A great advance In firearms waa
made when smokeless powder came
into the field. Many kinds Of the
smokeless variety have come and gone,
and from the elimination Of the IN
flttest the nitrocellulose and the nitro
glycerin powders have survived.
The nitrocellulose type is used by
the United States army and navy, by
the French and German army. Nitro
glycerin Is used by the British army
and navy and by the German navy.
The principal ingredient: In both kinds
Of powder is guncotton.
The smokeless powder needed by the
United States army and navy Is In part
manufactured by government plants
and In part purchased from private
manufacturers. The smokeless powder
Is made at all plants. both government

above the hawk to prevent it from

Farm Frost Maps.

Placing troops in exposed and dan
gerous positions during an attack and
planting crops on points of land most
likely to be affected with early killing
frosts are alike foolhardy and waste
full practices.
Why not make frost map Of the
farm? Now is the best time to do 1t,
when the first signs of the winter SOL
stice begin to appear, according to Eric
X. Miller, forecaster of the United
States weather bureau. University Of
Wisconsin. Madison.
Such surveys are a simple thing to
make on some morning after an espe-
cially hard frost has left its marks
upon vegetation, declares Mr.. Miller.

comes in, and keeping up her own bod
lily health. Water, hay and cornstalks
will not do these things, and If the cow
gets nothing else the milk pals will
not be so full by many dozen quarts
when she comes in.
When, after q couple Of months of
fairly good yield, your cow begins to
slacken off instead of keeping on and
doing well for ten months, you have
evidence that she was not given the
feed she should have had when dry.
The cow builds up her own wornout
body tissues, builds the bones, blood
and flesh Of her calf and makes the
milk she gives all from the feed you
put into her manger. While she Is dry
she uses 1t all for body building for
herself and her calf, but If you shorten
her feed II Is the cow that goes with
out, not the calf. AS logical conse-
quence the COW calves in poor flesh and
has nothing to draw upon for milk pro-
duction in the way Of body flesh, which
Is mainly protein, and can make only
the milk you give her feed for, which
is not all she Is capable of. The cow
that is fed well while dry lays by a
store of red flesh, and when she calves
she has that to draw upon for weeks,
thus allowing you to feed her lightly at
first and then more heavily, so that she
comes to her full flow at about the
same time the straw fed COW begins to
shrink.
Up to two weeks before calving the
dry cow should be given the ration she
is fed to make milk; then it should be
changed to equal parts of ground oats
and wheat bran, with a small amount,
about half pound, of linseed oil meal.
1t is assumed that bran and linseed
form part of the milking ration. Rough
age and succulence the cow should
have always, but the silage or roots or
beet pulp can be decreased while she is

CAUSE OF ROPY MILK.
Condition Usually Due to Unclean
Dairy Utensils.

Condition Usually Due to Unclean
Dairy Utensils.
Stringy or ropy milk is usually due to
a certain class of bacteria which work
upon the casein and albuminoids Of the
milk, says Hoard's Dairyman. They
get into it from pals, tanks, watts or
other milking utensils and give to the
milk or cream stringy consistency.
Sometimes this infection can be traced
to cattle wading in sloughs or marshes.
In such cases no doubt the bacteria are
carried on the udder and teats, and at
the next milking the freshly drawn
milk is infected. II q needle is dipped
into such milk and then lifted some OF
1t will be raised in long threads.
The remedy for this trouble is clean
milking utensils and containers and an
avoidance Of the above mentioned
slcughs. This is only one of the many
reasons for scalding, either with boil
Ing water or steam. all milk containers
and for practicing scrupulous cleanli-
ness in milking and handling the milk.
Feed does not affect this trouble.

KILL WEEVlLS AND MOTHS.
A Simple and inexpensive Destroyer Is
Carbon Bisulphide.

Carbon Bisulphide.
1T. ]. Talbert. Missouri station.1
A stitch In time saves nine, but even
the nine may not remedy the damage
one would have prevented. Unusually
late thrashing has left the grain in the
stack or shock exposed to the attacks
of the grain moth and the weevil this
year. Fortunately rather simple,
cheap treatment with carbon bisulphide
viii destroy all the weevils and moths
that infest stored grains. This liquid
looks very much like water, but when
poured on rags or into shallow pans
on the top of grain rapidly forms a
gas so much heavier than air that it
goes down among the kernels, destroy
ing all weevils and moths.
The temperature, size, shape and
tightness of bins or granaries are i'm
portant factors. 1t is not worth while
to fumigate when the temperature is
below 60 degrees f. More bisulphide
is required, and even then unsatisfac-
tory results are obtained.
One pound of liquid for every thirty
bushels of grain will be enough if the
bin is tight and the temperature above
20 degrees. Another pound should be
used for every 200 cubic feet of space
above the grain in the bin.
The liquid may be thrown directly on
the grain without injury, but better re-
suits will be secured by pouring it into
shallow pans, scattered over the sur
face, or If these are not available it
may be poured upon old rags or cot
ton waste One-half pound or at most
not more than pound should be pour
ed into each pan. The liquid may be
poured down through gas pipe in order
to get it near the center and bottom of
very large bins. Plug one end Of the
pipe with cotton or old rags. push it
down through the grain and then re-
move the plug by pushing rod down
through the pipe.
The granary or bins should be kept
closed as tightly as possible for thirty
six hours, and, If the seed is not to be
sowed, for forty-eight hours. The grain
WIN pC JuoJ as SOou ictu dltti
treatment as before, but if 1t is to be
sowed care should be taken not to use
too much bisulphide or to fumigate too
long. 1t is often convenient to apply
the liquid Saturday afternoon and flu
migate until the next Monday morning.
The gas is very explosive, and no
lighted cigars, pipes, lanterns or match
es should be allowed In or near the
building until it has been thoroughly
aired. The work should always be
done in the daytime. Cost may be kept
down by securing commercial bisul-
phide instead of the more expensive
chemically pure liquid, often kept by
drug stores. Storekeepers will doubt
less be glad to order the more econom-
ical form if it is not already in stock.
