A quantity can be made up nt odd times, from old baling wire, and kept on bund ready for use. The sketches Will explain Its construction and use. The loop should be large enough to contain the largest stein, without s of an binding about plaints because of the disparity between their figures on the quantity of milk shipped and those of the dealers on the quantity received. In order to locate the cause of complaint by studying the actual loss between the country shipping point and the city plant the United States Department of Agriculture made on lnvestlgat'on on the Baltimore market. Records kept on more than 1,100 cans showed that the loss between the country station and the city plant was less than 1 per cent. The loss on trains, probably due to spilling, was only 0.19 per cent ; and from the city railroad platform to the plant it was 0.55 per cent. However, it was found that when the milk was weighed In the city plant there was a shortage of 2.56 per cent on the amount sh!pied according to can measure In the country. Of tills shortage, 074 per cent was due to actual losses, while 1.82 per cent was the difference between can measure and weight. This is easily accounted for by the fact that cans become dented and battered, which decreases inch across Inside Is a good genera) size. Two forms of hooks are shown, their bolding capacity.

It would seem that there would he less trouble between producers and dealers if the milk were weighed at both enda of the line. PROVIDE PLENTY OF WATER Cews Must Have Abundant Supply in Summer and Winter for Profitable Milk Production. Successful dairy fanners find that It pays to provide plenty of good, clean, cool water for milk cows. Eighty-seveper cent of milk la was of a ter, as Is uearly cows body. Experimental data show that the amount of water required by cows Is In direct proportion to the amount of milk produced. In the summer, the average cow will .require nearly three pounds of water for every pound of milk she produces. In one experiment a cow' giving 27 pounds of milk drank 77 pounds of water dally. The same cow drank leas than half as much when giving no milk. In all cases, It Is decidedly good practice to provide an abundance of clean, fresh water, cool In the summer and ' warm in the winter. . n three-fourth- KEEP MILK AND CREAM COOL Product Will Soon Sour on Warm Spring Days Unless Promptly Placed In Tank.

Alive After Parasites Were Still 113 Days In Abandoned Building. (Prepared by ths United States Department of Agriculture.) It tnkps several months to starve the mites in an Infested chicken house after the poultry has been removed. In test made by the United States Department of Agriculture some mites were still alive after 113 days in an abandoned hen house. The nests Indicated, too, that the mites live longer In damp locations than r. very dry conditions, which accounts, In part at least, for the Idea that mites are worse In damp, badly ventilated houses. The only way to get rid of these pests Is to break up their hiding places. Dust baths will not control them. Roosts should be taken down, and all unnecessary boards removed. In badly infested houses the mites are to he found everywhere, including the roof. For small coops a hand atomizer will do for applying Insecticides such as sprays, hut for larger houses a bucket pump, knapsack sprayer, or barrel pump is desirable. A rather coarse spray should be applied from all angles, aud driven thoroughly Into all the cracks. The floor also should bo treated, as ninny mites fall to the floor when roosts are being removed. Commercial carbollneuui, which cot,, e anlists essentially of a thracene oil, has proved very effective against mites. The killing power of this substance, which Is derived from coal tar, lasts for several months, and mites which may be inclined to come In from other buildings are repelled for a long time.

It has been found that one spray tng with either of these materials often will completely eradicate the mites, but ordinarily it is advisable to niuke a second application In a mouth, and in some cimes a third treatment Is needed. Poultry should be kept out of the bouses until the material Is well dried Into the wood. It is advisable to spray or paint chicken coops a few days before putting broods of young chicks Into them.

It Five Poultry Factors There are five major factors in profitable poultry production, says X. F. Chapman, poultry specialist nt University farm breeding, feeding, housing, management and care. "Those are the essentials; combined they will put the poultry business on a practical business basis, hn says.

There were 12,424,000 breeding sows mu farms April 1, the United States Department of Agriculture estimates. This is 1,237,000 animals more than on the same date In 1921 and represents an Increase of 11.1 per cent. The large corn crop last year and the unusually large farm stocks ol corn are given as the explanation of the large Increase in breeding sows this spring. Corn was worth more as pork than as corn, and hogs were , needed to eat the corn. The number of hogs Is quickly responsive to the general economic situation, the department points out. In April 1918, the Humber of breeding sows wus 9.3 per cent more limn on the same date in 1917, due to high hog price's as a result of war conditions. The figures on April, 1920, show a decline of 10 per cent for the year ended on that date. The reason for this was that the price of corn was relatively too hleh to encourage the fowling of i - strong partition to separate the big animals from the small ones In a mixed carload of live stock frequently saves the shipper from a serious loss on the consignment, say specialists of the bureau of markets. United States Department of Agriculture. The smaller animals, such as hogs, lambs, goats 'and sheep are always In danger of Injury from the larger animals, and this Is especially true when the car Is overcrowded. Crippled animals mean a loss to the slilpier, for they bring prices considerably below the regular market price for sound stock. Dead animals bring still less in the case of hogs only about 50 to 75 cents per hundred pounds for grease. There is always the danger, too, of the small stock becoming bruised, through being jostled and kicked by the larger ones. Bruises make a carcass less valuable, as the meat Inspectors In the slaughterhouses cut out all bruised spots Meat thus mutilated Is sold as cheaper grades, the depreciation depending ' upon how much cutting was necessary. The buyers In the stock yards know this, of course, and, consequently, pay less for animals that Goata AVOID CROWDING gul-lon- A Partitions In Stock Caro Separating Largo Animals From 8mall Onea la Good Idea. Moisture. SPRAY TO KILL GRAPE PESTS Aa Soon Made for It Is Just as essential to cultivate fruit trees ns any other growing crop. Sometimes the trees are plowed In tho spring and left the rest of the year without any further care, so far as cultivation is concerned. An exception Is where a cultivated crop la growing between the trees, says D. C. extension Mooring, horticulturist, Oklahoma A. and M. college. Whlla trees are young, a cultivated row crop may be grown between the trees so long ss it does not compete with the trees for the same moisture and plant food. Therefore, each year aa the trees grow, move the crop further away from the trees and when the trees are well Into bearing cease growing a spring crop among the trees at all. A soil that Is well cultivated will (1) catch much more moisture, Including rains nnd snows; (2) conserve the moisture; (3) keep down grass and weeds; (4) aerate the soil, that la, permit of free air circulation, which la necessary ta the life and development of the nmts. The first cultivation in the spring should be four or five Inches deep with whutever uvalluble tool Is at hand. Be careful not to skin the trees. In case your trees are growing In the yard, where It Is not practical to use horse power in cultivation, a spade, shovel or hoe may be used. Where a hand tool Is used, loosen the soil under the tree aud at least a foot or two beyond the extent of the limbs. The cultivation should begliR In March or early April and continue until midsummer under normal conditions, and during the dry seuson thq cultivation should continue until the lust of the summer.
