HuIler For Peas and Beans.

We are using homemade machine

SOIL EROSION IN THE SOUTH.
Large Areas Are Lost to Agriculture
Through This Cause.

Through This Cause.
The following statement regarding
soil erosion in the south rs taken from
the last annual report of the bureau Of
soils OF the United States department
of agriculture:
In study of soil erosion in the south
it has been found that large areas are
lost to agriculture annually through
erosion. In some states vast areas.
amounting to as much as 30 per cent
of the arabic land of these sections.
have been abandoned. The character
of the erosion varies with the type of
soil. Usually on the heavy clay soils
''sheet" or surface erosion Is found.
With increasing proportion of sand in
the soil the erosion changes to the
shoestring" type. then TO the gully
type, with rounded edges. and finally
to the gulies with caving edges.
All methods for prevention and con
troll are based either on increasing the
capacity for absorbing the water as it
falls or on decreasing the velocity of
the run-off. A new method in use in
one locality is the construction of what
are known as 'christophers." the dis
tinctive feature of this plan lying in
the manner of disposing Of storm wa
tiers. Across an incipient gully is built
a dam. through which is passed II
sewer pipe connected with an upright
pipe on the upper side of the dam.
Water fills the valley until it reaches
the top of the upright pipe and then
flows down this pipe into the next
field. The water left standing below
the mouth Of the upright pipe is grad
ually removed by tile drain.

WARM WATER FOR COWS.
Ice Cold Drink Has a Bad Effect on All
Kinds of Cattle.

Do not forget that the cows and
calves need water in the winter as well
as feed says the Kansas Farmer Do
not overlook the fact that IL the water
is much below the temperature Of that
fresh from the we'll IT will require the
use of some Of the feed consumed TO
bring that water to proper temperature
after the animals drink. 1t Is as fool
ish to expect that COW can do well at
milk production drinking cold water
through a hole In the ice twice n day
as IL Is TO think that she can pro-
duce milk when eating only cornstalks.
Milk Is about 80 per cent water, and
liberal milk producers will not drink
sufficient cold water to supply their
needs. We have seen the effect Of cold
water on milking herd and know
that this is 80.
Arrange some way by which the cow
can have water OF the temperature OF
the well. This can be had by pumping
ut about the time the cows are ready
to drink or can be provided by using a
tank heater. Ii is just as well also TO
keep I'm mind that all other farm ami
mails will do better IL they can have
water that is not too cold.

CORNSTALkS AND SNOW.

1t is sometimes a good plan to
leave some of the cornstalks
standing. Every fourth row left
standing will hold lot Of snow
on the land. At the North Da
kota experiment station ii was
; found that one-fourth of the
cornstalks left standing stopped
about as much snow as when all
were left. This will in many cases
mean good deal to the next
: crop. The added moisture will .
make the soil less liable 10 blow.

A strong point in favor Of the
Holstein COW is that. owing to her
size. she will convert into butter
fat a lot Of roughage produced on
the farm. and. furthermore, owing
10 her high producing qualities. she
will leave more skimmilk 10 be fed
on the farm. Another point is that
Holsteins produce a greater amount
of butter fat than cows giving
smaller quantities of milk that test
higher in butter fat. This has
been proved many times.

Usually II takes about 20 per cent OF
