GRASS LAND GINNING"
Hay Farming Gradually Extracts Fer.
tility From the Soil.

Hay Farming Gradually Extracts Fer
tiIity From tho Soil.
Hay farming is sometimes called
mining the land because it is supposed
to gradually remove and exhaust the
fertility Of the farm in the same way
that mining removes the ore supplies.
Yet production Of hay for market pur-
poses seems to be more and more pop
ular of late years. owing partly to the
high prices Of hay, and to the better
understanding Of the use Of agricul-
tural chemicals for hay production.
Hay farming with chemicals as COM
monty practiccd no doubt removes
more fertility than 1t restores. but the
process is very slow and no doubt
highly profitable under right conditions.
The owner of fertile, moist grass
land might we'll say with the mine
owner that he cannot afford to leave
too much ore in the ground or too
much fertility in the soil, but prefers
to sell it and have the value at inter-
est. Fertile, moist land will often con-
tinue producing good, profitable crops
of market hay for an ordinary work
ing lifetime. In England, where the
climate is very favorable to grass. a
sod is often kept fifty years without
breaking. Not much land in this oun
try will stand cropping SO long to one
speciality, but natural grass land will
stand the process a very long time.
To exhaust the land as little as pos
sible it is necessary not to scrimp In
top dressing, but to put back the great
er part of the fertility that is taken
out by the crop, returning 1t In h
form of manure or chemicals. or both
combined. If the land is top dressed
enough to keep the crop large. but not
extra large. say about two tons per
acre the first cutting, while the second
cutting is not moved nor fed off, but
allowed to stay and decay on the land,
a good deal Of fertility and vegetable
matter will be returned to the soil. and
this course may be kept up q long
time, especially on soil which is deep
and fertile-as for instance. a piece
Of swale which has been draintiled
three and one-half to four feet below
the surface. Such soil is often almost
perfect for grass-a genuine hay mine,
so to speak-and with right treatment
will continue to return a big income
for twenty years or more.
The plan of hay farming with chem
icals has it's attractions, especially for
the oldish man who desires to get rid
Of the care Of live stock and to cut
down his labor outgo to the lowest
possible amount. With good grass land
it is considered that the plan Of mod
crate top dressing with chemicals
brings a larger income for the labor
employed than any other system Of
management. Frequent blowing will
give a larger average crop with an
equal amount Of fertilizer. but it costs
more to produce and is more work to
harvest. 7

be set at a steep incline. Such sails
must be long and narrow and set
closer together.
In pumping from a deep we'll the an
gle of the sails of the windmill is
such that the, wheel will revolve the
same number of revolutions q minute
that it is desired to operate the pump.
This makes it possible to connect the
mill directly to the pump without the
gearing necessary where a high speed
is employed In operation Of the pump.
While the low speed means less wa
ter pumped, it greatly lengthens the
life Of the mill.
In the illustration the windmill, tow.
er and tank are combined, in a rather
ornamental structure. When the well
is located on high ground as compared
with the grounds where the water is
to be distributed the tank may rest
upon the surface, as shown, and the
windmill frame be constructed over
head. When the mill is to be located
on lower ground the water tank may
be placed midway on the windmill

Just above the tank.
A tank placed thirty feet from the

pounds when the tank is foil. This

"A garden hose nozzle connected with
this tank would force q stream nearly

Twenty barrels Of water would supply

monty used in connection with an

sized mill, however, may be used with
u larger tank when the water is to be
used for household purposes. bath

FEEDING BEES IN WINTER.

0VSGTE SJyuR ~ VeSSOSVgIs0ss0V0 N ~
Honey Store Is Insufficient.
No one should attempt to- winter \
hive of t'pps which is poorly supplied
with honey. Such a colony needs to
be either fed or brimstoned. Only
good. heavy colonies should be win
tered. One can tell whether q hive
has sufficient stores for winter by test
ing the weight. II the hive lifts like
a box of bricks it has enough stores,
but If it lifts easily. like an empty box.
then it has insufficient honey to carry
the bees through u severe winter.
writes Allen Latham in the Farmer.
It is not difficult to feed a colony for
winter. Dissolve seven pints Of gran
ulated sugar in about four pints of
hot water. Pour the gallon Of strip
resulting into four quart Jars and
invert these in shallow saucers, prefer
ably shallow tins, like the covers of
lard pals. Place them just at dusk
either over the frames Of the hive or
about the entrance. Insert small nails
under the edges of the Jars to allow
air to enter as the sirup is licked up.
II the night is cold throw two or three
sacks over the Jars to hold the heat
and encourage the bees to carry the
strip into the hive. Stir the bees up
before throwing the sacks over the
Jars. This feed can be given at any
time till such cold weather sets in
that the bees will not take care of 1t.
The amount suggested is enough to
take bees into early April.
All hives that have enough stores
can be protected for winter in the fol-
lowing simple manner: Select as many
large bran sacks as there are hives.
Open the bottom OF, each sack so that
the two ends are alike. Have ready
dry leaves, laths, small nails and ham,
mer. Draw a sack down over a hive
as you would draw a stocking over
your foot. Before starting in place a
small block over the entrance to keep
the bees in while the work is being
done. Fasten the edge OF. the sack
along the bottom Of the hive with a
piece Of lath secured by two nails.
Let the sack come quite to the bottom
at the sides and the back Of the hive.
but in front turn it up SO the entrance
will be left unobstructed. Now push
leaves in between hive and sack, fill
ing first at each corner, so that sack
is free from hive on all sides. Pack
In the leaves firmly all round and
above the hive till the sack is nearly
full. Then with some long nails or
with strings gather the upper edges of
the sack SO that the leaves will not
spring out,
As the hive now is rain win wet the
leaves and make the protection worse
than useless. Some waterproof mate
rial must be laid over all. A square
Of tar paper laid over and then COW
cred with another sack is good. This
upper sack. should have its corners
pinned down with wire nails.
1t takes but half an hour to get q
hive ready for winter in this manner,
and the labor will be well paid for.
Thus prepared the colonies will winter
splendidly in even severe winters and
will build up rapidly in the spring to
furnish early swarms Or supers Of
honey. This protection can be taken
off in early May and made into a bon
fire, the sacks being saved for smoker
fuel-fuel of the very best sort to
make clean white smoke.

AUTOS on THE FARM.
Half the Cars In Some States Are
Owned by Farmers.

Half the Cars In Some States Are
Owned by Farmers.
Recently, at the automobile school
opening exercises in New York city. j.
George Frederick, managing editor OF
Printers Ink, delivered a most inter-
esting lecture on the modern use OF
automobiles on the farm, illustrated
by many stereopticon pictures.
Mr.. Frederick first traced the rea-
sons for the greater wealth OF the
farmer through scientific farming and
the use Of good machinery and showed
the natural connection between the
use of machinery and the auto by
farmers. He told how by authoritative
estimate there were now 10000 autos
In use on f~arms-about One-fourth OF
all in use-and how one dealer ID an
Oregon town Of 5000 population sold
forty-two in one season. He said that
Of the 4,516 autos registered at q re-
cent date in Kansas half Of them We're
owned by farmers and that out Of
10000 autos owned in Iowa one-half
were owned by farmers.
Taking up the question of how the
farmer finds the auto profitable, Mr..
Frederick told Of the great help autos
are to the dairy farmers in delivering
milk quickly and without disturbing
the value Of the farm horses during
the busy farming seasons He also
pointed out how the delivery Of milk
hy auto to railway stations has; greatly
widened the area Of farm land in.
which It is profitable to engage In the
milk business.

trated by Mr.. Frederick's pictures.
