TRYING SEASONS FOR COWS
Something Required to Take Place Of
Pastures During Latter Part Of
Summer and E%Iy Fall.

One of the most trying seasons of
the year for the dairy COW is the lat
ter part of the summer and early fall.
At this season the pastures are often
short or dried up, and in such cases it
is a common mistake Of dairymen to
let their cows drop of in flow of milk
through lack of feed Later they find
1t impossible to restore the milk flow,
no matter how the cows are fed. Good
dairy practise demands that the milk
flow be maintained at high level all
the time from parturition to drying Of
1t becomes necessary, therefore, to
supply some feed to take the place Of
the grass. The easiest way to do this
is by means of silage Silage is cheap
er and decidedly more convenient to
use than soiling crops.
The amount of feed will depend
upon the condit' N Of the pastures,
varying all the wayfyom ten pounds to
full winter feed of 40 pounds. It
should be remembered in this connec-
tion that silage contains a low per.
centage Of protein, so that the greater
the amount of silage> fed the greater
must be the amount Of protein in IL
supplementary feeds to balance the ra.
ton.

ment in the herd. If COWS are fed at
stated intervals, they will not worry
for food until the time for feeding ar
rives. If 1t is then given to them in
proper quantity, they will eat and lie
down, chew the cud and sleep or rest
contendedly until time for anothr
feed. First give the grain mixture,
and milk the cows while they are eat
ing it. This routine is recommended
because, with some COWS, the milk
comes more freely while they are eat
ing that portion Of their ration which
has the most relish. Cured roughage
should be fed after milking because IL
fills the air in the barn with dust.
Succulent feed, like silage and roots,
should also be fed after milking, be-
cause of the odor that it gives. Feed
ing twice a day will bring better re-
turns than more frequent and waste.
full feeding. Give half the concen-
trates and half the roughage in the
morning, and half In the evening.
Cows will soon become accustomed to
this routine In the winter they
should be allowed to spend the day

hours about midday they should not
be disturbed. Turning them out into

matter how much or how well they

WEAR AND TEAR OF STREETS
Weight Of Load Being Increased With
out Increasing Strength of
the PaNements.

We are increasing the weight Of
loads hauled over our streets and
not ccrrespondingly increasing the
strength of the pavements to carry
them.
The legal limit of load to be hauled
over the streets of this city is TX
tons This weight is being constantly
exceeded, and the streets are damaged
accordingly.
Occasionally we see these heavy
loads drawn by long strings Of horses,
and when horse power is used the
damage is greater by reason of the
narrower tires usual on the vehicles
and the shoes of the straining animals.
But the greatest danger is from the
power-driven trucks. In these the
horse power can be increased at will,
and it is Of no use to increase horse
power unless the load is increased to
correspond.
The damage done by these heavy
loads is different from that caused by
the swift-moving automobiles. It is
not so readlly noticed, Dut II Is the
more dangerous.
While the tires of power trucks are
wider than those of the horse-drawn
wagon, there comes a time when the
weight, even if distributed over very
wide tires, has crushing force which
the ordinary pavement cannot with
stand. If the pavement is concrete 1t
is broken, and if basalt blocks they
are driven into the ground, in either
case very soon resulting in a chuck
hole.
The limit Of weight of loads which
can be properly transported over any
public street is the limit of the money
which the public is willing to spend
on the foundations of its streets

Gardens on Lamp Posts.

A unique work is being carried on
successfully in Minneapolis, for ex-

year more than $4,000 feet of hang
ing gardens were maintained in the

are regularly canvassed for the pur-
pose, and agreements are made for in
stalling boxes Of flowers or shrub
berry. A private subscription was
started furthermore to install hanging
gardens upon the ornamental lamp
posts Of the city. More than 500 of
these attractive miniature gardens
have been installed by an associa-
ton which regularly waters the plants
and replaces the flowers when they
wither. AS the result of this public
spirited work and at very trifing ex-
pense Minneapolis has won the en-

CITIES NOW MORE HEALTHY
No Longer Eat Up Men as a, Furnace
Eats coal-HoW Health ls
Guarded.

