Spread Manure Quickly 
Manure does the most good when 
hauled and spread as quickly as it 
is made. That’s why the manure- 
spreader should be used every few 
days. 
Tent Caterpillars 
Many folks pick off egg masses in 
the fall to rid their trees of this 
pest. But early spring, when_the 
nests are small and caterpillars 
still young, is the time to rid the 
premises. Burning is all right for 
single trees. But where burning is 
a hazard, spray with lead arsenate 
—2 large, level tablespoons to 1 
gallon of water. 
Chopping Fodder Kills 
Corn-Borers 
Chop the fodder fine... it will 
work! Cutting the corn very low 
helps to remove the_ hibernating 
borers from the fields. Leave hardly 
any stubble if possible. Where using 
the stalks as feed or bedding, shred 
with cutters set as finely as pos- 
sible to destroy all the borers. 1 
inch lengths recommended. 
Fire Prevention ... ALWAYS 
Inspect premises often. Keep light- 
ning rods properly grounded. Re- 
place inflammable wood shingles 
with fire-resistant roofing. Inspect 
electrical equipment. Keep cords 
in repair. Allow no frayed 
cords. Store gasoline safe distance 
from buildings—in metal contain- 
ers. Allow no rubbish near barn. 
Destroy oily rags. Don’t allow 
smoking in barn or near combus- 
tible materials. 
Burning Stumps 
In fall or early winter bore 1 or 
2-inch hole in stump, depending on 
its size—and about 18 inches deep. 
Place one or two ounces salt peter 
in hole. Fill hole with water and 
plug it tight. Next spring take 
out plug, pour in about a gill of 
kerosene and light it. Stump will 
smoulder, without blazing, to its 
roots, ‘and leave nothing but ashes. 
FARM FACT: A grain-blower ele- 
vator operated by a 2-h.p. motor 
saves 3 to 4 men at threshing time 
on the owner’s farm.
