have happened and are explainable
under the present disturbed condi-
tions, do not, nor cannot constitute a
part of the program of the Constitu-
tionalists who are pledged to the prin-
ciple of the separation of the State
and church and are firm believers in
the principle Of religious liberty"
One of the main reasons that has
prevented a better feeling of cordial
ity existing between Mexico and this
country has been the fact that the
ordinary American looks upon all
Mexicans as 'greasers" and affects an
air of superiority towards the nation,
that has bred the worst of understand
ing between the two countries. The
lower class Of Mexicans, commonly
called the "peon," is undoubtedly ig-
norant and ill-kempt, but he has ster-
ling virtues of honesty and genuine
love OF his country that deserves re-
spect.
President Wilson by his just atti-
tude towards Mexico has wiped out
the old memories that country has
held of us since the Mexican war,
when we took from 1t the greater por.
ton of its territory. Mexicans now
universally recognize that the only
ambition this cocntry has in regard
to Mexico is to be of help and assist
ance TO 1t.

away from other live stock. The COW
stable need not necessarily be an eX-
pensiye part of the barn, but should
first of all be made as sanitary as pos
sible. This can best be done by using
concrete for the stall floors and gut
tiers. While the first cost may seem
high, yet it is cheap in the end, owing
to its long lasting qualities, and it is
very easy to keep clean. If this is
tc1 expensive, good arrangement Is
'le &c. manure cutters OF con
ciete or wood and use wood or clay
for the. stall floor. Nearly all OF the
best dairy barns now have concrete
floors throughout, and this is always
advisable if the owner can afford H.
The length of the stall varies from
four feet three inches for small COWS
to FIVE feet for large ones. The proper
width is three and one-half feet The
Manager should be two and one-haH
feet wide, and the manure gutter SIN
teen inches wide by six to eight inches
deep. There should be a feed way
COWS, and walk way behind the COWS.
The COWS can be confined in the
stalls either by using the modern
swing stanchion or by a chain tie.
Then can either be kept confined in
the stalls during bad weather, or they
may be allowed to run loose in part
Of the barn and the stalls used for a
milking barn. The latter method is
very much in favor with many dairy
men and saves a great deal of labor
in caring for the cows. If plenty OF
bedding is used they can be kept
clean with less work by using this sys-
TEN. Either method is much better
than combining the COWS in small box
stalls.
Plenty of light and ventilation
should be provided for, by allowing at
least four square feet OF window space
to the COW. In this climate the ven
tilation can be had by arranging the
windows on hinges at the center 50
that they open like transom.

THE MANAGEMENT OF WINTER PASTURES

out the season, provided, of course,
that they are given some grain, as they
always should be.
Since cereals intended for grain pri-
marily are sown later and at smaller
rate of seeding, they can not be relied
upon for as high production as those
seeded for winter pasture only. The
grazing period must be much shorter
by beginning later in the fall and stop.
ping earlier in the spring. They should
seldom be pastured later than March
first. Horses and heavy cattle should
be removed even earlier, while sheep
and hogs may remain with less dam
age.
Wherever practicable. crops should
be grazed at successive stages by
changing the stock at intervals of sew
eral days or few weeks. This prac-
tice requires the division of the field
into at least two areas, but pastures
are made more productive than they
would be under constant use.
Rye will stand closer grazing than
any OF the other grains. The closer
grazing should be done in the spring
rather than in the fall on fields where
grain crop is not expected.
The aim should be never to allow
stock on these pastures while the land
Is wet or the crop covered with frost
The injury to the physical condition Of
the land, especially clay soils, from
tramping while wet, may far exceed
the profit obtained with the growth oil
the stock. Even with thick, early
seeding, this difficulty will remain ant
must not be lost sight of. However
the more abundant the covering, the
smaller will be the damage.
To overcome this difficulty, rye may
be seeded into a red clover or Japar
clover sod by diselng lightly, and ther
seeding the rye with a disc drill dur
ing the first days of October. Tit
land remains firm and there is little
damage from treading of stock.
We can not emphasize too strongl!
the Importance Of providing ample
winter pastures for all classes o
stock, and especially hogs and sheep
They can not be raised at a good prof
without it. 1t is equally important tina
both the pastures and the land upol
which they grow be used judiciously

