MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE SPREADS
Keport Infestation in Three
More Ohio Counties.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Aiirlrulture )
From three more comities In south
central Ohio—Ross, Jackson anti Gal
Ha—reports have been received of
Alex lean bean beetle Infestation, In ad
dltlon to other counties previously re-
ported to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In some In
stances the Insect bit* damaged the
foliage of bean* considerably. In

hundred parasites have been received
at each place. Control of the insect
by spraying with magnesium arsenate
has heen successfully demonstrated In
practical Ueltl tests on over a hundred
acres of heuns at Newport, Tenn.
Good control has also been obtained I
by several truck growers about Chat-

Area Plan of Wiping Out
Dread Disease of Cattle
In the Interests of Improved live
stock throughout the surrounding
country, the First National hank of
| Petersburg, N. I)., is not only actively
supporting the “Better Sires -Better
Slock” campaign, but is aiding In
financing It. An officer of the hank.
In a recent letter to the United States
Department of Agriculture, states that
there are now over 00 pure bred sires
In the Immediate vicinity, most of
them shipped in by the bunk. In ad
dltlon the hank has arranged to ship
in Id carload* of breeding ewe* from
the West to place among its custo-
mers. and along with the ewes there
will be distributed pure bred ruiu* ol
four leading breeds.
The relatively low price nt which
pure bred live stock Is now available
has encouraged officers of the bank In
their activity, thus laying the founds
lion for herds and (locks of good quul-
ity that will be vuluuble assets to the
community later.
Pasture Feeding
Found Superior
Brief Summary Given of
Tests Carried at Illinois
Experiment Station.
The old-fashioned permanent blue
gras* pasture, which has heen consid-
ered out of date by many corn-belt
farmers In recent years, came back
Into its own In a steer-feeding experi-
ment carried oil at the Illinois experf-
inent station during the past summer,
under the inanHgeinent of Prof. U. R.
Knapp of the animal husbandry de-
partment of the university. In this
test four lots of three-year-old steer*
were fed a full ration of shelled corn
along wlih blue grass pasture, sweet
clover pasture, alfalfa bay and corn
silage respectively. The cuttle fed
corn silage received approximately 2.5
pounds of cottonseed meal us a sup-
plement, but no supplement of uny
kind was used in the other lots.
F^ed Bills Higher.
Although the cattle fed In the dry
lot* gullied more rapidly than did
those on pasture, their feed bills also
were considerably higher, so that prs-
lure was superior from a financial
standpoint. Due consideration must
also be given to the facts that more
pork was produced In connection with
pasture feeding, that considerable less
labor was spent in curing for the cat-
tle, and that ull of the manure pro-
duced was scattered on the land with
no appreciable loss of fertility and
with no expenditure of labor.
Due to the recent market declines
In fat cattle values all four lot* of
cuttle failed to show a profit. How-
ever, the loss suffered was much less
with the blue gras* lot than with uny
of the other three.
Proved Disappointing.
Sweet clover pusture proved to he
somewhat of a disappointment to Its
many admirers. While the cattle
made very satisfactory gains from
sweet clover during late June and
July, It proved to he too “washy" dur-
ing the early summer and too coarse
and woody after the middle of August.
On the whole, however, It proved a
more profitable summer roughage than
either alfulfu buy or corn silage fed In
a dry lot.

Wheat After Soy Beans
Particularly Desirable
The Idea seems general that a soy-
bean hay crop removed from a piece
of land leaves it in particularly
■irshle shape for wheat sowing a* far
a* fertility is concerned Such U not
the ease. When soy beans are removed
as hay there has been, practically
speaking, no fertility added to the x..||
bv the legume while, on the other
hand, both phosphorus and potash have
been removed. When! on land from
wldeh soy beans have been removed
as hay will respond to a 2 12-11 fertili-
ser in a very satisfactory manner and
■ome such fertiliser should be used.
Only by lurtdng under the beans is
there any appreciable addition of ni-
trogen to the soil and wheal will al-
ways respond to a small amount «.f
nitrogen when following soy bean hay.
Green Feeds in Winter

