ture as long as the supply lasts.
The fumes Of burning sulphur are
recommended as remedy under some
conditions. They readily destroy the
insect in all stages. including the egg.
There is, however, some risk Of injury
to hangings. wall papers and fabrics
from the strong bleaching quality Of
sulphur fumes. Formalin gas and
the vapors of benzine, napthaline and
camphor, which are sometimes used,
are Of little value and insect powders
are not effective because they do not
get into crevices.
Best Simple Control Method.
The best simple method of control
is liberal application of benzine,
kerosene or gasoline. introduced with
small feathers or brushes or injected
with syringes into all crevices of beds,
furniture or walls where the insects
might be concealed. The Dashboard
and picture molding of the room
should be given attention and also the
backs of pictures. Corrosive sublimate
and oil Of turpentine may also be used
in this way. Many Of the commercial
remedies offered for sale contain one
or another Of these Ingredients. Hot
water will destroy both bugs and eggs
II 1t can be used without damaging the
furniture.
The most important part of the cam
paign against the pest Is daily In
spection Of beds. bedding seams. bind
ing and tufts of mattresses. and all
parts Of the spring and bedstead, wall
and room where the vermin might be

Summer Suggestions on
Care of Dairy Utensils

It Is more or less difficult to give
adequate care to the dairy utensils
during the summer months This Is
due to the fact that hot scalding wa
ter or steam is more troublesome to
obtain. Proper care Of these utensils
is important during the summer
months due to the temperature which
favors the multiplication Of bacteria.
In the production Of high-grade milk
1t is necessary that all utensils be
thoroughly cleaned, for II any organic
matter is left in any of them. 1t is al
most impossible to produce the desired
quality Of milk.
II the utensils are cleaned with wa
ter just as 1t comes from the well or
tap, some bacteria will remain which
will multiply very rapidly during the
warm weather of the summer months.
The utensils should be sterilized, and
this is done by exposing them to live
steam for several minutes. In the
cleaning of tinware they should be
first washed with cold water and then
with hot water and a washing powder
that is alkaline in nature. Ordinary
soaps are not satisfactory in the clean
Ing of the utensils of the dairy. After
the tinware has been thoroughly
cleaned 1t should be sterilized. Ster-
ilization is the most important factor
In the production Of high-grade milk.

Edible OH From Egyptian Plant.

A plant belonging to the lettuce
family, now cultivated In Upper Egypt
and which can be grown with profit
in certain parts Of the Sudan, is a
new source Of edible oil. The. seed
yields under pressure from 81 to 38
per cent Of oil and certain specimens
of fresh seed from the Sudan, which
contained less than 4 per cent Of wa
ter, yielded more than A per cent.
The oil is odoriess, OF light yellow
color and without disagreeable taste.
The seed is 30 small that 1t cannot
be bundled with ordinary equipment,
but the oil product is SO valuable that
new machinery will no doubt be built
to do the work.

Trunks, wraps and travelling bags
may furnish means of transporting
bedbugs into the house Not infre-
quently they gain access to impeccably
clean premises in the laundry basket.
Sometimes they migrate from one
house to another, or from one apart
ment to another along heating or wa
ter pipes. The only odium attaching
to the discovery Of a bedbug Is fall
ure to take immediate steps to eradi-
cate 1t, with all Its possible progeny.
Outside of the question Of personal
discomfort caused BY their bites, bed
bugs are possible carriers Of disease
and therefore are dangerous house
mates.
Bedbugs hide in the daytime In
cracks in the wall or wood trim Of the
room, under wall paper, in joints Of
the bedstead or spring. in the tufts
or binding Of the mattress They come
out at night in search Of food, which
is human blood. The same bedbug, 1t

Series of Experiments
to Decide Value of Corn

Recently series of experiments
was run to decide the value of grind
ing corn. In these tests 1t was found
that cornmeal produced per cent
more milk and IA per cent more fat
than ear corn. Where corn and cob
meal were compared with cornmeal 1t
was found that the cornmeal was
slightly In the lead, having per
cent better production in butterfat.
Even though the corn is extra cheap,
the cows will give better account Of
themselves to the tester If they are

DAIRY
FACTS
Dairy Cows Respond to
Good Feed, and Treatment

Good Feed and Treatment
A dairy COW will respond TO good
feeding and good treatment. perhaps
better than any other farm animal.
Each Individual dairy COW should be a
unit by herself. Unlike other farm
animals. dairy cows cannot be efficient
ly fed In a feed lot. as the require
ments for each COW may be different.
The best feed for dairy cows is an
abundance of pasture grass when that
is available. A good pasture provides
balanced ration. Some highsproduc-
Ing cows will require little grain as
a supplement to pasture.
During the time Of the year when a
good pasture is not available. a COW
can be fed efficiently by providing:
1. An abundance Of palatable feed.
2. A balanced ration.
3. Succulent feed.
4. A moderate temperature in barn.
5. Comfortable surroundings.
A dairy COW is fed for the following
purposes:
I. For maintaining the body.
2. To supply material for milk.
8. For development Of fetus.
4. For growth of animal. II imma,
ture.
5. At times to produce gain in
weight.
Three general classes Of food mate
rial are required for feeding cows:
I. Protein or nitrogenous material.
2. Carbohydrates and fat to supply
heat and energy.
3. Ash or mineral matter.
A well-balanced dairy ration win
contain the above food material In the
proper proportions. In making up a
feed for dairy COWS, It is usually most
convenient to balance the roughage
and concentrates separately and then
feed all the roughness each COW will
eat and adjust the grain mixture to
the amount Of milk or butterfat pro
duced by the COW.
A good general rule to use as Z
guide In feeding Is to feed from one.

EXCELLENT WAYS TO

Suggestions Offered for Utilizing
Small Pieces.

of Agrieulture.)
Cold roast lamb and mutton sliced
is excellent, but the family may be
tired of having the remains Of the
roast served that way, or the pieces
may be too small to slice. In either
event, these suggestions for utilizing
this kind of leftover meat, offered by
food specialists In the United States
Department of Agriculture, will be ap-
precIated by the one who prepares the
famiIy's meals.
Minced Lamb!
Chop pieces of cold roast lamb fine.
A pint of chopped meat will serve a
family of five or six. Rub one table
spoonful each of butter and -four to-
gether; add one-half pint of milk, stir
until boiling; add tablespoonful of
finely chopped parsley, one-half tea
spoonful of salt and dash of cay
enne. Add the meat and stand over
hot water until served. If served on
toast trim the toast and butter and
cover with thick layer of the mince,
making little hollow in the center.
Into this hollow Cf you have plenty of
eggs and want heartier dish) put a
poached egg. Six will be required for
this quantity of meat.
