DAIRY PESTS.

How to Get Rid of Them.

insects That Trouble the Cow and
How to Get Rid of Them.
One of the best lectures given to the
winter dairy course students at Cor
nell university was by Professor NJ. v.
Slingerland upon insects, in which
dairymen are interested. The horn fly
sometimes causes serious annoyance to
cows. It looks like the house fly, but
is smaller. These flies cluster upon the
horn, but do not eat the horn, as many
people seem to think. They suck blood
from the anknal. The flies breed in
fresh cow manure. The eggs hatch,
and the maggots grow into flies within
two weeks. Thus there may be sew
eral broods, and they may become a
serious pest by their rapid increase in
numbers.
One of the best remedies is to use
repellent spray. This may be made
from one pound soap dissolved in one
gallon hot water, which is thoroughly
mixed with two gallons kerosene Oil.
This should then be diluted at the rate
of one part of the solution to six parts
water Crude petroleum is also good
to drive off these flies as well as to kill
certain other insect pests, such as lice.
The OK warble fly is the insect which
is responsible for the large Jumps or
punches on the backs of cattle in sum-
mer. This fly resembles the house fly,
but is larger. Its eggs are laid on the
hairs on the legs. 1t used to be thought
that the eggs hatched near where they
were laid, on the back, and the grubs
bored in through the hide, but now it is
believed that the eggs are licked off
the legs into the mouth, Matching in
the alimentary canal, and the grubs
work from there out as far as the skin,
where they grow and make the objec-
tionable Jumps, each grub having
hole through which it may breathe.
One remedy is to smother the grub
by plugging up the hole in the skin
by the use of crude petroleum or other
greasy substance. Axle grease will
do. When they are large they may
be squeezed out. These insects have
only one brood a year. The common
house fly is responsible for a great
deal of trouble in dairies as we'll as
in homes. 1t is carrier of bacteria.

MARKETING POULTRY.
The Farmer Should Pay More Atten-
ton to That Part of His Work.

The Farmer Should Pay More Ateen-
ton to That Part of His Work.
If they could only be made to realize
1t, the farmer and his wife would find
it every bit as much to their advantage
to attain a reputation for furnishing
the best eggs and chickens as well as
the best milk and butter, says Turf,
Farm and Home.
There is always room at the top, you
know, and that is certainly true with
regard to poultry products of a supe-
rior quality. The farm that has a rep
utation for furnishing superior milk
and butter experiences no difficulty in
disposing of the product, usually at
a premium above the ordinary market
prices. The same is equally true of
first class poultry and eggs, because it
is worth something to customer to
know to an absolute certainty that his
eggs are going to be fresh laid and that
he need not procure an ak with which
to carve the chicken that he has
bought.
In view of the enormous profits of
hucksters at most seasons of the year,
the farmer, unless his location is very
remote, can usually dispose of his poul-
try product to the best advantage by
selling direct to private customers in
a nearby town. These customers can
readily be obtained by offering in the
first place only the very highest grade
products and then keeping all goods up
to this standard.
1t will be found that once a reputa-
ton for selling strictly high class poul-
try and eggs is established it can be
lost only through neglect and inatten-
ton to business Private customers
thus secured and assured of securing
only the best at all times will be per-
fectly willing to pay the highest mar
ket prices.

Influence of Soil on Color.

The soil will to a considerable extent
influence the color of the legs and
beak Birds running on good grass
land and fed freely on yellow corn will
usually have yellow legs and heak. if
of the yellow legged varieties Birds
from the same strain running on
sandy, dry soil, even on the same
ration, or ranging on dry alkali soils,
will frequently have light colored legs
and beak. Feeding corn is great
help toward getting desired color in
beaks and legs. but a good run on
fresh grass land and opportunity to
run in the grass when the dew is on
it will do more to put rich color into
the legs than anything else.

Tribute to the Ad.

