Pics in AIfaJf,

1t used to be a saying that one
was "as happy as pigs in clover" In
some parts of the West the adage is
being changed to pigs in alfalfa .
Alfalfa is proving to be one of the
best pasturage crops for hogs that
is grown, provided the alfalfa is not
eaten down too close to the ground.
This is not likely to occur if the
field is not overstocked, as the ten
dency is for the animals to eat the
tender leaves rather than the stems
OF plants The leaves, too. are richer
In nltrogenous substance than the
stem ana this is very useful for the
building up of the growing bodies of
the pigs.

Production of Hons

There is little danger of an over.
production of hogs. The difficulty is
to get enough of them Curtailing
the production will not send up the
price correspondingly, as people will
pay only just about SO much for any
one kind OF meat and then will turn to
something else. There should be mil
lions more hogs produced every year
than are. With an animal as pro-
life as the hog there is no reason
why the supply should not be ade-
quate to meet the demand. It is
doubtful if the farmer can raise anv
animal that is more profitable than
the hog.

FEEDING Goats.


In feeding goats one should not get
the idea that because they will eat
about anything, any kind of food will
be profitable to feed them. The fact
is that they have a good appetite for
even straw. but it will not pay to
feed them much straw. Their stom-
achs are not large enough to hold a
quarter of the straw that would be
necessary to keep them from losing
in flesh They would have to have a
digestive power acting five times as
fast as it does to make the use of
straw profitable. 1t is not a question
of what they will eat, but of what they
will eat that will yield them nutrition
Ii man expects to make goats prof
liable he must feed them well through
out the winter and the food must yield
enough nutrients, SO that the goats
will go onto spring pasture in a sleek
condition. A little straw may be Civ
en-, but the more straw the more grain.
In any case the grain ration should
be about one-fourth of the whole.
Corn fodder is very well relfshed and
has in it nutrients needed to build up
frame and sinew. If alfalfa is obtain
able, no better feed can be given.
Glover is more generally obtainable
and that is an excellent feed for the
goat. One of the chief reasons why
some that have bought goats have not
succeeded in making them profitable
is that they have had the idea that
such feeds as clover, alfalfa and corn
fodder should be kept for the animals
more accustomed to high feeding
while the goats should be made to SUBJ
sist on the toughest kind of rough
age.

Rock Salt for Farm Animals.

One OF the best ways to salt animals
is to use rock salt in very large Jumps.
The cattle and other animals will then
be compelled to lick it rather than
eat it. and there is thus no danger of
them getting too much of it. 1t should
be placed where the animals can get
to it at any time. 1t should be placed
in rack or in boxes raised above the
ground so that it will not get dirty.
The sides of the boxes and racks
should be high enough so that the
salt cannot be nosed out. In the case
of sheep and goats, the racks for salt
must be low, so the animals can get at
the salt When the Jumps are reduced
in size, it is just as well to place big
ger ones in the places and remove the
small ones

Nitrogen Fixinq Bacteria.

The study of nitrogen fixing bac-
terra is engroSsing the attention of
some of our best scientists at Wash
ington. 1t is interesting to note that
great progress is being made. The
information being sent out from the
Department of Agriculture is proving
of immense benefit to the farmers of
the country, through few of them
have as yet availed themselves of the
offers of the department.
During the past season extensive
tests were made with the bacteria in
connection with leguminous crops
Great results were anticipated, but
greater results were obtained. The
strange thing is that some of these
bacteria were sent out and applied to
soils that had an abundance of the
same kind of bacteria and the result
was seen to be very good This can
hardly be explained except it be that
there was a little difference in vital
ity in favor of the kind sent out from
Washington.
The government can afford to be Iib.
eral with the inoculating ferments. as
the material required for the inocula-
ton of an acre of land costs about
one cent. The farmer in turn has to
pay nothing for the work of inocuIat.
ing, as 1T is too slight labor to be
reckoned- 1t is interesting to learn
that the demand for the organisms is
constantly increasing.

The Ground Is Frozen.

