will never be satisfied in the nest

Young birds should never be handled

AS the parent-robins search the
lawn for worms to feed their young,
hopping a little way and then stop

see an English sparrow following
close behind and little to right or
left. He is expecting the robin to
pull worm from the ground, when
he will dive boldly for it, snatch it
away, and make off with it. In this
piratical enterprise the sparrow is not
infrequently successful.
Note your robins carefully. Dis

they return to you another year. A

ALFALFA AS MILK PRODUCER
Hay, With Proper Kind of Grain and
Little Succulence, Will Duplicate
June Pasture.

By l. R. wADRON Superintendent
Dickinson, n. D., satisfactory
Alfalfa is Of great value as a milk
producer, for 1t is a we'll known fact
that an ample milk flow requires rich
feeds. Good June pasture produces
an abundance of milk. 1t has been
demonstrated that alfalfa hay, when
used with a proper kind Of grain, and
with a little succulence, such as en-
silage, will practically duplicate
June pasture.
When cows are properly fed, before
turning onto pasture, they show no
increase of milk fow upon the pas
ture. If dairy COW is properly fed,
she must have ration that contains
a larger percentage of protein than
is found in common hays or in most
of the grains. Protein is supplied
through bran, lirseed meal or some
other concentrates To pay high prices
for these to increase the milk flow
means that the cost of milk produc-
ton is increased. and in many cases
TO such an extent that milk is pro-
duced at a loss, or at very nominal
margin.

TO feed the crop.
The soils and crops department has
been fertilizing wheat for number
of years with good results. When
We spend one dollar for the right
kind of fertilizer we expect ID get that
dollar back and two dollars extra.
Then 1t not only helps the wheat but
also greatly improves the yield OF
clover. Clover needs more phosphorus
when grown on the clay and clay loan
soils, and when grown on the sandy
and sandy loan soils 1t also needs
potash. If the wheat receives a lib
eral application of fertilizer there will
be some left for clover. Our best
results have been obtained by using

ten per cent. phosphoric acid and from
three to five per cent. potash. The
higher per cent. of potash is used on
the lighter sandy loan soils.
Where clover has been turned under
or the preceding corn crop has re-
ceived an application OF ten or more
tons Of manure, the nitrogen may be
left out, as it will do little good
where there Is a fair supply of or

In case farmer wishes, he can
usually save several dollars a ton by
buying the fertilizing materials and
mixing his own fertilizer. A good

average between s12 and SIS an acre
10 produce and market wheat. From
1900 TO 1909 Indiana produced on an
average OF 142 bushels OF wheat to
81 cents per bushel. In other words
the average acre OF wheat produced
during this ten-year period was worth
$11.93 or less than enough to cover
the cost OF production. This doesn't
look like the wheat growers are re-
sponsible for much OF the present high
cost OF living.
The problem OF growing more
wheat, like the problems In every
line OF business, depends upon doing
the right things and doing them a
little better than the average.
BY far the largest part of the wheat
acreage OF Indiana is seeded either in
standing corn or just after the corn
has been cut. Another large portion
is seeded on fallowed oats stubble.
The wheat seeded under these con-
ditions constitutes about 80 per cent
Of the total acreage of the state and
