Sn Sb Standard Oil Service THE Standard Oil Company Indiana is doing much to solve a problem of intense and vital interest to you. With its mammoth central refineries and its far-reaching distributing system —operating with machine-like precision —it is exerting a direct influence on the labor problems of the farmer. That the farmer is coming to a realization of the benefits of motorizing his equipment is shown by the fact that one tractor manufacturer reports the sale of 20,000 of his machines during the first three months of 1923 as compared with 8ft)00 of the same machines sold during the same period in 1922. This increase in the use of mechanical power in general farm practice means a distinct saving in time, and, eventually, will mean greater crops and greater general prosperity. While the efficient harnessing of petroleum with farming, and the production of food, is an achievement of signal importance, it is but one instance of how Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service dovetails with every other business. It dovetails with industry by furnishing specialized lubricants for special machinery. It promotes health by taking from petroleum those ingredients which are used medicinally. It makes it possible for the doctor to cover a much greater territory in pursuing his practice. It dovetails with the railroads through lubricating much of their intricate equipment, and makes night travel safe by reason of a dependable signal system. It meets the housewife by furnishing her a wax which safeguards her preserves, jellies, and condiments against spoilage. It reaches directly, or indirectly, every man in the Middle West at some point which is essential to his prosperity or happiness with a service which is occupying the entire time and attention of 27,000 loyal, efficient, hard-working men and women.

There are many attractions, a ( field ot fast horses, free acts, big exhibits of live stock, an art hall and everything which goes to make a county fair. During Sunday thousands of people visited the park and the stands did a thriving business until late at night. The road to the ’ park as well as the grounds are lighted and everything possible has been done for the convenience of the public. Plan to have a good time at the fair, day and night this week. DAIRY INFORMATION Purdue Bulletin Explains Loss in Flow of Milk in Summer (Prepared by the Division of Dairy Husbandry, Purdue) There are three factors that tend to reduce the flow of milk during the summer, hot weather, poor pasture and flies. The first, and to some extent the second, are beyond the control of the dairyman but the loss of the third can be greatly reduced if the proper steps are taken at the right time. Sanitation and the use of a good fly spray will greatly reduce the loss caused by flies. This loss is due partly to the direct loss of blood drawn from the animal by the insects. The great numbers that infest ,the her<\ dax-atid night gorge themselves with'large <tqantities of blood, liedjdes and annoyance caused during )Ae heat of the day when the herd seeks some shady place to find comfort, exerts no small influence on the daily milk flow. Flies may become so troublesome at certain seasons of the year that animals are driven frantic. This not only affects the milk flow but may even lead to a loss of flesh. There are several species that annoy the herd but the stable fly and horn fly are the most troublesome. The stable fly. as the name indicates, is most common around the stables and buildings but often follows the herd to the pasture. Although somewhat smaller than the ordinary house fly it is often mistaken for that species. The female deposits the eggs In loose, moist straw, cut weeds and other rubbish which is so often abundant around the barn yard. If such material is not allowed to accumulate, the trouble of this species can be greatly curtailed. The horn fly is considerably smaller than the stable fly. The horns are favorite resorts and when not extracting blood from the cow. these flies cluster in large numbers about the base of the horn. The horn fly deposits the eggs in fresh cow manure. The adult female of each species lays several hundred eggs at a time and may do so as many as twenty times during her life time. These eggs hatch and become adult flies in 33-36 days. A few flies early in the season may produce a vast number during the summer season. The removal of all unnecessary material around the yards, especially fresh horse manure is a very effective means of controlling the fly menace. The darker the stable can be kept during the heat of the day the better. White wash darkened with some coloring matter such as lamp black may be applied to the windows. Sacking hung from the top of the door keeps the stable dark while the cows are entering ami also serves to brush off a number at the same time. Some daries equip the windows and doors with screen. This is especially valu-

r- able when the practice of keeping the e herd Indoors during the heat of the day Is practiced. Dairymen nre coming more and e more to realize the value of the silo a for summer feeding. A good feed of y silage with the grain ratiqn fed during t the day prevents that all too often cut in milk flow during the summer. S Turning the herd to pasture during a the cooler part of the day allows ex- '• ercise and at the same time provides a enough feed to produce a good flow [. c< wilk. During fly time each herd should be d sprayed once or twice daily with some s spray mixture. No fly repellent has i- yet been devised which is satisfactory j as a permanent spray. But there are a number which greatly reduce the attacks of these insects. There are a e number of proprietary makes on the e market which are satisfactory but a s home-made preparation can be easily f prepared at less cost which is equally efficient. The following mixture is claimed to protect the cow for at ■ least one day, if the application is carefully made. Fish Oil 2 quarts Oil of Tar 1 quart i Crude Carbolic Acid .. 3-5 ounces. All the above materials are mixed and then thoroughly sprayed over the r animal. Apply lightly, otherwise injurious results may occur. SprayI ing may be done with a hand or buck- , et force pump in such away as to , provide a uniform coating ot mist over the animal. Particular attention should be given to wetting those parts f most affected by flies, but in no case f should any part of the animal be , drenched completely to the skin. The ( best time to make applications is just , after milking before the cows are turned to pasture. This spray mix- [ ture should be procurable from the I local drug store at a cost of SI.OO to . $1.25 per gallon. t More detailed information may be found in Extension Bulletin No. 105. I It may be obtained upon request by t writing the Department of Entonwlo- , gy. Purdue University, Lafayette,-'ind. ’ A coat of white wash applied to dairy stables improves the appearance and also adds to the cleanliness and . sanitation a good deal. This can be . done with little expense, if the mater- . ial is on hand, some rainy day. The following recipes give a good mixture for application. I The Government Whitewash is made as follows: Slack half a bushel of lime in boiling water, covering , to keep in the steam. Strain the ; liquid and add a peck of salt previously dissolved in warm water, three , pounds rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in white hot, one-half . pound of Spanish whiting, and one I pound glue dissolved by soaking in . cold water and then hung over a , slow fire in a glue pot. To this mixture add five gallons of hot water, s stir, well, and let stand for several , days covered from dust. It is best , applied hot. Ordinary whitewash is made as folI lows: Slack 10 pounds lime with 2 , gallons water. Allow to stand in pail , for 1 hour before using. . The above mixtures are best applied . by means of a spray pump but may . be put on by means of a brush. i —— , An association has been organized , in Steuben and LaGrange counties and l the required number of members have ! been secured in Deleware and Madison . counties as soon as a competent tester is available to start the work.
