them, but the walters unanimously

Oueer Weather Eorecastinn.

one of the rites performed by the
French peasants OH New Years eve is
the forecasting of the weather for the
coming year by means of onions.
When the bells ring for midnight mass
they scoop out the middies of twelve
onions. set them in Il row on the
kitchen table, ill them with salt and
name them for the months OF the year
Then when they return from mass they
examine the condition of the salt. If
it has melted in any of the months" :"
those months will be rainy; if the salt
remains dry. it indicates drought; If
half melted, the first fortnight of the
month will be wet. The peasants have
such implicit faith in this means of
foretelllng the weather that they plant
their crops in accordance with the
prophecy Of the onions.

Dairy Cows Economic Feed.

When 1t Is considered that the same
foodstuffs fed to cows produces very
much more nutrlment In the shape OF
milk than when fed for beef 1t is seen
why the dairy industry is so important.
As stated in the work on feeding by
Professor III. r. Smith of the Nebraska
station, "G4 per cent or more energy is
expended by the steer in celebrating
food in the form of meat than is ex-
pended by the COW in celebrating the
same quantity in the form of milk"
OF course 1t must be understood that
the kinl of COW to do this must be Of
the dairy type.

More mistakes are made in the CON
structlon of manure trenches than in
any other simple feature connected
with COW stalls. If less than eight
inches deep, cows will stand with
their hind feet in them and will step
into them in passing in and out. If
eight to ten inches deep, cows soon
learn to step over them, and very few
cows will stand with their hind feet
in them. The trench should be wide
enough to admit scoop shovel. and
this means fifteen to eighteen inches
wide Trenches of this size will hold
two days denominations, which in
case of storms Is a great convenience.

other parts or the worm IRE pressure
Is ascertalned each day at numerous
stations. The barometer readings, ex-
pressed in inches Of mercury, are tele-
graphed to u central point and there
charted on map. The exact regions
where the pressure is high or low
may then be seen at a glance. 1t has
been learned from such observations
that these areas are constantly moving
eastward at an average rate Of about
600 miles per day.
Technically the low pressure areas
are called cyclones" and the high
pressure areas "antlcyclones." They
are frequently 1000 or more miles In
diameter. The little storms of great
destructive force so often called cy-
clones are really tornadoes.
The higher the pressure In any par
ticular region relative to some other
region the greater will be the velocity
of the wind. The winds blow much
faster In winter than in summer, be-
cause the greater contrasts of tempera
ture cause more decided differences in
pressure
Observations demonstrate, however.
that the wind never blows In straight
lines, because all bodies of air when
I'm motion are acted upon by law Of
nature called the "defecting force Of
the earth's rotation" This force turns
all wind to the right of its course In
the northern hemisphere and to the
left in the southern.
Thus If wind in our hemisphere
starts north 1t Is soon turned slowly
toward the northeast, or If it starts
west it will soon turn toward the
northwest. When it is remembered
that at the equator the earth Is rotat-
ing at the enormous velocity of 1,035
miles an hour, one will not wonder that
such DETECTING force could exist. All
areas Of high and low pressure, from
whatever cause, therefore become
whirling masses of air. and little
thought will show that they must turn
in opposite directions. In the north
ern hemisphere the low areas, or
lows" as they are designated on the
weather map, always rotate in dl-
rection contrary to that Of the hands

SiIaue For Beef Cattle.

Feeders of beef cattle have always
had a prejudice against silage. Re-
cent experiments have shown that
steers will make an excellent growth
if fed some rich feed along with corn
sIage and will gain quite as fast as
when on good pasture. The dairy type
steer is not so profitable for beef, as
he shows low dressing percentage
and high percentage of offal. Fat on
the internal organs increases the
weight of the cheaper parts. The beef
steer puts on fat on the higher priced
cuts.

Milk Fever Prevention.

Experiments in the feeding Of car
rots, beets and small potatoes to cows
show that milk fever is less liable to
occur when cows are fed literally on
root crops than when they are con-
fined to hay and grain. No corn should
be given six weeks before calving.
Linseed meal may be allowed with the
hay, which should be cut fine and the
linseed meal sprinkled over it.
