Cow Stalls,

1t should be made a point with ev-
cry dairyman to do everything in his
power for the physical comfort and
well being of his COWS. One thing we
are sure most Of the keepers Of cows
could make an improvement in, and
this is in the arrangement Of their
stalls. Give the cows more room, and
at the same time shut each COW off
from her neighbor, so that there shall
be no tramping on udders and teats.
The usefulness of a great many cows
is put to an end through this sort OF
carelessness, and the worst of it is
that it is generally ascribed to some
other cause. Make your cows safe and
comfortable, says American Cultivator,
and it will be discovered that they will
do you better service every day you
have them and that their term of serv-
ice will be very much heightened on
the average.

What Overripe Hay Lacks.

The trouble with overripe or dam
aged hay is lack of palatability and,
worse than this, indigestibility, re-
marks writer in New England Home
stead 1t bears the same relation to
good hay that a skim cheese does to
full cream cheese. You eat the former
and never want to see its kind again.
Chemical analysis does not discover
the trouble, but the stomach does. The
city feeder is a much better judge Of
quality Yin hay than the farmer, be-
cause he looks for results. There has
been less Improvement along this than
any other line of farm work. 1t should
be a question of how good as well as
how much. 1t is easy to cause a depre-
citation of 33 or even so per cent in
feeding value. The worst feature is
the guilty party does not appear to no

HAIRY VETCH.

sistant to cold 1t will ordinarily sur
vive the winter in most parts of the
United States and in Canada. In fact,
1t is more resistant to cold than any
other annual legume grown. On this
account it Is particularly valuable in
the north, according to the bureau Of
plant industry. In the Connecticut
valley it has received much favor as
winter green manure and cover crop
on tobacco lands. Where the winter
temperature is not cool enough to
prevent growing, as In California, it
has been found that hairy vetch grows
much more slowly in cool weather than
the common vetch, and the latter Is
therefore preferred. Hairy vetch,
however, grows very rapidly as the
weather becomes warm.
Vetches are somewhat Objectionable
where small grains are used in rota-
ton, as they become somewhat weedy
In grainfields. Except for this, vetches
are very valuable crop and deserve
much more extensive cultivation.
AS rule, hairy vetch can be safely
sown from the 18th Of August to
the 10th of September, says an au-
thority on this subject. When grown
as a cover crop it should be sown alone.

Sowing Crimson Glover.

Crimson clover gives the best re-
suits when sown in late summer, pref
erably from July 15 to Sept. 1. 1t is
most commonly planted in corn or fol-
lowing a small grain crop. In the lat
ter case the land should be plowed and
put i'll good condition before seeding.
Considerable difficulty is often expert
enced in obtaining a stand of crimson
clover. Indeed, it is a common saying
that it must be sown between showers
in order to be assured of a stand. 1t
is important always to use fresh seed,
as the terminating power deteriorates
rapidly. Ordinarily twelve to fifteen
pounds per acre are used, but good re-
suits have been obtained with smaller
quantities. In some cases the failure
to obtain a stand has been attributed
to the lack Of incubation. In any
event 1t is always desirable to inocu-
late the seed or the soil before plant
ing on land for the first time. Even ii
stand is only obtained two times out
of three, crimson clover Is still very
profitable crop to grow.-C. V. Piper.

STACKING WHEAT.
Loss to Farmers From Leaving Grain
In the Shock.

Loss to Farmers From Leaving Grain
In the Shock.
Years ago it was a common custom
to stack the wheat as soon as it was
well cured in the shock. but gradually
this custom was abandoned until in
many parts of the country it was
rare sight to see stack.
Learning From Experience.
Of recent years a reaction seems to
be slowly taking place and stacking Is
again coming into fashion. according to
writer in American Agriculturist. a
The reason for this is not in doubt.
1t is the bitter and costly experiences
that have come home to farmers
through leaving their grain in the
shock until the machine came around.
Of course, when nobody stacked and
the thrashing season occupied six
weeks or more majority of the crops
were necessarily left standing in the
shock for weeks, exposed to storms
and winds.
In Midsummer.
Now, of course, while it is fact that
rainy seasons in July are uncommon,
lHey are oi SuuIcleuuy regular OccuI-
renee to make the damage they inf1ict
far outweigh the cost Of annually
stacking or storing the grain.
Protecting the Crop.
Stacking can be carried on every mo-
ment of the day that the wheat is dry
enough to handle. If the stack is un-
completed at night or when a shower
comes up it can be covered with tar
paulin. With his grain once safely in
the stack the farmer is Independent of
the weather and the machine boss and
can go about his other work serenely
conscious that he has done his duty in
safeguarding his principal cash crop.

