A Real Gas Heater
for Homes Without City Gas
Cool mornings and evenings, unusually cold, stormy
days, when the heating plant or stove are insufficient,
wherever quick, clean,healthful heat is required- that’s
the place for the
American Radiant Heater
It's a portable gas heater that you can carry to any
room in the house even while burning. No pipes, gas
hose or connections to bother with. Like the famous
ICitchenkook, it makes its own gas from gasoline.
Lights with a match, going full tilt in a minute, heat
i .'gulated as needed. You can’t appreciate the
. American Radiant Heater till you see it in operation.
Your request for a demonstration will not obligate
you to buy. •

•eui lo practk-ully all cucuuiber-grow-
!utc sections In {lie central and easier*
Itatea, can be largely controlled by
.’oliowlug certuln methods outlined by
tli* United Stales Department of Agrl-
.-uiture calculated to remove weeds
and other plants on which the disease
lives through the winter. lteceot
it tulles by the department have dem-
onstrated that the disease overwin-
ters In the seed or the roots of the
wild cucumber, milkweed, wild ground
.'berry, pokeweed. and catnip. Method*
»1 eradicating these hosts, tested and
recouimeuded by the department, are
discussed In Department Bulletin
1461 -D, Just Issued.
Isolate Cucumber Fields.
It Is recommended that the cucum-
oer fields be located at a distance
from the farm buildings and the vege-
table garden. Such Isolation Is Im-
portant because It has been found
that the wild cucumber, milkweed,
end ground cherry are commonly
found about the farm buildings and
lhut mosaic plants of these species
are more likely to occur near garden
plots us a result of earlier infection
from cultivated cucurbits.
If possible the field should be sur-
rounded by other cultivated crops,
since their cultivation will reduce the
number of wild hosts about the field.
It has also been found that fields so
situated are less likely to be Infested
with Insects thut carry und spread thej
disease.
Remove Obnoxious Plants.
All plants known to carry mosaic
over winter should be removed from (
(he field Itself und from all land with-
in a radius of 50 to 75 yards. In the
case of the wild cucumber, milkweed,1,
wild grouud cherry, and catnip, the
plants should be dug out If they are!
not too ubundunt, but It has been
found that If the shoots are pulled up
as fust as they appear the plants
eventually will die out. Where poke-
weed occurs It U best to cut down as
fur as possible Into the large roots
and cover the cut surface with salt.
If the field receives the clean cultiva-
tion that cucumbers require, many of
the wild hosts will he removed in the
process. The first eradication should
be made Just before planting, and the
field and vicinity should be Inspected
regularly thereafter at Intervals of
S to 10 days.
Since the disease Is carried from the
wild hosts to the cucumbers by In-
sects, the field should be sprayed or
dusted regularly In order to keep
down plant lice und cucumber beetles.

tained as long as the supply lasts, by

ment of Agriculture, Washington,

Charcoal Lessens Many
Troubles Among Poultry
Experience has taught us that If
charcoal Is kept before the poultry at
all times the sorts of many digestive
troubles will be lessened. If not en-
tirely avoided. A small hopper such
us Is used for the oyster shell should
be used for the charcoal, so thut the
fowls may pick at It at will. The
charcoal tends to sweeten the diges-
tive tract, thus doing away with
gases and preventing foods from
spoiling lu the crop Charcoal Is in-
expensive.
It does not pay to empty the wood
ashes in the poultry yard, as only n
very small part of this Is charcoal,
and the ash makes valuable fertilizer.
However, If the ashes are emptied In
the dust bath they are a great help
In ridding the fowls of lice, and at the
same time they will pick up what
charcoal Is contained therein.
Small chicks should have the char-
coal granuluted for them as they are
unable to pick up the larger pieces.
Solis, like toois, wear out They
must be renewed.