During tin* winter ivoeiiis it is often
something of i problem to keep any
green feed before a laying flock, espe-
cially (lie bens to he used for setting*

tion. Fit tier fresh buttermilk or skim
milk takes the place of green feed to

Area Plan of Wiping
Out Cattle Disease
Scheme Is Proving Popular
in Many Parts of Country.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Testing cuttle for tuberculosis un-
der the area plan—that I*. testing all
the cuttle ut once In u county or other
urea—I* proving very populur in many
parts of the country One reason I*
that u county freed of this disease is
u center to which cattle buyers are
attracted; another Is thut large num-
ber* *»f cattle can ho tested ut u lower
cost than when only u few herd* or u
single herd are tested.
During the past year nearly 1,800,-
000 cuttle were tested under this plan,
and this wus more than 50 per cent
of all the cuttle tested In the United
State*. A summary of 72 counties re-
ported as having finished ‘esting r.II of
the cattle within tl**ir borders show*
that the work was done at a cost of
approximately 34 cents a heud, which
included all expenses, exclusive of In-
demnity.
So far 81 counties have finished
testing all of the cattle once, an In-
crease of 5(j counties over the preced-
ing year. Seventeen counties—one In
Indiana, two In Tennessee, four In
Michigan and ten In North Curollnn—
have been approved a* modified ac-
credited areas and cattle may now be
moved from within their borders when
properly identified without r tuber-
culin teat for u period of three years
to such states us will accept this class
of cattle.
Indiana Roads Are Not
Intended for Speeding
Indiana state roads are constructed
and maintained to expedite overland
travel twelve months in the year, but
their smoothness of surface does not
necessarily mean they should be con-
verted Into speedways despite the In-
vitation they present, declares John
D. Williams, director of the state high-
way commission.
Indiana state roads will go Into the
winter In excellent condition to with-
stand the rigors of thaws and freezes,
highway officials say. During the sum-
mer and fall many of the secondary
roads were “regraveled" and "re-
sumed.” Traffic In the pnst few
months caused them to hind hard and
firm. Drainage has been an Impor-
tant item in maintenance work also,
and experience has shown that non-
rlgld type roads properly and quickly
drained better withstand tin*, severe
traffic demand of the times.
Metals Are Blamed for
Fishy Taste in Butter
In eating butter which has a fishy
taste, we often wonder why It Is that
those who handle this product allow
fish and butter to get together. The
fact is. they don’t. Science has dis-
covered that cream which comes In
contact with metal, particularly Iron,
develops (Ids flavor very rapidly.
Often cream Is placed In granite ware
which may have a chipped surface.
Coming In contact with this metal,
and possibly ripening too much and. In
addition, getting a little extra salt and
too much energy on the working ladle,
bring about this very unfavorable
fishy fluvor.
Fowls With Diphtheria
Should Be Destroyed
The United States Department of
Agriculture states that “the treatment
of fowls affected with diphtheria re-
quires much time and patience, and
ns n rule does not pay. It I* hotter
to kill those affected, bury nr burn the
csreasse*. disinfect the poultry houses,
and In that way eradicate the con-
tagion as soon aft possible, even If the
whole flock must be sacrificed."
Contagion is spread by contact with
dl sensei I birds. They may be Intro-
duced by newly purchased stock, or
stock which has been away to stinwa,
or may he carried by pigeons or birds
Heating Poultry Houses
During Winter Weather
Opinions differ In regard to the ad
vlsulilllty of heating poultry houses in
winter time. As a rule there is no oh
jeetinn to artificial beat of about 50
degrees F., while furthermore this
would facilitate the ventilation of the
span*. However, unless the tempera
ture be. quite regular, beating should
he omitted, a* few factor* arc more
dangerous than a fluctuating tempera
ture In n poultry house during winter
weather
Condensed Buttermilk Is
Very Good to Feed Hogs
The condensed or “sen:I solid" but-
termilk give* very V»*d results In
feeding swine. If differ* very little
from skim milk In composition, and
trial* have shown that It hn* sub-
stantially Ihe same va'iiv for pigs.
Alany farmer* who do not have suf-
ficient skim milk for :nolr hogs feed
