abundance of different feeds to make.
up for this dry or inferior feed.
OF course the flow of milk cannot
be kept up to what they give during
the spring and summer when pastured,
but with plenty of first-class hay, such
as alfalfa and good clover, and fine
feed Of bran and corn meal kept on
hand that 1t may be fed literally two
or three times a day as slops, there
will not be SO much decrease in the
milk supply after all. That Is, If IL Is
given to them literally and regularly.
Do not think It is a waste to feed
such feed when there isn't anything
but dry hay of some kind to feed on.
On the latter, the COW can barely
maintain her flesh. much less keep up
the milk supply.
When we have good clover hay and
alfalfa, not so much of the bran, fine
feed or meal is required, as both. when
cured properly, are very strong feeds
and cattle thrive on them.
am not going to attempt to give
the amount that should be fed, as
leave that for the dairyman to decide
for himself. What l wish to impress
upon the readers mind Is this: The
necessity of having on hand always a
liberal supply of bran, meal, fine feed.
ETC.. to go with the dry hay or corn
fodder. which Is generally of an in
ferior quality. fed at this season of the
year.
Without the above feed mentioned.
1t is impossible for the dairyman to
obtain good results during the season
when cattle are not pastured.

TASK or DEH0RNING CATTLE
Operation Is Most Frequently Per-
formed to Prevent Animals From
Injuring Each Other.

Cattle have been dehorned since
about 1890. The operation sometimes
Is performed to remove horns that are
broken or otherwise injured. but most
frequently it is to prevent horned ami
mails from injuring one another. Usu-
ally II Is considered justifiable on ac-
count OF the benefits that are derived
from the operation.
The growth of horns on calves may
be prevented entirely by the liberal
use of a strong solution OF ordinary
I've; or IL the use OF n solution is not
desirable IL can be purchased at drug
stores In the form of sticks known as
caustic potash. This should be ap-
piled Immediately after birth to the
place where the horn makes its ap-
pearance. Care should be exercised
when using this remedy because the
I've will eat away all the skin with
which Il comes In contact.
Various kinds Of instruments are
used for the removal OF the horns of
older animals. II an ordinary saw Is
used it should be sharp and fine. as
this lessons the danger of splintering
the bones of the head during the oper-
alton. II large number of animals
are dehorned, quicker and safer work
can be done with a "dehorning in
strument." This can be purchased
of any veterinary supply company for
$3.50 to $40.
II Is best not TO dehorn during the
fly season. Sometimes the horn is
cut close 10 the head and cavities are
opened which become filled with mag.
gots IL flies are prevalent. The ami.
NAL suffers intensely. IL this happens.
and there is rapid loss in condition.
III cavities are accidentally exposed
a small piece of cotton. smeared with
tar, may be applied to the wound and
held In place by means OF a bandase
around the head. This also is OF great
value IL excessive bleeding follows the
operation. II nlaggots gain entrance
TO the cavities of the head they should
be washed out with a weak, watery
solution of ordinary dip.

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGRICULTURE
BY peser Radford.

There Ii no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
OF agriculture will not be attained
until 1t In solved, for q market
Is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop
Governmental and educational insti
tutions have spent $3.50. 600. 900 In the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given TO the marketing side
or agriculture.
The problem II o monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until It gets within the grasp Of q
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom Of the age
upon It. Il 10 q problem which the
farmers. merchants. bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving,
The Farmers Union stands for all
there In In farming from the most
scientific methods OF seed selection TO
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing, but does not be-
lieve In promoting one to the neglect
or the other. We consider the work
OF farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com.
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give US their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be- extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production Of the
factory; We cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load.
Ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul.
ture by Cutting the market with q
surplus OF products.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRlATIoNs.


This nation II now entering upon
an era Of marine development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted TO our shores and the world
war IL making unprecedented de-
mands for the products Of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate. and our flag
10 seldom seen In foreign ports. II
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed In conquer
ing the railroads TO mastering the
commerce Of the sea, q foreign bot
ton would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article win be confined to q
discussion OF our ports for the pro
ducts OF the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have In this nation 81 ports, OF which
IL are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The sixty-second
Congress appropriated over 1000.
900 for improving our Rivers and
HarbOrs and private enterprise levies
q toll Of approximately $4,000. 900
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service il rendered
The latter item should be lifted Oh
the backs Of the farmer OF this ma.
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to q wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port In progress. Il takes
out the unnecessary link In the chain
Of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is sc
heavily laden with results or win
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that OF q free port
and none can be more easily and eff
fectively secured.

unholy alliance that civilization did

aloud. Since the beginning OF gov
