COWS FOR MACHINE MILKING
Farmers Should Study Herd From
Standpoint of Fitness-Avold
Defective Udders.

(By PROF. C. LARSEN, South Dakota
State College.)
Dairy farmers who wish to use milk
ing machines should study their herd
from the standpoint of fitness for a
milking machine. The reason why
some men are successful with milking
machines and others are not can De
traced in part to the difference in COWS.
When the milking machine rs ln-
stalled the owner will have better sue
cess if he will Gull out the COWS that
do not readily and completely give
down their milk, COWS with uneven ud=
der and placement Of teats and COWS
with very fleshy teats. Some nerds
NAV not contain any defective COWS,
some may contain one or two and some
herds may contain several.
Cows with such defective udders ana
teats should never be used as founda-
ton COWS. The heifsr calves from tho
COWS that milk easily by machine
should be selected. 1t is especially i'm
portant to select herd bull that comes
from ancestors that have well-formed
manmary organs, and better still to
select q proved herd bull that is known
to produce daughters Of large, symmet-
rical and well-placed teats OF gooo
quality.

similar organizations could do excel
lent work in rat campaigns.
State and National Aid.
To secure permanent results any
general campaign for the elimination
of rats must aim at building the ami
mails out of shelter and food. Build
ing reforms depend on municipal ordi-
nances and legislative enactments.
The recent plague eradication work
of the United States Public Health
Service in San Francisco, Seattle,
New Orleans, and at various places In
Hawaii and Porto Rico required such
ordinances and laws as we'll as inan-
cial aid in prosecuting the work. The
campaign Of Danish and Swedish or
CARNATIONS for the destruction Of rats
had the help Of governmental appro-
priations. The legislatures OF Cali
fornia. Texas, Indiana and Hawaii,
have in recent years passed laws or
made appropriations to aid in rat rid
dance. 1t is probable that weil-or-
ganized efforts Of communities would
soon win legislative support every
where. Communities should not post.
Done efforts, however, while waiting
for legislative cooperation, but should
at once organize and begin repressive
operations. Wherever health is threat
ened the public health service OF the
United States can cooperate. and
where crops and other products are
endangered the bureau Of biological
survey of the depart nent of agricul-
ture Is ready to assist by advice and
in demonstration of methods.

"Made in America" Labels
Should Replace Germany's
and Japan'S Trade Marks

For years and years it was "Made
in Germany" Everything upon which
such tag could be placed with any
show of reason was said to have bcel
made in Germany" Toys and tools,
knives and fish hooks, guns and jew
elry-everything upon which a high
profit was desired by the dealer was
labeled in that way.
Today Germany is not in high favor,
and there is scarcely an article In any
store with q German label. In fact the
label factories have discontinued the
printing Of "Made in Germany" labels
for American manufacturers to paste
upon American products.
It would seem, then, asserts the
Houston Post, that this is good time
for Americans to learn that the best
goods OF every kind which are manu-
featured under heaven are made in
America"
d the manufacturers do not seem
to think so. Instead of the MADE in
Germany" labels, we have with us to-
day Made in japan" labels. Thus the
label printer has had to change his
labci with no resulting benefit to the
American people. The goods sold IN
der this misleading label are made in
American factories by American work
men paid American scales. They al
ways have been made in America. It
is likely they always will be made IN
America. And the fact that they are
made in America assures the purchaser
that they are the best goods OF the
kind selling for a like price in the
world.
It is time for the "NIade in America"
Label to be used on all American made
goods; and it would not be a bad law
which would compel American manu-
factnrcrs to place an American label
on their every product.

CONSUMPTION OF PERISHAsLE
FOODS,

The Food Administration urges the
greatest possible use Of fresh perish
able food products. Consumers must
not forget that the use Of these foods
liberates for use moro concentrated
foods.
Home gardens will cause surpluses
in many sections and the desirab1lity
and healthfulness Of vegetables and
fruits as food should stimulate con-
sumption and insure these perishaole
products from spoilage. 1t Is held TO
be absolutely unwarranted 20 use
canned goods when fresh products
are available. Enormous stocks OF
canned goods must be stored UP for
our soldiers and Allies, and every one
using perishables will help to conserve
these goods.

Same Principles Of Drainage Apply to
Clay Roads-Keep Pipe Line and
bitches Open.

The same principles Of drainage as
apply to the earth roads should apply
to the sand-clay roads. The sand-cay
roads are usually located by an engi-
neer before they are built, and in this
event they are constructed on grade
and with proper provisions for drain
age, it remains for the maintenance
force to see that the pipe lines and
bitches are kept open. The surface Of
the sand-clay road requires continual
attention and it should be dragged af-
ter every rain or wet spell; it should
not be allowed to deteriorate and blow
away.
AS this class of roads is more expen-
sive than the earth roads are, so is
their maintenance more expensive, but,
on the other hand, the service that
they give is much mere satisfactory
than that of the earth roads. The
communities through which they run
are usually more enlightened and pro-
gressive than those on the earth roads,
and therefore are more able and will

unite in efforts to get rid Of rats,
much more lasting results may be at
tanned. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts.
Cooperative efforts to destroy rats
have taken various forms in different
localities. in cities, municipal en-
ployees have occasionally been set at
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least temporary benefit to
the community. Thus, in 1904, at
Folkestone, England, town of about
$4,000 inhabitants, tt corporation
employees, helped by dogs, in three
days killed 1,645 rats.
Side hunts in which rats are the
only animals that count in the con-
test have sometimes been organized
and successfully carried out. At New
burlington, o., rat hunt took place
some years ago in which each OF tie
two sides killed over 5000 rats, the
beaten party serving banquet to
the winners.
There is danger that organized rat
hunts will be followed by long III
tervals Of Indifference and inaction.
This may be prevented by offering
prizes covering a definite period or
effort. Such prizes accomplish more
than municipal bounties, because theN
secure friendly rivalry which slim
ulates the contestants to do their Ut
most to win.

Manure increases crop yields. The
less the rainfall the moro important
the application Of manure becomes.
The higher priced the crops are the
greater the returns of the manure.
The manure adds plant food and organ

be called upon to inspect and test each
cow every year.
With the assurance Of a healthy COW
she should be housed in a clean, we
lighted shed and provided with clean
ward in which to exercise. The milk
should be drawn into clean, small
topped milk pail and kept cool until
consumed.
Milk sours and spoils because OF the
bacteria which enter it with dirt from
the cow and from pals not thoroughly
washed. Keeping these bacteria out
of the milk and preventing their
growth by keeping the milk cool, are
easy and efficient means of procuring
the best of milk from the family cow
provided she is free from disease.

AS 20 our exports OF meat, the re-
suits of conservation are even more
remarkable. The analysis Of figures
In regard to hogs indicates that we
were 100000 to 100000 hogs short
when the conservation campaign was
started. Before the war, the average
monthly export Of hog products was
about 100000 pounds. In March,
1918, we exported 300,000,00O pounds
and can see our way clear, with the
present saving and production, to go
forward at this rate for an indefinite
period. Before 1914, we were export
ing from 100000 to 100000 pounds
of beef per month. After the Eu-
ropean war began, there was an in
crease to about 100000 pounds per
month. Now, we are exporting at the
rate Of 130,o00,000 pounds of beef per
month and, with the continuation OF
conservation Of production, there Is
no reason to anticipate a materia!
reduction in these figures.

upon the development of great Of

United States. This offensive must
