This disease has been reported in

Gently been identified in certain sec
tons of Oregon. 1t is most serious
where the stand of alfalfa is heavy
and spreads fastest in the fall, when
the surface soil is constantly wet. 1t
also attacks clover.
The moisture causes rot to develop
on the stems near the surface of the
soil and this forms a point of attack
for the wilt disease. A white cotton
like mold grows over the surface OF
the stems and leaves affected. The
roots of the plant are not, however,
always destroyed.

GERS of the Concordia, Milwaukee Me-

fire insurance companies of Wisconsin,
that New Jersey threatens to collect
taxes on money paid by these COM
panies for reinsurance in New Jersey

sured them that if this is done, the
same rule will be applied to New Jer

state, which will make a larger tax
than the $4,000 that New Jersey
would collect for the eight years COW

statute permits the reciprocal taxation.

Trapping Partridqes,

How cartridges are trapped in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, in the win

measuring from Is to 80 feet, and
about eight inches high, is put down
with stanchions; horizontally IN the
center is an opening similar to the
hoop nets fol fishing; the opening
in the net is cone-shaped, diminishing
in size. The METER mounts horse
and starts at the distant side of the
field, riding in walk backward and
forward, his objective point being the
net. If he encounters a bunch of
birds they will run before the horse.
He then begins to so direct his horse
as to drive them to the net. being
always careful not 70 flush them.
When he reaches the net the birds dis
cover the opening and enter, the
whole process being similar to driving
sheep into a pen. When the birds
are safe the netter dismounts and Sc
cures his game.

Tank for Storing Milk.

other apparatus should be covered to
prevent all unnecessary contact with

The milk must be kept cool after it

If not used at once the cans should
be put into refrigerator or the milk
stored in tanks made for this purpose.
These tanks must be in a cool place
or be surrounded with a jacket of ice
water or brine. Strainers or cheese
cloth are more satisfactory and more
easily cleaned than those of wire
gauze, but the use of strainers of any
kind should be avoided as much as
possible. Some dealers strain the

kept where the air is pure. 1t can be
used few days before throwing away,
but the cotton, of course, should be
used only once. AS soon as the milk
is put up all parts of the apparatus

In this country, though we have pro-

become nation of singers. There are,
it is true, in most of the leading cities,
choral societies, but the singing of
large groups of people is comparative
ly uncommon among us. Here is a
matter for regret, for among all large
bodies of singers where there has been
more or less training the effect is beau
tiful and inspiring. In fact, there are
few things in music more impressive
than the singing of hundreds Of

The pumps and pipes can be rinsed
by pumping water through them i'm
mediately after using. They must
then be taken down and thoroughly
washed; this can easily be done if
there are several couplings in the

be kept tight and free from dirt, rust

to clean, should not be used
The pasteurizer is one of the most
difficult pieces of machinery to keep

cleaned, a cooked layer forms on the
inside, which grows worse each day.

Mr.. Ringing was the oldest of the

the big circuses of the United States,
whose winter headquarters are To-

Mr.. Ringing is survived by his

REDUCE COST OF BUTTERFAT
Result Given of Experiment With Sill
age at Kansas Experiment Sta
tion-Feed Cost Saved.

An experiment conducted at the
Kansas experiment station shows
that silage reduces the cost Of pro-
ducing butterfat from 80 cents to 81
cents. The herds in this case were
of sufficient size to give reliable data
and eliminate the difference that
might occur between two cows.
The lot which were fed silage gave
seven pounds more milk in the sum-
mer and 95.5 pounds more in winter
per month than the herd which were
fed dry feed.
The butterfat was also increased by
.46 In summer and 4,6 in winter. The
difference in the cost of feed was even
greater. The silage-fed cows saved
60 cents per month in the cost of feed.

EnsiIage for Lambs,

Lambs that are being fattened need
some kind of succulent food. and for
this purpose corn-ensilage is a good
substitute for roots. The expense OF
growing, and the additional labor re-
quired in caring for them, make the
growing of root crops Improbable for
many of the flock owners, especially
when ensilage can be produced more
easily and for less cost per ton.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Silage as Winter Ration.

Investigations at the Missouri
experiment station show conclu-
sively that cattle can be win
tered economically on ration
made up largely Of silage. ac-
cording to F. B. Mumford. dean
of the college of agriculture,
University of Missouri.
In one experiment ration of
corn silage and clover hay with
out grain fed to yearling cattle
for $50 days resulted in gain
of 200 pounds for the feeding
period of $50 days, at a total
cost of $11,6N or a cost Of SO
cents pound of gain, as COM
pared With total cost of $15.-
rs, and rs cents a pound, when
similar lot of cattle was fed
on six pounds of shelled corn
per head per day and clover
hay.
These results have been con-
firmed in other experiments.
which all point to the conclu-
sion that when silage consti-
tutes the major portion of the
ration ted to wintering stock
cattle the cost of wintering is
much reduced.
