EXPERIMENTS WITH
MILK FOR CALVES
Michigan Station Makes interest
ing Tests With FormaIde-
flyde-No III Effects.

In trials made by the Michigan ex
pertinent station to determine the ad
visibility of using formaldehyde as a
preservative for skim milk fed to four
to seven-week-old calves for "a weeks
71a cubic centimeters of 40 per cent
formaldehyde being used to each 100
pounds of milk, it was found that in
general the calves suffered no dele.
FERROUS effects from the preservative,
and as compared with calves fed sweet
milk or sour milk, made slightly
greater gains at somewhat lower cost.
From records kept of the after devel-
opment of these calves it was found
that those which had been fed the
preserved milk continued to make the
cheapest gains, followed by the sweet
milk fed calves and the sour milk fed
calves.
For the entire experiment the calves
fed sweet milk made total gain of
1897 pounds, costing Sal cents per
pound; those fed sour milk 2,489.4
pounds, costing 5.43 cents per pound,
and those fed the preserved milk, g.
537 pounds, costing 5.23 cents per
pound. 1t is believed, however, that
before definite conclusions can be
drawn the work should be carried on
with large number of calves.

MAKING A PROFIT IN CREAM
Many Dairymen Are at Loss to Know
Which Is Most Profitable Way
to Dispose of Product.

By G. L. MARTIN, Montana Experiment
Station)
The rapid development of the ice
cream business within the past few
years and the increased call from city
ated large demand for sweet cream.
For these trades it is desirable that
the cream should test about 20 per
cent, but often the test may vary up
to 40 per cent, depending greatly
upon the method of operating the
hand separator. When selling cream
to creameries, the price is quoted per
pound of butterfat, but for ice cream
and hotel purposes it is customary to
pay by the gallon. AS consequence
many dairymen are at a loss to know
which is the most profitable way to
dispose of their cream. The follow
ing general rules may serve to de-
pounds of butterfat or gallon of
cream:
To find the value of a gallon of
cream when butterfat is a certain
price per pound, multiply the percent
age Of fat by 8 (the number of pounds
in GALLON and the product by the
price per pound. At 80 cents per pound
for fat, 20 per cent cream would be
worth 48 cents per gallon; 25 per cent
cream, 60 cents per gallon; 80 per cent
cream, 72 cents per gallon; 40 per cent
cream, So cents per gallon. At 35 cents
per pound for fat, 20 per cent cream
would be worth So cents per gallon,
and so On.
To find the price per pound for but
terfat when the price per gallon of
cream is known, divide the price per
gallon by eight times the per cent of
fat. At 40 cents per gallon, 20 per
cent cream would be worth % cents
per pound of fat. At 81 per gallon, 40
per cent cream would be worth 31A
cents per pound of fat.

(By J. G. BEAVERS. Purdue Experiment
Station.)
So long as corn remains the princi-
pal crop in Indiana, the selection and
storage of seed corn will continue to
be topics of vital Importance. One
of the most important factors in corn
production is that of having seed ears
of the right type and of good strong
vitality. These desirable characters
can never be obtained in a strong way
except by giving careful attention to
the selection and storing of seed.
There is only one proper time of
selecting seed, and that is in the
field, preferably in October. Howev-
er, If you failed to select your seed
at that time, it will be a great deal
better to select it while husking than
to wait until after corn is stored in
the crib.
Seed corn should be we'll dried as
early after husking as possible. When
stored in a crib it does not usually
have opportunity to dry well, and con-
sequently is more subject to injury
by molds and decay than well-dried
corn. For this reason, if for no other,
get your seed corn before it gets in
the crib, and put it in a place where
the air can circulate freely around
each ear and drive out the excess of
moisture.
Corn may be stored in number of
different ways, any one of which may
be thoroughly satisfactory. Special
seed corn racks are now used by
many, but other methods often prove
more applicable to the average farm
er's conditions. One splendid plan
is to drive No. 10 wire nails through
an inch board at a distance of three

