Pasture CROP. SO ,s.r..

Pasture and range are necessary u
order to keep breeding swine in a
healthy condition and grow the stock
at profit The man who tries to raise
swine under other conditions Is play
ing losing game, and his balance Will
be on the debtor side of the ledger
Just as sure as we have day and night
Although these facts have been vouch-
ed for many times by experiment sta
tions and successful swine raisers and
given wide publicity, thousands OF
farmers still continue in trying to
raise hogs in a dry lot with nothing
but corn as a feed, with the expecta-
tions of making it profitable opera
ton.
A hog pasture does not mean dust
lot with possibly a few old weeds OH
in one corner, but a good and commo-
dious range, and If planned to give the
best results, it will contain a variety
of crops, selected as to their food
value. The pasture should not be so
small that the hog is compelled to eat
his own filth to get the feed. Every
farm should have six to eight acres
of hog pasture fenced purposely for
this use. This is in addition to whas
range may be utilized outside at times
DNSSSA
than not enough. If the crop gets
ahead of the hogs and becomes woody
cut it off with the mower and a new
growth will start. This can be done
with many plants and will pay even If
the moved portion is not gathered
The pasture may be greatly fertilized
by this method in many cases. The
enclosure should be divided into two
or three parts, at least, so that while
one part is being pastured. crops may
be growing in the others.
While succulent food is very essen
tial the year round for growing and
breeding stock, the exercise is just as
necessary. Pigs confined in pens will
do much better If they have some
green feed, but the results will be
vastly better if the pigs are allowed
range and the chance to gather this
feed for themselves. Any green crop
is much better than no pasture, but
some crops for this purpose are very
much superior to others, and a variety
OF crops, even though they may be
much alike in composition, are supe-
r1or to a single crop. Many swine
ra1sers that appreciate the value of
hog pasture, do not realize the import
ance of giving attention to variety and
composition OF the plants to be used.
In selecting the crops for hog pasture
consider the composition of the plants
as you would consider the composition
OF the grain in a ration. Bear in mind
that certain crops are rich in the food
nutrient protein, that is so essential in
the animal system to build up the
frame and muscles, and is very neces-
sary in the food of breeding stock.
Crops of the opposite nature are rich in
carbohydrates, the heat and fat form
ing compounds. Endeavor to have
some of the former to pasture along
with the latter and the results will be
better.

recommended. A writer says that It
should be sown with grasses to get
the best results.
White clover (trifolium repens) Is
1ow-growing perennial, spreading by
creeping stems. The flowers are white,
the older ones more or less purpl1sh
tinged. 1t is of little value for hay
owing to its small growth, but is very
useful for beautifying lawns, and has
some value as a pasture pant Some
farmers sow white clover seed with
bluegrass and consider it an assist
ant to the bluegrass pasture. 1t stands
cTcuth fairly well, and will grow on
soil too poor to give good yields OF
some other pasture plants. In Ireland
1t is called the shamrock.
Crimson clover (trifolium fncarna-
tum) is an erect annual foot or two
h1gn. It bears scarlet flowers In OBJ
long heads. It was .ighly spoken of
some years ago as soil renovator, but
of recent years has been quite gener-
ally ignored in the north. In the
south it is proving valuable in some
localities.

Alfalfa Silage.

A bulletin of the Colorado station
thus summarizes the results of tests
of alfalfa as si1age crop: Some tests
were carefully made upon a small scale
to see what losses might be expected
in making silage of alfalfa. One test
was made with the alfalfa put in
whole as cut in the field, the other
with the alfalfa cut into quarter-inch
pieces as We cut our corn for silage.
The whole alfalfa showed spoiled
layer three inches thick on the top
and an inch layer around the side
nearly all the way down. The silage
of the bottom and middle was excel
lent and was greedily eaten by the
COWS and calves. Its loss in the total
weight was 10.7 per cent, bat its loss
in feeding value was probably little
larger The other silo was filled with
cut alfalfa. The next day the silo
was covered with two thicknesses of
buiksfny paper and one of boards and
weighted with stone to about SIS pounds
per square foot When covered, the
silage was hotter than the hand could
bear Two days later the tempera-
turs lad fallen to 83 degrees F. and
in two days more had fallen to that of
the air. The silage shrank and set
tanned 33 per cent of dry matter. On
opening, the silo showed 2 inches of
spoiled silage on top and half an inch
on the sides. The spoiled silage was
7.3 per cent of the total weight The
loss in dry matter was approximately
10 per cent 1t is fair to presume that
with a good tight silo, well made
silage from cut alfalfa should not make
a larger loss than was here given in
our small experimental silo, or about
10 per cent of its feeding value To
make good silage from whole alfalfa
is a much harder proposition 1t re-
quires that the alfalfa be quite green;
that the sil6 be both tight and deep;
that the alfalfa be thrown into the silo
in small forkfuls and carefully
tramped, and that it be weighted by
four to six feet of some heavy, tight
packing material like cut-corn fodder.
If the alfalfa is put up in the middle
of summer in clear, bright weather,
it m lst be raked and loaded as fast
as cut One lot we tried was too dry
for silage two hours after it was cut.

