cows EATING STRONG WEEDS.
When Pasturage Gets Short They Are
Apt to Eat Weeds That Taint Milk.

Much trouble is experienced in some
localities in the summer from COWS
eating strong weeds. When the grass
is flush they eat the grass. It is only
when the dry time of summer ap-
proaches that the COWS turn to the
weeds.
On pastures that are partly worn
out, the grass in the summer time be-
comes very dry from the fact that the
sod is thin and the roots of the grass
do not reach down to soil moisture.
But the weeds have long roots and
they reach far down into the moist soil
and keep themselves supplied with
moisture.
So the COWS can find in the leaves
and stems of the weeds more succu-
lence than in the blades of grass. The
eating of the weeds gives the milk a
weedy flavor, and this is appreciated
by the creameryman or the cheese
maker. 1t is impossible to make good
butter or cheese out of such milk.
So, war should be made on the
weeds or on the drought, declares the
Farmers Review. The weeds can be
mown and partially kept down in that
way. To make war on the drought, i'm
prove the pasture by plowing and fer
tilizing portions at time. The rich
er the pasture, the better will it sus-
tain itself against the drought.
Ordinarily shallow plowing is pref
cradle to deem blowing hut as an anti
drought measure, deep plowing is good.
The deeper the plowing the nearer
will the bottom of the furrow be to
soil water, and the easier it will be for
the grass roots to get a constant sup
ply of moisture for the grass So long
as the grass can get supply of
moisture it will keep green.

{ WHY NOT. MORE sHEEP?
A Query Which Every Farmer Should
:: : - : Thoughtfully Consider. ).

Probably the main reason more
farmers do not keep sheep is because
they do not understand them. You
ask them why, and one will say sheep
will not pay on high-priced land; an
other will say cattle and hogs will
make more profit; another, they re-
| quire too much fencing, and still an
other will aver that they are too much
bother. Are all these objections we'll
grounded? Ask the man who has been
raising sheep for the last five years.
He will tell you that sheep will yield
as good if not better profit than any
other class of live stock, considering
| the expense one is put to in getting
, started and for care.
Sheep bring in profits from two
sources namely, lambs and wool. Not
only are they valuable in that way,
but there is no other class of live stock
, that will return such large amount
of fertility to the soil. They have fifty
| been termed 'the golden hoof that en-
riches the SOIL" AS to the high priced
! land proposition, if they did not pay it
| it is not probable they would be kept
; continuously on some Of the highest
priced farms in England, says Good
sails Farmer. Of course it is hard to
| make farmer in the corn belt, with
land at $100 or more per acre, believe
! this, for he has grown up to the idea
OF raising corn and feeding cattle
! While the profits from sheep rails
ing are not always constant and will
! at times cease to be profit, says the
Farmers Voice, the same is true with
| other classes Of live stock At pres
ent the prices Of sheep and lambs on
j our markets are not as good as they
were few months ago, but the man
VINO is in the business to stay will un-
: doubtedly see better conditions in the
not far distant future. High prices for
feed are somewhat of a handicap to
| feeders of all kinds of live stock, and
! this may be one of the years when the
profits are not SO big. But it is the
man who keeps at it who makes the
for as much if not more with the flock
| as with the herd of cattle or drove of
! hogs. The f1ocks that do not pay are
the neglected ones-the ones kept
by men who do not understand sheep.
! With the least trouble of any farm
stock, the sheep with it's two-fold
source Of income will build up the de-
pleted farm and make the productive
one grow bigger crops.
