Natural FOrtificatiOns.

A most unique adaptation Of natural
resources has laiely been made in the
preparation, by the United States gov
eminent, Of the Damoud Head crater,
near the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, for
the purpose OF defensive Notifications.
70 accomplish this, the army engineers
have begun the construction of tive
large tunnels through the rim Of thu
great extinct crater. The tunnels arr
an adjunt to the great l2-in. mortar
batteries now nearing completion OF,
he slope of the big cooe farthest from
the ocean. They will penetrate int
the big bowl Of the crater, the floor Of
which includes some 20 acres, surround
ed by almost perpendicular cliffs iron
80 to $50 feet high Erosion OF ages has
covered this crater floor with a layer OF
earth averaging perhaps six feet il
depth, while a small lake occupies one
side most of the year from rains which
find no outlet.
Within the mountain unusually Sc
cure ammunition magazines will be
constructed, aud it is possible that the
quarters for troops may be construc' ed
within the great enclosure formed by
the crater walls With sufficient water
for irrigation purposes, the interior Of
the crater could readily be converted
into a veritable tropical garden.
The batteries of eight big mortars are
almost entirely concealed foom the sea
by the bulk nf the mountain behind
which they are placed, which not only
makes them difficult to locate accur-
rately from ships, but will protect them
to considerable extent from battle
ship fire. Their own fire will be con
trolled dy electric indicators, operated
at some convenient point of observa-
tion, not necessarily near the mortors,
and as this class Of artillery depend on
lis "dropping fire. the mountain be
tween the fort and the sea will offer no
obstacle. Mining Science.

by flies when fed than when allowed
on pasture.
AS to the variety of crop to use for
this soiling, there are so many good
ones one can take his choice. A safe
rule is to select such varieties as do
we'll in the locality. Peas and oats,
oats and clover, oats and corn, rape,
COW peas and corn. OF course, these
are all to be fed green.
One may keep more cows on a given
number of acres by soiling than by
p%asturage. Also keep the soil in better
fertility. But there is, of course, more
work and time attached to the former
way. AS to whether it will pay to do
away with %pasturing, each must de-
eide for himself. If n will raise all
that is possible on the land, feeo it
economically, so that there will be no
waste, it will certainly pay we'll for
the extra time and work required, as
it is safe to count upon an increase
from the dairy depending on plentitude
of rain and the success attained in
growing forage crops.
But then if one has a broken farm,
or broken by billy fields, we'll set in
grass, it would certainly be foolish to
pillow up such land. Whichever is best
to do, at least do not turn the COWS on
the pasture too early in the spring.
Let the grass get a good start; do not
turn them in constantly at first-a
half day will do most as well, and
will result in fewer grass shoots be-
ing injured or killed.
1t is best to keep them off the pas
ture entirely while a drouth lasts and,
above all, do not fail to grow a forage
crop to tide over the dry spell. This
extra crop will save the pasture, the
COWS, the pocketbook, temper and per-
haps damages if the pasture adjoins a
growing crop and the fences are not
the best.
Another thing that will bear repeat
ing many times is, in addition to the
extra crop through a dry time, to not
fail to supplement the pasture in early
spring and late fall.

MORE COWS ON FEWER ACRES.

At the last Connecticut convention,
Mr.. H. e. Cook, head of the new agri-
cultural school at Canton, N. Y, gave
a splendid address on the subject:
More Cows on Fewer Acres" He
said that the cow might become a soil
robper, as COWS turned out in too large
numbers to pasture where the grass
was not luxuriant would eat it down
too close and the soil would become
poorer each year. He made the state.
ment that "either dairying has natur-
ally become settled Of the poorer
lands in the Eastern states, or else
the land has become poor because the
dairymen have not used it right" In
other words, the lands now used for
dairying purposes are the poorer ones.
The remedy suggested by Mr.. Cook
was soil!ng. Cultivate the land bet
ter, work it over frequently, and keep
more COWS by raising green crops for
them in the summer. The summer silo
is the 'sheet anchor of the dairyman.
Always have the corn in the silo;
have it ready for an emergency, for
a dry spell in any of the summer
months, for a busy time when you can
not cut green foliage, etc.
Inc first crop in the spring should
be rye. Sow the rye early in the fall,
so that it will be ready to start early
in the spring. The rotation of green
crops should be as follows: Rye,
wheat, alfalfa, oats and peas and
corn.-Prof. j. M. Trueman, Conn.

