The Pennsylvania Station has made
some interesting experiments on the
value of shelter for steers being fed.
1t was found that if the lots were kept
dry, shelter was not always necessary.
Shelter has very little effect upon the
appetite Of the animals, except in eX-
IRENE weather.
In this climate it is seldom that the
weather is too cold for steers on full
feed outdoors, provided they are kept
in dry quarters and out of strong
winds.
1t is very essential for fatten!ng
steers that they be we'll bedded.
It is decidedly advantageous that the
yard be macadamized or given an i'm
pervious coating of some kind to pre-
vent mud during soft weather. Wet
bedding and muddy yards are more In
furious than extreme cold.
The amount of feed required per
pound of gain is practically the same
whether the steers are kept in warm
basement stable or outside.

Root Pruning of Corn.

Deep blowing among the growing
corn, after the roots have met in the
rows may cause harm; root pruning"
is mistake; to break the roots checks
the growth and in hot, dry weather
deep cultivation will surely cause the
corn to curl, showing injury, while
shallow working will keep it fresh and
green. AS soon as crust is formed on
the soil it should be broken up, TO ad-
NIT both moisture and air, for the one
dissolves the fertilizing matter which
is in the soil. and the other affects it's
decomposition and renders it soluble.
So that, after rain which has crusted
the surface, the cultivator should be
started as soon as the soil is Cry
enough. This tends to hold the mois-
ture and prevents it's speedy evapora-
ton

To Check Swarming.

If the bees did not persist in dividing
their forces so frequently, much more
surplus honey could be obtained, and
the beekeeper himself would feel more
easy about his bees. In producing comb
honey in 1-pound boxes, it is necessary
to actually crowd the bees into the Sec
ton boxes, for they seem loath to be-
gin work in such small divisions, and
this crowding is one Of the incentives
which creates the sWarming fever.
When producing extracted honey, album
dant room can be given, and the swarm
ing impulse is greatly checked. There
fore, if bees are to be kept far from
the house, and cannot be given much at
tention, it is advisable to produce only
extracted honey, which Is done by CIV
ing the bees large combs and plenty of
room, for it matters not whether the
combs are entirely completed or not, as
the honey is taken from them and she
combs retained to be used.

and may go higher and continue high
through the winter This prospect
should encourage farmers to do the
best possible for their cows to keep up
a good flow Of milk. Keeping the cows
in the stable on cool nights and feeding
to the most profitable point or limit
should be practiced.
Do not undertake to winter more
stock than can be we'll kept, as there
is no profit in this. Use plenty of bed
ding, so that the cows may be kept

The Bull.

No man can afford to head his herd
with a scrub bull. The blood is an i'm
portant item, though not the whole
thing. Granted that you see the ad-
visibility Of a pure bred sire, the next
question is how to care for him. If
you paid 500 to $500 for a bull you
naturally want to give him such care
as to keep him in his prime as long as
possible. 1t is best to have stall or
shed for the bull where he will be sep
arated from the herd. Give him a yard
large enough SO that the confinement
will not be too severe, and be sure to
have his yard surrounded by a bull
fence. 1t is as important to keep people
out of the bull pen as it is to keep the
bull in. If possible, it is an excellent
thing to give him pasture if you can
tIrn him out without having him run
with the mixers. Often there is pas
ture for the calves or young stock taat
can be used. Keep him in good condi-
ton, but do not keep him fat enough
for the show ring all the year round.
1t doesn't pay. Always give him kind
treatment, but do not let him become
familiar with you.-Texas Farm Jour
nal
