RICH MILK FROM FAT COWS
HoIstein Breeders Take Advantage Of
This Fact-Point 10 ef interest
and Value.

Cows which are fat at the time Of
calving will. other conditions being
equal. give richer milk than though
hey were thin. They takei tl1e fat
from their backs and ribs and put
1t into the milk pail. Holstein breed
ers have been taking advantage Of
this fact, as is indicated by mahy OF
the seven-day Holstein records As
an average OF fourteen Holstein cows.
II was found that during seven days
early In the milking period. they had
a butter fat percentage Of 4.35.S But
the average for the whole year was
only 3.42. The Missouri experiment
station has conducted some very in
teresting work in regard to this point.
1t has kept record on number OF
COWS which have been unusually fat at
calving time. Invariably the fatscows
lost rapidly in flesh after calvins, and
the percentage of fat in the milk Is
abnormally high. In one instance the
percentage of fat In the milk three
days after calving was 56S. The per
centage declined day by day I'LL a
week after calvlng 1t was 4.34 and two
weeks after calving 1t was 1856.
The fact that fat cows are likely to
give richer milk than thoughf they
were thin is not only a point of inter-
est, but 1t is OF direct value Besides
throwing some discredit on seven-day
tests, It indicates the importance of
good feeding during the period just
previous to calving. Just after calv-
ing 1t seems to be necessary slightly
to underfeed II the COW is to be In
condition to put the greatest percent
age of fat into the milk pail In asshort
time.

Turn tho Hogs In tho orchard.

One of the best ways Of fighting
worms and other insect pests OF the
orchard, aside from spraying, 10 to
keep the infested fruit that has fallen
under the trees cleaned up. It will
pay to gather these rots and windfalls
by hand or hogs or other stock may
be turned into eat them. A great va
riety of insects will be destroyed In
this way and that will mean fewer
numbers to fight next year. No other
method comes as near to controlling
the apple maggot as this. as spraying
will not reach 1t because the eggs
are laid under the skin by the parent
fly. The young maggot on Matching
bores along under the skin and after
the apple has fallen and is rotting 1t
emerges and goes into the ground to
transform into fly the next spring.
This pest works almost entirely on
the sweet and early varieties of ap-
pies.

AIfaIf. for Winter Of 1913.

For most feeding purposes. three
tons of alfalfa hay are fully equal to
four tons of any other hay. Ton for
ton, alfalfa costs no more to produce
than clover or timothy hay. II you
want alfalfa hay in your barn loft for
feeding during the winter of 1913. now
is the time to plan for it. We are talk
ing now to our readers in the corn
belt proper. Will you grow 1t on
land which at present is in small
grain? II so, you had best plan to
stack the grain or in some way get
the bundles on as soon as possible
after harvest. Then go on with the
disk and put a dust mulch over the
entire field. The moisture saved in
this way may mean the entire differ
ence between success and failure
when the alfalfa is seeded In August
Then when you get time, plow to a
moderate depth. and then disk every
week or ten days till alfalfa seeding
time in August. This is the way to
kill weeds and save moisture. 1t is
the best way to prepare a seed bed
for alfalfa In the corn belt.
The Elbert County tribune., 1912-10-18
FLOWING FOR WINTER WHEAT
Continuous Growing Of Small Grain Is
Hard on Soil and Gives Weeds
Good Opportunity.

As rule. we do not think much OF
the plan of following either oats or
wheat with wheat Continuous grow
ing Of small grain IL not only hard on
the soil, but It gives an unusual op-
and diseases attacking grain crops to
do their worst damage. We are quite
sure that II winter wheat were never
grown for more than two years in suc-
cession on the same land. that the
Hessian fly would not be causing near
ly the trouble 1t IL at present.
Nevertheless, It will often happen
with the very best of farmers that 1t
is advisable to follow small grain with
winter wheat. To them we wish again
to give this advice: Disk and plow as
quickly as possible after the small
grain harvest. Be II you can not stack
the small grain. or in some way re-
move the bundles. 20 that you can
get on the land with disk before the
middle Of July After you have given
the land good double disking. see II
you cannot give good pIowing within
week or two. The disking serves to
check the loss Of moisture. but does
not seem to take the place Of blowing
under the conditions which prevail
when winter wheat is followed by
small grain.
The ideal seed bed for winter wheat
is that prepared by deep plowing. in
July. This was indicated by Kansas
experiment two years ago. Disking
without plowing gave a yield of four
bushels to the acre; shallow plowtng
In September gave yield Of fourteen
bushels to the acre; deep plowing in
September a yield of nearly sixteen
bushels to the acre; deep plowing in
July a yield OF thirty-eight bushels to
the acre. Deep plowing In July cost
nearly IS an acre. which was SO in ex-
cess OF the expense OF simply disking.
but 1t paid many times over. for 1t In
creased the net profit by more than
$40 to the acre.
Remember that the ideal seed bed
is one which has been stirred deeply
several months previously, but has
bad time to become firm and compact.
There is an inch of mellow surface
soil on top of the firm sub-surface
soil which serves to hold the mois-
ture. In such a seed bed. the mois-
ture readily rises by capillarity from
the sub-soil. but is not lost because the
dust mulch on the surface holds 1t In.
theoretically and practically, the best
way to secure seed bed is to plow
deeply In midsummer and follow the
blowing every week or ten days with
a good disking.

France, where he could breathe. he
says, as he could not breathe in the
trammels of convention. After some
years he got tired of tramping and
enlisted in the Foreign Legion under

corps for ten years, and then came
back to France to tramp the roads
again, begging as he went. The magis-
trate offered to find this incurable

but he refused. and was therefore sent
to prison.

orloIn Of salt In Ocean.

