Alfalfa as Cow Feed.

II has often been said that from
chemical standpoint alfalfa is an ideal
ration for milk cows but this is not
fact. A COW weighing 1000 pounds and
giving her full capacity of milk should
receive twenty-nine pounds of dry
matter, 212 pounds of digestible pro-
tein, thirteen pounds of digestible
carbohydrates and one-half pound OF
ether extract daily. II a COW should
receive thirty pounds of alfalfa dcy
with no other feed she would not get
enough dry matter by Ia pounds.
too much digestible protein and rot
enough carbohydrates or fat. Theo-
retically. speaking, in feeding alfalfa
to dairy cows 1t should be fed in com
binatson with some crop which will
supply the nutrients in which alfalfa
is deficient, such as corn fodder. AL
falfa and corn fed in combination re-
suits in greater efficiency In that it
requires less dry matter TO produce
one pound Of butter fat or 100 pounds
of milk. The nutritiye ratio of al
falfa, that is the proportion of protein
or albuminoids to carbohydrates and
fat Is undoubtedly too narrow for best
results, Corn and other crops supple
mentary tc alfalfa must find an inn
portant place in farm practice in the
irrigated west.-DenvCr Field and

The Dust Bath.

To keep the fowls free from lice
during the winter months nothing Is
so good as the dust bath. Don't think
that lice don't multiply in winter, for
they do. especially those great gray
fellows. Get a box, a barrel, or any
thing that will hold the dust away in
the dry, and now fill it or have the
children fill it with road dust. Now is
an excellent time, for later the roads
will be too damp with the fall rains
and heavy night dews to dry out and
make much dnst. Then when the
fowls must be kept confined and the
earth Is hard and frozen, put some of
the dust in the shallow box, set it in
the sunshine or light of the poultry
house windows, and notiy how they
enjoy that dust bath. Remember, the
dust must be dry and if possible warm

Foundation of DairyInu.

The motherhood Of the COW is the
foundation of dairying. This founda-

at naught. The care and feeding of
the mother are things that should
receive our first attention, but they
have been the things to receive at.

Cause of strinqiness In Milk.

Stringiness in milk Is caused by
fungi which develops in the system of
the cow. In an affected COW the tenn
perature is raised one or two degrees
above normal. Like most other fungi
this does not grow out into filaments
in the milk while within the body, but
in five or six hours after the milking
the surface layers are found to be one
dense network of filaments. If a
needle is dipped in this and lifted the
liquid is drawn out into long thread
Care should be taken in the water sup
ply which is likely to cause stringl-
ness and two drains bisulphite of soda

One of the theories that have been
exploded as worthless is the old i'm

would dry up their milk flow. An
other absurd proposition Is that sour
apples will create sour milk. AS q
matter of fact apples which are not
decayed are the very best condiment

M. Wentworth of State Center, Iowa,
in giving some figures of the magni-

value of the output, exclusive of Sun

900, 900. daily. To move the years pro-
duction of butter would require 49,

pounds. This succession of cars would
extend $50 miles If placed end to end,
or from the worlds fair grounds to q
point forty miles beyond Chicago. n
placed in sections of twenty-five cars,
1,750 locomotives would be required
to haul the butter output, and 1t would

trains. If sections were placed six
miles apart the first section would be
