FOOD THE cow ENJOYS
How to Mix and Feed It.
JAMES q. MORMON. r


A dairy COW giving large quantities
Of milk consumes much feed. MIX Is
formed from feeding stuffs digested
and assimilated by cows. so it Is nee
essary all substances entering into the
composition Of milk be supplied to
dairy stock In proper proportion to get
good results. For production OF milk
there are required water. carbohy-
drates. protein. fat and mineral ash.
High quality milk contains about 81 per
cent water. 5 per cent sugar. OF fat,
rs of casein 0.S Of albumen and OF
of ash.
Feeding stuffs contain necessary ele-
ments in varying amounts. Water, for
instance, is contained in all feeds. but
not enough to produce milk, so cows
should be given plenty of fresh. pure
water. Carbohydrates are of two
kinds-thOse without nitrogen. such as
starch, sugar. etc. and fiber or cellu-
lose. which forms the greater part OF
plant cells. which are converted by
cows into fat. Since carbohydrates
form the largest part of feeds they are
made the basis of calculating ratlons.
Protein is the flesh producing sub
stance, containing nitrogen derived
from plants. an important part of milk
and nothing can replace it. Fat fed to
dairy cows in feeds Is stored in the
body and changed into milk fat The
ash is what is left of feeding stuffs
after being burned and goes to form
bone and digestive juices.
What Is a Balanced Ration?
Now balanced ration is one in
which the proportion Of protein, carbo-
hydrates and fat is such as to give the
best results in the quantity and quail
ty of milk produced, which varies with
different cows in different climates.
For a cow giving twenty-five pounds
of milk a day the German standard
fixes a ratio of 1protein to 40 CT car
bohydrates and fat; the Wisconsin and
other standards ratio of l to 6. The
latter is regarded as correct.
A COW weighing from $50 to 1000
pounds receives daily balanced ra-
ton as follows: Roughage. thirty five
pounds of corn silage and twelve
pounds of mixed hay. Concentrates,
two pounds of gluten meal. two pounds
of wheat bran and one pound Of cot
tonseed meal. oilmeal. ground oats and
wheat middlingS If the COW Gives
less than twenty-five pounds of milk
daily deduct one pound of concentrates
for every three pounds less of milk.
On the other hand. for every three
pounds of milk above twenty-five
pounds day, give an additional pound
of concentrates Cows fed entirely on
hay for roughage should be given
about twenty pounds day and about
two pounds Of oilmeal instead Of one
pound

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
Hints on How to Use Them.
z, kNEELAND.


There are owners Of small country
houses as well as farmers who pur-
chase commercial fertilizers on the
cost basis rather than the actual plant
food value contained in the fertilizer.
This foolish mistake. Of course. Is due
to a lack of knowledge of the princi-
pies on which fertilizers are mixed.
Now, suppose we want to buy fertili-
ger for early potatoes. The shop clerk
says this year he is selling 1910
brand, highly recommended by the
A. B. G. company. Well, what does
he mean? He means mixture con-
tanning in every 100 pounds per
cent nitrogen, per cent available
phosphoric acid and 10 per cent pot
ash, three plant food elements vitality
necessary to plant development. Re-
member the order given-nitrogen.
phosphoric acid and potash-is always
the same. Therefore to find the
amount of nitrogen in ton Of the
mixture multiply the four (Which is 4
per cent of 100 pounds, or four pounds
by twenty, there being twenty hun
dreds in a ton and the same with Ell
Their Of the other two ingredients.
The Analysis Vague.
Thus we know how many pounds Of
different plant food elements are in
a mixture, but we don't know In what
form the elements are. If we examine
a fertilizer bag we find on it an analy-
sis Of the mixture. Take special corn
fertilizer for example-nitrogen. 2.7 per
cent; soluble phosphoric acid. % per
cent; reverted phosphoric acid. sos
per cent; insoluble acid. 400 per cent:
potash, 81 per cent. From this we
can only gather there is 81 per cent
nitrogen. and by adding together the
soluble and reverted phosphoric acid
we find the available acid--that is. the
phosphoric aoid-that can be taken up
by the crop in its early development.
The insoluble only becomes available
after lying for long time in the soil.
Finally the potash is simply stated as
being the proportion of CT per cent.
This analysis is of little value IN.
less we know in what form the diff
ferent elements are. As an example,
for growing tomatoes the nitrogen
should be in two forms. nitrate Of
soda. quickly soluble and Immediately
available: also in a form which will
become available gradually. such as
cottonseed meal. However it is
simple matter to write to the agricul
tural experiment station telling the
crops to be grown and soil conditions
SANDY. loan. gravel or clay. and they
will reply giving plant food elements
needed and proper proportions With
these facts in hand. tell the local fer
tilizer dealer your wants. and he will
order a brand whose formula CORE
spends to the one given him.

