Supply and Demand

busy with the work of evolving that
marvel of creation, the modern dairy
COW. Corresponding in its demand
comes another law, an economic one,
that calls for the most perfect, most
profitable milk production COW pos
sible; one that will take a given guam
tity of feeds and care and produce the
largest and best amount of milk out
of it. To secure such COW we must
take advantage of long established
heredity in that direction and breed
her.
"The modern dairy COW is nothing
more than the sober, plain and econ
omical answer of supply to demand.
These halfway measures for milk,
the dual-purpose cows, fall short Of
meeting the demand in the most
profitable manner. But as long as
there are men of that character there
will be cows to meet that demand.
And so with the poor, Improbable,
illy-bred COW. She is but an answer
for the demand of ignorant, unthink-
ing and unreasoning farmers who

We reprint herewith an editorial
filled with that wisdom which seems
to flow eternal from the fountain head
of our dairy knowledge, Hoards
Dairyman, headed, Supply and De-
mand:"
"The evolution of the modern dairy
cow in form and in the responsive
functions that belong to that form,
is but an answer to the old law of
demand and supply. The Texas COW
of fifty years ago had scarcely any
udder. There was NO demand upon
her for an udder. The main neces-
sity that governed her being was for
locomotion, the ability to travel far
and wide over a sparse vegetation for
her living. And so she had a thin
body, long legs and no udder. A
capacious udder would have been a
useless burden and nature is no fool.
"But a new demand, or rather a
tremendous increase of an old demand
that Of milk-has sprung up. True
to its working, that old law has been

want, CT think they want, just that
kind of a cow. Range where we will
in this domain we will see the constant
working of this law of supply and
demand The man that knows more
wants a better cow, and he gets her"
To our mind this brings to us in a
most striking manner suggestion
which everybody interested should
note. This inevitable law of supply
and demand points the way.
For what in dairying today is there
the greatest demand? Is it not for
more and better dairy men? 1t is
reported that last year over 100000
10000 worth of ice cream was con-
sumed. This is comparatively an en-
tirely new outlet for dairy pro-
ducts built up within few years. The
use of dairy products is in its infancy.
AS the worlds food stuffs become
scarcer, dairy products are more and
more recognized as the most economi-
cal on account of their high food
value.
Then the preservation of our soil
fertility links up so closely with dairy
ing and makes it undoubtedly the
safest and surest branch of farming.
Why then, is this demand for more
and better dairymen not supplied
We believe it is answered in the last
sentence of the editorial. "The men
that knows more wants a better cow
and gets her."
We believe the great work at this
time of every agency, every college
every dairy school and every dairy
professor along with the help of the
department of agriculture at Wash.
ington, should be to concentrate their
efforts in reaching the farmer with
the knowledge and facts which they
possess. Get them to thinking and
soon the demand for farmers "whc
know" will be supplied.
Pure bred dairy bulls will soon head
their herds, silos will follow and bring
with them an increased production OF
higher standard with an increased
prosperity upon the farms.

How to Collect Insects For Study

Students of agriculture will gain
more by studying insects injurious to
crops than by studying butterflies and
harmless species, for the pupil who
becomes familiar with the former will
find that their life histories will often
furnish a key to proper methods Of
combating them. Teachers in rural
schools throughout the country will
be particularly interested in new
farmers bulletin (No. 606) just issued
by the United States department of
agriculture which contains detailed in
struction regarding the collecting,
preparing, mounting and preserving
of insect specimens. The bulletin is
entitled, collection and Preservation
of Insects and Other Material for Use
in the Study of Agriculture" and may
be had free from the department as
long as the supply lasts.
The teacher or her pupil with very
little expense or trouble may make
such articles as are necessary fer col
lecting insects. The necessary equip
ment for an insect-collecting eXcur-
sion should include collecting nets,
killing bottles, box containing some
walls partly filled with alcohol in
which to place specimens of larvae
and pupae, trowel for digging speci-
mems out of the earth, small Ratchet
for breaking open rotten stumps,
some sheets of newspaper or other
soft paper, size about 3 by 3 inches,
for making envelopes in which to put
delicate specimens of butterflies or
moths, a small bottle of chloroform
or gasoline, and a small hand satchel,
haversack, or botanical specimen case,
with a few small pasteboard boxes,
such as pill boxes, in which to put
insects after taking them out of the
killing bottle.
A small pair of forceps or tweezers
will also be found convenient for
handling some Of the specimens, and
a pocket lens will be a desirable aid
for the study of the specimens in the
field.
Many insects are attracted to light,
and strong lamp with a reflector to
throw the light upon white sheet
will serve to attract many insects,
particularly on sultry nights. a mix
ture of sugar or molasses and decay
ing apples smeared on trees in the
woods will often attract moths at
night. A bull's-eye lantern is useful
in examining these patches in the
evening.
For collecting insects from the
branches and leaves of trees, an in
verted umbrella is the most useful
implement Hold it at arms length
under the tree and jar the limb with
a heavy stick. A sudden shock will
dislodge many beetles and other in

