Corn for Dairy Feeding.

An enthusiastic advocate of soiling
saws that the truth of the prediction
made some years ago that corn will
soon take the place of grass for dairy
and cattle feeding is already realized
by many farmers. With the progress
sive dairymen pasturing is considered
out of date and a wasteful method.
Hay is inferior to prepared cornstalks
for feeding purposes, and now that we
can supply perfect corn ensilage for
feeding we have more particular need
for the pastures. An acre of pasture
will not supply much more than one
fifth of the food required to support
a cow through the growing months.
One acre of corn will give all the green
food If needs from the first of July to
the first of October. On the same piece
of land corn raised for soiling Will
make four times as much green food
for a COW as will grass.

ANTS SPREAD BLIGHT.
They Are Said to Be the Chief Factor
in Destroying Many Promising
Pear Crops.

The statement is made in American
Gardening, referring to pear-blight
that the blighted twigs eXude milk
white liquid; that this fluid the bees
are likely to get and spread to the
flowers of healthy twigs which they
may visit. The bees would have no
occasion for sucking up the virus,
and there is no use in laying the
blame on them. where common ants
(very numerous in California where
the blight is the worsD crawl all
through it and thence all over the
trees. While the bees may spread
the virus from diseased to a healthy
blossom, it is extremely improba bic
that they should seek out the poi
sonous sap from diseased twig.
While ! was in California LOOKING
through those great pear orchards.
so fearfully blighted. 1 saw ants in
great numbers crawling all ove: the
diseased and healthy twigs. and some
of the twigs were covered with that
deadly milky fluid. I believe the time
will come when it will be proved
that the bees are not the chief means
of spreading the blight; that those
ever-present ants, that are continu-
ally crawling over the trees from top
to bottom. will be declared to be the
real culpritS.

POOR COWS EXPENSIVE.
Why Thousands of Dairy Animals
in the United States should Be
Sold for Beef.

Some dairymen would be better off
if they did not have so many cows as
they own at present and some would
be actually better off if they had
none. This is hard saying, but it is
true. The sooner the poor cows are
weeded out of the herd the better. 1t
takes a fairly good cow to pay ex-
penses. There are millions of cows
in the United States that are not fair
ly good. This is proven by statistics
regarding the average of milk and
butter production. The average COW
is not money maker, and there are
millions of cows poorer than the av-
erage cow. From the average COW
down they should be sent to the
SHAMELESS. The farmers of the
United States would be ahead what
they received from them as beef.
This would be clear gain, and more,
for 1T would be preventing annual
losses that are now occurring with
great regularity. The men that scott
at book farming, that will not read
agricultural papers and that will not
attend farmers institutes are the fell
lows for the most part that are keep
ing these expensive poor cows. The
men that are awake and that think
are quitting that kind of business,
Moreover, the men that are progress
sive are getting ahead of the men
that refuse to think. They are going
out among the slow men and are an
nually buying their best cows to put
into their own herds. They are doing
this at the expense of a few dollars
per cow more than they would have
to pay for poor cow. They are do
ing the right thing, for if the other
men refuse to be instructed they
must necessarily suffer the loss OF
their best animals. A cow that will
make a profit of $50 a year is GER
tainly worth twice as much as the
COW that will make only $25 profit
in year, yet the foolish man that
sells the better COW will part with
her for $35 when he would want S25
for poor cow. Every farmer should
Investigate the matter and as quickly
as possible get rid of his expensive
poor cows.-Farmers' Review.
