Crop Rotation and Livestock on the Farm
From Washington Agriculturist
L. v. COOKE

Live stock husbandry should have
more important place in our present
systems of farming. The growing of
live stock and the crops which they re-
quire is by far the safest line of produc-
ton. 1t is also the surest method of
restoring to the soil those plant food
elements that have been taken from it.
The crops which the various classes of
live stock require should, on a small
scale, divert the farmer from a ''year
after year" single cropping system to
rotation Of crops that would greatly
improve soil fertility. There are now
sections IN our state that are being i'm
povershed in the essential plant food
elements, The surest and cheapest
method to start the improvement is to
grow legume crops and feed them to
the various classes of live stock right
on the farm. Of course this method can
be followed only as a side occupation
to the general line of farming unless
conditions permit its extensive develop
ment.
The rotation should consist of legume
crops principally, the kind depending
ON the class of live stock kept on the
farm. Swine and dairy cattle are per-
haps the most common classes of live
stock kept on the average farm for their
products. The chief legume crop to be
used under these conditions should be
that of alfalfa This plant forms excel-
lenS forage for swine and dairy stock.
1t IS hardy and drought resistant. From
the standpoint of balanced ration or
aadlng humus and nitrogen to the soil,
1T can hardly be surpassed 1t has a
feeding value of slightly more than
double that of timothy. AS pasture or
as hay, 1t is one of the most nutritious
and palatable of feeds for all classes of
live stock. The alfalfa plant has a tap
root ten to fifteen feet deep on we'll
drained soils. When the field is plowed
these roots decay, adding humus to the
SUI ana forming passage ways Tor sur
face moisture to penetrate to the lower
layers of the soil. Like other legumc
crops this plant has the property of liv-
ing in friendly relationship with micro
organisms known as nitrogen fixing
bacteria. These minute organisms col
lect in nodules upon the roots of the
plant and have the power of converting
the free nitrogen of the air into nitro
gen compounds that are available for
plant use. Alfalfa leaves the soil richer
in nitrogen, which is generally the most
deficient and expensive element.
Red clover is legume crop very sim
iliar TO alfalfa either as a feeding ration
or fertilizing plant The yields may not
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1914-01-30

be as high as with alfalfa, but will add
variety to the ration with good results.
Root crops, such as mangels, rutabagas
and carrots, should be grown for winter
feeding of the swine. In localities
where possible corn should be grown
for silage. Silage for dairy COWS is an
excellent feed. Aside from it's succu-
lence and palatability it is one of the
cheapest forms Of roughage. Corn
does very well on previously MANFRED
soil.
Of course it would be useless, except
to fertilize the soil, to grow these crops
unless the stock were on the farm ready
to consume them. 1t may not seem at
first that the hog consumes much
roughage, but if he is given chance,
he will make good part of his living
from it. Besides, swine are profitable
class of live stock to raise This is
proven by the way they fit, as a side
occupation, into different systems of
farming. Furthermore, it takes less
money to begin the business than per-
haps any other class of live stock The
farmer should not start the business OH
too large a scale at first, but should in
crease his herd as he becomes more
familiar with the business. 1t does not
pay to "get out" of the business when
hogs are cheap and "get in" when they
are high. Profits are made by the man
who has hogs to sell when they are
either high in price or low in price.
Money invested in hogs is quickly re-
turned. They grow fast and mature
early. They may be regarded as by
products Of the farm and also a means
of marketing by-products of the farm
In feed lots, the hog utilities the grain
which the cattle have failed to digest.
He is a means of obtaining good prices
for skim milk; moreover he roams the
stubble fields picking up and making
use of what otherwise would have been
wasted.
To get the best and cheapest com
bination of feeds is essential to success
in swine growing or any class of live
stock. Good alfalfa pasture during the
summer will do away with lot of ex-
pensive grain feeding. In summer the
sow with litter can run on alfalfa
pasture, if she has either considerable
skim milk, or two per cent to three per
cent Give weight) of grain ration. The
young pigs can be weaned at six weeks
of age, if they have skim milk and
grain ration. The grain ration should
be either wheat, middlings, rolled oats
or ground barley, or combination o.
these. For winter feeding roots should
replace the pasture. Of the root crops

