Louis Citizen Eats Anything on the Table and Hae Gained Several PUN Necessary at Times to Have Cow or Bull on Ground to Perform Necessary Operations. For performing surgical operations, dehorning, ringing or castrating, It is often necessary or desirable to throw a bull and bold him on the ground. The accompanying sketch shows a very effective method to use In casting a cow or bull. It requires 35 or 40 feet of rope. With hornless animals the first loop will need to be around the neck instead of the horns, as Illustrated. The next step Is a half hitch Just back of the forelegs and another In front of the hind quarters. Pulling on the main rope to the rear and tow-arthe side on which It Is desired to have the animal lie will get results. Pregnant cofrs should not be so throw-n- .

It was referred to the agriculture committee. The bill Is similar to the act declared inoperative by the Supreme court except that its fundamental principle is based upon the power of con gress to regulate Interstate commerce Instead of the taxing power, which was the basis of the present law and which, the Supreme court held, could not be exercised In that respect. The bill, like the present law, provides for designation and regulation of "contract markets by the secretary of agriculture and for admission to grain asexchanges of framers' sociations, the latter a provision opposed vigorously by the established boards of trade.' The contract market" provision la designed to give the secretary of agrh culture power to deal with the question of grades that ina? be delivered on contracts, premiums and discounts, Inadequate elevator capacity and an? other conditions that may have similar Importance In relation to the prices and executions of contracts. The packer control law, Senator Capper said, was In part the model for the new bill to reach the grain exchanges. Similar to the original law, the new bill declares purely speculative grain contracts unlawful and against the public Interest. Violation of clauses of the bill would entail fines of $10,000 and one year's Imprisonment Fight Over River That Runs Backward VX7ISC0NSIN has been granted per- mission by the Supreme court to file an original bill against the state of Illinois and the sanitary district of Chlcago to determine whether Wisconsin or its citizens are being deprived of any rights. Wisconsin In its bill of complaint, contended that the level of Lake Michigan and other great lakes as well as their connecting waters, were being lowered by the drainage canal. The complaint also stated that the secretary of war had authorized the withdrawal of the water from Lake Michigan, whereas an act of congress was necessary to legalize the diversion. In the event that the court decides that the legal authority of the state of Illinois for the diversion of water Is ample the Wisconsin authorities ask that an injunction be Issued to restrict the diversion of 4,167 cubic feet per sec- ' trict from diverting more than 4,167 cubic feet of water a second. The amount now being diverted Is about 8,800 cubic feet. Under the federal ,urt Injunction the sanitary district was given a reasonable time to devise and complete ways and means of treating sewage other than by dilution. The state legislature last year authorized the building of numerous treatment plants. One of these, near Calumet, has been nearond. Trustees of the Chicago sanitary dis- ly .completed at a cost of approximately trict express the view that Wisconsin's $7,000,000. Others are well under way.

Policing the Air Will Have to Come VI OISE made by a commercial avia-to- r who Joined unbidden In the dedication ceremonies of the Lincoln Memorial has awakened a train of official reflection which may end in com- prehensive national legislation for policing the air. Indignant at the action of the Memorial day pilot, who drowned out a large portion of President Hardings address by circling low about the memorial, Secretary Weeks of the War department has written the President suggesting that congress be asked to enact a code of air rules of the road. Other government officials, Including senators and representatives, have had similar experiences, and the secretarys proposal found quick sympathy In many quarters. It Is possible that pending measures may be so amended as to put a stop to Indiscriminate sight-seein-g trips" over the beads of public gatherings. Army aviators long have been under orders to keep their planes away from crowds, both for the safety of those below and so that the roar of the motors may not Interrupt public functions. Last fall the navy got similar Instructions, on complaint by Secretary Weeks, after a navy plane had hovered over a crowd President Harding was addressing at York town, Va. Usually commercial fields also have been requested, as In the case of the Lincoln memorial exercises, to keep their machines at a distance, but the temptation of giving their paid passengers a special thrill has not always been resisted. The War department believes the offending pilot Is a reserve army officer. .Department officials say that not would be neceseven a court-martisary In these circumstances to taka away a reserve commission. al The Flag That Flew From Eiffel Tower souvenir of America's partlcl-- . patlon In the World war, President Harding has accepted for his d countrymen from Ambassador of France the American Flag which was displayed beside the French tricolor on the Eiffel Tower when news came of Americas entry Into the struggle. The historic flag also later displayed at the celebration of the Marne victories at the Trocadero Palace, Paris, September, 1018, was presented by the Ambassador on behalf of the Union of Large French Associations for National Growth. It was first displayed at a celebration of Americas entry Into the war, held by that organization, April 20, 1917, the same day on which It was unfurled from the Eiffel Tower. The Flag will be preserved In the National museum here. The ceremony, held In the East room of the White House, was attended by the Secretary of War, tieneral Pershing and high officials of the army, namy and marine corps.

