Cattle Orub Losses May
Be Reduced By Treatment
One insect, the cattle grub or
ox warble, causes losses of from
SO to 100 million dollars an
nnnllv In the United States, ac
cording to the department of ag
riculture, This loss Is repre
sented by trimming away grubby
meat and perforated hides. These
losses may be greatly reduced if
every cattle owner would treat
his stock wun roienone av me
right period.
The grubs are now starting to
emerge from the backs of cattle
that were infested last summer.
In the absence of treatment the
ornhfi hnre holes In the lime
along the back of cattle and drop
to the ground. The gruD men
tranafnrms to a fly which soon
deposits eggs on the hair near
the ankle joint 01 came, m un
tsar thev are known as heel
fiv Th ran hatches into a mln
nie larva which burrows into
th tissues lust under the skin
It feeds on the cattle body tissue
and gradually works upward to
the back where 11 emerges some
months later. ,
These erubs may be killed
when they start to emerge if ro-
tenone is applied ai ju-oay
tervals for two or three months,
There are three methods 01 ap
ulication.
Firnt. dust bv brushing Into
the back surface a powder of one
part of five per cent rotenone
mixed with two parts 01 line
powder such as flour or talcum
powder. Estimate three ounces
ner nnlmal.
Sppnnrt. mrav the backs thor
oughly with a liquid spray made
by mixing 7V4 pounds of five
per cent rotenone in 100 gallons
. . t Ann
Or water, use pressure ui tuu
pounds per square inch, number
four or five disc with nozzle 10
to 12 Inches from back.
Third, dip in a dipping vat
filled with rotenone liquid made
hv uslnff 7 to 10 Dounds of ro
tenone, 10 pounds of wettablc
sulphur and 100 gallons of wat
er. Stock should be held in the
vat for two minutes.

Time To Spray Berries
Per Leaf, Cane Spot Control
Bovsenberries and .youngber-
rlej should be sprayed now for
the control of leaf and cane spot,
When once established this dis
ease becomes worse and worse
each year and if allowed to go
unchecked, It will reduce the
crop' very materially and what
berries are produced will be
emaller In size. By spraying now
with eight gallons of liquid lime
sulphur to 100 gallons, any starts
this disease may have made will
be burned out. For small spray
ers, use one quart of liquid lime
sulphur or one pound of dry lime
sulphur in three gallons of water.
This same spray can be applied
to rose bushes and grape vines
for the control of mildew. Mil
dew over-winters on the twigs
and It Is this over-wintering
from which starts new Infec
tions In the spring. A lime sul
phur spray, if thoroughly applied
will burn out these over-wintering
Infections and this will make
a good start toward control of
the troubles during the summer.

Finishing Floors Made Easy
With Penetrating Seal
Do vou like to rcflnlsh floors?
If vou don't you will welcome
the penetrating floor seals.
These seals are lairiy new
with us. China has used them
for years. The penetrating seals
on the market are made of tung,
inseed or soybean oil mixed
with driers and sealers. With
his seal you don t have a sur
face coat to scratch or wear
badly, If you use the seal right.
On new floors a good sanding
s the first 9tep. First, sand with
No. 2 sandpaper; second, sand
with No. 1 sandpaper; and third,
and with No. uu sandpaper.
ween the newly sanded floor.
Next, wipe with cloth dipped In
turpentine. The turpentine cloth
takes off the fine dust from
sanding and primes the surface
for the scaler. Then remove the
stains and you are ready for the
linishing Job. For a natural color
use the seal as It comes from
the can. Apply with a clean
mop. A lamb's wool mop is best,
but an ordlnnry mop will do.
whatever you use, clean it thor
oughly afterward or burn It, for
it is a fire hazard if not cleaned.
Don't cover too much surface
at a time, as you need to wipe
off the excess. You can walk on
It with leather soled shoes. Rub
ber leaves a mark. For rubbing
off the excess seal you use a
clean, old rag without lint. With
penetrating seal wait one hour,
lay down clenn, plain paper and
you can walk on it. In from 12
to 24 hours buff the floor with
No. 00 steel wool, with the grain
to remove excess dried seal.
For close grained wood like
maple you usually need two
coats. Open grained wood may
need a third coat. Additional
coats are applied the same as the
first. If your floors get extra
wear it is a good idea to wax
over the seal finish.
Penetrating seal can be used

yards. There are many kinds of
floor finishes.
