Kidding Land of Ouack Grass.

Many methods are advocated in the
papers for eradicating quack grass, but
none is quite so feasible and efficient,
think, as the following that practice.
plow sod or other land late in the fall,
about 6 inches deep, the next spring fit
the same thoroughly and deep, and SOW
to barley or oats as early as possible.
After the grain is harvested, l plow
again about the same depth and disk
and harrow thoroughly; then rake out
with horse rake all loose roots and
burn il the weather is dry, otherwise
draw and pile in some place where they
will do no harm. In few days or be-
fore the quack grass shows green, disk
and harrow thoroughly again, deeper, If
possible. and rake and burn as before.
In a short time, but before the quack
grass gets a start, plow again and disk
harrow, rake and burn as before. II
necessary, repeat the process the third
time. The land should be plowed as
late in the fall as possible and left in a
light, loose condition, in which con-
dition freezing will very materially help
in killing the quack grass. By the
above method l have in two years COM
pletely killed quack grass in fields very
badly infected and raised good crop OF
grain each year, no small item in meet
ing the expense of extra tillage. The
tillage also greatly benefits the land

Feeds for the Dairy.

In the past year all the foodstuffs on
the market have been analysed by us at
the experiment station and were found
in the case of mixed feeds to contain
Just what was claimed by the companies
which was not the case q few weeks ago,
with two exceptions. One mixed feed
contained breweries grain and the other
katfir corn. In buying these mixed
feeds | would advise to buy in sacks
that are marked, assuring reliability.
The cottonseed meal on the market at
the present time is good and has the
right yellow color. The oil or gluten
foodstuffs are not up to the standard
and care should be taken in buying
them, and the same can be said of the
distillers' grain. The dairy feeds are
being made mostly from waste cereal
products and some of them contain of a
lot of fine grain ground clover.
The class of feeds that are fast gain
ing popularity among the dairymen are
the so-cslled molssses feeds, which are
extremely palatable, and are made from
screenings from cereals and well
corn Stover soaked in molasses. They
have also found in some, a large amount
of weed seed, which is the screening of
the wheat of the West. These feeds,
however, contain the amount OF protein
and fats that are guaranteed. The
poultry feeds are fairly up to the stand
ard but contain some ground oat hulls.
| do not favor the buying of any of the
new class of mixed feeds as they are not
always what they are said to be and in
case of mixed feed it is better to do the
mixing yourself Stick to the old re-
liable brands and let the others go by

A Good Profit from Hens.

We will write up a little on poulty of
our experience for the year OF 1908.
We wintered 225 hens. What we re-
ceived for eggs and chickens was $485
and We paid out for feed s245, leaving a
balance of 1920 as profit or about 81 90
per hen but will say we buy but little of
the hen feeds advertised in the poultry
papers. Perhaps it pays but We never
thought it would pay US, but We buy
oyster shells by the half ton. 1t cost us
last year about S45 for feed more than a
year ago. Still we are not discouraged
with the hen business. 1t takes sight
of steps to look after 225 hens and yet
we have never known any business to
run itself and pay. Some how we do
not take to horses and of course we
could't make it pay but we do like the
biddies and think they like US. Per-
haps we are not like most poultry men.
We like a variety of breeds and colors
aud all run together. We will say We
set but few of our own eggs. We
don't set a mixed lot of eggs. We set
full blood of some breed. Most of our
hens now are r. l. Reds, Barred Ply
mouth Rocks and White Plymouth
Rocks. Our fancy runs more on the
White Plymouth Rocks. All the fault
We find with the Rocks, they get too fat
if you don't look out. We don't like the
Leghorns. Eggs too small and white
for the Boston market. We will say
here we shipped all our eggs to Massa-
chusetts. Our eggs and eggs we bought
last year and shipped was about six
thousand dozen.-Samuel York, New

What Is Needed.

Here is something that G. p. Adams
says in the Jersey Bulletin that rich
men who play at dairy farming would do
well to heed:
Build the best barns mooey can put
up, buy the best herd of cows you can
select, and turn them over to ignorant
and careless people, and you will GER
tainly fail. Expensive barns are not
necessary, though they are nice to have.
Good stock on which to build your herd
is absolutely essential. They must be
bred to produce, have the flush that at
tracts, ant be good individuals.
And that makes US lhlnk of what a
wealthy man who has q fine herd OF
dairy cattle said to as q few months
since:
81 wish you would talk to the agri-
cultural colleges loud and long on edu-
eating their you ng men to be honest and
trustworthy as well as competent. The
great cry everywhere Is for men who can
be trusted with other peoples money and
property. There are too many men
who have no conscience, no solid stead
fastness of character"
That's true. The old fashioned spirit
OF trustworthiness Is getting too scarce.
We must put more conscience In our
work.-Hoard's Dairymau.

Walk of the Horse.

There is much difference in different
individual horses of the same and every
breed in the matter of walking, some
having quicker steps and longer stride,
which means the covering of greater dis
tancs in less time. I have found that
there are slow, medium and fast walkers
in every breed, says writer in Farmers
Review. As in running, pacing and trot'
ting the walk can be made faster by
proper handling in nearly all cases, but
some animals improve more than others.
1t would be impossible to make good
fast walker out of horse whose step
was very short. / have noticed no diff
ference in speed at the walk in the light
breeds of horses and others that were
fast walkers. The action in walk, as in
trot or other gaits, is largely inherited.
have owned many horses that came
from the Same family, running first,
second, third and fourth generation, al.
most all of them having the Same kind
of action, both in walk, trot and the
saddle gaits. am, however, unable to
say all were good at fstfoot walk, but
many of them were, and it Is my opinion
that while / think the good walk Ia
largely inherited, it can be much i'm
proved by a good rider or driver. I do
not think the feed given q horse can
affect his walk. OF course horse IN
good condition feels we'll and will travel
faster than one not we'll fed, but this ID

them to keep their own agents up to
