Easy Victory for Pat.

An Englishman, an 1rishman and
Scotchman were one day arguing as
to which of the three countries pos
sessed the fastest trains.
Said the Englishman, "Well, I've
been in one of our trains and the tele-
graph poles have been like hedge"
I've seen the milestones appear
like tombstones," said the Scot
"Be jabers," said Pat, Il was one
day in train in my country and we
passed a field of carrots, a field of
turnips, a field of parsley, one of
onions and then pond of water and
we were going so fast that thought
it was broth!"

HOMEGROWN DAIRY FEEDS.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Urges the Farmer
to Plan Ahead.

The dairyman cannot always grow
all the food that he needs for his
COWS, but usually the farmer dairy
man can. He must look ahead, how
ever, if he is to do this, and his work
must be well planned and promptly
executed. When this can be done the
profit is usually more than when a
part of the food is purchased.
Usually the dairyman can carry his
cows through from spring until fall
on pasture and soiling food without
the necessity of feeding grain. 1t may
be necessary to stimulate the pastures.
This can be done in good form by Civ
ing them a dressing of farmyard
manure. If that is not to be had use
such fertilizer as nitrate of soda and
bone meal, but use them with great
caution until their value for such
dressing has been proven.
When the pastures become dry or
fail, dairymen should have soiling
food ready to supply the need. No
farmer dairyman should think of go
ing through the summer without hav
ing a supply of such food ready in
case that it is needed and just when
it is needed. If the supply should
only be needed in part then the bal
ance may be cut and cured as food
for winter. Not particle of it need
be wasted. Among the most valuable
soiling foods are alfalfa, peas and
oats, corn and sorghum. Wherever
these will grow the dairyman can
readily cover the entire season for
soiling food with q supply. Where
alfalfa grows in good form, this plant
alone may supply soiling food, cover
ing period of at least three months
Soiling foods of less value include
rye, millet, soy beans and cowpeas.
Furnishing food for winter is not
quite so easy. Every farmer dairy
man, however, in nearly all the United
States should aim to grow corn, either
for the silo or to feed as cured
fodder. When grown for the silo he
should try and get much grain on the
corn. This will lessen the need for
other grain. When grown to feed
dry, the aim should be to grow it
fine. The dairyman who can grow
corn for his cows and yet does not
grow it, does not know how much he
loses. More food can be grown from
corn per acre for dairy cows than
from any other kind of crop.
The aim should be to grow hay
leguminous in character to feed along
with the corn. Such hay as alfalfa,
clover, peas and oats, or vetches and
oats, are very suitable. If these can
be supplemented by roots. as man.
gels, to the extent of a peck a day to
each COW, very little grain will be
needed, not more probably than three
or four pounds day; even less may
suffice
The grain may be grown alone, or
probably what is better, in the mixed
form. When thus grown, oats and
wheat, oats and barley, oats and
speltz, or oats and peas, make good
mixtures. OF these oats and wheat
Is probably somewhat the best.
