-Cinch bugs have done great dam
age to crops in some counties in CEN
trail Tennessee, making clean sweep
in certain localities, and the commits
sion of agriculture has decided that
the only remedy is to infect them with
some deadly disease. Infected bugs
are to be brought from Kansas and
Illinois and distributed among the
swarms of the pest in Tennessee, in
the hope that the disease will spread.
This Is the first experiment of the kind
In Tennessee, and the result is looked
for with much interest as it is not GER
tain that particular forms of insect dis
ease will prove equally deadly in all
localities and climates.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

When a COW converts her food into
int instead of milk, she is no COW for the
dairy.
1t will pay to keep good cows to sell.
There is always brisk demand for good
cows and always limited supply.
Mixing meal with wet cut feed en-
Hbles the animal to chew it in the cut
md thus comply with the demands Of
nature.
Test the new mich cow, if you test
no other, for she may not be worth
keeping and ought to be got rid of at
the start.
tits claimed that ripe, mellow apples
can be fed to mich cows with greater
profit than will come from turning
them into cider.
We do not approve of feeding slops
to cows. Give them what water they
want, and what feed they need, and let
them make their own slops.
There is great difference between
feeding q cow generously and feeding
her high. High feeding will probably
ruin her. 1t is worse than low feeding,
n good deal.

he needs for home consumption, ought

by the general use of cellar as de-
scribed above, certain conditions must
be observed. Dampness must not be
allowed to permcate the cellars con-
tents or molds permitted to form. The
contents Of the pork barrel, the washed
cans or other material, must not be
allowed to give off offensive odors or
the odors may saturate the cream dur
ing churhing. 1t will be observed that
the milk table is convenient to both
stairs, also to the churn. If thought
best, light partition can be made to
separate the churn power from the
rest Of the cellar, but II dog or other
stock power is used for the motor and
well brushed before entering the Gel
lar, no trouble will ensue. No breeze
should be allowed to enter the cellar,
and to guard against this, heavy cur
tains should be hung at the windows
hnd tightly closed during the preva-
lence Of heavy winds and to shut out
the direct rays of the sun. In the
spring remove all vegetables as soon
as possible, clean the cellar bottom
thoroughly, whitewash the walls and
keep the air sweet and pure. If milk
is spilled on the earth or woodwork,
remove at once nd do not allow it to
contaminate the atmosphere. Ven

sold, not thu same 20 cows were in the
herd throughout the year. There are
generally, also, three or four dry cows
in the herd.
From the summary it will be seen
that for the number of cows actually

per COW, The cost of food per COW was
1878, and the cost of labor was SCI. SO,
making total expense per cow in milk

Guided considerable amount of exper-
mental work, and also the labor of
taking care of dry cows, heifers, calves
and bulls. 1t also includes the cost OF
retailing the milk. The cost for food
only relates to the cows In milk.
Assuming s.s pounds per gallon of
milk, the cost of food per gallon of milk
il So cents, the cost of labor per gallon
of milk s,5 cents,while the average price
received for milk on this basis was 20.5
cents. 1t will be seen that the average
cost of a gallon Of milk retailed to con-
sumers was 1871 cents. The real cost,
however Is somewhat greater than
this, because more than SO pounds are
required for gallon of milk when
peddled to the consumers. 1t is worthy
of notice that the work was all done by
