COST OF FEED
Most Economical OF All RatAona
for the Dairy Cow Is That
Which Is Grown
on the Farm.
tny j. c. FREY. Kansas.l

The work of our Shorthorn dairy
herd of is cows in 1911 was the most
successful in years.
The most economical feed for the
dairy cow is the feed that is grown on
the farm, and must be in the best con-
dition. This is my method of feeding.
Forty pounds of corn silage; one-half
in the morning and one-half in the
evening. with all the alfalfa hay they
will clean up. fed in the barn. They
run to corn fodder unhusked, and
Kaffir fodder in the yard. This Is not
properly balanced ration. but Is as
dear as can be obtained with the
feeds that can be produced on the
farm.
find It does not pay TO buy the
commercial feeds only in the absence
of alfalfa hay. when it does pay to
supplement silage with a mixture OF
cottonseed and bran to supply the pro-
tein element. Cows fed on the above
ration just can't help filling the milk
pail
| find in feeding silage the cost OF
feed is reduced from 40 to SO per cent
and the flow of milk is increased and
kept up. This is our second year with
this silage. and 1t is surely a satisfac-
| tory dairy feed.

are also very largely capable of sur
vival in the cultivated soils, thus our
troubles multiply adequately If our
care be inadequate to avoid them.
We. perhaps, may assert that the
law of nature is that OF diversified
plant covering; at any rate the law
of successful culture will permit of
statement in terms of crop rotation.
And it is true that as culture ages the
number and seriousness of plant dis
eases increase almost in geometric
ratio. 1t is further conspicuously true
with respect to those areas devoted
largely to continuous culture in a
single crop or in a group of closely

The cultivated soil Is medium in
which many species Of bacteria and
fungi survive from year to year The
public Is familiar with the doctrine OF
bacterial infection or incubation OF
he soil in its relation to the nodules
or tubercles of clover. alfalfa, soy
beans, cowpeas and other cultivated
plants
One form of bacterium is not sur
dcient for both clover and alfalfa.
This flora OF the soil both in relation
20 bacteria and fungi Of considerable
range of species. is enriched by the
applications of manure and by the
practices of culture; by this is meant
that the growing Of given crop
second time or a third time consecu-
lively in the soil increases the prob
ability that the plant roots remaining
N the soil are carried over from one
crop to the next together with root
parasites which cause disease In the
plants OF this crop. Manifestly. like

especially the resting forms of myce-
lium called sclerotia, the soil will be
come infected by this manurial appli-
cation.
While this source of infection is
rather rare in field culture there are
specific examples as in the scab dis
ease of potatoes transmitted In this
way; the scab of sugar beets may be
carried in like manner. But in fore
ing house culture where heavy appli-
cations Of manure are made, the
chances are greatly increased that soil

since change to rotation may mean =
serious decrease in the return from
the crop on the special type of soil
While for general field culture avoid
ance of conditions may be successful,
this Is by no means a simple matter.
Rotation is often absolutely necessary.
but this same rotation will not rid the
soil of the onion smut fungus. nor of
some other parasites such as in the
case of the club-root fungus of cab
bage and related plants. In these
cases some soil treatment must be ap-
piled to field areas. In the case of the
onion smut 1t is sufficient to apply a
formalin drip which will fall with the
seed and disinfect the soil layer in
proximity to the seed. This Is effec-
tive because the smut fungus can PEN
ertate the terminating onion plant
only in the earlier stages of growth.
On the other hand with cabbage club
root, where plants are transplanted
from the beds in which they are
grown. some general method of soil
treatment which involves the soil
mass is more effective. In this case it
is the application of stone lime or caus-
tic lime in liberal quantities. These ex-
amples are only illustrative of general
conditions to be met with. In the case
of potato scab, 1t Is found necessary
both to disinfect the seed where scab
is present, even to limited extent,
and to plant upon new soil not infest-
ed with the scab organism. Potato
rosette prevails where potatoes are
grown on acid soils. This acid eondi-
ton is evidently favorable to the fun
gus which attacks the stems of the
young plants or even in early develop
ment of the stems. These are often
rotted off below the surface OF the
earth, In later developments the
elongation of the plant axis is stopped
and a rosette appearance is shown in
the leaves. When this is found upon
seed tubers they should be treated
with formaldehyde or corrosive subli-
mate.

DRIVING HOGS IS
QUITE DIFFICULT
Bunch of Animals Started An
Pursuit of Ear of Corn Can
Be Coaxed 10 Go
Anywhere.
tBy R. G. wEATHERsToNE3

The hog is of a naturally obstinate
disposition, and will resist the idea Of
being driven from one place to an
other If it is desired to move the hogs
from one field to another it is far bet
ter to use decoy than to undertake
to drive them.
In driving hogs 1t is very difficult to
get them to see the open gate as their
eyes are usually turned in another
direction looking to be attacked.
The wild hogs when attacked, hud-
die up in a compact bunch, turn their
heads outward and watch every mo
ton of the enemy.
The domesticated hog has not
entirely lost this wild instinct and
naturally takes to the same plan oil
defense.
The hog has a ravenous appetite
and an ear of corn is one of the most
tempting morsels that can be used te
overcome the natural instinct of the
hog.
IL an ear of corn is dragged along
the road at the end of a cord eighi
or ten feet long, and just kept out Of
reach of the hog. he will forget every
thing else and pursue the ear Of corr
fight through cornfield or anywhere
else without stopping to notice the
opportunities for forage offered by mis-
surroundings.
Get a bunch of hogs started in pnr
suit of an ear of corn and they forge
everything else and can be led any
where by their owner.
