In an interview today, Mr.. Warren
Wright, President of the Calumet

rocated the use of newspaper adver-
Using, and points to Calumet's sue
cess as proof Of his statement.
Calumet sales are 21a times as
much as any other brand" stated Mr..
Wright, "and we attribute this to our
lavish use of newspaper space. We
believe that the newspaper is the most
direct medium we can use in getting
Dur message across to the housewife,
and we know from our experience COW
ering thirty years that the housewife
will respond to newspaper advertis-
Ing quicker than she will to any other
form of advertising.
1.-THE housewives have confidence in
newspaper advertisements because
they know that the newspapers set up
high standards for their advertisers.
1t is for that reason that the house

DAIRY
HINTS
DELICATE TASTE OF BUTTER
Good Flavors Find Their Way Into
Product in Same Way as Those
Objectionable.

Good f1avors find their way into
milk and butter i'll somewhat the same
way as do undesirable flavors. A
dairyman whose farm-made butter Is
il high demand because of its excep-
tional flavor, holds that prompt cool
ing of the milk, clean water for his
cows, and sweet feeds, are the fac
tors chiefly responsible. If milk needs
to be pasteurized in order to overcome
a disagreeable flavor, or If cream has
to be neutralized before it is placed
in the churn, the resulting product will
be lacking in that delicate taste which
Is characteristic of the best quality OF
butter. Furthermore, it will soon grow
strong once 1t is removed from stor-
age. Every dairyman knows that
strong feed will result in undesirable
f1ayors, both in milk and butter. The
rapidity with which stable odOrs are
taken up by milk also is understood.
The fact that the prompt removal OF
animal heat from freshly drawn milk
affects its flavor Is less fully appre-
ciated. Yet the proper cooling of milk
is one of the details of dairy prac-
tice which is easy Of accomplishment
on most dairy farms. A bit of
thoughtfuIness at this point will work
wonders in dairy products.

CONTRASTING GIVES
TRUTH TO DAIRYMAN
Many Associations Organized in
Many Sections.
Records Show That Selection of Ami,
mails and Better Methods of Feed
ing Raise Average Production
Quite Rapidly.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
The study of production records OF
large numbers of cows, made possible
by the work of the many cow-testing
associations that have been organized
in almost every part Of the country,
has brought out grist of information
on the possibilities of dairy-cow i'm
provement and on the efficiency Of var
ious methods and practices. Tke rec
Ords of many thousands of cows have
been gone over In the last few years
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
From the lowest-producing group of
cows to the highest-producing group

butterfat production was accompanied
by an increase Of about $16 in income

AVOID PESTS IN
PEAS AND BEANS
LARGE Part of Loss From WeeVilS
Can Be Prevented by Using
Some PreCaution.
INSECTS VIGOROUS BREEDERS
lnfestations Can Be Quickly and Ef-
fectlveIy Stamped Out by Fumi-
cation With Carbon Dsul-
phide or Hydrocyanic Gas.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
II farmers will plant weevil-free
seeds, harvest beans, peas and cow
peas as soon as possible, treat the
crop to kill weevils and store 1t
where seeds can be protected from re-
infestation by weevils spreading from
infested seeds, large part Of the
loss from these insects can be pre-
vented, according to Farmers Bulle-
tin 1875, Weevils in Beans and Peas,
by e. A. Back, entomologist, just is
sued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Copies may be
obtained upon application to the de-
partment at Washington, D. G:
Weevlis Are Injurious.
These weevils, which never attack
corn and wheat, and but rarely in
fest velvet beans, soy beans or
vetches, are particularly injurious be-
cause they can breed generation after
generation in dried seeds in storage.
During the hottest summer weather
one generation requires only Is to 80
days for development. The average
total number of eggs laid by an indi-
vidual during her life is about 100.
Infested seeds in bulk usually heat,
thus producing temperature and
moisture conditions most favorable
for the rapid development and vigor-
GUS breeding of weevils.
The belief that adult weevils have
developed from the germ" inside the
seed is erroneous. The small round
holes often observed in seeds are
made by the grubs Of the weevil,
which upon Matching from eggs laid
in or on the pods, burrow into the
seeds by gnawing a hole no larger
than pin prick. Later the adults
emerge from the seeds.
Stamp Out lnfestations.
Infestations in beans and peas can
be quickly and effectively stamped
out by fumigation with carbon disul-
phide, carbon tetrachlori1e, or hydro
cyanic gas, and by means of heat or
cold storage Weevils can be pre-
vented from breeding in storage by
mixing dust or air-slaked lime with
the seeds. Concerted action by a
community Of growers has been
known greatly to reduce weevil in
festations and is recommended unre-
servedly for consideration in CONNER
cial bean-growing areas.

