Chicken Mites Numerous
During the Hot Season

The summer time brings with it our
greatest trouble with chicken mites.
If they once get a start 1t Is usually
long fight to get the best Of them.
They can be prevented in getting a
start, however, with regular spraying
Of the poultry house once a week. Any
good contact sprays such as the various
sheep dips, crude oil, mixture Of
carbolic acid and kerosene, or any of
the coal tar products are good. The
solution you buy in the can Is usually
designated as a stock solution. In max
ing up spray mixture for mites 3 per
cent or three parts Of this stock solu-
ton Is used to 81 per cent or 81 parts
Of water. This strength Is sufficient
to keep down mites. If the mites once
get start 1t may be necessary to use
as strong as 10 per cent solution.

Seed Corn Pointers
for Improving Crop
Best to Make Selections
From Vigorous Stalks.

If you wish to keep your corn in a
constant state Of Improvement, the
thing to do Is to select for vigor with
out close attention for score card type.
That Is the new word, based on
years Of careful study and experiment
at the Minnesota experiment station,
University farm, st. Paul.
For several years the Minnesota
experiment station has carried on &C
tivities designed to encourage the Sc
lection of seed corn from the standing
stalks in the field before frost time
in the fall. The idea was to get early
maturing corn from vigorous plants.
But now comes H. X. Hayes, plant
breeder Of the division Of agronomy
and farm management with a new bull
letin, No. 21O Of the Minnesota expert
ment station series, Methods of Corn
Breeding" which among other things
says:
Corn should be selected from per
fect-stand hills and from vigorous
healthy stalks. Plants which are
green when the ear approaches ma
turity insure normal maturity Of the
ear.
"Close selection for ear type leads
to a reduction in yielding ability. For
this reason no close selection for ear
type should be made"
This Is no very striking change of
viewpoint, except that too much en-
phasis has been placed on score card
ear type and not enough on vigor. Mr..
Hayes experiments indicate clearly
that vigor has first claim on the seed
selecter's attention.

Sudan Grass Excellent
as Stock Pasture Crop

Summer pasture crops, especially on
the dry lands, are quite necessary for
the best milk production and for grow
ing animals, say successful livestock
farmers. Experience has shown the
value of pasture crops to the stock
and also the fact that pasture crops
produce an abundance Of excellent
feed. They save labor and build up
the soil.
For summer pasture on dry or irri-
gated lands, sudan grass is good. It
may be planted in rows or in drills. 1t
should be seeded now and will make
late summer and early fall pasture.
Seed used should be pure sudan, with
no cane mixture. From four to ten
pounds Of seed per acre Is used on dry
lands, depending on whether it is
rowed or drilled in. Fifteen to twenty
pounds is seeded under irrigated con-
ditions and drilled In. Start pastur-
ing when five or six inches high and
keep pastured close.
Such pastures are carrying from
three-fourths of head to one head
per acre Of mature cattle on dry lands
and from one and half to two head
Of cattle per acre under irrigation.
With such carrying capacity 1t be-
comes one Of our best feed producers
as well as furnishing fine quality Of

Seed Treatment
to Prevent Smut
Powdered Copper Carbonate
Can Be Applied by the
Farmer at Any Time.

A method Of seed treatment to pre-
vent hunt or sinking smut in wheat
where the fungicide Is applied dry has
been found which not only permits
the treating Of the seed dry, but at
the same time does not destroy any of
the vlability Of seed. 1t also prevents
Infection of the seed in the soil. This
method enables the farmer to treat his
seed wheat during slack time and
have 1t ready when needed. The fun
gicide used Is powdered copper car

Fairly Pure Material.
Copper carbonate used should be

unless Impure. 1t Is not soluble In

the operator should wear a dust mask

Seed treated with copper carbonate
can be stored after treating. The

viability caused by this treatment, less
seed than normal should be used

Self-Feeder Saves Money!

A hog Is queer critter. He will
grow fast and thrive If he knows he
can get all the food he wants, and all
the clean water he needs when he
wants it. If he doesn't get it right
then he begins to squeal and worry
and run off his flesh. The self-feeder
gives every hog all the time he needs
to fill up as often as his appetite will
permit. Being contented and peaceful
he eats and sleeps and grunts and eats
some more and grows into money.

Cost of Screening Barn

The cost Of screening the barn Is
more than paid for by the increased
production. When the cows are free
from flies they can devote their energy
to production. If screening cannot be
done, spraying with some cheap but
effective fly repellent should precede
the milking process, whenever pos
slble. Care should be taken, however,
not to get any Of the spray into the
milk, because Of the disagreeable odor
and taste 1t will impart.

Care and Feed for Calf

An important thing Is to keep the
buckets or other utensils from which
the calf is fed scrupulously clean at
all times. The calf bucket should be
washed daily. If 1t Is allowed to-
get sour, scours are almost sure to
follow. After weaving. grain feeding
should be continued. Three or four
pounds Of good grain mixture will
keep 1t In fine condition until 1t Is a
year old and little more grain
should be fed the second year.
