GOOD OUTFIT FOR SPRAYING
Doing Thorough Work of Big
Importance.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The spraying outfit is not complete
nor efficient unless properly equipped
with useful accessories. Spraying de-
vices that will save time or aid the
fruit grower in doing more thorough
work should be provided. The equip
ment need not necessarily be elaborate
nor expensive, but should be sufficient
ly complete and modern so that the or
chardiSt will not be handicapped when
the time to spray is at hand. Spraying,
to be most effective, must be done at
critical periods and delays caused by
insufficient or inferior equipment may
mean a heavy monetary loss.
Large trees cannot be properly
sprayed without the aid Of a tower
that will enable the sprayman to reach
the highest parts Of the trees and to
see where and how he is applying the
spray material. The height and shape
of the tower will depend Upon the size
Of the trees, and their distance be-
tween the rows. Square or oblong-
shaped towers, built over the spray
tank, are most frequently used, but in
orchards where the trees are close to-
gether, a tower erected on the order of
a carpenters horse will serve the pur-
pose better. With the latter form, a
platform is built at a height to permit
the operator to Straddle the padded
horse. The towers are usually con-
structed of wood, steel or iron.
Manufacturers of spraying ma
chinery and accessories have placed on
the market a large number Of noZZleS
to which they have given various trade
anne Although these nozzles differ
somewhat in size and style, the prin-
ciple of construction is not distinctive
for each. The nozZles used by fruit
growers may be roughly divided into
two general types: 1) The Bordeaux,
and (2) the eddy chamber or whirlpool
type. This latter type is susceptible Of
further subdivision.
The Bordeaux nozzle may be adjust
ed to give u relatively fine fan-shaped
spray, or a coarse-driving, or even a
solid-stream spray, with all gradua-
lions between. Bordeaux nozzles do
not easily clog and may be readily
freed from coarse spray particles or
other sediment by turning the barrel
by means of the small handle on the
side of the nozzle. These nozzles de-
liver a large amount Of spray material,
and in order to insure a satisfactory
spray the pump must have ample ca
pacity> and a high pressure must be
maintained. The Bordeaux type of noz-
Ele has been frequently recommended
for the calyx application for the cod

GIVE cows BALANCED RATION
Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Are
Used by Animals in Quite Differ.
ent Proportions.

In feeding dairy cows the best re-
suits are always secured and the most
economic use of feeds is obtained by
providing a balanced ration. Careful
studies have shown that the three
classes of nutrients in feeds, prOteinS,
carbohydrates, and fats, are used by
different animals in quite different pro-
portions. A ration that supplies these
nutrients in the proportion that the
animal requires, is called a balanced
ration. When enough of each of these
classes Is fed there is no waste, caused
by feeding an unnecessary amount Of
one class of nutrients. Protein is used
by the animal chiefly to form the mus
Giles or lean flesh of the body, the hair,
the horns, the hoofs and the casein in
the milk. The carbohydrates and the
fat are q source of energy in the body,
as well as that of the body fat and the
fat in the milk.
The compromising of q balanced ra-
ton is not difficult If one has at hand
tables which show the digestible nutri-
ents of the various feeds. Many farm
ers, however, obtain good results by
more simple methods, and have found
the following rules useful:
l. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean.
2. If the roughage contains eight to
ten pounds of leguminous hay, such as
clover, cowpea or alfalfa, mix the
grain ration so that it will contain
from IA to l6 per cent of protein. If
the rOughage does not contain q large
proportion OF leguminous hay, but is
composed largely of corn silage, corn
stalks, and timothy hay, mix the grain
ration to contain 20 to "a per cent of
protein.
3. To cows such as Jerseys or Guern-
seys, giving milk testing 4 per cent in
butterfat or higher, feed the grain mix
ture at the rate of one pound to every
three pounds of milk produced. To
cows giving milk which tests 3B per
cen in butterfat or less, feed one
pound of the grain mixture to every
three and one-half to four pounds Of
milk produced.
4. If the COW is in poor flesh and Is
giving a good flow Of milk, she will u.s.
ually respond to heavier feeding and
the grain ration should be increased.

"You can't keep a good man down."

as it is of men. In proof of which is
the news that the famous purebred
Holstein, lilly Alcartra, is again at her
old tricks of rolling up records. She
recently dropped her sixth calf, a heif-

successful lactation period ahead of
her that Ler owners decided to put
her IN test.
She came through with a new mark
for seven days with 1856 pounds of
butter out of 1901 pounds of milk,
which shows the pace she is making in
the yearly test she is on.
