GROW YOUR OWN FEED
More COWpeaS Could Be Grown

Cost Of Milk Can Be Greatly Reduced
by Replacing Part Of Concentrates
In Rotation With slIaee-
Alfalfa Is Cheapest.

Too many dairy farmers are run
ming to the mills and feed stores for
supplies for their dairy COWS. They
know they need concentrates, but do
not study the problem OF feeding to
a conclusion. Down in Tennessee
they raise great deal of cowpea hay,
and think much of It. Northern farm
ers might raise more to advantage.
They are also beginning to know what
alfalfa is down there, and they are
feeding 1t largely in many sections of
the state.
The Tennessee station has helped

ing with the different feeds for dairy
and beef cattle. The investigators
find that the cost of milk can be great
ly reduced by replacing part of the
concentrates in a ration with silage, be-
cause of its succulent and palatable
nature.
A ton of alfalfa or pea hay can be
produced at cost of from SO to S.,
whereas wheat bran costs from $40
to $25. From two to three tons
OF pea hay and from three to
five tons of alfalfa can be obtained
from an acre of land; hence there
is great advantage in the utilization
of these roughnesses in the place of
wheat bran.
Alfalfa and pea hay cannot be sub
stituted to the best advantage for cot
tonseed meal, as this foodstuff is so
very rich in protein, that a larger
bulk must be consumed than the ca.
pacity of the average COW will per

When blight attacks the cantaloupe,
then the hopes of the grower wilt as

cantaloupe troubles. The leaves be-

The spots commonly show fine and
rather indlstinct concentric markings,
such as are found in the common al.
ternate blight Of the potato. The leaf
stalks and vines are also affected. The
blight is caused by a fungus, which
may at least be checked by spraying
with bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from twelve to
eighteen inches long, and then every
two weeks during the season.
The bordeaux mixture should be Of
the usual strength-six pounds Of
bluestone and six pounds of lime to
fifty gallons of water.
The greatest care must be taken to
get down on the under side Of the
leaves with the spray.

trate will enable the dairyman to
make milk and butter at less cost
and will thus solve one of his most
serious problems.
In substituting alfalfa hay for
wheat-bran, 1t will be best to allow
one and one-half pounds of alfalfa to
each pound of wheat bran; and the
results are likely to prove more salts
factory II the alfalfa is fed in tine-
ly-chopped condition.
These tests indicate that with al
falfa hay at $40 ton and wheat
bran at $40, the saving effected by
substituting alfalfa for wheat bran
would be 81 for every 100 pounds Of
butter and 1913 cents for every 100
pounds of milk! The farmer could
thus afford to sell his milk for 1913
cents hundred less than he now re-
ceives, and his butter for about 20
cents, as compared with rs cents a
pound.
These experiments show why al
falfa has been frequently used as a
basis of manufactured foodstuffs, and
Indicate that the farmer who can
grow 1t makes mistake in purchas-
ing artificial stuffs of which it forms
the basis.
When alfalfa was fed under the
most favorable conditions. a gallon of
milk was obtained for 81 cents, and a
pound OF butter for 104 cents. When
pea hay was fed, the lowest cost of a
gallon Of milk was So cents. and a
pound Of butter 9.4 cents.
In localities where pea hay has
grown well. 1t can be utilized to re-
place wheat bran; and In sections
where alfalfa can be grown, this crop
can be substituted for pea hay with
satisfaction.

ATTENTION AT FoALlNG TIME
Nothing Better Than Alfalfa or Glover
Hay and Bran for Rich Bone

1t is undoubtedly the best practice
to work the mare regularly until with.
in two weeks OF foaling time After
that make the work lighter but keep
up the exercise. The mare at this time
requires more feed than otherwise,
and 1t should be rich in bone-forming
matter. There is nothing better than
alfalfa or clover hay and bran. At
this time corn should form at least
one-third Of the ration, never more,
and oats onethird.
At foaling time cleanliness and
Quietness are two most important re-
quisites. II previous to pasture time.
a comfortable, roomy box stall should
be provided. This, however, should be
thoroughly disinfected, as should be
the bedding which is placed in II.
II is very important that the colt
should be nursed after birth. For ten
days after foaling 1t is very advisable
not to work the mare, but simply to
exercise her. The colt should not fol-
low the mare while she Is at work, as
this is too hard for the colt and does
not do the mare any good.

TROUBLE IN RAISING CALVES
Principal Difficulty 10 seours and ls
Usually Caused by Some Mis-
take In Feeding.

The principal difficulty in raising
calves is scours. This trouble is usu-
ally due to mistakes in feeding-dirty
milk, dirty pals, sour milk, fermented
grain, irregular feeding, overlooking;
almost any mistake in feeding Is IL
able to bring about this trouble.
The first thing to be done in such
cases is to reduce the feed about one
half and see that it is fresh and clean
in every respect Oftentimes this will
be all that is necessary, and then the
calf can be gradually brought back
to full feed.
II the trouble is serious and per-
sistent, give the calf two to four table
spoonfuls of castor oil in milk as a
physic, and two or three times daily
mixture of one part salol and two
parts subnitrate of bismuth in doses
OF one to two teaspoonfuls, depending
upon the severity of the case and the
size Of the calf.
If scours is general and persistent,
1t will be we'll also to disinfect the
calf stalls with compound solution of
cresol, or some other good disinfect-
ant.
If calves begin to scour In one or
two days after birth and the discharge
is white, acute contagious securing is
probably the trouble and will require
the most thorough dlsinfection and
the prompt services of a competent
veterinarian.

WAR ON THE ORCHARD PESTS
Apple Maggot Is Tough Customer and
Cannot Be Killed by Spraying
Many Other Nuisances.

The pear-tree slug comes from eggs
laid early in leaf of pear, cherry,
ounce and plum trees. They do a
great deal of damage. Spray with the
arsenites or hellebore.
When you see winged fly around
the orchard early in summer, you may
know it is the apple maggot, which
deposits its eggs in the partially
grown apples through the skin. Mag.
gots hatch in few days and then
tunnel out in all directions. 1t is a
tough customer and cannot be killed
by spraying.
You may find on the limbs of your
apple trees little, compact silken
nests full of pretty caterpillars. These
are the tent caterpillars and in July
they emerge from the eggs and begin
feeding. Spray with paris green. This
will generally kill them of.
Paris green will destroy the grape.
vine fea-beetle. These little rascals
gnaw- irregular holes in the leaves of
the vine and injure the ripening of the
fruit.
One of the most serious injuries to
blackberry vines is gall, caused by a
small fly which deposits its eggs in
the cane. These hatch into grubs
which do great deal of damage. Cut
ting out the canes and burning them
is the best remedy.
The strawberry slug appears as a
four-winged fly early in the spring,
and lays its eggs in the leaf. These
hatch out small worms which do
great deal of damage. Spray with
paris green and burn over the fields
after the crop is gathered.
The cherry aphis is a small louise
that may be found on the under sur
face of the leaves of the cherry trees.
These hatch into young aphides that
suck the sap out of the bud. Spray
with kerosene emulsion early In the
season.
The fruit-bark beetle is a little fell
low which attacks nearly all fruit
trees by boring small burrows in the
inner bark. They often go all around
a tree and utterly destroy it. Spray
with bordeaux or arsenite or a COM
bination of both early in the season.

the skin is not so firm and the pota-
