Disease Control Is
Needed for Rabbits
Success Depends on Ability
to Kill Parasites.
(Prepared by the United States Department
ot Agriculture.)
Success in raising rabbits depends
to u great extent on the ability to
keep tlie animals free from parasites
and bacterial diseases. A knowledge
of the more serious ailments is ad
vantageous says the United States
Department of Agriculture, and may
be had from a study of Fanners’ Bul
letin No. 1565-F, •’Babbit Parasites
and Diseases,” anew publication now
ready for distribution to persons re
questing it.
Among the parasitic diseases giv
en special attention in the bulletin
are coccidiosis, ear mange or ear can
ker, skin mange, and stomach worm
diseases. These diseases cause weak
ness, emaciation, wasting and death.
Other parasitic affections, such as ir

rltations caused by fleas, lice and in
testinal worms of various sorts, while
not commonly producing very marked
symptoms in infested animals, may
gradually render them weak and un
thrifty, making them more susceptible
to other diseases us a result of their
lowered vitality.
Prevention and control measures
are more practical than treatment,
and ure usually matters of sanita
tion. In the case of parasitic dis
eases such measures must he based
on a knowledge of the habits and life
histories of the parasites involved
and on their mode of transmission
front one animal to another. The bul
letin also discusses bacterial and oth
er diseases, such as snuffles and pneu
monia.

Growing of Asparagus
Not Difficult Task
The growing of asparagus is not
difficult. Its chief requirement is plant
food with water. Make a bed of any
required size, forking in well rotted
manure to make a deep, rich soil. Set
one or two year-old roots IS inches
apart in the row, with rows 2% feet
apart, 100 roots for n bed 20 by 20
feet, in size. Set rows well down and
fill in later, giving opportunity lightly
to till the surface without disturbing
crowns.
Some prefer to sow seed, thinning
out later, but the common method of
establishing an asparagus bed is by
the use of roots, one year old. The
secret of a good asparagus bed, long
exposed, is a soil kept rich and not to
prolonged cutting in the summer. It
Is so easily raised that few seem to
think it worth while. Quick growing,
large tips will not be cut from a
starved bed, however.
Sweet clover will grow almost any
where if the annual rainfall is more
than 17 inches and there is enough
lime in the soil. But in spite of the
fact that sweet clover is a hardy
plant, it is not always easy to get a
stand. ■ Three things especially im
portant in getting a stand are lime,
inoculation and a firm seed bed. It
may not always be necessary to neu
tralize an acid soil, but sweet clover
commonly must have lime if it is to
do well. Inoculation of the seed or
soil is advisable where the crop is
to be grown on land that has grown
neither alfalfa nor sweet clover be
fore. A firm seed bed is necessary.
Man*' failures have been shown to
be due to lack of rolling or compact
ing the soil after plowing.

Quality Is First
in Home Gardens
Good Seed Is Prime Requi
site for Best Crop of
Vegetables.
Quality comes first, says Paul
Work of the New York state college
of agriculture at Ithaca, N. A’., speak
ing of varieties of vegetables for
home use and for the home garden.
Good seed is a prime requisite, and to
be sure of satisfaction, it usually is
best to deal with n seed house that
caters to commercial growers.
Corn Is Mainstay.
Sweet corn is the mainstay of many
home gardens and often is the 'main
reason for their existence, for it pays
the highest dividends. Sweet corn
loses 50 per cent of its sugar and
hence its flavor and tenderness in 24
hours after it is picked. This is a
mighty good reason for having it
close at hand. Among the best va
rieties are Early White Cob Corey,
Golden Bantam, Early Sunshine,
Golden Giant, Country Gentleman,
Evergreen* and Whipple’s Yellow.
For the same reasons, peas come
next to corn in importance. Thomas
Laxton and Gradus are the best vari
eties for quality, Alaska is the earli
est. The dwarf kinds such as Ameri
can Wonder, Knos Excelsior, Little
Marvel, and Laxtonian give more
peas to the pod, and are more ten
der. Telephone, Stratagem and Al
derman are late, big-bodied pens.
Among the beans, Stringless Green
Pod which is round, early and ten
der and Bountiful are to be recom
mended. Most good beans have
curved pods.
Lima Beans Desirable.
Lima beans are very desirable for
the home garden, but their long grow
ing season and the unfavorable ef
fects of cold wet ground and bad
weather make them difficult in New
York state to raise. The better ones
for central New York are the Burpee
bush, the Fordhook bush, and the
Henderson bush. Of the pole beans,
Scotia, Kentucky, Wonder, Leviathan,
Challenger and Green Shell are good.
Canary Grass Valuable
for Protein Content
The following is taken from a write
up of the work being done at the
Waseca substation in Minnesota. It
appeared in the Milking Shorthorn
Journal:
“Another interesting experiment is
with fellaris grass, or canary grass.
This grows in sloughs and wet places,
yielding 10 tons to the acre of grass
that has as high protein content. as
alfalfa. It roots like quack grass,
growing from the shoots as w-ll as
from seed. If the experiment shows
that the grass has everything claimed
for it by farmers in the county that
have grown it, there seems a consid
erable future for canary grass. The
prospect of a Minnesota farmer get
ting his wet land caught with grass
yielding ten tons to the acre of grass
as nourishing as alfalfa, is even worse
than getting his good land seeded
with alfalfa, this is always having to
be cut when he has other farm work
to do.”
Ohio Farmers Walk Many
Miles in Doing Chores
The Ohio farmers walk an average
of 99 miles a month in doing their
chores according to tests made by the
rural economics department at Ohio
State university. To make this test
pedometers were worn by the farmers
while doing chores. Of two farmers
with exactly the same number ol
horses and cows and approximately
the same number of pigs, one farmer
walked 135 miles a month and the
other farmer 49 miles. The difference
was caused by the relative conveni
ence of the farmstead and facilities
for watering and feeding the stock,
The water pail proved to be excellent
equipment for inducing the farmers
to walk great distances.