LOW DOWN BARROW.
Its Capacity Is Double That of the
Ordinary Kind,

The drawing shows low down bar
row in sufficient detail to enable any
one to make similar one. We think
that next to the low down cart it is
the handiest thing around the build
fngs and garden that we have, says a
writer in Farm and Fireside. Its ca
pacity is more than double that of the
ordinary kind, and the load is much
more easily put aboard. 1t has the
advantage of getting into close quar-
ters where the cart would not go, and
for use about the feeding alleys, the
stable, the lawn and the garden there
is hardly anything that will take its
place.

CARE OF CALVES.
Why Seven Guernsey Heifers Were
Sold at Good Prices.

SoiQ at GCOC FFlCSSs
In March last two men came into
this neighborhood looking for grade
dairy calves, says a correspondent of
Hoard's Dairyman. They were men
who knew what they wanted. They
purchased seven grade Guernsey heif-
ers, dropped last fail, of one man and
paid him an average of S242S for the
lot. At the same time they said they
could purchase calves of the same
breeding and age of neighboring farm
ers for from SO to SIS apiece.
What made this difference in price?
Simply the way the calves were ham
died. The seven calves were handled
as follows:
They We're kept dry and clean with
plenty of fresh bedding every night
and their quarters well kept, well dis
infected.
They were fed skim milk, fresh from
the separator, after the first ten days.
with little ground f1axseed and blooc
meal added
When the milk was fed they We're
put in stanchions and the milk set be-
fore them in pals. Afterward they
were given a small feed of oats, fol-
lowed by alfalfa hay. But the great
care was to keep them dry and clean.
AS soon as they were through eating
their oats they were let out Of the
stanchions and ran together loose in
the compartment.
They were fed milk morning and
evening. When sold they were in
fine, clean condition, but not fat.
They. consumed apiece in the six
months they were kept about $500
pounds of skim milk, 81 worth of oats,

Feeding Milk Cattle.

Green food seems to demand more
salt than dry. 1t does not cost much.
The cows should have all they will
use. The COW of good milking strain,
with a good appetite, will do ner best
if she has plenty Of variety in feed
which she enjoys. The more food con-
sumed the more milk she will give.
Feeding Alfalfa Hay.
At an experiment station it was
found that the cost of producing milk
and butter could be greatly reduced
by replacing part of the concentrates
in the daily ration of the COW, with
some roughness rich in protein, such as
alfalfa or cowpea hay. In substitut-
ing alfalfa hay for wheat bran it will
be best in practice to allow one and
one-half pounds of alfalfa to each
pound of wheat bran, and if the alfalfa
is fed in a finely chopped condition the
results will prove more satisfactory.
Dry Feed In Summer.
Cows seem to long for dry feed in
summer and even when in luxuriant
pasture will eat considerable hay of
very common quality If it is supplied
them night and morning in the barn.
Dry hay is an excellent regulator of
the diet and should be furnished as
long as the cows will eat it. With
fair amount of dry feed the pasture
will maintain an increased amount of
stock in full yield of milk.
The Silo Question.
The silo provides a feed that COWS
will eat freely because it tastes good,
not because they are starved to 1t,
said a noted dairyman. If dried corn
were considered as good as canned corn
we wonder why some of our factories
pay out $125,0OO or more per season
fer tin cans, all of them to be thrown
in the ditch when emptied. In like
manner, If dry fodder is as good and
valuable as silage, why do the best
aafrymen all over the country buy
silos? They are keen business men-in
fact, the business men are the first to
see the silo merits.
Cow Ration.
A well known eastern dairyman says:
For cows weighing 1000 pounds and
giving 25 pounds of per cent milk
daily ration consisting of % pounds
silage, 10 pounds mixed hay, 4 pounds
each corn and oats and 1 pound of
cottonseed meal would be about right.
