He brought with him two reports
submitted by the tariff commission
relative to the sugar industry. These
he intends to study infinitely. 1t Il
possible that he may reach a de
cision on a new sugar tariff before
his return.
Only Mrs. Coolidge, their son
John, and c. Bascom Slemp, Mr.
Coolidge's secretary, accompanied
him.

Handling Clay Soils Is
Most Difficult Problem

OF ali the various types of soil TO be
found, none when properly handled
are more productive than the heavy
clay The very fineness of these soils
gives them a large water-holding ca
paeity. which will adapt them to the
production of small grains and
grasses.
The management of these soils pre-
sents special problems for considera-
dency to bake and TO require more
than the usual amount of labor in cul-
tivatiOn. The lack of sufficient sur
face or underdrainage makes them
cold and wet in the spring. and when
there is a lack of vegetable or organic
matter, they are hard to work and less
productive.
One of the great drawbacks with
this type of soil is the fneness of the
soil particles. To offset this condition,
the farm practice should be so ar
ranged that the operations will sys-
tematically open up and make these
soils more porous. Special attention
must be given to the time and type
Of blowing and cultivation. Heavy
clay soils should be fall plowed when
the moisture content is right. If
worked when wet, they are apt TO
puddle and bake. While it is neces-
sary TO pillow these soils deeply, the
depth should be lowered gradually.
The early working of these soils, in
the spring. is most important.

A simple table, worked out at the
Iowa Agricultural college, is endorsed
as practical and good by the animal
husbandry workers at the New YORK
State college at Ithaca. They point
out that tables would hardly be needed
if silos contained nothing but air. or
water, or rocks, or sand. But Stage
packs down. so that the higher the
silo, the greater the pressure on the
bottom layers, which means more
pounds TO the square foot at the bot
tom of the silo. Other factors, such
as time Of filling and condition of corn,
also cause variation in weight.
The following table shows the aver
age weight at various depths of cubic
foot of silage; the first figure indicaf-
ing feet and the second pounds 1925,

Keep Flies Away From
Stock by Using Sprays

Every day we have calls for some
sort Of spray which will keep flies
away from cattle. The following Is
suggested by the New Jersey expert
ment station:
The common cattle flies which gath
er on the backs of cows and annoy
them so that milk production Is de-
creased. can be eliminated by home
made spray mixture that costs only
l cent a day for each cow.
A spray mixture recommended By
]. K. Bartlett. professor of dairy hus-
bandry at the college of agriculture
at New Brunswick. consists of the
following ingredients: AZ quarts of
coal tar dip, Az quarts fish oil. 8
quarts of coaloil. 8 quarts of whale
oil, IL quarts of oil of tar, 3 pounds
of laundry soap.
Dissolve the soap in water and add
the other ingredients. Mix the COM
bination thoroughly and bring the
whole up to 80 gallons by adding luke
warm water.
This spray will not injure the coats
of the animals. 1t is well TO spray
twice daily; once in the morning after
milking, and again in the afternoon.
Thirty gallons will spray 40 cows for
ten days at cost of l cent per cow
per day.

been checked to some extent during
August, in view of instructions sent
out by direction of the secretary of

After a thorough study of the re-

horse experts have arrived at the con-
clusion that if America has any hopes
of winning her share of the equestrian
honors. two things must be done First,
the clean-blooded horses possessed by
America must be distributed to a num-
Der of army officers for training and.
secondly, after a course of training,
competition should be held as a result
of which the horses will be selected to
compose the American team.

prepared by the United States De-

Heavy losses of pork products due
TO mango mites of hogs have been re-
ported lately to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture by its inspee-
tors in the Central West. In addition
TO being an irritation TO hogs, result
ing in general unthriftiness, mango
mites cause meat losses running into
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually, according TO recent information
obtained. Reports by ]. o. Wilson,
chief veterinary inspector of the bu-
reau of animal industry stationed in
South Dakota, are now being studied
by department specialists from an eco
nomic, as we'll as from a veterinary
standpoint. Through the courtesy Of
FL. F. Veenker, superintendent of
large packing house in Sioux Falls, S.
D., Doctor Wilson obtained sufficient
evidence of avoidable losses to suggest
concerted action in reducing the raw

Damage Vital Parts.
uIy ~ per cent VI tie mugs
slaughtered in South Dakota during
the winter months of 1924 showed
evidence of the mango mites, though
only about one-half of that num-
Der were sufficiently affected as to
cause definite losses. The mango para
sites damage the hams, bacons and
picnics principally-the parts of the
hog that are of greatest value. The
pest is most troublesome during the
colder months, when most hogs are
marketed.
The damage to hog carcasses caused
by the mites assumes the form OF
roughened skins and Inflammation In
some cases the meat is entirely unfit
for food. In other instances the in
jury places the pork products from
such hogs in the lower grades. which
have a reduced market value of from
3 TO cents. The observations made
in South Dakota are believed TO be
typical of other important swine
growing states.

Use of Fly Sprays and
Different Repellants

The use of fly sprays and repellants
offer some relief at milking time, but
it is doubtful if thorough spraying
will affect the milk flow. Trials at the
Missouri experiment station and re-
Gently at the Kansas station have
tended to show no increase in milk
flow following liberal spraying. The
sprays used in the Kansas test were
partially successful in reducing the
number of flies during milking time at
q cost of one to two cents per cow per
day. The decrease in milk flow which
occurs during fly time is largely due
to short pastures and hot weather. To
see that the cows have sufficient feed,
water and shade is therefore of pri-
mary Importance.
