Newspaper Page TextI The Influence of Feed. Linseed meal bus a tendency to make a sqft butter, provided the meal Is fed In large amounts. If fed In only me dium amounts, the butter fats are nor mal. It Is a valuable mllk-stlmulatlng food and can be rsed to prevent the formation of excessively hard fats In winter. The only disadvantage to the general use Is the price. Half or three quarters of a pound of linseed or oil meal In a ration per day will exert h very favorable Influence upon the quail y of the butter. Corn meal, when fed In large amounts with coarse fodders, has o tendency to produce a firm butter. When mixed with other grains, a bet ter quality of butter Is produced than If the corn were fed alone. Gluten meal, a by-product obtained In the manufacture of corn starch and glu cose, produces a softer butter than corn meal. The gluten. It Is to be observed, contains more of the vital nutrient, protein. Professor Harry Snyder, Unl U'lsily of Miiiiirauiu. Odd In We-ither Forepfinllnsr. People have learned by experience to make allowance for error In the pre dictions of the Weather Bureau.- but Prof. Schuster thinks that the allow ances should be olllclally stated. As tronomers, It appears, are In the hnbit of giving the value of the "probable error" when publishing their observa tions. But, although meteorology lends Itself more, readily than any other science to the evolution of deviations from the mean result, the weather fore casters have not adopted the custom of stating the probable error. Prof. Schuster looks forward to the time when weather forecasts will be accom panied by a statement of the odds that the prediction will be fulfilled. Then, I perhaps, we slinll read in the weather column not simply, "rain to-morrow," but "3 to 1" or "0 to 1 for rain to-morrow." ' Keeping Gate from Sngrsrtna;. Most farm gates are heavy, and af ter a little time they sng. When they get this way It takes a strong man to open and shut one. Here Is a remedy.

A million robins were killed In Louis lana during the winter of 1907-8, the offenders being men and boys who shot them for food. While they are pro totted bb song birds In Northern States, It Is a common Southern practice to shoot then for the table, and In some States the hunters kill them in great numbers at tbelr roosting plnces. government expert suggests that th eastward movement of the boll weevil has been facilitated by the killing of the robins. If Hint Is shown to be so. the cotton growers will not receive much sympathy from the members of the Audubou societies. Leslie's Week iy. Traiianlnntlnir Trrea. In. Revue ITnlverselle, according to another foreign contemporary, there Ib a practical article of general Interest on transplanting plants In full' foliage at night The result" of some experl mcnta by Rounult would make uniieces sary the customary transplanting of do clduous trees In the fall or winter. He hns found that trees may be trans planted In full follnge In May or June, with little or no Injury, providing the process is carried on at night. This baa been demonstrated to the cntlr satisfaction of some of the most prom inent horticulturists of France. Brewer? Clock Feed, Dried brewers' grains rank close to bran In feeding value, containing little more protein and fnt, but not quite so much carbohydrates. It Is claimed that In 100 pounds of this feed there are 10.7 pounds of protein, 30. pounds of carbohydrates and 5.1 pounds -of fat Malt sprouts and dried brew ere' grains are valuable cow feeds, es pecially the latter. Sprouts are rich est In protein1, but not much relished by cows and should be fed only In lim ited quantities. Wet brewers' grains re apt to injure the quality of the milk. The wi.dom of the Bee. We marvel at what we call the wli ' dom of the hive bee, yet there Is on thing she never learns from experience, "'HT?? I ,tbe Atlnnt'C' I and hat Is that she is storing up honey I for the use of man. She could not learn this, because such knowledge is . , ., nnt nwiMflflrv tn hp nnrn wall kA nn . Neither does she ever know when she ' has enough to carry her through the Inter. This knowledge, again, Is not Important. Gather and store honey as long as there Is any to be had Is her motto, and in that rule she Is safe. Population and Food. The statistician in the Department f Agriculture of the United States es timates that In 1931 the population of the country will be 130,000,000. To sup ply the requirements of this number of people will necessitate the production 700,000.000 bushels of wheat, 1,250,- 000,0(10 bushels of oats, 3,450,000.000 bushels of corn, 100,000,000 tons of hay; tin cotton, tobacco, fruits nd vpttn' bios in nrnnnrrlnn Tlila will nival tate bringing under cultivation an addl- ! tional 150.000.000 acres of innii mid it i s estimated that we have only 108,000,- 000 acres available for cultivation. Inxect with Springboard Nose. Among the curious Insects of the Malay Peninsula Is one called the Inn- tern fly, which Is remarkable for Its sudden leaps, made without the aid of Its wings. It was only after the first specimens of this queer Insect were carried to London for examination, that It was discovered that a curious projec tion on the front of Its head, a kind of nose with a crease in It, was the leaping organ. When bent back under the abdomen and suddenly released it sent the Insect flying. A Good Whitewash. Here Is a well recommended white wash : For 10 gallons use 25 pounds of common lime slaked with boiling water; pounds of clean wood ashes ; 10 pounds of melted beef tallow; 2 pounds of common salt and one-half pound of glue, dissolved. Add any dry mineral paint to color, such as burnt umber, yellow ochre or mineral red. Mix all while hot and appply while warm; keeping it well stirred. The Sheep Pen. As a rule there is very little mois ture In the sheep pen from the ani mals themselves. Sheepmen say that by heavy bedding, particularly at the beginning of the season, the straw will absorb all the urine from the sheep without there being any softness or rotting of the straw, and the pens are often not cleaned more than once In a season without Injury to the stock. Spraying- Frolt Treea. All fruit trees should be sprayer) while dormant, with lime, sulphur and Rait, as n preventive of San Jose scale, to destroy the fungi.

Manure Is simply materials that have been softened and decomposed (digest ed) within the body of an animal. To npply such raw materials as bran and linseed meal directly to the soil would be of no advantage, notwithstanding that they are excellent fertilizers, their value being Increased by feeding to stock.