Mortality statistics are showing that
the great cities of the world no longer
eat up men as furnace eats coal, and
that they are outgrowing their depend
ence on rural districts for fresh hu-
man supplies. This interesting theme
Ia worked out by writer in the Inde-
pendent, William B. Bailey, assistant
professor of political economy at Yale.
The death rate in London, for in
stance, from 1881 to 1885 was 20.9 in
each 1000 people. In 1910 it was 1877.
New York dropped from 275 to Is,
Chicago from 21.5 to 15.1, Berlin from
26.5 to 14.7, st. Petersburg from 1928
to 24.1 and Paris from 24.4 to 1871.
In medieval times pestilence found
cities easy prey; today the great COM
munities, guarded as they are by alert,
intelligent, vigorous health depart
ments, are beginning to act as out
posts against the spread of disease.

health department Of Chicago at the
opening of every vacation season is
sues bulletins warning citizens
against the perils of the uninspected
well water they may find on farms
and at many summer resorts.
Not few of the advantages Of the
country-the broad open spaces, clear
air and opportunity for exercise-are
now given to the cities In parks and
Fairgrounds. If the movement keeps
up the cities of the future will be
more beautiful as well as more health
full than the country whose benefits
they borrow.
Rapid transportation-when 1t is
both frequent and reliable-is
one of the great factors in promoting
city health. The car lines enable
city's population to spread out SO
that every man, woman and child has
a chance to get fresh air and sun
shine. The falling death rate in the
chief cities demonstrates that those
who seek protection shall perhaps find
it best in the centers where the peril

The beginner will do well to begin
on small scale-a city lot OF a big
back yard will be large enough-and
grow up, OF rather, let the business
grow until it reaches the stage where
it becomes unwieldy. How soon and
at what point this stage is reached de-
pends entirely upon the person who Is
back Of it.
There are only few poultrymen
capable of carrying on with profit
business where the hens are counted
by the thousands, though so many
are making the hundreds profitable
that the poultry products Of the Unit
ed States equal those of the dairy in
value.
An expensive outfit is not only un-
necessary, but unadvisable. Use the
ruder forms to begin with, and make
the profits pay for the more elaborate
buildings. If they cannot do this.
you do not need the buildings. A
warm, and especially dry situation is
the prime requisite. OF course, there
must be good ventilation.
Many secure this by using cloth in
stead of glass in the windows. The
method admits light, and at the same
time allows for the circulation of air
without danger of draft. Use new
muslin of light weight, preferably un-
bIsached, as 1t is stronger. Old cloth
may seem good enough when it is put
In place; but before you are aware
1t will be torn by hard wind and the
damage done to the flock will more
than counterbalance the supposed
economy in using half-worn cloth.
The material used for the building
will depend largely upon circum-
stances. Some have had excellent re-
suits with only the shelter afforded
by old rails and corn fodder. But in
other locations this would not be an
economical plan. The plan of using
two piano boxes. removing the top and
back of each, and placing them the
width of one box apart is a good one.
The slope Of the boxes continued to
the ridge outlines a slight roof, which
may be covered with the pieces of
board removed from the top and back
of the boxes.
II you have the building it may be
protected by an annual coat Of gov
ernment whitewash, applied with a
sprayer. This not only gives protec-
ton to the wood from the weather, but
tends to keep down insect pests, the
success being still greater If the in
side is treated in similar way or with
frequent sprayings of kerosene.
If you are troubled with rats, a
cement floor will stop their progress
and will be easily kept clean. A
scratching shed is a great advantage,
and in summer it will be most useful
for keeping the chicks dry during
rainy weather OF while the dew is on
the grass.
A compartment for nesting boxes is
also a convenience. Hens like to be
removed from the flock at this time;
end if this is not done there is uneasi-
ness, and when they are sitting, great
danger of breaking the eggs.

HIGH RoOsT3 FOR CHICKENS
Much to Blame for Mortality Among
Young Fowls ls Laid to Over
crowding In Small coops.

Because overcrowding in small
coops placed near the ground tends
to injure the health of young chick
ems, it is advisable to teach them to
use perch roosts as early as possible
and practicable. This is the opinion
Of James G. Halpin, in charge of the
poultry department of the University
of Wisconsin's college of agriculture.
Halpin also lays much Of the blame
for mortality among young chickens
from roup and similar diseases during
the early winter months to neglect
on the part of their owners In seeing
that they are placed on roosts early
in the season.
When chickens are left out on cold
nights in an improvised shelter they
are sure to huddle closely together. In
this way the bodily temperature is
raised above normal, and they become
easily subject to colds, which often
lead to fatal diseases.
