Experiments la nutrition during the last few years have resulted in th hi.. covery of new principles in nutrition, many or wmcn are Important in the proper feeding of dairy cattle, says the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been found that an adequate diet must contain certain mln.rai ingredients, and also certain organic compounds whose exact chemical nature la still .unknown but which have been called vitamins. It la quite possible to make up a diet from ordinary feedatoffs which will contain sufficient protein and energy, and yet be deficient In either minerals or vitamins, or both. There Is every reason for believing that the whole subject of feeding for the maintenance of high milk yields can be very much simplified as compared with the systems of feeding now practiced, and also great economies introduced Into feeding practices, by a systematic study of the vitamin and mineral contents of dairy feeds and of the relation of these to milk production. It seems probable, also, that the mineral and vitamin contents of dairy feeds may be found to have an Important bearing on the breeding vigor, or reproductive ability,' of dairy cattle. These studies are under way and results of considerable practical Importance have been obtained, some of which show that dairy cows suffer from a shortage of lime unless they are fed much larger amounts of legume hay than la customary In many parts of the country, and that there is a vltamine in fresh, green feed which will probably promote the assimilation of lime by milking animals. It has also been shown that there are differences In the values of protein for feeding dairy ate midsummer goddess of the looms thought out a new enchantment when she Inspired weavers to make ribbons.

TUE Powdered Hellebore Is Good to Kill Fly Larvae One of tbe most common breeding places of the common house fly Is the manure pile, which It Is not always possible to spread on the land frequently enough to bring about destruction of the contained larvae. The addition of chemicals to manure for the purpose of destroying these larvae has Its limitation, since some substances used for this purpose destroy the fertilizer value of the manure, others are so poisonous that there is danger of poisoning farm animals and poultry, while others are harmful to vegetation when applied to the land After a careful study of a large num ber of chemicals, th United States De partment of Agriculture has found that pound in powdered hellebore, one-haten gallons of water, will prevent the development of fly larvae In eight bushels of manure and possesses none menof the objectionable feature tioned above. Borax Is also a satis factory chemical for use In manure which la not applied too thickly to the land. Too much borax In the soil will lnterefere with plant growth when used. Clean premises, closed garbage cans, screened manure pits and outdoor fly trap will also pay in fly time. R. F.
