DAIRY
HOW TO AVOID BITTER MILK
Use of Laxative Feeds Is Recommend.
ed as notwithstanding
Difficulties Relieved.

Both the quality and quantity of a
herds milk production depend on the
physical fitness of the cows as well
as on the nutrients In the feed. Bitter
milk and milk with a strong odor both
indicate that something In the cows
digestive system Is out OF order. A
few doses OF EPSON salts are frequent
ly Of benefit, but better method Is
to choose the feed that disorders will
not occur.
Among DAIRY feeds that are in
clined to be constipating and a cause
Of bitter milk are corn fodder, corn
stover, timothy hay (and most hays ex-
cept those from leguminous crops like
clover and ALFALFA. all straws, cotton
seed meal.
Among the feeds that are laxative
in their effect on the system are lin
seed meal, wheat bran, silage, hay
from the legumes, roots, tubers and
fruits, all fresh green feeds.
The use of feeds in the second list
will in large measure prevent Bit
ter milk and also the difficulties Of
churning cream skinned from such
milk.

ius and his Dutch blockaders Before
II southerly breeze the Spanard ran for
the north, abandoning the effort to gain
command of the seas and hoping only
to round Scotland and make his way
back home.
The rest is pitiful tale. The Eng
lish followed until August 2, their guns
laundering and their hearts exulting as
now and then tall ship plunged be-
meath the waves. Then perceiving an
apparent shift of the Spanish course
toward Norway, and being themselves
well nigh out of ammunition they
thought it best, in the words of Drake,
to "leave them to those boisterous and
uncOuth northern seas"
The weather that summer was al
most succession Of gales. The clumsy
Spanish ships were hard put to it to
keep afioat. Many of them foundered
at sea with all on board. At least 10
are known to have gone ashore on the
coast Of Ireland, where the Irish either
put the survivors to the sword or sent
them with halters round their necks
to Elizabeth at London. OF all the
magnificent fleet which had put to sea
with such pageantry and pride less
than so craft succeeded in making
their way back to Spanish ports.
Philips dream Of world conquest
was at an end. Not so much as a
single English pinnace had the great
armada sunk. England and the seas
about her were to remain free and
unconquered. The sea kings of Brit
ain had saved her and in truth singed
the beard of the king Of Spain.
Drake sleeps deep in Nombre Dois

Hoe and England has his promise:
"If the Dons sight Devon,
I'll leave the port Of heaven
And we'll drum them up the Channel

CAPTURE OF COOLING MOTHS
Around Tree Trunk Effective
In Reducing Numbers.

One Of the new-fangled contraptions
for the orchard is trap to catch the
codling moth. Most Of the cOdling
larvae after leaving the apples spin
silken case or web under the rough
bark on the trunk and there change
to the moth stage. The old practice
Of placing a burlap band around the
trunk to entice the worms has been
effective in reducing their number, but
is rarely used as 1t requires great
deal of attention. The new trap con-
sists of a strip Of burlap wound around
the trunk in the usual way, but over
this is tackled strip of 12-mesh
screen, six or eight inches wide, which
encircles the tree trunk over the bur-
lap band. The upper and lower edges
of the screen are turned under and
carefully tackled to the bark, which
has been scraped smooth.

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Summer Work Is Necessary II Profit
Is to Be Made-Three Methods
Given by Expert.

Summer cultivation Of the orchard
is necessary If profit is to be made,
in the opinion of II. S. Merrill, assist
ant professor of horticulture in the
Kansas States Agricultural college.
"Three methods may be practiced in
the cultivation of IN orchard" said
Professor Merrill. "The first of these
is the sod-mulch system. This is prac-
ticed on bottom land or land high in
fertility. Orchards on fertile land are
likely to produce heavy growth Of
wood, which prevents the formation of
fruit buds. In order to overcome this
grass crop should be sOwed in the
orchard. The grass crop is moved
when necessary and allowed to re-
main on the ground.
"The second method often used,
consists of sowing grass crop in the
orchard and harvesting the hay. This
system is injurious to the trees and re-
duces the size and value of the fruit.
"Where the topography and slope of
the land will permit, clean cultivation
is advisable. 1t kills the weeds and
conserves the moisture. Orchards cul-
tivated in this manner will produce
larger fruit than under other systems
Of cultivation.
"Clean cultivation will keep down
insect pests by destroying their hiber-
mating places and food supply. The
buffalo tree-hopper Is less injurious
in clean cultivated orchards because 1t
removes their food supply"

GIVE CALF PALS ATTENTION
During Warm Weather Especial At.
tention Should Be Given to Uten-
sils-keep Them Clean.

The farmer who uses the swill pail
for feeding calves or who hangs the
pail on a post between feelings with
out washing it will soon be looking for
q cure for calf scours. The dirty calf
pail is one of the chief causes of
scours. according to L. w. Wing, Jr.,
of the University of Missouri College
Of Agriculture. With the fly season
and warm weather at hand extra pre-
cautions must be taken in caring for
the calf pals. They should be washed
thoroughly after each feed and steri-
lized either with steam or hot water.
After the pals have been sterilized
they should be inverted in a clean
protected place until time to use them
again.

DOG HAS THE SIXTH SENSE
Scientists Declare Canine Possesses
One More Than Number OF Which
Human Beings Boast.

Human beings, as is well known,
boast five senses; but the scientists
argue that the dog goes one better. and
possesses six. What the sixth sense
is has long puzzled the best authori-
ties. 1t Is something more than the
mere sense of smell, as the following
instances show, according to London
Tit-Bits.
1t Is possible, for instance, for dog
to make its way into crowd of people
and pick out it's master. In so doing
the animal uses its sense of smell !;
but there is another qualification to
be accounted for. Cases have fire.
quently been reported where dogs,
after being taken on long journeys by
train, have been lost amid their new
surroundings, eventually to find their
way home again. Such q case Is that
of q retriever which was taken by
train to st. Adams, but, leaving its new
home shortly after arrival, returned to
its home at Highgate Hill.
1t took the retriever two days to
cover this distance, and the dog was
well-nigh exhausted when 1t reached
Highgate Hill. How is it possible for
a dog to pick out its way in such a
manner? one might ask. The dog has
undoubtedly more than the five senses
credited to human beings, but scien-
fists have yet to tell us what the extra
one Is.
When the dog has been taught to
speak we may perhaps have the prob
lem solved from self-experience.

FEED CALVES SKINNED MILK
Richer in Protein Than Whole Milk,
but Lower in Carbohydrates
Use Clean Vessels.

Skinned milk is little richer in
protein than whole milk, but lower in
carbohydrates. Since most Of the fat
has been removed in the cream the
skinned milk will need carbohydrates
to make it a balanced ration for
calves.
A good plan is to replace a portion
of the whole milk with skinned milk,
gradually increase the skinned milk

ments to be fed with skinned milk.
Some feeders cook the meal, stir 1t
in the skinned milk and feed 1t to
the calf. After the calf is two weeks
old 1t will eat fine ground meal and IL
fed small quantities will assimilate It.
Linseed meal is also used.
Care should be taken in feeding
calves. They should be taught to
drink from the pail as soon as pos
sible. Nothing but clean vessels should
be used and the milk should be clean
