Pun pkins for Cows.


They may be grown without any spe-
clat labor and possess considerable value
for the dairyman. Last year we grew
twelve large tWO-hOrse wagon lOads-the
wagon box holds sixty bushels-on nine
acres of corn land, and the corn yielded
l26 bushels of ears per acre; so the
pumpkins could not have injured the corn
very ma erially. These We're fed to the
cows, calves and hogs, and literally, too,
year we had thirteen wagon loads, not
withstanding the drouth, and the cows
relish them apparently better than any
other kind of feed. When fed in large
quantities to cows the seeds are taken
out and fed to the hogs, along with
corn, pumpkins, sweet milk and butter
milk. Although the pumpkin contains
from ~ to 80 per cent. water, the dry
matter in it is we'll proportioned and
forms the much-talked about balanced
ration of l to 6. For the dairy COW the
pumpkin is of greater value than pota-
toes, mangel wurtzels, sugar beets, tura
nlps, rutabagas, carrots, rape, corn sill
age, sorghum silage and various other
much-prized feeds that require many
times the amount of labor necessary to
grow a crop of pumpkins. They should
shock and handled with reasonable care
SO as not to bruise or burst them, and
stored in a cool, dry place.
Some object to growing pumpkins be-
cause the vines are in the way when
seeding the ground to wheat. That is
true but one can we'll afford to 60 to
some trouble to dispose of the vines az
ter gathering so good a crop. One neigh
Dor, David Roberts. who is very care
full farmer, loaded the vines on a wagon
and hauled them off the field. We were
not quite so careful as he, but found
by running over the field with disk har-
row the vines were cut. up into many
pieces and would only occasionally give
any trouble with the grain drill-Ohio

hens begin to lay, and then cease when
the temperature is low. This fact dem
onstrates that warmth has much intiu-
ence on laying and that warm quarters
arc essential to egg production. When
the hens can go OH the fields in the spring
and forage they secure large amount Of
insect food. During the winter sub
stitute for such foods may be allowed in
the form of cut bone, ground meat, fresh
me ut and a change of grains. Corn and
wheat make excellent foods during cold
weather, but a variety of food must be

Loss Of Plant Food by Selling Cattle

Loss of Plant Food by Selling Cattle.
When cattle are shipped from the farm
the greater portion of the weight is wa
ter; that is, one-half of the materials
composing the body of steer is water
If the remainder could be reduced to
ashes there would be about Al pounds
from 1000 pounds weight Of the animal,
the balance being lost during the process
of burning by escaping into the at
mosphere. A 10O0-pound steer, therefore,
contains 500 pounds of water; also about
= pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds phos-
Rhorlc acid and 2 pounds of potash
these estimates are not exact, as cattle
differ very much. What is intended to be
shown is the fact that in the selling of
cattle there is but little loss of potash,
while. the IS pounds Of phosphoric acid
(Which exists in the bonesl is but small
proportion of the cost of the steer, being
worth about ST. The 25 pounds of nitro:
gen would cost about $3.50. Lime, salt,
soda, sulphur, chlorine and other sub
stances also exist in the bodies of ami
mails. but it may be safely claimed that
- will cover the total loss from the farm,
IN plant food from the soil, for 1000
pound steer sent to market. Cattle-rais-
ing, therefore, does not exhaust the soil
as much as may be supposed, and if lin
seed meal and bran are purchased as
foods the loss will be more than regained
in the manure.
