It Will Pay You TO WAIT FOR MY CALL BEFORE YOU BUY FLY SPRAY FOR THE COMING SEASON Watkins Fly Spray goes further, because you use less. Farmers and dairymen prefer Watkins Fly Spray, because it kins flies off the stock, leaves stock clean and comfortable, goes further than other sprays and will not taint milk or reduce the flow. Many dairymen report that they have to buy only half as "’any gallons of Watkins Fly Spray to get the same results. Its money in your pocket when you buy Watkins Fly Spray. Wait For Watkins —It Pays!

I are generally considered to be | slightly better hot weather feed than corn. Experiences of most horsemen i seem to indicate that good pasture for work horses is highly desirable. Grass serves as an excellent regu lator. and while horses which are pastured at night sweat a little more freely than those solely on dry feed, they are as capable of doing as much ordinary work as those kept on dry feed. Horses, too, are much more comfortable out in the pasture during the night, in the morning when the horses are brought in they should be fed ■a regular grain ration, but usually very little hay is needed. In fact, ! if pasture is good and' horses eat j a good deal of grass at night, they j may be better off witii no hay at all in the morning. Remove Male Birds From Breeding Flock "Regardless of what disposition is made of the male birds, they I should be removed from the breed- ■ ing flocks as soon as the breeding | season is over," says O. A. Barton of the North Dakota Agricultural Colleg poultry department. "Infertile eggs properly cared for will bring the highest prices on the summer egg market," he explains.. "if the males have no further use in the breeding program they should be sold. If they are to be used the following year, they should be kept apart from the hens. Provide them with comfortI able quarters and feed them a bal- ' anted ration." o -■ Tennessee Farmers Face Feed Shortage Tennessee, with the exception of a few favored spots, is in the midst of one of the worst droughts on ' record, particularly from the standpoint of pasture and feed for livestock. states L. A. Richardson, U-T Extension livestock specialist. With pastures dried up and hay aud small grain crops cut fifty to seventy-five percent, dairymen as well as other livestock producers are particularly hard hit. The loss to farmers generally thus far in the season is estimated at approximately $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 . with the total mounting each day without soaking rains.

CHECK METHODS OF STERILIZING Proper Sterilization Methods Necessary In Herds Milk producers who find their bacterial count going up during the summer months will do well to check sterilizing methods, ac- ; 'cording to a study involving over! I a hundred dairy farms in Grafton county, N. H„ just published by ' the New Hampshire Experiment Station. The report, "Maintenance of Grade A Milk" (Bull. 291), finds that lack of adequate sterilization was responsible for loss of prem- ! iums on 38 per cent of the farms | having high counts. Poor cooling , '. was to blame in 20 per cent of the I leases; gargety milk in 21 per cent; ; | and labor problems in 13 per cent. ' following a close check of methods on these farms by specialists, trouble spots from improper ster- i ilizing were reduced by more than half. The lack of a sufficient a- ' mount of boiling water and too j ‘ hasty processing were common err- • 1 ors. In the cooling process the chief difficulty was that the milk was not cooled below 50 degrees F. 1 soon after milking. ', Very little correlation was found I between the dairy scores made by I the milk inspector for the Boston | ' Board of Health and the bacteria 1 ’•counts of the same Grade A pro-1 ducers. When the Grade A producers were compared with Grade B proj ducers, the most important differences were found in the milking f practices, the washing and sterilt izing of equipment, the amount of i j ice used, and the time used in . i sterilizing. The extra costs for the , . i Grade A production were not im- ! ’lportant. As a class the Grade Ai men looked after the details regul- ! f ■ arly, morning and evening, to in- ; } i sure milk °F high quality. The j stuffy was made by E. 11. Kinear 5 ! and H. C. Moore. i Refrigeration Cost Can Be Reduced ) ' The cost of running the household refrigerator can often be re- ' duced by observing a few cau- | tions, says W. C. Krueger of the New Jersey Extension Service who is teaching a course in rural electrification at the University of Tennessee this summer. I The location is quite important. I It should not be set in direct suuI light and never near a stove or I watpr heater. Household refrigeriators depend on air movement for cooling and one should therefore avoid location in a wall recess or [closet. Frost on the coils or cooling box retards the obsorption of heat. Defrosting at regular intervals will increase operating efficiency. During damp weather defrosting is necessary oftener. Each time the door of a refrigerator is opened cold air spills out, much as the grain out of a bin. The frequency with which the door is opened is therefore of more importance than the length of time I it is left open. Hot foods should be I allowed to cool before placing them Ilin the refrigerator. This helps maI terially to save current. Mr. Krueg- | er stated.

