Questions relating to the quantity of spray residue on fruit at harvest time are being" studied at the Yakima, Wash., field station. Tests of a large series of baits for moth's in the orchard and in packing' sheds are also being made. An apple ferment has been found to he the best bait material of those tried, though a ferment of molasses and yeast is also good. None of the' essential oils tested shows much promise. At the Sligo, Md., Jabratory the feeding habits of the codling-mot- h larvae are being studied, especially those just hatched. The development of insecticides other than arsenicals is being attempted. 'in BE GENEBOUS WITH GOOD DAIRY COWS Many owners of dairy cattle fail the good cow sufficient feed above that required for carrying on GiveTigSome Protein ' to'Balance Com Ration . Many farmers' have more trouble 1b successfully growing fall pigs than they do- with spring pigs. According to the. New Jersey State College of .Agriculture, this Is generally due either to parasites or to certain, deficiencies in the ration. A large percentage of the winter ration generally, consists of corn, and this feed supplies the nutrients needed for fattening, but must be balanced by some protein feed If proper gains are to .be made. If skimmiik or buttermilk is available it Is unexcelled as a hog feed to' supply the necessary protein to balance the corn. If neither of these Is to be had, a mixture consisting of two parts of tankage, one part of linseed oil meal, and one part of alfalfa meal is gaol, advises W.' C. Skelley, assistant animal husbandman at the college. This mixture has given excellent results in the Middle West. Tt not only meets the protein requirement, but the alfalfa meal supplies a vitamin which is necessary for growth. to give Encourage Drinking her bodily functions, says the Unit-- , ed States Department of Agriculture. The highly specialized dairy cow returns in the form of milk practically all the digestible nutrients in the feed given her 'except those for body maintenance. Nearly all highly specialized milk producers lose weight in the 'early part of the lactation period, but .they 'normally regain it toward the end of the milking period.. The dairyman can (veil afford to feed such cows liberally, since they will return the feed in the form of milk when they again freshen. having access to water at will, produced 5 per cent more than when watered once a day. This result was obtained from average cows on the federal dairy farm, Beltsvllle, Maryland. The higher the production, the greater the benefit of frequent water ing. Cows require 80 per cent more wa ter In hot than In cold weather. The use of large quantities of beets reduces the amount of water required. In cold weather cows prefer water that has been warmed and will drink more of It.
