ROWN RUST OF OATS AND THE COMMON BUCKTHORN.

i

lie

(Experimental Farms Note.) The stem rust of cereals, which causes immense losses ln sOmB iyeare, is well known. The crown irust of oats is not so well known. nor do the ‘losses caused by it at- tract much attention, as they arc not usually so severe as in the case of the stem rustf Crown rust is. however, common, and it seems to hc growing ‘more severe, especial- ly in Western Canada. it attacks the loaves of oats, killing them and thus reducing the vigor of [llfllllfi and lessening we Yleld- The rust appears as small orange red- dish masses on tho leaves of oats in the su-mmer. Later tho black sing» rtppcars, on the dying leave-s and gives them a dnrk or black op- pvcruncc.

Just as the stem rust of whonl. may live on the barbcrry. ho the crown rust of oats attacks the common buckthorn in the spring and produces yellowish masses of spore-s (seeds) ihnt blow about and carry the rust to oats. Last year in Western Canada. owing to fav- orable conditions, the spring spore stage of the crown rust was vcry abundant on the buckthorns in some dlstricun-oo abundant that they apeared yellow even at some distance. A very heavy attack of crown rust on oats followed, kill- ing practically al-l the leaves of the oats much before ripening. In con- sequence the yield must have been much lees than ii‘ no rust were present. Many experiments in the greenhouse have shown conclusive- ly that the rust on the common

bnckthorn rend-ily infects oats. In these experiments rusted leaves of the buckthorns were placed

above oats growing in pols, so that the rust on the buckthorn leaves would fol-l on the grain the pots. Then oats were then sprayed with water and placed in very moist alr. In every case the oats became heav- ily rusted with the crown rust. The common huckthorn is a shrub frequently used for hedge‘; and for ornamental purposes. lit is valuable for these purposes, but there are many other shrubs that can be used which do not spread rust. The buckthorn is hardy and can readily become established. Should it become general, either from extensive planting and spread from seed, it would cause very serious injury to the oat crop. The native buckthorn in Canada is ai- tacked by a rust, but this goes chiefly to swamp grasses and does not attack oats.

There is no doubt the common rust of oats is a serious enemy of the oat crop, killing the leaves and reducing the yield. There is also no doubt that the common buckithorn helps -in the overwinter- lug and spread of this rust. The common buckthorn, therefore, should not be planted or be allow- ed to grow .in countries whereosts are a valuable crop. The common barberry and the common buck- thorn should be destroyed in grain growing regions.

WEIGHT IN THE WORK HORSE.

There are not a few farmers who hold the opinion that heavy draft horses are not so well adapt- ed for farm work as the lighter type. it is evident that the men who hold this opinion have never had the experience oi owning or working the type of draft horse that carries his weight in a light- nome manner. There are heavy draft horses that are not good horses. But it is a false deduction to conclude that all heavy horses are not suitable for the farm. There are strains of draft horses that can carry their-ton weigh: in as lightsome and sprightly a manner as the 1400-lb. horse. Both the heavy horse and his lighter

competitor on the farm may accomplish the work equally well, but it is the heavy horse that will ultimately win out by giving his labor lfrec, as well as an addition- al money profit in the bands of the owner when he sells him.

Heavy Horses Best Sellers

Unless a horse has weight he meets a very restricted market. The lighter horse docs not provide his labor so profitably as the heavier horse because he does not command so ready a sale in lllt‘ best market. liere is the situation that at present exists in tho market end of the business. it is, the economic policy of business firms in cities to haul nil that they can with one team, one wagon nudf onc man. This ncccssitiatcs e. big heavy wagon calls for a big heavy team Weight in a farm horse is an asset, but it is not enough for the‘ horse, to simply mention weight and then stop. A ion weight of horse flesh on the scales will not avail without the shapy activity of tho gelding that can walk and wheel big loads with case. The- good gelding must have constitu- tion characterized by sufficient length of neck to give him style and presence, he must have u bal anced general conformation, have muscle in abundance, with sufflo ient range of body to permit oi some step when on the move. He must also bc placed squarely on is legs and weigh around 1,800 pounds, this weight being due to bone and muscle.

There is no use talking about a ton weight in a horse, if 400 pounds of this is excess fat. ncnrly all of which has to conic off before the horse can do his bcst. Weight of this variety docs not avail with tbc big lubberly work horse that is heavy on the bit and ungainly in his actions. Weight is essential, but does not of itself constitute the ideal work horse; activity is also required. The gross load pillied

by a team of city horses is common ly six to eight tons. Teams

He weighs his wheat, oats, pigs, cattle, h o r s c s. clover and seed- evcrything that means money-and uses the handy scale as a truck as well.

