PROPER CARING FOR HORSES

The proper caring for farm horseA
begins with the careful selection Of
farm work, avoiding the use OF light
horses for heavy work or extremely
heavy horses for work which could
more easily be done by horses Of
lighter weight.

its task is so heavily handicapped that
no care that can be given it can alto

encourage the horse TO lie down du-

ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY cow
Turnips and Other Like Root Veeeta-
bIes Make Fine MIX Producing
Feeo-~Add to Variety.

No matter what some people tell
you. turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the favor of milk, II
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed ia large quanti-
ties and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but II fed
directly after milking, no flavor
whatever will be noticed.
A peck Of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient in most cases.
A good plan is to feed directly after
hay in the early morning, and once a
day is often eonugh
A little salt scattered over the tur-
nips. which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller. add to their
palatability
Roots make a very valuable addition
to the winter ration. because they
add to the variety Of the feed, and no
animal on the farm appreciates va
riety more than the dairy COW
In Wisconsin Iowa and other
western dairy states the root crop
is becoming a very important part Of
the crop of the farm.

In regard to overproduction, II
should be said that this is not a new
question. Fifty years ago a pessi.
mistic vail was going up that the ap-
pie business would soon be overdone.
and would cease to be profitable. At
that time, not more than one-tenth as
many apples were raised for CONNER
cial purposes In the United States as
are raised today.
One hundred years ago apples were
but little raised for commercial pur.

SECURING STAND OF ALFALFA
Excellent Argument Presented In Fa-
vor Of Spring Seeding With Oats
as Nurse Crop.

A seven-acre field Of alfalfa on the
Ohio state university farm. at Colum-
bus. presents good argument in IA
vor Of spring seeding, with oats as
nurse crop. This field was seeded
April IL, at a rate Of 10 pounds of
alfalfa aud a bushel of oats per acre,
both sown in the grain drill at the
same operation. On July 10 the oats
we're cut for hay. making a yield Of
a little over a ton and a half per
acre
BY September 10 the alfalfa was
ready for the first cutting. and the
yield OF feld-cured hay on the seven
acres was 1880 pounds. or a little
over nine tons II is rather unusual
TO secure a crop OF hay the first sea
son after seeding, but good seed prep
aration and favorable weather condi-
tions this past summer are partly ac-
countable for this excellent stand.
The field, which is level and well
drained, was in potatoes in 1910
That fall It was sown to rye which
was plowed under the following
spring and the land planted to corn.
Last fall this corn ground was plOwed
with a deep tilllng machine. and left
for the winter. In April it was thor
oughly disked and narrowed before
the alfalfa and oats we're sown.

FATTEN SHEEP FOR MARKET
Where Work Has Been Postponed
Until Too Late for Pasturlna
Special Food Is Needed.

All old and such young ewes as the
owner does not desire to keep should
be culled out TO fatten short
time before the ram Is turned In with
the breeding ewes. The Gull sheep
can be fattened earlier in the season
by turning them into rape Aeld as
pasture. but II you put Off too late
special food is required In pure
bred flocks the ewes are often kept
until they die OF old age. as their
lambs are worth mure than they are.
but in a graded flock it does not pay
to keep ewes that do not have sound
mouths. An old ewo is likely to prove
unsatisfactory.
In selecting rams the aim should be
TO select those that are strong in the
points in which tho ewes are weak
For instance. ewes that have an open
coat and are narrow breasted should
be bred to rams that are strong on
those points By this method a very
uniform flock can be established in
a very few years. ]. Is a good idea TO
turn the ram with the ewes IN the
evening after he has been fed and
take him out In tho morning before
