REASON FOR MILK DECLINE
SHORT PASTURES AND HEAT
CAUSE COWS TO PRODUCE
LESS.
ey A. c. Page, College Of Agriculture,
University of Missouri.

Folks are in the habit of blaming
the fly for most everything that hap
pens in summer, and usually they are
right. He is nuisance and carrier
of disease and all that But one thing
he has been blamed for that is really
the fault of some other conditions
This is the falling off in milk which
every farmer notices in August. The
cows give less, and as they come in
covered with flies, which bite the
farmer himself as he milks, the blame
goes to their annoyance.
Professor G.. H. Eckles Of the Dairy
Department of the University of Mis-
souri, conducted an investigation on
the extent of fly annoyance and the
possibility of remedying It, The cows
in the herd at the College of Agricul-
ture were divided into two parts.
One half were sprayed every day with
some mixture that kept the flies away.
The other half of the herd was not
sprayed. Records are always kept Of
the amount of milk each COW gives at
every milking. and these records were
noticed for the two halves Of the
herd. There seemed to be little diff
ference. After two weeks the system
was changed around so that the pre-
viously unsprayed half Of the herd
was sprayed with the oil. The rec.
ords seemed to show that there was
very little difference in production
at least not enough difference to pay
for the trouble and expense of the
spray. The chief difference was in
the COWS standing quteter during
milking. with the flies kept off.
Professor Eckles assigns the falling
off in milk to short pastures and the
heat, so that the COWS do not get
sufficient feed to maintain strong
milk flow

Fire Engine Tried Out.

The fire department built a shack
Wednesday and filled it with hay, ex-
celsior and kindling saturated with
oil. About 8 o'clock Chief Jas. Hall
started the fire and turned in the
alaum. The boys quickly assembled,
ran five blocks and got the fire under
control in few minutes. The engine
proved success and is Of great value
to this city. It is recognized by the
insurance underwater, giving this
city first-class rating. Adrian Jour-

The soil contains two general class
es of bacteria or germs" which are
very important for the farmer. There
are some which fix the gas nitrogen
from the air to solid form in the
soil. These are extremely important
to every crop. The other general
class includes those which change the
Nutrients already in the soil into a
form that the plants can use. One of
the biggest reasons for thorough cul-
tivation of the soil, according to Pro-
lessor M. F. Miller of the College Of
Agriculture of Missouri. Is that 1t sup
plies air and warmth and moisture to
these bacteria SO that they do their
work of preparing the needed fertility
for the crops.

DIRECT SENATORIAL
ELECTIONS BILL is
PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure, Adopted by Upper Chamber,
Goes to President with Vote
of 237 to 80.

Washington, D. c., May 14.-The
House today completed the process
whereby, in so far as congress has
the power, all United States Senators
will be elected by direct vote of the
people instead of by the State Legis-
latures. By 237 to 39-far more than
the necessary two-thirds of quorum
the House voted to recede from its
version of the direct elections resolu-
ton and to concur in the Senate S ver-
sion. The measure now goes to the
States for ratification.
By two-thirds majority of both
houses Congress now has voted to
submit to the various legislatures an
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton which repeats its provision that
the legislatures shall elect Senators,
and substitutes provision that the
people shall elect them. If, now,
three-fourths of the legislatures ap-
prove the amendment, the new Ian
guage will become part of the or
ganic law of the country.
Owing to the Southern sectional
fear of Federal power there is some
doubt whether the approval of three
fourths of the legislatures can be OBJ
tanned. So strong is general popular
sentiment on the subject that prob
ably, the needed three-fourths will be
obtained. But the enemies of popu-
lar elections were strong enough in
the Senate to force the submission of
the issue to the legislatures in such a
way as to keep alive this sectional
doubt.

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS

By Supt. P. n. Allison.
The enumeration lists and estimates
are about half in. Those sent in have
been placed on file. Those who have
not sent in should do so at once as
these are important and may lose
some district their public money.
Several clerks have used old blanks
instead of the late ones sent out this
year and in some instances we have
transferred these to the proper blank.
Teachers have used old forms of term
reports instead of the new and up-to-
date ones that are required under the
new law. New blanks have been
furnished all these parties and they
should have been used. Clerks will
do well to destroy all old blanks as
they will be furnished new ones next
year.
A few teachers have received their
last months wages without obtaining
a receipt from this office for term re-
port. In some instances these term
reports are correct and in others they
are not. The clerks are going to
have to swear that a part of these are
correct, in June and this will not be
very safe unless they are sure about
the matter. One of these teachers
filed term report here that certifies
an attendance of so much and the adj
ding machine makes very different
number of it. The clerk sent in the
one handed him and it foots up a
number different from the other. l
doubt the clerk having noticed this
but the teacher should have been
more careful.
l am sure that none of the district
clerks can afford to miss the clerks
convention to be held July 18th. At
this meeting we shall take up things
along the district clerks line of work
that will be helpful to them. Some
of these new blanks will be taken up
and discussed and all matters of law
to their work will be dis
cussed. The University man will be
ready on his part of the work and will
have something of interest to all per-
sons interested in education. While
he is the representative of the Uni
versity he will talk matters pertaining
TO our work here in Bates county and
not the University.

CORN SILAGE FOR COWS,
BOTH SUMMER AND WINTER
BY A. c. Page, College Of Agriculture,
University of Missouri.

Corn silage, besides being the cheap
est roughage the Missouri farmer can
raise, is peculiarly adapted to the
dairy cow On some farms in the
state silage is fed to the milk cows
twelve months in the year, largely
taking the place Of pasture. That is
one of the strong points about silage
it is able to largely take he place of
pasture grass.
In summer when the pasture Is
abundant this is not so important.
But when the mercury Is playing
around zero or below. it helps keep
up the flow of milk. Professor Eckles
Of the Missouri Experiment Station
says that If you would keep up good
milk flow at this unnatural season,
you must supply the conditions of
spring, when the COW naturally pro-
duces we'll. Silage supplies part of
these conditions.
There was once a mistaken idea
that silage gives the milk peculiar
flavor. This is found to be only no.
ton, probably arising from the flavor
Of some milk that stood too long in
the tainted atmosphere of the barn.
The economy of silage is strong
point in its favor Professor Eckles
asserts that 40 per cent of the corn
crop is wasted if the stalks are left
in the field, and large part of this is
saved in the silo.
Two circulars are published by the
College of Agriculture at Columbia,
describing the construction of both
the cement and the plastered wooden
silo. These will be sent free to any
one who requests them.