Mr. Johnson is not alone. Mr. Alec Backus, of Simcoc, Ont., says his Rcnfrew Truck Scale sav-‘ ed him three bushels on one load of wheat and 80 pounds on one lot of hogs.

and spend much time in backing swsy from loading plstfonns. ln the perfor- msnce of such platforms. in tho performance of such tasks weight is a distinct asset. Quality Rules tho Prloo

The desirable draft horse there- fore is s combination of weight and quality. Now. this term quality is one that is in very common use but if you ask a number of horse men what they mean by it you nre sure to get a variety or answers. Quality is hard to define. Two in- dividual horses can lac-taken ‘as an example showing equal quality, but one of them on account of much bctter conformation, more style and action. may be worth twice as much as the other. It is an easier matter to explain what constitutes quality than it "is "to give n concise and comprehensive definition of what it is. But it is‘ well known to observant horse- men that what is found in regard to quality in the bones of a horse will be found in all the tissues of the animal's body.

The quality of the hair on the legs of a horse, that is whether it is fine or coarse denotes the qual- ity of bone the animal carries. Whether or not there is a lllfflcl connection, the fact reniains_that a. horse with fine, silky bair. 0n its logs shows hard. flat. wlintY bone, while on the other hand. tho horse with coarse hair, knott- ed and curly, generally is set upon round, coarse, meaty legs. One does not find a horse with coarse bono and fine skin and hail‘. or coarse skin accompanied with fine hone. if the horse is fine or has ,qunlliy, the Inuscles. tendons, ligaments. skin. hoof, hair and all the other tissues which enter into ills composition are equally fine or arc of equal quality. The quality if n horse's bone may be perfect. but tho bones may be of disprop- ortionntc length or other defect- ive form or faulty relationship one to the other and so make his conformation very imperfect. A horse with a high degree of qual- ity nmy be so lacking in substance Jl‘ so imperfect in conformation as to impair his power for the perfor- znation as to impair his power for tho performance of work requir- ing endurance and speed. A horse znnnot hove too much quality pro- viding it is combined with suffic- ient substance for the purpose for which he is required. A high dc- zrcc of quality and sufficient sub- lUiIlCO are most important attribut- zs in contributing to perfection in horse flesh.

The draft horse without the pmlity as has been already defin- wd is inclined to fil about the skin if the fetlocks, to show windgalls

which extend up the sheaths of his back tendons, and to ‘have ‘locks that are inclined to be puffy throughout. If he gcts a bruise or injury or any kind to

the skin of the legs. the conse- Sianding in tho stable too much 1uont swelling is apt [to remain. rcadily produces stocking of tho legs. There is a predisposition to

' lffeasy legs. The foot arc inclined

lo be flat. large and easilybrnlsed. Those tendencies show coarseness of tissue and low organization, n zueagro blood supply and inactive nutrition. The horse of high ClitF-S quality of hone oven through he has to carry tho heavy weight ncc ossnry for tho (lrnft horse, (loos not no rcndily fall a victim to ihoso troubles. It is tho heavy coarse boned animal that has helped to popularize tho erroneous opinion that heavy horses are not suitnhlo on the farm, a fallacy of view that ls robbing tho farming industry of the medium to make money on tho horse end of the business.

A good method of saving minut- os is to have a wcll-oqnipilod ro- pair shop on the farm. When some- lllllli-Z llffiflkfi. it can b0 rcpairotl during the noon hour _or in the evening. This frequently saves many a trip to town.

Tho shop should contain n visc, post drill, anvil and forge, solder- ing outfit, shoe repair kit, a good supply of bolls of all descriptions, an assortment of rivets, sonic wrenches and pliers.

Tho Hope Farm man is qulto correct when ho says that tho consumption of potatoes for food, in New York for instance. has been greatly restricted ovor since the high prices of 1919-1920, says the Rural New York Journal. And with good reason too. As n matter of fact—peoplc in town and count- ry, were eating too many potatoes. it was thought that a meal-dinn- er without potatfics was do dinn- er at all. whereas other vegetab- les are found to be every bit as good. cxccpt that they nro good- what is called _a "filler." Potatoes appear to be more of n "fillor" to supply bulk or roughage. Soups and fricassosos supply "fillers" or bulk, as well as potatoes and much more healthful.
