PREVENTION OF OATS SMUT
FormaIdehdye Treatment Has Been
Thoroughly Tested and Found En-
fective Against Disease.

Just before seeding oats is the time
to prevent oats smut. The formalde-
hyde treatment has been thoroughly
tested and found effective, and is the
cheapest kind of insurance against the
dir ease. AS an example, the Cornell
sutton points out that a man who
planted five acres of oats last year
had a fourth of it affected by smut,
so that the yield was only $50 bush
els. Had he treated the seed, there
would have been an additional SO
bushels. At SO cents a Dushel this in
creased yield would have brought him
$25 The treatment, including mate
rial and labor, could not cost more
than So, which would have meant
net profit of $23. Farm experts claim
that it pays to treat seed oats even
II it prevents only two per cent loss.
The formaldehyde solution, which is
q colorless pungent liquid and prefer
ably of 40 per cent strength as pur'
chased, may be obtained at any drug
store for about 80 cents pint. 1t
sometimes goes under the trade name
of formalin.

COLTS AND CALVES IN FALL
Practical pairymen and HorsemeI
Make Most Profit Out Of Animals
Dropped in Autumn.

We have inherited from our ances.
tors the idea that spring is the time
for calves and colts. But the most
practical dairymen now know that
COWS which fresh0n in the fall are
apt to make them more money than
the ones which come in in the spring.
The succulent pastures OF May and
June cause great flow when milk ie
cheapest; and the usual August
drought cuts down the yield so early
In lactation that the loss in getting
the COW back or trying to do so is
great.
When milk is dearest the COWS are
drying up. But the fall freshening
COW, when comfortably housed gives
her full yield in the winter, wien milk
Is scarce Just as she begins to need
crowding, to prevent q shrinkage in
her yield, the spring grass comes on
and gives her the required boost. The
August drought strikes her about the
time she ought to begin to dry off
anyhow.
But fewer realize the arguments
for the fall colt. The dam Of a colt
dropped in October has the entire
winter of leisure to devote to the
duties Of maternity. She is off work
when the drain on her vitality is the
greatest. If the colt has warm quar-.
tiers at night and during stormy
weather he will do as we'll as he
would in summer When he is weaned,
the grass is ready for him. He has
more vitality to devote to flies and
mosquitoes. Some mighty good horse.
men think the fall colt is the only
colt for them.

WEIGH AND TEST MlLK
Lack of Records Is Reason fon
Improbable Cows.
Only Reliable Way to Learn Whether
Individual Animals in Dairy Are
Paying Is to Keep Tab on
Production Of Each.

1t is variously estimated that one
fourth to one-third of the number OF
COWS in Wisconsin-one of the very
best dairy states in the Union-belong
to the class that is referred to as
"robber COWS" or star boarders,'
from the fact that they do not pay
for their keep, to say nothing about
yielding a profit to their owners. Ac-
cording to Mr.. F. N. Woll, the main
reason why farmers continue to keep
such cows is that they do not know
how the accounts stand with the indi.
vidual COWS in their herds. They do
not know how much milk or butter
fat the different cows produce, nor
how much feed they consume, or
it's cost.
There are, on the other hand, many
dairy herds in the state that average
over twice 40 pounds Of butterfat
(the estimated average production in
the state) year. These are yielding

lCopvright 1916. by w. G. Chapman.)
With the skill of an expert boat
woman and a strength born OF exer-
else and practice, Hazel Grey drove
the yawl under her control against
the shingly beach, leaped out and ran
swiftly TO the spot where fellow
creature lay in deadly peril.
She had sculled the clumsy craft
from the little island in the center OF
the lake and half the distance accom-
plished had hurried her course, tor
this is what she noted: A young man
topping over the edge of the bluff ~
feet up from the beach. Either he
had slipped in venturing descent or
had been asleep and rolled down the
steep slope. In any event the fall had
been had one, for he lay half sub
merged by the water, his eyes closed
and apparently unconscious.
Hazel lost no time in dragging the
half suffocated victim out Of the wa
ter. He stirred as she did so. She
looked troubled and full of pity as she
noticed a bruise near his temple. In
landing his head had struck stone.
Abruptly he sat up and looked about
him in a dazed way. Then a glance
at the fair girl brought full intelli-
gence.
"Hello!" he calculated and arose.
Hazel drew back, shy and blushing.
He seemed to comprehend what she
had done through a glance at the wet
streak where his body had been
dragged over the sand. He rubbed the
abrasion over his brow. His eyes lit

more and more farmers learn how to

secure the best returns.
The only way to learn whether the
individual cows in dairy herd yield
a profit is to weigh and test their milk

accuracy. This work of testing the

by a farmer himself, by means OF

It can be done by outside parties,
either comparatively in the cow-test-
ing association, or by the system OF
official testing of dairy COWS conducted
by the experiment stations.
AS a special incentive to better
dairying q dairy COW competition for
the benefit Of COW owners in this state
was begun several years ago which
lasted two years.
A large number Of extraordinarily
high records were made. Nearly two
thirds of the COWS produced over 400
pounds of buttcrfat during the year,
or considerably more than twice the
average production of dairy COWS IN
Wisconsin and other states.
Striking fundamental facts relating
to the dairy production Of COWS are
brought out by the results obtained
in this important competition. It
