begin to knaw into the apple. In
spraying for this insect then, the idea
is to fill the calyx cup with an arsen-
icaI spray while the apples are still
upright and the calyxes are wide open.
Arsenate of lead, Paris green or arsen-
ate of lime are all good in this case.
The proper way to make arsenate Of
lime, which is the cheapest of the ar
senioal insecticides, is as follows:
White arsenic, 1 pound.
Crystal sal soda, pounds.
Water, gallon. ~
Boil the above ingredients in an
iron kettle, which must be used for
no other purpose, for twenty minutes,
until dissolved. This is a stock solu-
ton, and is arsenate of soda. It should
be put away labeled poison" When
ready to spray take three or four
pounds of good stone lime, and while
shaking add to the lime one to two
pints of the above mixture. Pour the
lime as now prepared into the spray
tank containing the forty or fifty gal
ions of water or Bordeaux mixture,
and a good spraying compound is the
result. It is always advisable to use
Bordeaux mixture with arsenical
sprays, because one thereby kills
fungus diseases as we'll as insects.
For the proper making Of Bordeaux
mixture write to the Division of Plant
Pathology, University Farm, st: Paul,

Clover for Seed
Is Profitable.
BY A. c. Army, Minnesota Agri-
cultural College.

Glover has come in Minnesota to
stay. 1t benefits the soil. 1t is one
OF the cheapest and best feeds that
can be grown. 1t works in we'll with
the short rotations best suited to di-
versifed farming in Minnesota. It's
high value has been demonstrated,
No other one thing will do more to
encourage clover raising for hap, pas
ture, for a green manure crop than
to enable any farmer that wants it
to get pure. live clover seed at rea-
sonable price. Minnesota is we'll
adapted to the growing of clover seed
This is especially true of the northern
part Of the state, where the crop is
practically sure one. The cost Of
producing an acre OF clover for seed,
including land rental at $3.50 per acre,
has been found to be about $3.50.
With yield Of two bushels per acre
the clover seed crop is a profitable
one at the present prices of clover
seed. Two or three times this yield
IS often secured. which makes the
growing of clover for seed a profitable
undertaking. Low yields cannot in ali
cases be avoided. They may be due
to poor soil conditions or to adverse
weather conditions when the clover is
poisoning. Cold. wet weather may
prevent the plant from Towering
properly or bees from working and
cross pollenating the flowers, which
Is necessary for best results in seed
production.
With good weather conditions and
plenty of bees to bring about cross
pollenation, seed may not be set at
all on account of part of the flower

sect, the clover seed nudge; or, if the

increase the relative percentage of
desirable seed ears. ..
A soil rich in humus is the one i'm
portant factor in getting large yields.
A fine, firm seed bed is secured by
disking, then narrowing with a slant
tooth harrow. Extra time in prepar-
ing the seed bed is we'll spent, for if
the plants do not get we'll started in
the beginning their producing power
is lessened. The roots must be in
touch with soil particles at all times
to get the plant food necessary for
building up a vigorous plant. This is
difficult in a poorly prepared seed bed.
The depth to plant varies with the
season and soil conditions. Under
normal conditions two and one-half
inches is proper depth. Under con-
ditions of sandy, loose or drouthy soil,
plant deeper to get the seed in touch
with moisture, or so prepare the seed
bed as to cause the moisture to rise
nearer the surface. In other words,
create dust mulch. If, on the other
hand, the soil is heavy, close or wet,
shallower planting is to be recon-
mended. And in the latter case avoid
packing the soil over the seed. In the
former case, firming the soil about the
seed is nightly Importantly. P. Bull,