PRODUCTIVE AND UhPRODUc-
TIVE APPLE TREES
A Question of Profit.
GEORGE T. POWELL,


GEORGE T. POWELL,
Agricultural Experts' Association.
Fruit trees are propagated by two
Notwithstanding and budding. In
grating. the wood of the preceding
years growth is cut and made into
pieces containing three buds. These
are inserted into the roots of seeding
trees in winter or in the tops of young
trees which are cut off in the spring
and one or two CRAFTS set in. which
will grow and make the future top of
the tree.
In budding. the bark of Seeding or
young trees is opened in July or Au-
gust, sometimes in September. when
buds on the present years growth are
cut off and inserted, bound tightly
with raffia. when in a few days the
bud unites with the branch in which
1t is inserted and the following spring
grows into a tree of the same variety
as that of the bud.
How to Plant.
In future planting of orchards it is
important to know the bearing quail
ty of trees and whether they have
been propagated from good productive
stock, and as apples live for so long a
period they should be well cared for.
In planting buy two-year-od stock
bal
cutting back all roots one-fourth of
their length. Little pruning should
be done for five years. except to cut
branches inclined to grow in wrong
directions. Some excellent varieties
for summer are Yellow Transparent.
Red Astrachan. Red June and Viii,
liams Early; and for autumn Ouch
ess. Gravenstein. Wealthy. Twenty
Ounce and Fall Pippin. For winter.
Baldwin. Rhode Island Greening.
Northern Spy. King, Mcintosh. Rome
Beauty. Stayman's Winesap, Pound
Sweet. Bailey Sweet. Wagner. Win
ter Banana. Jonathan. Delicious, and
there are at least fifty other good
kinds.
For a market orchard plant not
more than three or four varieties.
For family use. plant one tree of about
twelve varieties. and graft one-half of
each tree with another good kind.
which gives twentyfour choice varie-
ties, covering all seasons. Most va
rieties are planted forty feet apart
each way and those of spreading
growth, like the King or Greenir@.
fifty feet Filler trees that do NOT
grow large, as Yellow Transparent.
Duchess and Wagner. are planted in
between at twenty feet one way only.
These will begin bearing in five years

WHAT DO you KNOW ABOUT
INCUBATORS?
Points on Getting Ready For Spring.

Points on Getting Ready For Spring.
E. K. PARKINSON.
The first thing you ought to know,
at any rate. Is that this Is the time to
start incubators for early high priced
broilers. providing you have dry eel
lar. where an even temperature is
maintained. and plenty Of fresh air to
be had. as well as warm. sunny,
sheltered spot for the brooders. An
incubator is necessary for every prac-
teal poultry plant, but it requires an
observing eye and sharp attention to
make it successful.
Whether a novice or skilled hand at
running incubators, it is well before
starting to read all directions in the
catalogue sent with each machine and
moreover to follow those instructions
infinitely or failure results. Having
chosen good place. set the incubator

level and make sure, for an incubator
is built to distribute heat evenly over
the egg chamber But If one corner
stands lower than another this is i'm
possible. If the machine is new at
tach the regulator rod and arm to the
thermostat inside and try the arm by
turning the nut on the end of the rod
up or down until familiar with its
movements. Leave the nut unscrew-
ed until there is an eighth of an inch
slack This will be taken up by the
thermostat expanding as the incuba-
tor becomes warm.
Warming Up The Machine.
Fill the lamp with good oil. trim the
wick. place on support. adjusting it
so the fame can easily be seen. Light
turn down to low fame at first, and
leave the machine alone for twenty
four hours before trying to adjust the
regulator. The thermometer inside
should now register 70 or so degrees.
the exact temperature is not impor-
tant. loosen the nut on regulator rod
three or four turns and wait till the
heat comes up to the nut: continue to
loosen the nut carefully until the tenn
perature reaches 102. then stop. Run
the machine two or three days at 1902
or 1922 degrees before filling with
eggs. and when the eggs are put in
let the regulator rod alone forty eight
hours. Fill and trim the lamp daily.
KEEP THE BURNER CLEAN. and
run ut 1o2 or 1922 degrees for the first
