Value Of Pure Bred

of Agriculture.)
The utility of pure bred live stock
was impressively demonstrated at the
Myron Straton Home Farms of Colo
RADIO Springs, Colo, recently, according
to reports to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture The demon
stration was supplementary to the ed
ucational tour through Colorado of the
pure Bred Sire Speciar' over the lines
of the Colorado & Southern and the
Burlington railways.
Two two-year-oId steers fed alike
for FIVE and one-half months in the
feed lots were slaughtered and COM
parison of the carcasses made. One
dressed carcass weighed 715 pounds:
this steer came from a herd headed
by a pure bred Hereford sire. The
other one weighed 470 pounds; 1t was
a common steer without breeding.
When marketed, the better animal
brought 10 cents pound wholesale,
while the scrub brought only II cents.
This difference in price, together with
the difference in weight, gave the
Hereford steer money value more
than double that of the common steer.
The dressing percentage of the Here
ford was 81 per cent and that of the
scrub was only ~ per cent.
The butcher in charge of the dem
onstration said, eve have to peddle
beef such as this from the scrub, and
force it on our trade because we can
not get enough of the better kind to
supply the demand"
Superintendent j. NJ Gould of the
Straton Home Farms said: IF we
could get the better-grade steers, bear
ing the stamp of quality that comes
from pure bred sires, we would take
them in preference to scrubs. They
make more economical gains and bring
more per pound, and more pounds per

legumes, farmers have sought ard
made use Of local supplies. In northern
Wisconsin where paper mills use pure
burnt lime in purifying processes, the
farmers have taken the lime from the
dumps and found it very satisfactory.
Many piles of wood ashes containing
40 to 80 per cent of actual lime are
available for agricultural use in the
localities near the sawmills.
Mari in Lakes Valuable.
A source Of local lime supply which
has been used in Europe for centuries,
and in some places in this country, for
years is mari. Soil inspectors and
biologists have found that many Wis
consin lakes contain mari. They have
located mari in many of the lakes in
the counties of Waupaca, Portage,
Waushara, Adams, Shawano, Mari
nette, Door. Burnett, Marquette, Wau-
kesha and to a less pronounced degree
in certain other districts.
While pure mari is chalky white in
color that being located by the repre-
sentative of the state is blue gray, or
grayish in color, intermixed with white
or gray colored remains OF snail shells,
clam shells or other shell fish. It is
believed that a large portion of mari
comes from the remains of these dis
tntegrated shell fish; other parts
come from lime washed out of the
soil through drainage waters. This
lime is carried to lakes by rivers,

Watermelon Seed Needs
Best Kind of Attention

Many farmers fail to secure a good
stand in their field of watermelons.
Oftentimes they fail to secure as good
a crop of commercial size melons as
they should. Many melons show signs
of disease. It is possible to protect
against poor stands and poor crops If
proper attention is given to seed as
well as seed beds. Seed should be
tested for termination. Then thew
should be disinfected. Specialists on
truck diseases recommend the follow
ing: Take the amount of seed you
have andSsoak them in a 1-to-1 900
solution of corrosive sublimate Obi
chloride of mercury for ten minutes.
Do not leave them in this solution
longer than ten minutes.
Remove from the solution and wash
thoroughly in three or four changes of
clean fresh water to remove the dis
infectant. The seed are now ready
to plant.
This corrosive sublimate solution

This amount is sufficient for a quarter

ROADSIDE BOOTHS
MAKE HONEY SALES
Service to the Summer Tour
lists Wins AII-Year Market
for the Farmer.

Selling to tourists is the new way
of marketing many of Wisconsin's
choice farm products. Residents on
trunk highways find that the travelling
public is eager to buy produce fresh
from the farm.
William M. Jacobson, an Outagamie
county beekeeper, who has made a
success of highway marketing, urges
the apiarist to have large signs on
the highway, one about one-fourth mile
on each side of his booth and SIM
liar one at the booth, so either coming
or going, everyone will know that he
has honey for sale. Without these
advance signs they pass too quickly.
Attract Attention of Public.
A booth is not so necessary where
the beehives and the honey house are
near the highway. Nothing attracts
the attention of tourists more than
the beehives. They then drop in to
inquire for honey.
One of the most important features
in selling honey this way is cleanli-
ness. WheE people visit the honey
,onse many sales will be made If ev-
- 'e clean. Allowing people to

Number Of Remedies Are
Useful in Killing Lice


Calves infested with lice do not
thrive. Any one of a number of rene
dies may be used to rid calves of lice.
The most effective treatment is wash
ing or dipping. There is little danger
from colds when the calves are
washed with a coal-tar dip solution.
OF course, one must use Judgment and
pick warm day and after washing
the calves, dry them by rubbing with
dry cloths or blanketing until they are
dry. The dip has a warming effect
which helps keep the calves from
taking cold
A scrubBing brush Is good to apply
the dip solution with. Make up the
dip according to the directions Of the
manufacturer. This washing should
be repeated IN ten days or two weeks
to get the second brood after it
matches.
Some may object to washing the
calves or the weather may not be IA
vOrable. In such cases a powder may
be used until the lice can be totally
destroyed by the use of a liquid. So
dunn f1uoride may be busted on the
affected parts. The lice are found
along the neck and back. Louise pow
ders are all right for temporary relief
and should be repeated in ten DAYS
for the second hatch. A good powder
can be made as follows: Sulphur, two
pounds; sabadilla seed, one pound,
and pyrethrum powder, one pound.
This should be busted on and repeat
ed in two weeks Another remedy is
linseed oil applied occasionally dur
ing the winter.

are due to the fact that many poor
eggs are set. Test your eggs carefully,
and take out all with thin and spotted
shells or those with cracked shells.
Make sure that all eggs set are also
of standard size.
The greatest loss in incubation oc-
ours in the embryos that die in the
shell. This may be due to faulty
methods of incubation or to eggs of
poor Matching quality. Immature pull
let's, breeding stock that has been sick
ly and birds that have been forced
heavily for winter production are apt
to produce eggs that will not hatch
well.
Use Healthy Breeders.
All breeders used should be thor
oughly healthy; they should have
abundance of constitutional vigor; and
they should receive good breeding ra-
lions. The department advises against
the use of too much protein, probably
not over Ii per cent, in the mash ra-
lions; plenty of green food should be
provided. Furthermore, give the
breeders as much exercise as possible.
In fact, do everything possible to
insure the production Of eggs of good
Matching quality and many apparent
troubles in incubation will be solved.
