Keep salt before the cows at all
times.
Regularity in feeding is Of supreme
Importance with the dairy COW.
Keep the floors warm. Cold floors
cause much loss in milk in winter.
In sailing butter one ounce of salt
to pound of butter is generally about
right.
Dairy barn ventilation should be fur
nished by a system, not by cracks and
drafts.
The successful dairyman Is the man
who puts thought into his work. He
lisa student Of conditions.
Now about those COW stables. Don't
forget that hole in the side Of the
COW barn means a hole in the pocket.
On warm days let the cows out in
the yard for change and to get in
the sun. When cold keep them in the
stables.

Der 1t costs money to get an animal in
good condition.
Many times the COW that does not
yield a profit at the pail is just as
liberal an eater at the Manager as the
COW that does make you money every
day
Feed cows daily one pound Of grain
for every three pounds OF milk pro-
duced. twenty-five to forty pounds Of
corn silage, and what clover or alfalfa
hay they win eat
{ Very frequently . COW that is only
fair as to breeding and productive ca

ton of the growing crop, even though
the seed is still implanted.
In the case of spring blowing, the
repeated use of the harrow may put
the surface in excellent condition,
and still leave the bottom of the fur

dition. 1t is much better to continue
the working of spring blowing with
the harrow and the disk, as this adj
ditional work has a tendency to com
pact the furrow slice and improves
the conditions of growth. BY all
means, properly prepare the seed bed
for this years corn crop.

The combined actions of the rain

More farmers are growing alfalfa
today than have ever grown it and
some of them are making serious

many Of them it is a new crop and
they fail to see where letting few

do it any harm. 1t does seem rather
unreasonable at first for plants that
have grown vigorously all summer,

still growing vigorously. that it should
carry a few cows through the winter
with all ease and without injury
Alfalfa Is plant that differs very

growing and maturing crops that have
been clipped off by the mower. It has
been fighting weeds and crab grass
and has not had the opportunity to
build up its own root structures very
much. In the fall, if left to itself, it
will make a strong and needed growth
that will insure a heavy crop next
summer. When alfalfa starts grow
ing in the fall it is storing up energy
in its roots system and this energy
will be used next season. It will shoot
up vigorously next spring and will be
all the stronger because of its tate
fall growth. That is why fall or win
ter pasturing is bad for it.

cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do required work.
When eVergreens are planted late
they should be thoroughly watered and
dust mulch maintained around the
roots until winter sets in.
It Is difficult to tell by the looks Of
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer months or not, as
very often they retain their verdure
some time after they are dead.
In the spring, however. trees that
die turn brown within two or three
weeks. The better time to plant ever
green's, is, in our opinion, in the
spring; and we see no reason why fall
planting should be resorted to unless
through necessity. A. +. s.

SOME FLOWER NOTES

The azaleas bloom late in winter.
In the south plant sweet peas and
trim roses.
Make out Jour lists for seeds and
plants early.
Plants that are not growing need
no fertilizers.
Take no chances in fighting insects;
fight to exterminate.
Do not shower plants on cloudy
days and keep out Of the sun when
