BURNS Heating and Plumbing IRON CASTINGS FURNISHED PROMPYLY BY THE VAUGHN FOUNDRY 00 in a season like the present, which has been exceptionally favorable to the development of disease and, unfav- arable to the 'wth of the bean crop. _Two bean diseases are commonly prevalent, anthracnose and bacterial blight. Both attack and spot the pods, penetrate them,- and enter the beans, remaining dormant over winter under the seed coats, where they can not be reached by disinfectants. ‘When the beans are planted = these ‘| diseases attack the young seedlings, causing a root rot and -blighting of stem and leaves, and if the weather 18 ‘cool and wet they spread again to the pods. Bacterial blight is conveyed by wind and other means to a greater extent than anthracnose and is less easily controlled, but clean seed and crop on will give best results. ©Ol4 bean ground should not be re- planted next year. As far as possible each farmer should save his own seed from his own farm.

"It gets ahead . in lawns that are in_poor condition ‘or latk vigor, - be- coming started in the bare spaces or where. the ., grass cover is thig.. The failure of the lawn may be due to ‘one or midre of several factors; lack of water, poor soil, poor ‘drainage, low grade -of seed, thin seeding, ir- regular ‘mowing or lack of fertilizer. A . select - bluegrass seed -weigliing eighteen -to twenty-two pounds per- bushel, is:after all the cheapest sort.

Dust Baths for Hens. Laying hens must have their daily dust bath if they are to lay the larg- est number of eggs through the winter months. - It is a very necessary lux- ury for them. By the use of the dust bath they are enabled to get rid of all mites and to remove all scales and dirt from their skin. . Lice and mites do their greatest’in. Jury to fowls at night while on the roost. -Instinctively they look for a place to dust in the moming., Do:not force your hens to dust in the drop- ping or: feed litter. During the sum- mer they will usually fing their own dusting - place such as the road or in the shade of trees around the but in the winter it must be provided for them. One good way is to nail an old box in one corner of the house. elevated above the floor so will not 70{ filled with straw or litter and_ put -in ‘six or eight .inch- es of dusting material. During mod- erate weather their box may be placed out in the run.
