Suppose you cannot fill one mans

All these things are worth thinking
about. What we want to impress

GREEN RYE FOR MILK COWS
May Be Fed When 1t Heads Out and
There 10 More Nourishment in
II at That Time.

Green rye may be fed as soon as 1t
heads out; there is then the most
nourishment in the stalks. Cut when
free of dew, and let it wilt a few
hours before feeding. Feed small
quantities at first. A half forkful may
be given to each COW after the hay
has been eaten. When fed thus there
is no danger of blcat or hoyen. The
feeding of green feed to cattle should
be in the hands of a careful man. and
not given to boys or careless hand.
Attention to this rule will frequently
save the life of valuable COW
Horses at work should not be given
green feed. as it is liable to produce
collie. Cows should not be turned out
to pasture too early. Wait until the
grass has made some growth. and
there Is some nourishment In the
grass. Before turning out to grass
give the cows a feed of hay or straw
first. After the hay is eaten they are
turned on the pasture. For the first

weeds are greatly injured, owing to
their different root systems. In sec
tons where the wild barleys are
troublesome it is sometimes thought
necessary to burn the first crop Of
hay. Another method is to cut the
first crop while the wild barley is still
immature and feed the mixture of
alfalfa and grass hay. The objection
to this method is that 1t necessitates
the cutting of the alfalfa when too
young. A heavy growth of crab
grass is sometimes burned in the early
spring.
Dodder is one of the worst weeds
SO far as alfalfa is concerned. The
dodder seeds terminate in the ground

Iy attached to the alfalfa plant the

der lives entirely on the alfalfa. 1t is
very diflic to eradicate when once
established, and for this reason great
care should be taken to avoid intro
ducing it with the alfalfa seed at seed
ing time. Grazing close with sheep
has been recommended as being effec-
tive in holding dodder In check. II

fore the dodder goes to seed and the

REGULAR TIME FOR MILKING
lob Should Not Be Performed by
Tired, Dirty Farm Hands, Just
In From Field.

There is much loss in milking be-
cause, of having this work done by
tired and dirty mixers, but the men
doing the work are not to blame for
being in this condition, says a writer
In the Kimball's Dairy Farmer. They
come from the fields with their clothes
covered with dust and perspiration,
and as soon as they have their supper
commence the milking. is IT any won
der that It is often only half done? II
farmers would make 1t rule not to
compel the help to do milking out of
seasonable working hours they would
experience much less trouble in Sc
curing help. The milking should be
made part of the days work and not
an addition to 1t. Many farmers, espe-
cially where only ten or fifteen cows
are kept, look upon this Job as side
issue; that is. the milking can be
done when they can't do anything
else. The milking is as important as
any part OF the work. and whether
you are blowing or harvesting, make
your plans so that when the time
comes to milk 1t can be done without
any delay. Again, the best results
cannot be had from COWS unless they
us milked 1t regular hours