The Alfalfa (Prepared b jr the United St&tee of Agriculture.) Weevil and Department Farmers In regions newly Infested by the alfalfa weevil will be Interested In knowing that anjinusually effective method of control has been worked out by the United States Department of Agriculture. Specialists of the department say that rarely has any method of Insect control been so thoroughly safeguarded against failure as alfalfa-weevspraying. It has been tested every season for seven years. The cost of the operation about $1 an acre Is trifling compared with the returns, and no farmer in the territory infnsted or threatened can afford to overlook it, the specialists say. There is no control measure, however, which can be applied advantageously this late In the season. Effective work must be delayed until next spring. Control by Poison Spray. Control is effective by spraying poison over the fields so that it will cover the growing parts on which the weevils mostly feed. Arsenate of lead and arsenite of zinc have been mostly used, but other arsenicals recommended for orchard spraying are thought to be about as good. There is practically no danger of burning the foliage of alfalfa, and therefore the range of suitable poisons is larger than in fruit-tre- e spraying. Arsenate of lead is said to be, everything considered, the best poison to use, principally because It sticks to the leaves more readily and costs less than most of the others. The poison is weighed or measured at the rate of two pounds of powder or four pounds of commercial paste for each 100 gallons of water, Is 6tlrred with a little water In a pall until It becomes a thin paste without lumps, Is diluted and strained Into the sprayer tank. Two pounds of laundry soap for each gallon should be added, In order to make the liquid stick to the leaves properly. The dry, powdered form of the poison is better than the paste. There Is no danger of stock being poisoned by hay cut from sprayed fields where the poison is applied at a rate of not greater than 100 gallons of spray mixture per acre. Simple Outfit Sufficient. The essentials of the spraying outfit are: A truck or other vehicle, a tank with an agitator to keep the poison from settling to the bottom, a pump, a pressure gauge, an engine and pumping jack, unless the pump is to be driven by hand, a strainer, a pipe for distributing the liquid from the pump, and as many nozzles as are required These by the capacity of the pump. essentiujs may all be contained la a barrel-pum- p outfit carried in a wagon. The pump must be capable of delivs of a gallon or more ering a minute and maintaining a pressure of at least 75 pounds. If the pressure Is less than that, the mist spray will not be fine enough to prevent the liquid from gathering In drops and running to the ground Instead of drying on the tops of the plants. The number of nozzles used should be sufficient to take up the capacity At the average walkof the pump. each nozzle should a of team, ing gait of a gallon a mindeliver ute. Therefore, a pump of capacity per minute will supply ten nozzles, each of which covers a strip two feet wide. By an arithmetical calculation of the cubical content of the pump cylinder ana the fnimber of strokes per minute, the capacity of the outfit can be determined. The spray should be applied at the rate of 100 gallons of spray mixture per acre. Nearly any kind of spraying outfit can be adopted for this purpose. However, modern orchard spray outfits are usually designed to give a comprehensively small flow and high pressure, and are less suitable for alfalfa spraying than the older pumps, with larger cylinders and longer strokes, designed for larger flow and lower pressure. The spraying outfit should be mounted on the wagon or other vehicle used so that the nozzles will be about two feet above the tops of the alfalfa barrels with Four plants. an engine and pump mounted on an hand-pumordinary wagon, or, for a outfit, an express wagon and fewer barrels constitute a satisfactory out il ' four-fifth- nine-gallo- n Jus-seran- - d nine-tent- ASA Pounds In Weight Gives Tanlae Full Credit FOR THROWING ANIMAL p Important to Mothers WorK of Larvae. A paddle, dasher, or a?me other form of agitator must be provided to keep the liquid stirred. A strainer of brass or bronze screen should be fitted to the opening through which the water enters the tank and another over the outlet leading to the pump. The parts of the pump in which close fitting Is required should be of brass, bronze, porcelain, or some other substance less rapidly corroded by the chemicals than Iron and steel. All commercial spray pumps are built in this way, but pumps which were in-- , tended for other purposes should be refitted when used for spraying. An engine-driveoutfit must have a relief valve near the pump, permitting the surplus flow to return to the fit. n The pump must have an chamber large enough to keep the flow steady and Insure even distribution of the poison. Even pressure, Indispensable for uniform spread of the poison, cannot be maintained without a pressure gauge. This gauge should be attached to the pressure chamber or