DISINFECT POULTRY
HOUSE FOR VERMIN
Sunshine Is Most Effective and
Economical Germicide That
Can Be Thought Of.

By N. Z HARRIS. Kansas State Agri-
cultural College.)
One is safe in using almost any Of
the COMMON coal-tar dips that are on
the market for disinfecting poultry
houses. The most inexpensive of these
products are the common stock dips
which should be mixed at home. Most
of the poultry sprays on the market
are nothing more than the stock dips
ready for use.
The eggs Of mites hatch in from
seven to ten days, so in order to get rid
Of vermin it Is necessary to follow the
two-week rule. Occasionally the en-
tire house should be sprayed. The
spray is made up to strength Of 3 per
cent or three parts coal tar dip to 81
parts of water. Common kerosene Is
also effective in getting rid Of lice and
mites. 1t is used in proportion of 81
parts kerosene to three parts coal-tar
preparation. The ordinary hand or
bucket spray pump is used. The most
effective and economical germicide
that can be used at any time Of the
year is sunshine.

COW IS DESERVING
OF ESSENTIAL REST
Without It Animal Cannot Lay Up
Requisite Supply of Fat for
New lactation Period.

(By CARL E. JOHNSON. Idaho Expert
ment Stauon.)
The accumulated experience Of pro-
gressive dairymen proves that a COW
should have a rest between lactation
periods. If MIXED continuously up to
the time of freshening, the period into
which she freshens will be less profit
able than the preceding. Without rest
it Is impossible for her to renew her
depleted strength or to lay up a sup
ply Of fat for the new lactation period,
nor can she properly nourish the now
rapidly growing foetus.
1t may seem like wasting feed to lay
fat on a cows body, but in reality 1t
is not, for the fat will later appear as
fat in the milk. Moreover, when a COW
freshens she is usually more or less
feverish, and her digestion impaired
to certain extent. To place her on
| full feed at this time is to invite trou-
| BILE. But If she Is in good condition
the Withholding of her feed will result
| in no harm, inasmuch as her needs
will be taken care of by the fat stored
on the body. A thin COW has no such
reserve and one has to choose between
decreased production or take chances
on her powers to stand up under full
feed.
A COW should be given at least six
weeks rest. If intermittent and par
tial milking fails to dry her up, with
holding the grain ration and feeding
roughage such as timothy and straw
will be found helpful. Ten days or
two weeks should be allowed a COW to
reach full feed after freshenfhg.

and fields and flowers looked like. She
never let go Of that picture, though 1t
was growing more and more blurred
in her mind. AS the picture faded, her
longing to renew it increased.
In the center Of Sheffield lay a broad
square, or park, a fine turfed plaza
overlooked by the municipal buildings
and primped with rows of subdued,
citified trees. This turfed breathing
spot was Mary Alice's objective; she
wanted more than anything else, she
thought, fresh air. But as the child
emerged from the purlieus of Calvert
street into the more elegant thorough
fares Of the town, she came into the
zone of brighter lights. Presently she
came to a window with a character of
its own. It was a very large window,
set in a frame Of snowy enamel. Be-
yond a glass blazed the porcelain glo-
ries of quick lunch. Mary Alice's
mouth began to water.
But the chief attraction of that win
dow, the feature that suddenly glued
Mary Alice's shabby little feet to the
bricks and fixed her large black eyes
IL stare of longing fascination, was
the griddle-cake hot plate, its shining
black surface disked with yeasty
moons of pure gold.
Behind the hot plate stood fat
young man, cased starchily in sheath
of white duck and crowned with a rak-
ish. laundered cap, tipped over one
moody brow. On a thin-bladed turner
he manipulated the delicacies, and
tossed them with skilled Indifference
upon plate which Beautiful Lady
came and removed swiftly.

