WATCH AS A
II You Are Lost Mt Land or Sen Your
Timepiece VIII Aid You to Find
Your Way Home.

If you ever get lost in a forest or
drift out to sea in your sailboat the
face of your watch will serve as a COM
pass to help you find your way home,
provided you can see the sun. You
have only to hold the watch fiat in
your hand, with the hour mark then
indicated as the time of day pointed
directly at the sun, and a point half
way between that hour mark and
MI will be opposite TO due south in
the sky.
For example, supposing that it is ten
o'clock in the morning, hold the watch
so that the mark y points straight at
the sun, and the mark XI, half way
between the y and XII, will be point
ing toward the south.
Or, s%upposing it is four O'Clock in the
afternoon, hold the watch SO that iii
points straight at the sun, and the
mark II, half way between I'LL and
All' will be pointing toward the south.
This rule is infallible, as you may
lind by testing it at any hour of the
day, for il is based on a very simple
scientific principle. The entire circuit
OF the heavens, as ~traversed by the
sun in "a hours, is reckoned 800 de-

grees-that is, the sun travels Is de-
grees every hour. Now, let your watch
dial represent the circuit of the heav-
ems, each Of the II hour spaces stand
ing for 80 degrees. Each half hour
space, therefore, would stand for IS
degrees.
If it is ten o'clock in the morning.
and you let X point toward the sun,
you will see that in two hours time
the sun will be on the meridian, or due
south; but as every half hour space
on your watch represents Is degrees,
the distance Travelled by the sun in one
hour, it will travel two of these spaces
in two hours. In other words, at the
expiration of two hours the sun will
be on the meridian, and the meridian
is now, therefore, opposite to XI, be-
cause NJ is two half-hour spaces
from Y.
If it is four o'clock, the sun is four
hours past the meridian, therefore, is
opposite to a point four half hour
spaces back from iii, which is In.

SELL THE POOR cows.
They Are a Positive Detrime to the
Dairy and n Steady Source
of Loss.

In the great business world no man
now thinks of succeeding with inferior
machines. The farmer that keeps
cows should take the lesson to heart
and discard ali dairy machines-cows
that are not up to modern require
ments. No matter what a machine
costs, it is better to throw il out on
the dump than use ii at a constant loss.
Only good dairy machines can be profit
ably used. The good COWS make but
ter at a profit. The ordinary dairy
COWS make butter without profit or
loss, and the poor COWS make butter
at n loss. Now it is evident that no
matter how much a cow costs, it is
best to send her to the butcher if she
either loses money or makes butter
with no profit. There are in the hands
of farmers many cows that have lost a
good deal of money once and were per-
haps good cows at one time, but have
outliyed their usefulness. These
should be fattened up at once and sent
to the butcher. Some men say they
will fatten and dispose of their cows a
few months hence, when they have
dried up. But what is the use of keep
ing COWS at all if they are losing
money for their every day.
The sooner they are SEN away the
richer will their be. Farmers
and dairymen can afford to keep only
good cows. All others are a detriment
to the farmer and thefarm.

METHODS OF DIVIDING sILo.

good doors made to fit the opening in
each side. Use paper, or what is bet
ter, felt to make the joints air-tight.
The reader also asks if it would not
be all right to have the boards cut
and put in the partition as the silo is
filled. 1t would be impossible to make a
partition air-tight when put in in such
q manner Too much care cannot be
taken in putting in such a partition.
The ends will have to have much work
where joined to the walls or air will
get through when one side is empty.
The work should be done in a good and
substantial manner, as there is great
pressure. Both sides should be filled
simultaneously and well compacted at
all times. 1t would break down the
best made partition if one side was
put in at a time. After it is we'll set
tied if one side is taken out the press
ure is not so great.
When taking out the first slide, have
a large number Of braces ready the
proper length and as fast as the silage
is used, put in the braces. Fig. 4 shows
the braces in position from the sides
of the silo to the partition. These
braces should have some pieces at the
ends running the opposite direction
to the material against which the
brace is to support. That is, if the
silo is stave and the partition horizon
tai to the brace, the end pieces should
be as in Fig. s. If the timber of the
outside of the silo is horizontal, the
brace should be as in Fig. 6. When
one side of the silo is empty, there is
no danger of the wall giving way if
these precautions are taken. Next year.
when filling, the braces as well as the
end pieces, should be taken Out and
laid away for another year. By this
method, the man with a small herd can
build a moderate sized silo and have
silage through the dry time, as well
as winter at a very small outlay Of
money.-Orange Judd Farmer.

