WATERING THE MILK COWS
A. G. Page, College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

The cow should not be compelled
to drink ice-cold water during the
winter There are several good rea.
sons why this is bad practice.
In the first place, the cow that is
producing large amount of milk
must drink a large amount of water
or decrease in milk flow. If there is
nothing but ice water available, the
COW will take only a few sips and
will not drink deeply, as she should.
In this way her milk flow will be de-
creased.
If COW does happen to drink q
large amount Of ice water from the
trough, she will be completely chilled
through for an hour or more, and
sometimes for half day. The cold
water stops the digestive processes
and may cause trouble in that way.
At any rate. it stops the milk produc-
ing processes for some time, and puts
the nervous system of the COW in poor
condition.
Water that is used in the body must
be heated to the body temperature
In some way. If the COW drinks it
cold. the food that she has eaten
must supply the fuel to heat it up. II
1t is heated before she drinks it to
a mild temperature which will not
give her chill, a few blocks of
wood or shovelful of coal will do
the work. Actual experiments have
shown that 1t is much cheaper to heat
the water outside than to make the
COW heat 1t with the food she eats.
A small water heater for the tank
is not expensive. and itAis scarcely
any trouble to operate. It will pay
big returns.

AT a given signal the battle
started. The charges of dynamite
were exploded at intervals of a few
seconds apart. After a few hundred
explosions the rain began falling and
kept up steadily for more than twenty
four hours"
The crops were in an exceptionally
poor condition because of the pro-
tracted drought, according to Mr..
Post. The benefit reaped through
the simple experiment was almost in
calculable, and he says the total ex-
pense was not more than 1000.

KEEP MANURE HAULEDOUT
Do Not Let Great Pile Accumulate
to Lose Its Value.

Outside Of the feeding Of the stock.
no one thing is Of greater Importance
In improving the farm than the haul
ing out of the manure from the barns.
Tests have shown that It pays in dol.
lars to haul the manure from the
barn to the field regularly instead Of
letting great pile accumulate to
lose its value under the sun and
rain. ".e
In Germany and other European
countries they have learned much
more about soil management than we
have in this country. Prof. M. F.
Miller of the University Of Missouri.
who has been in Germany for a year.
says that they haul out the manure
and pillow it under shallow, and then
later come along and pillow 1t under
deeply. They have cheaper labor
there and can afford to do this. We
could scarcely afford to practice that
method in Missouri. However, many
average farmers do not even try to
get the manure hauled out at all.
One of the great values Of the
manure spreader. according to Pro
fessor Miller, il that 1t reminds the
farmer that the manure should be
hauled out, and keeps him interested
in 1t. Besides that, however, the ma
nure spreader soon pays for itself In
greater results from the manurinE
than would be gotten from spreading
with q fork. yt

MR. REED ANSWERED.

4 brief item in yesterday mornings
Republican stating in substance that
Mr.. II. :. Reed. head OF the reclamation
offices in the valley. had failed To an
swcr a letter addressed to him by City
Clerk Jones. brought a prompt answer
from Mr. Reed. He called Mayor
Palmer up 10y phone yesterday and
stated that the clerks letter was writ
ten on the 18th Of July; that he(Rced)
had answered it. but that there was not
time from the receipt Of the letter To
the hour the town council convened
on the 18th. for the answer To reach
Mesa. Mr.. Reed further stated that he
thought the clerk should be stirred
up" for not notifying him earlier. He
also said that he would come to Mesa
at any time stated as convenient TO
the council and arrange for such re
pairs as were needed on Newell street.
provided the damage was caused by the
Carelessness Of the employees of the
reclamation service. 1t would appear
that Mr. Reeds statement should eX-
onerate him from negligence in the
matter; and Mr.. Jones can probably
fe-cstablish cordial relations by the
purchase Of the proper brand Of cigars.

MESA
HAND BADLY CUT.

j. @. Spangler was out early yes
terday morning, having in mind a cou-
pie of hours work in weed pulling. the
cutting of obnoxious grasses and other
wise obeying the injunction to work
for the city beautiful His first work
was to find the sickle, and this ac-
complishCd he started in To harvest a
small crop Of Johnson grass. The
morning was pleasant, and Mr.. Spang
Ter was doing good work when an I'M
fortunate slip of the sickle brought the
blade in contact with the back of his
left hand The cut was a nasty one,
almost seVering the tendons Of the sec
ond and third fingers. DR.. Palmer was
called in and dressed the injuries, and
gave it as his opinion that the fingers
would not suffer permanent INJURY. In
dressing the hand six stitches were
necessary to close the cut. Mr. Spang-
Ter takes the matter cheerfully, and
says it is a warning to him not To be
come too Industrious 50 early in the
morning. He is also Of the opinion that
there are other people who are more
competent to NOW lawn with a hand
sickle than he.

presented, granting to the Arizona Eas-
tern railway company a right of-Of-
way on the north side of Third street
between Mill avenue and the street
west This ordinance is proposed to
cover the matter of a switch to the old
Birchett residence recently purchased

the ordinance committee for considera-
ton Right upon the heels of the pro-
posed ordinance CAM protest from
Mrs. Eda +. Kane, the largest individual
property owner in that block. protesting
strongly against granting the right Of
way. In her protest, Mrs. Kane sets
forth that the presence OF the switch
will do her property much damage and
will materially lessen its values, where
fore she earnestly protests against the
council granting the right-ofway. The
protest followed the foot steps Of the
ordinance and will likewise be COnsid-
cred by the ordinance committee.