During the months of June, July and August government agents, who have exclusive control of the sealing industry, will take about 60,000 skins.

Fann Flocks’ Fleece Should Pay For Keep [ • 11 11 With ordinary feed and wool I prices, the wool clip should about' ! pay for the cost of maintaining the \ | farm flock of sheep, according to 1 Geo. J. Baker, extension animal husbandman at the North Dakota Agricultural College. Whether it will do that depends upon the relative prices of wool and feeds and also upon the care and businessl 1 management used in maintaining ! the flock. ! One way to receive the best I prices for the wool clip is to keep the flock in a good healthy, thrif Ity condition thruout the entire ' year. Such care produces fleeces of high value. If the sheep are all 1 owed to run around stacks of [ straw or hay or to feed racks that , [let the chaff fall down on their I necks and backs, the value of the ’ fleeces will be greatly reduced. ‘ 'Keep the fleeces free from foreign | matter and in a healthy condition. ! 'and the returns from the wool will about pay for the keep of the ' flock. o GOOD PASTURES AID TO SWINE All Classes Os Swine Benefit Greatly From Use Os Pastures i .., . - -... j AU classes of swine—breeding 1 stock, growing pigs, and fattening pigs—are greatly benefited through the use of pastures. A more thrifty and vigorous condition is maintained, and less concentrates are required for maintenance, growth and fattening, states M. H. Muldrow. Extension animal husband- . I man. University of Orkansas Coll!ege of Agriculture. When grains are high and there is a need for more extensive use lOf lands, the utilization of pastures and forage crops is an importI ant economic factor in the production of swine. Young fresh growth of plants are high in prote' and mineral matter, both of special importance for breeding stock and growing pigs. Alfalfa and the clovers are superior in this respect, though recent investigational work at the Experiment Station of the University of Arkansas College of Agriculture indicates young Sudan grass has high value in this respect. Besides a saving in the use I of high priced protein feeds to bal ance the grains, there is also a saving in the amount of grains required to produce lot) pounds of gain. • Pastures should not, however, be . relied upon to furnish all the feed for hogs. For growing pigs, a grain ' ration of around 2 pounds per 100 ■ pounds live weight daily will be i found the most economical. The ■ acreage required for pasturing is small, and plots of one-half to one . acre each arc desirable so that rotation of grazing and grazing Io ’ capacity may be done. In this way ’. fresh forage of best quality is al . ways available. s Forage crops, such as soybeans, , cowpeas, and peanuts, used for j hogging down after seed is formed, are very desirable in producing cheap pork, Mr. Muldrow said. They are best used with concen-

trates. Experimental results show i that the amount of grain in addi- i lion to the forage crops required t to produce 100 pounds i SHOULII REMOVE WATER SPROUTS Re in oval Os Water Sprouts Major Portion Os Pruning Trees The removal of water sprouts constitutes a major portion of the work of pruning apple trees. The most economical method of remov- ■ ing these water sprouts is to snap them off by hand during the latter i half of June or very early in July, suggests C. W. Ellenwood, of the . Department of Horticulture at the Ohio Experiment Station. These sprouts can be removed at this season of the year without the aid 1 of shears. Au agile workman will remove the water sitrouts in this manner 1 in about half the time required to cut them off by shears during the regular pruning operations. Less , skilled labor is required for prun- j ing. and. with a few instructions, boys of high school age will do as much of this type of pruning in a , day as an experienced primer. The removal of this succulent ; growth early in the season redue- ; es the feeding area for aphis dur- ; ing the late summer and also mak- , es harvesting easier. If the sprouts i are not removed until the wood , hardens it is necessary to use light pruning shears to prevent tearing ; the bark. The necessity of using i shears also makes the operation j more expensive. o ♦ — ♦ | Latest News Os 1-H Activities In Adams County | Jolly Workers The Jolly Workers of the Berne 4-11 Club met at tne school building on May 26.
