FEEDS AND FEEDING.

The secret of successful stock-rais-
ing or dairying is cheap feeds and cor
rect feeding. Every dairyman is con-
fronted by the question Of what to
feed, and not only Of what TO feed but
how much to feed, how to feed and
when to feed. The answer to these
questions may differ somewhat in diff
ferent localities, but the general prin-
ciples OF feeding are the same wher-
We must aim to grow our own foods
as the man that produces milk for
the cheese factory or creamery can
not afford TO make a practice of buy
ing feed. He may, however, make ex-
ceptions TO this rule in times OF
it profitable to buy foods Of a nitro
genOus character to help balance what
might otherwise be one-sided ration.
The constantly increasing demands OF
those who furnish milk for the city
trade and who have little or no land
on which to grow their feeds are TAX
ing the by-products of the milk at
prices beyond the reach of those who
feed for butter or cheese.
II is often said that if a man can
make a profit above the market price
on the material that he grows on his
own farm by feeding it TO his live
stock he ought then to be able to
make a profit on the feed that can be
bought in the market at the same
price. This may seem like logical
conclusion. but it is one of the theO-
rieS that do not always work out salts
factorily in practice. The man who
buys his feed is at the mercy Of
fiuctuating market. He comes into
competition with the men who get
six cents per quart for their milk. He
is forced. while getting protein for his
cows in the by-products of the mills.
TO bid against the men who put up
breakfast food at ten cents a pound.
When We grow our own feed a much
more economical employment Of labor
can be made, as the labor required for
milking morning and night can be
used during the day to grow and care
for this feed. All freights and COM
missions are cut out. Growing ones
feed on the farm is good farming.
while buying feed is too much like
hand-to-mouth farming.

Tying Cows in Stalls.

Most farmers still hold to the stan
chions as a means Of keeping their
cows in the stable It is surprising to
know that some of the most advanced
farmers have not yet abandoned the
use of the stanchion. A lecturer on one
Of the institute forces was delivering
a lecture on cows and condemned the
use Of stanchions. advocating the
more modern methods Of COW tying.
In the discussion that followed some
one In the audience asked him the
question. What method do you use
in tying the cows" He replied. 4
still use the stanchion: I'm an old
fogy." This shows the force of habit
even in those that are well instructed
as to scientific dairying. This man
said that both he and his cows were
used to the stanchion. and had been
all their lives, and he had not got
around to making any change. II
this Is so with those that are the
leaders in dairy thought. we need not
be surprised if the great mass of
farmers OF the country still hold to
the methods that science condemns.
In a rigid stanchion the animal can
not lie down with ease and cannot
reach the parts of her body that she
can reach under the more modern ar
rangement. The stalls that are now
generally advocated and used by the
men who are making a science of
dairying, are those that give the COW
a large amount of freedom. One of
these methods is to have the stall
narrow enough to prevent the COW
from turning around in it. A chain
behind her prevents her from backing
out Of the stall. Her head is left
entirely free. The COW. when she lies
down. naturally turns her head when
she composes herself for sleep. The
modern stalls permit the COW great
freedom in this respect Another sys-
tenn OF COW tying is to fasten them
with q chain around the neck, the
chain being fastened to a ring that
runs up and down on the center pole.
One has but to visit the state expert
ment station to see a great variety
OF methods demonstrated in the fast
ening Of cows. All these, however,
serve one general purpose, that of
making the COW comfortable. So far
as We know the rigid stanchions are
not used IN any experiment station,
or on any farms conducted by scien-
tific dairymen-James Addison, Bu-
reau Co., ILL.,. in Farmers Review.

Habits and Fruit Trees.

It seems absurd to suppose that
fruit trees form habits as do hu-
man beings. but that seems to
be the case. Professor Bailey
and others that have looked into
the matter declare that it is their
opinion that II a tree begins to bear
crops every other year it will continue
to do so: and NO amount Of pruning
or thinning will change that habit aft
er it is once established. II, however.
the orchardist is able by pruning and
thinning to start the tree as an annual
bearer it will remain that kind of
bearer. We have yet to see this
theory thoroughly demonstrated, but
on the face Of things it appears to be
true.

comes to deciding about owning a

1t seems unfortunate that the bum
BILE bee. which is so useful, if not, in
deed. absolutely necessary. in the fer
tiliZation of red clover. is not more
carefully protected. When a nest of
humble bees is overturned with the
plow, the practice is almost universal
Of robbing these of their honey. which
probably means their destruction be-
cause of want of food The aim
should be TO foster in every legiti-
mate way the presence of such an
Insect. 1t has been proved beyond
doubt that unless red clover is fer
tilted through the medium Of insects,
it will not bear seed. 1t is unfortun-
ate that the common honey bee is
unable to serve this purpose.

Deep Preparation Of Land,

1t pays to plow the land deep for any
kind of fruit before the plants that are
to bear that fruit are set out On land
that has never been plowed deeply, the
roots of plants hold close to the sur
face. Perhaps they get enough food
in this way: but it is much to their
detriment in dry seasons at least, and
the roots near the surface interfere
with the after cultivation of the
ground. A mellow soil invites the
roots to strike deep instead Of running
along the surface of the ground.

A Permanent SjIo.

A farmer came into the Farmers
Review office the other day and began
to discuss the matter of silos. He
said that in his locality some cheap
silos had been put up years ago and
that. as a consequence, the farmers
there were doubtful as to whether or
not they had made any money out of
the enterprise. He declared that il
the farmers had to repair their silo
every year and in ten years buy a new
silo it was hard to figure out a profit
over the old way of doing business.
We called his attention to the fact
that the Farmers Review has never
advocated the building of the tenn.
porary cheap silos. a silo should be
built to last life time and be SO per-
fectly constructed that it will need
no repairs at any time, and will not
need to be rebuilt. There are many
such silos in use to-day. H. B. Cur.
Ter told the writer that all his silos
would last longer than q life time
and that he would not think of build
ing any other kind. There are to-day
being constructed silos that will last
during several life-times. It is prob
able that the metal silos will prove to
be very enduring. requiring only to re-
receive coat Of tar or other liquid
dressing once in several years. What.
ever the kind put up see that it is not
one that will tumble down if neglect
ed. The time of the farmer is so
fully occupied that he must adjust all
his work. SO far as possible. to get
along without more attention than
necessary. An implement. building or
fence built to remain and last with
little attention is a labor saving de-
vice. Build a permanent silo.-Farm-
ers' Review.

II is we'll TO occasionally look around
in the apple orchard for tent cater
pillars. The eggs are laid in bunches
and upon close inspection can easily
be found. They should be destroyed.
II this is not done. be sure 10 kill the

Don't allow them to destroy the leaves

that dried beet pulp can be thus used
