to the doughboy's creed, and many
other things he said in a remarkably
virile description of our boys fighting.
The val loan organization Is indebted
to Chairman CTabtree, of Illinois, for
placing Chaplain Ewert on the speakers
roster. He will accomplish great good
in the campaign. In his description
of the doughboy Chaplain Ewert de-
clared he got his name for two rea-
sons, First, because his secretary is a
baker, and secondly, because he Is the
flower of the American army, and like
all good dough, he is always on hand
when needed. In his appeal to support
the Victory loan the chaplain said:
The man whose heart does not re-

did in France, and who forgets or quits
in this hour for gratitude, or fails to
do what he cam, Is an migrate ana u

believe that all the states in the Elghth

WHITE eRuBs.

When new land is sude for gardens, especially land that has been in sod or grown up to weeds, white grubs are almost certain to make their appear ance by linnig many plants, says G. H. Larnson, entomologist for Con- necticut Agricultural College at Storrs.
 An examination of the soil beneath the dead plant will usually show the presence of a dirty white, softlbodlea grub, an inch to an inch and a quar- ter in length, having a brown head and swollen. darkened abdomen. The ad- ut is the brown beetle commonly known as the May beetle or June
 buzz The beetles fly by night, feed
 on the leaves of trees and lay their
 eggs in the soil. About two years are required for the development of the grub which does it's greatest damage in the second year. The whole life cycle requires about three years but grubs of different stages can be found every years.
 As white grubs are the most des- tructive on turf ground. plant an old
 ground where possible, advises Prof Lamson and practice crop rotation Where grubs are abundant, blow thor oughly just before October, and if pos sible turn in poultry or hogs to eat
 them. Delay blowing until May l. 1 the following spring and disk harrow very thoroughly to kill as many grubs as possible. Use lantern traps to catch the beetles in May if they are
 abundant, and spray the trees upor 1 which they feed, with iead arsenate.

QUALITY OF COWS

There is still. on a great many farms, the tendency to regard all cows as alike, says LeRoy M. Chapman of the Dairy Department at Connecticut Agricultural College as Storrs. How ever, with the present prices of good, bad and indifferent cows very high, and with the price of feed and labor higher than in previous years, there is but one choice to make if the busi- ness is to be prof1table-only good COWS must be owned.
 The term good" cows includes only those cows whose production is such that they yield cash return above costs of all feed, labor, etc, and the only impartial way of selecting such individuals is by use or the milk scales and the Babcock Test, says MT. Chap man. Selection by dairy type is help full but is not a criterion.
 The dairyman of today must keep tab on the cows actual production by use of milk scales if he wishes to progress. otherwise he must bear the expense of feeding anc caring for an- imals commonly known as "boarders" These "boarders" might also be called "parasites'' since they feed continu-

GRAIN AND PASTURE.

The pasture season has commenced on farms where cows are put out early. This is the season of the year when cows are at their best. But we should not over-rate it,, there arc cer- tain limits which pasture cannot eX- ceed, according to John A. kuelling, of the Dairy Department at Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs.
 Pasture certainly furnishes the ideal basis for the feeding of cows. With very inferior producers, pasture may even supply the total feed of the cows; but none of us surely are aiming to keep these .inferor cows; we want only the high producers, and high producing cows cannot graze sufficient grass to maintain a good flow of milk. This is especially true in mid summer when the pastures dry up and furnish little feed. It is well-knewn fact that the cows give much less milk iii the summer than they ao in the spring; this is due partly to the hot weathef, but fully as much to the insufficient feed received in the pasture.
 Cows are creatures of habit. They are fed grain in winter, and should be in summer. Perhaps we can cut down the amount a little while the pasture Is at it's best. providing the COW is not milking heavy, but with the heavy mllkerS and with all the COWS after the pastures are past their prime, a considerable amount of grain should be fed, say about tWo- thirds of the normal amount of grain. along with hay and silage. The nature of the grain ration can remain quite the same, although many men feed a grain ration which has a smaller propor- tion of protein because the young pas ture grasses are quite high in protein It is we'll to remember that the COW merely changes her food into milk; if we cut the COW unduly on fod. the COW must of necessity cut us on milk.

GREAT DAMAGE BY
CORN ROOT ROT

One reason for poor yields in many
 Ohio cornf1elds is a disease known as
 the corn root rot. saws Prof. W. G.
 Stover. of the Ohio State University.
 In this disease some or all of the roots
 are routed off by mold or fungus Thel
 fungus also grows rp into the stalk
 and even into the shank and ear The
 results of these alta cks are seen In
 dmarfed plants which may die carly,
 in down or broken sfsa-s1s, and fn bar
 ren stalks and nubbns. Kuowledge
 of the disease is not yet comnlete. but
 studies at the Indiana Agricultural F,x- pertinent Station seem to show that seed corn may carry the disease Dis eased grains may fail to eerrninate or may rive weak plants which soon die In either case the result is an uneven stand of corn in the field It also an- hears that disea sed grains may be detected during the gernlinat ton test since they ofta1 rot or mold in the gern1inaator This fact emphasizes the importance of ear-t-s,tng all corn to be used for seed and the selection of ears which rive strong vigorous plants 1 If any of the grains rot or mold, in tlae gerimnator. fail to terminate or give only weak plants the ears from which they came should be reflected.

 LIQUID MANURE

The greatest part of the manure ap-
 piled to the land is produced in barn.
 stable and piggery between fall and
 spring. It is in the winters manure that the farmer mainly depends on for the corn and roos crops of the rotation. The liqa:d e&crement turine) must be saved. It is far richer i'll nitrogen and potash-two most valuable fertilizing constituents than the solid excrement Averag- ing results we find from 40 to 45 per cent. of the total nitrogen excreted by farm animals is in the liquid portion: in the case of the COW the propor- ; ton frequently exceeds 50 per cent. Thousands of dollars worth of plant food lie beneath old barns and stables due to leaky floors and gutters. The first step toward saving tho liauid
 manure is to see that the floor upon
 which the animals rest and the gutter behind are sound and Iauid tight. A concrete floor and gutter solves the problem in the mos, complete and satisfactory way. Litter cannot per- form it's function of hpsorbing the Ii. duid if the floor and gutters are faulty. straw is the bedding material almost universally used on fife rarfn It will absorb from two to three times it's
 weight of liquid. IL will pay to cut all the straw used as litter. for finely
 cut it will absorb about three times
