SUMMER FEEDING FOR COWS
To Overcome Short and Dry Pastures
Animals Should Be Given For
age With Some Grain.

Pasture is one Of the essentials of
successful dairy farming, but must not
be depended upon blindly as the only
source Of the cows feed during the en-
tire growing season. Given the prop
er chance to make a good growth of
grass during the early spring season
before the herd is turned upon it, the
cows will usually get enough food
from the pasture alone for a few
weeks Of the late spring and early
summer season to fully maintain their
condition and milk flow, but later will
often go hungry and fall off both in
body condition and milk flow because
the pastures become dry and short.
To overcome this the cows should be
fed either green forage or silage with
some grain.

MANURE FOR WHEAT.
Use as a Top Dressing In Prepared
Land Increases Yield.

LdHu tnCTedSeS ieIO.
That the use Of manure as a top
dressing in preparing land fer wheat
increases the yield materially has been
shown by experiments made by the
department Of agronomy in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Two fields on the agrOnomy farm are
used continuously for growing wheat.
These fields have the same kind Of SOIL
are always plowed and cultivated in
the same way and are seeded at the
same rate and time One field. how
ever, receives two and one-half tons of
barnyard manure each year as a top
dressing, while the other receives none
The first yield was obtained from
these fields in 1911, when the MANFRED
held made yield of 2939 bushels an
acre and the unmanured a yield OF
2o.S4 bushels an acre. showing an in
crease of 800 bushels an acre through
the use of manure
ms difference was not so great as
during later years because the grea test
Increase in yield Of wheat from ma
nure does not come the first season aft
er applications
In 1912 the yield was low because of
poor wheat conditions. The yield from
the MANFRED field was only GIGS bush
els an acre, while the unmanured tract
yielded but 5.6S bushels. A noticeable
factor in these figures is that as the
yield decreased the effect Of the ma
nure also decreased. This indicates
that during a poor season for wheat
the effect of manure will be less than
in favorable season.
In 1913, 1914 and 1915 the increase re.
sulting from the use Of manure became
more pronounced, ranging from six to
nearly eleven bushels. This marked
difference is no doubt due to a number
or causes. The field which had receiy- F,
ed no manure is becoming less produc- |
tive, while the one receiving manure !
Is apparently becoming more produc-
tive, and the cumulative effect of the |
manure is becoming more noticeable.
The average result for period of
i've years proves beyond doubt that
the use OF manure as a top dressing on
wheat Is most profitable practice"
says Il. l. Throckmorton, expert ia
SOILS. The average Yield Tor the un-
field was 1920 bushels, while
the MANFRED field yielded 23.47 bushels
an acre, or an average increase for five
years OF 6.27 bushels an acre, due to
the annual application of two and a
half tons Of manure applied during the
winter as a top dressing"

Cultivate Sudan Grass.

Sudan grass should be cultivated as
soon as possible after the first crop OF
hay is removed. A good stirring of the
soil at this time will be great help
to the plants in making a good, strong
start toward the second crop. If the
ground has been kept clean and free
from weeds during the early part Of
the growth Of the first crop it will not
be necessary to cultivate frequently
during the growth Of the second crop.
Just enough cultivation to maintain
the desired soil mulch will be needed
in this case. BY the time the first crop
has matured the plants have stooled
and spread out I'm the row to such an
extent that it makes any cultivation a
much less tedious operation for the
second crop than is the case with the
young plants during the early growth
Of the first crop.S Since the first crop
IS to be allowed to stand for seed DUR
poses, the growing period of the sec
ond crop will be shortened several
weeks at best and good cultivation
will help considerably toward increas-
Ing the yield of the second cutting.

Cutter for the SIIo.

There are on the market several
makes OF silage cutters that will give
satisfaction. The capacity of the ma
chine to be purchased is an important
consideration which should not be
overlooked. Many persons make the
mistake Of getting a cutter which is
too small. thus making the operation
of filling the silo very slow and inter
fering with the continuous employ
ment Of the entire force of men.

THE AUTOMOBILES.
Notable Price Cuts i'm Machines
Bringing Them i'm Reach of
Army of Buyers.

During the earlier day of the mo-
tor-car, to be seen riding in an au-
tomobile was a sign of wealth and
luxury. People of modest means and
humble social position felt flatter-
ed to be invited to ride even short
distance in machine. They felt dis
appointed if they were not observed
by friends.
Laborers working on the roads
were often seen shaking their fists
at passing motorists. The machine
in their minds stood as the repre-
sentative of cruel capitalistic sys-
tenn of wealth and luxury. 1t was
the proletariat defying the aristo-
cracy manifested in the flesh in
their presence. 1t was a symbolic
and class act, with no personal ami
mus back of it.
In the rural districts the feeling
was bitter. One farmer was known
to put gun in the back of his wag-
on on his way to town, openly threat
ening that he would use it on the
first motorist he met.
The abuses of operation of auto
mobiles Nave grown worse rather
than better since that time. Where
ever there are cities and large towns,
the roads are crowded with a push
ing, hurrying crowd of drivers. How
this traffic is to be regulated, and
common. decency enforced on peo-
pie of rash temperament, is one of
the daily problems of life.
Meanwhile the recent notable
price cuts in machines, and others
likely soon to come, are bringing the
automobile within reach of a new
army of buyers. Already a moder-
ate priced automobile, with good
care, is cheaper to maintain than a
horse and carriage.
The automobile is no longer a
badge or expression of class feeling.
Soon the man of wealth may begin
retiring from company which Is
growing too common for his taste.
The farmers are said to own more
of them than any one class. The mo-
tor crowd in exterior aspects is far
from bearing the marks of distinc-
ton. 1t all looks plain and common
enough, in one equal democracy of
dust.
