Summer Feed For Cows

If farmers who milk cows for profit,
be it many or few, kept milk records,
they would learn that a large amount
Of money is lost annually by allowing
the COWS to fall Off In their milk yield
during the summer, due largely to
scant pasture and to a certain extent
the attacks Of flies. If they do not
know 1t from their own experience
they should profit by that of others.
Cows allowed to fall Off in their milk
flow cannot be made to produce as
much milk by any kind of feeding later
as they would had the flow been sus-
tanned throughout the season. To the
end that this loss may be guarded
against, some provision should be
made to supplement the pasture by
green feed, or silage left over from
winter.
One Of the best crops for this pur-
pose Is oats and peas. On the ground
which has been narrowed or Is natur-
ally rough enough to prevent the peas
from rolling, sow Canadian field peas
at the rate of liz bushels per acre,
ploW under not over inches, then SOW
or drill oats at the rare of 11-2 bushels
per acre. A catch Of oats and peas
should be sowed as early as the ground
is fit to work, then In a couple of
weeks make g second planting. If 1t
should happen that the season Is fav-
orable, pasture is good and all of the
crop Is not needed, it should be made
into hay when the peas are about ripe
enough for cooking
Early sweet corr may also be plant
ed IS well as early field corn. The
Eain point Is to have something. I am
very much in favor Of having sufficient
eiio capacity that there may be silage
last. over to feed at this time. The feed
Is then handy at the barn. It is then
not necessary to neglect work or go

To Prevent Slack BOT

AS a preventive Of black rot in vipe-
yards next season the North Carolina
Experiment Station recommends that
all dead leaves and rotten grapes be
raked up and removed, and rotten
grapes clinging to the vines and trel-
Uses picked of.
Loose, shredded bark that can be
readily pulled from the vines, prun-
ings, dead grass and weeds should be
burned; in fact, anything capable Of
harboring the dustlike spore should be
destroyed Or taken away.
While the vines are still in a dor
mant condition, spray with the copper
sulphate solution, thoroughly wetting
the vines and posts, and paying par
ticular attention to punches Of tendrils
Or rough surfaces on the posts that
would be likely to retain the spores.
It Is much easier to keep black rot
out of a vineyard once cleaned than
to keep it down in a vineyard not
cleaned.

Good Care Of Harnesses.

Now is the time to oil and repair the
harness before the busy season begins,
says American Cu1tivator. Take the
harness to pieces and wash thoroughly
With warm water and soap. It is i'm
portant that the harness be clean be-
fore applying the oil. After washing
let the harness dry; this can be has
tened by rubbing with a dry cloth, then
apply the oil while the leather Is soft,
but not too wet. The harness may be
hung In the open air until the Oil is
absorbed.
Old, neglected harnesses that are dry
and hard had better not be oiled; the
fbres Of the leather have lost their
tenacity, and oil will not restore It.
Oil does not add to the strength Of
leather. 1t merely softens and keeps 1t
from cracking. 1t is a preventative Of
decay, not a restorer. A Well-oiled and
repaired harness will last as long again

Farm Notes..

Don't crowd your hens into toe
small quarters this winter, for that in
vites roup.
Two elements of success with milk
and butter are perfect cleanliness and
attractive packages.
One advantage with a sandy yard
ia that 1t needs very little cleaning;
the rains will carry the filth into the
soil.
II. the milk has a bitter taste give
the cow about two tablespoonsful Of
sugar at each meal for two or three
days.
Keep a dust bath within reach OF
the fowls. They enjoy wallowing
and 1t helps to keep them healthful
and free from vermin.
It would be a nice thing If you
would wash the inside of your poultry
house nov Put some coal oil on the
roosts and clean the windows.
Growing pigs should be fed regular.
ly at stated times, feeding each time
what they will eat up clean, and so
much but what they will come when
called to their next feed.
If you do not wish to go to the Q x
pense Of building double walled poul-
try houses, a couple of thicknesses of
No. l tarred felt closely nailed to the
inside, will go toward making the
house frost proof.
Cattle eat very much like horses:
sheep eat nearly as much in proper
ton to weight, and hogs eat more
than any other Of the larger animals
as compared with their weight, Tn
proportion to numbers, the calculation
is that five sheep will eat as much as
a cow and four or five hogs as much
as a steer. The feed, too, is largely
grain.

Glover as a Poultry Food

Clover is not only more suitable as
summer food for poultry, owing to its
bulgy nature, compared with corn, but
1t is also more nutritious, as 1t con-
tains a greater quantity Of the sub
stances required for the production OF
eggs. The lime for the shells Is pro-
cured when in a soluble form In the
food. as 1t must pass through all the
stages and processes Of digestion, n
the more soluble the mineral elements
the easier and more completely they
serve the purposes of the hens. Glover
hay contains owe thirty times as much
lime as corn or wheat. and the green
clover, though containing more water,
is comparatively rs rich as the hay.
Clover is also a heterogeneous food, and
supplies the elements necessary for
the eggs. when the hens have access
to clover yhey eat a large quantity
during the day. and II insects are num-
erous their wants will be fully supplied.
If it is desired to allow grain to the
flock It should be fed s~paringly and
only, once a day. Do not waste food by
feeding IL In summer, as the hens are
capable Of supplying themselves. II
clover Ii finely chopped, boiling water
poured over it, and the mass allowed to
remain over night, until the next
morning, a strong decoction Of the
clover 10 obtained, known as clover Tea.
This water of the clover Is the best
OF all liquids for mixing ground grain,
especially for chicks. The clover may
be fed to the fowls with benefit. 1t is
an excellent and agreeable change If 1t
is thickened with corn meal and bran.
and 1t may be used for ducklings and
young turkeys. If given warm. On
cold mornings, 1t is an invigorator and
tonic, and costs but little compared
with some other substances.

Orchard Suhsoi!s

The climate being suitable, success
full orcharding depends mor than on
any other requisite on the subsoil.
We can make the soil SO If 1t is not
rich enough, but We cannot change
the subsoil without great expense.
said L. A. Goodman 10 an address.
There are thousands ana thousands
Of acres Of COCA lands scattered all
over our country With the proper SUBJ
right amongthese lands are still other
thousands just as valuable fo1
other purposes, but by no means
having the proper subsoil. and,
hence, orchards planted on these
lands will be Improbable. Con-
genial subsoil-success; improper sub
soil-failure, are two sentences
which should be burned upon the MEM
DRY of every fruit grower. Dig down
under your soil, not n place, but
in a hundred spots all over the land
you intend to plant, and see what Is
below. A few dollars spent in this way
may say you thousands In your or
ehard. The best subsoil is the loess
formation. It allows the rains to sink
deep into its bosom and there holds 1t
until called for by the drouth Of sum
mer and the cold of winter. 1t is fer
tile also, and a fertile, porous subsoil
Is to be desired above all other con-
siderations. Look to it we'll. Gravel
~ shale or clay loan are next in order
as tn valun and thew can he secured in
many Of our apple districts. A red
clay shale, with the limestone soil and
subsoil is always valuable also. Many
Of the subsof1s are found in our noun
famous districts, and there we find
them mixed with iron, which gives
color to the skin and quality to the
fruit. Above all things, then, select
a good, porous, fertile subsoil, and If
you have it not, then go where it is.

that now goes by the Suez Canal from

Suez tolls are levied by corporation,

The revenue producing functions of the
