(By J. T. GRAINGER)
 When spring Is thoroughly in, the country will be full of rich grass, and nearly all the stock of the farm will be doing we'll on 1t. It's effect is some what relaxing for time, but such re- taxation must not be classified with that which in delicate animals is caused by indigestion. For instance. calf is badly weaned, ill nurtured in its infancy, during which period the constitution is made or marred. Then as a yearling or two-year-old, the steer has become so debilitated that he cannot digest the ordinary food. and the evacuations are too liquid for robustness, and habitual purging is the unhappy portion of such an unprofit- able animal, which remains unthrifty for life.
 The healthy yearling or two-year-old bullock may, just when the grass is young and flushy. be purged as much, but he will rapidly gain flesh, and as the grass becomes older and harder, the purging will gradually disappear.
 On such pastures where the grass is exceptionally rich, no one who thor oughly knows his business will put any stock except superior full-grown bull locks, because the grass is rich enough to fatten them, making them third, at the least, more valuable; and then he has the use of the grass, when the bullocks are grown. for other stock.
 Of course there are few farmers who have pasture that will fatten bullocks without artificial assistance, and those who have such luxury should not de- bilitate it by moving. but rather build 1t up by the best of farmyard manures.
 cannot say I am an advocate of using light artificial manures for pas lures, but grass can be indirectly fed by carting green food to the stock and linseed cake and other purchased foods.
 The land from which any of these green crops are taken must be com

KIND OF DAIRYING
 MAN WILL ATTEMPT
Much Depends Upon Location of Farmers land-Much Ad-
 vantage in Freight Rates.
(By WILLIAM A. FREEHoFF9

(By WILLIAM A. FREEHOFT)
 The kind of dairying a man will at tempt depends largely upon the loca- tion of his land. If the farm is within a mile or two of some large city, worth several hundred dollars per acre, the most profitable type will be the retail milk farm.
 This milk, or sweet cream. even, must be of high class, and must sell for correspondingly high price in order to be profitable. The farmer sim ply cannot afford to make butter or cheese on such expensive land and make it pay dividends.
 In summer, during the ice cream season, there is a heavy demand on some days, and lighter call on others. There is no uniform price. The dairy man will have to make quite elaborate arrangements with retailers in order to sell all of his products to advantage.
 There is another disadvantage, how ever-that is, the matter of freight or express rates. Then there are those men beyond the easy reach of some city markets. About the best thing they can do is to haul their milk or cream to cheese factory or creamery, as the case may be.
 They may eve1 arrange to have . man call for the cream at stated inter vals. This method of dairying has the advantage that the skim milk or whey remains on the farm, and thus less fertility is carried off.

 These men may well sell to cen tralized plant. This factory, which ac

NEGRO Amendment Gets Dis
approval of Lower House.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE i'm
migration bill was sent to con-
ference late today by the House
after it had registered its disap-
prevail of Senate amendments
barring "members Of the African
or black race and eXempting
agricultural immigrants from
Belgium from literacy test and
the contract immigration pro.
visions.
Both these amendments caused
protracted debate. Most southern
members favored retention Of the
negro amendment, but others
suggested that to press it might
mean final defeat of the ell
tire bill. Northern representatives
generally opposed the provision.
After an extended debate a roll
call showed vote Of 152 to Is
against it.
The Belgian exception was de-
feated without decision, after
several efforts to alter its pro-
visions had been voted down.
Representative Cullop proposed
to broaden the exception to ad.
nit not only farmers but indust-
rial workers from Belgium. Rep.
resentative Gallagher suggested
inclusion also Of farmers from
Poland.
The Senate amendment to eX-
clude all persons of "constitu.
tional psychopathic inferiority,
and persons with chronic alco-
holism,' was accepted.
Much Of today's debate was
against the literacy test, opposed
by President Wilson despite the
fact that it already has been
agreed on by both houses. Rep.
resentative Gallivan made an ef-
fort to secure another vote on
the test provision, but was ruled
out Of order.
