on wheat chat, because she does not

With this point in view dairyman
will have in his mind which feeds to
grow. Grow the feeds most adaptable
to the farm which are most palatable,
writes w. W. Carrothers in Orchard
and Farm
The most important consideration in
palatability is succulence. Succulence
is juiciness. Get succulence into the
dairy cows ration and there will be
no trouble in having her eat enough.
Succulence in summer, when alfalfa
growing is in full swing, is easy. In
late fall and early winter when every
thing is dried up and we are waiting
for the rains, succulence is hard to get.
The silo solves this question. The
day is coming when no progressive
dairyman will be without a silo to
supply winter feed The cost of
erecting a silo is now down to the
place where almost every man can
have one, nevertheless many of our
dairymen cannot afford enough silo
room to feed their herds the entire
fall and winter through.
A thousand pounds of roots is worth
a thousand pounds of ensilage for COW
feed. Roots cost more to produce
and are not as certain a crop. The
production per acre is also consider
ably less
Another way to get succulence is
dampen straw with water and 20 per
cent of feed molasses. This is not
as good method of getting palata-
bility as with ensilage or roots, but it
has its advantages. Inferior hay can

the horse can unlearn On account of
mental weakness.
A horse kicks his master to death
when turned upside down with foot
in stirrup, because in that position
the horse does not know what his
master is, and suffers from imaginary
fear. He kicks the shafts of buggy
until his legs are broken because he
does not know that the shafts are
harmless and that he himself is doing
the damage. He runs away in the
saddle or in the harness because he
has not sense enough to know better.
