Tills bulletin, entitled "Care of the " Milking. Machine," gives directions for making: and nsing about a half dozen of these solutions andv also discusses other important points on the care'of •milking machines; One of the common solutions used Is . calcium hydrochlorite made by mixing 12 "ounc es * of fresh chloride of lime ^ with a gallon, of fresh cold water, ffhis should be d<>ne in a 2-pa Hon covered • ^rock, by first adding Just enough waiter (<t the chloride of Time to make a p^te^ Th!s shoiild be stirred well and • the resf of the watet; abided. The mixture should be allowed to stand over night in a w«l place. A clear green- . lshrcolored . liquid,, which will appear above the precipitated lime, is the part to be used. This liquid should... be poured off carefully, siphoned off. or filtered through a fine muslin or strainer cloth. For use, one quart should be mixed with 20 gallons of water. : This home-made solution,1' says the bulletin, is Just as effective as the commercial hypochlorite solutions and chloramine powdefll and costs very moch less. Pinto Beans Substitute • for Cottonseed Meal v By feeding locally grown pinto beans Jfi. place of cottonseed meal in his grain ration for dairy cow^ M. G. James, Parker (Colo.) dairyman, obtained good results. Only 6 to 7 per cent of the ration, consisted of split beans vCTffen he first started feeding them. He gradually increased the amount of beans a^ the cows became accustomed to theqi, to 20 per cent by weightj according to a , "•report by A.\ II. Tedmon.i Arapahoe county extension agent, to •the CoWt rado Agricultural college. The other 80 per cent of the ration was made up of a mixture of equal parts of corn, oats and wheat. ' "The cows like the beans as soon as they are used to them," says Tedmon. "Beans will thus replace cottonseed meal and help cheapen the ration, especially when you have the beans and. haVc to buy the meal." Costly to Feed Lice With present prices for milk, no man can afford to feed lice which may be Infesting his dairy cows. In fact, It is not necessary to put up with them because attention given at the right time in the right way will control •; tfcem. .•.**'•••' . There are three kinds of lice commonly found on cattle.
