Does it pay to feed grain to cows on
pasture? The results obtained at the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton indicate that it depends largely
upon how much milk the cows give
and how good the pasture is If COW
is producing less than a pound of but
ter each day the necessary food can be
obtained from a good pasture If she
produces more than this some grain
can be fed with profit. This means
that a Jersey COW should be able to
get enough food from grass to make
about 20 pounds of milk daily and
Holstein about % to 80.
1t will pay to feed grain to all Civ
ing above this amount as it becomes
impossible for the animal to gather suf-
fcient feed in the form of grass. A
COW giving a pound and half of but
ter daily should have about five pounds
daily and for two pounds of butter,
give seven or eight pounds of grain.
When not more than four or five pounds
of grain are fed it can be all corn.
If more than this is needed, some bran
or small amount of cottonseed meal
should be added. These recommends
tions hold good only when pastures are
good In late summer it will often be
necessary to feed more grain to high
producing cows or to give some silage
or green feeds to help out the pas
lures.

cats from lying about the chicken
Yards or places frequented by the poul-
try. All animals. and the poultry as
we'll, should be excluded from beneath
houses and barns, as such places are
favorable for flea development, and
difficult to treat if they become infest-
ed. These precautions should be fol-
lowed by a thorough cleaning out of
the chicken house and outbuildings
frequented by the poultry. All of the
manure should be hauled to a good
distance from the buildings and scat
tered out. The places where the fleas
are thought TO be breeding should
then be sprinkled with crude oil. One
of the most satisfactory methods of
preventing breeding is to scatter salt
freely about the chicken house and
then wet the soil down thoroughly.
This species cannot thrive in damp
places. and if the sprinkling is done

Fleas are of importance to man in
two ways: First, as disease carriers
and second, as parasites or annoyers
of man and animals. The dread dis
ease of man known as bubonic plague
has been found to be transmitted
largely, If not entirely, through the
agency of these insects. A disease
known as infantile kala azar, occur
ring in the countries bordering the
Mediterranean sea, is probably also
transmitted by them, and a species of
tapeworm which infests dogs and
occasionally people, has been found
to pass at least one stage in the dog
flea, then gaining entrance to new
host by the swallowing of crushed or
living fleas. As parasites of man and
animals. feas are of considerable i'm
portance. aside from disease transmits
sion. In many instances they have
been known to render houses unin-
habitable for time, and certain
SPECIES cause great loss among poultry
as we'll as annoyance to other ANIMALS.
The stiek-tight flea. or southern
chicken flea, is probably the most i'm
portant of our livestock infesting spe-
cies. This form attacks a number of
different hosts, including poultry, dogs,
cats and some wild animals. The
adult feas remain during the greater
part of their lives attached to the host
animal. On dogs and cats they are
largely found on the ears, particularly
along the edges In the case of poul-
try infestations. feas are most COM
mon on the heads of the hosts. where
they are to be seen in groups or
patches. This habit of attaching in
clusters seems to be well marked, and
an infested fowl often may be recog-
nized at a considerable distance by the
dark flea-eoyered areas about the eyes
comb and wattles. When the fleas are
excessively abundant they may be
found in similar patches on the neck
and various parts of the body.
The stick-tight flea is most common
and of greatest Importance in the
southern and southwestern states 1t
has been reported as injurious to poul-
try as far north as Kansas. The in
jury is most marked in young chick
ems, which, when fairly heavily infest-
ed, often die quickly. Older fowls are
more resistant, but have been known
to sueeumb to very heavy infestations
and certainly the fleas materially re-
duce egg production, retard the growth
of fowls and diminish their size.
AS preliminary step in the con-
troll of fleas, it is well to see that the
poultry are kept away from other ami
mails as far as possible. Especial care
should be exercised to keep dogs and

two or three times a week no further
breeding is possible. If salt is used,
due care should be taken to prevent
the fowls from eating it on account of
its poisonous qualities.
1t is rather difficult to destroy feas
on the poultry without injuring the
host. But this may be accomplished
by carefully applying carbolated vas
cline to the clusters of f1eas on the
fowls or greasing them with kero-
sene and lard-one part kerosene to
two parts lard In all cases care
should be taken when applications are
made not to get the material on the
poultry except on the seat of infesta-
ton. 1t is important that dogs and
cats be freed from stick-tight fleas.
This may be done by washing them in
saponified coal-tar creosote prepare
ton, or many of the insects may be
killed by greasing the most heavily in
tested parts with kerosene and lard.

DINNER DANCE AT HOTEL
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS
Connecticut Avenue Citizens Asso-
citation Entertains in New
Departure.

Just to prove that citizens associa-
tons can be more than mere resoluting
bodies, interested only in street matters
and other civic improvements. 100
members of the Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association last night gave a
cabaret -dinner-dance at the New Eb-
bitt Hotel. So far as all records go it
was the only entertainment of the kind
ever attempted by any of Washington's
citizens associations, of which there are
more than fifty, and it proved a big
success as a ''get-together" undertake
ing.
The guests included residents of that
section between Connecticut Avenue
bridge and Chevy Chase Circle. which
is the territory over which the associa-
ton has jurisdiction. Speeches and the
usual formalities were eliminated. In
their place were substituted music and
dancing and other features calculated
to make every one have good time.
Jesse Crawford, president of the as
sociation. in sort of welcoming pro-
nouncement. which was the nearest
thing to a speech that the evening pro-
duced, made it clear that fun was the
prime object of the gathering. And the
diners proceeded to take him at his
word.

NEW TRIBUNAL PROPOSED.
Plan for Court to Pass on Realty
Assessments Discussed,

The proposition to create court OF
three judges for the purpose Of passing
on real estate assessments in the Dis
trict, and to listen to complaints from
property owners was discussed at
length by the members of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association in
regular session last night. The dele
gate to the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations was instructed to vote in
favor of such plan.
Much complaint was made concern
ing the dusty condition of the street
car which operates to the suburb, due
to the fact that the space between the
track is not sprinkled. The railway
company Will be asked to take immedi-
ate steps to remedy this condition. In
this connection a letter was read from
the Commissioners indicating that
Pennsylvania avenue from the bridge
to Branch avenue would be oiled in the
near future. The request that ed
street be oiled was denied on the
ground that no funds were available.
The bill to regulate municipal APP
pointments and promotions was pre-
scented for discussion, and after several
of the members had spoken on the sub
ject it was referred to q special com
mittee for further investigation. Action
will be taken on the subject at the
next regular meeting of the associa-
ton.