The cost of producing pork on the
arm can be reduced from one-third to
)ne-half by making larger use OF the
great variety of crops that can be
grown and which the hogs relish. Corn
S the most important and most gem
orally used hog feed, and will likely
continue to hold it's position in ali
practical rations. But corn alone is
lot itch enough in protein and mineral
matter to supply the proper proportion
If nutrients for muscle and bone build
ing. Its excessive use tends to dimin-
lsh the strength of bone, retards the
growth of frame, and induces excess
sive fat. These effects may be obVi-
ated by supplementing the corn with
any of the commonly grown nitro
genous feeds, of which we have such
A great variety. In this connection
pastures should be used as much as
possible, as they furnish the cheapest
source of protein and mineral matter
and also give bulkiness to the ration
Maintaining the Breeding Herd.
Pastures furnish the only profitable
basis for handling hogs the year round.
The sows and herd boar can be kept
in fine condition on a good leguminous
pasture with the addition of corn
ration equal to / per cent of their live
weight Without pasture 3 per cent
to per cent of their weight in dry
feed will be required, and of this ra-
ton not more than one-half should
aver be corn.
Corn may be supplemented satisfac-
torily, so far. as the animals needs are
concerned, by heterogeneous concen-
trates, such as shorts, bran, soy beans,
cowpeas, tankage, cotton seed meal,
and skim-milk But these feeds are
now so high in price that it is rarely
possible to get market price for corn
when fed.
II concentrates must be used, corn
should never be fed alone. Skim-mili
is very valuable supplement to corn
and when available should be fed in
the proportion of one part of corn to
three parts of skim-milk. Other con
centrates should be fed in the proper
| ton of about one part shorts or bran
to three parts of corn; one part oil
| tankage to nine parts Of corn, and one
part of cotton seed meal to six parts
of corn. If cotton seed meal is fed, II
must be fed In connection with cop
peras water. 1.-THE method is explain
ed later in this paper.) Cowpeas ant
soy beans are now so high in price
for seed that they can not be widely
used as feed, but as they get to be
more commonly grown they shoulc
come into general use as supplements
to corn. They should be finely GROUND
and fed in the proportion of about ont
part of cowpea or soy bean meal to si'
parts of corn.
The SOW should receive nothing bu

rowing Then she should have skim

! In providing a home for the COW
1t should be remembered that it, is a
place where human food Is produced.
With this fact in mind, we should plan
the dairy barn with view to supply
ing an abundance of Light and pure
air, and should make the conditions. as
sanitary as circumstances will permit.
On the average farm We are apt to
overlook the family COW. Too often
there is little or no shelter provided
for her, or if there is any shelter at
all, it is often only an open shed on
the side of the general barn The COW
is really one of the most important
animals on the farm, as in many cases
she furnishes a great bulk of the food
for the family She is a mother and
to give the best returns for the feed
consumed, she must be treated as such
and provided with comfortable sur
roundings.
One of the surest ways to reduce
the milk flow is to leave the COW out
exposed to a cold wind or rain. With

of the food consumed to keep up the
body, when the COWS are housed in a
comfortable barn. When no shelter
is provided in cold weather, a much
greater portion of the feed is used for
keeping the body warm.
Not only is a comfortable home for
the farm cows an economical invest
ment, but if the conditions are such
that the place can be kept reasonably
clean, the work of caring for the cows
is made more attractive and great
part of the drudgery is removed.
On the dairy farm there should be a
barn built after modern plans for the
housing of the cows; but for the man
with only a few COWS, good plan is
to build the COW barn in connection
with the horse barn, or general farm
barn. The cows should be in sep
arate part of the barn from where the
horses are kept, for two reasons first
for sanitary reasons, and second, COWS
give more milk when kept quiet ant

Probably larger acreage of small
grain and clover has been soWn this
fall, for the sole purpose OF grazing
throughout the winter season, than
ever before in Tennessee. Moreover,
the usually high prices Of all kinds OF
live stock, and the extreme scarcity
of roughage available for winter feed
ing will invite many stockmen to turn
stock on both the area sown for that
purpose and also the fields that are
to be harvested for grain. Both prac-
tees seem to be wise. In the former
case, If a clover is soWn with the
grain, fertility will be added to the
soil at the same time 1t is furnishing
one of the most economical feeds IN
the South. In the case of the crop
intended for grain, grazing may often
be practiced on rich lands without de-
creasing the grain yield. 1t is occa-
sionally beneficial On poorer lands,
a decrease in the grain yield Is likely
to result, but at present prices, the
profit from the stock will more than
overbalance the decrease in grain. and
at the same time keep the fertility on
the land. 1t is important, therefore
that the winter pasture should be man
aged SO that the maximum amount OF
green forage will be obtained, and In
the case of the grain crop, the de
crease in yield will be reduced to q
minimum.
The key to success with cereal crops
and legumes sown entirely for pasture
purposes lies in thick seeding In late
August or early September, on a seet
bed that has been we'll prepared. The
! crops should then be allowed to affair
a height of three or four inches before
the stock are allowed upon them. Too
often pastures are injured, and theil
possibilities are wasted, for the SAKE
of few days pasture in the early fall
whereas their efficiency might b.
greatly increased for winter and spring
use by waiting a short time.
/ The greater the number of stock t
be used on a given area, the longe
should the grazing period be delayed
Climatic and soil conditions must als'
be considered. Under ordinary con
ditions, an Augustsown pasture OF
