TENT CATERPILLAR

Insects Will Soon Strip Tree of
Its FoIiage-Spraying Will
Destroy Them.

A few colonies of the tent caterpil-
lars, which you can identify by the I'M
slightly web nests, or tents, that they
make in trees, will soon strip tree of
its foliage. The nests may be either
cut out and destroyed. or burned with
a torch, taking care not to seriously
injure the tree. The masses of eggs
from which these nests Of caterpillars
hatch are laid on the trees in early
midsummer and may be seen and de-
stroyed when the leaves fall.
Spraying the trees with paris green
(one-half pound to fifty gallons of wa
teri or arsenate of lead 1.-TWO pounds to
fifty gallons of water) while the cater
pillars are small will dispose of them.
On the stone fruits, such as cherries.

COOLING MILK IN
THE WARM MONTHS
Spring Water Must Be Supple
mented With Ice in Order to
Secure Low Temperature.

Artificial means are necessary to
cool milk in warm weather, and it
should be cooled promptly after draw
ing. 1t is advisable to cool it to as
near 40 degrees as possible. Sterilize
the vessels and use care in drawing
the milk, promptly chilling it and
there will be no trouble experienced
with an excess bacterial count. A high
bacterial count is often the result of
the milk not being promptly or prop
erly cooled. Use the thermometer
frequently to ascertain whether the
temperature is low enough.

BEES NOT POISONED
BY ORCHARD SPRAYS
Results of Carefully Conducted
Investigations by Prof. c.
w. Woodwork.

There has long been belief that
spraying blossoms with arsenate OF
lead or other poisons would kill the
bees that visited the blossoms after
spraying In their search for honey.
Prof. C. w. Woodwork of the Uni
versity Of California has conducted
some careful investigations in the
Pajaro valley, which are related by
him in Gleanings in Bee Culture,
showing that this fear is groundless,
that the spraying can be done at the
time best for codling moth control, and
that the bees can visit the blossoms
without injury.
A colony of bees from the university
at Berkeley was shipped to Watson
vile and placed in the midst Of 40
acre apple orchard at jacksonville just
before heavy spraying with arseni'
Gals was given. After being kept
there for some time without apparent
injury to the bees, the hive was
shipped back to Berkeley and kept
closed until a number of the bees
were dead. These were taken out
and considerable amount of arsenic
was found upon them, but it was all
on the outside, coming there by con.
tact, as would dust or powder Of any
kind. No internal arsenic was found
and the arsenic apparently had moth.
ing to do with their deaths. There
was likewise no trace Of arsenic in
the honey gathered by the bees from
the blossoms sprayed with arsenicaIs.
The right idea is to spray when the
blossoms need it. Keep bees if con-
venient to pollinize the blossoms, but
do not worry about the effect Of the
spraying on them.

WAVES HIGH UP IN RANK

During hot, dry weather when flies
are troublesome, it pays to let the
calves stay inside all day and let

One of the greatest points in feed

USE SWEET CLOVER
TO IMPROVE SOILS
Kansas Agricultural College
Shows Where Newly ReCog-
nized Crop Is Profitable.

Sweet clover excels alfalfa as a
cattle pasture and is superior to all
other crops for improving soils de-
ficient in organic matter, though 1t
has been lately overrated as a crop
to grow under all circumstances.
These conclusions are reached as a
result of investigations by the agron-
omy department Of the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
"In the past two years." says c. c.
Cunningham, assistant in co-opera-
tive experiments, there has taken
place in the popular mind a radical
change in opinion regarding sweet
clover Once considered a noxious
weed, it is now recognized as valu-
able crop. To large extent sweet
clover is deserving of this change of
opinion regarding it, but, like any
new crop that suddenly comes into
favor, it has been overrated for grow
ing under all conditions. 1t has
proved valuable, however, under GER
tain conditions and for special pur-
poses.
Sweet clover can be grown to ad-
vantage for hay on some soils not
adapted to alfalfa or red clover. 1t
is, however, substitute for these
crops and is useful for hay when the
more valuable kinds cannot be sue
cessfully grown.
Sweet clover is of value as pas
ture and soil improvement crop and
will undoubtedly be extensively util-
ized for these purposes. Properly
handled, sweet clover will furnish
more pasture than most other pas
ture crops, especially on the poorer
types of soils. 1t excels alfalfa as a
pasture for cattle, in that it rarely
causes bloat. Sweet clover is SUI
perior to all other crops for use in
improving soils deficient in organic
matter"

Education and high milk yields go
hand in hand
A sunny, clean barn means more
contented COWS.
Record-keeping tends to increase
the milk-production Of the herd by
elimination process.
The ration for the dairy cow should
be bulky, well balanced, palatable, d.
gestible and economical.
Until we get perfect animals we
should search for sire that in some
particulars is superior to the cows in
our herds.
The first step in the production OF
clean milk is to arrange to keep COWS
clean.
It is hopeless to advise dairy farm
ers who are opposed to silos, dairy
papers and things that cost a little

under a recently enacted antinarcotic
law 1,4O3 permits were issued in six
months to persons petitioning for the
privilege of using narcotic drugs, and
the consumption of such drugs amount