EMPIRE

The 1908 catalogue put out by the
Empire Cream Separator Co, whose ad-
vertisement is appearing in The Ranch,
is certainly a piece of work that any
beauty in appearances; it is artistic in
design; it is replete with information
for the ~cow-owner; the cuts are excel
lent, and the line is so complete that
any rancher can choose a machine to
suit either his herd of from five to one
man or woman who is interested in
cream separators should send their ad-
dress at once for one of these cata-
logues. 1t is worth reading.
The company is progressive, and it's
phenomenal growth in the last ten years
must be. 1t claims it's sales now are
forty times as great as eight years ago.
It has kept experts at work for years
making a study of just what would make
the best a%ll-around separator for the
rancher to wear out. The result you
can see by reading its catalogue, or
examining it's machine.
The machines are very simple In con-
struction. they have just what gearing
is necessary to run the bowl, which con-
sjsts of one drive wheel. which runs the
worm shaft, and this operates directly
on the spindle of the bowl. After the
machines have been assembled n the
bowls carefully balanced and made to
run true, they are run several hours
with water, to test each machine. before
they are sent out to be placed on the
market. .

the Pacific Coast branch located at Port
land, Ore. The Portland branch has a
force of six travelling men with scores
of local agents to help supply the great
demand for this popular machine.

SOILING PAYS.

In discussing summer production OF
milk, the Wisconsin Agriculturist
says:
Several careful experiments in vari-
Gus states result in strong favor OF
soiling over pasturing. Especially is
this noticeable in states or seasons
that are usually visited by midsum-
mer drouth. Some experiments show
that the milk and butter production
is from three to five times as much
using a crop of rye and corn or clover
and corn over the average pasture per
acre. Others report double the yield.
and all agree that cows present a bet
ter appearance; also are less annoyed

MILK r o A

For the past nine years the depart
men of dairy husbandry at the uni
versity has delivered from 100 to $50
quarts of milk a day to people in the
two cities. During this time the COWS
have been fed an average of about
forty pounds of silage per day, except
wnen on pasture, and no complaints
of a bad flavor in the milk have been
received. Mr.. H. B. Gurler, of De
Kalb. who Is one of the most pro-
gressive dairymen of the state, has
been producing certified milk for the
past ten years and selling it in Chi
cage at IL cents a quart. All of this
time Mr.. Gurler has been feeding sill
age to his cows, excepting during the
season of the year when pasture was
abundant, and with the best of results.
This is strong evidence that If the sill
age is of good quality and used in
reasonable amounts, in connection
with other feeds, it is n of the best
feeds o~btainable for dairy COWS when
pasturage is not available.-IllinOis
Station.
Why should good milk result from
bad smelling silage and poor milk
from onions? If a very thin SLICE of
onion, turnip OF cabbage is examined
under a high power magnifying glass
the tissue will be seen filled with mi
mute drops of a sulphur oil which i'm
parts the peculiar odor and flavor.
The system of a cow tries to burn up
and get rid of all that would injure
the milk, but these sulphur oils are
among the most difficult to eliminate
from the system and unless fed in
small quantities will produce a bad
effect on the milk. On the other
hand the odor and taste of silage are
connected with the acids of fermen-
tation which are easily destroyed by
the cow. When silage first came into
use some persons claimed hat the
large quantity of acid it contained
must be injurious to the health of the
COW. A person who says this displays
his ignorance of the cows process of
digestion. The first great stomach
or paunch-occupying nearly half the
cows body-is in effect a silo. The
food is here carried through the first
stage of. digestion, entirely by the
production of acid. No matter wheth-
err the food is green or coarse fodder,
it is all fermented and produces large
quantities of acid. Dry corn fodder
in the cows paunch evolves much
more acid than the same stalks would
nave produced put green into the
poorest silo.-Field and Farm.

A cow which will probably convert
the largest amount of food into milk
or butter is the most profitable to
keep.
