Several fattening crates for poul- try do good duty on the farm 'of Clarence Sage, of Vespra township. They are V-shaped coops, with the sides and back closed in, but with a slattefl/front. In the early spring the hens with chickens are placed in coops of this sort, the young enes going in and out between the slats easily. . Later on these coops are used for fattening the broilers as they come to the proper size. New broods com- ing along keep these busy right up until the spring snow flies, according to 'Mr. §age. The pens have no bot- tome, and are shifted from place to place in the - yard, keeping them clean, and providing green feed for the penned up birds with a minimum of labor. The birds are fed on a ration of ground torn, oats and tank. age, fed dry, 2 | A new fungus disease as well as a new insect pest have been found at. tacking the Ohio potato crop - this year. The insect is a groen and pink louse that has become quite com. mon over the State. The fungus trouble carries a leaf spot and roll infection, but this can be tontroiled by spraying.

During the fly season dairy cows should be sprayed twice daily, once before they are turned out to pasture in the morning and again when they are brought in, says the dairy hus- bandry department at Ames. Some of the chemicals often used in making such sprays are at present very high An price, but an economical and effective mixture can be made of 1% quarts coal tar dip, 1% quarts fish oil, 1 quart coal oil and 1 pint oil of tar. Mix this in 10 gallons of luke- warm soft water, in which has been desolved 1 pound of mundry soap. Such a spray will aid considerably in keeping the flies from cows and "hus increase milk production. With a spraying machine which can be wheeled through the barn. two men 'ten spray forty to fifty cows in about five minutes. ! Stripe Disease in Barley. "Stripe disease' In barley is re norted across 14e line... It is a fungus discase and is not generally knows sr recognized. Tae fungus attacks the leaves of the barley plant produc- ing first white stripes in them, giv- ing the appearance of ribbon grass. The leaves ultimately turn brown, crumple, and die. The plants attagk- 1 do not produce seed. This barley disease was known In Germany as early as 1837, but it was not known in this country till 1881. it is only two years since recommen- dations could be made for its treat- ment. The seed barley soaked for two hours in a solution of formalde- hyde will destroy the gungus. . One poiiit af férmaldephye to 40 gallons > a solution strong enough. We ee TO RESTORE FARMS, Canada Will Contribute Toward Work of Making Homes, Canadian co-operation is being in- voked and has been promised in con- nection with a British Empire fund to be raised by voluntary contribu- tions for the restoration of agricul- ture on the farms in the devastated regions of France, Belgium, Serbia, Russia, and Roumania. The object of the fund is to help in reinstating the peasant farmers in the jnvaded countries of our allies. This will be done by gifts of seed, live stock, im- plements, ete.,, to enable them to make a fresh start. The Agricultural Relief of the Allies Committee began its work ty raising a fund in England. The King is the patron, the Duke of Portland is the president, and there is a strong executive committee, with the Earl of Northbrook as chairman. The work is being ccntinued, and is meeting with a gratifying response, Last year it was decided to widen the effort to include the overseas Do- minions. Practical help and encouragement have been received from the British and French Governments. The French Government has assumed re- sponsibility for the carriage and equitable distribution of each ship- ment on its arrival in France. It is expected that similar action will be taken by the Governments of the other countries when the time for distributing relief in them arrives. The Canadian Government js 'in full sympathy with the object of the fund, and with the plan to enable Canadians to contribute to it. Sir Robert Borden and Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier have personally expressed their hearty approval, and are willing to become the honorary presidents of the Canadian branch of the fund. | Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Ag- riculture, and Hon. Sydney Fisher, former Minister of Agriculture, will become members of the Central Ex- ecutive Committee for Canada. His Excellency the Duke of Devon- shire, Governor-General of Canada, who was a member of the Executive Committee in England, is patron ol the Canadian branch. His Excels lency has invited the Lieut.-Governor cf each Province to become patron of a committee for his province. Dr. James W. Robertson has been asked to undertake the organization of a Canadian branch Tor the Brit- ish Empire Committee, He has visited the devastated regions south of Verdun, along the walley of the Marne, and at the Somme, After a visit to Jl the Provinces of Canada, Dr. Robertson reports that the Provincial Governments are in hearty sympathy with the proposal that Canadian farmers should parti- cipate in contributing to the relief af their brother farmers, on whom have fallen such terrible losses because their farms and homes were in the invaded distriets. The Minister of Agriculture and the leaders of the agricultural organ- izations in the several Provinces have expressed themselves as ready and entirely willing to help in the organization of each Province, The general plan proposed is for each provincial committee to invite the co-operation of existing organiza- tions of farmers, such as farmers' institutes, women's institutes, farm- ers' clubs, the United Farmers, the Grain Growers' Association, and sim- ilar bodies in the other Provinces to disseminate information, receive con- tributions, and forward them to the provincial headquarters, It is intended to make this special appeal to Canadian farmers on two separate occasions, The organized cheese factories and creameries will be invited to donate the proceeds of one day's milk on one of the days of the anniversary of the great battles of the Marne (Sept. 6 to 10), when the French armies, assisted by the British Expeditionary Force under General Sir John French, defeated five of the great armies with which Germany was attempting to destroy France. The contributions of the other farmers will be invited and re- ceived either in the month of No- vember, December, or January. Local committees will probably ar- range to receive donations of grain, live stock, and other products, which they will sell on behalf of the fund, and remit the proceeds to their re- spective provincial headquarters. Disinfectant For Hen Houses. A good disinfecting spray is made at home in this way: In one gallon of kerosene dissolve one pound of nap thaline flakes. Let it stand for a day or so before using. giving it a good shake from time to time. A box paint- ed on the inside.with this may be used to put lice infected fowls in, covered with a burlap cover, and left for awhile. This is a good treatment te give a turkey hen when taken from the nest and before she is to be shut up with ber brood. to scatter trouble over them, She may be kept in, for eighteen or twenty minutes. the brooder or coop under a tree or else make a small artificial shade.