the top over all three, the umbrella
handle, the Irvine and the stick.
Wind the string around very tight
and when you reach the bottom tie
the Irvine you hold to the loose end
of the length under the wrappings.
Examine carefully and be sure the
handle does not slide or twist on the
stick; then push the point of the
stick down into the ground at the
place decided upon for the playhouse.
If you are not strong enough to erect
the house by yourself. ask some COM
p%anions to lend a hand and help sink
the stick firmly in the earth. When
this is accomplished stretch out each
length of Irvine in turf and drive the
peg in the ground. You will need a
wide -ufle of some kind of material
long enough to reach around the out

The thinness of the neck on top and
the flatness on the side characteristic
of the type are very well shown. The
fneness of the neck where it blends
with the head and the freedom from
dewlap show breeding and quality.
The spareness of flesh desired in
the dairy type and the fairness of the
neck where it joins the shoulder make
the neck vein very marked in this class
of animals-so much SO, in fact, that

D ROUND SILO.
ISOLATION of a Ticklish Question THAI
Has Pushed Many Feeders
More or Less.

A reader from Canada asks for the
best method of dividing a round silo
which recently came into his posses
sion. Should the partition be put in
crossways of the openings or extend
from the openings? If the partition
extends from the opening, shall it ex-
tend from the center of the opening or
from one edge? Figs l, 2 and 3 show
the three plans. By putting the par
tition, as in Figs. l and 2, the silage
from one-half must be thrown across
the other, which means much extra
work in emptying a silo. The parti-
ton should be placed as in Fig. B., and

A BALANCED RATION.
why Dairymsn Cannot Afford 10 Feeo
Anything Else IL They Want
to Prosper.

The other day, standing on the
streets of Fort Atkinson, we listened
to a group of dairy farmers talking
about the difficulties and expense OF
feeding their COWS the past winter,
saws the editor of Hoard's Dairyman-
1t was really interesting, much so for
the reason that it was astounding to
hear men who pretend to be dairymen
give evidence, as they did, OF profound
Ignorance of the real economics OF
dairy feeding. One man said he
wouldn't buy bran or gluten meal, SIS
per ton for the first and $24 for the
second. 81 feed ground corn and oats"
said he. Il raise my W feed, and l
know it's cheaper" We ventured to
ask him if he could tell what oats were
costing him per ton when they were
selling at As cents q bushel. WELL"
said he, 81 don't know exactly, but l
do know they are a good deal cheaper
than bran or gluten" The man was in
reality paying S2s.12h per ton for his
oat feed, because that was the price
oats were selling for. Another man
said he wasn't feeding any grain, n
all l get is clear gain" Finally II
farmer, noticing, no doubt, that we
were somewhat interested in the con-
versation, asked us to tell why any
one should feed a balanced ration.
81 have looked over the Dairyman
time and again." he said, land l cant
make head or tail out of what you say
when you fix up those rations for the
men who write you. Is it all humbug,
or what Is it"
We asked this farmer if he had ever
given the subject of feeding dairy cows
any study, and he admitted he had not.
All the men in the group, numbering a
half dozen, confessed that they were
in the same boat. Now, here were six
farmers, with large herds of cows, all
financially interested in getting all
they could from their cows, and yet
not one of them considered it worth
while to stop and look into the feed
ing question to see II it was not worth
looking into.
There is a confession of childli-e
weakness here that is almost pit;ful,
and yet it is the condition of u great
mass of the men who keep cows.
These men were all agreed that they
would not buy bran at SIS per ton, but
they would feed pats at S2s a ton. In
answer to the question: why should
we feed a balanced ration?" we UNDER
took to explain as follows:
We should feed q balanced ration
because the COW is compelled to pro-
duce in milk a perfectly balanced food.
By that we mean that all the elements
in the milk are balanced up to relative
percentage of each food element in it.
The cow cannot help herself. She IAN
not drop off the percentage of the car
bohydrates or protein, or fat, if the
farmer doesn't know enough or is too
stingy to supply her with any of those
elements. What does she do? Simply
this: She reduces the amount of her
milk until the quantity is reduced to
an amount that she can balance from
the food she gets. Therefore, we
should feed the COW a balanced ration
in order that she may keep up her
milk flow to the point of good profit to
the owner.

A Texas dairyman has found that
he can use alfalfa hay as a substitute

increased yield of both milk and but