near it and at a distance from relief-valv- e and' nozzles. The boom or pipe which carries the nozzles and supplies them with liquid from the pump is made of two-foinch galvanized iron pieces of one-hapipe joined by Ts, each of which affords an opening for the attachment of a nozzle. The boom is connected inch with the pump by a one-hapressure hose. The boom should be supported by a piece of timber, two by four, clamped or hinged to the truck with the boom stapled, bolted, or wired to it. Plain misty nozzles, without strainers or other complications, should be used. Spray in Warm Weather. The best time for spraying is at what the specialists call the turning point of weevil infestation- - from one to two weeks before the first crop U ready for cutting, when the young larvae become so numerous that they, completely destroy the growing tips. After that point Is reached the weevils, if left alone, consume the leaves. until nothing Is left but the If spraying Is done woody fibers. at thla time the crop recovers quickly. Spraying yearly in the spring sometimes entirely prevents damage, but it Is uncertain. On the other hand, plants sprayed after they were entirely stripped of their foliage have been able to recover and bloom, but this allows destruction to go too far and makes recovery too slow. Spraying at the turning point not only protects the first crop but confers an even larger benefit on the second ' crop, which sprouts and grows without delay, and no treatment of the stubble is necessary. Stubble spraying, after the cutting of the first crop, has been successfully done, but It requires getting Into the field immediately after cutting and a much larger quantity of liquid is required than if It were applied to the first crop. Stubble spraying, therefore, is advised only when earlier spraying has been impossible. Spraying should be done, If possible, at the beginning of a warm spell. The weevils do not feed so voraciously in cool weather. There are other control measures, but none of them promises much more unless applied before or immediately after the first cutting. One method Is to pasture the alfalfa field until most of the eggs and young larvae have been destroyed. Another is to use the alfalfa as a soiling crop, cutting It green two or three times during the season. These methods, however, must be practiced before the turning point of infestation, as after that time the weevils destroy the pants so completely that there Is not enough growth for either pasture or soiling. Another method Is to cultivate the field with a harrow or other Implement, Immediately after the first cutting, in such way as to cover the field with a dust mulch, thus exposing the entire surface of the field to the sun and killIn some Ining most of the weevils. stances. the second crop has been protected by dragging the stubble while It is still wet from Irrigation, with the land leveler or the clod breaker.

Most Important Item That Enters to Cost of Milk Production Analysis of Figures. Never be In too big a hurry to be careful. ar- In- (Prepared by the United States Department, of Agriculture.) How to feed his herd economically and profitably Is an Important thing for a dairyman to know. In all sections of the country where investigations have been carried on, the United States Department of Agriculture has found that feed is the most expensive Item that enters into the cost of milk production ; and Intelligent feeding, In either summer or winter, offers the biggest opportunity to reduce costs. The analysis of many figures by the 'department shows that In Vermont the winter costs of keeping a herd were made up of 63.1 per cent feed and bedding, 17.5 per cent labor and 19.4 per cent other costs. In summer, feed and bedding represented 41.6 per cent of the total expense, labor 26.7 per cent and other costs 31.7 per cent In the South the costs are distributed somewhat differently. Figures obtained in Louisiana show that In winter 56 per cent of the expense Is for feed and bedding, 22.4 per cent for labor and 21.6 per cent other costs. The summer costs In that region do not differ from the winter costs so much as they do In the North. The figures for summer lp Louisiana show that 50.5 per ceit of the total cost of milk is for feed and bedding, 26.2 per cent for labor and 23.3 per cent for other costs. Although It is advisable for a farmer to economize wherever he can wisely do so, these figures show that the dairyman who studies feeds and feeding has an excellent opportunity to Increase the profits of his daily herd. SOY BEANS FOR DAIRY COWS to Tost st Iowa Station Plant Furnishes Most Palatable Protein Feed. According Soy beans as a feed for dairy cattle have shown their value in replacing oil meal in the ration, according to a recent experiment conducted by the Iowa agricultural experiment station. Cracked soy beans, it was found, made d a palatable protein feed worth more than the same amonnt of one-thir- ollmeal. Two years experiments were conducted with the soy beans In replacing protein supplements, and the results show that dairy farmers can produce this supplement to advantage.
