The successful dairyman knows
pretty accurately just the ratio of milk
production of his herd for each month
OF the year. and he will furthermore
ascertain the relative amount of milk
and cream given by each individual
COW. It is absolutely necessary that
the record should be kept, and then
intelligent methods can be adopted for
diminishing the falling off of milk in
fall and winter. Unquestionably the
food problem is at the bottom of this
falling off, but we have found out that
by artificial methods of feeding we can
to a large extent correct this. The
COW that has good winters supply Of
ensilage, roots, hay and grain is not
apt to fall off much in the quality or
quantity of its milk. But the question
of feeding the winter cows with good
producing food is also one of ex-
pense. No dairyman could fail to pre-
supply almost up to the standard of
the summer il he chose literally of all
the foods in the market. But the most
costly foods are generally those which
give the best results. Consequently we
are hampered in finding the best re-
suits for the least cost.
The silo has in recent years simpli-
fed winter 'airylng, and no man can
we'll do without II who expects to make
his cows do we'll in winter. This is the
best substitute for the summer food yet
devised 1t supplies the necessary
amount OF moist, succulent food which
the cows demand TO make good milk.
But the cnsilage must be good, sweet
and nourishing. The failure to obtain
good ensilage one year Is no good rea-
son to abandon 1t next.
With good ensilage, plenty of root
crops and fine hay and some grain, the
dairyman can make his profits double
in winter. Roots are too little raised.
They may not supply nourishment for
rat and muscle, but they are essential
for good milk supply. Fod with hay
and grain they almost take the place
Of ensilage. But with roots hay, grain
and ensilage we have el.ncst a com-
plete substitute for the best June grass.
Properly planned and raised these four
component parts of the winter feeding
need not be so expensive that the mar
gin of profits is narrowed. Indeed.
they can be raised and fed in winter at
less actual cost than the ordinary feed
of hay and grain, which some dairymen
hold as their stock winter feed. BY
having the ensilage and roots, the
grain food can be reduced more than
one-half without causing any falling
off in the quantity or quality OF the
winter milk.-C. II. Lawson. in Amer
lean Cultivator.

The following is a summary of bull
letin from the Oklahoma station on
manuring soil:
Without going into detail as to the
various considerations that may affect
the results of manuring, at the present
stage OF our agricultural practice, the
chief points 10 be observed are
First-To manure the soil. Use all
the manure produced, prevent losses
by washing away. quit burning straw.
haul the manure onto the fields some
where. sometime. somehow.
Second-Manure the highest and
poorest SPOTS, give a good application
at one time-from Is to 20 two-horse
loads--and manure another place next
time
Third-Manure with reference to the
timo of rainfall, to the next crop which
is to be grown, and to Inc other work
which must be done. Late fall and
winter. when other work Is not press
ings may be applied to wheat in the
Fourth.--GrOM. crops Tor green
inanuring alone Is not the most profit
3ble method. Pasture them and plow
Under the remainder when about ma
lure. This applies chiefly to cowpeas.
n sorghum Is to be plowed under, IL
jhould be while the stalks are green,
AID juicy, so that they will decay

EOliaye Hats.

Very distinguished and usually pretty
is the. dress toque composed of foliage,
or having n wreath of foliage for its
finishing touch. White velvet foliage
is very dressy, making lovely crown
for white dress or one of dark or
black velvet, or even handsome dark
cloth costume. With green foliage n
toque takes OH more general usefulness,
as 1t does also when the leaves are the
lovely dead browns with their innum-
erable though shaded lights of ashes
and gold and bronze.

ability of the phosphoric acid which 1t

When a rotation is followed, the pot
ash may be drawn heavily on one year.
the phosphoric acid another. and the
nitrogen another. and so balance Is
maintained. but this Is not all, because
a rotation not only implies this. but
implies that in that rotation plant is
included which adds considerably to
the humus content OF the soil. To this
end clover or some ,other leguminous
plant Is always. or should always be, a
part Of the rotation. and the reason
that clover is used is that 1t returns to
lne soil more than 1t takes out This
additional substance Is collected from
the atmosphere through cooperation
of bacteria which reside In the nodules

New Rose Bow.

Later and larger than the already fa-
vored rose bow for the hair Is the new
rose bow which is equally stunning at
the corsage or on hat. Indeed. three
of these bows are displayed on some
hats. Most of us. however. would find
n single one would give more chic.

pale pink forms the centre, while the
outer, looser petals are of more deeply
shaded ribbon. This gorgeous rose Is

principle. Underlying Crop Rotation.

A rotation of crops on the same soil
prevents the exhaustion of plant food
primarily because different crops draw
in different proportions on the plant
food elements Of the soil. If, for in
stance. wheat were grown year after
year, even though the stubble was
plowed under. 1t is probable that the
phosphoric acid of the soil would be-
come exhausted, and the test of soils
ability to produce crops is the amount
and availability Of all its principal ele-
ments Of fertility. In other words, If
potash and nitrogen were abundant in
sufIlcient quantity to produce crop of
wheat. and phosphoric acid were lack
ing. the wheat would suffer- The pro-
ductivity OF the soil would in this case