the semi solid buttermilk with the
skim milk.
Forestry Increase* Income
Forestry Increase* the farm Income
by growing timber on poor soils, steep
hillsides, stony land and otherwise un-
used corners.
Buyer* Want Quality.
Buyers are generally willing to pay
for quality; this fact applies to hut-
terfnt as well as apples, egg* or wheat.
Make Tes^of Seed.
Test your seed com and small grain
intended for Seeding. ft pay* big
wages for the time spent.
Get Maximum Number of
Eggs in Winter Months
To get the maximum number of eggs
during the cold months there nre sev-
eral Important things to be considered.
Generally speaking, these resolve
themselves into four principal points.
They nre good hens, comfortable hous-
ing, proper feed In plenty, and con-
stant care. The quantity of eggs de-
pends to a considerable extent upon
the kind of fowls kept. Begin right by
raising pullets from pur? bred, healthy,
egg-laying stock, for it does not cost
any more to raise and keep pure
breeds than Just any old kind. Of
course they cost a little more In the
beginning, but the Increase in future
profits will more than balance this.
BEST TO SMOTHER
CARBURETOR FIRE
Pouring on Water Simply Floats
Lighter Gasoline and Makes
It Burn Better.
! KHWIN GREER, President Greer Col-
l***e of Automotive Englncorins. Chicago )
I How gasoline burns or explode* is
wdiat puts fear Into the average man
and mukes him stand at what he con-
siders a safe distance while he
watche* his car or truck go up in
smoke. If the fuel tank contained
twenty, ten or even one gallon of or-
dinary black gunpowder, his fear
; would he exceedingly well founded.
! *lm,e whenever fire reaches any part
of u inuKH of gunpowder, It all ex-
: plodes In a small fraction of a sec-
| ond. Fortunately gasoline alone Is
j not only non-explosive but will not
even burn unless it Is first evaporated
I «n<I the vapor In contact with the
oxygen of the air.
Safe to Fight Fire.
Even If the gasoline tank Is under
the cowl or under the front seat,
there is little danger of it* contents
being ignited from a carburetor fire
unless It is allowed to burn for sev-
eral minutes. If the gas tank tins Its
screw cup In position, the walls of
the tank must be red hot (almost)
iihove the liquid surface line before
the fuel ln*lde Oie tank will be set
on fire. Hence It Is perfectly safe to
fight the carburetor fire before It has
had time to heat up things too much.
First Thing to Do.
The first thing to do, of course. Is
to close the valve In the pipe line be-
tween tank and carburetor. The next
Is to smother the fire. Pouring on
water I* worse than useless because
It w’ill simply flout the lighter gnsoline
and oil to the surface and make it
burn better. A wetted cloth or bag.
however, 1* effective and may be used.
Anything that will not Itself burn
very rapidly will do to shut off the
air supply from the burning gasoline.
Wool doe* not burn so fast as cotton,
hence a woolen coat, overcoat, lap-
robe, rug or blnnket may be the hand
lest thing to push up tightly around
and over the burning fuel.
If wool Is not at hand, cotton fabric
of any kind, if fnlrly thick, will an-
swer. Rond dust, sand, even sugar,
snlt or flour, wheat, barley, or other
threshed grain. In fact anything that
will stop or greatly slow down the
flow of air will do the business.
Usually a small carburetor Are, If
put out promptly, will not do enough
Injury to the machine to prevent
ready starting after things have
cooled down enough to permit turn
Ing on the gasoline oguln.

loose from their fastenings and grad-

due to the lamp bulbs themselves. If
the filament is not centered in a bulb,
it will throw a beam to the side or up

ble is to replace the bulb.
It Is Usually Hard to
Determine Sex of Geese
There I* usually some difficulty in
making sure of the sex of ganders and
geese. The gander has a shorter and
thicker neck than the goose. The hag
between his legs is single, while that
of the goose Is double. The gander's
voice Is clear, thin, silvery; the goose
has a deep bass. The beak of n gan-
der is thicker; the under mandible Is
fuller. The under mandible of the
goose Is shrunken around the nostrils.
It Is better to get new ganders In
the fall. Some ganders and geese will
take but one mate; other ganders will
mate with two or more. Not over
three geese to n gander should be
used in making n mating.

parts of the system with which they
function entirely with wire leading to

dime, a* efficient operation Is Just as
well obtained by passing the current