The origin of the salt in the sea is
usually attributed to the constant
washing of salts from the land by
rain and rivers. and the gradual de-
posting of them in the sea, through
evaporation. In every 100 parts Of
sea water there are about two and
one-half parts of salt. 1t has been
computed that there are 100000
cubic miles of rock salt in the oceans,
14h times the bulk of the continent
of Europe above high-water mark.
The Atlantic is much saltier than the
other oceans. Prof. Alexander Woei-
kow. of st. Petersburg. believes that
this Is due TO the large amount of
water vapor that is carried onto the
continents bordering this ocean,
which are comparatively low where
hey front the sea.

Found Use for sawdust.

In the consideration of a change
from steam to electric drive in a st.
Paul (Minn-) saw and box mill. the
one stumbling block was the matter
of the disposition of the sawdust ac-
culnulated about the machinery. I'm
der the old system this was made use
OF under the boilers, and thus it saved
the expense Of fuel and of being car
ried away, but the problem was event
ually solved by the erection of stor-
age house where the sawdust was
stored in the shape of bales and dis
posed of during the winter; when 1t
demanded higher price than could
be secured in the summer. In win
ter the material is in demand for bed
ding in stables. The change from
steam to electricity proved to be a
desirable one from every standpoint
after the matter of the disposal of the
refuse was solved in this manner.

WOMAN GOT A LESSON
INCIDENT OF TWO GIRLS AND
THE STOLEN PEoNIEs.
How the shabbIIy Dressed Man Ad-
nninistered Gentle But Effective Re-
proof to the Owner Of the
PIIiaged Brooklyn Garden.

Two poorly dressed little girls
stood outside the garden of hand
some residence in St. Marks avenue,
Brooklyn, and gazed longingly at the
beautiful white and scarlet peonfes
that bloomed within. Finally the
temptation became irresistible, and
the elder. scaling the low hedge that
separated the garden from the street,
proceeded to help herself to the flow
ers.
She had two Of the blooms in her
hands and was reaching for a third
when smartIy dressed woman
dashed out of the house and seized
her.
Nov, you little thief. I'm going
to turn you over to the police" she
said.
"Oh. please. missus.'' begged the
child. groyeling at her feet; "oh,
please don't get me arrested! I only
wanted few-ana they looked SO
pretty"
But the woman was adamant. She
was slowly dragging the child to-
ward the sidewalk and repeating her
threat about the police when shah
by looking man came along. He
gazed at the two for an instant. while
an expression of panied surprise
came over his face. Then. raising his
dingy derby politely. he inquired
what the trouble was.
Nothing" snapped the woman, Eek
cept that I caught this little thief
stealing my peonies. And I'm going
to teach her lesson If have to take
her to the station house myself"
A curious look came into the shah
by mans eyes. Then he began to
tumble In his pockets. A few seconds
later he held out to the woman an
open palm on which two dimes re-
posed.
IF thesell pay for what damage
she's done. wish you'd take them
and let her CO." he said.
An indignant blush spread over the
woman's face, and then it deepened--
into blush of shame. She relaxed
her grasp on the little girls arm and
there she paused and turned toward
the shabby one, who still held the two
dimes in his hand:
I'm sorry" she said. "end-I
thank you."-New York Evening

Got Even win Old crusty.

Old Crusty, as his name implied,
was not a man who was gifted with
geniality. His neighbors, In fact, had
as little to do with him as possible.
However, when a new visitor came to
the town and moved into the house
next to him, and knowing not of Mr..
Crusty's little failing, there was like
ly to be trouble soon.
Wanting book one day, he politely
inquired Of Mr.. C. II he might borrow
one from his library.
You're welcome to read books in
my library" was the ungracious re-
ply. '.but make 1t my rule never to
let any leave my house"
Some weeks later Mr.. c. was In
need of lawnmower. and he asked
the loan of his neighbor's.
Certainly" was the reply. "But
since I make 1t rule never to let 1t
leave my lawn. you will be obliged to
use 1t here!"-Answers, London.

Aue of VaIIeys.

The erosive power of water is hard
to estimate with any degree OF exact
ness. A method of computing the
probable age of valleys will therefore
be welcome, even If the figures may
seem to some open question. A
French scientist has lately reported
the results of.his studies of the eros
i've action of an ancient spring In the
valley of Lauroux, near Lodeve
France. This spring produces about
three and one-half quarts of water a
second. and in every cubic meter of
water (35.314 cubic feet), the scien-
tist found 1852 grams of calcareous
sand. He estimates that the spring
erodes 247 pounds of rock daily, or
over As tons annually. In the course
of a century stream of this size
would be able to hollow out circular
cave 81 feet in diameter and So feet
in length. At the end of 1000 years
1t would make valley SO feet deep,
"a feet wide and 238 feet long.

condemning the upright characters
which the government has decreed

solicitude for the future of the children
they point out that straight caligraphy
is not tolerated in the business world.
and that its use is serious handicap.
They are urging the government to
return to the old system. Perhaps the
most practical suggestion Of all is that

clean the chicken house, take out
roosts. drop boards. nest boxes. feed
hoppers. etc, and brush down the
walls. With spray pump or white

with 2 per cent. of carbolic acid in
the mixture. Make sure that you
reach all OF the cracks. crevices and
knotholes Remove the upper layer
from dirt floor and fill up with
coarse sand or gravel. Wash the win
dows and muslin curtains and leave
open to sun and air.
Go over the house for openings that
might make drafts, and repair them.
