Making It a Practical
Hive-Lifter.
I have added a very simple arrange-
ment to my wheel cart that I use for
moving hives, making it a practical
hive-lifter, says H. R. Boardmaa, in
Bee Culture. A weight is placed be-
tween the handles of the cart in such
a way that It may be easily removed
to nnd from the axle. The object of
this weight Is to counterbalance the
weight of the hive. When lifting a
hive I slide the ends of the frame-
work under the hive cleats in the
if n. sroanway
Cool the Milk Promptly.
The prompt and thorough cooling of
milk is generally recognized to be of
prime importance in preventing the
development of bacteria, which under
ordinary conditions are always pres-
ent in milk as soon as drawn, and to
which the sourlnt or curdling of milk

Jftl way and then move the weight
hack fir enough so that It will hold
the hive suspended. In this way the
upper stories can be removed and held
to one side while the frames in the
lower story are examined; or the low-
er story may be removed entirely, if
necessary, or replaced by another
one.
For a weight I use an ordinary hive-
body in which I put whatever heavy
material 1 desire. The Illustration
shows the trunk-rovers on the under
side of the cleans, so that the weight
may be slid back and f«rth without
much exertion.
With this arrangement I can weigh
hives as well as move them. With
my regular scales I weighed different
hives and marked the position of the
weight on the framework w^hen a good
balance was secured. In this way 1
can get the weights of different hives
accurately enough for general pur-
poses. ,

they are due. There is, however, one
debt so vast that it never can be paid
in full; "to love one another." I.ove
sums up the whole law and perfect
love would make a perfect man. It is
obvious that if we love our neighbor,
we shall not kill him, or steal from
him, or bear false witness against
him, or covet his good things, or work
ill to our neighbor in any other way.
The Temperance Application.—It
would be hard to name an "ill to a
neighbor" that is not fostered by in-
temperance. "We suffer more year by
year from intemperance than from
war, pestilence and famine combined—
those three great scourges of the hu-
man family."—Gladstone.
A Warning from Approaching Death.
—Vs. 11, 12. With what argument did
Paul urge the law of love? That the
end of the world was at hand, the close
of the present order of things. "And
that" there is good reason for you to
do, namely, keep the law of love, be-
cause you know the critical "time" in
which you live. This is a reference to
the Parousia, or second coming of
Christ, which Paul and the other apos-
tles seem to have believed to be closs
at hand.
What conclusion did Paul draw from
the nearness of Christ's coming? That
it was "high time to awake out of
sleep: for their salvation was nearer
than when they believe" (aorist tense, j
came to believe, became Christians.)
"The words are as an alarm, or
morning watchbell, awakening a
Christian to his day's work."—Arch-
bishop Leighton.
What are the temperance applica-
tions of this thought? Intemperance
dulls the physical sense, blears the
eyes, renders the touch less sensitive,
the hearing less acute, the brain less
active. It dulls the moral nature.
Drinking men soon lose the nice sense
of right and wrong. Conscience be-
comes sluggish. The will becomes
flabby, "Wake up! Wake up!" let
every Christian cry to the intemper-
ate.
A Pure Life and How to Live It.—
Vs. 13, 14. How does Paul sum up
these rules of life? "Let us walk
(that Is, live) honestly as in the day,
when men can see us. The reference
is to the exteriors of life, but Paul
was the last man to forget that "out of
the heart are the issues of life." He
Is still speaking In parable, and to the
end of the chapter he uses outer rai-
ment as a symbol of inner character.
In order to live becomingly what
must we avoid? "Rioting (R. V. "rev-
elling") and drunkenness, chambering
(unlawful intercourse) and wanton-
ness, strife and envying (R. V. "jeal-
ousy").
That Is negative; positively, in or-
der to live becomingly, what must we
do? "Put on (as a garment, continu-
ing the metaphor) the Lord Jesus
Christ, and make not provision for the
flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." "Flesh
in the moral sense: the depraved na-
ture."—Prof. M. R. Vincent. We arc-

sensual gratifications.
What are the modern teifiperance I
applications of this rule of life? There
would be no saloons If men "put on :
the Lord Jesus Christ." Who can I

dens of Iniquity, unless to rescue ids
brothers from the snare? Every I
