RUBBER

Sometimes children find that they
know a good more about some mat
ters than Noah Webster did when
he was alive and wrote his dictiOn-
ary. If the dictionary was not re-
vised every year or two it would get
awfully out of date. That is be-
cause conditions change so rapidly,
and even definitions for word like
rubber" have to be rewritten.
In an old encyclopedia the word
rubber" had a reference after it:
"Shee India rubber" That was all.
Harvey Firestone, the manufac-
turer of rubber goods and tires, has
opened a great rubber plantation,
and he is growing new trees, in the
Republic of Liberia, in Africa.
In the earliest days of America
we were capturing black men in this
same Liberia and bringing them in
to this country and selling them as
slaves.
Just a few years ago-since the
World War-rubber tires for auto
mobiles were poorly made and they
did not last long. The rubber indus
try has made great strides in pro-
ducing vulcanizing agents, filters
and resistants for tires. Millions of
tires are used every year in the Uni
ted States.
Rubber rots and deteriOrates very
rapidly. A new chemical discovery
Milford chronicle., 1928-05-11

known as Neozone prevents most of
the deterioration, and adds long life
and mileage to rubber. Progressive
manufacturers use Neozone for au-
tomObile tires, and for fruit jar
rings, to keep them from becoming
hard and brittle, and they apply the
substance to the garden hose to
prevent the rubber cover from
cracking.
Children can save their parents a
lot of money by finding out about
just such new discoveries as this,
which when used will make for long
life on tires on the family bus, and
will help out the family bank ac-
count.

Save The Soil

Some of the worst examples of
soil erosion occur in soils which are
rich in plant food and otherwise
highly desirable. Take for example
soil with a good loan on the sur
face, a silly clay subsoil, and below
the subsoil sandy or gravelly lay
er or layers. Such a soil is favor
able to crops and tillage. Ihe clay
subsoil holds moisture, and the sand
below provides good drainage
against excess moisture. Once gull
lies cut through the subsoil and
reach the sandy layers, erosion and
gully cutting become disastrous.
Milford chronicle., 1928-05-11

The farmer has enough handicaps
to overcome in the way of unfavor-
able weather conditions and other
variable factors beyond his control,
without further handicapping him
self by neglecting the very essential
things which are under his control
and which to large measure help
him to control the variable factors
of weather, insect pests, disease,
etc.

GOOD FARMING BRINGS GOOD
RETURNS

The man who invests in sweet
clover, manure and commercial fer
tilizers, better drainage, better cul-
tivation, better irrigation, better la
Dor, rather than buying or renting
more land to farm under old meth
DDS, has small need to worry about
increased tonnage or larger returns.

The sand washes quickly and then
the clay and loan layers cave into
the gullies which widen at the heads
and on the sides. At the first indi-
cation of such a gully it pays to
build a soil saving dam and to pull
or scrape in dirt and organic mat
ter that will stop the outlying.
Controlling Poultry Parasites
Disinfectants used in tthe poultry
house destroy contagious disease
germs and some parasites such as
mites and ticks. Limewash made
from freshly slaked lime is good
disinfectant, as are also a 5 per cent
carbolic-acid solution and cresOl
which may be purchased ready for
use. Kerosene emulsion fused par
ticularly to kill mites) is another
satisfactory disinfectant. To make
it shave half pint of hard laundry
soap into a half gallon of soft water
and boil the mixture until the soap
is dissolved then remove from the
fire and stir into it, while hot, 2 gal
Ions of kerosene. If used to kill
mites, quart of the kerosene emul-
sion is mixed with 10 quarts of wa
ter; if used as a disinfectant, stir
well then add 1 pint of crude car
bOlic acid or of cresol and again stir
until well mixed. Disinfectants may
be applied to walls or ceilings by a
brush or spray pump. Care should
be taken that the disinfectant is ap-
piled in a thorough manner so as TO
reach all cracks and crevices and all
parts of the boards and rOOsts. Feed
ing and drinking trOughs should be
disinfected by pouring boiling hot
water into them and drying them in
the sun.

