(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Bean anthracnose and blight are carried over Vom year to year in the seed. The most effective method to reduce the amount of disease, according to the United States department of agriculture, is by hanuVpicklng the seed very carefully before planting. This will eliminate most of the spotted, discolored, shriveled, undersized,

and cracked beans, and does a great

deal toward insuring a uniform stand. A germination test of the seed will in

dicate whether a good stand is likely to result. This work should be done

during the winter months wThen work is slnck find before the SDrinK rush

begins. Secure Cleaner Crop. By removing all discolored and spot

ted beans the source of infection will be greatly reduced, and the result will

be a cleaner crop. The weather con

ditions determine to a certain extent

the severity of bean anthracnose and

(Prepared by the United States Depart

ment of Agriculture.) If many o the swamps and marsh

lands which are now occupied by musk-

rats are reclaimed for agricultural purJ-

poses it may oe necessary tu aiuu

muskrat farming" in order to supply M . Ii

the demand for muskrat lur, is tne opinion of biologists of the United States department of agriculture. For the present, however, a sufficient num

ber of muskrats to meet demands for their fur are trapped from marshes and swamps that are, for the most

part, unprotected, millions of skins be

ing taken each year. So long as the natural breeding places remain undisturbed and reasonable closed seasons are maintained, the biologist say, there is little likelihood of the numbers of the animals being depleted. This is because these animals multiply much more rapidly than most other fur bearers. With adequate protection in the breeding season and with the present habitat available, from ten to twelve million pelts can be taken in North America annually without deple

tion of the supply. The practicability of muskrat farming already has been demonstrated. The animals are easily kept, become very tame, and breed well in narrow quarters. Under present economic conditions, however ; keeping muskrats on preserves is more practicable than keeping them in restricted quarters. The former plan is in remunerative operation in the Chesapeake Bay region. In Dorchester county, Md., marsh land formerly considered almost useless, and now used as muskrat preserves, is worth more, measured by actual income, than cultivated lands in the same vicinity. The owner of

one 1,300-acre tract of marsh, took in two seasons 1909 and 1910 more than 12,000 pelts which sold for more than $9,000.

Win the War by Preparing the Land Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada CO-OFEKATIVE FARMING IN MAN POWER NECESSARY TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR LIBERTY The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are available to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon the efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply. Evtry Available Tillable Acre Musi Coniributt; Evtry Available Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; the Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 is 400,000,000 Bushels To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. When

ever we find a man we can spare to Canada s fields after ours are supplied, we want to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve the combined interests. Western Canada's help will be required not later than April 5th. Wages to competent help, 850.00 a month and up, board and lodging. Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good board and find comfortable homes. They will get a rate of one cent a mile from Canadian boundary points to destination and return. For particulars as to routes and places where employment may be had apply to: U, S.

against these losses regardless of the weather conditions. The undersized, shriveled, irregular, and cracked beans do not germinate well and their removal will help to secure a uniform stand. No chances should be taken with the 1918 crop. Only the very best seed available should be used. Test Germination. Germination tests should be made to determine what percentage of the seed will grow. Follow the method commonly employed for testing the germination of corn. The seeds may be

laid between moist blotters or folds of

cloth placed in a shallow dish, cov

ered with a plate and kept in a warm room ; or they may be planted in sand or soli. If the germination is poor, the fact must be taken into account when deciding upon the rate of planting, in order to insure a good stand. It is very Important that seed be tested this year, since early frosts in the fall of 1917 prevented the crop from matur

ing properly in some of the principal bean-growing sections of the country. A failure to do so may result in a poor stand and much reduced yield.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The Maryland and New York state

councils of defense have been endeav

oring to assist in solving the farm

labor problem and increasing the pro

duction of crops in those states by making a limited number of tractors available to farmers for use in communities where the conditions rendered this practicable. Last spring the New York state council of defense purchased a number of tractors to be used in plowing and preparing land f or crops. These outfits wTere made available to responsible organizations in the principal agricultural counties with the understanding that a considerably increased acreage of land would be planted to crops over the amount normally planted.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- . mont of Agriculture.) Owing to the large amount of soft corn that was harvested last fall, special care should be given to prevent It from heating In the crib. Cora that has already been cribbed without sorting should be worked over during weather unfit for husking. This is especially true if stored In large cribs without special ventilation. Corn in large, broad cribs freezes during the winter months and while frozen appears to be dry. Investigations, however, have shown that corn in such cribs dries out little until the weather begins to warm up in the spring. With the excessive moisture in the soft, frosted, and immature corn it is prac

tically certain that there will be fur

ther spoilage and heating of the soft

corn as the weather warms up.

The salting of ear corn in cribs will

retard and in many cases prevent heat

ing. The salt acts not only as a pre

servative but aids in drawing the water

from the corn, which then evaporates if the corn is stored in well-ventilated cribs so that the air can circulate free

ly through it. The United States has carried on no special experiments with salted corn, but the quantity of salt recommended ranges from one to two barrels per 1,000 bushels of corn. This condition, however, will not apply to

Tractor at Work. council of defense of Maryland bought a small number of tractors for a similar purpose. The results thus far have proven so

satisfactory that plans are under way

to continue the use of the tractors in the preparation of land for spring eroi-S. In addition to meeting an emergency the use of the tractors has resulted in the purchase of a number of them by individual farmers and groups of farmers.

SPREAD MANURE ON FIELDS

Best and Most Economical Way to Handle Fertilizer No Loss Where Soil Doesn't Wash.

The best and most economical way to handle manure is to draw the manure out to the fields as fast as made, and spread it. If the ground is not liable to wash badly and is not of a lc.ehy character, there will be no loss of fertility.

Mrs. Etta Dorion, of Ogdensburg, Wis., says: "I snßered from female troubles which caused piercing pains like a knife through my back and side. I finally lost all my strength so I had to go to bed. The doctor advised an operation but I would not listen to it. I thought of what I had read about Lydia E. PinkhanVs Vegetable Compound and tried it. The first bottle brought great relief and sis bottles have entirely cured me. All women who have female trouble of any kind should try Lydia E. Pinkham's Yegetable Compound."
