Feeding the Milk Maker

For the average COW, weighing about
1000 pounds, eighteen pounds of al
falfa hay and eight pounds of corn is
a complete balanced ration, says G. w.
Meleck in Kimbalps Dairy Farmer. It
only lacks one ingredient during the
time of the year when cows cannot
obtain grass or other succulent feed.
This ingredient is corn silage or roots
and tubers. Succulent feeds stimu-
late the appetite and juices of the di-
gestive system, help digest other food
eaten with them, have a cooling and
laxative effect on the system and are
relished by cattle such as delicacies
are by human beings.
In Line of Progress.
The farmer who knows nothing OF
balanced rations and who will not in
form himself should seek safety and
the welfare Of his stock in providing a
variety of feeds. This may be but a
blind way to progress, but better this
than no progress. Farm and Ranch.
Success In Feeding.
The most successful feeders are the
men whose judgment is SO keen and OBJ
servation so close that they can feed
the animals In their charge close up to
the limit of what they will eat and yet
leave the appetite SO unsatisied that it
would take little more if it could get
it.-Holstein Friesian Register.
Glover Hay as Roughage.
Professor C. H. Eckles of the Missou-
ri Agricultural college says that where
clover hay alone is used as roughage it
is possible to compound a pretty well
balanced ration from the grains COM
monty grown upon all farms. Substi-
tuting roughage OF less heterogeneous val
ne, however, calls for an increase in the
amount Of the grain ration or for the
addition of a small amount Of one Of
the rich concentrates. Michigan Farm
er.
Feed and Cows.
A bulletin of the Utah station, CIV
ing the record of fifteen cows for one
year, shows that the cost Of the food
eaten for each 100 pounds of milk pro
duced varied with different cows from
29. 4S to 52O7 cents. The cost of food
per pound Of butter ranged from 5.91
to 11.S cents in the case of different
cows, and, with butter at 90 cents a
pound, the net profit from COW for
one year ranged all the way from STAT
to $51.37. The cows were common ma
tive and grades selected with consid-
cradle care.
MangeIs For Cows.
Mangels may be fed to cows in guam
titles from twenty to forty pounds
daily, says Hoard's Dairyman. II the
larger amount is fed it should be divid-
ed In two feeds. The roots should be
sliced or pulped before feeding, and It
is an excellent plan to mix the gzAIn
allowance with them.

He stopped to Conquer.


English newspapers tell Of young
cabman in Birmingham who by his re-
semblance to her dead son attracted the
fancy Of a wealthy old woman. She be-
queathed him fortune on condition
that he became an educated gentleman.
The cabman studied the classics enough
to fit himself for Oxford or Cambridge,
but doubted whether he knew enough
Of the manners Of young gentlemen to
conduct himself properly in their soci-
ETY.. So, putting pride in his pocket, he
obtained place as scout" or servant,
at one of those seats of learning and
profited SO much by what he saw and
observed in this humble position that
when he eventually proceeded to the
other university as a student he was
able to pass creditably.

WALNUT GROWING.
From an Address Before National Nut
Growers, Association.

Growers Association.
There is growing wild over large
stretch of territory all through south
and southwest Texas on all kinds of
soil and under all kinds of conditions,
along river banks and away off on ups
lands small bush-like walnut known
commonly as Mexican black walnut
(Juglans rupestris). For the past eight
years this writer has been carrying on
experiments with the above mentioned
species as stock for the Persian wal
nuts, with most fattering and encour-
aging results. A small grove of young
trees of Juglans rupestris top budded
in 1899 bore three good crops in sue
cession.
The experiments with pecans on this
stock are Of too recent nature to war
rant going into details, but there is
reason to believe that pecans will sue
coed on this stock equally we'll An
other advantage in using this stock, If
further experiments prove successful,
is the fact that the seed can easily be
obtained III quantities and sprouts as
easily, and it furnishes as good stand
in nursery row as will peach pits.
1t would be advisable, think, if the
experimenters in other parts of our
country which are naturally adapted
to nut growing would carry on expert
ments along this line | forgot to say
that my experiments clearly point out
that in using rupestris stock there is
danger of cross polarization.
In one of the trees small limb was
left unbudded In the first year when
the scions bore this limb was small
and bore no catkins; the Persian wal
nuts were of a paper shell variety, the
same as on the parent tree from which
the scions were taken The following
year, when the unbudded limb had
grown larger and borne both nuts and
catkins, the pollen of the wild stock
clearly brought about change as to
the size, shape and thickness of shell
of the Persian walnut, practically pro-
ducing a hybrid.-G. A. Schattenberg.

on so many public questions" And yet
why should they not be? We have long
been told that the farmer should think
more for himself and not let some one
else do his thinking for him. There are
evidences that the farmer is getting his
eyes open to the situation and is think
ing and acting for himself and his
own interests more than ever before.

The attitude of the grange toward

oranges to procure a working agricul-

agricultural scholarships at Cornell,

purpose was increased to $500.

Mrs. Winnie Browne of Deloit
won the beautiful upright piano given
by the Wyckoff Piano Co. in its great
word contest. The contest caused
widespread interest throughout the
county and answers came from every

by the fact that Mrs. Browne has
already received her piano and is now
enjoying its beautiful music and all
this free of cost to her. Other prizes
won in this contest will be announced
