Rat PROBING Is
Neatly Described
Principles Call for Use of
Well Made Concrete and
Good Steel.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. l-WNU Service.
Modern building principles and rat
prOofing go hand in hand, says new
Farmers Bulletin on "Rat PROBING
Buildings and Premises" just issued
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. These principles call for
the use Of well-made concrete and
steel, and other indestructible land
nOncombustible materials that are too
much for even the sharpest of rodent
incisors. They include also fire stop
ping in double walls and floors and
the elimination of all dead spaces and
dark corners where the rat can hide.
The sanitary features provide for n.y.
gienic storage of food, and the rat
cannot live without something to eat.
Rat Proof All Buildings.
All new buildings should be made
rat proof, says the bulletin. Cities
in growing numbers have added rat
proofing clauses to their building or
dinances with such good effect that
others are sure to follow their lead.
Builders should therefore compare the
cost of rat proofing during cOnstruc-
ton with the probable cost later, in
case local laws should require that all
buildings be made rat proof.
The cost of rat proofing all the con-
structiOn on many American farms,
the bulletin says. would amount to less
than the loss occasioned by rats on
the same farms in single year. The
pamphlet gives details and illustrates
methods for rat proofing all kinds of
farm structures, including barns, corn
cribs, granaries, and poultry houses.
1t also considers the rat proofing of
city buildings. such as warehouses and
markets, and suggests city-wide eff
forts toward the suppression of the
"a. pest. 1t includes a model rat
proofing ordinance and an ordinance
regulating the collection and disposal
of garbage. prepared by the United
States public health service.
Permanent Rat Control.
Throughout the bulletin it is empha-
SlLCu tltdL IllC ICluONdl VI tliC IoI
food and shelter offers practical
means of permanent rat control. "The
number of rats on premises and the
extent of their destructiveness are
usually in direct proportion to the
food available and to the shelter af-
f6rded. Rat proofing in the broadcast
sense embraces not only the exclusion
Of rats from buildings of all types
but also the elimination Of their hid
ing and nesting places and the star
walton of the animals. Through open
doors and in other ways, rats may fire.
quently gain access to structures that
are otherwise rat proof, but they cam
not persist there unless they find safe
retreats and food. When rat proofing
becomes the regular practice, the rat
problem will have been largely
solved"

Most Important to Feed
Milk Producing Rations

The fallacy of keeping feed costs
down with no regard for the amount
of milk the cows produce is well shown
by the records of an Illinois dairy herd
improvement association. The lowest
producing herd in this association had
an average yearly feed cost of $50
cOw-the highest herd $40 cow. The
latter herd produced 375 pounds Of
butterfat and made an income over the
cost of feed of $12O per cow. The
herd with the low feed cost of 500
a head produced only 1S5 pounds Of
butterfat for the year at profit over
feed cost of $50 per COW. The feed
bill of the higher producing herd was
more than double the feed cost for the
lower producers, yet the profit over
feed cost for these higher producers
was likewise more than double that Of
the cows of lower production.
For greatest profit from any dairy
herd, be it only two cows or twenty
cows, the important thing is to feed
good milk-making rations. and to feed
each COW as much of this ration as she
will eat for greatest return. To learn
how much feed a cow needs for most
profitable milk production, daily rec
ord is needed of the amounts of milk
produced and feed consumed by each
cow

A DOCTORS
ADVICE for
Stubborn Bowels

'sDrink at least six glasses of wa
ter ALPHABETICALLY before meals.
Eat bulkier foods, such as vege-
tables, fruits and coarse breads.
Use mild laxative as needed"
That is DR.. Caldwell's advice to
people with stubborn bowels. He
specialized on the bowels; treated
thousands for constipation and its
ills. The prescription he used over
and over in his practice has be-
come the worlds most popular
laxative! "Syrup Pepsin," as it is
now called, was tested by more
than AZ years of practice.
Today you can get DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin at any drug
store in America 1t is always the
same; made exactly according to
the original prescription, from lax
ative herbs, pure pepsin and other
valuable ingredients Nothing in IL
to harm even baby. 1t does not
grippe, sicken or cause any discom-
fort. But it moves the bowels;
it gets rid of all the souring waste
which clogs the system; makes you
bilious, headachy, gassy, bloated,
weak, half-sick. A doctor should
know what is best for the bowels.
Syrup Pepsin is a famous doctors
choice of safe, pleasant, effective
laxative for men, women, older
folks, babies and children.

