Treatment of Cows In Fly Time.

The annoyance from flies worries the
cows, and worry causes shrinkage, but
the greater damage is done through
their refusing to eat during the time the
flies persecute them. l have followed
three plans: using night pasture.
OF late wears the 80 called horn fly has
troubled more or less. This fy has
condemnatory habit worse than the Or
dinary flies, in that 1t roosts on the AMI.
NAL all night and is constantly at the old
stand ready for business. l have fought
it by shading the barn windows with
perhaps one exception, and hanging a
burlap curtain over the doorway. As
the cows rush in nearly all the flies are
moved with a feeling of precaution and
abandon the COWS at the doorway.
Others are swept off willy-nilly, and the
few remaining, If any, are easily remov-
ed with a brush or switch. They make
for the light at the partially exposed
window and you proceed to milk free
from fly annoyance. The cows give
down all right, and are turned out free
from flies to eat in the night pasture.
If we always keep in mind that 1t is
semi-starvation more than loss OF blood
We shall more intelligently prevent
shrinkage. If we feed well, or rather,
If the cows eat sufficient of good food,
they will hold out well in fly time.

the milk would seriously decrease be-
cause the time spent in budding Is q
time of enforced cessation from feeding
Then if they are brought up to milk az
it grows cooler they are taken from pas
ture too soon to fill themselves. il

Position Of Prince Albert, Royal

A woman looked up with laugh
from heavy volume she was reading.
"Now I know" she said, "why Queen
Victoria was 80 fond Of the prince con-

her as lmmeasurably his superior, say

She then read from her book In a
sarcastic voice:
Ny Dear Duke-In the question whether
II is advisable that l should take the

For Grass Land.

What kind of fertilizer shall l use for
top-dressing for grass? The land is very
sandy, and dries out very quickly after
rain. have been using equal parts OF
nitrate of soda, dissolved ground bone,
muriate of potash, 200 lbs. each per acre,
which is very expensive. Could you tell
me of anything to use that is less ex-
peusive? Also, what kind of fertilizer
would you use in seeding down with
grass where the soil is good? Barn ma
nure seems to bring in q good many
weeds. What kind of grass seed would
you advise sowing, and how much to
the acre? 1t seems impossible to get
clean seed. W. B. C. For light, sandy
soils, quick to dry out, there is no ma
nure equal to barnyard, full of weed
seeds as it is. The weed seeds may be
at least partly done away with by pro-
viding the manure far enough in advance
to let it lie and rot in the pile for three
or four months, which rotting will kill
the weed seeds or reduce them to very
low termination. Such soils are hard to
get into paying meadow, and when once
the sod is we'll established, it ought not
to be plowed up until it is decided to
keep the field in other crops for many
years. Plenty of well-rotted barnyard
manure is the best thing to apply, and
there is nothing that approaches 1t in
value. Where manure is not Obtainable,
resort should be had to commercial
fertilizers. Nitrate of soda is almost a
specific for this crop, but is comparative.
ly useless without plenty of potash and
phosphoric acid. The amounts Of these
materials to be applied depend upon the
purse of the owner. In Rhode Island
and Massachusetts, they have found it
pays to put on as high or even higher
than 200 lbs. per acre of the nitrate
accompanied by approximately equal
weights of phosphates and potash.
Cheaper materials can be recommended,
but not material worth more for the
money put into them.-Country Gentle

Absurdity Of Titles That Dssss1o

When you find q man a most excel
lent runner, poet, surgeon or mariner,
you give him due respect for his skill.
II he is very eminent, his occupation
esteemed and you chance to be some
ruling power, he may receive q title.
You do not confer this title because
of his grandmother, and you do not
make the old lady duchess or indeed
pay her any particular attention. This
omission does not reflect dlscredit on
the grandmother. 1t Is obvious to her
mind that to make her a peeress be-
cause not she, but some one else, has
done something good" would be as
absurd as giving her twelve months
hard labor II he had done something
otherwise.
Still less rational would 1t be to make
the mans son a peer. The old lady
has given the world this grandson.
Perhaps she is In measure the cause
OF his greatness, just as sne mlBns po
to a certain extent responsible were
he criminal. But the son Of the man
did not make his father. He is not to
be more greatly praised for what bis
father has done than for what William
the COnquerOr did.
The world seldom or never gives
man a title because his father earned
one, but it does IN equally silly thing
when 1t allows son to inherit such an
honor" says Home Notes.

Hungarian for Dairy Cattle.

l have been growing this valuable
crop for the past six years and my cows
like it so well and do SO we'll on 1t,
would not think Of letting season 60
by without raising one or two acres OF
it. If farmers only knew the value OF
hungarian as milk maker, they would
all grow it. Another strong point In
favor of growing hungarian (which we
small farmers do not lose sight of, Is
after all the other spring planting is
done and out of the way, one can SOW
hungarian, say about June 20; this for
curing into hay for fall and winter feed
ing. If you want to feed 1t as green
fodder, SOW it earlier. Hungarian is
quick growing, maturing in 90 to 70
days. 1t is hot weather plant and
does best on warm land. The advan-
tage of feeding as hay is twofold, as you
are feeding hay and grain at the same
time. The head of the hungarian 10 full
of grain, it thereby saves big grain bill
at the store. l consider it cuts down
one-half the grain bill and the other one
half you can cut down to practically
nothing by raising oats and peas, yellow
corn and turnips, etc.
As many of us farmers know too we'll,
we leave the bulk of our cream checks
at the store to pay our feed bill, which
is all wrong and not necessary. The
land in Maine is naturally adapted to the
growing of large crops of yellow corn
and oats and peas and hungarian. Ii
one thinks he must have cOttOnseed or
gluten, buy little to mix in with the
home grown feeds. What we small
farmers need to do is to keep more live
stock (keep the tie-up fulD, to make
more dressing to grow these crops and
buy less grain and fertilizer.
For hungarian, break up a piece OF
land in fall. The next spring put on
barn dressing if you have it to spare; If
not, use high-grade fertilizer, 500
pounds to acre. But barn dressing will
give you the largest crop. Harrow the
land often; make it fine before you put
seed in. l use one bushel seed-to an
acre when sowing it alone, but if seed
ing down three-quarters bushel is
enough.
The homemade lump crusher or drag
does good work in crushing the Jumps
and making the land fine and in good
shape for seed. Some of my best
catches of clover were seeded with hun
garian. use spike-tooth to harrow in,
as spring-tooth puts under too deep.
Roll the land. When all headed out
and seed plump and full grown, cut and
cure as hay. Once day is often enough
to feed hungarian; the cows like it and
do we'll on it. 1t will save you half
your grain bill. Why experiment with
alfalfa when hungarian is sure crop and
you can count on tons to the acre If land
is we'll dressed and well narrowed!
