gree below zero at times. These cows
when turned to grass made satisfac-
tory daily gains. indicating that ensi-
lage when fed in large quantities. as
was the case in this instance. is in no
manner whatever injurious.
1t may be of interest to know that
$50 pounds of manure were produced
during the 40 day period by each
COW. This computed at $1.5O per ton
means a value of $6.63. As each COW
gained 164 pounds in weight this in
crease of cents a pound amounts to
$500 1t is true that this added
weight has in reality no intrinsic value
unless the COW is marketed, but it does
mean that the COW goes on to the grass
in a good f1eshy condition.
Those of our readers who have a
supply of ensilage at hand might profit
by a perusal of the results obtained in
this instance. If an experiment sta
ton can obtain these economical re-
suits on ensilage and a small amount
of cottonseed meal daily there is no
reason why there will not be similar
outcome if the same plan is carried
out under average farm conditions.

Sailing the Butter.

Butter is sailed primarily because
the popular taste demands it and i'll
cidentally for its preservative effects,
although the latter are not very mark
ed. The uniform incorporation of va
rying amounts of salt as the trade
demands is very important so far as
the appearance of the butter is con-
cerned. 1t has been my experience
that salt distributed as uniformly as
possible among the granules worked
to the point where they are in a COM
pact mass, with the moisture glisten-
ing on the surface. then allowed TO
stand for twenty or thirty minutes,
then worked about an equal length Of
time more, will give a more complete
Incorporation of salt and do away with
quite little of the pressure necessary
if worked in from the first without al
lowing time for the salt to dissolve.

PR0PAGATING SHRUBS.
Garden Work Is Never Over-It Is a
Continuous Performance.

Garden Work Is Never Over-It Is a
Continuous Performance.
When the late flowers have been cut
down by the frosts it might be pre-
sumed that the time for garden activi-
ties is over. But as a fact, garden
work is never over. 1t is one continu-
Gus performance that anticipates sea-
sons by months, and t. this early prep
aration is due the success of our sum-
mer gardens. When the tulips are put
into the ground the winter is marching
along fast, but there is work to be
done just at this time which will bear
fruit the next summer.
Just before the ground freezes hard
cover up a piece with leaves or litter.
or anything that will keep out the
frost, for it is in this ground that any
of the shrubs for which you may have
a fancy are to be propagated.
Do you want hydrangeas or weigla
or privet or dOgwood or forsythia? If
you care for these now is your chance
to get great many for almost nothing.
With a sharp knife make as many cut
tings as you want plants and throw in
20 per cent for good measure. Bury
these cuttings all but two inches and
by spring they will be young plants
ready to plant out This is what is
called sweating" or making little
sticks into large bushes under the
snow.
The question of getting stock is sim
pie. No one would refuse you permis-
sion to take a few sticks off their ny
drangeas or other shrubs in the middle
of the winter. Stock is possible if one
has a sharp knife. The handiest and
most satisfactory way to proceed is as
follows: Make a trench about four
teen inches deep, and long enough to
accommodate all the cuttings you
make. Make the cuttings q little long
er than the trench is deep and put
them in the trench either singly or in
bundles, and pack the earth hard about
them. Cover we'll with enough leaves
to keep out the frost.
When the frost has gone out of the
ground throw back the blanket from
your cuttings and take them out. On
the ends of fully so per cent of all you
put in the ground will be found swol-
len rings, and from these will start the
roots that are to make plants of the
sticks. Now separate the cuttings and
plant them in their proper locations,
and it will not be long before you have
the pleasure Of seeing leaves sprout.
This is profitable winter work, making
possible a stock of choice things for
which there is always use about a
house.-COuntry Gentleman.

1t Pays to Know.

A certain dairyman has increased the
yield of his herd to a wonderful extent
by the use of a pure bred sire, says the
National Stockman. This bulls heifers
and young cows have proved to be re-
markable mixers and he is now a very
valuable animal though no longer
young. The point in all this is that the
dairyman found out the bulls value by
the simple process of keeping a record
Of what each member of the herd pro-
duced. Without such a record he
might have sold the heifers too cheap,
he might have let the bull go to the
butcher or he might have let some
wiser man have him. 1t always pays
to know what dairy cows are doing,
and it pays in several different ways.

WINTERING BEEF
BREEDING COWS

Ten Shorthorn and ten Aberdeen
Angus cows were fed 40 days at the
Pennsylvania station on ensilage and
cottonseed meal alone. says the Iowa
Homestead These cows consumed ap-
proximately sixty pounds of ensilage
and one pound of cottonseed meal per
head daily. During this period they
made an average daily gain of liz
pounds per head.
The ensilage was fed twice a day
and the cottonseed meal once daily.
There was less than 1 per cent waste
in feeding in this manner. These
cows were allowed to run loose in a
shed that was well bedded. the expert
ment lasting from Dec. to April 10.
1t required four tons of silage to
winter each cow in this manner, this
being equivalent to one-half acre of
corn yielding forty bushels per acre
or one-third of an acre of corn if the
land produced at the rate of sixty
bushels per acre. Computing ensilage
at $3.50 per ton the cost of wintering
the twenty cows on ensilage was $3.50
or $14 per head In addition the cows
consumed cottonseed meal to the value
of $40. With this item included the
average cost per head was approx
