PROBLEMS OF WARM
WEATHER FOR DAIRY

Just q minute please" The man
ager of the powder plant stepped to
the curb to hail one of his largest
patrons, who was just driving away
with a truck load of cans, most of
them full of rejected milk. In fact
this patron had been taking the most
Of his milk lack home with him for
week. He was in an exceedingly
ugly frame Of mind-as most of. us
would be under the same conditions.
II am pretty sure that the trouble Is
with that milking machine of yours,
the manager told him. "How long
is 1t since you changed the solution
in your crockT' The patron acknow-
lodged that he was using the same
sterillzing solution for the rubber
tubes Of his milking machine as when
the manager had last visited the farm
a month before. "There is your whole
trouble" observed the manager.
"Change your solution and keep add
ing fresh chloride to 1t and l guess
likely you will bring US the kind OF
milk that we can accept" The man
who uses a milking machine, and mis-
name is now legion, has hot weather
troubles that his brother who miiks
by hand knows nothing about. Inc
rubt err tubes are ideal breeding places
for undesirable bacteria unless the
solutions in which they are kept pc
tween milkings are carefully Watcheu'
A good solution is recommended Dy

follows. Mix the contents of Il
ounce can Of chloride Of lime with q
gallon of water in small crock. Add
first enough of the water TO make q
paste and then the remainder. Inc

filled with clean water to within six

Hill Selection Of Seed
Potatoes Is Satisfactory

A large number of pairs Of plants
from similar halves of the same seed
tubers were grown under as nearly the
same conditions as possible and were
compared for yield at the Geneva
experiment station. Wide differences
were found in the yields, ranging from
nothing to 141.S per cent of the aver
age yield of the two plants of the
pair, with an average difference of 23.4
per cent. This rather unexpected re-
suit is said to indicate that there are
probably important factors affecting
the yield of potatoes which are I'M
known or which are not now fully APP
preciated. An unequal number of
stalks per plant is known to have been
an important cause of the differences
in yield noted in the station expert
ments.
1t is believed that these wide differ
ences in yield of plants from halves of
the same seed tuber which would ordi-
narily be expected to be quite uniform,
show that the Improvement of pota-
toes by the hill selection method can
not be carried to full perfection.
1.-THE usual farm practice of selecting
seed potatoes from the best yielding
hills should not be affected by these
findings" says the experts, "as they
are of interest primarily to the expert
or to those attempting to develop inn
proved strains of potatoes. Selecting
seed potatoes from high yielding hills
has been thoroughly demonstrated as
a satisfactory method for maintaining
high yields"

WhiteWash Still Is
Oldest of Paints
No New Material Found
to Supersede 1t.

Though whitewash is one of the old
est paints used in American agricul-
ture for the interiors of barns and
other buildings. no new material has
ever threatened to supersede it.
"This is largely because whitewash
is cheap, easy to prepare, and has I'M
dergone a process of Improvement"
says Il. r. Gross, rural engineer, New
Jersey College of Agriculture. White
wash cleans. and disinfects in addition
to giving buildings wholesome, pleas
ing appearance.
Quicklime is still the basic SUBJ
stance used in making whitewash. but
years of experience have resulted in a
formula that includes a few cheap sub
stances which greatly improve the dis
injecting qualities and durability Of
the mixture. What is commonly known
as the government formula is excel
lent:
Half bushel (S1 Ibs.) of quick-lime or
lump lime slaked in Z gallons of hot
water.
One peck (15 lbs.) of salt dissolved
in gallons of hot water.
Three pounds of ground rice boiled
to thin paste.
One pound of clear glue dissolved in
one gallon of warm water.
Half pound of Spanish whiting dis
solved with the glue.
The lime is slaked in a barrel or
tub. The salt water is then added, fol-
lowed by the glue and whiting mixture
and, finally, the rice paste. The entire
batch requires thorough stirring
Twelve ounces of alum added to this
mixture acts as a hardener and makes
it stick better. To increase the gloss
two or three bars of laundry soap
may be added. There is an advantage
in applying whitewash while it is hot
Care should be taken not to apply it
too thick, as it will then crack and
scale.

FeuO Married Men
Are LaIUbreakers

The married man who lives happily
with his family has four-to-one
chance of steering clear of the law.
That is the conclusion reached by
an American statistician and sociolo-
Sist, who has published a book con-
tanning pages of figures proving that
only one prisoner in every four is
married. The same. he says, is true
of women, reports Answers.
Marriage, of course, has a steady
ing influence on many men and won,
en-. AT the same time its cares and re-
sponsibilities may provide, in certain
cases, a positive urge towards crime.
A man with a family who has not
sufficient money to steer clear of debt,
for instance, has a stronger motive for
stealing than a man who has only
himself to look to. Yet a mans love
for his wife and fear of what the re-
suit of his discovery and conviction
would be to his wife and little ones
holds him back from doing wrong.

Crown of Alfalfa Plants
Is Close to the Ground

Young alfalfa plants have a sort of
a crown close to the top of the ground
A horse or a sheep will bite off the
young plants below the crown during
the FIRST fall and winter and kill the
plants. Cattle do not crop so close
to the ground but they do eat the tops
that should be left there every winter
for protection and to hold the snow.
Alfalfa stays green under the snow all
winter, not very green, but still there
is some color near the ground on
every crown. A few warm days and
the green shows more and then it
dies back slightly with the next cold
snap. If the stock are even allowed
TO run over the alfalfa field when the
weather is cold they will break off the
tops of the plants and kill quite a per-
centage of all the plants they touch.
Fence is cheaper than reseeding al
falfa.
