GIVE THE HORSES A CHANGE.

Admitting that oats are the natural food
IF horses and that they thrive on them
better than any other grain especially
when they are on the road, still the horses
need much more in the way of variety
than we are in the habit of giving them.
The usual feeds of hays and oats or OF
corn and oats can be varied more or less
according to the work of the horse and
what one has to feed. Al this time of the
year when all farm horses are doing hard
work the oats must be the mainstay, but
If there is any possible chance for the ami
mails to have a few hours at pasture they
should be placed there. Try this plan in
the grain feeding: Give them a mixture OF
oats and corn meal, two-thirds oats, at
one meal, then whole oats another meal.
The next day let the ration be ground oats,
corn and bran then another meal of corn.

let the ration be of bran and oats. Vary

THE OYSTER sHELL SCALE.

III W 0SALG.
While the oyster shell scale Is not so for
nidable as the San Jose scale it IS never
theiess a pest one should get rid of as
quickly as possible. 1t is not SO small as
the San Jose scale hence is more readily
distinguishable; 1t is rather fiat and Is
found in clusters near the joining of the
twigs of trees looking very much like a
miniature piece Of oystershel. 1t is par
tcularly bad on shrubbery and on orna-
mental trees and ough to be fought with
vigor. While the best remedy is rigorous
pruning before the buds open and then a
thorough washing with whaleoil soap mix
ture, something can be done even now to
eradicate It by the use of the spray of
bordeaux or of the whale oil soap mixture.
# the effected tree or shrub is small 1t
will not be difficult work to go over the
branches with brush wet with the whale
oil soap mixture and apply 1t vigorously
at all joints.
SOME POTATO POINTS.
Expert potato growers rightly say that,
next to good seed, cultivated and spraying
means success in any normal season. The
trouble with most of us is that we do not
begin .he cultivation and the spraying
sufficiently early. The weeds get ahead
of us and before we have fully done what
spraying Is necessary to subdue the posi-
BILE rot the bugs are eating the vines AS
1t is necessary under the modern plan of
planting the seed rather shallow: in using
the cultivatcr the soil is thrown toward
the hill a little at each cultivation so that
as the tubers grow they are sufficiently
we'll covered. About the middle OF June,
IN the middle states, spraying is begun and
1t is kept up SO that from six to ten spray
ings are given the plants depending upon
the season. That it pays to spray IS
proven by the fact that the cost is less
than IS an acre when done by approx ed
methods while the returns are from Is to
Is bushels an acre more than from plots
not sprayed. The cost for spraying covers
material and labor. but does not cover the
cost of the apparatus which must be con-
,sidered as an investment.
CLOTH IN PLACE OF GLASS.
In almost any section where the climate
is not too severe 1t is believed that the
heavy oiled cloth or unbleached muslin
can be used in place Of glass on poultry
houses. By this plan one can have more
light in poultry houses at less expense and
do away witt, the danger incident to freez-
ing houses on winter nights because Of
the expanse Of glass. Further, one can go
arrange these cloth covered sashes that
they can be used during the summer and
thus enable one to shut out the storm and
wind when necessary and still keep the
house perfectly cool which could not be
done with the glass. 1t is by no means a
good plan to have an entirely open house
through the summer II one can avoid 1t
The Black Hills union and western stock review. [volume] (Rapid City, S.D.) 1904-19??, 1906-06-15

! for aside from the danger from small
animals or thieves there is the greater
danger Of draughts which are often as bad
for fowls during the days when 1t rains as
during the fall and winter weather. II one
has the cloth covered sashes. with the
wire netting on the outside, it is not diff
cult to shut out storm and yet not make
the house over warm which would likely
be the case II glass was used. Try the
plan Of the cloth covered sashes for sum-
mer and you will like them SO well you
will want to fit the winter houses with
| them.
A GOOD HOG CROSS.
! Whatever may have been the failures
with the much Landed Tamworth as a
bacon hog the fact remains that it is an
| excellent breed for this purpose and also
that the demand for the bacon hog is
greatly on the increase. On the other
hand, all do not succeed with the Tam
worths. probably because they have not
yet learned Its peculiarities. With the
Berkshire and the Yorkshire breeds most
hog raisers are familiar and cross of the
two makes Il splendid bacon hog using
the Yorkshire boar and the Berkshire
sows. The Yorkshire is not so well known
as the Berkshire, but the best points of the
breed are their color, white, their sturdi-
ness and rapidity of growth and that they
are remarkably prolific. They do well un-
DER adverse conditions and when proper
ly treated are superior to even the cross
although, until one becomes more familiar
with the breed, the cross with the Berk-
shire would be more satisfactory. 1t is be-
lieved by those who are in a position to
know that the day of the very fat hog is
gone; at least the demand from all
sources, packers and consumers is for
what Is known as the bacon hog, more
lean and less fat so that it is certainly
ha
highest market price. Moreover, 1t IS cas-
Ter to feed for a bacon hog If one has the
breed or the cross which will most readily
produce the sort Of flesh wanted

MILKING in THE PAsTuRE.

While the plan of milking in the pasture
is not the most desirable one, it is so gen.
orally practiced that one ought to go to
considerable trouble to get as much COM
fort out Of 1t as possible. One Of the best
ways Of doing this is to select some place
IN the pasture where the cows will be will
ing to stand quiet; place as free from
Vermin and moisture as possible good
plan Is to have large shed open on three
sides into which the cows may be driven
and tied each one having a portion of the
days ration before her to keep her busy
while you are milking. Even little hay
VIII answer the purpose no matter how
good the pasture is. Have a comfortable
seat for the mixer. a place where the
large can of milk may be put without dam
ger of its being soiled and plenty of clean
utensils In case Of an accident to one. BY
far the better plan is to have the dairy
shed near the barns where the cows can
be MIXED and fed in comfort and where
they may pass the night comfortably with
out danger of fright by prowing dogs
Such shed can be made as airy as one
likes by the use of openings of good size
covered with wire netting as coarse as the
smallest mesh used for poultry fences. In
this way all the things needed are near at
hand and the work Is much better and
easier done than in the pasture
