Dry Skim Milk for Calf
Is Found Satisfactory

Sellers of whole milk are always In.
terested N methods of feeding calves
for herd requirements. The Ohio sta.
ton reports recently completed
feeding trial with calves in which dry
skim milk was fed literally together
with other feeds.
Four lots of colves were fed as
follows. Lot received whole milk
for five months; Lot received whole
milk for q week and a bali. then
gradually changed to skim milk which
was fed until the end of the fifth
month; Lot 3 was fed exactly like
Lot 2 except that reconstructed dry
skim milk was used In place Of skim
milk: Lot 4 received whole milk for
week and a half, was then changed
TO reconstructed dry skim milk fed
until the end of the sixth week when
a grain mixture containing high pro-
portion OF dry skim milk WAS started
This grain mixture was fed until the
calves were five months old.
The results indicate that satisfactory
growth and economical gains may be
had from feeding-l.s with Lot 4.

BE COMPARATIVELY SMALL

as low as 100000 bushels,
Last year the carryover totaled U.s.
100000 bushels while the ten year
average runs between 100000 and
14,0O0,O 900 bushels These figures are ac-
cording to statement by Henry W.

We have sold direct to the orient
more than 100000 bushels of wheat

while at the same time Pacific coast

Mr. Collins.
We are working on some direct

TELLS HOW TO CONQUER
MOTHS THAT DAMAGE
FURNITURE, CLOTHING
Expert Gives Number of Valuable
Suggestions Regarding These Pests.

BOHEMIAN, May ga path Of de-
struction follows in the wake of the
little buff colored millers which are
seen in so many homes, unless the
housewife is continually fighting them,
says Miss Nora Hulbush, home man
agement specialist att Montana State
College
These destructive pests are moth mil
lers and most housewives are familiar
with them. Their life cycle, through the
destructive stages is not SO well known
but is such that serious destruction
may be minimized by cleanliness. Sun
shine, brushing and beating Of infested
garments or rugs are the most popular
methods Of control
The miller stage is the least danger
Gus but serious danger starts when the
eggs are laid. These eggs develop into
the worms or larvae which cause de-
struction by feeding on garments or
rugs which contain hair, fur, wool or
feathers. Any garment containing any
one of these articles is susceptible to
infestation and there is no known treat
ment which will make them absolutely
immune from attack.
Exposing the garments to the hot
sun will kill the eggs and cause the
larvae or worms to spin down from the
garment Frequent brushing, especially
in seams, pockets and crevices will
crush many Of the eggs and dislodge
the worms
Where it is possible to do SO, moth
infested clothes closets can be cleared
of the pests by fumigating with an
ethylene dichloride carbontetrachlor-
ide mixture. This fumigant is non-in-
flammable, non-explosive and not dan
gerous to human life in small quaint
ties. A house that is generally infested
should be funigated as whole ac-
cordinr to Miss Hulbush.
Blankets, winter coats and other
wool clothing will be protected by
wrapping in firm wrapping paper or
several thicknesses Of newspapers.
Suits and coats may be protected by
enclosing them in heavy paper bags
Flaked nephthaline or dichloricide
among the folds Of bundles is further
means of protection.
Cedar chests which are tight will
protect against moths provided the
clothes are not infested when placed
in the chest

lair into international prominence and
directed censure upon one of the out
standing heroes in the American military
forces
With a record in the Marine Corps that
is nothing short of marvellous, and which
has raised him from a lowly buck private
to the rank of major general, with the
outstanding achievement of being the
only man to win the Congressional Medal
Of Honor twice, General Butler has for
several years been a stormy petrol and
has been much before the eye of the pub
lie, not always in manner that can be
considered desirable by the service he
represents.
There is no doubt that in his Phladel-
phia speech in which he made remarks
about Mussolini, he had in mind the
statesman and not the personal individ-
ual. and therein he erred. He also erred
in forgetting that he is recognized pub
lie servant of the United States govern
ment and that whatever he might say
would be construed as representing the
opinion of the government
The Italian premier rightfully resent
ed his portrayal as a ruthless machine
which cared not jot about human life.
We may not agree with Mussolini's way
of doing things, but none can deny that
ne has the welfare of the Italian people,
collectively and Individually, uppermost
in his mind at all times. We may con-
slider him theatrical, but he has accom-
plished wonders for Italy and his sim
cerlty is not to be challenged.
Insofar as relations between the Unit
ed States and Italy are concerned, the
incident is closed with the formal apollo
gy of the secretary of state.

will draw anything more than repri-
mand, if he is found guilty. His record
will stand him in good stead before any
tribunal.
Aside from its international aspect,
the incident is important only because it
stresses the foolishness of saying anything
about person merely upon another par
tvs say so. This is dangerous for the
private individual. For public charac-
ter it is nothing short of dynamite.
