SOAPS AS INSECTICIDES.
They Are Effective If the Soap Is Of
First-Class Quality-Make
Your Own Soap.

A communication from the New
York experiment station relative to
the quality of soaps for insecticides,
says:
Whale oil, or fish oil, soaps are
among the best of contact insecticides
if they are of good quality, since they
are inexpensive, easy to use, safe and
effective. In practice, however, they
have been found to give varying re-
suits, some lots Of the solutions made
from such soaps failing to kill many
of the same kind of insects that other
lots of the same apparent strength
destroyed completely. The continued
occurrence of such failures cast sus-
picion upon the soaps, and examina-
tons at the experiment station, by the
exact methods of the chemist, proved
that they vary to surprising extent.
The best sample contained four times
as much actual soap as the poorest
one, and one sample of certain brand
was only half as good a soap as an
other sample of the same brand from
different package. So unreliable
were these soaps that the best solu-
ton of the problem appeared to be for
the users to make the soap at nome,
if feasible, and a very few trials showed
the process of making to be very simple
and inexpensive.
The soap is made by thorough mixing
of easily obtained materials, without
heating. To make 10 pounds of soap,
containing 60 per cent. actual soap, re-
quires six pounds of caustic soda, %
pounds of fish oil and 11a gallons of
water. The soda is first dissolved in the
water and the oil then added gradually
with constant and vigorous stirring.
This soap can be made at cost of three
cents a pound or less. Used at the rate
of one pound to seven gallons of water,
the solution will destroy plant lice,
scales and other soft-bodied sucking in
sects without injury to foliage.

hints FOR THE DAIRY.

Wasteful feeding may mean too much
or too little.
Always skim sweet milk; never lei
cream thicken.
Cows should be MIXED with dry
hands and the udders should be washed
clean.
Provide milking stool with bot
tom to set the pail on for the boy. Don't
expect him to hold the pail between his
legs.
Improved machinery improves every
industry. The dairy COW is the most inn
portant of the machinery connected
with the dairy.
Cream is very perishable article
and must be kept under the most favor
able conditions if good butter is to be
made out of it.
A Missouri writer says: Missouri
has 100000 dairy cows. and has sun
shine, water, grass and feed enough to
support 100000 cows"
Any farmer that has ten or more cows
should have silo unless he is selling
his milk to some company that refuses
to take milk made out of silage.
Stable ventilation is best secured by
some well-constructed and easily oper-
ated device, rather than by loose boards
or accidental holes in the windows.

Another lemon pie was beginning to

laboratory. There was dough at the
bottom. The third lemon pie examined
was said to be tolerably good. The
much-abused mince pie escaped with
good reputation, but one of the two
pumpkin pies examined was said to be
old.

The Pntatn Scah.

Whether or not the potato scab can
ever be effectually removed from farm
ing, certain it is that every grower has
recourse to a remedy that will prevent
it from affecting the potatoes that he
grows for the current year at least.
While the scab fungus may never be
thoroughly removed from the soil the
seed can each year be so treated as to in
sure against an attack for the season.
Seed that is known to be infected
should be treated without question. and
even pure, clean seed that is to be plant
ed on Ian. supposedly free from the
scab should be treated as precaution.
The remedy is simple and cheap. A pint
of formalin, costing but a few cents, to
so gallons of water. IN which the tubers.
cut ready for planting. are dipped, and
you arc assured of a nice, clean, smooth
crop of tubers.

DIAGRAM OF THE GREENHOUSE. s
would take water too long to make the
trip with the houses 800 feet long. 1t
is hardly possible for farmer to make
a small greenhouse pay if his time is
worth anything unless he takes his pay
out in satisfaction, because the open
ing and closing of the ventilating sash
and attending the fire take more time
than most folks think, and the smaller
the house is the greater is the cost per
square foot Of roof in taking care OF
it. l would call them an expensive lux
ury for most farmers.
Almost any man who has gumptiOn
enough to want greenhouse could
build one by using hotbed sash for the
roof, supported by two rows of posts
for the outside walls and two rows OF
gas pipe posts inside; they would cause
less shade than wooden posts of equal
strength, and short gas pipe posts can
be used outside the boards along the
aisle by staying the posts with a wire.
Use one sash on the north slope and
two on the south slope, and enough more
by the side of these to make the house
the desired length.
Hot water is by far the best heat for
small house, and water heater such
as were used in railway cars, ought to
be large enough to do the business. The
piping must be arranged so that there
are no air pockets to check the circula-
ton of the water. The average winter
will talxe about 1h Mounds Of soft coal
per square foot of roof. A hillside will
do if it slopes south; then it would an
swer as a wind-break and not shade the
roof. Cold, windy days take the most
coal. BY using regular hotbed sash for
roof they could be taken off, after
danger of frost is past, and stored away
or piled and covered and the beds used
for garden during the summer. The
diagram shows end view of house.

THE VALUE OF GOOD COWS
Few Farmers Realize the Income
Which May Be Realized
from Them.

Prof. Eckels, in charge of the depart
ment Of dairy husbandry at the Uni
versity of Missouri, says of the value Of
good COWS:
Very few farmers realize the income
that can be had from good cow Tie
farmer who keeps e COW year to
raise SIS or $40 calf, usually thinks
he has done well, but his profits do not
compare with those of the dairyman.
Except with the high-priced registered
cattle, the milk, not the calf, is the
most valuable product of the COW.
The milk produced by the average
Missouri COW in year will sell for
about $50 at the creamery or when
made into first-class butter A good
cow of the dairy breed will make at
least $50 cash income every year.
have list of about 80 Missouri farm
ers who report cash income of $50
to $500 COW every year, and these
figures do not include the income from
the sale of calves. and pigs FED on the
skim milk. But says one, milking
is tremendous task As matter of
fact, it takes only 60 hours, worth Is
cents an hour, to milk COW twice day
for ten months.
Last year the cash income from the
herd of cattle on the college farm was
$3.50 cow for butter sold and $3.50
cow for milk, skinned milk and
calves, making a total income from
each COW of sos. This year the average
income per cow from the same source
will be over 500 for the entire herd of
20. These results do not come from
expensive or excessive treatment of any
kind. But they are the result of do
ing the right things at the right time
in the proper way"
