Cows Health Indicated
by Coloring of Her Eye

When buying cows or heifers or
any kind of animal for that matter
it is we'll to look carefully at the
eyes. Many man has gone pains
takingly over an animals udder and
bought when a single look at the eyes
would have warned him Of trouble to
come. The normal eye is full and
bright. The secretion of fluids about
the eye should be normal. If an eye
is swimming in water. the animal may
be going down with a cold and, when
chronic, may be Indicative Of tuber-
culosis. Look out for pink eye" a
very contagious disease that soon
spreads to all members Of the herd
into which the infected animal may. be
introduced. The affected eye is pearl
gray in color. A dull eye may indi-
cate that the COW is anemic or tenn
porarily off feed. This is just another
point to remember when buying new
members for the heard.

Destroy Cabbage Worms
With Arsenate Poison

If there are white butterflies hover
ing about the cabbage patch now, there
will soon be a crop. Of those detest-
able little cabbage worms on the
plants If the owner Of the patch ex-
poets to have some good cabbage heads
after a while, he should be ready for
the worms with a lead arsenate spray
or dust. He can mix the spray at the
rate of two pounds to fifty gallons or
two tablespoonful to gallon of wa
ter. Making a soap emulsion with
laundry soap and the water before
adding the arsenate will make the
spray stick to the plants better. Lead
arsenate may also be busted on the
young plants, using one part by weight
of the powdered form to five parts by
weight of hydrated lime or fiouI The
mixture may be placed in a gunny
sack shaken over the plants early In
the morning after heavy dew.
This material can be used with alb
solute safety. The outer leaves con-
tain most of the poison and these are
removed before the cabbage is used.
Chemical analysis has shown that
person would have to eat in one meal
25 heads of cabbage busted or sprayed
in the ordinary way before feeling any
serious effects Of the poison

Feeding Cow According
to Production Favored

The low prices of dairy products
makes it more than ever necessary for
dairymen to feed and manage their
herd with care in order to find profit
able market for feeds. states e. A.
Cannon, Purdue university.
The first step in meeting the present
situation is to feed properly. Each
COW should have balanced ration,
based on her individual production.
The roughages available will deter
mine the grain mixtures to be fed in
order to balance the ration. Where
legume roughages are available, a
grain mixture containing 10 per cent
digestible crude protein will be found
satisfactory. Where legume roughages
and silage are fed, the grain mixture
should contain IA per cent digestible
crude protein. With mixed roughages
the per cent should be increased to Is.
Where roughages such as timothy hay,
straw and corn fodder are fed the
grain mixture should contain IS to %
per cent digestible crude protein.

Allow Ample Space for
Moisture Among Trees

In planting currants and gooseber-
ries, it is quite common to find these
set over against the fence or grass
growing border of the garden. In
some few instances this plan is all
right; but where moisture is scarce
these plants should be set in rows
where they can be cultivated on both
sides, having a space of nearly 10 feet
between any plant and other crops.
If planting apple trees at the same
time-and setting these rows 80 feet
or more apart, as they should be to do
the best in later years-one row OF
the small fruits may be planted mid
way between each two rows Of apple
trees. These will have passed their
best years by the time that the apple
trees have reached size that requires
all the space between for drawing on
for moisture, so they may be dug out.

FARM NOTES

Single stalls protect the cows and
help make them comfortable.
A honey bee must visit $1,000 clover
blossoms to make pound Of honey.
If poison ivy is troublesome, start
an early campaign against 1t with
calcium chlorate.
Pasturing the farm woodlot is a
poor practice. Trees and live stock
do not mix. The trees are likely to
suffer more than the stock.
Damping off of vegetable seedlings
can. be controlled by treating seed or
soil with chemical solutions. Ask
your county agent about this.
No planting is ever quite complete
that is what makes gardening such
an alluring adventure. What modern
touches will you add to your grounds
this year?
Fattening cattle which get good leg
ume hay-clover, alfalfa or soy bean
and corn will make excellent gains for
three or four months without the adj
dition of such feeds as cottOnseed meal
or linseed oil meal.
In general, shallow cultivation of
corn Is best. !. does less damage to
the corn roots which grow close to the
surface. Deep cultivation may cut
and tear out the roots, stunting the
growth Of the plants.

Crop Rotations
Aid to Alfalfa,
Progressive Farmers Plan to
Let Good Stand Re-
main Six Years.

Crop rotations which permit good
stand of alfalfa to remain longer than
two years are being developed by pro-
gressive farmers of the. state, accord
ing to T. g.. Stewart, extension agron-
omist at the Colorado Agricultural
college.
Many are planning rotations in
which alfalfa is allowed to remain for
perhaps five or six years. II planned
according to some systems, five or
six years Of alfalfa, together with
four or five other crops makes a 10
or IL year rotation. Such system
provides more alfalfa than is desired
and too little of cash and feed crops,
Stewart points out.
Plan for 160-Acre Farm.
A simpler plan for a l60-acre farm
having a 10-acre farmstead, would in
clude so acres of alfalfa, allowed to
remain five or six years if satisfac-
tory hay yields are obtained. The re-
manning 100 acres can be divided into
four fields of 25 acres each and ro-
tated with corn, followed by sugar
beets, and then barley as nurse crop
for red clover. A seed crop of red
clover and a cutting of hay can thus
be secured from the fourth field each
year after the rotation is under way.
A 25-acre field Of alfalfa can be
brought into the rotation as occasion
demands by seeding the barley field to
alfalfa instead of red clover. The %
acre strip of old alfalfa is then fall
plowed. The red clover crop cannot
be included during the two years re-
quired to change the location of the
SO acres of alfalfa, but the original
plan can DE revived as soon as the
change is completed.
Potatoes, vine crops or small grain
may be substituted for all or part
of the corn acreage in some districts,
Stewart suggests. Sweet clover may
be desired instead of red clover and
the red clover may be cut for hay.
At lower attitudes in Colorado, red
clover will make two seed crops in a
single year and has proved to be a
satisfactory cash crop.
Field for Each Crop.
"A well-balanced rotation will al
ways provide a good field for each
crop that is grown, furnish proper
balance between cash and feed crops,
and maintain desirable balance be-
tween cultivated and non-cultivated
crops" Stewart says.

