Flies Cause Dairyman
Trouble During Summer

Flies probably cause the average
dairyman as much trouble and aggra-
walton as any other problem during
the summer months. If one were to
determine the number of flies that
could be Matched from just one pair
Of flies during the summer, the figures
would cover an entire page Of paper.
The first step in keeping down the
number of flies is to keep all of the
manure hauled out. A pile of barn.
yard manure is the favorite breeding
place for flies.
Darkening the stables will help to
make the dairy cows more comfort
able, as this will lessen the number
Of flies in the barns. Painting the
windows with alabastine blue is rec
commended, as this is easily washed
off.
Some men also adopt the practice
of hanging blanket or sack over the
top part Of the door. so that the cows
will rub a good many Of the flies off
their backs as they come into the
barns. All of these different prac-
tees, as well as the use of good fly
sprays. are to be recommended in Or
der to keep the loss and bother from
flies down to q minimum.

Sudan Grass Excellent
Emergency Cow Pasture

That sudan grass should make an
excellent emergency pasture for dairy
cows is the principal conclusion indi-
Gated thus far by five-year expert
ment on the carrying capacities of
three pasture crops at the South Da-
kota State College experiment station.
according to statement recently by
Thomas M. Olson. head Of the dairy
department. The investigation, now In
it's third year. is also attempting to
solve the cause Of bloat when cows
are pastured on alfalfa and sweet
clover, the two other pasture crops
included in the experiment.
A striking result Of pasturing sudan
grass came recently when seven cows
that had been fed on rich test ra-
ton for several weeks were turned
into the sudan pasture and immedi-
ately increased their production, Pro-
fessor Olson pointed out. The test ra-
ton on which the cows had been fed
consisted of mixture of several diff
ferent grains, plus beet pulp. silage.
and alfalfa. The only supplement to
the sudan grass now making up their
ration Is combination feed consist
ing Of so per cent each of oats and
corn by weight and fed according to
the individual production of each ami
NAL, the Jerseys and the Guernseys
getting one pound Of the mixture to
six pounds of milk produced, and the
Holsteins and Ayrshires one pound
to seven pounds Of milk.

BarroWs on Feed
Test Gain Most
Hogs Under Almost Every
Known System Were
Used in Trial.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Hog farmers in the future will do
well to give special attention to the
male hogs on their farms. Feeding
tests recently completed by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
show that barrows make better gains
than sows when all get the same kind
of feed and attention.
In eight years OF comparative feed
ing tests, 1858 hogs were studied. OF
this number 301S were barrows and
2,635 were sows. The barrows out
gained the sows by 5.43 per cent, ac-
cOrding to e. z. Russell, of the bu-
reau of animal industry, who was in
charge Of the tests.
Study On Hogs.
The study was made on hogs in @Qri-
Gus experiments conducted in PRIDE
tically all parts of the country, under
wide range Of climatic conditions
and during nearly every month in the
year. 1t included pure breds of all Of
the popular breeds used in this coun-
try, both bacon type and lard type, as
well as number of crossbreeds be-
tween some of these and grades of un-
known breeding. .
"HOgs under almost every known
system of management were used" ac-
cording to Mr.. Russell. 1.-THE results
included dry-lot feeding, also hogs on
pasture supplemented with limited ra-
tions. In some of the experiments a
limited ration of barley was fed, fol-
lowed by full feeding of corn; in
others this ration was reversed.
"In some of the experiments the
hogs were full fed from weaving to a
weight of about 200 pounds. In others
the hogs were started on full feed at
weights as high as $50 pounds and
carried along to 500 pounds or more.
Practically all known hog feeds in
Guiding peanuts and sOybeans, were
used and the resulting carcasses grad
ed in firmness all the way from oily
to hard.
"The hogs studied were from sows
ranging In ages from twelve months
to over seven years and by boars with
in the same age limits. Most of the
pigs had been narrowed in March,
April. May, September. and October,
although few were narrowed in every
other month of the year. Some were
from sows narrowing but one litter a
year, others from sowS narrowing two
litters."

Cleanliness Quite
Essential for Hens
Chickens Will Not Thrive if
Not Healthy.

