FEEDING IN WINTER
Steaming and Cooking Coarse Fodder
for Cows II Practice That
Pays Well.

In feeding cornstalks the dairy cows
show that they relish them much bet
ter than when fed dry and hard. There
is improvement in the actual nourish
ing qualities of the stalks by cooking
them, for the process does not add any
thing to them, but the fact that the
fodder is made more palatable to the
animals is sufficient excuse for one
adopting this course. Dry, hard corn
stalks are not really pleasant food to
COWS, and many will eat them only
when forced to it from hunger. But
if the stalks are taken and cut up into
small lengths, and then cooked or
steamed and fed to the animals warm,
they have an odor that is refreshing.
Cows will eat the mush thus made
greedily. If one has steam on the farm
the fodder stalks can be cooked with
the steam much quicker than by any
other method. If we add little grain
to this cooked mush the cows will eat
far more than when fed any other way.
In feeding the stalks in this way the
grain food should not be cut down, as
some are inclined to do, for, as said be-
fore, nothing is added to the stalks by
cooking them.
I believe that all good dairy cows re-
spond quickly to good feeding, and little
improvements in the method of prepar-
ing their food. In cold weather they
show the effect of warm feeding imme-
diately. 1t stands to reason that they
feel better when they have warm food
to take into their stomach; just as much
as man. By tempting them in this
way we undoubtedly increase the flow
of milk. Anything that freshens the
appetite and make the food more pal
atable is very apt to affect the milk
flow favorably. The work of steaming
or cooking the fodder adds quite mate
rally to the dairyman's labors, but if
it can be done once or twice week it
will help to improve the milk supply.
Poultry raisers see to it that their birds
have warm food once day through
the winter, and it may be that dairy
men can find in it lesson for them.
They all agree that warm food agrees
with the hens laying eggs and greatly
helps in increasing the supply of this
product.-E. p. Smith, in American Gull

ting back new growth on hinged arms
gave the fruit better quality. The effect
of ringing devitalizes somewhat, but
judiciously practiced even the cumula-
tive effects on strong-growing kinds
need not be disastrous.
Growers have found that the best re-
suits are obtained by doing the work
when the grapes are about one-third
grown, the exact time depending on
the season and variety. The operation
may be performed with a knife, but,
where ringing is extensively engaged
in tool designed for the purpose is
used.
The accompanying figure is ex-
planned below the cut itself.
The same station explains the reason
of the effects on the fruit, as follows:
The food materials taken in by the
roots pass up through the outer layers
of wood to the green parts of the plant.
Here new material for growth is
formed and the portion that is not
needed by the leaves and other green
parts passes downward, for the most
part through the inner bark, to be dis
tributed wherever it is needed. The
wood is not disturbed in the process of
ringing, therefore the upward move
ment of the solutions is not interfered
with; but since the downward passage
takes place through the inner bark the
flow is arrested when it arrives at the
point where the bark has been removed.
Consequently the parts of the plant
that are above the point where the ring
of bark has,been removed receive more
than a normal supply of food, which
tends to produce increase in size and
earlier ripening of the fruit. - Ohio

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

It doubtless pays well to invest in
some of the devices which keep the
water so that each COW can help her
self when she wants it. Milk is near.
ly all water, anyhow.
All cattle feel the pinch of cold IN
winter, and unless additional feed and
good, comfortable quarters are given
them they will fall off rapidly in con.
dition and will be Improbable al
winter.
Make your stable floors and cutters
water tight and use absorbents, OF
conduct the liquid manure to a cistern
in the barnyard, where it can be
pumped out and sprayed on the mead
ows.
Charcoal is good absorber of gases
in the milk room where foul gases
are present. It should be freshly
powdered and kept there continually
especially in hot weather, when I'm.
wholesome odors are most liable to
infect the milk.-Farm Journal.
