Turkest tan Alfalfa

A Washington correspondent OF the
Farmers Review writes: The value Of
the Turkestan alfalfa as cold resister
is occasioning no little satisfaction
among the people who last year I'M
dertook its introduction and distribu-
ton over the west. This alfalfa was
expected to show more drouth resist
ing than cold resisting qualities, but
it's hardness is proving Of the great
est value. "Turkestan alfalfa Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson said to
your correspondent, seems likely to
accomplish great results in the west.
In my own state, Iowa, last winter,
about all the ordinary alfalfa was kill
ed by the severe weather, and this we
learn from our correspondents, was
the case very generally over large west
ern areas The loss can be computed
in the millions. Wherever the Turkes-
tan variety was planted, no dead al
falfa was found. 1t stood the extreme
cold The fact is significant and calls
for no remark.
The work generally continued Mr.
Wilson which the department is do

introduction and distribution cannot
fail to attract attention. Our men in

SEEM was certainly not a success It
was never possible to get all the flies
to remain on the COWS till the brushes
were reached. Invariably, after the
COWS had entered the room for two or
three feet the flies would suddenly rise
up and pass out at the entrance door
way. They did not seem to like to
enter the dark room BY eQualiztng

on the outside, trif1e larger percent

much light was admitted from the
doorways the light in the cupola was
not sufficient to attract the flies, but
instead the flies, being brushed on,
would follow after the cattle, and again
renew their attacks.

A Horn-F1y Trap That Failed.

The Kansas Experiment Station thus
reports their trials to capture and
kill horn flies:
How to furnish better protection to
our dairy herds and cattle against the
attacks of the horn-fiy is a question of
growing Importance in this state. The
losses from the disease OF butter-fat
and flesh, through the attacks OF this
pest certainly demand that some sort of
relief be furnished to our stock. Dur
ing the past year, the Kansas Expert
ment Station has carried on a series of
experiments with this object in view
Among the many measures employed,
considerable time was spent in trying
to construct a trap" which would
catch and kill the flies, and not mere
" repe1 them, as is often the case with
so many of the tthorn-f1y mixtures
The general plan of our trap was to
pass the cattle through a dark space or
room At the center of the room, in
the roof, was a glass cupOla, the sides
of which were composed Of four win
dow-sashes, with a large pane of glass
for roof All the joints We're made
tight so as to leave no openings
through which the flies could make
their escape. A few feet from the en-
trance and exit doors of the room were
rooted screens, allowing the cattle to
pass in and out but cutting off the di-
rect light from the outside. thus max
ing the space Immediately below the
cupoIa extremely light as compared
with the rest of the room As the ami
NAL passes under the cupOla it enters
through the exit doorway, which is
lined with a series of brushes, sweeping
all parts of the body The flies, being
disturbed and brushed on, would, it
was hoped. be attracted by the great
est light and would therefore swarm W
| into the cupOla-
To catch the flies in the cupola, small
| tin troughs. containing kerosene, were
| attached firmly to the base of each
| pane of glass The troughs were one
| inch deep, one inch wide. and of the
| length of the distance from side-rai
| to side-rail of the window-sasb. The
! flies, in dancing up and down the win
| dow panes, will at some time or Other
| strike the bottom rail of the sash, bu
when troughs are attached they viii in

