Hydrocyanic Acid as
Fumigant for Pests
Absorbed in Quantities Suf-
fcient to Be Harmful

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrieuiture.b
Because hydrocyanic acid. in me
gaseous form, is used extensively. in
the United States as n fumigant for
the destruction of insects and rodents,
ii often comes in contact with fruits,
vegetables and other foods. and thus
may be absorbed in sufficient quantity
TO be dangerous to man. In recent in
vestigations the bureau of chemistry
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture has determined the guam
tity of the fumigant which is absorbed
and retained by various foodstuffs, all
products examined being found I" ae-
sorb the acid to some extent,
Results Of the Investigations are
given in Department Bulletin ll49,
just issued. No conclusions, however,
as to the safety of fumigated foods for
consumption are drawn in this bul-
letin. Chemical observations alone are
included. Determinations of the guam
titles of hydrocyanic acid injurious TO
human health lie in the domain OF the
pharmacologist.
Those interested in the subject may
secure a copy of the bulletin from the
United States Department of Agricnl'
ture, Washington, as long as the sup
ply lasts.

Entirely Dry Fodder
Will Make Good Silage

Farmers who do not get their silage
made before frost may have good
silage if they will utilize the dry fod-
der for this purpose, according to the
live stock men at the New York State
College of Agriculture.
Fodder silage not only makes better
feed than dry fodder, but II Is also
more convenient TO feed. Even though
the corn fodder appears dry and wilt
ed, the stalk will be found to contain
considerable moisture. If there is not
enough moisture in the corn TO pack
the corn well in the silo, additional
water should be added. BY adding
this to the fanbox the fan thoroughly
distributes the additional water.
Even entirely dry fodder will make
good silage, providing the water Is
added in equal weight e the fodder.
In any case. the fodder should be
tramped down thoroughly.
Silage made in this manner will keep
well. The quality is not quite as good
as that made from corn cut while still
green and no extra water added, but 1t
makes excellent feed. Silage made
from corn fodder, further, is not nearly
as sour. Ii has a pleasant sweet smell
and the cows not only like 1t, but
thrive on ii as well. ..

Rye Is as
Economical Swine Feed

d. The feeding of rye as o substitute
for corn in f~attening pigs Is held by
Minnesota experiment station and ag-
ricultural extension men 10 be good
economical practice in view Of the pre-
vailing market prices for the two
cereals.
"As about 102 pounds Of rye have
given the same results as 100 pounds
of corn" says III. G. Zavoral, live stock
specialist, rye at present prices would
be the most economical feed. Accord
ing TO Henry & Morrison's Feeds and
Feeding ground rye is worth "a per
cent as much per ton as ground corn
for hog feeding.
RYE is not as palatable as corn and
hogs will not consume ii as freely,
Neither is ii as good a feed for horses
or cattle as 1t is for f%attening hogs,
but by mixing II with more palatable
feed, such as corn and oats, 1t may be
satisfactorily fed. 1t is harder to
masticate than some other grains and
should be ground or rolled for best re
suits"

Winter Cover Crop Will

A winter v crop protects the

Storing Vegetables for
Home Use During Winter

1t is to the interest OF every family
to grow each season a supply of those
vegetables suitable for storage, and to
see that they are properly stored for
use during the winter months when
prices are high and vegetables often
hard to get. Less work and less ex-
pense are involved in storing yege-
tables than in keeping them by other
methods, as canning. drying. and pre-
serving, and the product retains its
characteristic flavor much better.

green as late as this stage. Many ex-

Youth Exhibits
Champion Steer
Lloyd Taube of Marion,
Iowa, Wins First Prize
With His Calf.

Lloyd Taube, a seventeen-year-old
boy from Marion. Linn county, Iowa,
had the proud distinction of exhibiting
the grand hampton baby beef at the
Iowa state fair, held at Des Moines,
In what wt,s probably the largest show
of this character ever held. The boys
and girls whose animals had won at
the various county fairs were entitled
TO compete for state honors at Des
Moines. and a total of 446 head were
lined up before the judges when the
state contest WAS called.
The steer with which Lloyd won the
highest honor against this strong field
was a pure bred Aberdeen Angus calf
named ''Tiney". He was a February
calf, sired by Erin Boy ii of Lone Ash.
Lloyd bought him in September and
fed him largely on a homegrown ra-
ton of shelled corn and clover hay.
The calf did so well that his owner en-
tered him In the Baby Beef club in his
county. and at the local fair was
awarded the championship over 81
entries. This award carried with ii a
free trip to the International Live
Stock exposition, which viii be held in
Chicago the first week in December.
Took His Pet to Fair.
Spurred on by this success, Lloyd
took his pet steer to the Iowa state
fair. This animal and one other We're

which made his subsequent triumph
all the more noteworthy. After the

Has Won Three Times.

Lloyd has been in club work for six
years and has won at a county show
three times, always with an Angus
calf. Three years ago he was award
ed a trip to the international, and it
was the inspiration received while at
Chicago that later proved a big factor
I'm achieving his GROWING triumph.
While he will again attend that pre-
mier exhibition of the live stock world
this year, he will not exhibit Tiney
there himself, as he had promised a
well-known Angus exhibitor living in
his home town to let him have the
calf at the close Of the Iowa state fair.
This breeder will continue to grow
out the steer and will enter him at
Chicago in the open classes against
the highest fitted beeves of the most
skilled and experienced exhibitors. 1t
will be interesting to watch how this
highest type of boys club endeavor
will rank when pitted against the
finest products of the noted veterans
of the industry.
