Added to Water |t Makes Excellent Solution for Spraying Houses or Premises* » The best time to have calves dropped Is delmtuhle. Some farmers prefer to have them dropped In late February, la March, or early In April, while others prefer September or October. This question is decided by the farm condi tions, taking Into consideration feed supply, pasturage, equipment and labor. When calves are dropped In the spring they require less close attention and labor during the first winter and less pusture during the first summer, since cows and culves run together, while the cows may he wintered more cheap ly by using a greater quantity of coarse roughage. However, If calves are born In the fall, the cows are In better condition at calving time; they give more milk for a longer period ; the culves make better use of the grass during their first summer; they escape files and heat while small, and may be weaned Just before calving time. Fall calves should not be weaned until they are put on grass In the spring. No mat ter what system Is used, all the calves should be dropped within a period of 60 days to give as much uniformity as possible to the calf crop.

The kerosene emulsion which is frequently used to destroy mites may readily be converted into a disinfec tant, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The emulsion is made by shaving one-halt pound hurd laundry soap Into one-half gallon soft water. Boll the mixture until soap Is dissolved and then, ufter » ‘■ ■ m - - t ;Y.

When It is to be used as louse killer, 1 quart o f the emulsion Is mixed with 10 quarts of water. When It Is to be used as a disinfectant, stir well and add 2 pints of crude carbolic acid or crude ere sol. The compound solution o f cresol is one of the best disinfectants that can be purchased ready to use. It contains 50 per cent of cresol nnd a pint of It In 10 quarts of 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 carbolic acid, 10 quarts water) Is about equally efficacious. « “As members of the Cedar Grove cow-testing association for the past three and one-half yeurs we have ob tained some profitable results," writes the owner of a Wisconsin farm to a field agent of the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agri culture. “ When we started, our herd averaged 11,829 pounds of milk and 410.2 pounds of butter fat, wh(le last year our average was 13,737 pounds of ndlk and 502.2 pounds of butter fat.

T o grant the application, the com mission announced in Its decision, would amount to a desecration of graves on land which Is admitted by all parties to be definitely located graveyards and would be contrary to “ good order and propriety.” A t the hearing considerable opposition devel oped, not only by relatives of dead persons whose bodies are burled In these graveyards, but by d(l. compa nies whose holdings are adjacent to these graveyards. Anticipating adverse action on the application, Kerstetter filed a sup plemental application with the com mission to drill a well 170 feet from the line represented as the Hancock cemetery.

In the opinion of Judge Hassell, as set forth In his recommendation to the commission, no person has a vest ed right to drill an oil well In a grave yard, aud “ assuming that the tract Is In fact a graveyard. In my opinion the commission should use to the full est Its power to prevent drilling with in 150 feet of a boundary line for the purpose of protecting a graveyard against such an Invasion."