around in place, after the pail has
been removed, and the shelf upon
which the milk sheet is fastened is
closed. making the cabinet very tight.
The closed cabinet keeps out the flies
and the dirt. When closed there is
very little room taken up in the barn.
The dairy division, University Farm,
st. Paul, Mimi, has arranged to have
these outfits made to supply farmers
at actual cost The outfit is complete
as shown with the exception of the
milk pail hanging on the scales. The
30 pound scales shown are very handy
indeed, not only for weighing milk,
but for weighing out feed as we'll.
After the COW has been MIXED the
pail is hung on the spring balances
and the weight recorded.
After recording the weight, uni
form sample of milk should be OBJ
tanned. Stir the milk well with a
small dipper from bottom to top, as
some of the fat globules come to the
top very soon after milking is finished.
Corrosive sublimate tablets are placed
in the sample bottles, or a small
amount Of potassium bichromate, to
preserve the milk until it is tested.
The dairy division has found that
very accurate results can be obtained
by taking nights and mornings weigh
ing once a month, composite sam
pie of these two weighings being made
to :. find the butter fat contents. If
weighed and sampled only one day out
of the month, care should be taken
that regularity in the time of milking
is practiced. The dairyman should
not milk one morning at 4:30 and the
next morning wait until or 8 o'clock.
Not only is it necessary to milk reg
ularly to get an accurate sample, but
COWS will not do well with any other
way of handling-G. P. Grout, Mime

ease by direct Inflammation of the
bowels due to chemical irritation. Pos
.sibly these chemicals in the swill may
simply irritate and reduce the vitality
of the membrane lining the. digestive
organs for invasion by germs which
otherwise could not produce disease.
A case of swill barrel cholera has
recently come to the attention of the
writer. Mr.. B, farmer living in
Southwestern Minnesota, lost fifty
nine out of sixty hogs. The one hog
which did not die was kept in a pen
adjoining the yard where sick hogs
were kept and with every opportunity
for transferring the infection, if there
had been infection, from the yard to
the pen. The ffty-nine hogs were fed
sour buttermilk from local cream
cry. The buttermilk had been kept in
a wooden tank, the sides of which
were green with mold.
Nearby neighbors who did not use
this buttermilk lost no hogs.
Moral: Clean out and scald your
swill tank as often as necessary and
give the interior of 1t good sun bath
once In while. '-.

SWlLL BARREL CHOLERA.
This Disease Often Mistaken for True
Hog Cholera.

That this disease has often been.
mistaken for true hog cholera is quite
evident. 1t may kill hogs quite rap
idly and cause just as severe losses
for an owner. But 1t is very much
less serious than true hog cholera, be-
cause 1t does not spread by Infection.
The symptoms frequently resemble
rather closely the true hog cholera,
but hogs die from this disease that are
supposed to be immune to cholera
This disease does not spread to other
hogs and involves only those which
are receiving swill from certain bar
rel or tank. The condition Of the bar
rel or tank itself usually gives very
good reason for suspecting that the
disease IS swirl barrel cholera rather
than true cholera.

Calf Cholera and
-. Its Treatment.
BY Dr.. N. II. Reynolds, Mime
sofa Agricultural College. ~.

Calf cholera, as the term is used
here, refers to diarrhea of older
calves and is to be distinguished from
white scours, a fatal infectious disease
of very young calves. -" --.1.-
Anything that tends to lessen vital.
ity and animal vigor seems to favor
the development of calf cholera. The
disease develops much more easily
among weak and unthrifty calves
The immediate cause is usually sud
den changes in feeding, milk from
dirty pals, irregular feeding, with hun
ger and then excessive feeding. The
disease is particularly apt to develop
among calves that are kept in unsap"
itary quarters, j. e., pens that are dark
and damp. ~
Symptoms.-The calf that has this
trouble is usually dull. There is a
diarrhea with thin, frothy discharge,
more or less Shiny, perhaps yellowish,
with an odor resembling spoiled
cheese.
Prevention.-The prevention of this
trouble is~obvious If one bears In mind
what has been said about causes and
is included in sunlight, cleanliness of
water, moderate, regular and clean
feeding, with breeding and manage
ment for the greatest amount of vital
ity and the most vigorous good health.
Observation-Disclosures we are using here
and know as the formalin treatment
has been very satisfactory. Very
briefly stated this treatment calls for
stock solution of formalin (one-half
ounce of formalin in fifteen and one
half ounces of water), which should
be clearly labeled with the formula
and should be kept in a cool, dark
place ready for need whenever need
may arise. AS general rule the feed,
usually milk, should be cut fully one
half in all these cases.
For medical treatment give one tea
spoonful stock solution formalin to
each pint of milk fed and in addition
|, for bad cases give tincture of opium,
thirty drops; alcohol, three drains as
one dose. This may be repeated if
necessary in three hours and a third
dose may be given after another
period of three hours; but the tincture
of opium in the third dose should be
reduced to about fifteen drops and
the opium should be entirely omitted
from the treatment except where it
seems to be made necessary by the
severity of the. case. This dose Of
tincture of opium and alcohol may be
given diluted in four to six teaspoon
fuls sweet SKINNED milk.

