SILO NECESSARY FOR DAIRY KEROSENE EMULSION RECIPE
Increase of 7^i Por Cent Mad# on Mis
souri Farm by Feeding Cows
on Si lags.
No man who is milking a herd of
a dozen or more cows can ever hope
to make maximum returns from bis
herd without a silo, according to K.
M Harmon, dairy extension specialist
for the Missouri College o f Agrlcul
ture. This statement was proved by
the Missouri Cow Testing associations
during the past year, as shown in the
following results:
Cows receiving silage produced an
average of 5,708 pounds o f milk, 260.8
pounds of fat and a profit above feed
cost o f 1108.60 per cow. Cows with
out silage averaged 5,180 pounds of
milk, 252.7 pounds of fat and a profit
o f $101.02 per cow. The difference
was 600 pounds of milk, 13.9 pounds
o f fat and $7.58 cents per cow in one
year.
This means an Increase o f 7V4 per
cent In profit due to the silo. The
average man would go a long way to
market his wheat for 7V4 per cent
more. It Is worth that much to build
a silo and we must have a kit more of
them before we will reach the economy
we should In butterfat production.

Effective Disinfectant for Use in
Poultry House Is Easy to Maks
and Also Inexpensive.
The kerosene emulsion which Is fre-
luently used to destroy mites may
-eadlly be converted Into a dlslnfect-
,nt, according to the United States De­
partment o f Agriculture. The emulsion
a made by shaving one-half pound laun-
lry soap Into one-half gallon soft water.
Boll the mixture until soap Is dissolved
ind then, after removing It to a safe
distance from the fire, stir Into It,
while hot, 2 gallons of kerosene. This
makes the stock mixture. When It Is
to be used as a louse killer, 1 quart o f
the emulsion Is mixed with 10 quarts
?t water. When It Is to be used as a
Mslnfectant. stir well and add 2 pints
>f crude carbolic acid or crude cresol.
The compound solution o f cresol Is
me o f the best disinfectants that can
5e purchased ready to use. It con­
tains 50 per cent o f cresol, and a pint
Df It in 10 quarts o f water makes the
right solution to apply to houses or
spray over the ground. A 5 per cent
solution o f carbolic acid (1 pint car­
bolic acid, 10 quarts water) Is about
equally efficacious.
