Drain Wet Land With Plew.

want 10 talk with you 4 little

with that plow; We will frs, 60 down
in the very lowest place and make
a ditch; let it run into the creek or
branch, just 50 We have an outlet.
Now get the plow, step oil your land
about say l. or II rows wide, com
mcnce in the middle and turn to
10 the right or G. as we boys call it,
SO that when we have finished this
and the dead furrow will run squarel
into the main ditch: Law OF another
land the same way aud be sure to
let each dead fnrrow run into man
ditch; shovel out ends of dead fur
rows SO that all water will run out
easily; make the dead burrows Just
as deep as possible, and when the
field is all plowcd all dead furrows
will drain into main ditch. Now
&C will commence To prepare land
for planting; jus, disc. drag, harrow

p!nwcd your land, and cultivate
crossways of dead turrows. You
think YOU will ill up Your little
drains, aud of course you will fill
them up some, as when YOU drive
across you will drag some dirt in,
and thatis just what YOU want to do
50 that you can make good corn
right down IN those furrows. Now,

I'LL them up. | understand you
have been bedding your laad for
some time, but you have been plan;
ing Inc same way YOU have been
bedding, and that is not right, for
you know when you plant that way
you will have Two rows of corn, one
either side OF your dead furrow, that
will not make anything but weeds
and grass. Try this way just one
time, and you will Gad that you
have no weeds, bu; will make good
cora right doAn in dead fuTrow
Besides, !; "i!! be much easier 10

Forage Poisoning Threatens TO Caus:
Heavy LosseS in Outbreaks
Among Horses and Mules.

During the fall of I9I, numerous
outbreaks of forage poisoning oc-
Cured throughout the state of Ken
lucky, but in the spring of 1918
when the animals were turned out To
pasture the losses were soon checked.
In the last two months numerous
letters have been received from farm
ers reporting the presence of this
disease IN a very virulent form, re
sulting in the loss of large numbers
of animals. Some outbreaks have
occurred, so sudden and fatal in
their onset, that owners suspected
malicious poisoning. Examinations
of the stomach contents of the AMI
mails fatally affected eliminated this
suspicion.
The cause of this disease Is close
ly related to the feed. In the ma
iority of outbreaks observed in the
Blue Grass section aud along the
Ohio river counties, where it has
been most prevalent, the cause is at
tributed to moldy or inferior ensI-
lage Samples nf eusIiege have been
received at the experiment station
for detailed study, and Dr.. II. Cor
man reports the presence of molds
which are considered the cause nf
forage poisoning in one of the mid
die western states.

ensi ege to the litter must be carried

of the ensilege must be made at each

fed early in the moring or late in the
evening when i, is impossible to de-
tect the spoiled and Inferior feed.
There seems to be but little doubt
that this trouble could be wholly
eliminated, or partially so, by the
correct construction of the silo, as
majority. of the outbreaks have oc
cured where the silo was impropcr
ly built. All silos should be cover