Buy Good Land

1t pays to buy gooL land. The per.
centage of foreclosures is seven times
as great on farms with tillable land
valued at less than S55 an acre as 1t
is on farms with titled land valued
at $195 or more an acre. This does not
mean that the way to avoid fOreclos-
ures is to place high value on your
farm. But 1t does mean that poor
land tends to be overvalued in rela-
ton to what it will produce. 1t is
cheaper to buy fertility in the form
of good soil than to buy it in bags.

ONION-FLAVORED

To Prevent Keep Cows Off

People who "know their onions" pre-
fer them separate from milk, coffee.

be made into a good grade Of butter.
To avoid heavy loss, the creamery
must either refuse to buy it or cut
the price paid at least 10 cents per
pound butterfat.

Milk will lose part of the onion fla

the flavor stays with the fat in the
cream. Stir the cream frequently and
do not keep lids on the cans at all.

Prevent Communicating
Milk With Bad FlavOrs

Taking cows off of garlic or onion
infested pastures five hours before
milking will decrease chances of con-
terminating the milk with this most
unpleasant odor. according to DR.. A.
81. Ruehe, University of Illinois. 1t is
better to inspect the pastures early in
the spring and fence off the onion or
garlic pastures.
The onion flavor in milk is not the
only bad flavor to be guarded against
in the spring. AS soon as the weather
is warm enough to quit wearing an
overcoat it is time to begin cooling the
milk as soon as it is drawn and thus
prevent other bad odors in milk.

Improving Quality of
All Dairy Products

The problem of raising the general
level Of quality of milk and cream at
the point of production, the farm, is
one that must be given more con-
sideration. The objects of quality i'm
provement are to increase consump-
ton and provide the consumer with
clean, wholesome and nutritious dairy
products. Statistics on the per capita
consumption of milk show that the
southern states are low in their per
capita consumption of milk; they
show that these states are low in
their per capita consumption of all
kinds of dairy products, as compared
with other sections of the country.

Abortion Control

Abortion takes a large toll of the
dairy industry and it is regrettable
that we know so little about control
measures. Vaccines of one kind and
another have been sold and some of
them seem to be fairly effective in
some herds and of little effect in 9th
ers. One or two facts we are sure of
that the spread of the disease Is
largely through germs expelled in the
droppings and carried to the feed Civ
en- to healthy cows or heifers. Prob
ably the contagion is carried to the
feed on the feet of the herdsman.

Bad Milk Flavors

Certain weeds, especially wild
onicns, garlic, and leeks impart to
milk, cream and butter, flavors which
are not desired, such as most intense
onion flavor, which is very difficult to
remove from these products. These
flavors usually appear in milk and
cream in spring and fall, due to the
cows having access to pastures which
are not sufficiently advanced, or have
dried up too much to satisfy the cows
causing them to feed on anything
green they can find.

When cold winds blow and frequent
night trips are necessary to visit the
brooder house, narrowing or Landing
pens, yard lights with flexible methods
of switch control are greatly appre-
ciated. These are available to the
man with the farm light plant as well
as those who receive electric power
from high lines. Dome refectOrs may
be mounted on poles or the yards may
be lit from lamps in angle reflectors
conveniently placed on farm buildings.
These should be wired with three-way

Need for Lime

While lime occasionally does more
harm than good on farm land, it is
needed wherever there is acid soil. On
slightly acid soils lime may be I'M
necessary except in starting alfalfa
and sweet clover. Clay land is rem
edied by ground limestone, as the lat
ter sweetens the soil and liberates the
potash. Sweet clover and alfalfa are
pretty sure to be helped by lime but
unless the farmer is certain he should
have his soil tested before making an
application.

Why Cows Kick

Cows often kick because they are
being hurt by the mixers finger nails
or because the teats are cracked or
sore from various causes. Sometimes
a cow kicks just because she appar-
emily likes to do it. In that case the
best solution is to tie the legs togeth-
er or use one of the patented devices
to prevent kicking. Milking machines
provide another solution, for cows sell

ITALIAN CHAMPION LIGHTHOUSE BOXER
 DEFEATS BR|T|sHER

CHICAGO, April 25, (P)-Con- zoneri knocked out Berg in the third round of a scheduled 1O- round bout.
 The end came as the fighters mixed it in neutral corner in the third round when suddenly, Conzoneri stepped back and sent the Britisher sprawling with a sharp right-hook to the jaw.
 Berg tried to get up at the count of seven but his legs were unable to support him and he slid to the canvas beside the ropes.
 Conzoneri not only defended his own lightweight world champion ship title, but also annexed Berg's title of junor lightweight cham pion as both titles were at stake.
 Conzoneri weighed in at 132 and Berg at 134A. The Britisher put up 9 game fight but the Ital- ian took every round by a wide margin.
