are getting along with fewer fences,
but there are far too many yet left TO
be annually repaired or rebuilt
Fences that cut up cultivated lands are
always an obstruction. They are in
the way of cultivation; they take up
valuable room, no farm implement can
work UP close to them, and they con-
stantly invite weeds and bushes where
they are not wanted and where il is
difficult to destroy them. Roadside
fences obstruct snow in winter and

reads in winter would be greatly re
duced if there were no fences along
The cultivated fields. The cost OF Guilt
roads in winter would be greatly re-
reduced and the roadSides could be
easily kept in a more tidy condition.
Village fences are also a constant
source Of expense for planting and re-
building. In many towns q public
sentiment is growing against them.
New ones are not being built and old
| ones are taken away as they become
! unsightly. The custom of keeping
cattle out OF the highway except when
attended by a keeper has made such
| fences of little use. They would be
dispensed with still faster If dogs We're

ers' clubs should discuss the fence
problems often and change public

increase the profits on crops, New

In anticipation of an extended
growth of sugar beets next season II.
A. Huston of the Purdue agricultural
experiment station has issued the fol-
lowing hints to intending planters,
which cannot fail to be of service:
The increased interest in the sugar
beet question has brought to the eX-
pertinent station an unusually large
number of samples of sugar beets from
all sections of the state. Some of the
beets were raised from seed obtained
from other sources. In the case of
the seed sent out from the station, full
working directions were furnished. In
most cases these directions were not
followed, although those who request
ed free seed agreed to fully follow
working directions.
The most essential preliminary to
raising good sugar beets is the proper
preparation of the seed bed. The
ground should be stirred to a depth of
at least sixteen inches. The best way
to accomplish this is to turn a furrow
about eight inches deep with com
mon pillow and follow with a subsoil
plow in the bottom of the furrow.
Very few farmers who tried raising
beets report that they used subsoil
pillow or any other implement for stir
ring the soil to a greater depth than
eight inches. The result of this is
seen in many Of the samples received.
Instead of single tap root, there are
a number of small roots, and instead
of the beet growing we'll under ground
it extends so far above ground that
nearly one-half of its weight Is useless
for ugar-making purposes, Both OF
these defects can be corrected by deep
blowing and subsoiling. II is much
better to do this blowing and subsoil-
ing in the fall We therefore advise
all those who intend TO experiment
with sugar beets the next yeaI, or who
intend to raise them for any purpose,
to pIow the land now and be ready to
plant as early as the season will per-
nit in the spring This early planting
is a great advantage on the moderate
ly light lands, that are best adapted
for sugar heets, since it advances the
crop to stage where it can better
withstand the usual dry summer sea
sen.
In the distribution of seed in the
spring the station will give preference !
to those who have land properly pre- |
pared. IF farmers intend to try the |
raising OF sugar beets, II is OF the ut |
most importance that the work be |
done in every respect. For |
every test not properly conducted, |
growing beets OF poor quality Is not |
only useless, but directly injurious, |
since il seems to indicate that the To-
cality Is not adapted for beet culture.
Badly conducted tests may be the |
means Of keeping beet factories away
from localities that are really well /
suited for the business. They will
certainly never be the means Of Undue
ing capitalists to invest money in fac
tories In any locality.
The first step in the right direction |
Is proper blowing, and his can arA
ought to be done at once

Cows in Winter

In this connection we may further
quote the advice of the Farmers Adj
vocate on watering COWS in winter
Cows, he says, require especial atten-
ton in this regard so large a proper
ton of their milk being water, and he
goes on TO say:
Where roots mangels or sugar
beets-are literally fed, a drink once
or twice daily Of pure water will suf-
fee; but when a less succulent ration
is given, even though corn ensilage be
literally fed, the herd will undoubted
ly return a greater profit for the same
liberal food and care provided provid
ed II the water supply is more album
dant. If one would watch a herd of
cows in a pasture of green grass he
would see marked differences in the
frequency and quantity of their drink
ing. At the last Ontario dairy conven-
ton, attended by John Gould of Ohio,
in referring TO the watering of COWS in
the stable. he gave the results of his
observation watching a herd of COWS
drink. The experiment was made
With six cows and it was found that
the average quantity consumed daily
varied with the individual cows from
seventy to 40 pounds. The test was
made in the stable during several days
and the water was weighed and sup
piled as they needed it in their respec-
tive basins. One COW drank lao
pounds daily right along, and some
the smaller quantity, with an average
of ninety pounds each Another dis
coyery made was that some of the
COWS would drink very often, while
others drank at longer intervals. One
COW would take most of her twenty
four hours supply at once in morning
end only a little in the evening. These
COWS were getting fifty pounds of ensi-
lage per day, which shows that even
though a moderately succulent ration
is given, the consumption Of water is
little reduced 1t was found that the
greatest desire to drink was about an
hour after the morning meal. While
some of the cows drank varying
quantities from day to day. others
were very steady in amount taken dali
~. The animals were continuously
stabbed during the test. 1t was evil
dent that the COWS that drank several
times day did the best. There was
no doubt whatever but that the indoor
watering system, where the COWS can
drink wholesome water at their pleas
ure, is by far the most profitable with
, dairy or even beef cattle. An import
ant feature in stable watering is that
the water is always at the same tenn
perature, which must of necessity
maintain the body at a normal tenn
perature in much greater degree
than can possibly be the case where
cows are driven to a creek once a day
and allowed to take into their systems
seventy to 100 pounds of icy water.
