FALL FEEDING Of ALFALFA.

E. C. Hill, Of Dawson, Neb.. gives his
experience in fall feeding of alfalfa In
WaIlace's Farmer. He says:
II have alfalfa that Is now IA years old.
1t was sowed In the spring and was only
half a stand to begin with but 1t made lots
of hay. I lost one crop. I have in recent
years secured two good stands by SOW
ing in the spring, but found 1t necessary
to NOV the weeds down three different
times during the summer. Last harvest
/ had a good crop of soft wheat. Before
the wheat was tsken of the field I set
over the shocks and plowed the stubbIe
six inches deep, harroWing it every night.
We pIowed In all 10 aSfes and narrowed 1t
is different times, then we sowed our al
fa1fa broadcast at the rate of between 16
and 20 pounds of rather light seed. In FIVE
weeks the tallest plants were Ave inches
in height. I cut this crop for hay three
weeks ago ar there was not q weed in 1t,
and 1t made between q ton and a ton n
a quarter to the acre. I lave in previous
years sowed alfalfa on rye and wheat
stubble. but never got as good astand as
in this case when / sowed on the fresh
blowing. The reason I narrowed the field
SO many times is because I had no sub
surface packer and l accomplished the
same purpose by narrowing.

From the Chicago Live Stock World.
There are certain kinds OF live stock
that are undesirable for market purposes.
but farmers don't want them and they
are therefore sent to market. Thin, ema-
ciated. old hatrack cows come under this
classification. Packers are not anxious to
get them even at very low prices, and. In
fact. would rather not have them at all
and buy them at about what the hide ana
bones are worth. Lots OF cattle Of the
undesirable class are condemned and
|tanked, because they are not considered AT
Tor food. Inspection is more rigid than
IT ever has been and anything that is the
least suspicious is tagged.
At the Omaha convention a resolution
was passed to the effect h shippers be
advised to hold back all regnan AMI
mails. Female stock In this condition are
often condemned and always bought at
such a discount that the farmer suffers q
distinct loss. Sows are locked 40 pounds
and cows and heifers are bought enough
lower to more than make up for the loss
that packers wouid otherwise have to
shoulder.

IMPORTANCE OF THE CALF CROP
From the Nebraska Twentieth Century

Farmer.
The Importance of the calf croI
should be recognized by every interest
associated with beef production. 1t is
breeding herd that the calf crop be
large, and that the quality be good.
In numbers n quality depend the ex-
tent of profit in the business.
The present indications show hat the
calf crop OF this season is much bet
ter than the average, In point of calves
saved from those produced. This is
due to the much better condition of
the breeding COWS at the calving per-
fiod. The season Of calving is the most
critical and hazardous period in the
conduct OF the business. If the COW is
carefully looked after at this time and
has been provided with plenty of hay
and feed through the winter to keep
her in strong, vigorous condition, then
there need be but little risk in secur-
ing satisfactory results. The careless
methods under which h greater por-
ton of the COW herds Of the country
are managed are not conducive to the
best results.
Cows that are forced to rustic for a
living during the winter, or a greater
portion OF 1t, will drop down in flesh
and weaker as spring and the calying
period approaches. The old n plan
OF conducting the breeding by letting
1t conduct itself plainly proves how i'm
portant it is to guard gains loss nv
the proper care of TIE breeding cows at
better care and more feed will all
ways be emphasized by increasing num-
bers in the calf crop.
The high price of meats now prevail
ing, especially beef, does not necessar-
lily prove that there is a Shortage OF
cattle more than in the feed lots. 1t is
true that there is a scarcity Of beef
cattle now going to market. It is also
true that the prospects for a heavy
run OF grass cattle for this season seems
qulte certain. Large cattle interests
IN the range are seeking an opportunity
70 go out of the business and this means
that these cattle must come forward
TO the central markets to find a sale.
me homesteader who Is taking the
place OF the cattleman on the range
IS not a cattle buyer, and will not be
d TO any appreciable extent
Tor several years. During this period Of
shift1ng scenes there is going to he a.
very heaVy decline in cattle production
n an increased demand in meat con
sumption. Other varieties of meats
have their places in the trade with tha
but cannot be advance one
step In taking the place of beef with
Inc common meat eater.
Inc Importance of the calf crop will
pc more sensitively felt within the next
three years than at any past period
FOR some time past. The value of the
calf will not be measured by its price
as a veal, but its desirability and III
ness to take a place in the breeding
herd

sLoP FEEDING.

EIOLl the 0Outn dakota Farmer.
This somewhat threadbare topic makes
its appearance in some form at almost
every swine It ALWAYS pre-
cipitates a warm discussion and airs an
tagonistic views.
AS a rule the old timers champion the
slop bucket, while more and more we find
that younger men are satisfied with the
results obtained from feeding a dry mix
ture to growing pigs. 1t is claimed that
by feeding dry you will do away with the
pot-bellied appearance OF the rowfng mig.
and Of course it materially cuts down the
labor item.
The fact that good results are obtained
by either method when plenty OF common
sense Is used in the feeding simply indi-
Gates that the pigs digestive system ia
adaptable to a variety of conditions. We
do not take our stand in favor of or
against either method, but In practice
find that the, best results are obtained bv
feeding both slop and dry feed. Take a
bunch OF pigs three or four months did
that are running on grass, and ff Won
want to bring them to a good weight at
an early age you will find 1t to your adj
vantage to use dry feed and slop. Wheth-
er 1t Is best or not we cannot say. but
We have always believed in giving fine
growing pig just about all the thick sion
that he cared to take early in the morn
Ing. When we say thick slop we mean
(slop that Will pour out OF a pail. but a
little reluctantly. About as thick as heavy
molasses late in the fall. After this meal
pigs generally lie around for two or three
hours and they are her ready to spend
the balance OF the day In the. pasture,
They como up at night looking fun, but
there IS still room for more, a fact that
may be attested readily when they hear
the rattle Of the pail or the ding OF the
scoop shovel. This Is q time when We
think dry feed is desirable and nothing il
better at such a time than dry corn. Ac-
cording to this plan the pigs therefore get
one meal Of slop and one meal OF dry
feed. and II they are healthy they ought
to grow to the constant delight Of the
owner.
