lili m IHK 4) ?i 'IMPORTANCE OF MILK HOUSE tDifficult to Properly Care for Dairy Products in Summer Without Suitable Building. During the hot weather it is almost Smpossible to care for dairy products on the farm without a suitable milk 'house. O. E. Reed of the Kansas Ag ricultural college offers the following: Milk must be produced under sani tary conditions, and to do this the milk ?house shauld be either separate from :the dairy barn or arranged in such a ,way that odors from the barn do not get to it. A 10 by 12-foot milk house is a good ;size for the average farm. It should be built with a eminent floor and have ia drain at the center to carry away ?the waste. The equipment should con sist of a refrigerating tank, 30 by 36 linches, inside measure. This will ac 'commodate four milk cans. There ;?hould also be a cooler, aerator, wash ?and separator. ' A windmill on the side nearest the ?refrigerating tank will pump cold wa ter from the well into one corner of 'A Model Dairy House Where Cleanli ness ls Paramount, the tank. The water circulates around ""the cans and flows out at one side through an overlow pipe. This over flow pipe leads i:ito a watering trough and the water is used for watering the stock Instead of being wasted. ARE YOUR COWS EFFICIENT? Milk Scales and Eabcock Tester Es sential in Conducting Successful Dairy-Discard Eoarders. Putting the efficiency test to cows with the milk scales and the Bab cock tester.is one of the essentials of conducting a successful ?airy. When feed is high in price a fainer cannot afford to have boarders in his dairy barn who eat up more in feed than -their milk yield is worth. The Bab cock test will s'iow these delinquent .cows in their true light, and the milk scales will put the clincher on the .argument. Testing cows will give some farmers a big surprise. Some time the cow that looks like the poor est creature in the lot is the best butterfat producer. Cow testing associations among ?dairymen afford the most economical use of the Babcock tester and the scale?. il DAIRY NOTES f Regularity in feeding pays. . * .

Excellent Protection Afforded to Bark From Sunburn and Eorers Keeps Rabbits Away. Whitewash is an excellent proteo ? tion to the bark from both sunburn j and borers. _ It is particularly valu I able for young trees, as after trees j reach a good size the branches gen j erally become sufficiently large and i the foliage sufficiently thick to shade j the bark and prevent the injury that ? j the hot sun would otherwise do. The best time to apply the white j wash is in the early spring, or before i the sun has become too hot and yet at I a time when the danger of heavy rains j washing off the lime is passed. It is i not well to delay too long or the sun j burn may occur in clear weather be I tween rains. There are dozens of whitewash reci I pes, all with merit, some more dur ! able than others, and a durable white j wash is generally to be desired. For 'fruit trees a whitewash can be made \ by the addition of tallow, which i& durable and also a protection against rabbits. Such a wash can be made with 30 pounds of lime, 4 pounds of tallow and 5 pounds of salt. The salt is dissolved in the water used in slaking the lime and the tallow added to the hot mixture, which Is thinned to the desired consistency before using. Spoiled fat or grease of any kind can be substituted for the tallow and the amount can be increased if de sired. If there is danger of attract ing animals by the salt, it can be left | out FRIENDS OF PLANT GROWERS "Lady-Bugs" Feed Upon Plant-Lice, | Scale insects and Other Pests Entitled to Protection. ; (By W. E. BRETTON.) The beetles commonly known as lady beetles, "ladybirds," "lady-bugs" or plant-louse beetles, are among the very best friends of the farmer or plant grower, because they f?ed in both larval and adult stages upon plant-lice, scale-insects, and the small larvae and eggs of other and larger noxious insects. Dr. S. A. Forbes ex amined the stomach contents of 391 specimens, and found that one-fourth j of their food was composed of plant lice; though they ate some vegetable] food, such as pollen and spores of fungi, a greater portion of their food) consisted of Insects. Though many persons are more or less familiar with lady-bugs, some are not acquainted with their habits or life histories, and do not, therefore, mp Ths ''Lady-Bug" Serves as an Effective Check on the Apple Aphis and Many Other injurious Insects. recognize them as friends. Thus many of these helpful little insects are de stroyed, when they should be carefully protected. One of the most conspicuous ex amples in history of controlling a pest by means of lady-beetles occurred in California some twenty-five years ago. An Australian insect known as the fluted or cottony cushion scale ap peared in California on orange trees and spread so rapidly over the state that the extensive orange growing in dustry was threatened. By request, Mr. Albert Koebele was appointed agent of the United States to attend the Melbourne exposition, and while in Australia paid special attention to searching for the insect enemies of the fluted scale. A lady beetle was found feeding upon the scale and specimens -were collected, and five separate lots (altogether about 500 specimens) were brought from Aus tralia to California and placed upon the scale-infested trees. The lady beetles multiplied and their progeny were soon transported to each orange growing section. In a few years the cottony cushion scale had been brought under complete control by the Australian lady-beetle; it has never since done much damage on the Pa cific coast, and the orange industry still flourishes. In a less striking manner and on a smaller scale our native lady-beetles are continually demonstrating their ability to clean np shrubs, trees and even orchards which were severely at tacked by plant lice. There are about 250 different kinds of lady-beetles in this country. Oil From Grape Seed. A soap manufacturer in Argentina has been securing for his use oil from grape seed ; thus far only in an experi mental way. But he hopes to open a plant in 1915 with a capacity of 600,000 pounds grape seed oil a year, enlarging this as occasion warrants. He esti mates that the inferior grade adapted to the manufacture of soap would cost a shade less than four cents a pound, while a refined article suitable for table use can be put on the market at 5.8 cents.