mangels are the best. Also, second
crop of alfalfa cut very tender and
stocked without loss Of leaves makes
very fine roughage for winter use
These feeds not only give bulk to the
ration, In combination with grain, but
have laxative effect wlich is very de-
sirable in swine feeding. Since it takes
considerable more feed to put on a hun
dred pounds of gain after they have
reached 200 to $50 pounds live weight,
1t is perhaps more profitable to turn
the ''porkers" on the market at this
weight. Also the market demands this
size Of hog.
Much can be attributed to dairy
cows, as they perhaps, more than other
animals, will consume greater part OF
the roughage. They are l.achines
which convert bulky farm produces into
much less bulky and easily marketable
products which carry away from the
farm very small amounts of plant food
clements The kind Ct cow to keep
would depend upon conditions. Where
swine production is profitable occu-
patton on the farm, it might be well
to keep high grade Holstein COW for
the large quantity of milk which she is
capable of producing. Tii3 milk may
not be as rich as that of the Jersey or
Guernsey, but the extra large amount
Of skim milk would take the place of
considerable amount of grain from the
swine ration. Where there is consider.
able upland pasture on the farm, it
might be well to keep milking strain
OF Shorthorn cattle or one of the dual
purpose breeds. AT the. present de-
mands for beef, profits could be
realized by selling the young stock each
year. They would possess the size and
beef characters which would mike
them eagerly sought by buyers, either
az feeders or as finished animals for
the block. Alfalfa, both as pasture and
as hay, is very good for dairy Gays.
Clover can be substituted for alfalfa
with equal results Other rou.aage
feeds may be added to the ration which
are corn silage and roots. Grain, to be
fed with the roughage, may be either
Wheat bran and middlings, ground oats,
peas and corn meal, depending upon
which is the cheaper, either in combina-
ton or alone.
The manurial value from the keeping
OF dairy cows can not be over estimat-
ed, when the manure is used to fertilize
the soil. After field has received an
application of manure, it may be sew
eral years before the benefit can be
fully realized and the effects noticed in
the crops grown. 1t is estimated that
mich cow produces about seventy-three
pounds of total excreta per day. or
about 1875 tons per year. The bedding
used would raise this amount to about
fourteen or fifteen tons per year. If
proper methods are used nearly all of
this amount can be saved and ADDED tc
the soil. To utilize the manure is a
strong indication of success in farming

Chicago. Divorce Evil.

Chicago Inter Ocean: The first re
port of the new marriage bureau by
Patrick J.sJ. Mccarthy, its head, is
made public by Chief Justice Adeior
j. Petit OF the circuit court, under
whose direction it was compiled. 1t
shows the alarming fact that there
are now granted in Chicago approx
mately 5000 divorces annually.
Further, the report shows that
these divorces were in large part re-
sponsible for the petitions for the
care OF 50.35s children which have
been fled in the juvenile court since
1899, and that divorces or acts which
are grounds for divorce were directly
responsible for 33, 80 of such petit
lions
Judge Petit rightly says. in com
menting upon the report, that the
hardships OF divorce fall mainly upon
the children Of divorced parents. He
suggests as a remedy that in divorce
cases where the parties have chill
dren DEGREES be withheld until the
children become OF age. That would
mean, in some cases, as long as TWEEN
ty-one years.
This remedy is OF doubtful value II
is at best only palliative, for it would
hardly reduce the number OF separa-
tons. and if parties go to the length
of asking divorce the mere withhold
ing of a decree is not likely to result
in the proper care of children.
Besides, it is treating only a symp-
tom instead Of the disease. What