A communication from the Illinois
Experiment Station says that the av-
erage per cent of smut in Illinois oat
acids as determined by several care
full counts in over sixty counties of
the state last year, was IA per cent.
Illinois produces the largest amount
of oats of any state in the union or
about 164, ,00O, 900 bushels for 1900. Max
ing liberal allowances for variation
in estimates of yield and per cent of
smut the loss to the farmers of our
state from smut was not far from
$4,000 or about $45 for every forty
acre oat field. This loss can be en-
tirely prevented at very slight ex-
pense by the hot water or formalin
treatment of the seed.
Hot Water Treatment.-The appar-
atus needed for this treatment consists
Of an ordinary scalding kettle or any
arrangement for heating water, bar
rel, several gunny sacks and an ac-
curate thermometer.
The kettle should be partly filed
with 35 to 60 gallons of water and
heated until the temperature of the
water reaches 137 degrees F. The
gunny sacks should be about half iIled
with one bushel of seed oats after they
have been famed and cleaned. Dip
the sack of oats into the hot water,
taking care to>keep the sack eomple.e-
Iy under water and stirring it gently
to keep the water circulating through
every part OF the sack. Treat for i've
minutes at from between 1872 and 137
degrees F. After treating dip imme-
diately into the barrel filed with cold
water. This will cool the oats off
quickly and prevent over heating in
the center of the sack.
About two pecks by measure of the
wet oats should be added to the
amount desired to be sowed per acre
to make up for the swollen seed. The
wet oats cannot be dried and should
be sown Immediately after treating, by
hand or with a force seed drill. The
treating process Quickens termination
and makes a more vigorous plant, thus
increasing the yield Independent of the
destruction of the smut. 1t is advis-
able to treat a part of the seed this
year, sow it apart from the general
crop, thresh separately and save this
seed for the general seeding the fol-
lowing year. The treatment need not
be repeated oftener than once in three
years at most.

som. Clover Facts.

Clovers are among our most va1u-
able forage plants, but they will not
withstand the extremes of drouth and
heat that prevail over large sections
of the west every year and in other
sections of the same region some
years. Being soil renovators they can
be grown in rotation with other crops
to advantage. On account of the large
amount of protein they contain they
have a high feeding value There are
several varieties of clovers grown in
this country, among which are the fol-
lowing:
Red clover. (Trifolium pratense)--
This is the most common variety. and
is grown successfully in the north
wherever the supply of moisture is suf-
ficient. In dry sections it becomes un-
certain. Some call it perennial. but
it is scarcely more than a biennial. its
perennial character being often as
sumed by new plants springing up
from seeds dropped by the plants each
year 1t makes a good hay, but is un-
suited for permanent pasture When
it is desired to use it for pasture, as
a single plant, it is necessary to TO
tate. keeping the clover pasture in one
place for not more than two years

Cultlv.tin< tho Orchard.

H. L. Dean of Illinois says: I con-
slider good and thorough culture of the
utmost Importance in growing fruits
successfully. First getting your
ground in the best possible condition
before setting out your plants or vines
and then frequently stirring and
loosening the ground during the grow
ing season. Now this is not only nee
essary during the growing season be-
fore your trees and vines come into
bearing but especially is it true that
during their fruiting the ground must
be frequently stirred and kept pulver-
lied, in order to have the best results
when gathering your fruits By thus
keeping your ground in a loose, Pill
able condition you counteract, in a
measure, the effect of drouths and en-
able your fruit to keep on growing and
to some extent prevent their dropping.
Another condition also noticed, be-
tween orchards cultivated and those
not cultivated the last few years, and
one think the fruit grower will fully
appreciate is this; the orchards that
have been down to grass for a number
of years and have been bearing fairly
good crops of fruit as their owners
say, without any cultivation. are run
ming down noticeably while those
which have been thoroughly cultivated
are improving every year. This is
gratifying to the orchardist and look
ing at his orchard he knows he has
been well repaid for all work put on
it. The fruit grower must watch his
trees and ought to be able to tell
whether his trees or. vines are thriv-
ing as well as the stock man who goes
around amongst his stock, can tell how
his stock is growing. II your trees
are not doing as well as you think
they ought you can improve their con-
dition by judicious fertilizing. and es-
pecially will it do wonders on young
trees.
