mixture for every 3% lbs. of milk pro¬ 
duced per cow per day. In case the pas¬ 
tures are short and dry, it would be to 
your advantage to feed either some moist 
beet pulp or perhaps some fodder crop, 
such as the second cutting of hay, or pos¬ 
sibly some green oats or green corn, as 
these crops become available. 
Improving Old Pasture; 
Disinfecting Henhouse 
1. What can I do with an old pasture 
in order to have a new seeding for pasture 
next Spring? What grasses or clover 
should I seed it with? 2. How can I 
disinfect chicken houses which have had 
chicks with white diarrhoea in them? 
Medina, N. Y. .m. g. m. 
1. Kentucky and Canadian blue grasses, 
Timothy, Red-top, meadow fescue and the 
clovers are the grasses used in seeding 
pastures in New York State, the first 
mentioned being most important. Meas¬ 
ures of improvement vary all the way 
from liming and light seeding in Fall or 
early Spring, with scratching of the sur¬ 
face with a drag, to plowing and re¬ 
seeding. Application to the State Col¬ 
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y., for 
latest bulletins upon pasture improvement 
should bring you more explicit directions. 
2. The floors and utensils used by in¬ 
fected flocks need most attention after 
chicks with white diarrhoea have been 
harbored. The utensils are easily cleaned 
by the use of boiling water, while floors 
may be disinfected by first removing all 
dirt that a hoe and broom can loosen, 
then by scrubbing with hot, soapy water 
in the case of brooders, and perhaps also 
in that of larger buildings. Walls may 
be whitewashed. After cleaning, interiors 
should be dried out by free admission of 
sunlight and air. It is more easy to 
clean floors and utensils than it is to dis¬ 
infect the dirt upon them which harbors 
disease germs, but such chemical disin¬ 
fectants may later be used, as compound 
solution of cresol, four ounces to the 
gallon of soft water, or even the more 
powerful but poisonous solution of cor¬ 
rosive sublimate, one ounce to eight gal¬ 
lons of water. Either of these substances 
may be purchased through any druggist. 
Hot water, soap, the scrub brush or 
broom, sunlight and air are efficient dis¬ 
infectants about poultry quarters, chem¬ 
ical ones being seldom needed except in 
case of serious infection by germs of 
some of the most virulent diseases.

field where we plowed that manure under 
I can hardly touch the top of the straw 
without standing on my toes. There has 
been a heavy June drop from the apple 
trees, but it looks like a fair crop yet. 
Nature seems to have done for us What 
human labor at high prices has done for 
many growers. The weeds are growing 
fast in that corn. Some of it has been 
cultivated three times and the cry is “still 
■they come.” Well, we shall attend to it 
all in time if the weather will only hold 
good. Our folks will have a picnic after 
supper up by the spring, and after dark 
we shall all drive to town and see the 
fireworks. And that will end the “Glori¬ 
ous Fourth.” H. w. c.
