CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Much can be done now to reduce
the possibility of insect plaques next
summer if a little effort Is directed to-
ward the destruction of insect shelter
areas. Around the grounds and gar
dens, under hedges, beside bitches,
and In fence corners are punches of
notwithstanding weeds or grass. By
the time cold weather approaches
many kinds of insects In the adult or
immature stages have taken full adj
vantage of these hooks and hidden
away there for the winter. The bu-
reau of entomology, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, says that If
these spots are cleaned up and the
refuse cut and burned, many of these
alternating insects will be destroyed
and the damage from such pests dur
ing the coming season will be mate
rally lessened.

TUBERCULOSIS IN CHICKENS
Disease Is Quite Common and Is
Caused by Quarters Being Poorly
Ventilated and Lighted.

tuberculosis In poultry results in
loss of weight. The birds may look
all right for a time, but they will be
found to be light. Mr.. Barton, of the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
states that in the later stages the birds
become weak, often they cannot fly
onto the roosts, but sit In a corner,
and after a little, die. According to
Mr.. Barton, this disease Is quite com.
mon, affecting turkeys as well as
chickens. One way to tell if the birds
have tuberculosis Is to cut them open.
If the bird is light in weight and the
liver Is enlarged and spotted 1t may
be quite safe to say that 1t has been
suffering from tuberculosis.
He states that small quarters, poor
~ ventilated, poorly lighted, and damp
are conducive to the spread of the dis
ease. The best remedy Is to dispose
Of all infected birds and If the flock is
badly infected to dispose of all the
birds; then thoroughly clean the
house and yards, disinfect and start
over again with tuberculosis-fre
birds. Mr.. Barton recommends dis
infectant made up in the ratio of one
ounce of creolin and one ounce of car.
bolic acid to one gallon of water.

pounds of milk; and other costs $40
pounds of milky only 900 pounds of
milk remained for the profit and skill
of the owner. For the high-produc-
ing group, however, 3,074 pounds of
milk remained after the following de-
auctions had been made: For feed,
1902 pounds of milk; labor, So6
pounds of milk, and other costs 962
pounds of milk.
Here, then, were cows in the same
locality, in some cases standing side by
side, and all requiring about the same
labor; yet some were producing three
times as much profit as others, even
though they were charged with great
err quantities of feed and a large
amount of "other costs"
The figures adduced are significant
also in that they show that in milk
checks size is not always true meas
ure of real value; but that the per
cent of profit, as determined by the
cows that are kept, plays an impor-
tant part.
The figures upon which this compar-
ison is based were actual records of
production; feed, labor and other
costs were obtained by monthly full
day visits on each of the farms for
period of two years. Careful rec
ords were made on these visits of the
daily milk production of each COW,
feed consumed, labor required, over
head costs, etc. Using these data,
the requirements for producing 100
pounds of milk were worked out. SO
far as possible the requirements were
determined in terms of pounds of feed.
hours of labor etc, so that constantly
fuctuating prices would have no eff
feet on the value of the figures. Re-
suits may be interpreted at any time
by using prevailing prices.
The requirements for producing 100
pounds of milk, based on S47 cows,
with an average annual production OF
1852 pounds of 80 per cent milk, were

PLAN TO ESTABLISH
STANDARDS FOR HAY
Work Includes Analyses of Diff
ferent Samples.
Endeavoring to Determine Importance
of Factors Now Used in Fixing
Grade of Commodity and Feed
ina Value of Product.

Sample bales of hay are being col
lected by the bureau of markets, Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
from producers, shippers, and consum-
ers for the purpose of establishing
standards for hay. The work is pro-
vided for by an act of congress, and
includes analyses of the hay samples
in order to determine the Importance
of the factors now used in determin-
ing the grade of the commodity, In
Guiding the color, mixture, and text
ure. Moisture determinations and
other analyses to ascertain the rela-
tive feeding value of various hay mix
lures will also be made.
The work is in charge of special
list from the hay, feed and seed d.
vision of the bureau, and the labora-
tory has been established at POI South
Strand street, Alexandria, Va.
The equipment used includes sepa-
rating tables especially constructed
for this work, display tables for use
in color determinations, and racks and
boxes for holding the various type
samples as well as a hay cutter and
a grinder operated by 15-horsepow-
er motor. These two machines cut
and grind the hay to a degree of fine
ness suitable for making the mois-
ture tests and chemical analysis. An
electric drying oven. also constructed
especially for the work, is used in
the moisture tests and in reducing
the hay to a uniform moisture con
tent for the other analyses.
The standardization work is now
we'll begun and it is expected that
tentative grades for timothy and per-
haps clover will be promulgated be-
fore the close of the fiscal year.