the Shorthorn has q docile tempera-
ment that has long been a factor in its
popularity. Shorthorn blood has
very decided potency and improves all
classes Of stock upon which 1t may
be used.
The Live Stock Journal. London.
England, July 20 issue, states edito-
rally as follows:
I'm the matter of the adaptability
the great source Of improved beef
blood the world over has been the
Shorthorn. The milk stock Of New
England and the Longhorn of Texas
both received their first improvement
through the heritage from Bates and
Booth and the Ceilings. In the blue
grass region the sons and daughters
of Durham found their best environ
ment, and the Shorthorn became then,
as 1t still remains, the backbone of
the corn belt and the stay Of the gen.
eral farmer. In the West and South
west the first warming up given the
scrub and Mexican cattle was at the
hands of this breed; the rise in the
beef industry in the Argentine is al
most inseparable from the expansion
Of the ShOrthorn interests, while from
20 to 80 per cent of the Australasian
chilled beef Is evolved from grass be-
meath red, white and roam pelts. In
such a manner this British breed Of
generalized achievement encircles
the world. Its adaptability grants it
the pioneering quality; its all-around
usefulness DEGREES its permanence.'
The Polled Durham is the hornless
ShOrthorn, and a favOrite with many
on account of its hornless feature. The
red Polled breed is also q favorite in
some sections and combines the beef
and milk characteristics. But the
Shorthorn has been the favorite from
because of the several qualities that
are combined and that are produced
from generation to generation, work
ing improvement wherever applied.
1t is this dual purpose characteristic
that suits the purposes of the great
mass of farmers who. for various rea-
sons, do not engage in specialized
farming. Mixed husbandry has long
been recognized as the foundation of
our agricultural prosperity and the
ShOrthorn has admirably and success
fully contributed in large measure to
the advancement of diversified farm
ing.

COLT REQUIRES BOTH

Growing FoaI Needs More Food
Than Milk Given by Dam to
Make Mature Weight.

BY PROF. M. g. THORNBURG, Depart
nent of Animal Husbandry. Iowa State
College.)
To make an 1,SOO-pound horse at
maturity, the colt should weigh from
600 to 700 pounds at weaving time
and 1000 pounds at one year. To
make the usual standard Of 60 per
cent mature weight at II months,
the growing colt needs more food than
the milk given him by his mother.
Some oats, fed in separate box so
his mother cannot get it, is better for
growth than corn because it Is a more
balanced feed. A little bran and corn
will do II the oats are not available.
Even if the colt is on pasture, he needs
little grain.
II the mare is working, the colt
should not follow her, wearing him

Comparatively few farms are adapt
ed to strictly special purposes and
fewer farmers are inclined to special
lied vacations. The income on the
farm is usually of larger value when
derived from several sources. The
maintenance Of live stock Is a neces-
sity in order to maintain fertility. The
production Of live stock necessitates
grasses for pastures and meadows
which conserve and build up the soil
fertility. Crop rotation naturally fol-
lows.
The question arises as to what breed
of live stock Is best adapted to the
conditions and will insure the largest
returns. Long experience has proved
the combination of beef and milk pro-
ductiOn the most profitable and best
adapted to the varying conditions in
all parts of the country. Here and
there a man devotes his entire atten-
ton and resources to beef making; ex-
elusive dairying Is engaged in by a
limited number; but the great mass
Of farmers are neither inclined to nor
situated so that they can engage to the
best advantage in these individual or
specialized lines.
The breed Of cattle that meets the
needs of this large aggregation of av-
erage farmers, that suits their condi-
lions, that may be relied upon to yield
profitable return. Is the breed that
experience has shown combine a prof
liable yield of both beef and milk.
There are several breeds that combine
TO greater or less degree these char
aeteristics. The Shorthorn Is the
most widely disseminated and has
been bred In greater numbers for
many generations. The distinctive
characteristics of the breed are adapt
ed to the conditions described. When
not in milk the cows readily take on
flesh, and If occasionally one does not
yield liberal flow, she quickly con-
verts the feed consumed into beef and
is thus working toward the profit mark
through one channel or the other all
of the time. The calves. If the owner
desires to dispose of them, are eagerly
sought for feeders and butchers at
advanced prices. If they are devel-
oped on the farm they make liberal
gains and attain larger weights at
given age than most other breeds. The
quality of flesh has always made the
Shorthorn popular ut the packing CEN
tiers. Combined with these advantages,

have clean, well-ventilated box stall
or lot to run in where he can get his
feed while his mother is working. A
little clover hay and water will keep
him contented. The fences and sides
OK the stall need to be in good shape,
else he Is likely to get tangled up and
hart himself.
If he has the run of the lot, he will
gst more exercise, which is essential
la developing strong colt. If the
mother and colt are out on grass on
idle days and nights, the grass will in
crease the mothers milk flow and the
colt will soon learn to nibble at the
grass. If the colt eats grass and hay
when he is weuned, he will not notice
the change and keep right on growing