The ground is frozen and the pouI-
try can get no grit. This fact should
be remembered by every man that
has poultry. 1t is fact that is often
never thought of, with the result that
the fowls fall sick from inability, to
masticate their food. We use the.
word advisedly. The human being
chews food with the teeth to reduce
1t to condition where the juices of
the digestive apparatus can work on
it. The fowl has to have grit for this
same kind of grinding.
Grit wears out. 1t is different from
teeth In this Teeth renew them
selves to a certain extent and the
part that is being worn away is also
being replaced. The grit in the giz-
zard of the fowl is all the time ran

Plants Without Water,

The United States government is
working on the problem of securing a
large number of plants that will grow
almost without water. In this it is
being fairly successful. We have taken
1t for granted that the semi-arid
wastes of the West must for ever
remain semi7arid. This is not neces-
sarily the case. We are learning from
other lands that it is possible for
plants to grow without any large
amount of water being applied to the
roots.
Plants differ greatly as to their abil-
ity to get moisture in some way from
the air. The air over the semi-arid
plains is not so much devoid of mois-
ture as might seem to be the case
The moisture is there, but it is in the
form of gases that compose the air.
Even in the dryest place there is in the
air enough elements of water to make
layer OF eight feet of water over the
soil. OF course but little of this can
be condensed at any one time
Ii some plants are so constituted
that they can take the carbonic acid
gas from the air and store it up in
their leaves and make seed and fiber
out of it, why may not other plants
nave the power of in some way taking
INC el0InonlS IlaC form water
and producing moisture of their own.
This must be the case with green.
thick-leaved plants that grow in the
clefts of the rocks in dry places
We know little of the mysteries of
nature, though we have studied her
long. We are all the time running I'M
against facts that contradict our theo-
RES Some years ago it was declared
that it was impossible for a plant TO
get nitrogen from the air by any hook
or crook. Some scientists in different
parts of the world found plants TAX
ing nitrogen from the air in some
mysterious way, though they did not
even suspect how it could be done.
They reported their observations and
were laughed at. The greatest scien-
lists of the world were against them.
But they studied the matter out till
they found how the plants did it. and
then the world changed its opinion.
The time is coming when the arid
plains of the west will become yalu-
able for the growing of plants thar
will thrive on those plains. but will
not thrive in lands of rain. The world
is properly adjusted after all. Little
by little we are finding how to use if.

Winter Growth Of Sheen

Sheep should be kept thrifty all
through the winter and should go onto

Calf Meals.

Il
| A bulletin of the PENNSYLVANIA sta
ton says: There are a number of
| cal1-meals upon the market in this
| country and England which purport to
pc milk substitutes for young calves.
Wnlie they are undoubtedly valua-
Die as a supplement to a skim milk
ration. so far as the writer is in
formed they have not proven sue
cess as complete milk substitutes.
moreover, they are very expensive, the
| price ranging from SIS to 500 per
ton American writer's in discussing
milk substitutes for calf-feeding, have
recommended hay tea. While this
may do very well for calves four or
nVe weeks old, as cited by Stewart
IN some observations made by him,
tne writer is not aware that 1t has
proven a successful substitute for
caves that were much younger, while
the difficulty of preparing food of this
KIND makes it impracticable except
uhoer unusual circumstances.
In England calf-meals are fed by
nearly every stock grower. and, as
large part of the milk produced in the
kingdom is sent to the city for imme-
date consumption, the calves are put
upon calf-meal ration at as early an
age as possible. Many calf-feeders
buy the commercial calf-meals, while
some OF the most progressive farm
ers iced meals of their own mixing.
AS the ingredients employed in the
manufacture of these ca1f-mealS are
kept secret as far as possible, the
composition of the most successful
milk substitutes is not generally
KNOWN In some cases chemical
analysis has shown them to be COM
posed largely of f1axseed meal and lin
seed oil-cake meal, with a little fenu-
greek or fennel seed added to give a
characteristic odor.
In the work herewith reported upon,
the writer took for his basis at the
start formula recommended by one
of the Agricultural Colleges of Eng
land. This formula is as follows:

FlaxSeed meal 33 1-3

The directions were: Take 2k