Everybody feels proud of their
young chickens If they continue to
grow satisfactorily Chickens will not
grow at good rate of speed unless
they are healthy. When chickens get
droopy, only, partially feather out, and
become stunted, they are no longer a
source of pride, and probably will not
be source of profit
Clean chicks, clean ground, clean
houses, clean feed and clean watering
vessels are all essential in the produc-
ton Of healthy chickens. Clean chicks
are necessary to start the program.
Chicks that are from weak or diseased
stock will not have the vitality or
freedom from disease that is neces-
sary for best results.
1t is impossible to keep the best
chicks healthy unless they are raised
under clean conditions. Clean ground
means freedom from disease germs
and worm eggs. Clean houses, feeds
and watering utensils aid in prevent
ing the spread Of any diseases that
may have gained entrance into the
flock Of chicks, as well as providing
the sanitation that is necessary for
health.
If it is possible. move the young
pullets out on good range where they
will remain separated from the re-
mainder Of the flock during the sum-
mer months. This will not only allow
them to grow under better feed con-
ditions, but will also keep them away
from contamination of different dis
eases and parasites. Prevention, of
which cleanliness is the most impor-
tant factor, is greatly aided by the
use of a highest I've solution in
scrubbing.

Straw from soy beans is valuable as
roughage for wintering dry dairy cows
and beef cattle. 1t is also good
roughage for sheep.
The barn should be provided with
a system of ventilation, so there may
be an intake of fresh air without
causing a draft on the cows There
should be four square feet of window
surface per cow.

Sour Milk for Chicks

The chicks drink should always be
lukewarm. Water from the we'll is
too cold for baby chicks and may
cause loss. One of the easiest ways
to sour milk is to place bucket of
milk to be soured in the brooder house
in the evening. Put in cupful of
today's sour milk as starter, cover
the bucket and let sour overnight in
a corner of the brooder. The milk
will be of uniform sourness and tenn
perature il such procedure is fol-
lowed.

Seed Worn Cultivated
Soil in Early Spring

The best time for seeding worn, cul-
tivated land to grass is during the
late winter or early spring. Since the
land has been in corn or some other
cultivated crops, the ridges should
first be disked down. If the surface
is level and free from trash, no seed
bed preparation is necessary.
A thin coating Of manure should
be spread over the surface. If the
manure is spread by hand the grass
seed should be sown ahead of it, but
IL the manure spreader is used the
seed may be scattered over the ma
nure before it is spread.

Use for Hydrated Lime

Several beneficial functions in re-
ducing calyx injury to apples may be
performed by hydrated lime when
combined in excess amount with ar
senical sprays. The lime neutralizes
such acids as may be liberated by the
apple itself, as well as any water, SOL
uble arsenic acid or other forms of
soluble arsenic. 1t changes the sur
face tension Of water, making evap-
grafton more rapid if the fruit be-
comes wet.

TX7HEN it comes to voting on ques-
wv tion that may affect their chances
of reelection many Of our senators are
not very brave. Which explains the
long delay in acting on the appoint
ment Of Judge John j. Parker of
North Carolina as an associate justice
Of the Supreme court. The opposition
to Parker was found mainly in or
ganized labor and among the negroes,
because of two decisions handed down
by him some time ago. The senators
were much concerned and one of them
even asked President Hoover to with
draw the nomination. The President
fatty refused to do this, and finally
Senator Overman announced he would
try to get the judiciary committee to
take action on April q. 1t was said
most of the Southern senators would
vote for confirmation Of the appoint
ment, knowing that If Judge Parker
were rejected the vacancy would be
filled by some one from another Sec
ton of the country.

