Clearing the land Of underbrush,
rule is not very expensive process.
In most cases this can be done on
''cut-oyer" land for from s. to s. an
acre. To rid the land of large pine
stumps is not so easy a matter and
frequently the cost Of removing such
stumps exceeds $40 an acre.
On clay lands, blasting stumps with
dynamite, judiciously used. is the most
economical method Of treating them.
| The amount of explosive to use for a
single stump cannot we'll be told be-
forehand. Much depends on the size
Of the stump as also on the condition
of the ground when the blasting Is
done.
AS a rule, much more effective work
can be done when the ground is wet
than when it Is dry. 1t requires con
siderable experience to use dynamite
! economically, and ordinarily the mex
perienced settler will find it profitable
to employ professional stump blast
er until he has learned the art him
self.
In developing clay farm 1t is ad
visable to get clover started as soon
as possible if 1t does not grow nat
urally in the locality. After burning
the brush and dead timber, it is good
plan to go over the land with a spring
tooth harrow or disc and SOW the
clover The clover helps to keep brush
and weeds down, adds nitrogen to the
soil, and furnishes hay or pasture.
The best available time for break
Ing new land is usually In June, after
the spring work is finished and before
haying begins. At this time the brush
and weeds are well started and thus
are more easily destroyed by cultiva-
tion. Another opportune season is in
the fall, particularly on land which is
fairly free from brush.
If the land has been broken in June
it should be seeded to winter rye late
In August or in early September. The
next spring, SOW clover in the rye. The
rye is harvested In July, and the clov-
er is allowed to grow. The rye fur
nishes grain and also considerable
straw for bedding and feeding As
soon as clover is once started the 70.
tation of crops can be established,
Care should be taken not to let cat
tie Craze on young clover during wet
spells. for that may result in the clov-
er winterkilling the following spring
All working of the heavy clays
should be done only when the soil is
in proper condition, that Is, when it Is
dry enough not to puddle when
worked. A single blowing when too
wet will have bad effect for three or
four years The same is true Of har
rowing and cultivating to q somewhat
less extent.
When 1t is desirable ultimately to
have the furrow slice deep, six or
seven inches 1t should be deepened
gradually The bacteria and other or
gansms which are active in producing
fertility are much more abundant near
the surface and the vegetable matter
on which they act In the new clay
soils are largely confined TO an inch
or two OF the surface. II is important

Rearing
Heifers
on a Skim
Milk Diet

Good dairy cows can be reared from
early calfhood on skim milk as their
principal diet. Not over ten to twelve
pounds of milk daily should be fed I'M
til the calf is five to seven weeks old.
Later the amount may be increased
to fourteen or sixteen pounds and at
three months may, though not always,
go to about twenty pounds. The
amount fed, however, must be care
fully regulated by the ability of the
calf to handle it without securing
The following method has been sue
cessfully used as a guide:

For the LIST 100 lbs live weight.....1O
For the % 100 lbs live weight. 5
For the Sd 100 lbs. live weight.......... PA
A calf weighing so pounds would be
fed, according to this plan, S1a pounds
Zone gallon of skim milk; a calf
weighing 300 pounds would be getting
per day. If skim milk is available it
can be fed profitably to the dairy calf
six to eight months, or even year.
Whenever the calf does not eat
readily, cut down the supply of milk,
The adding of boiling water or scald-
ing the milk may help materially at
such times.
