Cotton Seed Meal for Cows,

the best summer grains is cotton-seed
meal, for while feeding it will not ma

keep 1t nearly to the standard and will
keep up its quality. which is quite as
important. The feeding of 1t also
makes better butter at all times, and
particularly during the summer. While
the quantity fed varies according to
circumstances. from two to four
pounds per cow daily is about fair
ration and will give results which will
warrant the expense at any season.

Alfalfa for Orchards.

While 1t has been stated by a num-
Der OF successful apple growers that
alfalfa makes an excellent crop to
grow in the orchard, it Is believed
by those who have experimental ex-
tensively along this line that the prac-
tice is not good one. Those who are
familiar with alfalfa know that 1t
roots deeply and consumes vast guam
titles of potash and phosphoric acid
and moisture, as well. all essential to
the proper growth Of the trees; 1t is
therefore plain that the crop is one
which should not go into the orchard.
Put the alfalfa in the open field af-
ter lnocula ting the soil with alfalfa

been well enriched with the essential

Value of Root Crops.

There has been much controversy OF
late years concerning the relative
values Of root crops and silage. This
seems to be one of the questions that
ought not to be discussed. ina smuch
as the two crops. in the writer's opin-
ion al least. are essential and one will
not take the place Of the other except
in the sense that either provides Succu-
lent food for stock.
When we commence to compare the
cost of raising either crop we get into
interesting figures. Those who have
tried it know that it Is hard to SOW
the seeds of root crops by hand. and
they also know that until the plants
are large enough to hold their own it
is hard work keeping the weeds down.
AS to the feeding values of the two,
unquestionably the silage is the most
valuable. and if called upon to decide
between the two | would select silage
every time.
If one has n good silo the root crops
will have their greatest value in fur
nishing variety in the menu. but
it Is where the silo Is unknown that
the root crops ought to be extensively
grown as furnishing a succulent food
and digestive at comparatively small
cost, as well as crop which may be
stored for winter use at small expense.

thing no longer done, but the majority