Gated national defense forces strong

can shores, when he pledged that dur
ing his administration the United
States would refrain from entangle-
ments in European diplomacy, and
when he praised the results of the
London naval conference.
Two days later the Daughters
adopted reports demanding the main
tenance of sufficient military and naval
equipment to meet any emergency
that may face the United States in the
future, and opposing the scrapping of
American ships until the major pow
ers sign limitation treaty. They
evinced dislike for the three-power
agreement concluded in London by
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
VXIHILE many Of the delegates to
w the London conference were scat
tering for the Easter holidays, the
drafting committee was hustling to
complete the proposed treaty in time
for the five nations to approve and
sign it at plenary session set for
April %. The chief difficulty that
arose in connection with the three
power agreement was the wording of
an escape" clause allowing any one
Of the three powers which have agreed
on a limitation in all categories Of
ships to exceed the fixed limits in case
any outside power builds so as to be-
come dangerous. This was satisfac-
torily adjusted.
To meet demands of the japanese,
Secretary of State Stimson and Sem
ator Reed entered into a. ''gentlemen's
agreement with Reijiro Wakatsuki,
head of the Japanese delegation, and
Admiral Takarabe that the United
States would not build during the
life Of this treaty the additional ton
mage Of light cruisers to which 1t is
entitled If 1t should decide not build
the last three Of the Is heavy cruisers

until the next arms conference, Japan

President Hoover has said that the
United States will save billion dol
lars as result Of the three-power
pact. Others estimate the saving in
naval construction at half that amount.
Great Britain will save $300,O00,OO.
and Japan $2OO,O0O,OO0. Information
in Washington is that the pacifist
groups will work for ratification Of
the treaty and then will campaign
against the appropriation of funds to
keep it in operation. The pact prob
ably will not be submitted to the SEN
ate until next December during the

MOST NEW HOMES
BUILT IN SUBURBS
Greatest Lag Shown This
Year Is Reported in
Larger Cities.

The suburbs and smaller cities have
borne the brunt of residential construc-
ton so far this year, and the larger
cities have shown the greatest lag, ac-
cording to figures prepared for the an
nual meeting of the United States
Chamber of Commerce at Washington
next week by Thomas S. Holden, vice
president of the F. w, Dodge Corpora
ton and a member of the executive
committee of the National Building
Survey Conference.
statement made public by Home
Owners Institute based on these figures,
shows that while all residential con-
Struction east of the Rockies declined
43 per cent for the first quarter of
1880, as compared with the correspond
ing period of 1929, nine out of ten
representative large cities showed de-
clines ranging from 81 per cent in
Detroit to 10 per cent in New orleans.
Cleveland, with decline of 35 per cent,
was the sole exception in this group.
These figures will be used at the
meeting of the chamber by Chairman
Fenton B. Turck, jr., of the National
Building Survey Conference, in connec-
ton with local studies of small mort
gage financing conditions, to indicate
where prudent new residential con-
struction should be urged nationally
and by local business and civic organ
izations.
In the modernization field, the United
States Chamber of Commerce will be
told, the ratio of repair and alterations
permits to the total for permits issued
has materially increased in the first
quarter, but on the basis Of a smaller
total volume.
Normally permits for alterations and
repairs represent between 10 and IL per
cent of total building permits. For the
first quarter of 1880 they represented 18
per cent. Were this ratio to be figured
on 1929 total construction volume, mod
ernization awards would come to we'll
over a billion dollars, but as no such
volume is anticipated this figure may
shrink materially by the end of the
year. However. with an extended Sum-
mer and late Fall drive for moderniza-
ton, this item may swell considerably
the national building bill for 1880.

the building site and assembled in the
course of two or three months by the
most expensive methods of hand labor
the world has ever seen. If the local
garage man were to buy the parts OF an
automobile and attempt to assemble
them in his own garage and thus supply
his customers. we should have a process
which compares with the home building
methods of today.
There is no good reason why, IL the
problem is ytudied, we cannot develop
new technique in home building.
More and more portions of buildings
can be fabricated in factories so that
a finished dwelling could be assembled
in few days, instead of few months.
There are those who object to such
an idea on the ground that we should
have monotonous and standardized
houses, but we have those now to
great extent. The automobile industry
probably makes more extensive use Of
mass production methods than any
other commodity, yet it is possible for
the buyer to choose between some six
or seven hundred models made by ap-
proximately so different companies.
There is a wide range of choice here
and the same could be true of fabri-
Gated dwellings. Moreover, fabricated
inexpensive homes need not foreclose
the possibility of individually designed
homes for those who can afford them"
