Feeding the Milk Maker

When the dog days come and your
neighbor, who depends on the scant
pasture, with possibly a little dis
tillers' grains, finds his butter threat
ening to turn into oil the minute it is
taken off the ice, then it is more than
pleasure to have butter to stand up
nice and solid even in careless hands.
1t makes sales 1t makes profits, says
Z. w. Lightly in National Stockman.
From two to four pounds of cottonseed
meal per COW daily will invariably do
this. I know of no feed that has SO
decidedly an effect on the frmness of
the butter, and when cows are on
pasture or are fed silage it is a per-
fectly safe and wholesome feed If fed
in moderation
Turnips as Dairy Feed.
The feeder must use judgment. He
cannot take COW off short pasture
and feed large ration of turnips
without getting bad results, says
New York farmer In American Agricul-
turist. She must be worked up grad
ually, beginning with less than half as
much. In 1901, wishing to plow a
cornfeld for winter rye, stopped feed
ing second crop clover to clear the
piece of turnips, with results greatly
in favor Of turnips as milk producer
do not guess at this, as I weigh each
milking and know what did.
Experiment with Feed.
Experiment with the different kinds
Of grain sold for feed and settle on
mixture that viii give the least cost,
says farmer in American Cultivator,
but use common sense in either case
and do not stuff one COW while you
starve one beside her. Feed and wa
ter at the same hour every day, and
look after the small things. It is these
little things that give you profit or
cause you a loss.
Left Over Fodder.
When a cow leaves grain or hay in
her manger, showing she was fed too
much or is out of condition, do not
leave it there to wait until she does
eat it, says FL. G. Manchester in Rural
New Yorker Food left In the manager
and breathed upon by the COW soon
becomes repulsive, and it will take
her longer to get back an appetite
than if you cleaned out the manger,
leaving 1t bare until another feeding
time. Then If she acts greedy give her
taste and more If she needs 1t. BY
right feeding and watching of cows
they will scarcely ever get of their
feed.
Feed of Record Maker.
The Guernsey COW Princess Rhea last
year gave 1900 pounds of milk CON
tanning 1850 pounds of fat. The de-
tails of her feeding are shown in the
following total: 1850 shorts, 619A oil
meal, 705 gluten, 1851 roots. 1.457 en-

green clover, oats, peas, millet and
barley fodder. During winter months
English hay and second crop were
given.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

Season For Spraying.

The bordeaux mixture Is recognized
as the most reliable of the mixtures
used for spraying fruit trees and plants
as well rs vegetable plants. and all
growers are now familiar with the for.
muln. The causes of failure In spray
ing are generally due TO lack of thor
oughness somewhere in the work The
materials may not be pure, the pump
used may be faulty. or the spraying
may not be thoroughly done or not
done at the right time. any one of
which faults makes the spraying more
or less ineffective.
When pOlsons are TO be used 1t Is
best to use them In connection with the
bordeaux mixture. Those who are ex.
perlenced In spraying have found that
the thrce-eight inch hose Is the best for
use on trees. for II is not so hard to
handle II either attached TO pole oI
from ladder as the heavier hose. In
spraying see that the larger branches
OF the tree and the trunk as well are
/ covered thoroughly; In short, do the
work thoroughly, leaf and branch. and
1t will be found that spraying pays.

Raising Crops For Hogs.

r1e hogs of this country are being
ruined by continuous feeding on corn.
In some sections TO such an extent has
this been carried that the animals are
being raised at considerable loss. Hog
raisers should understand that the an.
finals in their care need protein to OBJ
tain the best results. just as much as
cows need protein. If alfalfa or clov-
er cannot be grown TO advantage. try
cowpeas. or, If your land is too good
for such a crop, and you want some
thing for summer feeding which will
supply the needed protein, try Canada
field peas. which can be readily grown
on any good land.
The best plan for raising this croT
Is to set the peas at the rate Of a peck
an acre, plow them under two of three
inches and SOW mixture consisting OF
psk of oats. peck Of barley and
one-third of bushel of wheat to the
acre. This will make good growth
and furnish an abundance of food con
taning protein for summer feeding.
