DEATH OF CHICKENS
LAID TO ROSE BUGS
Expert of Connecticut Station
ACCumuIateS Data to JUS
tify Accusation.

The New Jersey station advises that
for many years rose bugs have been
accused of causing the death of chick
ems by poisoning. Recently G.. II. Lam
son of the Connecticut station has ac-
cumulatcd data to show this accuSa-
ton is justified. Mr. LamsOn used at
least $50 chickens of various ages in
his experiments. He fed these birds
either with the rose bugs or with an
extract prepared by soaking their
crushed bodies in distilled water. 1t
was found that from IL to 20 rose
bugs were sufficient TO kill a chicken
one week old, that - to 40 killed the
three-weebs-old birds and that the ten
weekS-old specimens were rarely de-
stroyed by the maximum number they
would consume. 1t was also found
that small chickens died within few
hours after being fed on the extract.
Older chickens of greater weight, when
fed a small quantity of the extract,
lived but showed signs of poisoning.
Larger doses resulted in their death.

REASONS FOR CREAM
THAT WON'T CHURN
Sometimes Due to Bacteria That
Get Into Milk Utensils
Cause of Tainted Milk.

There is no satisfactory explanation
that always holds good for cream that
foams up and makes about twice its
former bulk and is finally thrown away
in disgust after the housewife has
churned it for hours without the
slightest sign Of butter. Sometimes
it is due to certain bacteria that may
get into the milk utensils or into the
cream.
More often it is some organic Pc
culiarity of the COW herself and mani
tests itself usually after the first half
Of the tactical period Where the cow
has freshened again the trouble may
never reappear or it may become
chronic, in which case the COW should
be sold.
Tainted milk is often traced to feed
or some kind Of weeds or grass the
COW is eating and sometimes to fla
vors and odors absorbed from the air
at milking time or in the milkhouse or
cellar The exact cause of these
things is impossible to determine at
a distance and sometimes a skilled OBJ
server right on the ground can't
find it.

BUY BEST GRADE OF
OIL FOR MACHINERY
Lubricant for Gas Tractor Must
Have Sufficient Body" to
Withstand Friction.

(By n r. STEFFINS, Engineering De-
partment Of South Dakota State Col
lege)
Use the best grade of gas engine
cylinder oil obtainable in the gas
tractor. The oil must have sufficient
body" to withstand the friction and
high temperature of the cylinder and
piston. 1t must also be an oil that
when burned will deposit the least
possible amount of carbon. Oil that
works while the engine burns gasoline
will not always give satisfactory re-
suits when using Kerosene or some
less volatile fuel due to the higher
temperature of the piston and cylinder
walls. When using kerosene as fuel,
Il very high iire-test lubricnting oil
should be used. Never use steam cyl
inder or ordinary machine oil in cyl
inder fabrication, as it will burn and
cause the engine to lose power.