flower does escape the nudge, and the
seed is set it may be eaten by the
young Of the, clover chalcid.
The damage done to clover seed by
the young of both of these insects
may be largely avoided by pasturing
the clover field during the latter part
of May, and the early part of June,
sufficient to delay the blossoming un~
til late in July. Sheep may be used to
good advantage, but care should be
exercised to prevent bloating. If it is
not desired to pasture the clover off,
the first crop of hay may be cut early
Just before the heads appear The
date will vary with the season.
Cutting the first crop at so early a
date necessarily lessons the yield of
hay, and the crop may be somewhat
hard to cure, but the nudge will be
prevented from laying eggs in the
flowers and the chalcid will be pre-
vented from depositing eggs in the
young clover seed. Treated as out
lined above, by the time the flowers
do appear, the first generation of these
insects will have ceased to work, and
the second generation will not yet
have developed so the seed is set with
out hindrance and it develops without
injury from these two insects. The
increased yield Of good seed when the
crop is handled in this way will
usually bring in a much larger money
return than getting a larger yield of
hay from the first crop and a much
smaller yield of seed from the second

There are at least two insects in
Minnesota that are bad pests of ap-
pies; one is the plum curculio, which
also works on plums, and the other is
the codling moth. Both of these in
sects may cause the wormy fruit that
Is so common.
Spraying three times during the sea-
son with arsenate Of lead and water,
or, in place of water, use Bordeaux
mixture, is the best remedy. The first
spraying is given about week to ten
days before the blossoms drop; the
second spraying should be given just
after the blossoms fall and the third
spraying ten days later. These spray
ings, If properly applied, and with
we'll prepared mixture, will save at
least so per cent Of the otherwise bad
fruit.
In spraying against the plum curcu-
lilo particularly, on either the apple or
the plum, arsenate of lead should be
used at the rate of three pounds to
fifty gallons of water or Bordeaux mix
ture. This preparation can be made
at home, but it is at present cheaper
to buy the commercial product. It
ought not to cost 9ore than IL or IS
cents per pound if bought in so pound
lots. ssss ..-.
The mother curculio makes the
crescent shaped marks on the outside
of the fruit at the time of egg laying,
and it is only while eating the fruit
or the leaves before egg laying that
she can be reached with spray. The
idea is to have a spray that will stick
on the small leaves and the fruit, and
arsenate of lead does this admirably.
In spraying for codling moth, Paris
green or the home made arsenate of
lime, as we'll as arsenate of lead, may
be used. .-...
The eggs of the codling moth are
laid on the leaves or on the fruit, and
after hatching, the little worms crawl

will be ready for feeding early in the
season and will return about five tons
of green feed per acre. An acre or
two of fodder corn should be >sown
about May 10 to use as green fodder
after the peas and oats are exhausted
This corn should be sown in drills
about three and one-half feet between
the rows and two inches apart in the
rows. About fifty pounds of home
grown seed will be needed per acre
Early in June an acre or two of ever
green corn should be put in for fall
feeding to follow that, sown in May.
Follow the corn with one or two acres
of German millet, sowing from two to
three pecks per acre. For early fall
and winter feeding there is nothing
better to stimulate a large flow of milk
than roots. In the dairy division OF
the Minnesota department of agricul-
ture it has been found that the yellow
globe mangel is we'll adapted to Min
nesota conditions and keeps well up

sible, when a yield of from ten to fiji.
