CALVES ON SKIM MILK.
imals by Nebraska Expert
ment Station.

Eight calves formed a group at the
Nebraska experiment station, and each
OF the three groups was fed on a ra-
tiOn similar to the ratiOns of the other
groups except in the butter-fat substi-
tGte.
The calves were fed for six months
and records kept Of gain il weight,
amount of mood given. and cost Of ra-
ton.
The conclusions Of the experiment
were as follows:
Linseed meal is not only an excellent
food for replacing butter fat in skim
milk for calf feeding, but also an eco
nOmical food in comparison with 9th
ers. Corn-germ oil meal gave about as
good results as linseed meal and may
be recommended as a calf food.
Corn oil in this test proved too ex-
rensive and required too much work
for profitable calf rearing. A two per
cent. oil mixture proved rather laXa-
tive for obtaining the best results.
The calves fed linseed meal and
cOrn-germ oil meal were in good con-
ditiOn at the end of the test and most

TREES ON PRAIRiES.
Bureau of Forestry Doing Good Work
in This Direction Better
Methods in Use.

In the states of the middle west
there is pressing need of more trees,
both for wood and for windbreaks and
sheiter-be1ts. This need has been felt
since the prairies were first settled, but
the attempts made to supply it have.
as a rule, fallen short of the benefits
which might have been secured. The
early planting was done chiefly for the
sake of ornament or shade; the useful
ness of the species for WooG was sell
dom considered. In many cases, also
trees were planted outside OF the range
to which they were adapted, and on
soil and in locations unfavorable TO
them. On the other hand many valu-
able species were neglected
Experience has now furnished the
basis for better practice. Various kinds
Ct trees can be grown in these regions

same time will furnish valuable wood

FrOm these measurements volume and

dition to the measurements, the char

OF the trees are noted, and valuable
data on the natural distribution and ad-

tree planting has been done in some of
these states, occasionally with COM
rlete success; but there have been
many total failures, and many at
tempts successful only in part. AS a
rule. the lack of success was due to
lack of knowledge how and what to
plant. But these plantations, whether
successful or not, provide valuable OBJ

THE TIME TO PLAN.
The Work of the Farmer Should Be
Planned Months Ahead-Time
to Buy Seed.

The time to plan farm work is sew
eral months ahead of each crop that
is to be grown. The lack of planning
is responsible for many of the failures
in farming. If the planning is done
too near the time of planting crop,
it will be found that something is in
the way, that something has been over
looked. Thus, in the purchase of seed
for the corn, wheat, oats and other
grain crops of next year it will not do
to wait till midwinter before laying
all plans If seed is to be purchased
from a distance it is not always easy
to get it, when the scotsman must
send it out in company with a great
multitude of other orders. 1t is neces-
Sary TO send in the orders early, SO
that the farmer may have time to
make termination tests to ascertain If
the seed is up to the required standard
in germinability. If it is not, the farm
er may have to send to another place
for seed, which, will in turn have to be
sested.
In the sowing Of clover seed, plans
should be laid early. 1t will not be
safe to wait till the middle Of the win
ter before ordering the seed. In some
localities the practice is general of
sowing On the snow. and in that case
March Will be the month in some locaIi-
ties and February in other localities
farther south. II the seed is ordered
late it may not arrive till after the de-
sirable conditions have gone. 1t must
in addition be tested before being sown
and this requires some time.
The more skillful man is in plan
ming his work, says the Farmers Re
view. the more likely is he to be sue
cessful in the work of the farm. Ii
large establishments in the city, plans
are often made years in advance and
worked as carefully as one would work
to q certain pattern in weaving a car
pet or other fabric This is absolutely
necessary in some enterprises. Busi-
ness should go like clockwork and the
farm is business place. There should
be on it more bookkeeping and more
planning of all work in advance.

none the worse for it. but during the

outgrow the others both in foliage and

from the parent stalk, this particular
specimen developed two suckers" near
it's roots, each of which grew into a
perfect stalk and each of which bore
a fine ear of corn.
The stalk is in three pieces and each
section bears a fine ear of corn.
Those who have studied agriculture
and who have examined the specimen,
say that it was perfectly healthy and
was allowed to ripen and is now be
ing preserved by Prof. Dyer as a sin
@uiar example OF agricultural freaks.
The ears are large, heavy, well
grained and perfectly formed in every
particular. Although the stalks are so
thin that they hardly seemed capable
of bearing the heavy ears, they Gprout-
ed to a height of more than five feet
and were healthy throughout.
On the longest stalk of all which
seems so slender that it hardly ap
pears as if it could bear a heavy
weight. is ,ne largest ear OF the trio
1t is close to one foot in length and
is of unusual thickness.
One stalk, in the same field, bore

of corn, and who has turned out as
fine a field Of the grain as could be

yiOus floor. The benefits derived fror2
such a floor when properly constructed
are:
/. The animals are more comfortable
and hence more profitable.
,. The manure may be saved and ap-
piled to the land without loss.
3. Stables are cleaned with less effort
(. Cleaner milk is produced which
commands higher price.
One of the great leaks on the farm is
the constant loss in fertility occasiOneG
by the wasting If manure. When the
liquid as well as the solid manure finds
a ready escape through cracks and knot
holes, with no means of regaining it,
the possible profits of the farm are
greatly reduced
These are usually laid in one Of two
ways, either close to the ground upon
stringers imbedded in the earth. OF
upon jOists allowing a circulation zt
air between the floor and the earth. The
greatest objection to wooden floors is
the fact that they often give out from
decay rather than from wear. If the
floor is kept either constantly saturated
with moisture or entirely dry. it will last
for a long time. but when it contains
certain amount Of moisture, the growth
0f mOlds is encouraged which cause de-
cay. Wooden floors are fairly satisfac-
tory in cheap barns if laid with proper
slope toward cutters TO insure being
kept reasonably free from moisture
and having sufficient circulation Of air
beneath to keep them dry. They mast

GIRpLING GRAPEVINES.
What One Vineyardist Has to Say
Regarding the Method as
Used by Him.

l have girdled grapevines and seen it
done for about 40 years, since was a
small boy; my father has done it nearly
every year The effect is not SO marked,
l think, if a large branch is girdled as
when it is a small one The theory Of
girdling, as | have 1t, is that the sap of
the grape passes up through the wood
and down between wood and bark. The
proper time for the operation is from
June 25 to July 5. Take, for instance, a
branch like A, remove the bark clean
or it will do no good. B shows bark re-
