Oat Hay for Dairy Cows.

Oats and peas grown together and har-
vested when the oats are in the early
milk stage make forage crop very
much superior to oats alone for either
hay, soiling, or silage, according to Prof.
C. ID. Woods of Maine. AS peas are q
leguminous plant, they increase the pro-
tein of the fodder, and also improve the
soil BY leaving behind, in their roots
and stubble, part Of the nitrogen
which they take from the air. By grow
ing the mixture then, both the fodder
and the soil are improved, whereas II
oats are grown alone q rather poor fod-
der is obtained and the soil reduced in
fertility.
This combination makes one Of the
best soiling crops for the dairy herd in
July and August, before corn or Hun
garian is mature enough to cut. Ii the
crop is allowed to mature and the two
grains are ground together, the result
is a most excellent feed for dairy COWS
and is much used by Canadian farmers.
The chief objection to the material for
making hay is that it dries rather slowly.
The pea vines are like clover in this
respect and should be cured in much the
same man ner, in the windrOw or cock.
When well cured without too much
OK posure to moisture and sun, it makes
a fodder fully equal to our best English
hav. In case of bad weather, the silo
can be resorted to as means OF curing
for the crop, but the material should be
run through a silage cutter before en-
SLING, otherwise it is liable to be poorly
preserved.

Setting Trees.

Many farmers and fruit growers are
concerned at the present time as to the
desirability of resetting trees where 9th
ers have died out. The condition OF the
orchard has much to do with the action
taken. II old, generally speaking, it is
not a good policy to plant young trees
among the larger ones, but if the or
chard is yet young and bids fair to
bear fruit profitably for a number OF
wears the resetting of these vacant
places, If properly done, can be made a
profitable investment of time and money.
IL should be remembered that the shade
of the larger trees besides the lack OF
fertility in the soil will place the newly
planted trees ut q disadvantage. The
grower must, therefore, see to 1t that
these trees are given the very best OF
care, particularly in supplying them
with plant food. Put some well-rotted
manure in the hole. which hole should
be dug deeper and larger than is neces-
sary to plant the tree. This manure
should be covered with some fine dirt
and upon the dirt the tree can be plant
ed. Unleached wood ashes and perhaps
little commercial fertilizer would not
be thrown away il applied to the soil.
The ground should be kept thoroughly
worked fur a distance from the tree.
Unless the orchard is commercial one
with only a few varieties it would be
best to select early maturing kinds for
refilling purposes. Michigan Farmer.

Salt for Dairy Cows.

Extensive tests and Investigations
have been made by the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station for the purpose of de-
termining the advisability of adding salt
to the ration of dairy cows. As result
of these trials, 1t is recommended that
dairy COWS in Wisconsin be given at
least one ounce of salt per day. Ex.
ceptionally heavy mixers will require
more than this.
The uniform results obtained with all
cows employed in these trials indicate
beyond question that in Wisconsin and
in other regions 81 milarly located salt in
addition to that obtained in the food IL
absolutely essential to the continued
health of dairy COW, while producing
milk. 1t is evident, moreover, that the
amount of salt which must be supplied
directly will vary greatly in different
localities, it being more at high eleva'
ton and at places remote from the sea

Handling Manure.

All manure, it makes no difference
whether it is hauled in the fall, winter
or spring, should be spread at once. 1t
should never be left in piles, even for
short time, If one is to secure the
greatest benefit from its application.
This principle in the use of farm ma
nure is one not to be overlooked by the
progressive and up-to-date farmer, and
ON all farms where the best results from
manurial fertilizer are obtained the
product of the stables is distributed up
on the land as fast as it is made. The
old-time piling method is an expensive
one, not only from the standpoint of the
real value of the manure, but in the mat
ter of handling as well. When left in
piles the manure is leached by rains and
the soil enriched by it is only of limited
area, whereas, If it is finely and evenly
spread over the entire surface the bene-
fit derived is general and OF far greater
Importance.
In spreading manure, the finer it can
be made and the more evenly it can be
distributed over and through the soil,
where it may be of use to the roots of all
plants, the better results can be expect
ed from it. Because of this fact the
spreading becomes an essential element
of the successful use of barnyard ma.
nure. In the past, spreading by hand
has been the most common, and, in fact,
about the only manner of distributing
the material over the soil, but now the
machine spreader worked by horse
power is largely used and with most ex-
cellent and profitable results. Where
mechanically distributed the manure is
made very fine and reaches every foot Of
the soil, just where it is of the most use
and value. Wherever it is possible, we
believe the farmer should use manure
spreader, as it will be found one of the
best paying investments ever made up
on the farm. 1t will pay not only be-
cause it prepares and distributes the ma
nure in the best possible manner, but
because it will save much time and
labor in handling. The saving of labor
alone, where one has large quantity of
manure to apply annually, will soon 60
good way toward paying for the ma
chine, to say nothing about the great
additional gain secured from the use of
the manure itself.

Making Use Of Waste Ground.

There is more or less waste ground to
be found on every farm; ground that for
some reason IL never used, but is al
lowed to be overrun with grass and
weeds year after year. Some OF this
ground is left idle because it cannot be
conveniently reached with the pl0w; {;
some may be neglected because old wag-
ons or machines are in the way, but
whatever the causes it is fact that
the majority of farms have large
amount of waste land that might be
utilized with considerable profit, says an
exchange. The small farmer, particu-
larly, should not allow these odd bits
to 60 to waste when he might be turning
them into cash. We are learning more
and more every year the value of little
things, the necessity of conducting our
farms on a business basis, but there is
still much need of Improvement in our
methods to enable US to attain the high
est success and largest returns for our
labor.
Now, how can the waste ground on the
farm be utilized to best advantage? Not
by planting with corn, or potatoes, or
the regular farm crops. The best re-
suits are obtained by planting small
fruits and quick-growing vegetables.
Strawberries. raspberries, currants and
such vegetables as bee,s, radishes, car
rots, beans and many others will be
found satisfactory for the purpose, and
the amount of truck that these old plots
of ground will produce is astonishing.
The average forty-acre farm can pro-
duce on the land that is given up to
weeds enough small fruits and vegetables
to supply family of five throughout the
summer.
If there is land that cannot be reached
with a plow give it a coating of we'll
rotted manure, then spade it up thor.
oughly, rake it over until 1t is free from
clOds or rubbish and set out some small
fruits. Don't crowd; set far enough
apart to allow for expansion. The
plants will not take up much room the
first year, so you can utilize the ground
in between them for vegetables. Plant
enough to allow several rows, and plant
both ways, as all cultivation is done
with hoe and it is unnecessary to leave
a large space between the rows. Radish-
es and lettuce may be planted early, to
be followed by some later crop. Beets
and radishes may be grown and add sew
eral dollars to the income. These neg
lected plots have grown nothing but
weeds for some time, and the leaves,
with other decsying vegetable matter,
have made the ground mellow and in
ideal condition for growing vegetables
to perfection.
Much ground is also needlessly wasted
around the barns. 1t is all right to have
plenty of room around the barns, but
entirely too much ground is given over to
heaps of boards, rubbish and old imple-
ments. Not only are they unused, but
noxious weeds grow there unmolested,
spreading their seeds over the farm; the
piles of old boards harbor rats, weasels
and other predatory animals that work
havoc among the farm poultry; then
aside from the pecuniary conditions
these things should be done away with
for they are extremely unsightly.
