SUMMER PASTURAGE SHOULD BE
SEEN To.
ESPECIALLY WHERE DAIRY
COWS ARE KEPT.
Some Food Suggestions for the
Farm-Modest but Profitable Fruit
Storage House-DeSirabil of See,
ing that Hogs Continue TO Fatten
During Warm Weather.

SO long as paSturage is the prin-
cipal dependence of the farmer dur
ing the summer for feed, good care
run short. This is especially true with
the dairy COWS. If they are to main
tain a full flow of milk during the
summer they must have plenty of
food, and they should in addition be
able to secure it without too much
unnecessary walk; so that if the past
ure does not supply through the sum-
mer sufficient growth Of grass to
supply them a sufficient amount must
be supplied in some other way. To a
very considerable extent. green food
must be the principal reliance in the
dairy, as it is not only the most eco
nomical but will give the best results.
Some grain, like bran and oil meal or
corn can be given in nearly all cases
with good results, but green food of
some kind must be the principal re-
lance, and it should be supplied in
way that will give the cows all they
will eat at the lowest cost. The prin
cipal gain in supplying green food
over dry is succulence, and with the
dairy cows this is quite an item. This
must be looked after in good season,
for as soon as hot, dry weather sets
III the grass in the pasture will begin
to fail. Where there are two or more
pastures, changing from one to the
othel will lessen the necessity Of sup
plying feed, as the same acreage in
two pastures will supply more feed
than in one. Many depend upon the
clover and meadow fields for pasture
during midsummer. Whether or not
this is a good plan depends upon so
many conditions that what will be
best for one will not answer for an
other. If the season is favorable af-
ter hay harvest considerable amount
of good paSturage can be secured
without injury to the meadows, but in
many cases both the clover and the
grass plants are killed out to more
or less extent simply from pasturing
too close during the summer The
second growth of clover can be cut
and fed, and generally tie early
planted corn will be ready to use by
the time it is needed. Whatever is
given should be supplied before the
COWS begin to shrink in their milk
rather than to wait, as it is easier to
keen with a full flow of milk rather
ttan to get them back after they once
; begin to fail, hence the necessity of
looking after III good seasOn.-Praire

A few choice plants may be pro-

TO PARIS BY LAND.
An English Lord Would Like to Cross
Behring Strait

San Francisco Chronicle: Since
Charles Murray, earl of Dunmore. ar
rived in the city from the orient he
has been busily engaged III trying to
find out whether the narrow STRIP di-
viding Alaska and Siberia ever be-
comes frozen over. 1t might seem
Il trivial question, but it is one of
great moment to the earl of Duumore,
and he has spent two days interview
ing the members of the Alaska Com
mercial company and all the attaches
of their office with the view Of settling
that question for himself. He has
delved into all the books which were
written about Arctic winters and has
searched through all the literature
obtainable referring in any way to
Behring sea. Yet the question re-
mains unsolved in his mind. He left
for the east with the conviction that
the people of the Alaska Commercial
company know very little Of the eli
mate of those northern parts.
The reason why the earl of Dunm0re
is so deeply interested in the freezing
ludlIl eS Ol the beUGluS SlfdlI Is mat
he has made UP his mind to travel
from New York to Paris without hay
ing to 60 to sea. 1t is a trip that no
one before him has ever thought of
undertaking, and he intends to sur
prise the worlC and at the same time
interest himself by making the jour
ney. His plans are all laid. He Is
now on his way to Montreal to ar
range with the Hudson Bay company
for transportation on the Mckenzie
river. He will purchase a fleet of
reindeer to meet him on the Siberian
side of the Behring.
His trip across North America will
be an interesting one. He will travel
along the Mckenzie river to a point
nearest the source of the Yukon. In
dams will carry his canoe over the
mountains and he will paddle his way
down the Yukon to Fort st. Michael.
If he finds a chance to get across to
Siberia on the ice he will undertake
the risk. Otherwise, he will sail
across in a canoe Then will come the
long journey across Siberia in sleds.
Lord Dunmore says it will be the
greatest trip he ever undertook, and
he means to describe it to the world.
He wrote a book on his travels
from New York to Paris by land will
furnish material for his second literary
effort.

The Goblin Moth

Goblin moth depredations in the ap-
pie orchard may be quite generally
avoided by the use of one pound of
london purple or paris green in 100
to 200 gallons of water. The spraying
should be done Immediately after the
petals fall from the blossoms, and this
may be followed by second appli-
cation in week or ten days. On no
account should spraying be done be-
fore the petals have fallen, and it
should not be delayed long after they
are down, for the reason that it is
not possible to reach the worms with
any application after they have en-
tered the fruit.-Farm and home.