Feeding the Dairy Cow At Calving
Time

A COW that has been dry and fe(
grain for six or eight weeks before
calving should be in good flesh al
this time. A few days before calv'
ing it is well to cut down the guam
tity of hay and silage and reduce
the grain to three or four pounds a
day. Good feeds to give at this time
are linseed meal and ground oats
mixed with wheat bran. The cow
should be given very little hay Or
silage Just before calving, but a
warm bran mash is advisable. See
that the drinking water is not too
cold and if necessary give her II
pound of EPSON salt. Just after the
calf is born, the COW needs little
feed except perhaps a warm bran
mash and lukeWarm water to drink.
After two days she may be given all
the hay she wants and a small guam
tity of silage or other succulent
feed. Only about four pounds of
grain should be given at first and
the amount increased gradually. If
a COW is a high producer, she should
not be given full feed for three
weeks after calving but medium and
low producers may be given the
regular feed somewhat sooner.
Plants and Flowers BY Parcel Post
Vegetable and towering plants
and cut-floWers can be shipped at
this time of the year by parcel post
if proper care is given, in packing
them for shipment. The essentials
are that they be kept from drying
out, that they have enough venrila-
ton to prevent heating, and that
they are protected from being brok-
en-. Strawboard containers with a
few holes punched in them for ven
tilation are suitable for shipping
plants, especially during warm wea-
ther. Sphagnum moss or some SIM
liar method which retains moisture
should be used around the roots Of
the plants. The packing material
should be made thoroughly damp,
but not wet enough to cause leakage
or dripping of water. Parchment or
heavy wax paper is then wrapped
around the moist packing material
with a layer of heavy wrapping pa
ner around the outside of the entire
bundle. A few holes should be
nunched in this outer wrapping pa
ner for ventilation, then the bundle
enclosed in the straw-board box. In
shipping plants such as sweet pota-
foes that are liable to heat in trans
II place a small roll of excelsior
through the middle of the bundle for
ventilation. Plants that go beyond
he third zone require much greater
care in packing than those shipped
shorter distances. The more deli
,ate cut-flowers will not stand long
distance shipment, especially IN not
weather. Cut-fowers that are TO De
shipped by parcel post should be
cut during the early morning OF

The products from soft hogs have
flaccid, shapeless condition that
makes them inconvenient to handle
and unattractive in appearance. The
producer of soft or oily hogs must
usually accept a lower price for
them-about 2 cents pound live
weight-than for firm hogs, owing to
the difficulty in packing and hand
ling the soft products. Because of
this deduction it is often undesir-
able to raise them. 1t was formerly
thought that the soft-pork problem
was important only in localities pro-
ducing peanuts, but it is now known
that soy beans, which are widely
grown and utilized in pork produc-
ton to a greater extent than any
other known softening feed, also
have softening influence on hogs.

Bacterial blight is one of the most
widespread diseases affecting beans.
The infection is first indicated by
very small, water-soaked spots on
the undersides of the leaves. Later
they quickly enlarge to irregular
brown spots with bright yellow bor-
ders and sometimes cover the great
er part of the leaf. On the pods the
disease causes irregular water-sOak-
ed spots which become reddish and
sunken. Reddish streaks develop
lengthwise of the stems. This dis
ease can be controlled by the use of
seed from disease-free plants, plant
ing western-grown seed if possible.
1t is best to cultivate or pick the
beans only when they are dry, and
the use of bean straw as a fertilizer
or feed should be avoided.

If calf-meal cruel is desired for
the calf, it may be prepared at home
according to the following formula,
which has been found to be satisfac-
tory by dairy specialists of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
Fifty parts by weight of finely
ground corn, Is parts of linseed
meal, Is parts of finely ground roll
ed oats, 10 parts of dried blood flour,
10 parts of dry skim milk, and u
part of salt. The ingredients should
be mixed until smooth with an equal
weight of cold water; then eight
pounds of warm or boiling water
should be added to each pound of
dry mixture used. Then stir the
mixture well and allow to stand for
several hours. 1t is best to mix only
enough at one time for one or two
feelings. The cruel should be warm
ed to 1907 F. before feeding to the
calf.

From research studies made by
extension workers of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
particularly through analysis of the
farm accounts kept by farmers, they
find that as rule the farmer will
make more money by Strengthening
the weak points of his business than
by placing greater emphasis on its
strong points. The farmer has his
likes and dislikes, and when the
farm-management worker locates
the difficulties, his recommendations
often oppose the farmers establish
ed habits. The farmer may dislike
work with chickens or cows or some
other farm enterprise, yet the lack
of Just this work may limit his sue

by holding little water in the hol-