There will probably be a good deal of grain left shredded on the ground from this year's harvest, Turn it into pork. While Ontario dairymen have had an abundance of pasture this season reports come from England of pastures drying up. Give the team a pall of water in the mniiddle of the forenoon and afternoon when hauling in the crop. Water refreshes the horses as well as the man. The man who buys meals in small amounts as needed and buys the meal cheapest per hundredweight is a poor business man and does not appreciate the real values of feeds. It does not pay to keep old hens in the flock at any time. An actual loss results from keeping them at present feed prices. All fowls over two years old, unless of special value for breeding, should be marketed. An English farmer writes in Farmer and Stock Breeder that he started last spring on 500 acres, with only two regular men, and has had to make up with woman labor and soldiers and a Mogu tractor. * | A wet pen will make a lame hog. The boar counts for half, and a Wig hall. Fatten the rattle-headed sow that lies on her pigs. Try another. Small pigs grow rapidly in a cold rain, that is, rapidly smalier. The cheapest kind of exeperience is other people's experience. It sounds contradiction, but it is good advice to fatten the hogs lean. Quickly grown hogs are by any odds the most profitable. Be merciful even toward the pig about to be killed. Tie hog is a machine for convert- ing golden grain into golden coin' Beware of the scrub pure-bred pig. Blood without quality is worse than quality without blood. The best breed is the one that will rear most pigs and make the most and best bacon oii the cheapest food. When pigs are low in price it is the time 10 increase the number of breeders, There is nothing more convincing than success, but even success can be improved upon. Study the difference between a growing ration and a fattening ra- tion in hogs. Pigs consume two pounds of water with every pound of grain, if they can get the water, Put the hogs on the platform scales occasionally, You will learn some- thing. Avoid scours in pigs by keeping things clean about troughs and swill tubs, Aim for a daily gain of one and a half pounds per pig. If you do not work for it you will probably not get it. A larger increase of weight in pigs is obtained for the amount of food consumed in the early stages of fat- tening than in the later stages. For a profitable sow, lay more stress on good bone good constitution and big litters than on a number in the herd book. Save the best sows for breeders. SOME HOG LORE. Do not kill good breeding stock too early. Keep a record'of the perfor- mance of each sow. Profit comes not in how little we can keep the pig on, but in how much we can get him to eat of a balanced ration. The younger the animal the more thoroughly it digests its food. SWAT THE WEED. Robber Plants Steal the Food From the Useful Crops. A pation wide weed swatting cam. paign is advocated for farmers and gardeners in order to insure a war crop for this year. Pernicious weeds, commonly intro duced on the farm by the sowing of impure seed, tend toward crop redue- tion, says Robert Schmidt, seed ana- Iyst in the Kansas State Agrieultural college. Often a good stand of alfalfa has been rmnined by vigorous weeds which clhiokéd it out before it became well established. Weeds are primarily a robber crop. When growifig with crop plants they rob the soil of much food and moisture which should be used by other plants. Weeds are usually hardy and prolific. They will thrive especially well in care. fully prepared soil if given a chance Unless k€pt down by proper cultivation and crofi rotation they will soon aver run the land. Weeds are eradicated at great expense. Good clein seed should always be sown--the best obtaiuable Is | none too good. : : Se \ Is Summer Fallowing Necessary? "If I had a hundred acre farm I'd never summer fallow any of it," said a good dnd successful farmer who only operates 50 acres, and who never does summer fallow any of it "It always seems to me a waste of good land, a waste of fertility, and a waste of a crop. I rely on a hoe crop i Jo clean my land, and on manure and 'tommercial fertilizer to supply the plant food, and I'm building my farm up so that I get bigger crops, without the summer fallowing." Many fa ood farmers, too ~will disagree with him. An ex- pression of opinion, and an exchange of ideas on this point would be of in- terest, and value. Do not breed young, immature sows. ; BUYING DIRECT FROM THE PRODUCER. "Pa, this lady says she can't get these milk-fed squashes from Bunkuin & Trimmen, the eity grocers, for twenty-five cents apiece.
