SOME HINTS ON CHINCH BUG
Experience OF Illinois Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station May Be of In
terest to Farmers.

The experience Of the Illinois ag-
ricultural experiment station with
chinch bugs discovered in the spring
OF 1912, may prove OF great value TO
farmers who may be troubled by the
pest this year. Last spring the Hi
nois station found that the chinch bugs
survived the winter in excellent con-
dition and on April % were scattering
on the living 20 lay their eggs. The
escape OF the bugs on foot, out of fields
of small grain at harvest time, is
thought to be best prevented by sur
rounding each field with a line OF
thick, viscid. road oil, with post holes
beside it some SO feet apart. Such a
line can be made and kept effective
long enough TO catch virtually all the
bugs in a field at minimum expense
of 50 cents rlile per day. Coal tai
may be used for the purpose where
road oil can be obtained, but it mus

AS the lambs grow and require
more milk, increase the grain with

a week old.
Oil meal is greatly relished by lambs
and helps greatly in the fine finish
obtained in feeding.

tages that Indiana possesses for profit.
able milk production
The soil and climate conditions are
particularly favorable TO dairying be-
cause all the chief home grown dairy
feeds can be raised successfully, while,
on the other hand, the climate is not
SO severe as to demand an excessive
outlay of capital for sheltering pur
poses.
Again, Indiana is splendidly equipped
with shipping facilities. as she has
numerous trunk lines branch roads
and traction companies, operating
within her borders which give her
farmers the advantage of many of the
leading markets OF neighboring states

be exercised in regard to keeping the
tail clean. as a filthy switch will con-
taminate the milk as readily as any
other factor
The next point TO consider is that
of the milk pail. A bucket that is used
for this purpose should be so construct
ed that thorough cleaning is possible.
All seams or crevices should be filled
with solder and the opening at the
top OF the pail made as small as
practical. Experience in the use of
covered top pail proves them to be al
most as convenient as the exposed
or open top type.
A factor that one should guard close
ly is the matter OF personal cleanli-
ness of the mixer Soiled clothes,
dirty hands, or filthy habits are not
conducive to clean milk and should
never be tolerated. Personal cleanli-
ness is absolutely essential to clean
milk and there is no excuse for toler-
ating a mixer that is not careful in
regard to his person. Another factor
that should be considered in order that
clean milk may be produced is that OF
the dairy barn. If the floor is con-
structed of some material that abb
serbs the urine and becomes filthy,
the odors thus produced will faint
the milk very much. The ceiling, also,
should be kept clean so that dust and
dirt will not have an opportunity to fall
into the open pals. Simple construc-
ton of the managers, stall partition and
stanchion frames will assist very much
in producing a clean. wholesome ar
ticle. One important point to be offer
ed in regard to the care of milk is that
OF the methods of reducing the tenn
perature. This may be accomplished
either by placing the milk in cans and
setting them in cold water or by some
patented milk cooler so constructed
that the milk is cooled by simply pass
ing the milk over it's surface. Either
method is good although the latter
method exposes the milk TO the air and
permits the bad Odors to escape by
bringing it in contact with pure air.

The matter of properly caring for
milk from the time it Is produced until
1T is delivered to the factory or con-
verted into a finished product is of
more Importance than the average far
mer is apt to think. Milk is a very
perishable material and, unless strict
precautions are exercised, it will de-
teriorate In quality rather fast. Warm
milk provides almost an ideal media
for the growing of many undesirable
types of bacteria. Upon cooling, how
ever, we find that the growth of the
germs is retarded to very great ex-
tent. In other words, milk, as it comes
from the cow, will sour in a short
time but IL cooled to so or So F., it
will keep for several days.
The germ or bacteria which cause
this action may get into the milk at va
rious times. The chief place however,
is at the time ii is produced or at milk
ing time. A cows udder and teats, un-
der ordinary conditions, is covered
with dirt or filth which carries mil
lions of germs. If, in the process of
milking. some of this material falls
into the milk, the bacteria at once be-
gin TO grow. increasing in numbers al
most beyond conception. So rapid
is this process of growth that it is
essential that milk be cooled almost
? immediately after being produced if
a high quality Is to be secured
Just the proper method of handling
milk after 1t is produced is the ques-
ton of greatest Importance in this
connection. A few simple directions
may assist those that desire to i'm
prove the quality of their dairy prod
uct. In the first place, it is essential
that the COW be cleaned thoroughly
before milking time. All long hair
should be clipped from the flank and
udder and this part of the cow brush
ed thoroughly each day Just before
milking it is we'll 20 wipe the udder
with a clean. damp cloth and in this
way remove all PARTICLES of dust that
might drop into the milk Care should

Bagdad.-Bagdad. City of Glory!
How its brilliance has shone
throughout the history of the world,
Once city which is said to have
housed 100000 souls and to have led
the world in art, literature and SCI
ence, Bagdad today Is shorn OF all her
glories.
To the approaching traveller the
city appears to be rising out Of the
midst Of trees, and towering above all
are the glittering domes of the tomb
mosques, overlaid with gold. A great
portion Of the ground within the city's
walls is occupied by gardens in which
figs, oranges and palms grow in great
abundance.
In most places the streets are un-
paved and so narrow it is difficult for
two horsemen to pass each other.
There is no sewerage system in the
city, the surface of the streets answer
ing the purpose; the refuse is wash
ed into the river and as the city draws
it's only supply of water from the Tig-
ris the death rate is high and cpl
denies frequent.
The Tigris at this point is a little
more than 500 feet wide, but very
deep. It's banks are of mud. There
are no retaining walls other than
those formed by the foundations Of
the houses along the banks.
Double decked horse cars, a relic of
the reforms of Midhat Pasha, connect
Kazeman, the suburg. with western
Bagdad. The two parts of the city are
connected with pontoon bridges. AL
though these are very old and in con-
slant danger of collapsing, thousands
of persons cross them daily. On Fri
day, the Mohammedan day Of rest,
hordes Of Arabs can be seen entering
the city over these bridges to buy and
sell. During the summer months. aft
er the heat Of the day, many walk up
and down these bridges in an attempt

come from the river.

FINDS HORNET is ~GENTLE"
English Mayor Tells OF Discovering

London.-Wasps occasionally have

quite willing to share our dwellings
with us if encouraged TO do so.
1t may be recalled that MT. Bates in
his account of his experience on the

hornets which flew near his face. But

1t is suggested that the time may

household will keep its hornet to deal
with flies, as it now keeps its big
dog to guard against burglars.
