DISlNFECT SEED BED
TO PREVENT DISEASE
Before Planting Be Sure to De-
Stroy All Fungi.
Sterilization by Heat In Form Of
Steam Is Most Ehective-Formalin
Treatment May Be More Practi-
cal for Majority.

(By OTIS REINKING, Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Be sure TO disinfect your seed beds.
OLD frames or hot house beds before
planting. The purpose is to kill all
fungi which cause damping off, stem
rot, black rot, and other diseases.
sterilization by heat in the form Of
steam is the most effective; however,
h formalin treatment may be more
practical for the majority.
The formalin solution is made up
by using 4 quarts of formalin GO per
cent f~ormaldehyde to so gallons q
barely of water. Apply at the rate
of 2 quarts per square foot of ground.
One barrel. at this rate, will cover a
piece of ground one rod long by six
feet wide. Apply the solution grad
ually TO the soil with a sprinkling pot.
1t is well TO cover the bed for a hours
with sacks ~disinfected in the formalin
solution.
Do not plant until the third or
fourth day after disinfecting, or until
the ground is in a suitable condition.
This will allow all formalin fumes TO
escape so that the seed and young
growing plants will not be injured.

DAIRY COWS FED
TOO MUCH Grain

Dairying Profitable.
HOLSTEIN COW MADE RECORD

prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Profitable dairying does not consist
in producing the greatest possible
quantity of milk.
1t does consist, however, in produc-
ing the greatest possible quantity of
milk at the lowest possible cost.
To produce more milk, many dairy
men feed too much grain, and pile up
~stupendOus feed bills. But the grain
does not always increase the flow of
milk above what it would have been
without grain, enough TO pay the diff
ference in the feed bill. Dairy special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture believe that in many
that can be justified by the results in
milk and %butterfat.
If your neighbOr told you that his
COW, that had not eaten a pound of
grain for a whole year. produced 5000
pounds more milk and 90 pounds more
butterfat than she ever did when fed
h regular grain n r~oughage ration
well, what would you believe If your
neighbOr told you that? And yet,
that has actually happened. AT least.
that is substantially the story that the
United States department Of agricul-
ture tells about its Holstein cow,
Helen Uilkje Calamity 145S57.
Up to the time Helen was eight
years old, she had always been fed
q grain, silage, and ~roughage ration,
and the best she had ever done was
11,77S.2 pounds of milk and 36S.39
pounds Of butterfat. When she was
eight years old, that being in the
spring Of 1918, 1t was decided TO feed
for a full u months on pasture, ST.
lage, and rOughage. And that year
she produced 14.210.1 pounds Of milk
and 470.24 pounds of b~utterfat. The
experiment was carried out at Hunt
ley, Mont.
A Revolutionary Cow.
Helen may properly be referred TO
as q revolutionary COW. Some other
COWS, I'm cow-testing associations and
elsewhere, have shown similar tend
encies. And the result is that the
dairy specialists are urging dairymen
TO see If It is not possible TO produce
milk and butter without feeding so
much grain as is commonly fed.
The basis Of successful dairy feed
ing is now said TO be to feed the ows
on the stuff that the farm produces
instead OF buying n great deal Of grain
and other concentrates. The dairy
man should plan his feeding and crop
growing 60 take care OF the herd he
has, instead of buying rs the need
arises for more feed. He should de-
vote special attention 10 having the

A WONDERFUL REMEDY FOR
KIDNEYS, BLADDER, URIC ACID

Through failure of kidneys to act,
through congestion, inflammation, any per-
sons condition Is ripe for disease to fasten
it's hold upon the system.
At DR.. PieTce's Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y, there has
been tested for the past few years a new
remedy for kidney, bladder, uric acid
troubles, rheumatism, govt and such all
ments as follow, and so many cases, both
acute and stubborn, have yielded to this
wonderful remedy hat DR.. Pierce decided
to name it Anuric (anti-uric-acid), and
arrange for its distribution to the public
through medicine dealers everywhere. You
will find it many times more active than
lithia, dissolving uric acid as water does
sugar.
Obtain a bottle of these tablets today
from your druggist here in town. Simply
ask for Anuric Tablets and notice the
gratifying results.
