ZulIa.

It is stated that no matter what
class of animal is brought to Jerez
de la Frontera, Spain. in two genera.
lions 1t acquires remarkable tough.
ness and endurance. This Is attributed
partly to the climate, but principally
to their feeding on rich, wild clov.
er called 'zulla," found only in the
province Of Cadiz, which people there
say is the finest food In the world
for horses.
The zulla is very rich in sustenance
and grows to three or four feet In
height, and with more luxuriance in
chalky, clayey soil, such as is found
here in the vineyards which produce
the famous Jerez wine or sherry. 1t
is never sown or cultivated, as It
seems to grow best wild.

Keeping Un the MIX Weld.

Now is the time to commence
feeding the milk cows. 1t is
true the grass is still green
but it has not much feeding val
ne. A cattle feeder does not
think for a moment of finishing
off a bunch OF steers on this fall
grass. Why should a dairyman
expect the cows to maintain their
milk yield on it?
Butterfat is scarce. The price
is high and is going higher. 1t
will pay to produce more butter
fat, but it cannot be done by
feeding the COW fall grass, corn
stalks and timothy hay. 1t is
also a mistake to neglect the
cows for a few weeks, intending
to make amends by liberal feed
ing when winter comes. 1t is
important that the milk yield
never be allowed to decline. 1t
is almost impossible to bring a
COW back to her normal flow
after it has been permitted to.
decline.
1t is important that fall feed
ing be commenced now before
the milk is cut down by short
grass and scant feed. Those who
are fortunate enough to own a
silo should give each cow about
% pounds of silage a day.
Every cow should have all the
clover, alfalfa, or cOwpea hay
she will clean up. This will
amount to about 10 pounds a
day if the silage is fed. If
silage is not fed more hay should
be given. 1t is well to remember
that cowpea hay is one of the
cheapest of dairy feeds.
Cows giving over a gallon of
milk a day should be fed grain.
A good grain mixture is corn
chop mixed with bran or cotton
seed meal. Corn and cob meal
may be substituted for the chop.
A pound of this mixture should
be given each day for every 3
pounds Of milk produced.
The best Of cows will not pro-
duce milk unless fed literally ON
the right kind of feed.

Fighting the ChinCh Bug With
Fire.

The chinch bug cost the state
of Missouri approximately $751;
100000 this year. Unless i'm
mediate steps are taken to de-
stroy the swarms which are liv-
ing over during the winter this
loss will he greatly increased
next year.
Between now and December
LIST, all meadows, pastures, roads,
waste lands and other fields,
which are heavily overgrOwn,
should be carefully examined for
the alternating chinch bugs.
Those fields near wheat and
corn fields which were infested
last sumner should be examined
with special care. The insects
hide deep down in clumps Of
grass, under leaves and rubbish
and in many cases their presence
can be detected from the disa-
greeahle odOr of the crushed
bugs, even before one finds them
in their hiding places.
Whereve' they are found,
the fields should be burned over
Immediately and carefully so
that every possible shelter will
be destroyed, The wind should
not be too strong so that the
heat viii penetrate down into
the clumps Of grass and make a
clean job. Farmers should CO.
operate in burning over all
public highways and railroad
right-of-ways in the infested
regions. With careful, syste-
matte burning of all harbOring
places in the fall, a large per-
cent of the millions of hibernat-
ing bugs will be killed by the
heat directly and many more
left exposed to the winter. At
ter each and every farmer has
done all he can to destroy the
pest during the winter, the fight
will be well enough started so
that, if taken up in time next
summer, the injury from the
pests may be greatly reduced.