Different KINDS OF GEESE
Toulouse Is Most Popular on Account
of Large Sfze-Emden and Chi
nese Are Liked.

The Toulouse Is the giant of the
geese family. 1t is native of France.
Its ordinary weight is from Is to 20
pounds, but it Is not uncommon to
find specimens weighing from 25 to 30
pounds. This is the typical gray goose,
but beneath and behind these body
feathers are white areas in the plu-
mage.
1t is said by those who have had
experience with this breed that young
geese during the first year lay from
Is to 25 eggs, when older they may
lay from 20 to 40.
The Emden is a popular breed In
some places. The bodies Of the birds
are snowy white, the legs and bills
yellow. They have good type and
conformation. In size it is the same
as standard for the Toulouse, though
1t is said smaller number of EN-
den reach this standard than the Tou-
louise.
The Emden, when well bred, prop
erly fed and prepared, makes a car
cass that sells well on the market.
But it is said that many breeders in
this country have not given much at
tention to fine quality.
There are two varieties of Chinese
geese. Brown and White. This breed
has different characteristics from the
others mentioned. The birds stand
more erect and have longer and slen-
derer necks than the others. The
Brown Chinese have at the base Of
the bill peculiar dark-colored knob.
The Brown is considered the most
prolific of all the geese. The stand
ard weight for the gander is Is pounds,
goose IL pounds. The female Is said
to lay from 40 to 30 eggs, sometimes
more. A large per cent of the eggs
are generally fertile.
The African is not at all common
IN this country. The color of this
breed is dark gray on the back and
light beneath. There is dark stripe
on the neck that extends we'll down
the back. The bill is black and has
a knob something like that of the
Brown Chinese.
The color of the eggs is orange.
The geese of this breed lay better
than Emden. but not SO well as the

MILK PRODUCTION PROBLEMS
Department Of Agriculture Has Been
Carrying on Interesting and In
structive Studies.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
For $50 cows that average less than
5000 pounds of milk annually, the
part of the milk check that represent
ed profit and reimbursement for the
owners managerial ability was % per

than 5000 pounds annually, the per
cent remaining for profit and the own
er's skill was Al per cent.
For the last five years the dairy di-
vision, United States Department of
Agriculture, has been making studies
which bear on this problem in many
dairy sections of the country; and
two-year investigations on the re-
Quirements for producing milk have
now been completed on groups of
dairy farms In six of these commune
ties. One of the latest of these stud
les, carried ON in Vermont, is the one
on which the above figures are based.
What it has disclosed in regard to
economy of production and the re-
quirements for producing milk, may be
of value to the dairyman who is inter-
ested in finding out where milk re-
turns are going.
These figures, which were obtained
from a study of the production rec
ords of 5S7 cows which remained in
the herds a full year, show that the
average annual production of the $50
lower-producing cows was 4,146
pounds; also that the average produc-
ton of 257 higher producers was 7,144
pounds a year. After subtracting
from ALAG pounds the amounts of milk

PROPER SHELTER FOR GEESE
Some Protection Should Be Provided
During Winter and Stormy
Weather-Have 1t Dry.

Except in winter or during stormy
weather, when some protection should
be provided, mature geese do not usu-
ally need a house. Some kind of shell
ter, such as a shed open on the south
side, a poultry house, or a barn, is
usually provided. The goose house
should be kept clean and plenty Of
clean straw provided for the floor.

WATER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Cow Should Have $50 Pounds Day
in Summer and About 100 Pounds
in Winter Season.

A COW will drink $50 pounds of water
a day at a temperature of 60 degrees,
but if the water is ice cold she will
not drink all she needs. She will.
however, be chilled through and will
eat more to get warm. She ought to
have in summer time at least $50
pounds OF water a day and in winter
time about 100 pounds