sects that one would not have noticed
upon the tree.
Cans or bottles sunk in the ground
so that the top is even with the top
of the soil and baited with meat,
dead mouse, rotten apples, etc, will
he visited by various insects. Boards
or pieces of bark left on the ground
near the edges of woods and meadows
will serve as shelters for variety
of insects, and if visited occasionally
one will find many interesting speci-
mems. Always turn back stones, logs,
or boards after examining them so that
they will continue to attract insects.
One must always be careful in TAX
ing from net not to crush them nor
rub the scales from the wings of
butterflies and moths. Always handle
specimens as little as possible.
Ways of killing and mounting in
sects are described in great detail in
the new bulletin. Insects may be
killed by a vapor of chloroform, ether,
sulphur or smoke.
How to Pin Insects.
Common pins are too large for use
in mounting most insects. Longer and
more slender pins suited for the pur-
pose may be bought from dealers in
natural-history supplies for a dollar
or less per thousand. They are bright,
black or japanned IN color.
Most insects, like butterflies, moths,
bees and flies, should be pinned
through the middle of the thorax
(that part of the body to which the
wings are attached), but beetles
should be pinned near the upper end
of the right wing-cOver, and true bugs
through the scutellum Ga triangular
piece between the bases of the wings).
Grasshoppers are often pinned
through the tip of the "prothorax," a
little in front of the base of the wings.
The insect should be pushed fully two
thirds of the way up on the pin, and
the collection will make a much better
appearance if all the specimens are of
an even height.
Insects should be prepared and
mounted as soon as possible after they
are collected, for if they are left for
any length of time the wings and legs
will become stiff and easily broken,
and it will be impossible to spread the
wings as will often be desirable in
order to give the specimens a lifelike
and attractive appearance. Ii 1t
should be impossible to mount the
specimens until they have become
rigid, they can be relaxed by placing

The farmers cannot go to the col
leges and dairy schools. A movement
should be planned and worked out to
take this needed knowledge from the
schools to the farmers. The dairy
schools in their scientific work are
away ahead of production. They
should stop awhile and go out to the
farmer and tell him Of the necessity
of a pure bred bull and balanced ra-
ton. They should carry the message
of better dairying to him and not ex-
pect him to go in search of it because
he can not

way.

them for time on a piece of paper
in box partly filled with moist sand.
1t will be well to put a few drops
of carbOlic acid on the sand in order
to prevent molding. After being left
in this way for few days the insects
will generally be sufficiently relaxed
to make it possible to mount them
without great difficulty. In mounting
butterflies, spreading board which
has a groove to hold the body and flat
surfaces on either side to which the
wings are pinned, will be found con-
venient.
If it is desired to keep the insects
for several years, it is necessary to
put them in a tight, dry, and dark
boX-tight to exclude other insects
which would eat them, dry to prevent
mold, and dark to preserve their
colors.
While regular collectors commonly
use special boxes for collections, cigar
boxes will do for the purpose of tenn
porary study. The bottom of the box
should be lined with some soft ma
terial such as cork. peat, well-dried
corn pith, or corrugated paper, and
covered with soft paper. To prevent
other insects from coming in and eat
ing the specimens, pinch Of flake
naphthalene or a naphthalene cone
should be placed in each box Within
the box the specimens should be ar
ranged, each kind by itself in a row.
A label with the name of the insect
can be placed behind the row of each
species or attached to the pin on the
first specimen in the row.
Live Insects Interesting Subjects for
Study.
One of the most interesting phases
of insect study is the rearing of in
sects The simplest way is to collect
the cOcoOns attached to various trees
in the autumn, and the fine moths,
red. brown, or pea-green, will appear
the following spring. 1t is more in
structive, however, to collect the
larvae or caterpillars and place them
in a box where they can be supplied
each day with the proper kind of
leaves for food. By this means one
can watch the caterpillars change
their skins while they grow, and also
note the change from the caterpillar
to the chrysalis. Any box with a
top of netting to prevent the cater
pillar from getting out will be suit
able. By putting moist sand in the
bottom of the box, the food will keep
fresh longer time.
Many other details regarding this
interesting study will be found in the
new bulletin. Every amateur insect
collector should have it to help him
obtain better results.

How to Use Farm
Credit
BY T. N. CARVER, DIRECTOR u. s.
RURAL ORGANIZATION SERVICE

There is no magic about credit.
1t is powerful agency for good in
the hands of those who know how to
use il. So is a buzz saw. They are
about equally dangerous in the hands
of those who do not understand them.
Speaking broadly, there are probably
almost as many farmers in this coun-
try who are suffering from too much
as from too little credit. Many q
farmer would be better off today if he
had never had a chance to borrow
money at all, or go into debt for the
things which he bought However,
that is no reason why those farmers
who do know how TO use credit should
not have it.
Nature and Use of Capital.
There is no mystery about credit or
capital. Capital consists Of tools and
equipment, though sometimes we
speak of it as though it were the
money necessary to buy the tools and
equipment. Capital and land are the
factors which call for investment by
the farmer. Thus the large use OF
capital in farming has come because
of the invention of agricultural ma
chinery. When farming was done with
a few very simple tools, most Of which
were made either by the farmer him
self or by the local blacksmith, capital
did not play a large part in agricul-
ture. Another way of saying the same
thing is that it did not take much
money to buy all the equipment the
farmer needed or knew to use. The
purchase of land was the only thing
requiring much money, and land, in
this country, was either free or very
cheap. Therefore, there was very
little money required to start in agrl-
culture. At the present time, not only
is the price of land rising, but the
equipment Of farm requires more
capital because of the increased use
of improved machinery. This is likely
to increase more and more as the
years go by.
Capital is brought into existence in
only one way-that is, by consuming
less than is produced. If one has a
dollar, one can spend it either for an
article of consumption, say confec-
tionery, or for an article of produc-
ton, say a spade. He who buys a
spade becomes a capitalist to the
amount of dollar-that is, he be
comes an owner of tools. The process
is precisely the same, whether the
amount in question is dollar or a
million dollars. If he does not have
the dollar, his only chance of getting
the spade is either to borrow it or
borrow the money with which to buy
it. That is, he must use credit.
Again, the process is precisely the
same, whether the amount be a dollar
or a million dollars.
