INCREASE In DAIRY PROFITS
Breeders Find 1t More Profitable to
Have Cows Freshen in Fall
More Milk Produced.

Because more milk would be pro
iuced in the year and calves would be
raised cheaper, farmers find it most
profitable to have their cows freshen
in the fall months. Cows bred now will
drop calves by early fall.
The cow gives large flow of milk
at the beginning of the period of lac
tation. In the spring the milk yield,
which gradually falls off, is suddenly
increased when the COW is turned on
fresh pasture.
Calves born in the fall need mainly
milk and eat little grain during the
period of winter feeding. When spring
comes they are ready to be turned on
pasture. Spring calves consume milk
and grain during the cheap pasture
season and require the same high
priced feeds during the following win.
ter, when they are older and thus eat
more. The fall-born calf at the same
age needs only pasture.
At the Ohio experiment station
some calves born in the fall were
raised for about So less than others
born in the spring. Under average
farm conditions this difference would
be fed to fall-born calves on pasture
while those at the station were given
grain because of shortage of pasture

CONTROLLING POTATO
BEETLE BY SPRAYING
Results of Field Work Conducted
at TideWater, Virginia, Dur
ing Season of 1914.

A report recently received from the
Virginia station contains a general
summary of the results of field work
on the control of the Colorado potato
beetle conducted in Tidewater, Vir-
ginia, during the season of 1914. The
results indicate that for the farmer
who grows five acres or more of pota-
toes bordeaux mixture a &c :50), to-
gether with arsenate of lead paste
from four to six pounds, and one pound
of paris green to so gallons of mixture
has not yet been surpassed as a spray
for potatoes by any of the proprietary
insecticides now in use either from the
standpoint of efficiency or economy.
1t is thought that the most economical
and efficient results in spraying under
Tidewater conditions may be obtained
through the application of paris green
and lime dust when the first green
shoots are showing, followed as soon
as the plants are from four to eight
inches high by some liquid spray, pref
erably that above mentioned. This
should be applied at least every ten
days.

was given two gallons of milk a day.
The whole milk calves made the best
gains the first three months but during
the next three months the skim milk
calves nearly caught up, the four lack
ing but 15 pounds of weighing as much
as the whole milk calves, and several
expert cattlemen who examined the
two lots pronounced the calves in lot
B in as thrifty a condition as those in
lot A. The saving in using skim milk
and flax in place of the whole milk
amounted to $40 per calf for the six
month period. The grain and hay cost
the same for both lots.

SKIM MILK FOR DAIRY CALVES
Found to Be Nearly Equal in Value to
Whole Milk in Experiment at
North Dakota Station.

In feeding the dairy calf, the aim is
TO cut down the period of whole milk
feeding. At the North Dakota ex-
pertinent station, two lots of four
calves each We're fed as follows: Whole
milk first three weeks both lots. From
then on lot A was fed one-half whole
milk and One-half skim milk till six
months old. Lot B, after three weeks
old, was fed skim milk with fiaxseed.
Just enough flax was added to supply
as much fat as was given the calves in
lot A in their whole milk. Each calf

KEEPING CROWS OUT
OF THE CORN FIELD
ScarecroW Is Still in Common
Use-Be Careful in Using
Poison of Any Kind.
(By F. L. WASHBURN.)


Scarecrows, poisoned corn and crows
hung from poles in the field are COM
mon methods Of protecting seed corn
from crows.
mon use about the corn fields and some
farmers string white cord about the
field from which they hang bright
pieces of tin which f1utter in the wind.
Scarecrows, if used, should be
changed occasionally. The crows soon
become accustomed to any scarecrow,
however.
A very effective way of keeping
crows from the corn is to shoot two
or three and hang them by a string
from poles in the field. Some farmers
resort to trapping and, having caught
a few crows in steel traps, hang
them a1ive from poles. This is not
humane practice, and we cannot there
fore, recommend it.
II one uses poisoning, corn may be
soaked In a solution Of strychnine.
Ten cents worth Of sulphate Of strych-
nesdissolved in enough hot water to
soak two quarts of corn will serve
we'll. Poisoned bait Of this kind
should be scattered about the field late
in the evening, when there will be less
danger Of its being eaten by poultry
stock or game Birds

their honey Stomachs with honey. In
this condition they are less liable to
sting. Pinching bees between the
fingers invites trouble as it is their
privilege and nature to resent such
careless treatment. The warm part of
the day when the workers are actively
gathering nectar or pollen is the best
time TO handle the colony, for at such
times there are fewer bees in the hive
and those present are more docile. The
brood chamber should not be opened
when the weather is cold, if it can be
avoided, for the queen and the brood
may become chilled.
These are few of the precautions
which the beginning beekeeper in par
ticular should keep in mind. A care
full study of the bee and it's life and
habits and a little effort to adjust ones
actions to those of the bees will soon
make beekeeping both an interesting
and profitable pursuit. Every farmer
should produce his own supply of
honey by keeping and properly car
ing for few stands of bees.

