The Man and The Cow

Udder troubles are frequently
the result of bad feeding.
Sunlight and pleasant sur
roundings are great factors in
stimulating large milk yields.
The cow should be fed so that
she will produce a full flow of
milk and maintain practically the
same flesh condition.
The night producing dairy cow
is an animal that follows in the
wake of civilization. She never
goes ahead. Conditions must be
suitable before she can be any
value to the farmer.
The cow should have a capacity
to produce more milk than she is
called upon to produce in ordina-
ry dairy work.

FITTING HORSES FOR SHOWS
One of the open secrets of
feeding horses for shows and

The Hum of the Hive.

Give your bees plenty of good food
for winter.
Leave no honey or loose comb open
around the apiary under any circum-
stances.
The bee when out foraging never
acts on the offensive-always on the
defensive.
Beeswax is always in good demand,
and the wise beekeepers save every
scrap Of it.
Two drones cost as much to raise as
three workers. and after they are rails
ed they keep on eating. while the work
ers labor for you.
Never extract honey before at least
two-thirds of the comb is sealed or
capped over; otherwise the honey Is
not ripe enough and will ferment.
A special bee cellar in which moth
ing else is kept is certainly desirable,
but many beekeepers cannot afford this
and yet can well spare room IN good
house cellar.
Bees will produce more extracted
honey to the hive than comb honey.
yet the higher price that comb honey
will bring makes the income derived
from either hive about the same

Cheers For the Glass Hen.

The frost proof hen may be COM
ing. says the Rural New Yorker, but
the glass hen is here. and one Of her
June eggs in January does very well.
Water glass or silicate of soda is the
best family preservative for eggs. and
1t will pay any farmer to breed the
glass hen. Eggs laid In April. May and
June are best for preserving.
Boil nine gallons of water After it
has cooled pour in one gallon Of water
glass and stir it thoroughly. Put in a
stone jar and gently place In the mix
ture about thirty dozen eggs. Get them
as close to laying as possible and have
them clean. Put the jar In the cellar
or a dark room, cover it over and let
it alone until you want the eggs. For
family use the glass hen is wonder
in its way a good partner for alfalfa,
vetch and the rest of the farm helpers.

have made great improvements in the
art.
The original making of ensilage was
nothing more than in imitation of the
dog that digs in the ground to cover
up and keep a bone or something else
he wanted to keep and eat at a later
date. But. while the silo in the ground
serves a great deal better than none at
all, 1t falls short of being as satisfac-
tory as those built above ground.
OF course the practical use of the
silo Is the keeping Of forage in a sue
culent condition, and the most general
adaptation is for the use of dairy cows.
In this use of it the consumption Of
ensilage has increased very rapidly In
the last ten years.
1t may be that a chemical analysis
does not prove that forage of any sort
contains more nutriment than the
same would have cut and cured in the
regular way. but it has been the ex-
perience of all who have used good
corn ensilage that it is the best meth
cd to preserve corn for cattle.
The digestive nutrients in forage of
any sort seems to be kept in a more
satisfactory condition as ensilage than
any other way. and far greater guam
tity per acre can be got from the
land. so that any farmer who keeps
many cattle will be certain to find
that the silo is very necessary on his
farm.

DRAIN GRADE MUST BE EVEN.
Slightest Inequality Causes Silt De-
posits and Clogs tn. Current

Slightest Inequality Causes Silt De-
posits and Clogs ths Current.
A matter of prime importance in
laying tile for drainage of wet land is
that of getting an even grade or fall
to the ditch. says Professor NJ. E. Sher-
win in the Progressive Farmer and
Gazette.
If the tile in the bottom forms a
waving line or change from given
grade TO grade less steep. there may
always be expected an accumulation
of silt due TO the less rapid flow of
water within the tile which will drain.
Silt basins may be put in to admit OF
cleaning out this material at intervals,
but just as far as possible the deposit
of it should be prevented by getting
an even grade so that there is no tend
ency for accumulation.
This even grade may be obtained by
the use of very simple piece of ap-
paratus. one which any farmer can
easily make and use.
Take piece of | by 6 inch pine
board, A, sixteen feet long. Fasten
securely to the ends of this two pieces,
B B, each nine feet long. and have
them meet above the middle of the
piece A. The joint at G may be made
by tapping the ends. or the ends may
be cut slanting so that they fit up
against each other. being held by a
small strip nailed across on either side
A fourth strip. d. should be fastened
as indicated to B B. two inches above
board A. A plumb bob will now be
hung from a hook at the joint G by a
piece of fine iron or copper wire so
that it will hang within six inches of
the ground.
Now get the piece A level this is
impOrtantI and mark the place on d
where the wire hangs. Block one end
of A up from the floor one-half inch
by putting under it piece Of wood of
this thickness and mark again on ID
where the wire hangs. 1t will not
hang where it did before. but nearer
the lower end. Take the block out
and place under the other end, again
marking on d where it hangs. Repeat
this operation with a block one and
one-half inches thick and with blocks

thick. Be sure to measure the thick
ness of each block.
When the plumb bob hangs across
the first mark made on D we have
the board exactly level. When the
bob swings one, two or three spaces
either way we have a grade of one-half
inch, one inch or one and one-half
inches respectively in sixteen feet. By
placing this in the bottom of the ditch
we can tell how much the grade is at
any place, and by moving it we can
tell whether or not our grade is uni
form all the way. If not uniform we
can make it so by scraping off the
higher places.
1t is necessary that the bottom of
the board A be straight end. The
scale is marked on the board D so
that it will not be liable to become
covered with dirt as if placed on the
board A.
A plumb bob gives a greater accu-
racy than carpenters level or other

is also adapted for more varied use

termining when the grade is uniform.

Here is positively the latest and clev

The cement tank is built in the center

The power plant in the up to date
