How to Kill OK Marbles
on the Backs Of Cattle

The grubs so commonly found In
'boils" on the backs of cattle during
winter and spring are the larvae of the
OK warble-f1y developed from eggs de-
posted by the fly when cattle are graz
ing. They are the source of much
misery to their hosts, and may reduce
milk yield or prevent normal growth
and development, besides causing ire
mendous economic loss by the damage
they do to the hides for leather. In
time this menace and mischief might
greatly be lessened, or possibly elimi-
mated, were every owner Of cattle, in
variably to protect his animals from
flies by free and frequent spraying
Wits a reliable repellent, and by
squeezing out and destroying every
grub he can find. The extraction Of
a grub from mature boil may readily
be accomplished by pressing down
hard on it with the open mouth of a
large bottle. A mixture Of one part
Of iodoform and five parts of lard
should then be applied to the boil, and
to immature ones, to induce healing
or destroy forming grubs. Such treat
ment always proves profitable and GER
tainly is humane.-Dr. A. s. Alex
ander.

EARN kCT&

The worst resolutions are the ones
that are not kept.
Crop rotation not only helps the
soil; it discourages insects.
-
Caulifiower can be grown as yen
would early cabbage. Try some.
Lack of paint not only lets a build
ing look ramshackle. 1t let's it rot.
A clean, disinfected poultry house
gives the laying hens chance to do
their share.
The true farmer is a practical scien-
fist and the whole realm of nature is
his laboratory.
Chickens and animals relish changes
in their feed. Even the best of rations
need some variety.
All good saw handles are made Of
apple wood, because 1t does not break
If saw is dropped.
The first commandment in the farm
er's decalogue is "Thou shalt not rob
thy soil of its substance"
Now is a good time to lay out the
fields and crops for the year. You have
more time for thought than during the
rush of spring work.
Calves born In the fall and ade-
quately housed and fed will as rule

Bring Dairy Cows Back
to Normal Production

SO far as know there is literally
nothing to the suggestion that clover
seed will bring dairy cows which have
slumped in their milking back to nor
NAL production, says writer in the
Rural New Yorker. Glover seed would
be rated as protein carrier, and the
particular quality of protein which 1t
would yield does not possess miracu-
lous qualities. Evidently the propo-
nents of such theory have failed to
observe that cows which have been fed
largely on corn and oats and such car
bohydrate carriers as these, do in
crease their flow of milk when any con-
centrated protein carrier such as cot
t0nseed meal. linseed meal, gluten
feed, or in this instance clover seed,
has been supplied to bring the home
grown feeds into balance. Manifestly
it would be foolish to use clover seed
to feed cows because its cost is many
times that Of protein carriers which
are intended for feeding purposes.

Feeding Available Milk
for Profitable Results

On a good many farms some milk
Is available for the feeding of the
laying hens. A common question is
whether this milk should be fed as
soon as it is separated or whether it
should be fed soured.
Sour milk is preferred to sweet
milk for chickens. The important rea-
sons are that 1t can be fed in one form
and therefore not cause bowel trouble
that one would have with feeding
sweet milk and. then sour as is apt
to occur from the feeding Of sweet
milk. Sour milk also has a beneficial
effect on account of its tactic acid
content. In the winter time it is
sometimes difficult to sour the milk.
This can be overcome by leaving it in
a warm place and adding small
quantity of sour milk to the warm,
fresh. skim milk. This acts as a
starter.
Care should be taken to keep the
buckets and drinking utensils clean
and sweet even though sour milk is
fed. This means that a thorough
cleaning is necessary at regular inter
rails.

Eastern Beliefs
Concerning Crystal

The two largest flawless crystal
spheres in the world were recently ex-
hibited in New York. One of them
measures nine inches in diameter and
the other just fifteen-sixteenths OF am
inch less. The value of the pair is
placed at $4,000.
The spheres were brought to New
York frol.: China. where they were cut
from perfect Burma crystal with a
small metal Ratchet. The work re-
quired infinite patience.
In ancient times in the Far East, and
in Europe crystals were supposed to
be Ice in permanent form. In Japan
small crystals were said to be the
breath OF the Great White Dragon.
while the larger ones were supposed
to come from the Violet Dragon.

Pasture Rotation
Reduces Parasites
Stomach Worms Are Among
the Most Serious Pests.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The belief of progressive sheepmen
that pasture rotation reduces the raw
ages of parasites among sheep and
lambs received scientific test last
year at the Beltsville (Md.) farm OPP
Grated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. According to the
report of the chief of the bureau Of
animal industry, just issued, that be-
lief is correct. The government inves-
9tigators found that systematic rota-
.tion Of forage-crop pastures enables
lambs to reach market weight with
out visible effects Of parasitic infes-
tation.
The system, though keeping para
sites in check, is not an absolutely
sure method. While the frequent
changes of pasture proved beneficial.
they were not entirely adequate in
the control of parasites of sheep car
ried throughout the year. Stomach
worms are among the most serious
pests attacking farm fiocks, and for
their complete suppression some
method Of treatment such as dosing
with dilute copper-sulphate solution is
desirable. Details Of the method are

reau Of Animal Industry, United States

His T,Do Objects

E. II. Simmons, the new president
Of the New York Stock exchange. was
defending the American business man.
Mr.. Simmons, nephew of the late
E. III. Hartman, said:
"Our highbrows accuse the Ameri-
can business man Of having only one
object in life-namely, the resolve to
be millionaire ut thirty-fve. This
is false, utterly false. The American
business man has two objects in life.
His first object, admittedly, is the
resolve to be millionaire at thirty
five. His second and far more aspiring
object is the resolve to be multimil-
lionaire at forty"
