Feeding Alfalfa With Silaqe.

An Iowa dairyman is quoted in the
eighth annual report of the Iowa de-
partment of agriculture as strongly
recommending alfalfa in connection
with silage for cows. He says: ''In
the countries where alfalfa hay can
be successfully raised there is no bet
ter food to feed with silage. We find
on one hand the stlage is low in dry
matter and high in carbohydrates. On
the other hand, we find alfalfa hay
low in carbohydrates and high in dry
matter and protein. Fed together in
proper proportions these foods make
perfectly balanced ration, and it is
safe to say that a proportion which
would be proper would be to allow the
cow to receive all of each of these
foods that she will consume. She will
thus solve the problem of the balanced
ration for herself even better than her
feeder can do

A HARNESS NEED.
Simple Device That Keeps Reins From
Beneath Horses Tail.

Beneath Horses Tail.
Much of the pleasure of driving in
summer is spoiled by the horse con-
stantly switching his tail over the
reins. OF course to a thorough horse
man who has the knowledge and
strength to manage a horse this does
not cut an important figure. But to
women or others not capable of han
ding a horse with vicious tendency
it is very important to do whatever is
necessary to keep the line from under
his tail.
The best thing l have ever seen to
prevent this. says horseman, was
metal bar with the ends turned up for
the distance of an inch and a half and
then at right angles toward the mid
die, horizontally, leaving an open space
Of about an inch and half to let the
lines down through.
This can, of course, be made of any
sort of metal and does not look un-
slightly, yet it answers the purpose
perfectly. A good blacksmith can
make line holder of this sort that
would serve as well as any. But care
must be taken in attaching it. l have
found by experience that there is no
part of horses hide that can get the
hair rubbed off SO easily and look SO
unsightly as that on top of his rump.
In order to make a good job Of put
ting the holder on the back strap the
heads Of the rivets that come up
through the leather strap to hold the
metal piece should be sunk into the
leather absolutely smoothly. When so
fixed the back strap will not rub the
hair off any more with the line holder
on than not.
In applying this to harness trimmed
with brass it WILL of course, look bet
ter If the little implement is made Of
brass. II light brass bar cannot be

Breeding From Young Sires.

II we canvass the country and learn
the ages Of the bulls In service among
our dairy herds we would find many
young, untrfed bulls being used. 1t is
a deplorable condition that prevails,
that Of breeding so much from young
and immature sires. It is the custom
with some dairymen not to think Of
keeping bull after he is two years or
three at the most. By that age he is
just beginning to get old enough to
show whether he has any value as
breeder or not Nothing can be told of
a bulls breeding powers until his first
crop of calves are matured, and it is
regrettable that good bull has to go
oftentimes when his usefulness is just
beginning, while so many yearlings
and two-year-olds that ought to have
gone when they were SINNERS are al
lowed to do duty.-P. A. Campbell,
University Of Maine.

Regularity In Feeding.

Regularity in feeding hogs is mat
ter Of very great Importance. The di-
gestive systems of swine and other
stock as well adapt themselves to re-
ceive food at a certain time, and if the
food is not given at the expected time
the animal is worried thereby. This
results in loss of one kind or another
For this reason it is to the advantage
Of the feeder as well as of the hog to
make it a rule to feed him at exactly
the same time each day.

can do is governed only by the length
of the day. Such team will be alert,
the same as the driver. They will obey
his commands quickly and swing along
with show Of strength and with
willingness that cannot be excelled by
any working team. Again, an OK team
are entitled to good care and some
grooming. To do their best work they
want grain and regular feeding as
well as horses. They will also appre-
ciate grooming the same. Many yoke
draws plow all day without grain
feed or even water at noon and at
night is unyoked and turned out in the
yard with only poor feed of hay or
grass. This is not fair to the oxen.
They cannot under such conditions do
their best and then it is said that cat
tie are no good for farm work. are too
slow and cannot begin to do the work
Of horses. On our hill farms we can
hardly do all kinds Of farm work with
out oxen.
When getting up wood and logs in
the winter they can be taken into
rough wood lots and rough roads COW
cred with deep snow, where it would
be impossible and unsafe to use horses,
and many of our hillside tillage lands
can be plowed to better advantage
with oxen. They carry pillow steady
and sure and can get over rough
ground with as much speed and with
more safety to the pillow and driver.
And if team are well kept they are
not much Of loss If by accident they
have to be killed. and, again, well
kept yoke will command almost their
cost value as beef at any time when
they become incapacitated for work
by age or otherwise.
Under the same circumstances a
horse team has to be disposed of at
nominal price; so, all things consid-
cred, 1t is my opinion that every farm
err can work to good advantage one or
more Jokes of oxen, depending as to
the number, of course. on his farm
conditions and the whole number Of
teams required to do his work.

TRAINING THE
OK TIE AM.

Driving oxen is as much of a sci
ence as driving horses, and in their
education much patience and self con-
troll are required to make success
| and have what we call "good team"
says writer in the Breeders Gazette.
Chicago. Their education for work
should begin as soon at least as they
are six months old. They should be
yoked and handled till they have per-
feet confidence in their driver. They
! will learn the words of command as
quickly as team of colts will the bit
and words. Always use the same terms
of command and attract their atten-
ton with light whip or switch, but
never use the whip. They do not need
it. They are as ready and willing to
obey as well handled team of horses
and learn the words Of command the
same as dog or any animal.
Some have an idea that an OK team
is made to be whipped and yelled at
as loudly as possible, but yoke Of
cattle can be trained to do their work
without noise or buster. 1t is all in
the driver and their early training.
The best OK teamster we ever had
made the least noise and used his
whip the least. He had yoke Of Dew
ons and would get his load or cart into
place as quickly as or even sooner
than most Of the horse teamsters, and
unless one were near and on the watch
one would hardly hear his voice.
Again, in their education careful at
tention should be paid to their walk
AS this is the only gait they have, it is
very important that they should be
taught to walk fast. By inclination they
will not do this unless educated to it.
A careless driver will soon get an OK
team in the way of loafing along or in
blowing to go SO slow as to offset all
other advantages claimed for them, so
that team educated to fast walk is
much more valuable than slow team
Of course it's understood that some of
the large, heavy breeds of cattle can
never be made to walk as fast as the
lighter ones, but even they can be
made faster than their natural inclina-
ton.
Often young cattle when first put to
work are overloaded and overworked.
This hurts their courage and will sure
~ lessen their value as a farm team.
Never make them try load when
they cannot start it by two or three
trials, but rather lessen the load. By
SO doing they will get in the way Of
always doing their best and will have
the courage to try. A we'll matched,
well broken pair of oxen will do their
work quickly and with all the intelli-
gence of a good pair Of we'll broken

do not think it possible for any one
to lay down rules for breaking an OK
team. Some are born drivers and love |
their team just as much as a good |
horseman does, and when such driv-
er is given an intelligent pair of young
oxen it will be pleasure to see them

WOULD CHANGE LOCATION
OF THE STATE PRISON

There is considerable talk among
those who claim to be posted, of an ap-
preparation to be asked for in a sum
sufficient for the purchase of the Stew
art institute and move the prison to
that place. 1t is claimed to be a more
ideal situation, having several hundred
acres of land under cultivation, with
a good water supply. and could be made
partially self supporting. 1t is claimed
that several of the buildings there
could be used to advantage and that the
stone for the walls could be taken out
at the present prison site and shipped
to the Stewart institute at a nominal
cost. To do much more building at the
present prison will mean a large ex-
pence that would in a great measure
aid in the reftting of the Indian
schools.