The Ohio Experiment Station sent
out for testing purposes 500 pounds OF
sugar beet seed the last spring. From
beets produced by this seed 11S sam
pies were sent to the station to De
tested for sugar content The beets
tested on an average 12.7 per cent
sugar, with purity coemcient of S1-s-
The best averages were from the
northern part of the state, where the
sugar content of 50 samples was Ii per
cent and purity coefhcient OF So
These are above the factory require
ments of II per cent sugar in the beet
and a purity of 80. The average weight
of the beets sent in for analysis was
twenty ounces
The summary of q table published on
these analyses is as follows:
Northern section, 50 samples, average
weight OF beets - ounces, sugar con-
tents IS, purity coefhcient 50.
Middle section, II samples, average
weight of beets 25 ounces, sugar con-
tents 11.S, purity 77.5.
Southern section, IS samples, aver
age weight OF beets 21-3 ounces, sugar
contents 12.4 per cent, purity 7S5-
Average for state. 127 per cent
sugar purity SIS
The station has been assured of
limited supply of sugar beet seed to be
imported from Europe by the United
experiments in Ohio in 1900. In view
of the great difficulty in securing
good stand of beets in 1897 and 1898,
by the late planting that late seed dis
tribution made necessary, it has been
suggested to try planting the beets
much earlier. 1t is hoped in this man
ner to get the beets started before the
dashing rains and hot sun of May and
June 1t seems to be advisable to try
planting late in March and in April,
just as soon as the ground can be well
worked after fall winter blowing
and subsoi1ing, which should now be
done. With the sugar beet it is ad-
vised to follow the custom of onion
growers and aim to secure termination
| before the crusting of the soil by the
rain and sun which is so liable later.
| It is not believed that frost danger is
| greater with due care than the danger
| just stated for late planting. The
| Ohio Experiment Station is now ready
| to receive applications for sugar beet
| seed intended for planting in 1900 II
| is the purpose to send out the beet seed
| in March 1900. The amount sent any
| person will be limited to twelve
| pounds.

Feeding Cora to Horses.

The season of the year when horses
may safely be fed corn has arrived,
but there is a right and a wrong way
Of feeding this grain, and the latter
seems to be most commonly practiced-
To get full value out of corn for
horses it must be crushed or coarsely
ground and mixed with other foods
such as cut hay, straw, bran, etc. To
simply throw twelve ears of corn into
the horses manger three times a day
is not scientific or even coLamon-sense
feeding. A horse SO fed passes great
deal of the corn unmasticated in the
manure and certainly does not show
good results from the feeding. Old
corn, ehelled or on the ear is two
dinty for horses to masticate property
and too starchy to form a complete
ration. The best results have been
found to follow the grinding Of the
corn and cob together for horses, as
it renders the mass of food more
porous hence better digested, and
more especially SO if it be mixed, as
1T should be, with oats and chopped
hay or straw, carrots and other roots
1t is to be understood, however, that
this does not apply to the feeding OF
immature horses, for corn in such
cases should form but a very small
portion Of the ratiOns- Nor should II
be freely used for breeding animals,
especially stations and bulls, as there
is no more common cause of lost
virility than excessive feeding upon
corn Corn is peculiarly a heat and
fat producing food hence is paricu-
1arly valuable in winter time, when
for working horses it may form one
third Of the daily ration, and for idle
mature horses one-71alf to two-thirds
along with oats and bran. Where,
however, the idle horses are kept in
the barn without exercise, this amount
he
might expect to see bad results follow
its use, such as stocked legs, grease,
lymphangitfs, ETC., just on the other
hand too exclusive feeding OF oats to
idle horses may produce such diseases
as azoturia, surfeit skin troubles, ETC.
In what has been said in the foregOing
we have had reference to old, hard,
thoroughly dried corn; but it must not
be taken for granted that soft new
corn will give good results because 1t
is easily masticated. On the contrary
new corn, oats and hay are much more
| liable to produce COLES and other
| forms of indigestion, and the rule holds
| good that no grain or fodder crop
| should be fed to horses the same year
| in which it is harvested. In com
mencing the feeding of corn to horses
| the change should be made very grad
ua11y; then ill effects will not be seen
| and toward spring the same gradual
| change should be made again to an
| al1-oats ration to get the horses il
prime muscular condition for spring
| work. It is the worst kind of folly
| to suddenly change the ratiOns of any
| horse or to expect that corn-fet
| horse will at once do hard work il
| spring or hot weather, for the simple
| reason that the corn diet has beer
| stopped and oats fed to him. Prope
winter and spring feeding, with yer!
| gradual changes of food, will entirel.
| stop the common complaint of horse
sweating, painting and tagging at work
and prevent also heat exhaustion an
many cases of sunstroke-
