RULE FIXING TIME

Colorado Stations Find II Impos-

tBy r. M'CANN. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
All those delivering cream 70 cream
stations and those operating shipping
stations will be interested In the new
ruling whereby all cream station tests
are to be made the day following the
delivery OF the cream.
It has been found absolutely impos-
sible to do the accurate, careful work
required to make tests during the
rush hours OF business, and 1t is for
this reason, namely, to Insure the
farmer of correct tests and give the
operators time to make them. that
this ruling has been passed. BY this
method a check will be forthcoming
at the time OF each delivery with the
exception of the first. and no delay or
waiting will be necessary on the part
Of the farmer or dairyman.
Several adjoining states have had
similar law in effect for years past.
and are well pleased with the results
obtained. It has proved benefit to
all concerned. and il being firmly
backed by dairymen and creamery.

The alfalfa seed destroyer, known

GINGER AND SODA
GOOD FOR POULTRY
Easily Prepared Mixture VIII
Keep Digestive Organs Toned
and in Condition.

Where milk is fed regularly to the
chickens. teaspoonful OF ginger and
soda added to each gallon every third
or fourth day will prevent cholera or
other bowel troubles. Stir the mix
ture until thoroughly dissolved. before
feeding. This is very easily prepared
and will keep their digestive organs
toned and sweetened.
When fattening fowls, skim milk
should be used to mix the mash. They
like it better, and in this way are in-
duced to eat just as much more as the
milk, while serving as moisture to wet
the mash, is also hearty food.
The food for young ducks should be
mixed with milk, and curds made from
sour milk are indispensable for young
turkeys.

ing fiy, the insect eats its way out
through the shells Of the infested
seeds, and then through the green
pods. Large portions of the seeds are
followed out in this manner, when
they are still green and growing.
The infested seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae Of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some OF the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lcck the glossy ap-
pearance Of normal seeds.
The extent to which alfalfa seed Is
damaged by the fly is not generally
apparent, owing to the minuteness of
