FORMALIN USEFUL FOR SMUT
Treatment Is Simple, but Generally
Effective-AIIow Grain to Dry
Before Sowing.

The formalin treatment to prevent
smut, concealed smut Of wheat, scab
and other diseases of Irish potatoes is
simple, but generally effective.
For wheat or oats pour one ounce of
formalin, which may be had at drug
stores, in three gallons of water. The
seed grain is then dipped in the solu-
ton or the solution may be poured over
the grain. The grain should be left
covered for about two hours.
Never put the grain back in sacks
where grain was before, as the germs
of the disease are likely to get start.
The grain should be allowed to dry be-
fore it is Sown.

PROPER COW FEEDING
Must Be Done as individuals and
Not as a Herd.
Undertaking Is Perhaps More Conn
mon Than Overlooking, Says Kan
sas Expert-Roughage Should
Form Foundation.

Cows must be fed as individuals and
not as q herd if they are to be fed
economically, asserts o. e. Reed, pro-
fessor of dairy husbandry in the Kan,
sas State Agricultural college. The
quantity of milk produced by the cow
is an indication of the quantity of feed
she must have.
The first use to which the animal
puts its food, whether producing milk
or not, is to maintain the functions Of
the body. The feed in excess of this
amount is used for producing milk,
storing fat, or for growth of the foetus.
That underfeeding Us perhaps more:
common than overlooking, is the belief
of Professor Reed. The effect of I'M
derfeeding may not be noticed at once,
as the cow will produce milk for a time
by converting the surplus flesh Of her
body into milk. Hence, if COW de-
clines in weight while she is producing
milk, it is an indication that she is not
receiving enough feed. On the other
hand, the overfed cow may put fat on
her body or she may get off feed.
The feeds in a ration must be such
as to provide a sufficient bulk to salts
fy the appetite and feeding capacity Of
the animal, and to furnish the amount
of nutrients needed by the cow. An
animal may be fed enough nutrients
in the form of grain to perform her
work, but she may receive too little
bulk to be satisfied.
The roughage should form the foun-
dalton of the dairy ration. A COW
should have all the roughage she can
clean up, and the grain ration should
be regulated by the amount of milk
produced. A COW should be fed one
pound of grain to each three pounds
of rich milk produced and one pound
of grain to four pounds less rich milk.
The three substances which must
be considered in making up the ration
of the dairy COW are protein, car
bohydrates, and fats. These sub
stances are found in all feeds but in
varying proportions.
Cows must be fed intelligently if
the highest and most economical re-
turns are obtained. One of the prin-
cipalsreasons for the low average. pro-
duction of the Kansas cow is that
she is not properly fed.
Economic feeding resolves itself into
the study and execution Of the lesson
which nature teaches. The cow makes
her greatest production in the early
summer. The intelligent feeder there
fore will strive to maintain similar
conditions as nearly as possible
throughout the year.

Russian Situation Hopeful

The soldier in the old Russiln
army had fewer rights than dog
and was treated far worse. Thu
wonder is, not that the new Rus
sian army has so little discipline,
but that it has so much. So says
Charles Edward Russell, of the Root
commission who has just returned
from Russia, and whose article OIL
the new Slav republic in Hearts
Magazine for November amounts
practically to an official report on
Russian conditions. Mr.. Russell,
with ull knowledge of all that
Russia is now g1ing through, is
very hopeful about the eastern sit
uation, and believes that by next
spring the Russian armies will again
be doing their full share in making
the Grid safe for democracy.
