FLIES ON CALVES.

Relieving Young Animals From n
summer Torment.
During the hot summer months flies
are Il torment to young calves. The
Kansas State Agricultural college has
been experimenting and compromising
various substances in order to produce
an effective and economical mixture
which when applied to the surface of
an animal would ward off flies AS Il
result of these experiments it las sue
ceeded in producing the following fo9
mula, which seems to answer the pur
pose reasonably well: Resin, one AMI
one-half pounds; laundry soap, Two
cakes; fish oil, one-half pint; enough
water to make three gallons. Dissolve
the rosln in solution of soap and wa
ter by heating; add the fish oil and the
rest of the water. Apply with brush.
If 1t is to be used as spray add one
half pint of kerosene. This mixture will
cost from to 9 cents per gallon and
may be used on either calves or cows.
One-half pint Of this mixture Is CON
sidered enough for one application for
a cow. A calf of course would require
considerably less. 1t will be more eco
nomical to apply this on the parts of
the animal not reached by the tail. At
first it will perhaps be necessary to
give two or three applications per
week until the outer ends of hair be-
come coated with rosin. After that re-
touch those parts where the rosin is
rubbed off.

FERTILlzING TOBACCO.

yer and Tankage.
Director Charles Z. Thorne of ohio
makes some interesting statements
about the fertilizing of tobacco. While
they represent experience ia one region
only. being the result of work on the
state tobacco test farm, they may be Of
value to tobacco growers elsewhere.
AS a fertilizer for tobacco on the
soils of the Miami valley farmyard ma
nure occupies a leading position both
on account of its comparative cheap
ness and its great effectiveness, posi-
ton which would seem to justify the
giving of special attention to the pro-
duction and care of manure.
When manure is not attainable chem
ical fertilizers may be used with eX-
cellent temporary effect, but with re-
duction of net profit as compared with
that which it is possible to obtain by
the use of manure.
At the present stage of the work 1t
appears that the greatest total yield as
we'll as the greatest net profit has been
produced by fertilizer containing nj
trogen, phosphorus anG potassium in
approximately the same ratio to each
other in which they are found in farm
yard manure, although the cost of such
fertilizer is enormously increased by
reason OF the large quantity of nitro
gen required. Whether it may be pos
sible to reduce the amount of nitrogen
In the fertilizer through the growing of
clover or other legumnous crops in ro-
tation with tobacco remains yet to be
seen.
As a carrier of nitrogen sodium nj
trate appears to be much more effcc-
tive for tobacco than tankag e but tank
age is the material almost universally
employed for this purpose i'll the com
pounding of the ready mixed fertiliZ-
ers sold in Ohio. As the nitrogen in
these fertilizers costs the farmer as
much or more than that in sodium nj
trate, it would seem to be wise to pur-
chase and use the more effective ma.
