DAIRY
FACTS
APPLE-PEcTIN AS cow FEED
Pulp Should Prove Valuable Adjunct
to Fare Of Animal When Com
pared With Silage.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
That dried apple-pectin pulp should
prove a valuable adjunct to the fare
Of the dairy COW is the conclusion
drawn from analyses and feeding trials
conducted by the bureau of chemistry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in collaboration with the Bureau
Of Animal Industry. This feed made
a favorable showing when compared
with dried beet pulp and corn silage.
Apple-pectin pulp is the by-product
remaining after pectin has been ex-
tracted from apple pomace, or, as it
is sometimes called, cider-press cake.
After the pectin has been extracted
about three-fourths Of the total weight
of the pulp is water, rendering it sub
ject to rapid spoilage. Heretofore it
has been thrown away, but it has been
found that when the pulp is dried
it can be kept for considerable time
and, because Of its reduced weight,
handled and shipped economically.
Some manufacturers have recently in
stalled evaporatOrS for drying the
pulp in order to market the product
for stock feed.
The feeding experiment included a
preliminary test with one cow for a
period of 20 days, and later one
with 6 cows The dried pectin pulp
was always mixed with three times its
weight of water several hours before
feeding In the first test the COW was
fed corn silage for 20 days, then, after
a transition period of days, she was
given pectin pulp for 20 days, and,
after another transition period of 5
days, she was fed corn silage for an
other 20 days. In all these periods
grain was fed in connection with the
roughage.
The average production during the
corn-silage feeding-periods was 312
pounds of milk and 14.65 pounds Of
butterfat. During the period when

of Agriculture.)
Weeds and insects are garden enc
! mics, and the time to kill both Is be-
fore they appear!
Careful stirring Of the soil destroys
the little weed seedlings just after the
seeds have sprouted. Likewise, culti-
walton keeps the garden in such shape
that insects do not find hiding place,
and are not so liable to injure the gar
den crops. However, insects are al
most sure to attack certain of the gar
den crops and it will be necessary to
take precautions against them. Cut
worms, potato bugs, flea beetles, and
plant lice are the most troublesome
garden insects Do not give them a
chance to get started.
The common cutworm does its work
during the night, cutting off the plants
just below the surface of the soil
within day or two after they are set
in the garden. One Of the best ways to
prevent this injury is to surround the
stem plant with tube made Of stiff
paper or light cardboard, extending
an inchN or so below the ground and
two or three inches above. These col
lars, or cutworm protectors, can be re-
moved after the danger of injury Is
past generally not until about 80 days
after the plants are set in the ground.
When Potato Bugs Appear.
The old-fashioned Colorado potato
beetles, or "hard Shells" come out of
the ground usually when the potatoes
are about four or five inches high.
These beetles themselves do not do
great amount Of harm except that they
lay clusters Of yellow eggs on the un-

Son the average there are In the
United States only about two birds
to the acre, but where they are pro-
tected and encouraged it has been
demonstrated that very great in
crease over the normal bird population
can be secured. No fewer than SO
pairs to the acre Is the number
reached In the most successful Of
these attempts reported. Yaluing the
services of birds at 10 cents each-an
estimate ridiculously low, but used to
insure a safe minimum-the birds Of
the United States prevent an increase
In the annual damage done by insects
Of more than $4OO,OOO,OOO.
"a particular farm may not have
so large bird population as it should,
and therefore may not be deriving the
benefit which is It's due. The most
effective means Of increasing the num-
Der Of birds is protection, and protec-
ton in its best sense is afforded by
the establishment Of bird refugees"
A bird refuge may be established in
small way on farm or through
cooperative bird preserve. In the lat
ter case, the plan has proved popu-
lar and successful as means of es-
tablishing colonies Of game birds, such
as pheasants.
'In creating useful bird refuge"
says the bulletin, "the first step is to
insure adequate protection against all
bird enemies; the second, to see that
plenty Of nesting sites suited to the
needs of the various birds are avail
able; and the third, to improve food
and water supplies, If necessary"
Bird refugees also may be established
along rOadways and right-of-ways,
with particularly attractive and bene-
fetal results.
Hardly an agricultural pest escapes
the attacks of BIRDS" says the bulletin.

