The amounts speci- fled are those to be fed to a COW giv- ing from 20 to 25 pounds of milk a day, and cows giving more than this should receive more feed, especially more grain, while those giving less milk should have the grain cut down. The general plan followed is to give each COW all the roughness she will eat, and about one pound of grain for each three pounds of milk produced.

FENCING" TO HOLD THE SOIL
Terracing Is One Form of Land Drain. age, Object Being to Get Rid
 of Water Gradually.

CBy DON SCOATES. Mississippi Experi-
 ment Station)
 1T your soil wants to stray of. a fence it in. This fencing holds the soil, just as pasture fence keeps the COWS from straying. Soil fences are generally called terraces. The time to build these fences is in the fall and early winter before the winter rains begin to wash the soil away, and when the farm work is light.
 Terracing is one form of land drain age. In this country, where we get about five feet of water annually and sometimes get four inches of that amount in as many hours, we must de something to take care of it or it wilt wash our top soil off the hills and put it in the bottoms Now, we well know that the hills need that top soil badly and the bottoms have excelI,nt tor soils without giving them any more.
 The object of terracing is to get the water that is not needed off the land and get it off slowly The terrace is a shallow ditch, with a bank thaf catches the water and conveys it to al. outlet or open ditch. The size of these terraces varies, but it is the best plan to make them wide and not too deer or high. The terrace bank should h. made from eight to twelve feet wide and about eighteen inches deep. The idea of this wide terrace is to allow wagons, moving machines, manure spreaders and other implements to go over them with little difficulty. With the wide terrace, rows of cotton or corn can be planted on top of the ter race, just as on the rest of the land and generally the crops grow better there than in other parts of the field
