The Dairy Cow in Winter.

we must keep our cows warmer
The modern dairy animal feels cold.
If exposed to the cold, certain
amount of food will be needed to keep
warm. We don't feed to keep warm,
but in feeding for milk a certain
amount is used for warmth; ii we let
the cow out she suffers from the cold
because she has no blanket of fat, like
the beef animal, who not only suf-
fers no inconvenience from being out
in the cold air, but seems to enjoy it.
We don't want to make the mis-
take of keeping her warm at the ex-
pense of ventilation. She needs a
certain amount of pure air, and air
once breathed is not fit to be
breathed again. The COW herself may
not feel it greatly, but it will in time
tell on the herd and you will soon
have herd not up to its capabilities.
We warm the stable from heat ra-
dating from the body of the COW. The
air is the coolest and impurest at the
bottom, SO the impure air should be

There are thousands of farms to-

supply of both white and red clover,
yet the hens receive an entire ration
of corn, perhaps because the corn is
handy and easy to feed. For eggs,
clover leaves chopped or cut up in a

eggs than all the corn that can be
fed. Make preparations to lay in

ehaIlow Cultivation Of Corn the Best.

ehalIow Cultivation Of, Corn the Best.
The Ohio experiment station began
studying the comparative effect of
deep and shallow culture Of corn in
1888. At that time the implements
AVAILABLE for shallow culture were i'm
perfect, and for two years the results
were negative or slightly in favor of
deep culture. During recent years
general attention has been drawn to
this subject, especially by the results
of the Illinois experiment station, and
manufacturers have produced nipple
ments better adapted to shallow cul.
ture. With some Of these implements
the work has been continued in Ohio
since 1891, the results uniformly in
favor OF the shallower culture, the
average yield from cultivating one
lnch and half deep with the spring
tooth cultivator being six bushels per
acre greater than from cultiyating
Tour inches with the double shovel.
The same problem has also been
taken up at thirteen other stations.
besides the two named, with results
generally favoring shallow culture.
Cunting each seasons experiments
at each station as single test, forty
i've such tests had been reported. OF
these, tWenty-seven showed larger
Yields from shallow cultivation, seven
were inconclusive, and eleven showed
larger yields from deep culture. OF
lnese latter, however. cultivating only
three inches deep was in some cases
called deep culture"
judging from these tests there
seems to be little doubt that the av-
srage yield of corn may be very con-
'lderably increased by the use of shall
oW-work1ng cultivators. - Weekly
