Silage is a starchy food very succu-
lent-and gives you practically all the
carbonaceous material necessary for
your ration, but some additional
starchy food, like hominy feed and
pure scornmeaI, can be fed to advan-
tage under certain conditions. It is
needless to mention the value of clover
in furnishing you a portion of your
roughage and protein. While your
cows are being stall fed silage morn
ing and evening, with clover at noon
for your roughage, | consider along
the line of correct feeding for dairy
profits With this combination you
win need to buy only the concentrated
feeds to supply the necessary protein
for you must back up the milking
ability In your cows with sufficient
protein, otherwise your best mixers
will fall far below the standard they
would maintain if they We're fed a
ration containing plenty of protein.
You would hardly expect race horse
to go his fastest pace on a corn feed
or expect hogs to fatten rapidly with
out corn, and you must not expect your
dairy cows to produce their largest
flow of milk on feeds deficient in pro-
TEN. The concentrated feeds known
as byproducts coming from our large
manufacturing establishments furnish
this digestible protein in the best form
for feeding purposes. Some are bet
ter than others, being cheaper and
safer. | am going to recommend the
use of dried brewers grains in which
TO obtain the digestible protein neces-
sary to balance up the ration for your
dairy cows.
For practical and economical feeding
results l would suggest ration of
two-thirds brewers grains with one
third crushed corn and hominy feed,
and Of this feed all the way from
eight to twelve pounds daily, varying
the amount for the individual COW ac-
cording to her milk producing ability
and her digestive and assimilating pow
ers, as you have been able to judge
them, for only you, the owner Of the
COW, and not |, stranger, can give
any definite recommendations as to the
quantity to feed the Individual cow.
But do not fail to feed your cows
enough to give them chance at least
to work their best for you. Most any
cow can and Will digest enough food to
live on. It's the cow that can do that
and then digest enough more to en-
able her to keep giving large flow Of
milk that will show you profitable re-
turns. And the cow that cannot do
that is not a good dairy cow, and you
should not keep her in your herd. But
if you have cows that can do 1t and
you do not give them sufficient feed to
do it on, then you are the loser and the
one to blame.-J. w. Anderson Before

The Pure Bred Sire.

Grade cows are all right l would
advise the purchase in many instances,
but the grade bull has no place on the
dairy farm. He may be ever so ex-
cellent, and he may come from the best
family, but it is seldom advisable to
keep him, says a writer in KimbalPs
Dairy Farmer. In the first place, he is
apt to transmit the undesirable traits
of his plebeian ancestors just as readily
as the good traits of his more desirable
ancestors. | believe that If one cannot
start in the dairy business with full
blooded males and females he ought to
have thoroughbred sire at least. In
few years it will be an easy matter
to get choice herd by breeding and
selecting carefully

MiIkinq Stools.

Every milking stable should be fitted
up with plenty of good milking stools
and proper places to keep them. II is
astonishing how some dairymen man
age to get along year after year with
the makeshifts that are found in sta
bles. Rickety old boxes that are black
with filth, broken stools of almost any
type or variety, and no place to keep
them out Of the dirt or out Of the way.
It is easy to make a good milking
stool, and the cost is not great. With
the proper material and few. hours
time a good comfortable lot of stools
may be easily provided.

Extremely Rude.

with great glee of a conversation that
took place between Boston lady and
an Oklahoma man with reference to
things western.

homan, chat you've travelled consider

"Quite a good DEAL" answered the
Bostonian '1As far west as California
and Nevada, and I've spent some time

'sHaye you ever seen the Cherokee
Strip" suddenly asked the Oklahoma
person.
Thereupon ensued a painful silence.
1t was plainly to be seen that the Bos-
ton lady was much embarrassed. When
she had in manner recovered her
composure, she observed:

Neither red clover nor alfalfa should
be sown on land on which water will
stand any considerable length of time
after rain. On such low and poorly
drained soils alsike is the proper Ie-

A crop rotation which includes clover
not only means a conservation of the
fertility of the soil, but it means that
the cultivated fields can be kept free
from weeds with far less effort than
is required under a system in which
clover forms no part. There is adyan-
tage every way in the growing of the
leguminous crop.

The fellow who loafs on his en-
ployer's time just because he isn't
watched is in all essential aspects as
dishonest as If he fllched his money
outright, for he is very plainly getting
money under false pretenses for labor
which he does not perform. There is
altogether too much haziness touching
the ethics involved in this matter.

Since, as rule, quite per cent of
sweet pea seed from even the best
houses seems to be defective or lack
ing in yigor, it is well to sow the seed
rather generously. This may be done
just as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. The seed should be planted at
depth Of five or six inches, the soil
being enriched with sprinkling of
wood ashes or well rotted manure.
Just before the plants break through
the ground 1t is well to rake the sur
face thoroughly, SO as to break any
crust that may have formed.

Provided soil conditions are at all
favorable there is no tool on the farm
that is as good as the harrow for the
killing Of weeds in the corn, bean or
potato field In the few days immedi-
ately after the seed is sown. A lapse
of three or four days will allow the
weed seed to get nicely terminated,
and If the harrow is then put on and
kept going until time for the seed to
come through the ground an amount
of weed killing will have been done
that it would take weeks to do with the
shovel cultivator

An incident of very rare occurrence
for the season of the year was the
death of hundreds of hogs from the
heat as they were being shipped to the
Chicago stockyards during the warm
spell in March. A temperature of

If your fields were pretty weedy last
year go and have talk with your
neighbor and find out how he likes the
knife or surface cultivator. While it
does not do good work If the soil is
wet, it is by all odds the most effective
and satisfactory tool when the soil is
mellow, killing lots of weeds-morning
glories, wild roses, milkweeds, ETC.
that the shovel cultivator will hardly
touch.
Careful tests prove beyond question
that as a feed alfalfa is superior to
wheat bran for milk cows, brood sows
and young pigs. 1t is to be hoped that
the variety Of Siberian alfalfa brought
to this country by Professor Hansen of

may prove to be adapted to the north
