The American Agriculturist says:
"Those who want to make dairy cows do
their best, must, III some way, provide
clover pasture III summer aud clover hay
in winter The COW is doing hard work
when she converts her food into milk, and
ought not to be required to hustle much
for her living If 1T takes her all day TO
get three square meals, she cannot do
what she womld really like TO do in the
milk-producing line, but when she stands
half-deep in fragrant clover and has only
to take few nips for IL well balanced
ration and then lies down with grunt of
content and meditatively chews her cud
she Will do justice TO her pedigree and
show whet she was made for. Clover ssed
high and likely to be higher, but clover
seed is the one thing that the progressive
farmer must have, no matter what it costs.
If he grows his own seed, so much the
better, but he must SOW it. if be has to
buy al the seedsmen's prices.
Home, Field and Forum: Squashes,
pumpkins and cucumbers would grow
nicely almost anywhere if the bugs and
beetles would let them alone. But as
soon as the first leaves unfold, the large
black squash bugs and the small yellow
spotted and striped beetles attack them
en- masse, and it is the exception when Il
vine survives We learn that the Okla
homa Experiment Station has begun an
extensive experiment to determine the
best means of controlling these enemies.
1t is too early for a report, but up to date
insects have been most effectively fought
with weak kerosene emulsion. the recipe
used is as follows: Dissolve twelve
ounces hard soap in six quarts hard water
and bring it to boil Take from the fire
and slowly add three quarts kerosene ard
quarter ounce Of Paris green. Thor
oughly agtate the mixture till a creamy
emulsion is formed. If spraying pump
is used, the liquid should be simply
pumped back into the receptacle. Dilute |
the emulsion made TO eigh. gallons, using |
lukewarm water This should be spriukled |
or sprayed upon the vines morning or |
evening. \ small quantity will DO the |
work.
