DISlNFECT SEED BED
TO PREVENT DISEASE
Before Planting Be Sure to De-
stroy All Fungi.
Sterilization by Heat In Form Of
Steam Is Most Effective-FormaIin
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,
cold 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,
the formalln treatment may be more
practical for the majority.
The formalin solution Is made up
by using 4. quarts OF formalin (4O per
cent formaldehyde to 90 gallons Il
barreD of. water. Apply at the rate
OF quarts per square foot Of ground.
One barrel, at this rate, will cover q
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 disinfectng, or until
the ground is in a suitable Ncondition.
This will allow all formalin fumes to
escape so that the seed and young
growing plants will not be Injured.

DAIRY COWS FED

Greatest Quantity at Lowest
Cost for Production Makes
Dairying Profitable.
.HOLSTEIN COW MADE RECORD

Prepafed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculturel
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
gases more grain is fed to dairy cows
that can be justified by the results in
milk and butterfat.
IL your neighbor told you that his
ctw, that had not eaten pound of
grain for a whole year, produced 1900
pounds more milk and 80 pounds more
bEtterfat than she ever did when fed

well, what would you believe IL 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-
tpre tells about its Hosteln COW.
Helen Uilkje Calamity 145S57.
Up to the time Helen was eight
years old. she had always been fed
grain, silage, ard roughage ration,
and the best she had ever done was
1.77S.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
her no grain for year. She lived
for full II months on pasture. ST.
lage, and roughage. And that year
she produced 14,210.1 pounds Of milk
and 470.24 pounds OF butterfat. The
experiment was carried out at Hunt
ley, Mont.
A Revolutionary Cow.
Helen may properly be referred to
as a revolutionary COW. Some other
cows. in cow-testing associations and
elsewhere, have shown similar tend
encies And the result Is that the
dairy specialists are urging dairymen
to see II 1t 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 cows
on the stuff that the farm produces
instead of buying a great deal Of grain
and other concentrates. The dairy
man should plan his feeding and crop
growing to take care of the herd he
has. instead of buying as the need
arises for more feed. He should de-
vote special attention to having the
right kind of pasture and the right
kind of rOughage. II he cannot grow

| Ii is good policy to tap early in the
season TO obtain the earlier runs,
which are generally the sweetest, and
therefore the best producers. Makers
have lost half and even more of their
crops by not being prepared for the
ilfst run. In general, It may be said
that the season is ready to open during
the first or middle of February In the
southern section. and later In the
northern regions when days are be-
coming warm (when the temperature
goes above freezing during the day and
at night below freezlng). If the days
are very bright, warm and sunny, the
sap will start with a rush, but soon
slacken, or If wind starts the flow Is
! checked. Protracted warm weather
or heavy freeze with nights and days
of even temperature stops the flow al
together. to start again when weather
conditions are right.
Methods Of Tapping.
Considerable difference of opinion
exists as to the best method of tap

Commercial Possibilities.
While the possibilities of immediate
returns from maple trees now standing
are Of chief interest at this time. the
United States department Of agrlcul-
ture experts call attention to the large
commercial possibilities In maple sirup
production which could be developed
In comparatively few years by ex-
tensive planting. There are large num-
bers Of tracts now unfruitful and cum
sidered almost worthless, but well
suited to growing maple trees. These
tracts are to be found throughout the
regions referred to above. and could
be planted to sugar maple at small
cost.

that VIII supply the protein needed.
Caring for Pasture Pays
In the old days. when COW could
he fed on grain and roughage at So
or SO O month, there was no great In
ducement to take care of pastures.
But today II costs from SIS to $50
month to feed cow on grain and
roughage. Attention devoted to pas
ture, therefore, pays bigger dividends
than formerly. Dairymen used to fig
ure that they must get $15 a year
from every acre of land In pasture,
and this meant that the acre had to
pasture COW for three months. Now,
II the same acre pastures COW only
one month, 1t produces Its SIS. II II
pastures COW for three months It
Is producing $45 a year. And the
price of pasture land has not increas-
ed In that proportion. Therefore, ev-
cry day that the COW is kept on pas
ture means saving of money to the
daIryman. 1t pays, nowadays. to take
care OF the pastures. And II pays
equally well to take care of the rough
age. Pasture, forage. spage-these
things are the essentials in dairy pro-
duction.
