At times fleas, especially the dog
and cat flea, becomes household
pest. The United States Division OF
Entomology recommends thorough
sweeping and cleaning Of floors and
walls, the disuse of permanent carpets
and mattings and their replacement
with rugs, which are to be removed
and beaten at frequent intervals. It
is also recommended by this division
that infested carpets and other ma
terial be busted with pyrethrum pow
der or sprinkled with benzine, and
that this substance be also applied to
floors and infested rooms. The thor
ough scrubbing with hot soapsuds is
recommended by the division as the
last resort.
The Scotland Experiment Station
says that 1t is desirable to cleanse all
dog kennels with lime-wash, to wash
the dogs and cats with soapsuds, and
then sprinkle them thoroughly with
pyrethrum powder. The use of cre-
olinated water in 10 per cent. solu-
tion was also found very effective In
ridding houses Of fleas and in destroy
ing these insects on dogs and cats.
The New Hampshire Station advises
the use Of creolin. 1t was found that

Many Of the farmers are of the
opinion that cotton seed should not be
fed to cattle. The results of the ex-
periments conducted by our stations
show that as much as six pounds Of
raw cotton seed may be fed to milch
cattle without injury to the cows or
the quality Of the butter. Butter made
from the cows fed on cotton seed
scored SO points. that from corn-and-
cob meal SO points.
There is no reason why we can not
grow plenty of cowpea hay and lespe-
deza and other good hays to mix with
our cotton seed and obtain the most
satisfactory results from feeding the
seed on our farms.

The North Carolina Station says:
"The results of the two years exper-

grown in the same or nearly the same
latitude as that in which 1t is to be
planted will give the best results.
and that seed grown in the neighbor-
hood where they are to be planted are
preferable to those grown farther
north or farther south"
The North Dakota Station says:
"The best corn for a given locality in
that state is usually variety which
has grown and ripened seed for the
longest period of years in that locality.
provided 1t has been kept pure and true
to type and adapted by selection to the
