EXPERIMENTS WITH
MILK FOR CALVES
Michigan Station Makes interest
ina Tests With FOrmaIde-
hyde--No III Effects

In trials made by the Michigan ex
pertinent station to determine the adj
visibility of using formaldehyde as a
preservative for skim milk fed to four
to seven-week-old calves for "a weeks.
7H cubic centimeters of 40 per cent
formaldehyde being used to each 100
pounds of milk, IL was found that in
general the calves suffered no dele.
terious effects from the preservative,
and as compared with calves fed sweet
milk or sour pilk, 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 5.41 cents per
pound; those fed sour milk 2,4S9.4
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 a large number of calves.

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 be
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 IL the wheat fields are
burned the parasite. preying on the
Hessian fly will be killed.
There is no danger of increasing the
injury from the Hessian fly by spread
ing straw as q 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 IL 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 han
ding wheat ground is to disk the stub
BILE as quickly as possible after har-
vest and to pillow the ground deep
after the volunteer wheat starts.

(By J. c. 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 great deal
better to select it while husking than
to wait until after corn is stored in
the crib.
Seed corn should be well 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 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 prot6
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

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

fBy @. l.. MARTIN. Montana Experiment
Station)
The rapid development of the ice
cream business within the past few
years and the increased call from city
trade, hotels and restaurants has Gre
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 a consequence
many dairymen are at loss to know
which is the most profitable way to
dispose of their cream. The follow.
ing general rules may serve to de-.
termine the relative market price per
pounds Of butterfat or gallon Of
cream:
To find the value Of q 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 4S cents per gallon; 25 per cent
cream, 60 cents per gallon; 30 per cent
cream, 70 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 25 cents
per pound of fat. At 81 per gallon, 40
per cent cream would be worth 31H
cents per pound of fat.

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 a 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 or 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
and windows of the storage place
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 a 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 1t
dry and keep 1t dry, and much will
have been accomplished toward an.
other corn crop.

FIGHT APPLE TREE INSECTS
Something of Its Habits and Vulner.
able Points Must Be Learned Be-
fore Combating Insect Pest.
CRY L. NJ. PATCH.l


Before 1t is possible to combat an
insect pest intelligently we must learn
something of it's habits and of its vul-
nerable points. When these are known
proper remedial measures may then be
taken for its repression or extermina-
ton. In the United States alone
more than four hundred species of in
sects are known to affect in greater or
less degree the apple tree or it's fruit.
For convenience in dealing with the
species of insects which damage apple
trees, they have been classified, in ac
cordance with the character Of the in
jury they cause, into three primary
groups.
A. Injuring root, trunk or branch;
borers and sap feeders.
AA. Injuring the foliage; biting or
sucking insects.
AAA. Injuring the fruit; maggots,
caterpillars, bugs and beetles.
In the class of those injuring root,
trunk or branch, are the borers-
roundheaded, flatheaded and shot
borer-which are destructive to the
wood; the scale insects and plant lice,
s-hich include the oyster shell and San
Jose scale and the woolly aphis.
In the second class-those injuring
foliage-are the plant lice. small.

PROPER time FOR
CUTTING ALFALFA
Established Fact That Bloom Is
No lndication-Safe Critic
rion to Follow Is Bud.

A great many men know wnen their
alfalfa fields should be cut. A great
many others will still harken to the
obsolete advice OF cutting when GER
tain per cent of bloom appears. These
latter will in many years greatly de-
crease their yields by following this
advice.
Put this down In your mind as an
absolutely established fact. The
bloom is no indication whatever as to
the proper time to put the mower in
the alfalfa field.
The one safe and certain criterion
to follow is the appearance of the new
crown buds. When these show up the
alfalfa should be cut at once. This
cutting by the bloom" is about as
sensible as planting potatoes in tao
moon or bleeding a cows tail for
hollow horn"