HONEY BEE is NOT
OF VICIOUS NATURE
Little Insect Is Not Troublesome
When Carefully Handled
Hints for Beginner.

To the beginning beekeeper, his first
attempt to open the hive and handle
the combs and bees may be beset with
some difficulties, but in time this be-
comes the most fascinating part Of
beekeeping. Leonard Haseman Of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture would
have the beginner study the bees. their
habits, nature, likes and dislikes, and
then accustom himself to their ways.
The honey bee is not vicious crea-
ture, and If given anything like the
consideration it deserves it will not
fight.
Careless or nervous handling will
start trouble in any bee colony. A veil
should be worn to protect the face.

BADeER-UsEFUL in DESTROYING RODENTS

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The plains marmot. or prairie dog
is widely distributed on the plains east
of the Rocky mountains, from northern
Mexico almost to the Canadian border
Several other forms occupy the noun
tain valleys and parks westward. All
live in thickly populated colonies, or
"towns," and subSist on vegetation.
They often take fully half the pastur-
age on the ranges and greatly reduce
the carrying capacity for live stock.
Several Western states have attempted
to provide for the determination of
prairie dogs through legislation en-
actments; and in some of them, no.
tably Kansas, the pest has greatly de-
creased. Within the national forests
settlers have complained of inability to
cope with the animals, because their
lands when freed from prairie dogs
are reinfested from the surrounding
government lands. For this reason
and for range Improvement the depart
ment of agriculture has undertaken
systematic determination work within
the forests and has already succeeded
in freeing large areas of these animals.
Trapping is too slow a method of ex-
terminating prairie dogs, and fumiga-
ton is too expensive. AS in the case
of ground squirrels, strychnine has
proved to be the most satisfactory poi
son. Oats of the best quality obtain
able should be used as bait. 1t has
been found that prairie dogs take this
grain readily, even when green food is
abundant. Wheat is well adapted for
winter poisoning, and il the South,
where heavy oats are rarely obtain
able, milo maize or feterita is an ex-
cellent substitute.
Mix thoroughly / ounce of powdered
(alkaloid) and 1 ounce Of
common baking soda (bicarbonate). |
Dissolve 1 heaping tablespoonful of |
dry laundry starch in little cold wa

ter and add it to three-fourths pint Of
boiling water. Boil and stir until 6
thin, clear paste is formed. Slowly
sift the mixture of strychnine and soda
into the starch paste, stirring constant
ly to form a smooth, creamy mass
Add one-fourth pint of heavy corn
strip and 1 tablespoonful of glycerin
and stir. Add one-tenth ounce of sac
charine, and again stir thoroughly
Pour this mixture while still hot over
IS quarts of clean oats, and mix until
all the grain is coated.
If alkalOid strychnine is not avail
able, the sulphate may be used, either
powdered or in crystals, but it is neces-
sary to vary the formula. Dissolve the
strychnine in the boiling water before
adding the cold starch solution. After
the poisoned starch paste is clear, stir
in the soda very slowly. Afterwards
add the sirup, glycerin and saccha-
rine as in the above directions and mix
with the grain.
For mixing small quantities an ordi-
nary metal washtub is convenient. For
large quantities tight, smooth box
may be used, and the mixing done with
a hoe or spade.
Each quart of the prepared grain is
sufficient to treat about fifty prairie
dog burrows. Scatter the grain on
clean, hard ground near the mounds or
burrows, never on loose soil or in
holes. With reasonable care, cattle,
sheep, or other live stock on the range
will not be endangered.
This poison is effective at any sea-
son when prairie dogs are active, but,
on the whole, early spring or time of
drought, when green food is scarce, is
preferred for poison operations. In the
South or wherever the animals do not

The cost of complete exter-
mination of the animals, including
labor, need not exceed four or five
cents an acre.

Dragged River for Body
But Failed to Find II

Although a crew of ten experienced
river meu were busy yesterday and
this morning in dragging the river foI
the body of II. R. Winslow, who was
drowned yesterday morning, the body
had not been recovered up to late
this afternoon. The crew was working
until noon today just below the
Southern Pacific Railroad bridge This
afternoon their work was continued at
the Kaiser bar, about six miles north
of the city. The general impression is
that on account of the strong current,
that if the body is not recovered by
tomorrow, it viii be a week before it
will raise from the bottom of the river
Besides his wife, Mrs. Cornelia Brant
Winslow, he is survived by three chill
dren, Clifford, age 6 years, Helen, age
years and the baby, a few weeks old.
He is also survived by his mother,
three brothers and two sisters. Roy
Brant, brother of Mrs. Winslow from
Yoncalla is here assisting in the search
for the body.