BEES LIKE SIRUP IN WINTER
Honey Contains Pollen Grains Which
Fill Intestines Of Insects, Caus-
ing Dysentery.

Bees do best on sirup in winter. be-
cause the best of honey contains pollen
grains which fill the intestines Of the
bees in winter, causing dysentery if
they eat too much or if the winter is
too long. According to University
farm experiments the proportion Of
winter mortality of sugar-fed and ncn-
sugar-fed bees stands as three to FIVE
in favor of sugar-fed bees. Every col
ony should receive ten pounds nure
sugar sirup.-Francis Jager, Minnesota

DEHORN CATTLE WHEN YOUNG
Treatment Of Calves by the Use Of
Caustlc Potash Is Simple and
Recommended.

Dehorning calves by the use of caus-
tic potash Is simple process, strong
ly recommended by the dairy depart
ment of the New Jersey State Agricul-
tural college.
At birth the calves have no horns,
but before long buttonlike structures
develop on the skin loose from the
skull, and later become attached to
the skull proper. These are the be-
ginnings of horns and while III this
early stage should be killed with
caustic potash First clip the hair

PUREBRED BULL is FAVORED
to Continue Use of Scrub or
Grade Animals.

Farmers and dairymen cannot con-
tinue to use scrub or grade bulls, says
a. G. Baer, professor of Dairy Hus-
bandry at the A. and NJ college.
Profitable dairying depends on, W
good breeding; (2) wedding out poor
cows; (3) good feeding.
A purebred bull will improve all
dairy herds which are not now headed
by purebred male, Mr.. Baer says.
Farmers or dairymen can very often
club together and buy a bull which
costs more than an ordinary purebred
male. Whenever possible, hed bull
should be from a tested dam with a
good record.

SIMPLE DEHoRNINe METHOD
When Calf Is Few Days Old Apply
Solution of Concentrated Lye-
Use Rag on Stick.

When a calf is a few days old, clip
hair from the horn knobs and apply
vaseline on the skin around them for
a few inches. Then apply a solution
of one ounce of concentrated I've dis
Solved in two ounces of water. Use
a rag on a stick. Allow to dry and

over cost of feed. The more fat pro-
duced, the bigger this income. A few
heavy producers are better than q
larger number Of light yielders.
The average production Of the d.
234 cows whose 12-month records have
been studied was 6,077 pounds OF milk
and 24S pounds Of butterfat, or about
so per cent more than the average Of
all the dairy cows in this country.
The records show that selection of ami
mails and better methods Of feeding
raise average production rapidly dur
ing the first year or two that the cow
testing association is in operation, but
the figures for subsequent years show
small gains. This is proof enough that
there is still much room for improve
ment in the breeding Of cow-testing
association cows.
Each year more farmers realize the
value of the testing association as a
basis of herd Improvement On July
l, 1922, there were in operation 513
associations including 12,458 herds
and 215,321 cows, as compared with
452 associations the previous year.
Wisconsin and Minnesota, two of the
greatest dairy states, showed great
gains in testing associations. During
the year the number in Wisconsin grew
from 103 to 127, and in Minnesota
from % to 81.

away carefully around the spot to be
treated, then with stick of caustic
potash moistened in water, rub the
skin over the small horn until the skin
is broken. Sticks of this knd can be
procured at any drug store.
Care should be taken not to use too
much water as it may run down the
side of the face and cause sores. De-
horning with caustic should take
place when the calf is from three to
ten days old.

FEED CORN SILAGE ALL YEAR
Principal Object to Keep in Mind Is
That Material Should Be Given
With Other Feeds.

Corn silage can be fed quite liberal
ly during all seasons of the year. The
principal thing to keep in mind Is that
1t should be given with other feeds and
in such quantities as the animal can
eat up clean. 1t is very cheap feed
and therefore plays a most important
part in economic production of stock
and stock products.