Mr.. Stimson declared the administra-
tion was not departing from American
traditions, adding that 1.-THE United
States would continue to be jealous in
its concern for the lives of its ma
tionals wherever they may be found. "
He characterized the current policy
toward Latin-America as one of re-
moving sore spots which have injured
good will and American trade.
Mf. Stimson expressed confidence
that the Anglo-French negotiations
would eventually be successfully con-
cluded, expressing the opinion that a
great stimulus had been given the
prospects for success of the league
conference en- general disarmament to
be held next February.
Cultivation of good will between ma
lions was described by him as 1.-THE
great business of diplomacy"

Profitable utilization Of milk by
products is now more important than
usual to the farmer and the dairy in
dustry, and the bureau of dairy in

Agriculture. is trying to find profit
able uses for skimmilk, says O. E.
Reed, chief of the bureau.

buttermilk, and whey-skimmil be-
ing by far the most important-there

food protein, a large part of which
is not being utilized to the best posi-
Bile advantage" says Mr.. Reed. Got
tage cheese, which is made from skim
milk and which Is largely protein, is,
when properly made and merchan-
died, one Of the most profitable out
let's available to the dairy products
plant for utilizing the skimmilk. In
the past many plants have lacked a
standard method for making a uni
form, high-grade cottage cheese. The
bureau of dairy industry has, by expe-
rimental work both in the laboratory
and on commercial scale, demon
strated method which has consist
emily produced excellent results.
"This method produces what is
called the low-acid rennet-type of cot
tage cheese. When this type is made
properly it has rich, creamy appear
ance, low acidity. good keeping quail
tiles, and distinctive curd particles,
and is product attractive to the con-
sumner.

Mulching With Paper Is
Favored for Moisture

The paper mulch. as it is called, is
heavy grade of paper, quite similar
to that put on roofs. The seed, Of
course, must be planted in the ground
and must not be covered with the pa.
per, or it will never come up. The
use of the paper is between the rows
of plants, where it keeps the weeds
from coming up, and prevents the
ground from being excessively dried
out. The common way is to plant the
seed as usual and then spread this
paper between the rows, so as not to
cover the plants, and weight 1t down
with pieces of stone or earth, SO that
he wind will not move it.

not only to Trance but to Europe and
all the world. It means that for the

ONE of the worlds greatest sci
~ entists, Prof. Albert A. Michel
son, formerly of the University Of
Chicago, passed away in Pasadena,
Calf, after long illness and was
laid at rest in Altadena. He was the
recipient of all the honors the world
of science could bestow, not the least
of which was the Nobel prize for his
achievement in measuring the speed
of light, and it has been said that his
discoveries and inventions added bill
lions to the wealth of the world; but
withal he was exceedingly modest and
unassuming and always declared he
carried on his great works In physics
because they amused and interested
him. Doctor Nicholson was native
of Poland but was brought to the
United States when a babe and was
educated In San Francisco and the
naval academy at Annapolis. Two
years after his graduation he went
back to the academy as an instructor.
and it was then he began the expert

committee. voiced the opposition to
the plan. He called for lower rates
rather than higher carrying charges
and said one reason why trucks were
moving so much freight today was be-
cause of "high rail rates."
II cannot see how the railroads can
expect to increase their revenues by
increasing rates." he said. "Some ten
years ago an increase Of 40 per cent
was allowed the railroads and this
brought the rates up to the highest
point ever reached. They have been
revised downward by the interstate
commerce commission in 5000 out Of
5000 cases brought.
To-day the railroads complain Of a
loss of business and lay good deal
of that to competition by trucks and
to some extent airplanes. Undoubted-
ly they would increase their revenues
by raising the rates provided they
could carry the same amount Of ton
mage. but it is perfectly obvious that
one reason why trucks are moving so
much freight is because of the high
rail rates. Consequently If these rates
were increased there would be an in
evitable decrease in tonnage"

his monetary stores. It is the dyeing
and cleaning industry of Chicago,
which has been a fruitful field for
racketeers, that has done the defying.
and in its bold stand it is backed up
by the law enforcing agencies of the

tute that he would do so for IS per
cent of it's annual receipts in member
ship dues, which would be about $780,
600. For this he promised to keep
prices up, to police the industry and
to bring into line any recalcitrant
members. A committee from the IN
st,tute met Capone in his hotel head
quarters in Chicago and he repeated
his offer. reducing his demands to 30
per cent but declaring If his offer were
not accepted he would take over the
industry anyhow. The institute. how
ever, happens to have as its chair
man DIR. Benjamin NJ. Squires, honest
and nervy. who had practically freed
the industry from the racketeers. He
told Capone no gangster associations
would be tolerated, and States At
torney Swanson promised to support
him to the limit in this stand.
Capone's efforts to take over the
cleaning and dyeing industry were re-
garded by Assistant States Attorney

ton of the reverses suffered by the
gang in recent months.