The late William johnson of
Brooklyn, the owner of Printers
Ink, was for many years leading
light of the advertising business
An advertisement writer said of
him the other day:
''Mr. johnson had a stock of ad-
vertising stories on the tip of his
tongue. He used to tell them to
young solicitors. He claimed that
they were useful in getting business.
Zone of his favorite stories was
about two little children. They
came to their mother one evening
and asked if they might play store.

must remember that the baby is

BUTTER AND CHEESE.

There is usually good market, ever
in small town, for cottage cheese
good way of using some of the SOU
milk, but do not let the milk get boiling
hot or even much scalded, or the euro
will be tough and will not make sucf
nice, creamy cheese.
Best Way to Store Butter.
In a series of experiments with pack
ages in which to store butter it was
shown that the tubs coated inside with
paraffin held butter most perfectly
All untreated tubs became moldy, even
including those scalded with hot brine
soaked in pure brine and in brine con
tanning a strong solution of formalin
All the tubs were filed with butter
from the same churning and kept in
the same manner.
Recipe For Cream Cheese.
Here is an English recipe for making
cream cheese: Take a quart of cream
or if not desired very rich add thereto
one pint of new milk, warm it in hot
water till about 90 degrees, add a ia
blespoonful of rennet, let it stand till
thick, then break it slightly with a
spoon and place it in frame in which
has previously been put fine canvas
cloth, press it slightly with a weight,
let it stand a few hours, then put a
finer cloth in the frame. A little DOW
dered salt may be put over the cloth.
1t will be fit for use in day or two.
Cheesy Taste In Butter.
The cheesy taste in butter is due to
the imperfect removal of the butter
milk by washing. If the churning is
stopped when the butter is in small
grains and before it is gathered into a
large compact mass, the buttermilk
drawn off and the butter well washed
while in this state, the buttermilk is
then effectually removed.
Improving Butter Quality.
The dairyman and farm wife who
often find the butter quality injured
might keep in mind this list of ways
by which the injury often results: By
using improper vessels for holding the
milk when milking. By using milk
too soon after the birth Of the calf.
By failure to properly wash and scald
and sterilize all vessels coming in con-
tact with milk. By giving the cows
bad water and having a disagreeable
odor or an unhealthy quality. By al
lowing the cows to wallow in the mud
or in water in the summer, thereby
coating the udder with dirt containing
noNious germs which enter the udder
the teat and abide there for
long periods. By neglecting the sur
roun6irgs of the stable. allowing the
manure to rot in the immediate vicin-
ity or permitting a mudhole before
the stable door or about tka water
trodEh.

They Walk.d Back.

Admiral Schley was talking about
war and peace at Port Deposit, Md.
"War must still go on,'' he said.
Mankind is not yet highly enough
developed to be peaceful. Yet / am
in favor Of peace societies and peace
congresses, for these things help
the cause Of peace along. They
bring the day of universal peace a
little nearer"
The admiral mused a little; then
he resumed:
eyes, we will have universal
peace some day, for we all love it in
our hearts. The bravest fighters in
their hearts love peace with incred-
ible devotion-with devotion as in
credible as that which the pigeons
of Newark had for their home.
''There was a Newark man who
kept pigeons. One day he sold a
half dozen birds to a Philadelphian.
But the pigeons loved their former
home, and the first time they were
let out they flew straight back to
it, covering the fifty miles in no
time
<The Philadelphian got them
again, and this time he clipped their
wings so that they could not fly,
but he left their hutch open, and
they disappeared. Nothing was seen
of them for some days. Then, thin
and dusty and footsore, they limped
slowly into the old home in New
ark.
'They had walked the whole way
back"

As to Roasters,

For roasting, a young fowl about full
grown, but still soft meated, is used.
and to roast satisfactorily it must be
moderately fat. Roasters are roughly
claSSed as small roaSterS" and large
roasters." The greatest demand is for
small roasters. weighing four or five
pounds each, though the demand for
large roasters. weighing eight or nine
pounds each. is steadily increasing Vel
low skin and yellow legs are more gen
orally demanded than a white skin and
dark legs.