POTATOES.
der side of the potato leaves. In, a
few days these eggs hatch into soft
shell beetles or slugs as they are some
times called. In the soft shell, or slug
form the potato beetle has an enor-
nous appetite and colony of them
will soon strip the foliage from hill
of potatoes.
Hand picking is perhaps the best
method of getting rid of the hard
shell beetles. They may be killed by
either crushing them or dropping them
into boiling water. The slugs or soft
shell beetles cannot be gathered to so
good advantage, but they may be pois-
oned by sprinkling the plants, while
the dew is upon them, with mixture
consisting of heaping teaspoonful of
paris green to pint of air-slaked lime
or land plaster. The easiest method
Of applying the mixture is to place it
in a cheese cloth or thin burlap bag
and dust the plants by shaking the bag
directly over them. 1t is not necessary
to apply the poison to all the plants,
but only where the bugs have made
their appearance. The plants should
be inspected every day or two to see
that the bugs are not getting start.
Flea Beetles Eat Holes.
Flea beetles are small insects that
eat round holes similar to shot holes
in the leaves of beans, tomatoes, and
number of other garden crops. They
can be poisoned with the mixture of
paris green and lime referred to for
potato beetles, or they can driven
away by busting the plants with fine
road dust, air-slacked lime, or with
very dry, powdery, sifted coal ashes.
Plant lice are more difficult to con-
troll, as they do not eat the leaves,
but stick their beaks into the leaves
and suck the juices. They are rather
difficult to control, as they are found
mainly on the under side of the leaves.
One remedy is to spray with some
form of tobacco extract or nicotine
sulphate, using about one teaspoonful
In a gallon of water in which there
has previously been dissolved one
inch cube of laundry soap. The mix
ture should be thoroughly stirred and
applied underneath the leaves espe-
clally, using some form of sprayer or
atomizer that will create fine mist.
If the gardener finds some insect
with which he is not acquainted he
should write to the extension division
Of his state college Of agriculture.

pectin pulp was fed the cow made
1863 pounds of milk and 1888 pounds
Of fat. Although this test showed
that the pulp produced lat per cent
more milk and II per cent more but
terfat than the corn silage, the re-
suits can not be considered conclusive.
In the second and more extended ex-
pertinent the pectin pulp was COM
pared with dried beet pulp, feed that
it resembles more closely than corn
silage. The 6 cows were fed for 80
days on beet pulp soaked with three
times it's weight of water, then, after
a transition period of 10 days, they
were fed for 80 days on pectin pulp
soaked with similar quantity Of
water. The soaking was from one
feeding time to the next, but in warm
weather the pulp should not be
allowed to soak for more than one or
two hours. The pectin pulp contained
approximately per cent crude fat
(not all of which Is true fat), per
cent crude protein, and 20 per cent
crude fiber, as compared with 0.5 per
cent crude fat, s per cent crude pro-
TEN, and 20 per cent crude fiber in
beet pulp. The two feeds are similar
in being able to absorb water readily.
The cows while on the ration con-
tanning the beet pulp produced 4976.5
pounds of milk and 171.S6 pounds of
butterfat; while on the pectin-pulp ra-
ton they produced 1857 pounds of
milk and 1928 pounds of fat. Forty
pounds of the wet pulp were offered to
each cow daily. The palatability Of
the pectin pulp did not appear to be
so. high as that of the beet pulp, since
the cows did not eat 1t so readily. 1t
seems that pound for pound of dry
matter the pectin pulp is superior to
corn silage and perhaps intermediate
between the silage and beet pulp.
The loss of appetite for the pectin
pulp by some of the cows may be at
tributed to the fact that it was the
less familiar feed and that the second
test was conducted during the summer
when cows are more apt to tire OF
such feeds.

About Rabbits.

California produces the finest fur
bearing rabbits in the world. Texas
is a close second; Utah and Okla
homa are great producing states. The
rabbit thrives upon alfalfa hay and
barley. All of these may be had in
California 1865 days in the year. The
ermine rabbit, a close rival of the lit
tie white-furred weasel has been
gained by crossing the Russian white
rabbit, which has the color, with the
Himalaya rabbit, which has the soft
under fur, and again with the Angora
rabbit, which has the requisite length
of coat.
