81 spraying COWS, but the greater
comfort in milking may be sufficient
to pay for the trouble. It is generally
more convenient and more satisfae-
tory to purchase some Of the pre-
pared fly repellents than TO get a
formula filled. C. H. Eckles of the
University Of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture mentions that two formulas
that have been used with some sue
cess are:
/. Fish oil | gallon, oil Of pine tar
2 ounces, oil Of p~ennyroyal 2 ounces,
kerosene u pint.
2. Fish oil l quart, petroleum /
quart, carbolic acid l ounce. These
mixtures, like the ready mixed ones,
are applied most advanrageously with
a hand spray pump. The spray is gen.
orally applied once a day, just before
milking in the evening. If flies cause
sores on the udder, the repellent may
be applied to them.
SIL0 is A DR0UTH PROTECTION
Too much dependence has been put
upon grass alone for summer feeding,
while too little attention has been
given to a reserve supply of feed for
periods Of short pasture. Almost ev-
cry year there is a period some time
during the summer when the pastures
are short. Young cattle are checked
in growth and dairy cattle decline in
milk flow from lack of feed.
On farms where much stock is kept
it is practical to have two silos, n
for winter feeding and a smaller one
for summer. II the season is such
that the silage is not needed IL can be
kept oevr until the next year. Or, IL
the silage is not needed, il TAR be
kept over until the next year. Or, If
the silage is partially used, the silo
can be refilled in the fall. The reason
that the summer siio should be small
is that during the warm weather a
deeper layer Of silage has TO be taken
of than in the winter to prevent spoil
ing.
c. II. Eckles of the University Of
Missouri College Of Agriculture sug-
gests that for a herd of 20 to 80 ami
mails a silo IA feet in diameter is
large enough for winter use, while one
10 feet is ample for summer. The
summer silo makes it possible during
times of temporary feed shortage to
keep a large amount of stock, and to
maintain it in better condition.

BOY YANDALS STILL

Bare-footed boys are thought to be
responsible for the havoc played in
three Of Mexioo's churches this week.
Thursday and Friday nights, intrud-
ers have visited the Methodist Church,
throwing books and papers all over
the auditorium, tampering with the
electric light switchboards. and dis
connecting the pipe organ. The church

Baptist Choir Loft Looted.
Several delicate crackers, the most
intricate parts Of the organs meehan-
ism, were destroyed Wednesday ~
ening when vandals entered the Bap-
fist Church and carried out a pro-
gram Of similar character. Several Vi
olins which had been placed in the
loft by members Of the church orchcs-
ira for safe keeping were damaged
and thrown on the floor. The music
cabinet was opened and the music
scattered around the pulpit.
1t was necessary TO obtain parts for
the organ and 10 employ an expert
eneed organ man TO repair the
damage done the trackers. No clue
could be found as TO the identity Of
the marauders, but it was supposed
that children were responsible for the
action. Some have connected the re-
peated ransaeking Of holy places with
more grave Specifications.
