OF Interest to Farmers.

A few questions and answers taken
from the Progressive Farmer, that
will be of interest.
s'What will stop the cotton caterpl-
lar?'' Spraying the cotton, the grass
and weeds with lead arsenate, one
pound to 80 gallons of water.
"What is the best time to turn under
cowpeas so as to get the full nitrogen
fixation that they will maker" Just
as ths leaves fall. The crop is then
fully mature and has done all that it
can in the way of getting nitrogen.
Many complain of the red spider or
mite in cotton. This is one Of the
troubles of drouth. If heavy rains
come, they will not spread. Spraying
with strong soapsuds is as good as any
thing but rather costly. a good rain
will do as much good as anything.
"Will oats that were grown where
the Hessian fly attacked the crop be
safe to use for seed?" Yes, the in
sects are not carried by the seed, and
in my experience I have never had the
fly attack oats, while they are pretty
sure to find wheat, if sown too early.

Watering the Horse.

One cannot intelligently discuss the
order of giving the feed without con-
sidering the time Of watering. Many
feeders believe that the horse should be
watered before feeding while others are
equally certain that feeding should pre-
cede watering. Each of these methods is
probably equally good for the horse, and
the one employed will be determined by
circumstances. Certain conditions make
it necessary to adopt one, other oondi'
tions the other. For example, after
severe loss of water, such as occurs In
consequence Of long continued, severe ex'
ertiop, the animal may perhaps be allow
ed to drink before he Is fed; otherwise
he will not feed we'll. On the Other
hand, IL 10 said that this method oi
watering affects the appetite, and the
horse will not consume ss much food "a
he otherwise would. Again, 1t has been
very clearly demonstrated that II Q horse
is fed his grain first and then watereo
mt ch of the food is carried into the In
testines by the water. Since tho grain

possible, and watering again after th'
ration has been consumed. II this prac

Silage and Beets for Dairy Cows.
In discussing this subject, valancey e.
Fuller, the well-known dairyman, in a
contribution to the Practical Dairyman
says:
The chemist cannot tell US why the
water that is contained in all these sue
culent feeds plays such an important
part in the we'll doing of the cow. he
will tell US that pasture grass is so percent
water; that corn silage has 79.1 percent
sugar beets S6.5 percent; mangel beets,
900 percent; carrots $50 percent; cab
bage and pumpkin, over 80 percent each.
Yet this very water as We find it in the
various succulents, plays very impor-
tant part in the digestion of other food
taken in conjunction with the succu-
lents. 1t seems to act directly on the
bowels and kidneys of the cows, and
maintains the cattle In the healthy con-
dition which is essential to the best pro-
duction.
We know that apples contain 80 per-
cent water, yet we know also bow beue-
fetal that "juice," as We call it, is to US
as a regulator of the bowels, and how II
we eat an apple or two each day 1t con-
tributes to our good health.
Corn silsge is the cheapest of all sue
culents, except pasture grass. Roots
are expensive to grow. They cost more
per pound of digestibie dry matter than
corn silage. Although had all the
silage that I required to feed my cows
in winter and in the dry season OF sum-
mer, used to grow all the roots / pos
sibly could on my own place and con-
tracted for $4,000 bushels year, to feed
the cows. My experience showed me
that cows would do better when they
had corn silage II they were fed roots,
especially mangels and sugar beets, than
they did without them, and what the
beets cost me extra was more than
saved in the lessened grain feed each
day.
Ii every dairyman would put up
enough corn silags in the fall to feed
his cows in the winter and carry over
enough to feed them iu the dry spell
that comes In the late summer, his bank
account would be materially added to
each year.

said. "That collected frightens me-.
