NEW METHOD FOR ERAoi-
CATION OF COOLING MOTT

The A. C. Newton ranch on Fru"
Ridge. near Grand Junction, has Deen
the scene of an experiment this sum
mer for the determination OF lno
destructive Cooling moth that may
reyolutionize the method OF comoa..
ing the pest. A. L. Reynolds, one Oh
me prorressive fruit growers OF the
North Fork valley. made a trip to tne
ranch last week and brought oack
s.,me interesting information IN re
gard to the method used there tniS
summer.
Ordinary quart fruit jars contain
ing a solution formed from the Ter
mented Juice of the apple were
nlaced In the trees and the moths
seeking the apple Juice would rail- m
to the lars and on account OF geuing
their wings wet would be unable 70
ny out again. 5000 moths were
trapped in 20 jars by this method IL
is interesting to note that the jars
| In the tops OF the trees caught very
much larger number OF moths thah
those in the lower limbs where the
thick foliage interferes with the fly-
ing of the moth.
II this number of jars could trap
so many moths It seems that a larger
number of jars would very materially
reduce the damage done by the motn
In many places spraying seems TO De
Intellectual. For instance, 1t Is stated
that the Cross orchard was sprayed
six times this summer, yet the per
centage of infestation was very hign
Mr.. Roberts stated that Delta county
is not as badly infested with tnt
Codling moth as some other places OF
the Western Slope. yet 1t Is ba'
enough that II our ranchers are u
continue to raise first-class fruf
crops, more effective methods 10
the eradication OF this pest must b'
found and put into practice.
Mr.. Yedder. deputy entomologist, u
supervising the work on the New
ton ranch and feels quite encouraged
over the results OF the experiment
The formula for the solutions use'
is as follows:
Solution No. /: Apple Juice from
box apples, 41a gallons water:
pounds sugar (granulated) and ~
cakes yeast. This solution allowe'
to ferment and placed in jars wit
no other substance added.

Call Il Medicine.

Prohibition continues to be the
main topic of conversation. 1t Is q
subject that occupies considerable
space in the daily press. England
balked on allowing the United States
to chase smuggiers more than three
miles off shore, at sea. This spoiled
one plan the Government hoped would
help the situation. It has been an
nounced that enforcement authorities
will not interfere with acholics on
foreign ships from countries whose
laws requires such drinks to be served
to their sailors. That is. they won't
interfere unless the amount OF drinks
on board exceeds the supply the ships
own crews need. This liquor is to be
medicine. Other countries
recognize that America is within her
rights in regulating her ports as she
pleases. Canada has refused an Amer
lean request to restrict liquor exporta.
ton to this country. This attitude
blights the Governments hope OF
checking the flow of drinks across the
northern border.

SIMPLE METHOD TO pEHoRA
Easiest Way to Avoid Trouble With
Wild Bunch is to Perform
Task While Young.

The easiest way to avoid the ex-
pense and trouble Of dehorning q
bunch of wild and more or less unman.
ageable young cattle every spring is
to do the Job while they are baby
calves and easily handled.
When the calf is three to ten days
old, small buttons can be felt under the
skin where the horns are to be. With
pair of shears trim away the hair
around these buttons and then rub
them with stick of moistened caustic
potash. Continue rubbing until there
is a raw spot the size of a bean at the
horn tip. Be careful not to get SO much
water on the caustic that 1t will run
down the side of the face and produce
burns. To protect the fingers, wrap
the stick in paper or insert In a rubber
tube. Some men protect the calf from
unnecessary burns by smearing grease
around the horn outside of where the
caustic is to be.
Caustic potassium hydroxide) may
be obtained at any drug store and ten
cents worth is enough to dehorn u
dozen calves.

DAIRY
HINTS
GOOD FEED FOR DAIRY COWS
Abundance Of Pasture crass Is Best
Where AvallabIe-soms Grain
Often Needed.

A dairy COW will respond to good
feeding and good treatment, perhaps
better than any other farm animal.
Each Individual dairy Cow should be
unit by herself. Unlike other farm
animals. dairy cows cannot be eff
ciently fed in a feed lot. as the re
quirements for each COW may be diff
ferent.
The best feed for dairy cows is an
abundance of pasture grass when that
is available. A good pasture pro-
vides a balanced ration. Some high
producing cows will require a little
grain as supplement to pasture.
During the time of the year when q
good pasture Is not available, COW
can be fed efficiently by providing:
/, An abundance of palatable feed !;
2, balanced ration; 3. succulent
feed; 4, moderate temperature in
barn; s, comfortable surroundings.
A dairy COW Is fed for. the follow
ing purposes: l. For maintaining the
body; 2, to supply material for milk.
8. for development Of fetus; 4. for
growth Of animal If immature; 8, at
times to produce gain In weight.
Three general classes of good ma
terial are required for feeding cows:
l, Protein or heterogeneous material; I;
2, carbohydrates and fat to supply
heat and energy; 8, ash or mineral
matter.
A well-balanced dairy ration will
contain the above food material In
the proper proportions. In making up
a feed for dairy cows, 1t is Usually
most convenient to bal6nce the
roughage and concentrates separately
and then feed all the roughage each
COW will eat and adjust the grain
! mixture to the amount Of milk or
hutterfat produced by the COW.
A good general rule to use as a
guide in feeding is to feed from one
fourth to one-half as much of bal
anced grain mixture per day as the
cow gives milk per day. Cows giving
rich milk usually give less per day,
but need a little more grain in pro-
portion to the milk.-A G. Baer, Pro
fessor Of Dairying Oklahoma A. and
