His pasture also deserves special
mention. As I stated at the beginning.
It is q bottom fat and starts very
early In the spring. Early In the
spring II is disked where II appears
soddy and Is seeded on the barren
spots. The entire lot is covered with

It responds Is amazing. However.
there are years when during the latter
part of July 1t gets little dry and
barren. At this time he feeds little
extra by cutting some rape from his
hog lot which is. as rule, quite heavy
at this time. and quite frequently gets
too coarse and heavy for the pigs to
handle. This is done only for short
time until he gets his grain stacked
and the new clover comes on. This
year he is going to solve the problem
by putting up silo. BY this method
he will have supply for the summer
and at the same time have better win
ter feed for his stock. In the form Of
succulence.

CULTURE or ROOT CROPS
May Be Grown Successfully on Either
Light or Heavy soIl--6est on
Loan Soils.

The growing Of root crops deserves
more attention by farmers who do
not have silos in which to store spccu-
lent feed for their stock.
Roots OF various kinds have al
ways been held in high esteem by
farmers and stockmen. In England
and sther European countries. they
are generally raised for feeding to
air classes Of live stock. where, owing
to the cool summers. corn does not
do well. Roots are depended upon to
supply succulent feed for the winter
months. To quite an extent the same
IL true Of Canada.
One pound Of dry matter in man
gels has been found 70 be equivalent
in feeding value to ono pound OF
dry matter In mill feeds. and little
more than one pound of dry matter
in corn silage. Tests have shown that
mangels may profitaoly replace one
half of the grain ration under condi-
tons where the roots can be pro-
duced for "a per ton. In those expert
ments the roots we're fed 70 dairy ami
mails. In many sections. the silo has
not yet come into general use. On
such farms root crops are Of double
value, for they may be used to supply
succulence as well as feeding value.
In fact where winter dairying Is prac-
ticed they become almost indispensa-
BILE for best results.
Aside from the value for feeding
purposes, there are other good rea-
sons for raising root crops. With good
care and preparation OF the soil a
large amount of feeding material can
be grown upon an acre Twenty tons
Der acre is not an uncommonly large
yield. under good conditions OF soil
and weather: yields of over twice that
amount have been reported. For such
enormous yields 1t is necessary to
have a rich soil.
Another advantage is that grain
crops OF all kinds do well after roots.
for the latter not only necessitate
clean cultivation. but open up the soil
by means of their long roots. Guilt
waited crops should come regularly in
the rotation. and roots should be In
cluded In the list OF such crops on
all stock farms.
Root crops are valuable for stock
feeding. both for their content OF d.
gestible nutriments and IN supplying
succulent feed for the winter months.
This is true In all parts Of the coun-
try. but more especially In the states
where winters are long and severe.
Under good conditions a large
amount Of feed per acre can be
grown from roots. and for this reason
they are useful on small farms where
the amount OF land under cultivation
Is small.
Roots do best on loan soils. but

Six Dairy Essentials.

On the recent trip which the Mis-
souri, Agricultural College special
train made over the state cards were
distributed giving the following six
essentials for improvements In dairy
farming:
Feed your cows literally enough to
allow the good ones to show up.
Cut out those that do not make Q
profit and keep the best. At least one
third OF the cows In Missouri are un-
profitable.
Weigh the milk Of each COW regu-
larly and have 1t tested monthly, II
possible. by the Babcock test.
Use only pure-bred bull Of a
strictly dairy breed and from the
kind OF COW you wish to raise.
T Raise the heifer calves from the
best cows with great care.
Feed your cows silage. clover. cow
peas or alfalfa hay and one pound
grain to three pounds milk produced.
