thing for the farmer to do is to raise

as far as possible, and it is possible to
produce practically all that is needed
to make balanced ration. The place
to begin in considering the feeding of
an animal is always with the rough
ness, since the character of the rough
ness determines to a large extent the
kind of grain it is advisable. to feed.
The cheapest source of protein is in
legiminous hays, including clover, al
falfa and cow pea. If an abundant
supply of any one of these hays is
on hand, the problem Of making an
economical balanced ration is very
much simplified The use of these
hays makes it unnecessary to buy any
cottonseed meal for ordinary dairy
cows, and makes it possible that the
principal grain used be corn, which
usually is our cheapest grain. Even
cow pea or alfalfa hay alone, with
corn for grain, makes a fairly good
ration for an ordinary dairy COW, and
such ration could be substituted with
good results for that of timothy hay
and corn fodder. When hay is pur-
chased, it is always best to purchase
one of the kinds mentioned, as the
price is about the same, or lower than
that of timothy, which is far inferior
as milk producing food. If any hay
is to be sold from the farm it should
be timothy hay and not clover or COW
pea hay.

The third summer condition, which
we desire to continue throughout the
winter, is that of supply of succu-
lent feed. By the term succulent feed
is meant feed having that property
possessed by green grass. Such feed
has value outside of the actual
nutrients II contains on account of Its
favorable effect upon the digestion of
the animal. There are two methods in
use for supplying this succulent feed
during the winter season. One is the
use of root crops and the other the
use of silage. In some parts of the
world the use of root crops is almost
universal, and is the solution of the
problem. In this state the use of
silage is far more practical. however.
than the use of root crops, and for
that reason 1t is recommended ex-
clusively for this purpose.

Loa Boom Filled with Rats.

South Bend, Wash.-During a re.
markble high tide, c. Hoggfrom, boom
tender for the South Bend Mill and
Timber Company. went to see about
boom and found the logs literally
swarming with rats. So thick were
they that he had to kick some of them
off to gain standing room. he says.
There appeared to be scarcely room
on the logs for the swarming rats and
some were fighting fiercely for a place.
The boom is a half mile long and near
ly full of logs.
The animals were what are
known as tide land MICE" although
much larger than the ordinary mice.
The water front of all tide land is
a little higher than next the upland.
The tide runs up the sloughs and
floods the tide meadows next the up
land, first and then gradually floods
the whole. In this manner the hcrdes
of rats were driven to the logs for
refuge, and probably millions of them
were drowned.

RATION THAT IS BEST
FOR THE DAIRY COW
Common Mistake Is Feed Too Much
Corn-Rv c. H. EckIes, Of Dairyinx
Missouri Agricultural

The ordinary pasture grasses, espe-
cially blue grass, when in the grow
ing state, contain the proper proper
tion of nutrients to enable dairy
COW to produce the maximum amount
of milk of which she is capable. The
winter ration, on the other hand, is
liable to have these nutrients out of
proportion. This is ore point where
in common practice falls far short of
continuing the summer conditions
throughout the winter. The feeding
of ration not properly balanced is
one of the most common mistakes
made on the average farm in the corn
belt on account of the usual abun.
dance and cheapness of corn and corn
fodder.
Many farmers have corn fodder and
timothy hay for roughness and prac-
tically nothing in the way of grain
but corn. From such a selection of
feeds 1t is Impossible to make a
ration that supplies the necessary
nutrients for heavy production of milk.
II is possible to make fairly good
ration using these feeds for rough
ness. but it is only possible to do so
by buying large quantities of mill

FEEDS, SEEDS
AND WEEDS
A Danger to the Farm-By e. H.
JENKINS, Director Connecticut
Experiment Station.

There are a number of mixtures
sold as feeds which contain large
quantities of seeds of undesirable and
able portion are alive and will, under
proper conditions, promptly germinate
and grow.
The weed seeds are not always
quickly detected by casual inspection,
because they are variously mixed with
chaf and oat hulls, with linseed, bar
ley and corn products and are often
mixed or smeared with molasses.
These facts are naturally not men
tioned in the statements of compost
ton, yet they are more important to
the buyer than the chemical analysis.
A moderate food value may be
granted to ground weed seeds, or to
some species of them, but it is very
doubtful If small whole seeds are
broken up and digested by the animal.
1t has been proved that fermenting
they are kept in it for some time, but
common experience fully justifies the
belief that the farm may be stocked
with weeds which com along with the
manure.
Weed seeds which are scattered
abundantly wherever feed and f.ed
residues are scattered, will surely
make their appearance In the fields.
Thus charlock appeared last year
quite abundantly on the station land,
where it had not been seen for 26
years at least. On searching for the

Tries Green Paint; Hens law.

Ithaca, N. Y.-William H. Brown,
down Newfield way, has discovered
that light green houses make the best
kind of environment for hens, because
they lay more eggs when the hen
houses are painted that color.
Brown. who has experimental with
the effects of colors on hens for some
time, says he finds that his flock of
hens lay from one to three eggs more
day since he put the green paint on
the hen house. He noticed no percep-
tible change when other colors were
tried.
The color theory is that the hens
should have the same color scheme in
their winter environment as nature Of
fers in spring and summer.

should be disposed of The amounts
given are considered about right for
the COW giving from 20 to % pounds
of milk day. For heavy milking
cows these rations would have to be
increased, especially in the grain, and
for light milking cows the grain should
be decreased. In making up these
rations it is designed that the COW be
given all the roughness she will eat
and sufficient amount of grain to fur
nish the proper amount of digestble
material. 1t is not designed that
these rations should be sufficient or
best adapted for cows that are being
fed for making records, for which a
very maximum production is desired
regardless of expense.

Certain manufacturers claim to de-
stroy the vitality of the weeds which
they mix with feed, but in no one
of those above reported has even this
measure of protection to the purchas-
er been thoroughly done. III has been
apparently attempted only in case of
the sucrene feeds.
All of these weeds are characteris-
tic of grain screenings which are the
refuse separated from grain, in order
to make the latter marketable or fit
for milling. These screenings vary
a good deal in quality. Thus an analy-
sis recently made here of wheat
screenings showed about 33 per cent.
of fax and shrunker cereal, Is per
cent. of foxtails, per cent. of bind
weeds and pigweeds, Is per cent. of
weed seeds of other species and 81
per cent. of dust, broken seed and
sand. Even such a mixture is much
better than many others which often
contain very little. If any, wheat or
flax.
An average price for screenings is
