HOrn-FIY Remedies.

During the past year the department.
OF entomology of the Kansas Expert
ment Station made extensive trials OF
number of horn-ny traps and repel-
lent mixtures for the purpose of find
ing some means of furnishing protec-
ton to stock from the horn-hy at a
reasonable cost. In no cases were the
lly-traps effective, but with the mix
lures more satisfactory results were
obtained.
One OF the best remedies on the mar
ket, in order TO be reasonably effective.
had to be applied every day, and In
such large quantities as to make a cost
Of 20 cents for each application to one
cow--a sum greatly exceeding in value
all the benefits derived from the use
OF the mixture. or number of reme-
dies of our own compromising that
were tested we have selected one
which for cheapness and effectiveness
seems deserving OF more extensive
trial. 1t is not as satisfactory as we
would like 1t to be. but IL Is consii-
erably cheaper, az effective and often
more lasting than iish-oil, which In
our opinion Is one Of the best OF the
horn-fy remedies. 1t Is made as fol-
lows: Pulverized resin, 2 parts, by
measure; soap shavings, part; water.
u part; fish-oil. | part; oil OF tar,
part: kerosene, l part; water, parts.
Place the resin, soap shavings, " part
of water and fsh-oil together In Il
receptacle and boil till the resin is dis
solved Then add the parts of water,
following with the oil 6f tar mixed
with the kerosene. Stir the mixture
we'll and allow 1t to boil for fifteen
minutes. When cool the mixture Is
ready for use, and should be stirred
frequently while being applied. The
mixture costs about 80 cents gallon.
From one-eighth 10 one-half pint !,
sufficient for one application. To apply
the mixture, brush is essential. We
find nothing more satisfactory than n
large painters brush. At first 1t Is
well to make an application for two
or three days in succession. After
ward an application every other daJ
will suffice. Cows, in standing In
water and mud, running through
weeds and brush and rubbing against
trees, often remove some of the mix
ture. In this case 1t Is well to re-
touch the unprotected parts. 1t Is
often more economical not to attempt
TO protect the entire animal, but only
those parts not reached by the head
or tail This mixture is very sticky
and for this reason is not recon-
mended for horses. 1t Is perfectly
safe. and in no case has 1t appeared
detrimental to the health Of the ami

Poultry Notes.

Some OF the large egg dealers oil
Chicago and other cities express some
dissatisfaction at the outlook for the
packed egg business. They claim that
the meat-packers are trying to get
hold of the packed-egg business, and
are manipulating freight rates in
way that places the egg dealer at
disadvantage. They also anticipate
very large egg production for the sum
mer, and believe that the number OF
eggs brought forward in excess OF cur
rent requirements will be such as TO
threaten the stability OF the market
when the said eggs are taken out OF
storage this fall.
More care should be exercised by
poultrymen in the selection OF breed
ing stock. Usually the eggs that are
set are taken as they fall from the
whole mixed flock. Take an ordinary
flock OF fowls. 1t is possible to pick
out one-fourth OF them that are ex-
ceptional in appearance, and apparent
vigor. The same applies to flock of
pure-bred fowls, but 1t applies still
more to the common farm fowl. 1t
takes but little effort to separate Tho
desirable from the undesirable types.
This would result in an Improvement
every year.

Professor Otis OF the Kansas Agri-
cultural College says that there are
in that state over 6S4,000 cows. and
intimates that about IA per cent Of
them are not paying expenses. Thus
If $4,000 of the poorest cows in Kan
sas were sent to the slaughter pens
at once the Kansas farmers would be
ahead the beef value of the cows, for
their value for dairy purposes Is moth
ing. 1t would be well if every farmer
that keeps a cow would find out
whether the said cow has dairy
value or not. The opinions of Profes-
sor Otis were formed on native cows
used at the station for experimental
purposes.

Where alfalfa can be successfully
raised it should be grown for use in
the dairy. 1t is a very serYiceable
plant for the production of protein,
and is far more valuable in its pro-
tein contents than most of our tables
show. 1t is generally figured that al
falfa hay contains 1916 per cent OF
digestible protein, but it sometimes
greatly exceeds that. At the Kansas
Agricultural College good alfalfa may
analysed as high as Is per cent Of
digestible protein, which is far in ex-
cess of ordinary bran. This would in
dictate that a ton of alfalfa contains
digestible nutrients far in excess of
its commercial value. The lesson 10
be drawn is, that alfalfa should, be
freely used where easily obtainable.
The makers and consumers Of dairy
products everywhere should make a
vigorous fight against the use OF any
chemicals in butter and milk. The
large prevalence of disease like
Bright's disease is believed to be due
to the adulteration of food. The gen.
eral public has sunk into state OF
carelessness in the matter, and take
the authorizations as a matter OF
course. Farmers are in a position to
exert a salutary influence on the sit
uation. When a druggist advertises
drugs for the preservation of milk and
butter, he should be given to under
stand by the farmers that patronize
him, that he is making war on the
public health.
In feeding whey to calves care
should be exercised to prevent over
feeding, as this will sicken the calves.
The first feeds should be light in
quantity. Some feeders mix little
oil meal and shorts with the first feeds
of whey, about two quarts of the lat
ter being fed at first. This amount is
increased only gradually till it

CRY 1t is better than to overfeed and
bring on other and more serious
troubles. In addition to this the calves
may have access to corn and oats as
we'll as hay. 1t is best not to begin
to feed the whey till the calves are
over four weeks old.
Just now the steer is having his day

ably is the largest cash disbursement
ever made at any one time on the stock
OF single corporation. Standard oil
was quoted on the curb today at 538
