Feeding Range Lambs Pays on Eastern Farms
Feed Some Livestock We Are DESTROYS
Keeping Up he Productivity of Farms
BY S. c. MILLER

for the eastern farmers. As the sheep
business expands in the ranch country,
so must the feeding business expand
among farmers in the states farther
east.
This business has survived through
its profits from the beginning, and is
increasing every year.
The most successful feeders make
a practice of buying good lambs early
il the fall. in order that they may
utilize their homegrown forage also
SO that they may get the lambs
started to gain before the period OF
full-feeding begins. s
When good feeders are purchased
early, it is possible to secure gain
of from eight to twelve pounds per
head during the fall at a very low
cost. and this is not the only point to
be considered; they are in much better
condition to put on full rations, and
will make more rapid gains than
those purchased late in the fall and
put on full-feed at once.
During the full-feeding period they
will thrive better if kept in punches
of 40 or so; and in order to do this
the shed may be subdivided with
their food racks instead Of board par
titions,, thus making saving of room
and also of expense, and for practical
utility it is better than board parti-
tons.
The yards and sleeping quarters
must be kept dry and clean, as impure
air and dampness are two things that
sheep cannot stand and make good
gains. The feeding troughs for grain
should be fastened to the feed racks

USE OF NITRATE OF SODA.

For soils that are deficient in nitro
gen, nitrate of soda would be very
valuable on account of it's quick action.
Use it as top dressing at the rate
Of 100 pounds to 200 pounds per acre,
and make three or four such applica-
tons during the season. The first rain
will wash it into the soil and it will
be Immediately available. But for the
general gardener the nitrogen can be
secured much more cheaply and in more
permanent form by the blowing under
Of COW peas, clover and wei. rotted

VALUE OF SKIM MILK.

A pint Of skim milk will repair
more tissue and furnish q little more
energy and make about half as much
heat as a pint Of whole milk-and it
will cost less. Five pints Of skim milk
will furnish as much food value as a
pound Of round steak and cost a
quarter as much. A glass Of skim milk
and half pound Of bread will furnish
one-third enough nutriment for an
entire day, and will cost cents And
skim milk is good for babies In ex-
tremely hot weather.

The method of harvesting the alfalfa
is also somewhat different from that
ordinarily pursued. The alfalfa Is cut

from the dew. tedded and allowed to
lie in the swath during the first day.
The second day it is raked up and
drawn directly from the windrow to
the barn or the market. In this way
excellent hay is made. Except for
threatened rain, no alfalfa Is ever put
into the shock. 1t Is cut three times
each season, the total yield being from
to tons per acre. The alfalfa Is
allowed to stand three or four years,
after which the land is plowed for
corn.

WHAT CAUSES BLIGHr.t

Blight Of pear and apple trees 10
caused by very minute germ which
works inside the bark and out OF
reach of any spray material that may
be applied. It In spread from tree to
tree by insects and gets into the trees
through the blossoms Here 1t IL de-
posted by bees and other insects
which visit the blossoms, and as oon-
ditions are favorable for the Develop
ment of the germs, they pass from the
blossoms through the stems. of the
flowers into the twig and then through
the rest Of the tree.
To control blight by cutting out ths
affected parts is a tedious job, but 1t il
the only way known at this time FORK
controlling it. Whoever will discover a
better way than this will be bene-
factor Of humanity and do a wonder
full work for the upbuilding Of fruit
growing.

tank should be Of sufficient depth to

The difficulties and problems in
volved in the handling Of cream for
making butter are so numerous and
complex, 1t is little wonder there is
lack of uniformity in the product. The
trouble may be due to some one or
more of the following causes: I'm
proper handling of the milk before 1t
is skinned; using the utensils, such
as pals, strainers and cans, for other
purposes, and not cleaning them thor
oughly before they are again used as
receptacles for milk or cream; al
lowing the cream to stand in warm,
ill-ventilated room where it becomes
tainted and acquires an off, flavor or
becomes too sour.
1t is out Of the question to make
the best grade of butter out Of cream
that has an off-fiavor or Is in any
way tainted. Do not think because
there is a small amount of cream it
is not necessary to churn more than
once week, but aim to churn at least
twice a week.
The cold cream, when warmed by
additional lots OF fresh, warm cream,
will sour quickly, and during the col
lecting period it should be kept as
cold as possible with well water. Each
new lot of cream should be cooled
to that temperature before it is mixed
with that previously saved.
The following method has been used
with success: At the beginning Of
collecting period or when the first
amount of cream is placed in the
cream can, a small amount of starter
is added to 1t, usually one-fourth Of
the amount of cream; in this case the
development of acid Is going on slowly
during the time the cream is collected.
No fresh cream should be added later