give the newspaper man all the ap-
pies he wanted if he would haul them
away.
1.-THE building of good roads is ire
mendous economical problem, not
merely one of convenience The au-
tomobile undoubtedly has been largely
instrumental in bringing about the
good roads movement, or rather in
giving impetus to it. That and the
high cost of living are principal fac
tors in the general campaign now 60
ing on in many states for good roads.
West Virginia this year will spend
$5,000.0O0 in improving her highways,
the different counties having voted
bonds to that amount, and in the
whole United States the amount spent
TO; good roads this year will probably
reach $3.50, 100000. Last year we spent
about s20O,OOO,OO0, and the increase
this year will be fully 20 per cent, be-
lieve."

1 inches each way, and then shove the
butt of an ear of corn on the point of
each nail. Boards filled with the ears
may be set along the walls of shell
ter, or one end may be nailed to the
joist of shelter shed or room suit
able for drying corn in.
Storing of a seed corn rack is, of
course, one of the very best methods
that can be used. These racks are
made by using three, five OF six inch
boards as uprights and then mailing
one and one-half-inch strips on each
edge of the uprights at intervals Of
six inches. The ears of corn can then
be laid on the strips where the air
can pass freely between them.
If the weather is open and dry
after the seed is taken in, the doors
should be open, especially during the
day. Unless it is very dry, it is usu-
ally better to close the doors and win
dows over night.
The chief aim for the first few
weeks after selection should be to
get the corn as dry as possible with
out applying heat. The aim after that
should be to keep the ears in place
where they will stay dry. If the corn
is thoroughly dry nothing but the
most extreme freezing weather will
injure it, but if the germ is damp or
wet with moisture it may be greatly
injured in moderate freezing wealth
er. 1t is the corn that is frozen while
moist that is responsible for most of
the poor stands secured. Select your
seed before it gets to the crib, get it
dry and keep it dry, and much win
have been accomplished toward an
other corn crop.

BURNING STUMBLE
is BAD PRACTICE
Destroys Organic Matter and
Plant Food of Much Value
Control of HesSian Fly.

| (By L. E. CALL. Kansas Experiment Sta
toni
Don't burn your wheat stubble or
straw stacks this summer for the pur-
pose of destroying the Hessian fly.
The burning Of the stubble or wheat
straw in the stacks not only fails to
destroy the fly, but will lead to the de-
struction of organic matter and plant
food worth millions of dollars.
The Hessian fly would not be eradi-
Gated by burning, because the fly
passes its resting stage in the sum-
mer not only in the straw and stubble
above ground but also in the crown OF
the plant so low that it could not b
destroyed by burning. The parasite
which preys upon the Hessian fly
passes the summer in the fly located
in the straw and the stubble above the
ground. II the wheat fields are
burned the parasite preting on the
Hessian fly win be killed.
There is no danger of increasing the
injury from the Hessian fly by spread
ing straw as top dressing upon the
field. The top dressing of straw upon
the field does not furnish winter pro-
lection to the fly. Wheat which has
been infested with the jointworm and
the greater wheat strawworm in large
numbers should not be spread on the
field. These insects make their pres
ence known by the large number OF
white heads in the field. If there was
a large number Of white heads of
wheat in your field do not spread the
straw on the field. This infested straw,
however, may be used as a top dress
ing on corn ground If the straw be
worked into the ground early In the
spring.
The best method Of controlling the
Hessian fly Is to prevent the growth
of volunteer wheat in summer and fall
and to delay the seeding Of the wheat
until most of the flies have deposited
their eggs. The best method Of ham
ding wheat ground is to disk the stab
BILE as quickly as possible after lar
vest and to plow the ground deep
after the volunteer wheat starts.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In seleo-
tlon Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next Of shelter. for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with 1t.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
Is, on new construction and old, rapid
1y supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ay eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
iteed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds Of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles ara
represented honestly.
